On Advertising.

Professor j. H. Tigner lectured on
The Best Methods of Encouraging
Trade" at San Francisco recently
Time and money spent judiciously
in advertising in the newspaper will
bring in return profits" said the
speaker
The lecturer told his audience en-
phatically that the only profitable
and desirable legitimate advertising
mediums were the daily and weekly
newspapers of prominent standing.
"There is a great desire on the
part of many to make money without
labor, and in order to do this the bu-
siness man must keep constantly
before the public. The newspaper
is the medium through which he can
do it.
"The newspaper of to-day is an
encyclopedia. 1t is the educator of
the people. It includes all classes
of readers. In consequence, a news
paper is a most vigilant salesman,
seeking everybody everywhere"
The speaker instructed his hearers
to avoid sensational and trashy jour-
nails.
"But confne your advertisements
to good and legitimate newspapers,
which are read in business houses
and in homes"
"Handbills, posters and circulars
attract only passing notice, while
constant advertising in a newspaper
is bound to attract attention and
bring patronage. The business man
who does not advertise will find it
difficult to compete with the one who
uses printers ink.
"The newspaper advertisement
unites the buyer with the seller, and
the vender with the consumer.
advertisement to be iudicious
must be timely and well written, for
a few carelessly composed lines will
not be considered worth reading by
the people you desire to reach"
Professor Tigner closed his re-
marks by advising every business
man who desired to make success,
to adyertisein the newspapers. Also,
to make the advertisement conspicu-
Gus, and keep it continually before
the general public.

We have done much to alleviate
suffering. Benefactions have some

been built and endowed where the
wounded and the incurable and the
physically doomed are guarded with
motherly love and ministered to by

organizations which do what they can
to bridge over a period of distress.
The difficulty is not with our philan

business. We must do something to
support the paper. Now is the time
to subscribe"

The individual who begins to part

Cleanliness may be recommended

Cleanliness may be recommended
as mark of politeness, as it produ-
ces affection, and as it bears analogy
to purity Of mind AS it renders US
agreeable to others, so it makes US
easy to ourselves. It is an excellent
preservative of health; and several
vices, destructive both to body and
mind, and inconsistent with the habit
of it.-Addison.

armored ship is in 1880. It was one
Of the feet of the knights Of st. John,
entirely sheeted with lead, and is
said to have successfully resisted all
the shot Of that day. At the siege
of Gibralter in 1882 the French and
Spaniards employed light iron bomb

practical use Of wrought iron plates
as q defence for the sides Of vessels
was by the French in the Crimean

Russian forts in the Baltic.

After years OF active experience in
news paper work, and with newspaper
men, I am more than ever convinced
that newspaper cannot afford, any
more than the individual to be with,
out a character and that if mans
character is summed up from his
life, from the good he has done, the
evil he has prevented, the homes he
has frightened and the hearts he
has gladdened, jnst SO will the mex
orable Judgment of posterity, and
Of the greater public, to which no
passion nor prejudice Of the day can
appeal, measure out merciless justice

Some Phases OF Contempora-

The most sh, elng thing about
news, it seems to me, is the absolute
lack Of respect for privacy, and decen
cy which must attend its gathering.
Is it or is it not astounding that
nearly 1900 years after the beginning
of the Christian era, aud at the close
of a century which must always be
distinguished among its fellows in
the annals Of the world in which we
live-by reason of the records it has
witnessed, the discoveries it has re-
corded, and the intellectual achieve
ments it has registered-the highest
industry of our most marvellously
equipped machines, our newspapers,
which have as nearly as possible COM
bined into one great mechanical per-
fec.ion the spirit, body and brain Of
man, should find nothing more wor-
thy of presentation to the eye of the
thoughtful man OF woman than the
most recent divorce, the most painful
death, the most disgusting elopement
that can be heard of, by fair means
or foul? What can be the true in
wardness Of this thing we call "news, y
if it may be, as it often is, the prod
uct Of the upsetting of a coffe-pot
by servant in the family of man
whose name warrants the publication,

biography, with scandalous illusions
to the lives of all those connected
with him by blood or by marriage?

