STORES.

The Prominent Part That Profuse Adver-
Using Plays In Their Success.
Aside from departures in policy and
innovations on a large scale, the original
ity of the department store is largely
supplied by two departments, to some
extent correlated. These are the adver-
Using department and the window
dressing department.. One Ia the litera-
ture of the great store, the other its art.
The shop windows are a great stimulus
for the department whose goods are dis
played in them. A good showing will
often wonderfully increase the sale of
the stock as we'll as attract customers to
the store who are new to il. frequently

manager of the store. Whether this is
the case or not, he is a general supervis-

knowledge of its ever changing detail.
Every day he holds consultations with

The amount of money spent for adver.
tising is appalling when looked upon as
ali expense. One great store in Philadel.
phia spends on an average 81, 900 every
day in the year, and a good many spend
$500 a Gay. The advertising receives
probably more Of the personal attention
of the head of the house than any Other
department.. The head of the firm which
expends the great sum just mentioned
personally suggests and frequently
writes the leading lines in the daily an
nouncement. The proprietor of a grea'
store in Brooklyn does this invariably
and thinks the time we'll spent which
the work daily requires. The mail de
partment tends to enlarge this expendi
ture, as the store reaches out to the ut
most parts Of the country, and the flu
ture will no doubt see an even greater
development in the effort to secure mai
customers in the small towns and il

A Brazilian naval officer, who passed

would appear about five miles west. At

ICE CAVES.

as Crystal.
In Modoo county, CAL, is an immense
field OF lava covered with a beautiful
forest of conifers, which is inhabited by
deer, bear, panther, lynx, coyote, porcu-
pine and numerous fur bearing animals
whose pelts are of value to the trapper.
1t was in these lava beds that the Modoc
Indians made their stand against the
government troops some years ago and
were with very great difficulty destroy
ed. 1t is here that the ice caves are
found, and from them the Modocs drew
their water supply while besieged by
the troops.
One never having been over a lava
field a form but little idea Of the
chaotic manner in which the ingenious
workmen have left the products of their
labor. The only order observed is disor-
der of the most exaggerated kind,
wherein every mass Of rock has been
twisted or raised or depressed or arched
over some cavern in a different way from
that of its neighbors. The caves scatter
ed throughout these lava beds are Of
very varying shapes and Dimensions.
Some are mere covert ways, with an
arch Of stone thrown over them. Others
are Immense chambers some yards from
the surface, another kind is sunk quite
deeply and may be in a series Of cham
bers united by a corridor that opens at
the surface, while another kind seems
to 60 directly to the center of the earth
without stopping.
1t is here that the stores Of ice are
found, which is formed from water that
filters in annually from the melting
SHOWS above. Every winter the lava
beds are covered with a fall Of snow
which varies from two to ten feet in
depth. The temperature over this region
in the coolest weather is often 20 or
more degrees below zero, SO that n
water that might be in the caves is
frozen solid, unless the caves mouths
should be entirely covered with snow,
which is not often the case. Now, when
spring M and the snow melts, the
water p%ercolates through into the cold
storage chambers beneath and is there
CONCEALED by the prevailing cold. 1t is
in this way that the ice has been made
and stored for years. And were these
caves accessible to market they would
furnish the purest of ice to many cities

HI MILLER'S SONG.

Sweet as a thorny wild rose that dews of even

Now she folds tattered petals around q wound

And, oh, her sister roses, they shrink from her
aparti
Do you remember, Dorothy, days that have
flown away
With rose and lilac and hawthorn fed with q
parted May2
Do you remember kisses snatched by the elder
tree,
Vows that were made and Extraordinarily,
rrothy?
Since you were sweet and twenty many q rose
has died,
Many a rosebud broken her jealous sheaths
aside.
And who was queen of roses is changed and
pale of blee.
No man now seeks Maid Marian all men seek
Dorothy.

And there's no horn could waken Scarlet or

Shere,
And would that ne were lying dead of your

are ver 800 of these banners in all, and

tried to make each offering more beau

Manning and the Jesuits.

Edmund S. Purcell, who wrote the
biography Of Cardinal Manning that
was 80 widely discussed and in some
quarters condemned, wrote a paper for
The, Nineteenth Century entitled "On
the Ethics of Suppression In Biogra-
ply" in which he makes an interesting
statement concerning Manning's rela-
tions to the Jesuits:
Cardinal Manning could not endure
lit was not in his nature-to be looked
upon by the Jesuits as AN "enemy of
vital godliness. They fell under his
ban. Metaphorically he ''cursed them
with bell, book and candle" In q
laughing fashion their retort came
quick:
Cardinals may come. cardinals may go,
But we go on forever.
Cardinal Manning, as is known Of all
men, regarded the suppression of the
Society of Jesus in 1773 as the work of
Gods hand. He likewise looked upon
its restoration in 1897 as Gods work.
But his abiding hostility to the Jesuits,
based, as he declared. on their corporate
action in England and Rome, was testi-
fed by the prediction which he uttered
on various occasions, 81 foresee another
