FRUITS or ADvERTIsISG.-A prominent
business FIRM in one OF our leading cities,
who have grown rich by literally patroniZ-
ing the printer, gives to their feIlow-mer-
chants the following concerning advertls-
ing:
':We have for many years studied the art
of advertising and still il remains marVei
to Us that there is not a hundred times more
oft. We never yet knew a man to adver-
tise his wares literally and steadily that 1t
did DO, pay Yet there are thousands OF
manufacturers and tens of thousands ofmen,
having articles which they declare ought to
be in every household in the country, VINO
advertise as gingcrly and closely as though
they had at Acart no faith in it at all. How
can they expect 10 get their goods anywhere
unless some knowledge of the article first
gets into the family newspaper? Ii wait
ed till people learned from their neignoofs,
we might wait for years before the most
wonderful and useful invention became
known"

bled but Theodore comforted her by
telling her not to be frightened, for he
was there with her"
What S goin' to hurt us here ~ he
shouted, proudly, amid the tumult of
sound. 81 like to be out i'll the rain"
81 like to get wet, too" Arminda
answered, weakly. 1t makes my
skeeter-bites feel good"
Morning came at last, but still the
tempest ragged. Theodore looked rue
fully about him when he arose, and re-
sorted Immediately for comfort to the
pail Of berries he had wisely sheltered.
81 m getting sick of this" he remark
ed to Arminda. We must get home
to-day"
But alas for such hopes! The whole
day was spent in patient but fruitless
plodding over the wet leaves, with the
rain still falling, and that night they
had to seek their rest upon huge,
sloping stone under the projecting
boughs of q thick-leaved tree-the
driest bed they could find.
On the next day, however, they
came upon brook and began to follow
it as Theodore had planned, and made
what progress they conld. They kept
along the bank of the brook, until, ir
the afternoon of Friday, they reached
as we have seen, the edge of larger
stream.

THE PRIMARY SCHOoL.-A recent
article in the North american Review
shows the great Importance of the pri-
mary schools. "Out of 100 boys and
girls" it says, "who go to the primary
schools only about fifty 60 any further
up the educational grade. About
thirty advance as far as the grammar
schools, while not more than three of
the original 100 who began at the
bottom of the ladder ever reach the
top and enter the high schools. The
important fact which these statistics
demonstrate is that about one-half the
children who go to the public schools
of New York enter upon their lifework
with no more education than they can
pick up at the primary establishments
while of the remaining half, 25 pei
cent. leave school when, or perhaps be-
fore, they have gone through the sec
ondary course. The moral of these
facts is so plain that there can be NJ
disputing it. Since twice as many
pupils attend the primary schools as &C
to any other department, and abou
One-half of them go nowhere else, the
primary schools deserve and demand
the largest share of attention, and theil
efficiency should be raised to the high
est attainable standard of excellence
though it should be necessary in orde
to accomplish that result, to curtai
some of the expenses of the other anC
higher branches.

SEPTEMBER IN THE WOODS,

How rich the embroidered carpet spread,
On either side the common way;
Azure and purple, gold and red,
RuSset and white, and green and gray,
With shades between,
Woven with light in looms unseen.
A wrinkled ribbon seems the road,
UnspOOled from silent hills affair;
Rest, like an angel, lifts the load
And i'll my path lets down the bar.
And here it brings
lease Of life on healing wings.
The summer leisure of the cloud
That wanders with its trumpeter,
The wind, is mine; no wrangling crowd
AnnoyS the humble wOrshipper
In the white tent.
Beneath listening armament
DUPLICATING on the ambient air,
Sweet songs of sacred music rise,
And now Il voice distinct in prayer,
Like the larks hymn reaches the skies
And the " Amen"
Is echoed from the hills and glen.
The wood vast cathedral seems,
Its dOmes the Overarching sky;
The light through trembling branches streams
From open windows lifted high,
Under the frs
Soft shadows shield the woshipperS.

especially true in the rural districts
where the tax is looked upon as mod
crate and just He finds the people
much interested in the liquor question
and attentive to any discussions of it.

prominent issue throughout the can
Vass.

SwINTON's Observation-Disclosures
Swinton, well known as the war cor
respondent of the NeU York Times, and
more recently as a writer of school
textbooks, is about to begin the publi-
cation of Weekly, to be called St0iT-
toms Story Teller, and consisting ex-
clusively of choicest complete tales
from four to six in each issue. He has
already enlisted the pens of many of
the star story-writers of the United
States and England. We think Mr..
Swinton right in believing that there is
keenly and widely-felt appetite for
first-class short stories, and, if he works
up to his ideal, he should achieve o
flattering success.