The Kents Hills will play two games OF
ball Saturday in Litchfield; one with

Litchfield Corner club. These games
will probably be the last that they will
play for the season.
A foot ball association has been formed
among the students, and an eleven will
be chosen at once. Prof. Newton will
probably give the boys instruction and
superintend their training. 1t is hoped
games with Coney High School and

Bible Society Exhibit.

In general way the purpose of the
Bible society is to show to the visit
ors to the worlds fair by this ex-
hibit the work it has accomplished and
the progress it has made in the seven,
ty-six years of its existence. Copies of
each of the annual reports and bound
files of ''The Bible Society Record
occupy shelves in one of the cases. In
the same class also appear specimens
of the electrotype plates used in print
ing the Scriptures. Two of these plates
are especially noteworthy, one of them
having been employed in the set used
in printing $50, 900 copies of the scent
edition of the New Testament, total
edition numbering 100000 having
been issued since 1878. The other plate
was one of the 2,054,o00 20-cent Bibles
which have come from the society's
press in the same period.

1t Owes Its Name to the Unlimited Em.
ployment of STAFF.
Much of the material used in the ex.
terror of the great buildings at the
worlds fair, and especially Of the col
umns, pediments and statuary, which
forms so extensive part of the deco
rative detail of that great show, is a
very cheap, snow-white, tough and
freproof composition, called ssstafff. -
Plaster of paris, to which little
cement is added, and fbers of sisal
grass, hemp or jute, are the chief in
gradients. The mixture is prepared SO
as to have consistency of molasses;
and it may then be nodded in any
shape desired. After it sets, the boards
or other pieces may be sawn, nailed
and bent almost at will; and the requi-
site frmness is acquired in less than
an hour. It is staff that forms the
covering of most of the large buildings,
and thus helps in a very important de-
gree to create the White City, Most
of the statues are first nodded in clay,
and then covered with staff. To re-
produce these vast structures and
works of art in the marble thus simu-
lated would cost twenty or thirty times
as much as this did.

The people of Louisiana who have
visited the worlds fair snd have gone
back home with their stories of lite
wonders have evidently stirred public
sentiment to high pitch. The cham
Der of commerce and industry of that
state has seen fit publicly to urge every
citizen in the state who can do so to
visit the fair.

congress to redeem such souvenir
coins as are not sold and hold them in

The Philadelphia Lawyers in Trouble.

The practice of law in Pennsylvania is
attended with one vexatious difficulty
the lack of an early publication and dis
tribution of the laws passed by the legis-
lature, 1t is now four months since that
body adjourned, but the annual pamph-
let containing the new statutes has not
yet made its appearance, much TO the in
convenience of both bench and bar.
Frequently the judges have to give de-
cisions based on the latest statutes, and
not having access to them they are
obliged to keep litigants waiting. The
delay this year is partly due to change
of public printers and the necessity of
procuring a new plant to do the work
of publication, but there is always more
or less inconvenience to the profession.
The legislature, foreseeing a longer
period of waiting this year than usual.
passed an act requiring printed copies of
each law to be furnished to each pro-
thonotary in the State as soon as they
were passed. This has been done, and in
each prothonotary's office complete set
of the laws is on file. This, however, is
an inconvenience to the lawyers, as even
in Philadelphia, where the parliamentary s
office is easy of access, there is only one
set of the laws for every 1,500 lawyers,
and even then, it is claimed that one set
is mutilated by lawyers cutting out some
law in preference to copying it. In other
counties it is a still greater inconven-
fence, and some LAWYERS are required to
travel twenty-five to thirty miles, or per-
haps a greater distance, to the county
town where the prothonotary's office is
located simply to read an act of the legis-
lature
