There is no doubt about some of them

ReguIar Advertising, :,

Take it as a rule, the constant ad- vertiser is the one who does the pro- fitable business, and not the one who flashes his announcements at irregu- lar intervals upon the public. A merchant starts a business, puts up his sign, and he keeps it there con- tinually. He would be considered a rara aUis indeed, if he would pull down his sign when business was dull, and put it up again when busi- ness livened up. Still that is the plan of some advertisers. They make a good showing for few times, hang ing out a nice sign, telling people where to find them, and what they have for sale, and when trade slack ems, they pull in their sign, and take a nap until better times awakens them. We think our advertisers, these who wish to make the use of printers ink pay them, would find it more profitable to have regular, yearly cards running, changing them frequently to prevent them get ting stale, then make their special announcements in separate advertise ments when ready to do so-

 Of the Pacific Type Foundry's ex- hibit at the Mechanics Fair, the F'atr Daily says:
 This is in our opinion, the best dis play of printing material and type making ever made at any public ex hibition on this coast. It attracts great attention, and reflects great credit on Marder, Luse & Co. and their general agent, MT. N c. Hawks, of 523 Clay street. S. F. A dozen or more of men, boys and girls are busy at their several departments in the process of casting and finishing printing type of various kinds and sizes. From personal observations of the writer Ga practical printer) we consider the home made type of this firm frstclass in all respects, and in some partic ulars superior to all others. No one interested in printing or iu the process of "coining'' new type-which speak out loud" so far and near-will fail to visit Mir.

Street Suits.

STREET suits this season are almost
invariably short enough to swing clear
of mud and dust, and to show the
pretty boots which are the order of the
day. The usual width of short skirt
at the bottom is two and half yards;
very tall ladies have them q quarter OF
yard wider--very short ladies as
much narrower than this. For plain
walking dresses the usual finish to the
lower skirt is killed founce from
eight to twelve inches deep. Above
this the tunic is draped in various
ways; so many, indeed, that it is diff
cult to specify any particular style as
the leading fashion. Perhaps the pref
erence is for tunics distinct in front
and gathered in easy, horizontal folds.
The backs are straight and Topped in
every conceivable way, but the ends
are almost invariably square. The
pannier is out in full force, but it is
formed, not by crinoline underneath,
but by full, soft drapery OF the
dress itself. One stylish model had a
single deep full puff hanging at the
back; and vet another has two puffs,
one on each hip, and yet another has
three puffs, one above the other, direct
" behind. All the fullness of the low
Or skirt is drawn to the back by means
of an elastic tape run in o casing across
the back breadths half yard from the
foot of the skirt. Fichu wraps are
much worn with walking suits, as we'll
as with carriage dresses, but the pref
erence is for the double-breasted En-
glish jacket, or still more for the Louis
XIV. jacket, opening to display the
long vest of striped or brocaded mate.
rial below it. Very often the vest is of
plain silk or satin. The incroyable
coat is much liked, both for walking
suits and for full-dress toilets. This is
double breasted, fastened with four or
five buttons at the waist, showing the
vest above and below. Very often the
Jacket has revers both at bottom and
top. These may be easily made by
facing the fronts and turning them
back, when the jacket need not be cut
unless desired. y Philadelphia Times.

To eleasos&i5 haelE |. With remarkable
cdS}hess and presence ofNGind, when
this strange pair had reached the din
ing-room. the girl remembered that
there was a revolver on the top of the
clock. For moment she let 60 her
hold upon the tramp, and, getting
TRop,a chair, she succeeded in finding
the weapon, and commenced blazing
4ttliout& c6femOnY. s.e The first
shot caught the robber in the hand,
and he dropped the treasure that he
still held. lie then commenced to beat
aretreat, the girl still firing at him.
Finally he got into the yard, scaled
the garden fence, and got away. From
the dining room to the fence whore he
climbed into the road, he left bloody
marks, showing that he was pretty
badly wounded. Carrie, after the de-
parture of the villain, did not swoon,
but gathered up the money and jew
elry, and then, going into the yard,
rang the dinner bell. Presently the
farm laborers came in, and, learning
how affairs stood, they started in pur-
suit Of the thief. Up to this writing
no clue leading to his identity has
been discovered. Mr.. Kitchen re-
turned from Hamilton, and was in Lee
banon this afternoon. Your reporter
conversed with him, and was shown a
long letter written by Miss Carrie to
her brother, since dinner time, describ-
ing infinitely the whole affair. This
young lady would have made a good
Amazonian warrior. No effort will be
spared to bring the daring rascal, who
has perpetrated this outrage, to even
severer justice than he has already re-
ceived.-LeHanos (Ohso) Special 10
