We had the unexpected pleasure Of
a good long talk with Judge j. G
Clark. We wish we could give il to

when he goes back in early September,
How few there are who pause, even
for an moment, III tho hurry and
scuIry of business and social life,
to consider the ali important
subjects of courtesy, morals and
manners. Moral ethics, as rule do
not constitute, or even approximate
tangible part of the customs of any
society. Lord Bacon said. ''Since Gus
tom is the principal magistrate of
human life, let men by all means en-
deavor to obtain good customs" The
manners and customs Of people con-
stitute the laws written and unwritten,
which govern all social intercourse. 1t
is mistake to say that the laws of
etiquette prevailing in polite society are
vague and underlined. 1t matters not
when etiquette properly so called was
instituted. certain it is that the etiquette
of polite life is written in a despotic
code, and those who obey any of them
can not be excused from obeylng the
whole. The law-b breaker in political
government is punished civllly for it,
and so the violator of the social laws of
polite society, is punished for his recall
citrancy in a social way usually by
being entirely excluded from society
But after all, everything that pertains
to good breeding and 10 mental and
moral culture, ought to be of interest to
those who wouldpass agreeably through
the world. We should not therefore
regard the understanding of the laws of
etiquette as trivial thing; but we
should rather look to see if the obser-
vance of them, will not lead to a higher
level of life and manners.
Having a considerable amount of
space TO fill on short notice this week,
we take the opportunity which is affored
by the occurrence to say few words
favorable to advertising. That one uf
the most trying of the many problems
with which business man meets, is
that of advertising, is fact that ali
business men will acquiescein "How
to advertise" has worried many a men
1t is matter in which it is not easy to
give rules which would apply to all
cases. But its features may be consid-
cred as they come to the surface, while
now and then we are sure to find a style
which may at least be marked down as
one to be avoided There are many
ways in which TO advertise, and certain
styles are doubtless more effective than
others. Much depends on the article
self ana tne class to whom it is to be
offered These considerations alone
will often decide the style of an adver-
tisement. Almost every business man
has his theory about proper advertise
ing. Some say that there is no use of
