No Medium Like the Newspaper.


The advertising man of well known
New York clothing house says: 1--WE
were the first to use the sails Of YES
sells as an advertising medium. Then
we got up the alphabet puzzle, and
gave away 100000 puzzles while the
craze lasted. Afterward we invented
the Waterbury watch idea. We had to
do something, because three of our prin-
cipal competitors had failed, and their
stocks were being sold for next to
nothing by assignees; SO we decided to
give Waterbury watch with every
twelve dollars worth Of goods pur-
chased. We advertised the watches
wound and set To wind them fast
enough we had to rig up a little machine
worked like a sewing machine that
would do the winding, and we kept
several boys at work winding and setting
them. Before we quit we had given
away 49, 900 Of the watches.
"But nothing ever pays us like the or
binary newspaper advertising. The fact
is there has come to be in this city a
class Of advertisement readers just as
there is of news readers. They read the
advertisements every day, and of course
the man who wants to attract them has
to get up an advertisement that will do
it. The day of standing advertisements
in the paper, Go to So-and-Sos for cloth
ing or Go to This-and-That's for shoes,
has passed, just as the day for painting
signs on rocks and fences or on the sails
of boats has passed. You must have
something interesting and fresh in every
advertisement, and it will be read

upon tourists. It is said that there are
not one-tenth of the foreigners in Italy

of travellers has been diverted to SwitZer-
land, Spain and other parts Of Europe.
There has not been the slightest founda-
tion for the reports of outrages having
been committed upon American citizens;
yet the uncertain condition of diplomatic
relations has kept thousands Of Americans
away from Italy.
NEW ORLEANS, May 12-Chevalier Pas
quale Corte received a dispatch from
Rome, instructing him to return home i'm
mediately and to inform his government
of the facts concerning the recent uprising.

A Place for Talent.

In nearly all regulated lines of indus
try at present the advertising man is one
of the most important adjuncts of a
business. And ON the the other hand
the advertising department of a first
class newspaper is not what it used to
be, but is instead fast becoming an in
teresting feature OF all enterprising jour
mails. Formerly the prevailing idea
among the uninitiated was that the
talented, the best, most versatile and
most ingenious writers and artists were
all employed in the news department.
How nearly correct this idea may have
been need not be stated, but that such is
not the case now may be seen by a
perusal of the lads" OF any fourishing
paper. The competitions between the
merchants and between the papers
agents have become so great that the
great wholesale and retail houses Of the
large cities employ talented men at big
salaries to attend 10 their advertising
alone, and the men who want the best
positions in the counting rooms of news
papers must combine fine business quail
fcations with the talent that wins sue
cess in the editorial chair.-Yenowine'

The White Shark.

The shark of sharks, the real "man
eater" and the one most dreaded, is the
white shark. This variety reaches length
of thirty-five feet and weight of 1000
pounds. Its head is long and fat. and the
snout far Overhangs the mouth. Its six
rows of teeth are sharp as lancets, and
notched like saws. Its mouth is very
large, so that one has been known to cut q
mans body completely in two at single
snap of its cruel jaws, and another to swal-
low one at a gulp. Near Calcutta one of
these sharks was seen to swallow bull.
locks head, horns and all.
From the stomach of another a bulls
hide was taken entire, and the sailor who
made the discovery insisted that the bull
had been swallowed whole, and all except
the hide had been digested. From the
stomach of another was taken lady's
workboX, filled with the usual contents,
scissors and all. 1t is commonly the white
shark which follows the vessel at sea day
after day and week after week.-London

CHANGING DEFEAT TO VICTORY.

adversaries in the shape of inefficient
remedies fail to stay the progress of that
obstinate and malignant foe, malaria.
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters turns the
side-drives the enemy back. Nothing in
materia medica, or ont of it. compares
with this as an opponent OF every form of
malarial disease. Chills and fever, dumb
ague bilious remittent and ague cake-It
matters not-one and all are eXtirpated by
the Bitters. To take a course of the great
preparative in advance of the malarial
season, is 10 buckle on, as it were, an
armor of proof which defies attack. So
fortified so protected, you shall be scathe-
less. Remember too, that the Bitters is
an eradicator of liver complaint, constipa-
tion, rheumatism, kidney complaints and
dyspepsia.

Advertising Necessary to Success.

advertising NeccSSars 10 SUCCESS.
The merchant or manufacturer who
does not advertise his goods cannot sue
ceed. Of late newspaper advertising has
become distinct trade in itself, and al
over the country leading concerns pay
fabulous prices for men who are sEullful
in writing catchy advertisements. In
many large cities there are men earning
from s., GOO to sl0. 600 a year to write adj
vertisements. This fact in itself shows
advertising pays.
IL people interested in this subject
will investigate 1t for themselves they
will find that the leading advertisers in
The Plain Dealer are the merchants who
have the best stores, the best assort-
ments of goods and who sell at the most
reasonable prices. Such merchants do a
much larger business than merchants
who do not advertise: consequently they
turn their goods over more quickly and
can afford TO give better prices. Close
buyers appreciate this What is ths
moral: He who advertises the most
judiciousIy succeeds the best, and the
buyers who seek the best bargains
patronize such merchants--Clevelaud

The Use of the Word "Ouite. -

Few writers seem TO understand the cor
rect use of quite" To say that a girl is
quite pretty" should mean that she is ex-
ceedingly pretty, whereas many writers
would use the phrase to express the idea
that she was rather pretty. Although the
second use has become common, it is better
to restrict the use of quite" to its origina,
meaning, and to employ it always as an in
tensive rather than diminutive.-Cor.
