Some Of the Things Wise Men Find 1t
Profitable to Do.

Some Of the Things Wise Men Find It
Profitable to Do.
Have confidence in the article
you advertise. If you believe 1t to
be the best, don't be afraid to say
so. Your very confidence will
prejudice the buying public in your
favor.
If you advertise one article only
in an advertisement, make the
name prominent. Many person
who would not read the entire an
nouncement will see the displayed
name and remember it.
At this season of the year adver.
tisements becomes news matter.
In every household there are those
who are looking for holiday bar
gains. The spirit of Christmas pre-
sensations broods over the land,
and the eyes of kindliness and fore
thought scan the merchants col
umns with keener vision than that
with which they read the telegraph
ic dispatches, or even fashion notes.

Many Of the magnificent new ho.
tells in New York are not SO well
patronized as the other ones, for
the reason, probably, that their ex-
istence is scarcely known to the
people who visit New York from
other cities.

tise because his father did not do so
should remember that II every man
had done as his father did before
him, humanity would all be wear

The habit Of advertising in dull
times to stir up business Is slowly
growing, but az yet is far behind
the plan Of advertising when trade
is brisk. Good trade makes mer-

bad patronage makes him econom-

The Popularity of Metal Bedstsads.

The demand for metal bedstesds has
increased very rapidly during the last
few years, and more especially the last
few months, and the West is changing
its reputation in this line OF goods.
Formerly the demand was almost exclu-
siveIy for wooden bedsteads, and very
few iron, aud still fe yer brass beds were
sold west of the Mississippi. Now, how
ever, there is steady call for good iron
and brass bedsteads, as well as for lower
priced grades: S.. Louis is making a
large quantity of furniture of every kind,
and for some time has been manufactur-
ing iron bedsteads of very durable and
popular pattern Now, to meet the de-
mand for artistic. brass bedsteads, plant
IS being put in and another important
addition made to the already extensive
manufacturing facilities of the city
One of the reasons of the great growth
in the furniture business of the city is
the increased friendly relations between
ST. Louis and Mexico. Some people
think there is not much scope for trade
with Spanish American countries, but
this sentiment Is confined exclusively to
those who have never been to Mexico or
to any other of the republics in which
the Spanish language is spoken exclu.
sively or extensively. Ono month spent
in any of these countries will convince
the most sceptical that the United States
ought to have nine-tenths Of the trade
of these prosperous communities, and
that it can have it for little more thar
the logical asking. st. Louis Globe

Swords OF All Kinds.

71he swords of Hindustan are of er l.
.ess variety In size and shape, the most
comm on being the "tegha" and stall
VAR broad, much curved blades,
wrongly styled scimitars-.he real scim-
itar being clumsy, chopper like weapon,
nearly straight and widening to the
point. There is the ''khanda, heavy,
straight sword with basket hilt, like the
Scottish clsymore. The khands was an
object of worship to the Rajputs, pre-
cisely as to the Scythians. The 'pata,
or gauntlet sword, much used ty the
Mahrattas, was a development of the
''katar," having a long rapier blade,
often of Spanish make, and cylindrical
hilt, into which the arm was passed to
the elbow. The Persian sword, how
ever, was valued above all others, aud
particularly those of Khorassan. These,
according to the Kansas City Times, are
the real Damascus blades" the demas-
cening being produced by the crystalli-
Eation of the steel. Connoisseurs recog-
nize ten different varieties of watering
or jauhar; and the most Incredible prices
have been given for fancy specimens. In
6urnes's "Visit to the Court of Sind, I"
he says: az have had in my hand plain
blade which had cost them (the Amirs)
half lac of rupees Tin that day about
S25, ,00O. Such swords as these often
bear long inscriptions in gold inlaying,
such as, Il am the produce of Persia, of
ancient steel and water. When brave
man wields me hundred thousand Hin
dus will perish by my edge" There is
very singular sword in the South Ken
sington collection, composed of two very
thin blades, with half hilts, which are
made by series of catches on the inner
side to unite and form single weapon.
From the great beauty of the ornaments
and mounting it was probably made by
some renowned armorer for presentation.
But the great brittleness of these swords
makes them unfit for use by Europeans,
who would shiver them to pieces by d
''swashing blow" while the oriental en-
ploys their razor edge only for the
"drawing" cut.

An Unassuming Monarch.

