A NOVEL. vAY OF ADVERTISING.
Popular Attention Gained by n Firm

c"l,s,ar Attention Gained by a Firm
Though n Clever K,se.
A very clever bit of advertising was
,racticed by merchant from Illinois.
IL published" said he, IAN item con-
cerning the anticipated visit of an En-
glish gentleman who had long been a
resident of Siam and who expected to
bring his wife, Sialnese lady of ex-
alted birth, along with him.
"Everybody in the place was inter
ested. The items appeared from thine
to time concerning the customs and
peculiaritics of the people, and in the
Sunday edition an account Of the oppo.
sition which the Englishman was
obliged to overcome before he finally
came off triumphant His narrow es-
cape from assassination, secret flight
all was worked out in a most interest
ing and careful manner, until there was
not woman in town who was not
fairly wild to- meet the hero and hero
inc The expected couple arrived on
tho day after that on which they were
due, and, getting into Il coach at the
depot, they were driven at once to the
- hotel, which is near the store.
1T did not take long for the report
erssto learn that tho veled lady was
the one whom they wished to interview.
1t was impossible to see her, they soon
found out, but her husband was q very
agreeable fellow, it appeared, and he
entertained the newspaper men in great
shape, and gave them lots of matter
which was sure to be cut
"The next day the gentleman with
his wifa closely veiled, wandered past
the stores in the street. looking into
this window and into that, until they
came to my place, where, after a short
inspection of the windows, they en-
tered and made several purchases, a
crowd of curious folk following The
lady remained all this time closely
vcilcd, so that no one could see the re-
markablc and peculiar beauty of whicl,
the paper had spoken.
"Nfter leaving my store they went
back to the hotel. This game was
kept up for nearly week, few pur-
chases being made in some of my rivals
stores, but was without doubt the ia
vortc. 1t gave ne a great boom, and
Iwould have liked to continue it q lit
tie longer, but the bride made great
kick and said that she had enough of
the veiled beauty business. So they
went away TO St. Louis, it was sup
posed, but they were back to my house
in two days, he minus his beard, for
the weather was getting hot, and she
minus the heavy veil.
'lIe was my brother, and she was
his wife, and it was Il little plan of his
to boom trade for me and have a lark
himself. He was going to spend Il por-
ton of his vacation with me, and he
thought that business might be COM
binel with pleasure. A little coaxing
made his wife an accolnplice, and no
one in my place. was any the wiser.

4 Hotel with Many Locks.

The new Hotel SIctropole at Brighton
has been provided, according to Sir
George Chubbs address to the visitors
at the WoIverllampton works, with be-
tween 500 and 900 locks. Each is said
to be different, but a single master
key" as it is called, opens the whole
number. There are also, it appears,
several sets of sub-master keys. Thus,
the manager or proprietor OF hotel
can have access to every room in the
Building, but each tenant can only get
into his own room, while the officials
can each have master keys to the
particular sets of rooms of which they
have charge. The rather stringent
views which our judges have taken OF
hotel keepers liabilities makes the ques-
ton of hotel locks more than ever inn

ayers point of view London Tit

The Legend oi the Mignonettc.

In the garden grew flower,
Humbly. trailing it was found,
Bent ly clustered petals downward
To tile damp, cool, shady ground.
Day by day the master spied it,
In its neutral tinted dress,
Called it dull and hateful blossom,
Vowed to eyer love 1t less.
"For," spakc he, "tis never laden
With the halo of perfume;
'Tis n soullcss flower growing
Where bright roses fair should bloom
'Tis a weed that mars the garden,
Plant me flowers RIB and rare"
Thus he babe the keeper spade it
From his pathway everywhere.
AS lie spoke light supcrm
Filled each corner of the place,
And the master looked and lrcmblcd
At the glory of face.
Smiling sadly down upon him,
With look that seemed TO say,
"Givc this modest little creature
OF Gods making lcayc TO stay"
1t was Mary-viryin mother
Like the morning, clastc ard pure;
Crowned with holy rays from heaven,
That his eyes could scarce endure.
Low toward it she inclined her,
Til her lips had touched The plant,
Breathing full upon its petals,
Swaying on the moS-y slant.
And the air grew ia mt with Cd 'rs
Swccer than Arabian spice;
Then the saintcd Mary vanished,
She had kissed the blossom thrice.
Since that time III all the garden
Grows no swceicr thing as yet,
Than the lovely, heaven born flower,
Than the fragrant mynonctc.

