A merchant dreamed that he used
. page to advertise his store. and In
his dream he saw . stream of buyers
pass in at the door. They came by
twos, by tens and scores; they came
on foot and BY rail. They sent their
friends to purchase for them; they
sent big orders by mail. They
bought all he had, 30 he stopped the
ad. till he could stock up once more.
His slumbers broke and he awoke-
his dream of afiluence was DER. But
the vision bright haunted him day
and night. till he went and adver-
tised; and now he's glad. for through
his ad his dream is realized.-Prin-

II some of the men who run Q bus

sitions as others do on publicity, it's a
wonder they remain in business long

certain sum, say $1,000, invested in
q little business and is struggling
along with dull times staring him in
the face, it isn't question whether
he can afford to advertise, but
whether or not he can afford not to
advertise. If he has his money
already in the business. with the aid
of some we'll placed advertising he
stands good chance of pulling
through and getting his money out
again. If he simply sits and watches
his money get away without an
effort to save it, he Is worse than
foolish and doesn's deserve to sue

MANNERS FOR WOMEN.

The weekly known as London Punch is
running a burlesque department on ell
quette. Here are some items from a recent
issue:
The Girl In society--Music and painting
are no longer necessary accomplishments.
Bicycling and slang are. French is taken
for granted. In these days of travel III
tie Russian, Arabic, Hungarian, Basque
and Chinese are useful.
Up-to-Date Entertaining-This is not en-
tertaining at all, but merely an at home
with dull talk and weak tea.
Correspondence-Try to spell correctly. Ii
your friends live at West Kensington do
not address the envelope to East Hammer
smith. If you live there yourself or IN any
other suburb have map of the OMNIBUS
route printed on your note paper. Even
smart women travel in omnibuses now
Weddings-Tears are bad form. Most hu-
man emotions are bad form. They are out
of place in smart restaurants. The BRIDE
groom pays for whatever he cannot get
the brides father to pay for He even fur-
nishes his own house. Everything is now
supplied by caterers They Will supply the
bridegroom If necessary.
In the Omnibus-A gentlewoman does not
rest her head on the shoulder of the man
next to her. Nor does she stamp on her
neighbours toes celf-effacement Is her
characteristic. If the Prince of Wales Is
sitting opposite her in an omnibus she does
not stare at him, but looks out of the win
dow behind her. a difficult thing to do
gracefully, when the omnibus is full, but
easy enough after a little practice.
Cards and Calls-A card is thin white
piece of pasteboard. This is not generally
known. Its size is exactly 3ia by 2E inches
In the best houses the butler Is provided
with an inch measure and ordered to re-
fuse all cards of improper dimensions. Cor
rect cards are easily obtained. Messrs.
Paste & Board supply very good ones.
Dinner-If the hostess cooks the dinner
she is hot and tired when the guests arrive
In the best houses the dinner Is prepared
by a cook sometimes by a chef, or by
what l call a Gordon rouge. | don't quite
know what this is. Most people call 1t
Gordon bleu. Perhaps it is a sort of kitch-
ener. Dinners should not last for hVe
hours The signal to leave the table is
nod to the principal lady If she Is not
on the lookout you can catch her eye with
anything handy. Avoid giving the signal
too soon, for instance, just as your wealthy
bachelor uncle is slipping his port. Excellent
port is supplied by my grocer. You can
give the signal prematurely If two of the
guests seem likely to come to blows over

The Widow Must Go.

From the Washington Times.
The ak is soon to fall upon the head
of widow of former United States sem
ator, who is holding a small presidential
office. That widow is Mrs. Kenna. the wife
of the late Senator Kenna, of West Vir-
ginia. He was a young man, compare
lively, and died in his prime. He died
poor and left his family little beside his
name. Mrs Kenna was appointed post
master at Charleston W. Va, where she
has served with credit to herself and to
the great satisfaction of the people of the
community. When the administration
changed, it was not thought that any
change would be made in this office, ow
ing to the person who filed the position
but the hunger and thirst of the spoils-
men for office did not permit them to over
look this place. The demand was made
upon the republican member of congress
and upon Senator EllSins for the Office.
When 1t became known that this demand
had been made, several democratic sena-
tors and one or two broad-gauged repub-
licans urged the president to leave Mrs.
Kenna. worthy woman, in the office, and
there was an intimatiori that this would
be done. A change appears to have come
over the mind of the president, however,
for yesterday it was semi-officially an
nounced that as soon as the senate recon-
vened the name of A. o. Petty would be
sent to the senate for this place. The post
master to be Is well named.

