Development and Value of Advertis-
ing.

From SelfCulture.
Advertising is, indeed. one of the great
developments of the century. It has revo-
lutionized business and made 1t possible to
accomplish in few years what otherwise
would have taken generations to compass
Today the advertiser, through the medium
of the public press, introduce his arti-
Gle to the entire public almost literally at
a bound. Such a servant at the sellers
elbow has naturally made business vastly
different from what 1t was several hundred
years ago. 1t is no longer necessary, as it
was in previous generations, to confine
ones commercial transactions to a limited
area. In fact, the manufacturer of TODAY
regards the world as his field; and there
are quite a number Of proprietary arti-
cles. widely and favorably known in every
quarter Of the civilized world, which have
been introduced during the lifetime of their
present proprietors, who are men only In
the prime Of life! Without advertising by
which 1t Is possible to reach and influence
hundreds Of thousands of persons simulta-
neously, such result could not be accom-
plished In several generations, If indeed 1t
could be accomplished at all. Nor has this
advertising benefited the seller only 1t
has brought to the knowledge Of the buyer
the hundreds OF improvements and ara.

Do Not Know Each Other


I may ftly pause here in my arraignment
OF the Spaniards to say something OF the
conception entertained OF the Americans by
the rank and file of the Filipino army
Many people in this country are apt to
credit these ignorant natives with a knowl-
edge OF the condition OF affairs in foreign
lands, which even most of the Intelligent
and cultivated people in the Philippine Is
lands 30 not possess. If any one such
feel surprised at this statement let him
stop for a moment and think how little the
Americans. with all their culture know of
these Islands and their inhabitants RIIt

A Modern Weapon.

An ingenious Chinese military man
has recently invented weapon which
the mandarins at Peking think will
cause terror in the hearts of the in
vaders, and an order has been issued
for the manufacture of large supply
to be distributed throughout the
army. According to description
that appears in the Chinese papers,
this terrible weapon is combination
of spear and shovel. At one end of
a pole there is large, sharp pike,
such as knights Of medieval times
used to carry. AT the other end
there is shovel, or spade, with a
blade about eight inches wide, which
can be used both as an intrenching
stool and as a weapon. 1t is especially
handy in beheading prisoners, and
all the Chinese soldier has to do is to
stick the pike at one end of his pole
through the body of his enemy, and
then turn around and cut off the head
with the shovel. Instead of sending
sthe inventor of this terrible weapon
to The Hague to represent China at
the Peace Conference, the Empress
Dowager rewarded him with a button
of the second class.

Nep Method Of Printing.

A photographer of Kyoto is re-
ported to have invented new method
of printing. He claims that by the
use of photography, lead plates
printed off by means of the ordinary
press, can be prepared. The chief
feature of the invention appears to
consist in the promptness with which
the plates can be prepared and the
cheapness of the process. 1t is said
that plate as large as a tatami &c
feet by - can be prepared in three
minutes, and that the cost of printing
is one third that of the letter-press
printing. But the new method is
not without its drawbacks. AS the
Photographic method is made use of,
the preparation of the plates cannot
be made at night, and the inventor is
now tasking his ingenuity in trying
to discover the means of getting over
the difficulty by the utilization of
electricity. Experiments on the new
method of printing are now going on
in Awaji-cho, Kanda, Tokyo.

Oriental Humor.

Some of the SMILES used by ORR.
entail advertisers are as remarkable
for humor and naivete as even those
of the immortal Sam Weller. Here
are one or two specimens which have
recently appeared in Eastern news
papers:
Goods dispatched as expedtiously
as cannon ball."
Parcels done up with as much
care as that bestowed on her husband
by loving wife"
Paper tough as elephants hide v
"The print of our books is clear as
crystal; the matter elegant as a sing
ing girl
Customers treated as politely as
by the rival steamship companies
"Silks and satins smooth as a
lady's cheek, and colored like the

Manufacture of Tea in America.

The Osaki Mainichi learns that a
quantity OF green tea of singular
quality recently appeared on the New
York market. A Japanese tea expert
to whom specimens of it were sub.
mitted failed entirely to understand
where it could have come from, but,
on further investigations being made,
it became known that it was from an
extensive tea garden cultivated by
botanist in South Carolina.

BUYING a Dress in japan.

When ladies go to buy dress in
Japan they tell the shopkeeper their
age, and if they are married or not,
because there are special designs for
the single and double relations Of
life, as we'll as for ages. The conse-
quence of this painful custom is that
you can tell the age of every lady
you meet, and know whether she is
married, precisely as though she
were labeled.

The Only Thing Left.

A grandfather, well known in the
British House Of Commons, was chat
ting amicably with his little grand
daughter, who was snugly ensconced
on his knee. What makes your hair
so white grandpa?" the little miss
queried. 81 am very old, my dear; was

a painful disregard of the truth. "Oh,
are you Noah p NO" Are you Shem,
then?" mo, am not Shem." "Are you

one, who was fast nearing the limit of
her biblical knowledge, you must be

30 this query also, for the old gentle
man inwardly wondered what the OUT
come would be. But, grandpa. II you
are not Noah, or Shem, or Ham, or

And by my side delights to stay?
Nobody!

Spreads out the papers with such care,
And lays my slippers ready there?

When anxious cares my heart Cypress,
Who whispers hopes Of happiness?

To change at once my single state,
