"PRoF.p JOHN L. SULLIVAN may not be very good rhetorieian, but he can beat Senator John J. Ingalls, "all holler" in reporting prize fight.

Electric Railroad Statistics.

Electric railways in Europe formed the subject of some interesting statistics recently embodied in a report sent to the United States government by Vice Consul J. r. Monaghan, at Chemnita. Germany. According to these, the num- Der of such railways was increased during the year 1895 from 20 to Ill, |, while the total length was raised from about 4S5 to 560 miles. the number of cars from 1,236 to l,747, and the horse power from little over is, 900 to it. tie over 25, 1000. Of all the European countries, Germany, according to Mir Monaghan's fgureg, gtood at the head. with about 250 mites to her credit, and an equipment of g57 cars and 7.194 horsepower.

WHEN a man asks an editor to sunuress news, he not only asks him to throw away a part of his stock in trade, but he requests him to violate contract with his subscribers and the general public. This is a thing which no conscientious man will do. His refusal may possibly make few enemies, but in the end he will lose nothing by keeping faith with the public. It is well to be obliging, but better to be honest-Exchange. And it is remarkable tact that those who have the least right to re. quest 0 newspaper to suppress news are usually the quickest ones about doing it. It is strange, but they never seem to think about their local paper until they get into trouble or run for an office

They Love Dante.

A magnificent upper chamber of the municipal palace tthe Palazzo Veoehio) in Florence is set apart in memory of the great poet Dante. To it each of the 69 provinces and all of the larger cities and towns of united Italy have con tributed banner i'll his honor. There are over 300 of these banners ip all, and the donors. in eager emulation, have tried to make each offering more bear.- tiful than the others The banners aru of the differing colors of the provinces and bear their arms in exquisite eu. broidery or in paintings by the first liv- ing artists
 The feryor of the homage paid here to the immortal Italian poet stirs the heart of even the passing stranger. Whatever the jealousies or arrangement of these people, beside his tomb they are united. .-Youth's Companion.

DEPARTMENT STORES.

The Prominent Part That Profuse AdveF~
 tising Plays In Their Success.
 Aside from departures in policy and innovations on 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 is the litera- ture Of the great stoie, the other its art. The shop windows are 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 well as attract customers to the store who are new to it. Frequently the head advertising man is the general manager of the store. Whether this Is the case or not, be is a general supervis or of the establishment, with complete knowledge of it's ever changing detail. Every day he holds consultations with heads of departments to find out what particular lines of articles they want boomed, and about those articles he writes alluring statements for the shop ping public to read sometimes arrang ing for illustrations with them.
 The amount of money spent for adyer- Using is appalling when looked upon as an expense One great store in Philadel phia spends on an average $1, 1000 every day in the year, and good many spend $500 day. The advlrtising 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. nouneement. The proprietor of great store in Brooklyn does this invariably and thinks the time well spent which the work daily requires The natl de. partment tends to enlarge this expendi. ture, as the store reaches out to the us. most parts of the country. and the fu. ture will no doubt see an even greater development in the effort to secure mail customers in the small towns and in country places.

It believes in giving it's sub scribers the legitimate news in a truthful manner, and it also believes that there is enough calamity in the world already without manufacta1- ing tales of horror with no found- ation in fact.