"The Emperor of Austria is one of the
most unassuming monarchs in all Eu-
rope" said w. P. Eldridge, a
gentleman recently returned from
Europe. "While in Vienna l had
occaoion to visit the palace and
found the Emperor's audience cham.
Der crowded with Generals and no.
blemen who had come to thank
his Majesty for promotions and decora-
tions; but mingling with these were au-
thors, inventors, professors, widows and
orphans seeking pensions, and a number
Of very poor men aud women who had
petitions TO present. There are few
countries in which persons of this latter
class would ever chance o! seeing their
sovereign; but in Austria anybody who
has anything reasonable to ask of the
Emperor is sure of an audience. On one
or two days week his Majesty receives
all comers who have applied to be re-
ceived, and he receives them alone. Ev-
cry applicant takes his turn. A master
of ceremonies opens a door, the visitor
walks in and finds himself face to face
with the Emperor, who is usually unat-
tended. The door closes and the peti.
titioner may say to the Emperor what he
likes. There is no chamberlain or secre.
tary to intimidate him. The Emperor
stands in plainly furnished study in
undress uniform without a star or grand
Gordon, and he greets everybody with
an encouraging smile ana a good-na-
tured gesture of the hand, which seems
to say, There is no ceremony here. Tell
me your business, and if l can help you,
/ will The Emperor of Austria has 6
clear, penetrating eye, and quick catch
ing manner. BY glance he makes peo-
pie feel at home, and by word draws
from them what they have to say. Ther
he gives his own answer straight out and
Fearlesslv, but generally With an acqui.
esciug smile, and whatever he promises
IS faithfully performed. There is moth
.ng petty or evasive in him. He is c
monarch who replies by Yes or No,
put always with the greatest courtesy.
A most lovable trait in him is, that
whenever he sees anybody nervous in his
presence he makes the audience last until
by his kind endeavors the nervousness
mas been entirely dispelled. st. Lou

LAYING Hot Brick in Hot MOrtu.

"Never saw them lay hot brick in not
mortar with the thermo meter sixteen de-
grees below zerol" SAID J. Travis King,
prominent New York lawyer at Will
ards. "It was a revelation to me, too.
On my way home from western trip
stopped at Duluth. The thermometer
registered the figure l have named, but
building was going on just the same Oh
dozen brick buildings, one of which
was an office building to cost $500, 900.
In the east we shut up shop in the buiId-
ing line in freezing weather because
frozen mortar loses its temper aud is
worthless. But out there it remains b.
low the freezing point. As they use it
it sets before freezing and when set its
lIl right. The bricklayers on building
work as close together as possible, wear
ing protectors on their hands. Beside
them are little furnaces and metal-linei
mortar tubs beneath which arc fires.
The bricks and mortar are heated hot
and laid. A brick, you know, will re.

of lava two miles long emerged from
within this ring of islands, forming the
island of Neo-kaimeni. In February,
1866, another lava mass rose slowly from
the bottom near Neo- -Ksimeni and grow
ing gradually in size became united To
Nee Kaimeni. Four days later a similar
island was uplifted to the southwark and
connected itself with Neo -KaimeDi,
forming a promontory. These chan ges
were accompanied by volcanic eIuptions,

The celebrated Easter Island, abou,
which there is so much mystery, is a
onely volcanic rock in the midst of the
Pacific. Thou III its area is only thirty
.wo square miles it is believed to have
supported for centuries population of
at least 10000 souls. 1t is literally
honeycombed with caves, which were
originally formed by bubbles of expand
ing gases during volcanic action. In
these caverus the inhabitants formerly
1welt and in them they placed the bones
Of their dead. Hundreds of such cavI-
lies in the lava have been found crowded
with innumerable skeletons. There ars
pnly few hundred people on tho islanu
Iow, but the gigantic stone images and
other works Of art left behind by their
ancestors remain an enduring evidence
)f wonderful semi civilization.
1t is believed that once upon tim,
here were many more islands in the
southern Pacific than now, and that great
numbers of them have disappeared
through volcanic causes. Real estate in
that part of the world would not seem
to be held on the most secure terms. 1t
is always going down or looming up. A
new volcano 355 feet high was reported
IN 1854 by the United States steamer
Alert, 25O miles south of Japan. 1t ha:
since vanished. The Samoan group was
Iplilted by volcanic forces aud ml scs ol

Wigs For Youn, Men.

"There are more bald-headed young
.nen in leading Washington social
circles" said the supplier of hirsute de-
ficiencies to the Herald scribe, ethan
people would think. But that is be-
cause very little of it is revealed to the
curious glance. You see, most of tbs
young men grow bald immediately ab0v3
the forehead, which leaves a triau gular
space, or on the centre of the head. Tho
first place is very easily concealed By a
patch which looks as natural as the real
thing. These patches are readily al
justed and may be brushed in any style.
They are rather expensive, though
that is, if a man desires something which
will completely battle the attempts Of
the suspicious at detection-and cost all
the way from $50 to $3.50, according t
size and finish.
~ could name twenty young meh
who sport these patches, and whose hair
is universally admired by the fair sex,
but, of course, wouldn't. C)ncernIn ,
the particular spot on top of the heal,
in which the hair is especially fieeting,
any number OF men whose ages ran &c
between twenty five and forty are 81
decorated. They do not come so high
as the tirst-named prices, but are Just al
easily adjusted, and present the SAM
impenetrable finish. There are not man!
Of the complete wigs sold, like theTt
were fifteen or twenty years ago. II
fact, 1t is hard to get a wig which doe.
not give itself away, and this Is worse
than thin hair or badness. What is the
color mostly in vogue concerning wigs
Why, 1 guess dark brown is the mos
popular. Most men have that color oI
hair. B!ack-haired aud extremely Ii 5ht.
