 Women Read Advertisements.

It is clalmed, says the Philadelphia Press, that the women are the only read CTS of advertisements. In measure this is true, and necessarily so, for womep are the larger purchasers for the house. hold and spend most of the money that is earned by business, professional and working men.
 Even ill the larger transactions 1t will probably surprise dealers to learn how influential voice women have. The purchase of home is almost invariably determined by the women of the house. hold and in nine cases out of ten their information as to the situation and de- sirahility of purchase is gained from the new spapers.
 And every furniture dealer, dry goods dealer, groceryman and keeper of any sort of store knows that he must ap- peal to the women if he wishes to sell his goods. One of the largest elements in the success Of one of the greatest mer- chants in the world today is the fact that he knows how to appeal attractlveiy through the advertisement to the wom. an.

HOLDING HIM BACK.
Why an Enterprising Man Has No Chance
 to Become R Millionaire,

Hummer is one of our citizens who live well and do nothing. He tolls not, neither does he spin, and vet he and his family live i'll comfort that is not many removes from luxury. This has subjected Blummer to adverse crit. icisln, which fairly laoerates his sensi- tive feelings, and he unbosomed himself to a few friends the other evening while they were enjoying the good things he keeps on tap.
 There's not lazy bone ill my body, " he began aggressiyely "I'd rather work than eat, and I've always thought that had great business head on me But the records against me. My father set me up ill mercantile business. and when had balance struck at the end of year there was not enough left to make decent assignment. On his death came into handsome fortune, and just thought I'd show my rela. tives how l had been misiudged by in- yesting secretly i'll a great southern land scheme. welt down gleefully to iook over my new purchase and gloat over my prospects. Most of my real es. tate MS at the bottom of lake, and what was en dry land wouldn raise a hill ef corn to the acre.
 Ny brother got me nice position as travelling salesman. and I had sold whole carloads of goods at half price be- fore the house could head me off. They told rie .4iat I must sell to hold my place, and that was what I was doing, but they discharged me SO hard that never got rightly over it. Mother bought me farm and again started to aston ish my folks by my business shrewd- ness. l traded the farm for the state right to patent fence. All I got out of that WAS judgment against me in an infringement case. Mother left me what have now. with proviso that should forfeit every thing if I tried to do business of any kind. That's why have no chance to make myself mil lionaire. "-Detroit Free Press.

MELTED SNOW POWER.
Swiss Towns That Utilize the Mountain
 Streams.

Swiss Towns That Utilize the Mountain
 Streams.
 Besides a considerable number ot large water power installations Switzer- land is full of small power plants, nearly every town ill that land of mountains and waterfalls being w.si supplied with power from tue white coal, :" as the melting snow OH the mountain sides has well been called When there are nc large streams, many small ones are i'm pounded and collected ill reservoirs on the hillsides and it is rare to find q place of any size which Is not well lighted by the power of some mountain stream
 At Montreux the electric tramway gets its power in this way, and from the old Roman town of Veyey to the me di@yal castle of Chillon one may ride in trolley car propelled by the power of an insignificant little stream which may or may not be noticed when climbing up the hillsides just above.
 The capabilities of this general util- ization of natural power are beginning to be understood everywhere, and, with the appreciation of the possibilities Of the best methods of long distance trans mission, the development of many noun tain streams must surely come.
