The tallest structure, compared with
the size of the builder, is the hill of the
Termites. or white ants. If the houses
of men were proportionately lofty the
humblest residence would be a mile
high.

an obelisk at Karnak, in Egypt, near
luxor. The monument was erected by
Hatasu, queen who reigned 1000 b. C.

The most remarkable stone forma-
tion in the world is the Giants Cause

as regular as though hewn by stone
cutters chisels.
The most valuable tree is the palm.
The natives of the countries where it
grows procure from it materials for
their houses, clothing, baskets, mats,
food and drink, fishing lines and ropes,

photographic work at prices with which
the American establishments cannot
compete. This is due to two causes. The
first is the question of wages, which
range from So to 50 per week in Ger
many, while the Americans engaged in
precisely the same kind of work in this
country receive, on an average, from
$50 to SD per week.
Besides this additional cost of 150
per cent, to which the American litho-
graphic industry is subjected, in COM Pc

Germany are an outrage. Instances are
quoted of invoices for labels at Sc 63 per
1000 sets, inside and ou tside, who're the

When to Stop Advertising.

An English trade journal once re-
ouested a number of its largest adver-
tisers to give their opinions concerning
the best time to stop advertising, and
the TO lowing replies were received:
When the population ceases to null
tiply, and the generations that crowd
on after you stop coming on.
When you have convinced everybody
whose life will touch yours that you
have better goods and lower prices han
thev can get anywhere else.
When you perceive 1t to be the rule
that men who never advertise are out
stripping their neighbors in the same
line of business.
When men stop making fortunes right
in your sight solely through the dis
Greet use Of the mighty agent.
When you can forget the words or the
sh -ewdest and most successful business
men concerning the main cause # their
prosperity.
When every man has become SO
thoroughly a creature of habit that
he will certainly buy this year where he
bought last year.
When younger and fresher houses IN
your line cease starting up and using
the newspapers IN telling the people
how much better they can do for them
than you can.

CARDIFF advices report the Welsh tin
plate industry in very hard way on ac-
count of the Mckinley bill. Repubi-

remoteness of its objects. 1t ovelhows
