ADVERTISING.
1t Has RevOIutiOnized Business and
Benefited Humanity.

1t Has RevOIutiOnized Business and
Benefited Humanity.
Advertising is indeed one of the great
developments of the age. 1t has revo-
lutionized business and made it possi-
BILE to acc 0mplish in few years what
otherwise would have taken genera.
tions to compass. Today the advertls-
er, through the medium of the public
press, can introduce his article to the
entire public almost literally at a
bound. Such servant at the sellers
elbow has naturally made business
vastly different from what 1t was sew
eral hundred years ago.
1t is no longer necessary, as it was
in previous generations, TO confine
ones commercial transactions to a linn
tied area. In fact, the manufacturer
of today regards the world as his field,
and there are quite number of pro-
prietary articles, widely and favorably
known In every quarter of the civilized
world, which have been introduced dur
ing the lifetime of their present pro-
prietors, who are men only in the
prime of life
Without advertising, by which it is
possible to reach and influence hun
dreds of thousands of persons simulta-
neously, such result could not be ac-
complished in several generations, if
indeed it 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 articles by which
life can be made more pleasant, by
which the health can be preserved, the
palate gratified, the intellect fed and
satisfied.
1t is no eXaggeration to say that no
force has conduced more to knit the
world closely together nor made our
mutual interdependence more apparent.
ut is but the simple truth to assert"
says recent writer, that the loss OF
the information which the advertise
ments furnish would be one of the
greatest imaginable misfortunes to civ
ilization. Self Culture.

SHELVED HIS INVENTION.

An Experience Which Taught the
Mechanical Expert a Lesson.
One of the best mechanical engineers
in New Orleans told an interesting
story apropos of the tribulations of in
ventors. about three years ago" he
said, 81 got up little device that
greatly simplified the working of
certain type of pump. l took out
patents that cost me in the nelghbor-
hood of $500, including attorneys fees,
and finally submitted the thing to
big manufacturing concern in the
north. The proprietors at once con-
ceded the merit of the invention and
offered me $500 down and royalty of
$125 ON each one used. The cash pay
ment amounted to nothing, for 1t really
fell short of covering my time and ex-
penses, but the royalty was generous,
and l figured it out that it would yield
me an income of $1,000 or $4,000 for
several years-perhaps longer, it de-
pended on how soon something better
entered the field.
Accordingly, / accepted the PROPOSE
ton and transferred all my right Now,
how much do you think actually re-
ceived? Not a penny! No, l haven't
been cheated; at least, all the accounts
have been perfectly straight. The
trouble is they never put the device on
the market. They simply stuck the
patents and drawings in n pigeonhole
and there they remain to this day.
why did they do it, did you ask? To
save money. The public is very well
suited with their pump as it stands,
and it is doubtful If they could get any
more for it with my Improvement add
ed. Such step would merely cut down
the net profit, so they prefer to let well
enough alone. 1t was necessary, of
course, to get my invention safely
shelved, or 1t might have been taken
up by some enterprising rival, and the
only earthly reason for spending $500
on the thing was to put it out of the
way. 1t was rather rough on me- to
be sure, but the experience was valu-
able, and / won't get caught that way
again." - New Orleans Times-Demo-

A Good Shot.

A local sportsman, who has the repu-
tation of being very bad shot, recent
ly invited some of his friends to dine
with him. Before dinner he showed
them target painted on the barn door,
with bullet in the bullseye. This he
claimed to have shot at 1000 yards
distance. AS nobody believed him, he
offered to bet the price of an oyster
supper on it.
On one of his guests accepting the
wager, he produced two witnesses,
whose veracity could not be ques-
toned, to prove his assertion. AS they
both said that he had done what he
claimed he won the bet. At dinner
the loser of the wager asked how his
host had managed to fire such an ex-
cellent shot. The host answered, 81
shot the bullet at the door at a distance
Of 1000 yards and then painted the
target around it."-Cincinnati En-
Quirer.

Ground Floor Bedrooms.

There is danger in the porous charac-
ter of plaster ceilings, which are
often very thin indeed. The ordinary
ceiling is "only a porous diaphragm
permeable by gases with considerable
r"eedom." The vitiated air Of sitting
rooms therefore frequently finds its
way through into bedrooms. The Brit
ish Medical Journal asks any skeptic
to compare his bodily and mental SEN
sations after sleeping in such room
and in one situated over a similar room
well ventilated and not occupied or
Illuminated by gas during the even
ing" The remedy, it says, is to have
bedrooms on the ground floor and liv-
ing, working and cooking rooms up
stairs. But how about oise?-London

EnrIisb officer. Wear Armor

Many officers of the British army
are wearers of armor. AS general
rule the mail Is inclosed in a leather
casing, which is sewed inside the
tunic, so as to be invisible unless the
garment is picked to pieces. And the
same with helmets-a similar device is
fixed in the lining, so as to give addi-
tional protection in case of need. Some
officers are not above wearing mail
vests underneath their tunics and per-
fectly oblivious of their comrades, who
although they may scoff in times of
peace, would only be too glad to don
one themselves when in the middle Of
hostilities. The majority of the max
er's customers are officers, because the
suits are very expensive, costing about
10 guineas each.-Regiment.

GLASSES FOR THE EYES.
The Reason They Are Worn by So
Many Persons Nowadays.

The Reason They Are Worn by So
Many Persons Nowadays.
The question is often asked, particu-
larly by those who can recall the Gus
toms and experiences of % years ago,
"Why do SO many persons nowadays
wear glasses?" The answer is easy
"The increase in the number of spec
tacles worn is not to be regarded as
an evidence of modern degeneration
of the eyes, but rather that long felt
necessity has been met" For it should
be remembered that within the past
quarter of a centary much has been
learned about the value of glasses, and
the range of their application and use
fulness has been enormously extended.
OF course the eyes need more help now
than formerly, as the amount of work
they are required to do is much greater
than at any previous period in the
worlds history. The sewing machine
and many other inventions of it's class
save the labor of the hands only to
add to that required of the eyes.
New employments, new amusements
and new fashions are continually be-
ing introduced to increase the exac-
tions laid upon these sensitive and
delicate organs. The steady decrease
Of illiteracy, together with the general
cheapness of literature and a spread
of a taste for it, the enormous circula-
tion of novel, magazine and newspa-
per, the ever increasing use Of artificial
illumination, all combine to Overtax
the eyes and to weaken or possibly de-
stroy the sight unless the required aid
and protection be supplied through
every means at our disposal. Thus it
happens that the some time luxury of
properly adapted glasses has come to
be recognized and understood by very
many Of the present generation as one
Of the real necessities of their lives

The time is fully ripe for some

Legislation against the umbrella. In
Chicago, it is used as a deadly
weapon, and in all countries the UNI
brella is a source of domestic and
social infelicity. 1t is subject
hard to handle when the wind of op-
position arises, but when properly
covered, it presents bul~ark
against any torrents that may pour
upon it. By all means the people
ought to put the umbrella down.
