The Hebrews cried their wares on the
streets Of ancient Jerusalem. The Greeks, in
obedience to the oratorical instinct, employed
musicians to give the pitch to the criers who
announced the gladitor1al games and public
festivals. In France, in the Twelfth century,
,criers were national institution. They So
licited patronage for the merchants, pro-
claimed royal DEGREES, in short, all matters
except that which perteined to the ecclesiasti-
cal. The greatest rivalry existed between
the criers employed by the various wine
houses The wine criers carried wooden COB
lets through the streets soliciting the people
to taste of the vintage. Their songs crept
into the ballads Of the period and are now a
part of the national poetry of France. A
quaint and pathetic story, which toreshadows
the modern Salvationist, is found among the
chronicles relating to this system of advertis-
ing An old woman, named Adelheid, desired
to proclaim the Word of God, but not having
lungs sufficiently powerful, she paid a wine
crier to go about the town, and instead of
crying the prices of wine, to proclaim: God
is righteousl God is merciful God is good
and excellent" AS the man went about
shouting these words she followed him, eX-
claiming: ''He speaks well! He says truly"
The poor old creature failed in her piouS
desire. 1t was thought vanity prompted
her action. She was arrested, tried and sub
sequently burned alive Although the crier
has long since fallen from his high estate, he
thrives to some purpose in many modern
countries. In England and America the auc-
tioneer preserves many of the salient charac-
teristics Of this ancient progenitor.
With the invention of writing, wax tablets
bills and signboards We're introduced. The
Greeks and Romans wrote on tablets on their
walls as POmpeiian and Herculanean excava-
tons disclose. These advertisements are the
historians best clewto the daily lives of the
inhabitants of these lost cities In most adj
vertisements we approach Cowper's idea of
seeing life, through tho loopholes of re-
treat" SO faithfully do they reflect the man
ners and customs of a people. On the outer
walls of the Roman houses were whitened
spaces for the inscription of their affairs.
They were solicitous that their bills and sign
boards should be placed where they would
attract most attention. Their favorite place
was the amphitheatre or the baths where the
people were won't to tarry Through the old
poets and dramatists we learn of advertise
ments. Pliny tells of poets hiring houses in
which they built oratories and publicly read
their manuscripts or dispersed prospectuses
of their works.
The printing press, and its offspring the
newspaper, gave immense impetus to adver-
tising To France Is accredited the honor OF
first attaining a regular and consecutive
business of newspaper advertising. The
Journal des Petites Affaires-a journal de-
voted to the domestic wants of France-en-
joys two and a half centuries of uninter-
rupted prosperity. The newspaper, as a news
or advertising medium, made slow progress
IN England. The civil wars of 1872 created
desire for news which met much opposition

Her club topsail, too, is very large one,

who have seen the sloop Katrina will at once
see striking resemblance in the hulls Of
these yachts above the water line and with
the exception of the long topmast on the Val
kyrie, there is much similarity in their sail
plans Under water we know nothing of the
ValkyTie beyond hearsay, but it is under
stood that she is an improved Thistle-that is
to say, Watson has not cut her forefoot away
so much as the big cutters, and he has given
her midship section more like the Volun-
teer's.
To be more certain of her doing good work
to windward Watson has fitted the Valkyrie
with a centerboard, which Lord Dunraven
says will not be used unless absolutely neces-
sary. Yachtsmen here say that unless she
beats the Trek more than she has of late, she
will need the centerboard over here in every
race.
This table of dimensions, which are very
nearly accurate in the case of the Valkyrie,
will prove interesting for compar ison:

Houghton, the father of English advertising,
who flourished in the latter part OF the
Seventeenth century, endeavored to impress
upon his countrymen. With untiring perse-
verance he trained his contemporaries In the

The introduction Of the daily paper in 1703,
The Tattler Q709 and The Spectator Q71D
gave immense stimulus to advertising. In
the folios of the latter classics are preserved
advertisements rich in the wit or humor Of
Steele or Addison. These famous men of let
tiers were wont to advertise for subjects on
which to vent their wit Witness the fol-
lowing from The Tattler: "Any ladies who
have any particular stories Of their acquaint-
ances which they are willing privately to
make public, may send them by penny post
to Isaac Bicher Staff, Esq, inclosed to MIR.
John Murphew, near Stationers hall" What
an outlet for the lover of scandal We fancy
we hear the laughter of that rake among
scholars, and scholar among rakes," as he
pored over the replies each rival brought to
The Tattler sanctum! Steele found in them
the groundwork of many Of his cleverest
satires.
The theory of advertising now began to
elicit essays and letters-some humorous,
others pathetic.
Fifty years later DR.. johnson tells us that
advertisements are so numerous that they
are very negligently perused, and it is there
fore become necessary to gain attention by
magnifcence of promise, and by eloquence
sometimes sublime and sometimes tic.
Promise, large promise is the soul OF an adj
vertisement."
With the introduction of the advertising
tax in Queen Anne's reign advertisers began
to drop off, but having once learned the value
of repeated solicitations of the public through
the press. they soon returned. After the as
cent OF George III to the throne, the English
may be said to have completed their educa-
ton in advertising Henceforth they meet
their most formidable rival in this, as in
many other enterprises, in the ingenious, ex-
pansive, alert American.
Early emigrants brought to the New
World the advertising methods of their re-
spective countries. The first American news
paper was established in Boston in 1704 Co
lonial merchants were not slow to seek the
press as a medium Of trade. An English
paper, speaking in 1895 of the transatlantic
journalism of the time, says: 'As one proof
of the commerce and trade of America there
are four daily papers printed In the city Of
New York, and it is not uncommon to emu
merate $50 advertisements Ia single paper"

Mast Too honest

at police headquarters and asked to see the
superintendent. and as that official was out
he said he would call again. He returned in
the evening, but too late, and as he would
not state his business to any one else, he was
told TO come next forenoon. He did ccme,
but the superintendent was very busy, end he
finally entered the captains prIvaee room,
took a small package from his pocket and
said:
Captain, this does not belong co me and
have no right to keep II"
The captain opened the paper, and 10! a sill
