knowledge of these general principles,
will enable one to place his advertise
ment to the best advantage. 1t may be
laid down as rule that if an article Is
not worth advertising it is not worth
selling, and the sooner one gets it out
OF his hands the better. And if it is
worth advertising at all it should be
done thoroughly, and while it is well to
pay most attention to the papers from
which the greatest benefit is expected, in
nine cases out of ten it pays TO use the
columns of every respectable paper that
circulates among the people desired tor
patrons.

Among those who have used the household
remedy, Ponds Extract, scarcely family can
be found In which it is not the rule to keep il
constantly on hand. The one difficulty is that
it is SO valuable in relieving and curing in al
most every accident family is subjected to
that the medicine is often exhausted when an
urgent and sudden use for 1t arises. 1t Is eco
nomical as to price, and important for the
greater surety Of having it when suddenly

SPANISH AMERICAN NAMES,

~ Inc opaniards, whose occupancy of
NerT Mexico, Central America, and
South America has left their impress
upon all that territory, have usually
adopted the native naMe of the tribes,
but in a few instances have imposed
purely Spanish names. 1t was while
Magellan winIered in st. Julian's Bay
thai the name OF Patagonia first came
into use; be saw the enormous prints
made in the sand by the natives feet
thickly enveloped III lurs, and he conse-
quently named them Patagones, that
Is, big feet. The Bravos Of Mexico re-
ceived their name from the Spanlards,
and were called Indios Bravos, tnat is,
brave or wild Indians, and Indos de
Guerra, that is, warlike Indians. The
Pueblas OF Mexico are the "ylllage In
dians." The Llaneros (Sp.E9lanos, 4

The Boston Post has very care fully

merely one Of the results of an improv-
ing business but one of the most potent
agencies that promotes an Improvement
In trade. The correctness of these
premises being admitted, and we think
they will be by all observant persons,
The summer trade thus lar gives the
public much reason to feel encouraged
especially are advertising more effect
lively, for they are relying more on the
cooperation of newspapers and less
upon the various dodges which, in the
experimental season of greatest de-
preston, took advertising out of its
legitimate channel and placed it
where little good was realized
from the outlay. The stove deal
Frs at their meeting In Detroit
listened to some sensible advice from
The President OF the Convention as fol-
Tolows: "It we would make the best
possible use Of our money, we should
patronize ably-conducted and RESPONSE
Bile newspapers. The newspaper is i'm
measurably the best medium open to
Dur trade; the most liberal and expert
advertisers testify to its value, and in
the employment of its columns we
would find means OF escape from
Wasteful, uudgnifed and ineffective
lheir eagerness to secure attention and
patronage" The above is just as true
in regard to persons engaged in all 9th.
or branches Of trade as it is to stove
dealers. and he who would advertise et-
TectiVely must use the columns OF the
newspaper. But there is judgment to
be exercised in doing this, and the ad-
yertiser who studies his business care
fully, and selects his papers according

Tor the money invested. Most

Vertised in all daily papers provided it
