ADVERTISING.

An intelligent knowledge of adver
Using, and Of that which pertains tc
it, is essential to the success of a
well-regulated store.
One may have the only store in
town; the mercury of local competi-
ton may be frozen out of sight In
the business barometer, but every
mail brings in pamphlets and circu
lars from outside houses, which, with
the express as an accomplice, perme-
ate the trade atmosphere of the
town.
The man who has the only store of
its kind in town needs to advertise
to let the people know that there is
such store in existence.
There is not, and cannot be, a
trade so permanent and full, and so
we'll protected, that it cannot be
scorched by the fire of competition.
The man who is so settled in bust
ness that his business cannot in
crease had better settle in another
world.
Advertising not only brings trade;
it directs trade; it creates trade.
Half of the customers in any COM
munity do not know all they want
until somebody tells them.
You have something to sell; there
is somebody who needs it; connect
that something with that somebody
and there is probability of a trade;
and the world over, the experience
OF every man who has made sue
cess in any line of business or trade
proves beyond a doubt that adver-
Using is the only medium which will
bring a prospective buyer to the
store when everything else fails to
get him there.
While there are hundreds of meth
DDS of advertising there is no method
of advertising which can take the
place of the legitimate advertise
ment in the legitimate newspaper.
All other methods to be of any par
ticular good must be supplementary
to newspaper advertising.
The merchant should always ad-
vertise in the local paper. At GER
tain seasons of the year column is
not too much space, but the average
merchant can afford to run an adver-
tisement of from quarter to half
a column In each issue of every re-
spectacle paper printed within his
territory.-Exchange.

rumbling meanwhile increasing in in
tensity and flames being shot up 20 feet
into the air. almost enveloping the
mountain sides with smoke and fire.
This continued for about ten minutes,
the terrified inhabitants expecting every
moment that the catastrophe of the
Temmei era was to be repeated. About
4 O'Clock, however, their fears were re-
lieved by the cessation of the rumbling
noise. Smoke continued to pour out of
the mouth of the crater and several times
it became so thick and threatening that
the villagers at Karuizawa packed up
their furniture and belongings ready for
leaving the place.

Volcanic Disturbances in Japan.

The inhabitants of Kumamoto-ken,
and perhaps with good cause too, says
the Japan Gazette, are becoming alarmed
by the number and severity of the earth
quakes in the Ken, believing they are
the forerunners OF another terrible up
heaval. Between the 14th and 10th of
December quite number were expert
enced, and on one of the days there were
no less than II or Is shocks. The peo-
pie in Akita-gun are also alarmed, as it
is feared the shocks are preliminary to
an eruption of Mount Aso.

currence, says the Japan Gazette. 1t
appears that about o'clock in the MORN
ing the mountain began to rumble with
the noise of 100 bursts of thunder, as a
native paper metaphorically puts it.
The inhabitants OF the villages at the
