When Women Should Marry

It has always been standing pro-
blem in social mathematics at what
age a girl should get married. The
afternoon teas of many generations
have heard it discussed by matrons
who married at all ages and by maids
who have been able to wed at none.
In the encyclopedia of social ethics
it remains unsolved, but of late
science has stepped in to settle the
question with statistics.
The best time for a woman to
marry, say such medical publications
as the Hospital, is between "a and 36
years of age. Very early marriages
are seldom desirable for girls, and
that for many reasons. The brain is
immature, the reason is feeble and
the character is uniformed. The con-
siderations which would prompt a
girl to marry at II would, in many
cases, have very little weight with
her at "a. At II she is child, at "a
a woman. Where girl has intelli-
gent parents the seven years between
II and "a are the period when both

wise discipline and best repay the
thought and toll devoted to their de
velopment.
This may be scientifically correct
and all that, but we have theory OF
our own about this matter We think
it is a good deal like what Webster
said of eloquence. ut depends upon
the man, the subject and the occa.
sion." In other words each indi-
vidual case furnishes its own rule.
j. G.. Holland puts it about right
in his "Boy Path:" ''There comes a
time," he writes, sin each malden's
life, where she stops and looks
around for a mate. Some women
stand there for years. Others marry
and soon surprise their friends with
the wealth of wifely and womanly
qualities their satisfied natures I'M
fold" The time for girls to marry
remains yet untixed by any scientift
rule. They will continue as before
to marry when they can.-[S. F. Elk

The editor of the Oiaio processes
to have discovered the remains of the
Punchbowl road at the bottom of the
harbor, and evidently sees in the
whole thing the scheme of an unholy
Government to rob the country of
it's real estate. This is a mistake.
however The Punchbowl road is
still in place, and what the Oiaio has
discovered is only its own campaign
mud that has been washed off by the
recent rains. Moreover, it is not
suitable for building up the site of
the new fish market. Fish are deli
cate material and need to be kept in
a better atmosphere than that of the

ADVERTISING.

Brevity is the soul of advertising.
Do not write the advertisement to
suit yourself: write it to suit and at
tract your customer.
Say the most possible in the fewest
words.
AS far as possible advertise one ar
ticle at time.
A half column can be used to ad-
vantage in advertising an invoice of
prunes, or a new shipment of flour,
or a fresh lot of goods, or anything
else which is generally used by
everybody.
The advertising of one article at
time attracts the special attention OF
the people just then in want of that
article, and such advertising is very
likely to bring in people who have
not been your customers.
Do not have your firm name occu-
py more than half inch of space,
and do not have your name appear
at the top of the column. The peo-
pie care very little about you; they
care a great deal about what you
sell.
Good goods at fair prices, atten-
ton being called toward the quality
of these goods more than to the
price, will do more good in any mar
ket than long winded harangue on
less than cost, and that sort OF non
sense.
Circulars are a good thing and can

special announcements but column
advertisement in a newspaper is
worth more than two or three acres
of circulars.
Printed matter should be brief.
There are few lines of business the
details and volume of which can be
concentrated into the space of a bill
head, a business card, or circular.
Advertisements are sometimes
studied, but the majority of them
are glanced at, and the glance is
what the business man is after.
If his advertisement be so brief
and so pointed that glance will alb
sorb the whole of it, or absorb
enough of it to make the reader re-

one glance or two glances can ex

vertisement, which is nothing more
or less than a story of the wheat il

The market for whale oil was firm dur
ing the year, but the demand very mod
crate The total sales reached only $3.50
barrels, over One-half OF which was sold
in July at 35 "a SO cents, mostly Northern
oil, which may be said to have been
about the ruling price for the year. For
the remaining stock held here, 1850 bar
rels of Nothern, As cents is demanded.
Sales were reported in San Francisco,
on the arrival of the Arctic fleet, at 25
"a So cents, the market closing at 80
cents offered About all the catch of
the Eastern vessels in the North Pacific
the past season was sold in San Fran
cisco, except the Alaska's catch, which
has been sent East via Cape Horn, and
400 barrels will come via Panama.
Whalebone ruled at quite high prices
throughout the year. 1t opened at So %,
advanced to S. 40 in February and to
So so in June, but re acted to So 40 in
July, continuing steady until September,
when sales were made during that and
the following month at reduced prices
for new bone, say So 90 q So 25. 1t then
remained steady until the result OF the
Arctic season was known, in November,
to be failure, when the price rose to
81 90 "a 81 %, and advanced to 81 so in
December, at which it was firmly held.
The above quotations OF price refer to
Arctic bone, the greater portion of the
import being that kind. Japan, OchOtsk,
and South Sea were sold at correspond
ing good prices, the closing price of the
two former being So 70.
An importer of Dundee, Scotland,
holds all the stock of whalebone, about
II tons, on that side of the water, which
is firmly held by him at e2500 per ton.
equivalent to 50 90 per pound. 1t is
understood that the stock of II tons
held in the public warehouses in Lon
don belongs to cutters.
Refined spermaceti sold at % cents at
the commencement of the year, advan.
cling to % cents in March, and con-
tinued steady until June, when sales
were made at % cents. The market was
then quite dull until August, when the
price dropped to 10 cents, and to 1874
cents in September, the lowest price for
the year. In October it advanced to
1894 a 20 cents, and in November to q
cents, continuing steady to the close,

made of whalebone, SO much depending

an illegal one, the machinery of the
criminal law stands open to him and
he can set it in motion, as Mr.. kaul-

he may select will certainly be per-

no one, we believe, will charge him
with malice and bad faith if he en-
ploys, as he naturally would, an at

Whether this is done, will not de-

THE PAIKULI PROSECUTION,

The structures of the Bulletin on
our commentary on the prosecution
of the Rev. MIR. Paikuli simply show
how impossible it is to say or do any
thing to escape the censure of a
journal which has made up it's mind
in advance to criticize and condemn.
The ADVERTISERS remarks on the
prosecution in question were, we
think, such as any unprecedented on
locker would pronounce moderate
and non-partisan in the extreme.
The Bulletin had doubtless expected,
perhaps for unknown reasons of its
own, some partisan comment on our
part. Failing to find any such, it is
reduced to calling the ADVERTISER
the 'organ," and to reading sense
into our words utterly foreign to
them. There was no thinly dis
guised exultation in our observa-
tions, nor anything in them either
express or implied, which discreet
and welldisposed critic could con-
strue as exultation.
The Bulletin is utterly at sea with
regard to the character of the Pal
kuli prosecution. 1t was not a Gov
eminent measure in any sense. 1t
was something in which the Minis
try had no concern and no hand
The Bulletin is doubtless aware that
the machinery of the criminal law
can be set in motion by private par.
ties, as we'll as that of the civil law
and that in every such case, the at
torney engaged by parties desiring E
prosecution is habitually allowed te

constantly being retained, to assist