ANTIPODEAN WIT.
Several Bright Instances Of the Retort Cour-
teouS.

From the London News.
A favorite story in a certain New South
Wales gold mining district tells how at a
political meeting there the chair was taken
by an athletic miner. The candidate dur
ing his speech was much interrupted by
hootings and rough chaff, and his chair
man was soon in a state of boiling indig-
nation. Smothering his wrath, however,
he pacfed the boys by assuring them
that at the end of the candidates speech
they should be at liberty to put any ques-
tons they chose. Accordingly, at the end
of the harangue he arose and inquired in
stentorian tones, and in a rich Irish hrogue,
HAS inny gintleman questhion TO
airsk?' A stout little Welsh miner, who
had been a conspicuous disturber OF the
peace of the evening, shuffied slowly up
the steps of the platform. But at the top
he was met by the chairman, who, without
the slightest warning, delivered u terrific
left-and-righter, and sent the Welshman
sprawing on his back. Now" roared the
chairman has inny other ginteman a
questhon to airsk?''-and there was no re-
sponse
Mr.. Asphalt, clever and reckless bar
rister, famous in the sixties in Victoria
for his fun and audacity, was addressing
an election meeting in Ballarat, the gold

to that time in his career when much
whisky and soda had wrought palpable

the quick reply. 1t carried the meeting.
Sir Rupert Stieve-we may call him So
an eloquent colonial barrister now living,
is as clever lawyer as Asphalt was,
though of very different habits of life He
is also very bitter opponent of the min
istry of one OF the jubilee premiers. Speak
ing at public meeting not long ago he
referred TO the complaint that all his
charges against the premier were vague
and indefinite: Ladies and gentlemen,
there is at least one charge which l have
made in season and out of season, which
l still make and about which there can be
no kind of doubt. What is that?"-and
he paused dramatically. six and eigh-

the Australian Review of Reviews. He
was a member of a colonial parliament,
wherein one day a certain eccentric and
elderly member named Taylor insisted on
making a speech on education The ora
ton consisted of a hyperbolical eulogy of
the board of schools in Mr. Taylor's con-
stituency. Dr. Fitchett interjected some
jocose expression of doubt "Why, sir"

The Latest Cure
For AiIinq Women

It is refreshing to learn that the most
recent fashionable cure is a cheerful one
that may be termed even hilarious and
exhilerating.
1t is always comforting to hear that there
Is a hope of any more brightness any
more joyousness to come into the lives of
men and women, especially those who are
afflicted with many ailments Sc many
physical troubles are traceable directly to
mental conditions that the late device called
the "mirth cure' will necessarily prove of
incalculable value as a remediable agent to
a large class OF humanity who insist upon
sitting despairingly within THE region of
shadows. An exchange in regard to this
recent health fad says:
While New York is experimenting with
flower baths. pettieoated Paris is going mad
over the "mirth cure" which IS based upon
that good old-tirne saw, laugh and grow
fat" and which. therefore, is not to be
desplsed, inasmuch as jolly, bright wo-
man is a treasure and a, solace in this stu
pid old world of worries and cold weather
gas bills.
The priaciplc Of the laugh-and-grcw-f
notion is that merriment, taking things
good -naturedly, seeing the humorous side
of all things human, no matter how doleful
or tragic they may be--all go toward help
ing Il woman to keep herself healthy and
happy. "a merry heart dooth good 'ikr u
medicine" some wise old proverb builder
once said. And he spoke with marvellous
knowing.
No cross, fretty, lll-natured woman can

as the fact that bricks can he made with