The Care of Books.

Children should early be taught care of a
book. A very little child can understand
that book must not be thrown on the
floor or torn or bent backward or NAL
treated in the fifty small ways in which
children are permitted to abuse books.
Such habits in children arc due quite rs
much to ignorance as carelessness on the
part of parents. Those who have no inter
est or affection for books themselves are
not likely to expect it from their children.
A reverence for books is part of the love
one bears them, and people who have been
brought up in an atmosphere of books, or
who spend much time in reading or study,
will naturally handle a book respectfully
themselves, and insist that their children
shall do likewise.
There is much negligence shown in the
matter of returning borrowed books, and
this often by persons of whom one would
expect better things. For months after a
book is read it is allowed to lie about the
house, and no especial effort is made to re-
turn it to its owner. That book should
be returned as soon as read, just as partc
ularly as one would return tool after
using it or garment after wearing it,
would appear to go without saying. Yet
it is not always the case.
And it is right to insist that our children
shall be as exact in this respect that they
shall, after borrowing book, cover it
neatly if it be a nicely bound one, treat it
carefully while in their possession and re.
turn it promptly when finished. This is
not only simple justice to the owner, but
such teaching will go far toward making
child particular about the property of 9th.

The cause OF Poor Health

Is often found in the neglect of ones
own self A light cold or slight head
ache is treated as not requiring much
attention; the assumption being that
they will soon pass off, and it is only
when case Of full-1edged sickness de-
velops Itself that the consequences OF
that neglect are fully realized. As a
preventive and positive cure for Conghs,
Colds, Hoarseness, Splitting OF blood,
Asthma, Pains in the Chest and first
stages OF consumption, use Eilert's Ex-
tract of Tar and Wild Cherry, and for
sick Headache, Torpid Liver, Dys-

Complaints, use EIIert's Daylight Liver
Pills. Both are guaranteed.

They held them in one hand and then in

The Englishman once witnessed a pa.
thetic as we'll as heroic scene in one of the
city squares, in which the sacred MONKEYS
were the actors He saw number of
monkeys seated and standing in large
circle, and female monkey hugging and
wailing over the dead body of her baby,
that had just been killed by cobra's bite
The other females were trying to console
her by caresses, while the males appeared
to be in earnest consultation among them
selves In the center of the circle was the
large cobra that had inflicted the fatal bite,
coiled and with head erect, watching the
enemies by whom he was surrounded
Suddenly young and athletic male
monkey sprang into the arena. He care
fully approached the COBRA which pre-
pared itself to strike. The monkey made
few passes, and just as the snake was
about to dart its head he sprang to one
side, and then over the cobra. This was
repeated so often and with such astound-
ing rapidity that the cobra became bewil-
dered, when the monkey seized the snake
by the neck and proceeded to crush its
head to II jelly by rubbing it on the ground
with all it's might The snake tried to
free itself by coiling around the monkeys
neck; but in vain; its struggles became
weaker and weaker until life was extinct.
When the snakes head had been reduced
to n shapeless mass the silnian hero dropped
the cobra and executed a series of hops and
somersaults.
Up TO that moment the other monkeys
had maintained the most anxious silence,
watching every movement of the combat
ants with eager interest The snakes
death, however, was the signal for the
most joyous gatherings and gambols
They took hold of the conqueror of the
snake, patted him on the head, scratched
his back, danced around him and gave
every manifestation of their great appre
