Advertising.

The object of an advertisement is to bring
suppose that this was self-evident propo-
sition that only needed to be stated to have
its truth perceived. Yet, if we look upon
the conduct of business men generally we
seasons when merchants are doing little the
time to advertise presents stself. BIT bnsl-
ness men generally at such seasons diseon-
tinue the advertisements they have and say,
: we shall advertise 10 the busy season whe:i
mess rsvives. There is nothing doiu,
now, so we cant afford it, When the busy
season comes and they are doing all the bns-
mess their facilisiss permit them to do t'.'y
advertise. At such time advertising d
them no special goo Bnt they seek ITO
printer at s.ich seasons asht no other.
The sole object Of an advertisement is 10
solicit business. Purchasers can be attract
ed, woed, won. Men are at all times will
Ing to buy, but there are occasions WIN
they must be tempse,l to ~ So. These d, .
the times when business is dull. The vi 3
! IN afciiant ut sach seasons does not dis.,nt-
tinue his advertising the contrary, is
creases it. He devises new methods .sf
doing so-and reaps the reward accordin,-
iy. There are few houses In this ci.Y v
hat act on this rule, anil the consequence
is that they never know what dull timss
are. They are al ways crowded-alw:s j
busy. There are other houses who a6ycr-
tise only when during these rare seasons
when business is naturally brisk. The coa-
sequence is they practically throw away
their money. All the rsst of the year they
move along in slow, hun-drum style. Es

Thoroughbred STOCK

Major James Bruce and G. B. Smith re-
ceived last Saturday "a car containing
twenty head of the thoroughbred Angus
cattle, consisting of one, two and three year
olds, male and female. They came over the
Northern Pacific Railroad from Indianapo-
lis, Indiana, in good condition. Three of
largest three-year-olds were weighed and
tipped the beam at 1880, 1920 and 1898
pounds respectively. They are pronounced
by stock men the best breed of cattle for
beef in the state. and their importation will
no doubt prove,a profitable investment to
their owners.

A GREAT, GOOD NAN.

The New York Chamber OF Commerce
has honored itself in honoring the mem.
ory Of its President for eight successive
years, by the erection of a statue of him
in a conspicuous public place. For years
William E. Dodge was the typical New
York merchant. Beginning life as the
boy in a store, where he was expected to
make himself generally useful, he did
everything that he undertook 80 thor
oughly and conscientiously, that he Won
the good will OF all whom he served, and
rose by degrees to the head of one Of the
largest firms in the city.
Sound and shrewd in his business
methods, nc man was more generous in
the use of his hardly acquired wealth.;
and he displayed in his benefactions the
same good judgment and far-sightedness
that characterized his business transac.
tions. As DIR. Hitchcock, of that city,
said on the 23d ultimo at the unwilling OF
the monument erected to the memory
of the philanthropist: "No poor mans
curse pursued this wealthy merchant.
No one ever questioned his entire unset
fshness. His list of charities was long,
of great variety, and wide geographical
distribution. Institutions of learning in
both ~hemispheres count him among their
benefactors, and 300 ministers owe to him
wholly or in part the means for obtaining
their education"
While the President Of Union Semi.
nary could bear testimony to what
he did for young men about to enter the
ministry, SO a Southerner, Senator Col.
quit, of Georgia, could bear personal
testimony to Mr.. Dodge's love and bene.
ficence toward the emancipated colored
man, and his spirit of reconciliation with
o conquered South.
Another side of his character was
painted by Mr.. Hewitt. who spoke of his
great services az a hacker of the Union
cause during the war, as Chairman of the
Now York branch Of the Christian Com.
mission, as Representative in Congress
and President of the Chamber Of Com.
merce. Never was a truer application Of
the words of Scripture than that made
by Mr.. Babcock at the unwilling cere.
monies when he said: "If l were asked
to select his epitaph l would adopt as
most appropriate the words of the great
Apostle: Distributing to the necessity
of saints; given to hospitality; not sloth.
full in business; fervent in spirit, serving
the Lord"
The memory of such a man is an in.
spiration. 1t ought to be perpetuated in
every way possible; and the fine bronze
statue that now stands at the junction OF
Broadway and Sixth avenue, New York
City, will be a reminder to generations
to come OF q man whose character is an
honor to the city in which he lived, and
this country that owned him for a citizen.

IF RIEL Is REALLY HANGED.

HI Rh6Al Az RE<ANAA IA
Although Riel has but little hope that
his sentence will be committed, and the
half.breeds generally expect that he will
be hanged, there is still a suspicion in
the minds of disinterested observers that
he will not be escorted to the gallows on
the day appointed for his execution. Sir
John A. Macdonald has virtually admit.
ted in Parliament that the half-breeds
had serious grievances to provoke the
revolt led by Riel, and it is known that
to hang the hall. breed would ALLEVIATE
from him much of his support among
French Canadians, if not occasion alarm.
ing discord throughout the Dominion.
In a total population of 5.93S, 93S the
English are the minority. the French and
Irish making q majority without the
alf.breeds and Indians, so that to ex.
cite the animosity of those whom Riel
represents may result disastrously. Riel
in himself is of little account, but he
stands for q great deal. If he is hanged,
Canada should not only put her army in
condition for prompt action, but also ap.
ply vigorous measures for the removal Of
the grievances of the half.breeds. After
the revolt led by Riel in 1869 the half.
breeds of Manitoba each received about
240 acres of land, and had all the de.
scendants of the Hudson Bay Company
and their Indian wives Jared as we'll, the
outbreak of 1885 would not have &C.
Cured. Surely the Dominion has land
enough to give. not only to the half.
breeds but also the Indians, each a farm.

name of an animal, but denotes the male

quently not " hidden" and few others
The largest number of allowable
names is sent by John H. Whitney,

Driving without Hands.

A new method of driving horses by
means of the feet, so as to keep the
hands warm in cold, stormy weather,
has been introduced recently. The
method can be used either with or with
out the ordinary plan of Handwriting,
the latter being resorted to in genial
weather, if preferred. The feet rest on
a firm board, and the horse is guided by
raising or lowering the toes, thus bear
ing on one or the other rein by means of
straps in connection with them, which
pass over the pulley mounted on the
front board of the vehicle. The
drivers hands are quite free and
may be inserted in the pockets of his
great-coat. The apparatus can be at
tached to any vehicle in very few
minutes and can be used by very
young person. When the driver leaves
the vehicle there is gentle bearing on
the horses mouth, which tends to keep
him quiet.-Cosselps Family Magazine.
