ART PUBLIsHING.-Few people are aware of
the wonderful progress that Art has made IN
this country during the last quarter of II GEN.
tury. 1t is but n few decades since, that
those who desired to beautify AMI adorn their
homes, were obliged to depend almost en-
tirely on foreign artists. But such state of
affairs in this age of progress and improve
ment could not last long with the great Amer
lean people.
Among the progressive leading Art Pub
fishing firms OF the country, We take pleas
ure in mentioning George Stinson Co., of
Portland. Maine they were among the first
in the business. and We can only understand
the colossal proportions their trade has AS
sumed by remembering that this is u great
and mighty Nation of net rly fifty milionpeo-
pie. We cannot better illustrate the magnitude
of their business than to state the amount
of money paid by them for postage stamps
during the year 1876 We have the figures
direct from the firm, or we should think
there was some mistake. They paid for
postage stamps during the year 1876, thirty
three thousand one hundred and four. dollars
and ninety-two cents (S33, lOi 92) and. III
connection with this it should be remember
ed that only the small orders were sent by
mail. the larger )ing by express and freight.
George Stinson & Co.'S, agents are to be
Ill every NtAlt tllt thi'h anu b'
minion of Canada and in every county with
scarcely an exception.
Long since, this enterprising firm recogni-
zed the value OF printers ink judiciously
used in advertising. and they inform us that
without 1t they could never have extended
their business as it is to-day, in three times
the number of years. short time since
they paid in single day twenty-four thou
sand dollars 1924, 600. .00l on II contract for
newspaper advertising. They evidently long
since found the road to success and have
neither turned to the right nor the left.
Three things are necessary for eminent sue
cess in business. First, standard honest
goods that the people generally need and de
sire,-let them be the best, whatever the line
of business. Second, let your prices be
reasonable as low as possible. Third let
the people know what you have, and what
you can do, by liberal and persistent adver-
tising, and you will find low prices, made
known and proved. will bring trade that will
give II larger income than can be made IN
any other way.

A Forgotten Mlsslye

FROM TIf FRENCH.
The other day when rummaging in one of
his drawers, that he calls the grave OF his
souvenirs, Mr.. n, well known dramatic
author, found the following note
Tonight We will meet hope. love
you as ! never loved before, and as never
will love in the future. You are nv whole
life | have but one desire, that is, that our
love will only end with it. Yours forever. -
This passionate epistle, without any date,
had been written some ten years ago, by one
Of the most charming actresses of that Pc
riod.
That love had of course died out, long
time ago. However, when reading those
lines over again Mr. y could not help think
ing Of the old times.
All at once a whimsical idea struck him
and he wrote on the back of the amOrOu-
missiye
Il bet yon a louis that You do not remem-

WASTE OF POWER 1t has been calculated
by DR.. {. W. Siemens that the Niagara Falls
does a. much work as 266, ,OOO, 600 tons OF
coal could do in year at the rate of four
pounds per horsepower consumption OF fuel
in an hour. DIR. Siomens objects to so much
force being wasted. and his proposition Is
that the water might be made to drive an
electrical machine at the Falls, the current
from which would traverse copper rod.
lie has calculated that a rod three inches
in diameter would transmit 900 horse

the end the electricity could be used to pro-
duce motion or light. the quantity Of cleo

Connecticut in 1900, when he was four years
old. His progeny were highly esteemed in
Massachusetts and Connecticut. Some cav
airy horses OF this breed so attracted the eye
of Washington at the siege of Boston in 1873
& that a MIR. Lindsay by his advice purchased
the horse that has since borne his name and
took him to Virginia. This, from all ac-
counts is the true origin of the breed, ms well

Drifting In the Bay Of Naples.

BY I. BUCHANAN READ.
My soul to-day
Is ar away,
Sailing tbs vesuvian bay,
MY winged boat,
A bird afiOat,
swims reund the purple peaks remote
Round purule peaks
IL sails. and seeks
Blue inlets and their cry sta creeks.
Where high rocks throw,
1hroush decps below,
A duplicated golden glow.
Far, vague and dim,
The mOunta us SWIM
While Uu Nesuvius' misty trim,
With oUtstretched hands,
The gray smOke stands
U'prlooklng the volcanic lands.
Here, I.chia smiles
Ger liquid miles
And yunder, bluest Of the isles,
calm Cspri waits,
her sapphire gates
BeruiIing 10 her bright estates.
heed not. If
MY rlppling skiff
Float swift or slOs from cliff to cliff.
With dreamful eyes
My spirit lies .
Under the walls Of Paradise
Under the walls
Where swells and falls
The bays deep breast al intervals
At peace lie,
own softly by,
A el ud upon this liquid sky.
The day, so mild
Is heavens uNn child,
With earth and ocean reconciled -
The airs | feel
Around me steal
Are murmuring to the murmuring keel.
Over the rail
My hand trail
Within the shadow Of the sail -
A Joy intense,
The cooling sense
Glides down my drOwsy Incidence
With dresmful eyes
My spirit lies
Where summer sings AT d never dies
Oer-yeiled with vines,
She glows and shines
Among her future oil and wines.
Her children, hid
The cliffs amid.
Are gaIbolling with the sambOlling lid
Or down the walls
with tipsey calls,
Laugh on the rocks like waterfalls.
The fishers child,
With tresses wild,
Uuto the smooth, bright sand beguiled.
With glowing lips
Sings as she skips,
Or saZes at the far-Ofi ships.
lOn deep bark goes
where traffic blows,
From lands Of sun to lands OF SHOWS
THIS happier one,
Its course is run
From lands Of snow TO lands Of sun.
o happy ship
To rise and dip,
With the blue CRY sLal at your lip.
happy crew
My heart with you
Fails, and sails, and sings anew.
No more, no more
The worldly shore
UlbTaius ne with It's loud uproar,
With dreamiul eyes
My spirit lies
Under the walls OF Paradise
