SHINPLAS STEERS.

Yreka Journal: We are to have
shinplasters again. 1t is understood
that the Treasury will soon issue $10,-
100000 of fractional paper currency in
denominations of % and so cents, and
perhaps smaller, to meet the large de-
mand, principally from the West. The
initiative came from Nebraska in the
shape of a circular addressed to num-
erous Congressman, asking them to
favor a bill embodying provision for
the issue of small paper currency The
suggestion has met with favor in the
Treasury Department, and it is said
that in a short time S1O,000,000 of this
currency will be placed on sale in the
various Postoffices where the demand
is greatest. The main object to be sub
served is to facilitate the transmits
sion of small amounts of money in let
ters for the benefit of the country
people making small mail purchases at
a distance. Without some such con-
veniences, small sums are sent in sill
yer and are easily detected in letters,
or a postal order must be purchased,
involving unnecessary expense.

Riverside Press: The last Legisla-
ture passed IAN Act to provide for the
inspection of dairies, factories of dairy

health of the stock; to prevent the sale
of milk and the products of milk drawn
from diseased animals; to prevent the
spread of infectious diseases common
to stock and to appropriate money
therefor" The law was approved by
the Governor, and $13,500 was appro-
priated to carry out it's provisions, of
which So, $50 was to be used from July
1, 1899, to January /, 1900. And now

Marry and Part For a Year.

Among the many peculiar customs
prevalent among the people Of Central
America Is that Of parting for II year
after the marriage ceremony has been
solemnized. This custom has prevailed
among the Jarnos from time immemo-
rial. There is no courtship allowed to
be carried on between the parties prior
to the wedding. When a mar selects a
woman, he obtains the consent Of the
parents on both sides, and If this Is
given they are at once married.
The reason. however, for their not
living together as man and wife for
n year after marriage Is In order to
permit Of the parties visiting and
staying with their respective friends
in different parts Of the country. which
is n customary thing and occupies the
time specified. Ninety-nine out Of 100
of these marriages turn out we'll.

PROFITS OF ADVERTISING.

The profits of advertising are not direct, as are the returns from a sale. Nevertheless, when the proper medium for bringing an advertisement before the public IS selected the profits are usually immediate, although, of course, they come in a roundabout manner. If at times they seem delayed 1t Is ba- cause the merchants announce ment either has not reached the people whose patronage he seeks or because there is no pressing demand for the special line of wares which he may have for sale. In either case the profit is sure to come eventually; for th9 purpose of advertising is to awaken interest in the trades mans goods, and once having aroused that interest the wary merchant will perceive the ne- cessity of sustaining it-a result sure to be attained by a persist ent use of great newspapers advertising columns.- Burling- ton News
