Jokes with whiskers on them some
will say you ought to be in luna

thing TO smile at, they say you are
a pessimistic fossil. If you spread
yourself and write a good, original
article they say it is stolen. If you
reprint an article they say you can't
write. If you say deserving word

Incandescelit Gas-Lam ps.

The action of the mantle or wick
like appendage of these popular
burners has been lately investigated.
The high Illuminating power of the
oxides composing the mantle is now
attributed to- catalytic or surface
action of one of the constituents
called Germ. This earth promotes
combustion or burning by it's mere
presence, and its action is supposed
to increase the absolute temperature
of the fame, and consequently the
light giving power of the mantle
heated by it. There is but a small
amount of Germ in the mantle, but
enough to have this effect.
The principle constituent is Thor
ia, which operates to give a very
fine fibre, or state of division of the
mantle. This new theory relegates
to the back ground the former doc
trine of luminescence as applied TO
the case in question.-Youth's Com

Fifty years ago the manufacturer
marketed his product through the
iobber; the jobber in turn sold to
the wholesaler, the wholesaler to
the retailer, and the retailer to the
consumer. The producer was as
completely cut off from the con-
sumner as if each lived on different
planet. The producer was absolutely
at the mercy of the lobber. The lat
ter could make him or break him.
1t was a hopeless position for the
manufacturer to be in. There was
no help for him. The octopus had
him fast and sure, and struggle
ever SO hard he could not free him
self.
All this is changed today, and
the change has been brought about
chiefly by talking to the people
through what is known as the adj
vertisement. It is the advertisement
more than anything else, more than
everything else, that is responsible,
and to which the credit belongs,
for bringing the producer and the
consumer closer together. 1t has
driven the jobber out of the field.
The wholesaler is still with us, but
not by large majority does he
control the manufacturer. He can
no longer dictate to him; can no
longer command excessive profits.
Concentration, too, has played
part, and an important part, in the
passing of the iobber and the whole
saler. The Standard Oil Company,
for example. sells almost every
where to the retailer, and there are
other large trusts that do the same.
The trusts and the advei tisement
combined have crushed out the
iobber and have broken the grasp of
the wholesaler, thus saying to the
people the jobber's profit; and in
many cases the wholesalers profit,
and in not few cases even the re-
tailor's profit, as certain lines OF
goods. today are being marketed
direct to the people from the man
ufacturer. A notable example OF
this is found in the shoe trade. The
means of reaching the consumer
by the manufacturer, Of doing bus
ness direct with him, is the adver-
tisetnent. It puts him in touch with
the people everywhere.

Prof. E. B. Leckenby, an expert
Of the U. s. Department Of Agricul-
ture, visited Vineland (the two.
years old colony near Lewiston,
Idaho) the other day. Prof. Leck-
enby had four years experience as
chief adviser and irrigation expert
to the great Kern County Land
Company, Of California, and has
spent many years in study Of colo
ny work on irrigated lands, 1t is
therefore of great interest to know
that he endorses the methods of the
management as being the best that
he has seen in vogue in any similar
enterprise, and worthy of emulation
BY managers of other companies.
The policy of the Vineland company
is to encourage and assist the thrift
ty settler in all proper ways; not
with money but with easy payments
for the lands, furnishing employ
ment for. surplus labor. and especi-
ally in giving each settler the bene-
fit of years of study and experience
in irrigation farming, and home
building, while never interfering
with mans independence in
thought and action. Careful re-
srtictions in the contracts and deeds
mutually protect all OF the settlers,
as, well as the company, and are
found to work well in practice.

Detroit Tribune: Nearly three

The men are small, brown, sinewy

are to be found, and if they should
become friendly to the American
government the islands would make
sgood recruiting grounds for sailors.
The Filipinos in general are seri-
GUS race. Their sense of humor is
but little developed. Adults seldom
smile, and they take their pleasures
seriously: Bull fighting. although
introduced in the islands, has never
been popular, bnt the natives go
wild over cock fight. Cock fight
ing, music; religious professions
and dramatic dancing are the chief
amusements, and the natives signify
their pleasure more by lively
earnestness than by actual mirth.
They are extremely fond of band
music and keep up to date on pop
ular airs, but their lack of hpmor
leads them into strange incohgruties
It is rather startling TO see a solemn
religious procession moving gravely
through the streets while the bands
reel off GEL CAPTAIN" "My Gal is a
High born Lady" or something
equally Incompatible; but music is
a solemn, mysterious, beautisul
thing to the native Filipino and he
sees nofun in it. Truly, the Amer

them in assimilating these people,
whether "benevolently" or otherwise.
