The Art OF Advertising.

The art of advertising is one that re-
quires study and exercise of Judgment to
make it a success, and the following hints
from the New Haven Register may be
read with profit:
II yOu have goods to sell, advertise.
Hire a man with lampblack kettle
and brush to paint your name. and
number on all the railroad fences. The
cars go whiZzing by so fast that no one
can read them, to be sure, but perhaps
the obiging conductor would stop the
train to accommodate an inquisitive pas
senger.
Remember the fences by the roadside
as we'll. Nothing is so attractive to the
passer-by as well painted sign: 'Mil-
lington's Medical Mixture for Mumps." 3"
Have your card in the hotel register
by all means. Strangers stopping ut ho-
tells for night generally buy cigar or
two before they leave town, and they
need some inspiriting literary food be-
sides.
If an advertising agent wants your
business advertised in a fancy frame at
the depot, pay him about two hundred
per cent. more than it is worth, and let
him put it there. When a man has three
quarters of a second in which to catch a
train, he invariably stops to read railroad
advertisements, and your card might take
his eye.
Print in the blackest ink a great
sprawling card on your wrapping paper.
Ladies returning from Il shopping tour
like to be walking bulletins, and if the
ink rubbs off and spoils finery, no
matter. They viii never stop at your
store again.
Have thousands of little dodgers
printed and hire few boys to distribute
them. You've no idea how the junk
dealer and paper rag men will respect
you.
A boy with big placard on a pole is
an interesting object on the street, and
lends dignitied air to your establish
ment. Hire about two.
Advertise on calendar. People never
look at calendar to see what day of the
month it is. They merely glance hur.
riedly at it SO as to be sure that your
name is spelled with or without a p,
that's all.
When the breezes blow, waited by
paper fan in the hand of lovely woman,
It's well to have the air redolent with the
perfume of the carmine ink in which
your business address is printed. This
will make market for decent fans very
good.
Patronize every agent that shows you
an advertising bible If one is offered at a
reasonable price. The man must make
living.
But don't thiuk of advertising in we'll
established, legitimate newspaper. Not
for a moment. Your advertisement
would be nicely printed and would find
its way into all the thrifty households of
the region, of the farmer, the mechanic,
the tradesman in other lines, and into
the families of the wealthy and refined,
ali who have articles to buy and money
with which to buy them and in the
quiet of the evening, after the news of
the day had been digested, it would be
read and pondered, and next day people
would come to your store and patronize
you, and you might have to hire an ex
ira clerk or two, move into a larger
block and more favorable location, and
do bigger business, but of course it
would be more expensive-and bring
greater profits.

century to man is Ammen's Cough Syrup.
A wealthy gentleman, who claims that it
entirely cured HIM of incipient consump-
tion, offered 5000 for the formula and
the right to manufacture and sell to the
world, which was refused. The Remedy
stands upon its own merits. A l5-cent
sample bottle will convince the most
skeptical of its virtues. Try it. 1t may
save your life. ALI respectable druggists

A Roaring Camp.

The Homer Index man writes to friend
in Virginia City in the following strain re.
garding that roaring camp:
This will be the boss camp in the
spr.ng. There is more gold here than on
Jackass Hill lin old Calaveras) In fact
as We climb the hill on snow shoes we
can hear the gold below bowling for
quicksilver. We expect a population of
10000 next summer, and as the canyon
is narrow, a company is being organized
to set the mountains back and widen the
town site. The wind here is holy ter
ror to people who were raised in a dead
calm. A puff will turn dog inside out,
and several stage companies have been
busted by trying to keep paint on their
wagons. l lived in solid log cabin
built against q granite ledge, and yet the
wind is so strong that our habitation
danced Jig every time gust came
down the canyon, and now we have been
blown across several lots, and our house
threatens to trot down into the lake. A
man who comes here wants claws like a
layDird and abOnt one hundred tons of
old iron in the seat of his breeches, else
he leaves his camp schooner rugged.
However, this is really a place of
promise. We have no Comstocks, but
we've got a network of rich five foot
strings.

Because we once drove together
In the moonlight over the snow,
With the sharp bells ringing their tinRliug
chime,
So many year ago.
So. now. as hear them jingle
The winter comes back again,
Though summer stirs IA the heavy trees,
And the wild rose scents the lane
We gather our furs around US,
Our faces the keen air stng-,
And noiselessly We lily DER the snow-hushed
world
Almost as il we had wings.
Enough is the Joy of mere living,
Enoul h is the blOod's quick thrill;
We are simply happy-i care not why
We are happy beyond our will.
The trees are with iciclcs jeweled,
The walls are Oer-surted with snow;
The houses with marble Whteness are rooted
In their windows the home-hghts glow.
Through the tense, clear sky above us
The keen stars flash and CLEAN,
And wrapped in their silent shroud OF snow
The broad fields lie and dream.
And jingling with low, sweet clashing,
Ring the bells as our good horse goes,
His frosty breath he blows
And closely YOU nestle against me,
While around you waist my arm
l have slipped-t is so bitter, bitter cold
1t is only to keep us warm
We talk, ,'and then we are silent;
And suddenly-you know why
stoOped-could l help it?-You lifted youi
face
We kissed-there was nobody nigh.
And no one was ever the wiser,
And no one was ever the worse;
The skies did not fall--as perhaps they ought
And we heard no patenral curse.
never told it-did you, dear?
From that day unto this;
But my memory keeps IN its utmost recess,
Like perfume, that innocent kiss.
dare say you have forgotten,
T was SO many years ago;
Or you may not choose to remember 1t,
Time may have have changed you so.
The world so ebills us and kills us.
Perhaps yO:: may scorn to recall
That night Sith its innocent impulse
Perhaps you'll deny it all.
But if of tnat fresh, sweet nature

Yon remember that moments madness
You remember that moonlight drive.
