Adam Forepaugh, the millionaire
Snowman, died last Wednesday night,
at his residence in the city of Philadel-
phia, of pneumonia, superinduced by
grippe. Mr. FOrepaugh was originally
butcher but many years ago he en-
barked in the circus and menagerie
of more than Sl.000000. He was 68

| the place and is completing arrange

Advertising is now not matter of
choice but of absolute necessity, as
much as to have store, office or other
wise to keep before the public. 1t is an
unexpected but natural fact that rates
of advertising advance as the circula-
tion of a paper increases. The increase
of circulation, if large one, and also
the degree of reliability and respecta-
bility of the news published, the intelli-
gent advertiser observes and acts ac-
cordingly, and does not waste his large
shot on small birds.
Edison. it is said, has a new novelty
on which he is working-a clock to
talk the time. Instead of blank
sound it will say "one," "two," ETC., at
the proper hours. For an alarm it will
say, in so many words, "Get up!' in a
stentorian and commanding voice. If
the person thus ordered does not get up
what then? If the clock can say
Get up" it ought be able to use much
stronger language. If that fails TO
rouse the sleeper, a combined claw and
BOgardus-kicker attachment ought to
be perfected that could be depended on
to "turn the rascals out in short order.
Bro. Sutton, OF the Richmond Review,
will now appear in new role. He has
recently received a brand new title,
which carries in its significance a
sweetly pleasurable satisfaction, yet
which sometimes is tinged with shad-
| ing of painful inconvenience. The
new title in papa" The grantor a
II pound boy. The pleasurable feature
of the matter is easily conprehended.
The painful Inconvenience he will fully
appreciate when in negligee costume,
with the thermometer frolicking
around zero, he PAGES up and down the
floor with his colicky prosterity in his
fond embrace.
Work on the tunnel is making steady
and satisfactory progress, at an average
at each end of about six feet per day.
At the Sarnia end, five hundred and fifty
''rings" or sections of the iron lining
are now in place, and as the sections are
| eighteen inches each, short calculation
will show the length of completed tun-
mel over eight hundred feet from the

struck which it took two days to pass
through, when clay was struck again,
which still continues. Large boulders
are now quite frequently m ct with, and
one huge rock encountered last week
was so large that it was with a good
deal of difficulty that it was passed out
through the opening in the shield for
removal.
Every woman in America ought to

February, to know how happy her lot
