oANIcs AND RELIGIOUS BOOKS,
Publisher sAyU That There IL No
Demand for Them in Prosper
Gus Times.

There Is one kind of business, ac-
rording TO New York man prominent
In 1t, that does not enjoy the exist
ing easy financial conditions. 1t is
that of publishing devotional and re-
ligious literature. This publisher ex.
planned this anomalous condition as
follows, says the New York Times:
"When everybody Is prosperous
there is no very great demand for our
publications. People are happy, and
they do not 60 to church to any great
extent. Preachers will tell you that
church attendance is never so good in
prosperous times as Il is in periods
of financial straits.
Let a panic come on, however. AT
first our business feels II as keenly
as any other line. People suddenly
cease buying everything except what
they are obliged to have AS times
fail to improve, people take moro to
going 10 church. Attendance in
creases very per>sptIbly. In few
weeks we can ted II in our business.
There is greatly Increased demand
for devotional books OF all kinds. The
business increases, and at the very
height of the financial troubles we do
the largest business. As times get
better, you can see our trade IN this
line of publications gradually drop off,
until, when prosperity again canes
round, we settle down TO a normal
business quite different from the
boom we had been enjoying"

A New London Organization.

An organization In England is
known as "Scapa," the word being
made up of the initial letters of the
words Society for Checking Abuses
of Public Advertising" The members
of the association are opposed to the
placing of glaIing business announce
ments on picturesque rocks, along
rustic roadways, on buses and on
huge billboards. They declare that
the newspaper Is the proper place for
advertisements, since the latter are
intended to convey information OF q
news character. Moreover, they say,
better results can be achieved by
newspaper advertisements than by
Objectionable signs and posters.-N,

elaborate advertisement ever sent out

lNERVE WASTE"

One OF the most helpful books on nerve
weakness ever issued is that entitled Nerve
Waste" by Or. Sawyer, of San Francisco, now
in its fifth thousand. This work OF an eXper-
fenced and reputable physician, is in agreeable
contrast to the vast sum OF false teaching
which prevails on this interesting subject. 1t
abounds in carefully considered and practical
advice and has the two great merits OF wisdom
and sincerity.
1t is endorsed by both the religious and Sec
ular press. The Chicago Advance says; "A
perusal of the book and the application of its
principles will put health, hope and heart into
thousands OF lives that are now suffering
through nervous impairment"
The book is 3l.0O, by mail postpaid.
One OF the most interesting chapters
chapter Xxx. on Nervines and Nerve Tonics-
has been printed separately as u sample chap
ter, and will be sent to any address for stamp
by thepublishers,. THE PACIFIC PUB Co., Box

M'LAURIN's DEPARTURE.
Some Liberal Comments on His Re-
cent Startling Votes. >
(Charlotte NewsD


The Charleston News and Courier re-
Gently said: There is no reason why
Mr.. McLaurin should not identify him
self wholly with the Republican party,
but we submit to him that he cannot
consistently. with his high sense of
honor, continue to act as a, sena tor
from a Democratic state This be-
cause of the charge that he has voted
for Republican measures" and this
moves the Vicksburg Herald to observe
that Mr.. McLaurin has cast no such
vote when he did not have the compa-
ny of other and older Democratic sen
ators. Had the ship subsidy bill, it
continues, for which he spoke, come to
a vote, it is certain that a number of
his party colleagues would have gone
with him. The Herald concludes it's
editorial thus:
''After all, what un-Democratic meas
ure-measured by the Chicago or Kan
sas City platform-has McLaurin of
South Carolina voted for? What tests
of these propagandas has he failed to
yield allegiance to? Did not q legis-
lature of South Carolina certify him
as in good standing by voting down a
resolution condemning his caperS? I'm
til the party is purged and reorganized
on the old lines, is it not inconsistent,
and can it be afforded. to read any but
the anti-Bryau goldbugs out of 5it?''
1t seems to be SO all-pOWerful. so
Overwhelmingly strong, that it can af-
ford to read out anybody or any class
whose looks or ways it doesn't quite
approve of. But what has interested
us most in connection with this Nc
Laurin case is that while the demands
from the Bryan and Tobuster press for
the resignation of the junior South Ca
rolina senator are frequent and clamor-
Gus, we have not noticed that they
have called for the head of Senator
Wellington of Maryland. on a charger.
You see Mr.. wellington was a Repub-
hcan who went over to the Democrats.
Ihey do not seem to be morbidly anx-
lous for him to resign. McLaurin has
not gone to the Republicans, but be-
cause he voted for the army bill and
supported the shipping BILL it is de-
manded of him that he get out. See2

there were Chinese humOrists-
''Oh, YES" replied Mr. WI: plenty of
them. There are some very good jokes in
Chinese literature
Tell one, said his visitor
We'll, said Mr.. WI, this Us a famous
Chinese story. There was once a traveller
who stopped at the house of a friend for
some refreshment. He asked for a cup Of
tea 1t so happened that the friend had
no tea iIr the house. but he said he would
send his son to borrow some from a
neighbor. The wife put pot of water on
the fire TO boil. The son did not return
and 1t became necessary to add some cold
water to that boiling in the pot This
was done several times. The son did not
return with the tea and finally the wife
said; .inasmuch as the tea Ices not seem
to be forthcoming. perhaps you had better
offer your guest a bath
