Attractive Advertising.

Nothing can be truer than the fact
that the most successful merchants are
those who advertise to the best advan-
tage. It is not always tae man who
spcnds the most money in advertising
that secures the greatest returns, but nc
who, having an article that people want,
makes the fact knownt to them in busl-
ness like way. 1t is conceded.by men who
have made the deepest study Of adver-
tising that the most direct and effectual
way of reaching the public is through
the press. An advertisement inserted IN
a periodical paper, be it daily, weekly,
monthly or scmi-annual, isseen and read
by more people than in all the thousand
and one other forms of advertising COM
bined. 1t is then of the utmost import
ance that the display lines in paper be
made as pleasing and attractive as posi-
Bile, and that there should be some de-
gree of harmony between the article Of.
fered for sale and the type used to call
attention to it. In no country through
out the world do publishers 60 to the
same trouble and expense in making
their advertising pages attractive as they
do in the United States, where every line
of type or every illustration that can
catch the public eye is freely used. In
England the advertising pages of the
daily papers are as bare of artistic effect
as the white paper they are printed on.

India's Military Strength.

The strength of India in war time is at
present subject of much interest and
attention. There are now in the Indian
peninsula about go, 900 British and 140,-
600 native troops. These comprise the
usual standing army. But in addition
to these forces the Maharajahs or native
princes maintain largo armies that could
be made available in an emergency. Ihe
three great Mahratta states Of Gwallor,
Indore and Baroda can turn out $4,000
infantry and cavalry and 118 guns. At
least one.half of this force of 60, 900 men
could easily be spared for q war with
Russia. Then there are ninety three
Hindoo States possessing 1884, in
fantry and cavalry and 5000 guns, one
half of which would be Immediately
available. ,
The state of Cashmere alone has ~, 00O
troops and 100 guns, while the twenty
two Mohammedan states, possessing
"A, 700 troops and ss5 guns, would nc
doubt be largely utilized against Rus
sion aggression. Then there arg
8, U4S European volunteers ~ uS".'
1,1OO in the Panjaub, $500 in Bombay,
and i $40 in Madras, who would relieve
the British garrisons of considerable
portion of their duty, so that the greater
portion of them could be spared for the
frontier. The Afghans have IN army OF
60. 900 which, in the event of war, it Is
said, could be raised to 200, 900. Taking
all togethcr-thc Afghaus 200, 600, Cash
mere $1,000, the Slahratta States $1,000,
the Hindoo States 10000, the Moham'
medan States 100000, and the British
troops so, 900 out of the standing army,
we have q grand total of 437,Oo Il
Nepant joined there would be probably
80, 600 more, bringing up total Of
4S7, 900 men. These troops could be
thrown on the Afghan frontier from the
furthest point Of India in little more

Nests Of the Bower Birds.

In an article on ssBird Architecture,
a writer in the New York Ecening Post
says: The bower birds are, perhaps,
more remarkable than any other, in the
exercise of purely abstract taste. If we
NAV so express it. The beautiful Regent
bird in the museum collection represents
this group, and the "NIuseum Popular
Guide to Birds" has picture of the
"bower" and "garden" that these birds
construct. One species pulls down tall
grasses in q spot selected for the pur-
pose, and forms kind of tunnel by Sc
curing the ends to the earth, or to roots
of other grasses. Here the birds deposit
bits of bone, shells, and any bright OBJ.
iects which they can carry. Heaps OF
these objects, amounting in bulk TO half
busl.el, are known to be collected in
one bower. All this is wholly inde-
pendent of their breeding places. Their
nests are built at some other place. The
garden bird, one of this group, con-
structs such o wonderful work that no
one would be expected to credit it were
it not vouched for by competent and
trustworthy observers. The lamented DR..
Brewer, the distinguished ornithologist,
saws: "Their achievements would we'll de-
serve to be treated as improbable fabrics
were not their correctness attested ny
the evidence of many witnesses whose
vcracity is beyond suspicion, and did not
museums not only contain examples OF
these architectural achievements, but
also large accumulations of the co!ored
leaves and flowers, the bright feathers,
the polished agates and jaspers, cookie
shells, brilliant red and blue feathers,
colored seed pods, bleachcd bones OF
small animals, etc., that accompany
them" Mr.. Gould, author Of .'Birds in
Australia" and other works, has G iven
valuable information concerning these
remarkable birds and their works, from
personal observation. DR.. Brewer says:
t'To remove all doubt, and to silence all
possible incrcdulity,it may be added that
birds of this species-the satin bower
birds-confncd in the geological gardens
in London, have been actually known to
construct their bowers, to decorate them,
and to keep them in repair for several
wears. Both sexes were observed to as
sist in their erection, but the male was
the principal worker"
