Some 'Business suggestions

Does your business pay? Could you not make it pay better by doing some advertising in a judicious way?
 Some business men are always on the lookout for new customer and contriv- ing ways to please and meet the wants of old ones. The best and cheapest method to get new customers is by ad- vertls1ng in an enterprising newspaper.
 Advertising doesn't sell any mans goods, it only lets the people, the pur- chasers, know where to find them. The newspaper that is read by the most peo- pie is the one in which to advertise.
 There is great deal in writing an at tractive advertisement. Do YOU give your ads. your best attention?
 f you expect to do large business on the fact that you know so many people, you will get left. The ones you don't know are greatly in the majority. How are you to reach them in the most favor able manner at the least expense? By placing an attractive advertisement in the newspaper.
 Instances have been cited where large advertisers have gone under. This was not the fault of the advertising, but of the advertiser. A man can lose money speculating in advertising the same as in wheat. It is in dealing with the ar ticle as a staple that results in sure re- turns.
 The newspaper that takes advertising to fill up with cannot prosper. A news paper that has it's rates too high cannot sell it's space. There is a normal rate, that is, 8 rate which the publisher can afford to accept and make profit and which the advertiser can afford to pay and also make profit. The profit must be mutual else one or the other will quit, We aim to have our rates ''normal."

When Gen. Sheridan was in com mand of the military department of the northwest at Chicago, 50 the story goes, he had as sort of door tender and factotum at his office in the city an Irish corporal whose faithfulness was not to be questioned, but who he'd a way, sometimes troublesome, of talk ing everything exactly as 1t was said.
 One day gentleman called at tho headquarters and asked:
 Els the general to be seen todayf"
 "Faix, think he is that, sorr," said Corp. Michael.
 Then will step in if you please"
 The corporal bowed the visitor into the generals anteroom. There was no sign of Sheridan, but the visitor, think. ing that he had stepped out for a mo- ment and would presently return, sat down to wait.
 He waited half an hour or more, and then began to grow impatient. Finally he returned to the corporal at the door.
 See here, corporal" said he, sT thought you told me Gen. Sheridan was to be seenl"

the Holy Land who are from scalp to heel surcharged with unbeiefs A trar dition may be as much divinely in- spired as a book. The scenery of Pal estine is interjoined, intertwisted, inter- locked with the Scriptural occurrences The learned Ritter, who has never been charged with any weakness of in- creduity, writes: No one can trace without joy and wonder the veriica- tion which geography pays to the history of the Holy Land.'
 When the brilliant Renan went to Palestine he was stuffed with enough incredulity to make dozen Thomas Paines, and yet he gives the following experience: The marvellous harmony of the evangelical picture, with the country which serves as it's frame, was to me a revelation. I had before my eyes a fifth gospel, mutilated but still legible; and ever afterward in the re- citals of Matthew and Mark, instead of an abstract being that one would say has never existed, saw wonderful human figure live and move So said an unbeliever. In this my visit to Pal estine, in the year of our Lord 1889 90, Ialso find the landscape a commentary. The rivers, the mountains, the valleys, the lakes, the rocks, the trees, the costumes of the Holy Land, agree with Matthew and Mark and Luke and John. The geography and topography are the background of the Gospel pictures. They carry 8 different part of the same song.

 Wandering up and down the chief art galleries of Europe I have looked for a face of the'Saviour which I would like to have in my life of Christ. The one have chosen in preference to all is that executed by modern artist already widely honored.
 Il have no idea that thA Fourteenth century, or the Fifteenth century. or the Sixteenth century monopolized Ill the brain. think the best music 1s yet to be composed, the best sculpture yet to be chiseled, the best paintings are yet to be presented to the world. We are almost always disappointed with a picture of Christ It is the uni versal criticism of such pictures, While l admire the artistic merit of the pro- duction, the picture is not my idea of the Saviour The picture is apt to rep- resent Christ either as effeminate or se- were, weak or awful. To comminele in one picture strength and humility, suffering and triumph, the ionlike and the lambhke. the face that drowned the bestormed lake into calm, and yet was such an invitation to babyhood that children tumbled from their moth ers' arms into his bosom-that was what l was looking for, and that have found, and that we present to our readers.
 "I think it will satisfy more people than any other face that has ever been put on canvas The cranial develop ment of this picture of Christ is marvel ous, and different from anything pre- viously produced. We must not forget that he was not only Christ of great heart, but also of great head. Most other paintings of our Lord were made from models. This artist had no model. He feels that it wss an inspiration. and ] believe it was. The German is apt to paint a German Christ, the Italian an Italian Christ, the Frenchman a French Christ, the Spaniard a Spanish Christ. But it was left for our artist. In whose veins commingle the blood of many nationalities, to paint for us The Worlds Christ!' Blessed be his plori- ous name foreverp
 The public will be curious to see the work of this artist.
