A NEWLY invented device for prevent
ing caterpillars from climbing trees is
the winding of the trunk of the trees
for space with alternate wires of COP
per and zinc SO closely that the
marauder must touch one wire of each
kind at every step of his progress. The
result will be an electric shock strong
enough to prccipitate the villain to the
earth. Encouragement and nervous
prostration would probably drive the
creature to eventual suicide under this
treatment.

COUNSEL for Deeming, the Australian
murderer, propose to set up plea that
shows very clearly the vice of the mod

morse. 1t is gravely asserted that evil
dence will be introduced to show that
Deeming inherited vicious propensities
which he is incapable of resisting; that.
therefore, he is not morally responsible
and should not be made to suffer for
crime. Perhaps the readiest answer to
such . claim is that it is equivalent to
denying that he is human being at all.

gives the following advice to young
men: DO not think a man has done his
full duty when he has performed the
work assigned him. A man will never
rise If he does only this. Promotion
comes from exceptional work. What
ever your wages are, save little. Live
within your means. The heads of
stores, farms, banks, lawyers offices,
insurance companies, mills and foe.
tories, are not seeking capital; they are
seeking brains and business habits. The
man " no saves little from his income
gives the surest indication of the quail
ties which employers are seeking for.

The Secret of Good Advertising.

It goes without saying that the chief charm or feature of successful advertising, whether it be confined to what is termed "duli times" or flush times" depends largely upon the arrangement so that it may be made to include all the require ments of seasonable goods. Of course there are exceptions. Tia reputable firm should adver tise seal skin garments in July or August, to be sold for one-third of their known value, their sales would unquestion- able be tremendous. Experience proves that the majority of sales are made sometime after the thought first occurred to the purchaser. The majority of men think once before buying. Women, who are the most extensive shoppers and consequent ly should be appealed to more fre- ly, think two or three times before buying. It is more profitable to advertise before season than after season. The shrewd merchant ad- vertises the year round, so that he may reach the buyer before he buys as well as to reach him when he is Tn the mood and willing to buy.
