BERLIN, Aug. 5.-If any proof of the
immense improvement in the relations
between France and Germany were need
ed it would be seen in the enthusiasm
with which the projected visit of the Nor
man theatrical troupe to Paris during the
Exhibition has been greeted.
Frau Agnes SOrma, a famous actress,
who is at the head of the undertaking,
writes, that she is overwhelmed with let
tiers, both from Germany and France.
There is therefore every chance that
masterpieces of the German stage will in
a few months time be heard in the
French capital The programme will in
clude selections from the classics per-
formed by the best company that can be
got together.

LONDON, Aug. 5.-The mimic war
between England and Ireland, which
began last Saturday, was brought to
a close to-day. Sir Compton Domville,
with the British fleet, won, to use the
language of the turf, in canter. With
the detached squadon was the Europa,
which had been fitted in hasty man
ner with the Marconi system Of wire
less biography. In another portion Of
the fleet the Alexandria. Sir Compton
Domville's flagship, and the cruiser
Juno on which was Signor Marconi
himself, had been also fitted with the
system.
The Juno was ordered to get into
touch as soon as possible with the Eu-
ropa on Monday afternoon. 1t was
little after 8 when the instrument in
Signor Marconi's cabin gave some
feeble ticks, and then message was
raped out that the Europa had
reached her convoy and was to COM
municate news to the flagship.
When the Juno received this mes
sage she was more than forty miles
from the Europa and more than sew
enty from the convoy. Turning about,
she proceeded back on her course, and
at half past T. when still more than
thirty miles from the flagship, she re-
peated the intelligence she had received
from the Europa.
A second message, sent in the same
way, is mentioned by the correspond
ent, who estimated the distances of
the Alexandria at the time as thirty
miles from the Juno, f1fty-five miles
from the Europa and lightweight miles
from the convoy. He says-and every
one must agree with him-that 1t is
yeritable triumph for Signor Marconi.

STRANGE WAYS CF ADVER-
TISERS.

There's nothing on earth so mysteri-
ously funny as an advertisement. The
prime first and last object of an
ad is to draw custom. 1t was not.
and never will be, designed for any
other purpose. So the merchant waits
till the busy season comes, and mis- store
Is so full of customers that he can't
get his hat Off, ana then rushes off to
the printer and goes in for advertising.
When the dull season gets along and
there is no buying, ana he wants TO sell
his goods so bad he cannot pay his rent,
he stops advertising. That is some of
them do; but occasionally a level-headed
merchant does more of it and scoops in
the business, while his neighbors are
making II ortgagcs to pay the gas bills.
There are times when you couldn't stop
people from buying everything in the
store II you planted cannon behind the
door, and that's the time when the ad is
sent on its holy mission. 1t makes light
work for advertising for chalk sign on
the sidewalk would do all that was
needed, and have a half-holiday every
day in the week. But who wants to IA
vor an ad? 1t is built to do hard work,
and should be sent out on the dull days,
when a customer has to be knocked
down with hard facts and kicked insensi-
BILE with bankrupt reductions, and
dragged in with irresistible slaughter OF
prices, before he will spend q cent. That's
the aim and end of advertising, and II
you ever open a store don't try TO get
them to come when they are sticking out
Of the windows, but give them your ad
right between the eyes in the duh sea-
son, and you will wax rich and own a
fast horse, and perhaps be able to smoke
a cigar once, or twice a year.
Write this down where you'll fall over
1t every day, The time to draw busi-
ness is when YOU want business and
not when YOU have more business than
you can attend to.-John Wanamaker.
