says the Age OF Steel, "knows how to
advertise and make success of it. The
trouble with most advertisers is that
they don't make business of advertise

would fail in business just as they do in

same way. Any man will admit that he
can not sell his own goods to one who

of advertising, he will say, But advertis-

advertising does no good? To advance
such an argument is equivalent to
admitting that the more people know
your goods the less they buy them. In
that event there is something the mat

The Queen Of Water Craft.

A bigger ship than was ever before
built has now been ordered. She will
be launched within a year and will
run on the White Star line between
and Liverpool. This leviathan will be
called the Oceanic and she will be
thirteen feet longer than the Great
Eastern the biggest boat that ever
was constructed.
The biggest ships now float are all
considerably smaller than this new
ocean monster which is to be built in
the north Ireland. She will be LA
feet longer than the new Pennsylvania
of the Hamburg-American line. and
eighty-four feet longer than either the
Campania or the Lucania. This
monster ship could carry the entire
audience of the Metropolitan opera
house across the ocean.
The Oceanic will have beam of 70
feet. She will burn less than half the
coal-the famous Great Eastern con-
sumed and will cross the ocean in less
than half the time the Eastern requir-
ed. The Oceanic is intended to cross
the Atlantic in less than seven days
and land passengers in Liverpool OF
New York every Wednesday. She
will be fitted with quadruple expansion
engines of not less tnan 10000 horse
power.

Dispensing With Fish Plates.

A notable patent has been taken out
by Geo. Ashford, of Newport, Mont,
and which appeals to railway engineers.
The improvement is in the method of
joining the two ends of rails, either on
railways or tramways. Instead OF
having, as formerly, two fish plates
bolted together through the rails, by
this patent process the ends of the
rails are held securely together by
means of firm shoe, which can be
easily and quickly placed in position,
and many in fact be slipped over the
ends of rails whilst a road is being
made or repaired, and without boiling
the rails are firmly held in position.
The new arrangement not only main
tains the lateral rigidity of the rails,
but also retains the ends together to
prevent them from displacement
longitudinally. They have been in
use on one of the Welsh railways for
some months, and the permanent way

Eastern Oyster.Farming.

The American system has grown ur
without direct encouragement from
the government, as the result of pri.
vate enterprise. The French people
are generally held to be the originator;
OF the system, but this is an error
Several years before Coste began his
experiments, the oystermen of the
East River began the practice of shell
ling the beds at the spawning season
IN order toincrease the supply. Three
years before Coste began his expert
ments, the State of New York, in 1855,
enacted law to secure to private
farmers the fruit of their labors, and
a number of persons engaged in the
new industry on an extensive scale.
The industry has grown steadily from
that time, and the East River is now
the scene of the most painstaking and
scientific oyster-culture in the United
States.
Thus a modern industry has arisen
by which the world is being furnished
with an increasing supply of ore of its
favorite foods. But oyster-planting
and oyster-farming are still in their
infancy, and are yet inadequate to the
immense demand. Year after year
these interests are being extended and
the time is not far away when by these
methods oysters will be produced at
such moderate prices as to readily
meet the needs of the world.-Calvin
Dill Wilson, in April Lippincott's.

A Fine Claim Lost.

1t will interest many to read an ole
story, one that is known to but few, re
garding mining in the Olympics. 1t,
SIX years ago that man came in from
The mountains, who had spent many
weary months in the solitary fast mes:
IN an eager search for gold. He
brought In sack of specimens, He
was closemounthed old fellow, but
went into Hunt & Snyder's and there
showed what he had. 1t was the
prettlest quartz in the world, the gold
standing right out of it. The man
was looking for an acquaintance who
was not at the time in the city, so the
prospector would not divulge the parti
cular locality of his extremely rich
ind, seeming to be afraid that he did
so he would loose it. A number of
citizens offered him a good stiff price,
but still he held out letting no one
know IN what portion OF the hills he
had made his discovery. He went to
Seattle to look for other friends, who
would he said assist him in the deve-
lopment and while in the city event"
violently insane. He was taken before
the court and sent to Steilacoom where
after short incarceration, he died,
without having had lucid moment.
The specimens were very fine, such
ore running way up in the thousands
per ton, but absolutely no trace has
yet been discovered of the old fellows
locations though many have roamed
the hills often with the end in view of
finding the workings. That they will
be found is certain, though consider
ing the lapse of time and the nature
OF the country, it would seem foolish
to hunt particularly for especially
when as good properties exist all over
the hills.

Alfalfa Leaves for Tea.

They claim to have good substi-
tute for the finest brands of Japan teas
in alfalfa leaves, properly picked and
cured. The advocates of alfalfa tea
claim that its continuous use prove a
great benefit to the human system, as
it serves as sort of tonic and correct
i've, and will keep one in state OF
splendid health without the aid of
doctors or drugs. 1t is estimated that
the people of our country demand
from the Oriental tea trade about 49,
100000 lbs of tea per year. The i'm
mense expenditure of millions of dol
lars annually for this one article of di-
ct, when supplanted by the alfalfa leaf,
which is produced so luxuriantly all
over the arid and semi-arid districts of
the west, means big bonanza for
somebody and a good thing for Amer
lean industry. But then-it's only a
substitute, and Americans do not take
to substitutes. They like the genuine

Such a Simple Plan.

The discriminating duties policy for
the Protection of our shipping in the
foreign trade is one of the simplest
things in the world. There is no deep
mystery about it; it requires no long
study for its comprehension. 1t
simply means that, in order to create
a preference for the use of American
ships in the carrying OF our imports,
the duty will be higher on imports in
foreign ships than it will be on i'm
ports in American ships. The policy
of discriminating duties proposes to
for our ships in the foreign trade pre-
cisely the same thing that our Tariff
does for such of our land industries
as are subject to foreign competition,
