Modern Advertising.

A little over half a century ago Il
was considered beneath the dignity OF
many substantial concerns to adver-
tise beyond the insertion in the news
papers Of an occasional business card.
Some of the experiences of that time
show how recently advertising, as we
know it, has developed.
A retail hardware house in an east
ern city once found itself possessed Of
ten times the number of articles of a
certain kind that it had intended to
buy. AS they had been ordered espe-
cially for new hotel and were Of Pc
culiar design, there seemed to be no
way of disposing of them except at a
merely nominal sum.
One Of the younger men connected
with the concern offered to "move
them" at a fair price provided he be
permitted to advertise. The sugges-
ton encountered much opposition, but
finally small sum was set apart to
carry it out. The advertisement was
drafted in an attractive way, and the
people soon began to buy the new arti-
Gle. Finally the house was obliged to
send to the manufacturers for more.
When the next seasons trade opened,
the member of the firm who had most
opposed the experiment whispered to
the young man that he had better
write out few notices land put them
in the papers,
From such beginnings the advertis-
ing practice has come. Thousands of
dollars are now spent not only in add
vertising itself, but in devising clever
catch words, ingenious phrases and il
Illustrations which will stick in the
memory of the reader as well as new
general methods.-Youth's Companion.

They Found the PAN.

During spell of particularly hot
weather well known baronet came
across three workmen engaged on a
job on his estate. One of them remark
ed, as workmen not infrequently do.
on the dryness Of the job. The heat
had perhaps extended itself to the bar
onet's temper. At any rate. he turned
away. with the reply: If you are
thirsty, you know where the well is.
You will find pail there"
Thinking over his remark little lat
er, it flashed across the baronet's mind
that he had given orders for three bot
ties of champagne to be put into the
pail and lowered into the well to cool
for dinner. He FASTENED to the well
and discovered - three empty bottles!
What he said this time is not reported.

A Great storm Wave.

A great storm wave is peculiar to cy-
clones. At the center Of the disturb
ance the mercury in good barometer
may be lower by three inches than that
In similar instrument on the verge
Of the cyclone. This is owing to the
diminution of atmospheric pressure
consequent on the rotation Of the air
wheel, and as nature abhors a vacuum
the sea In the vortex rises above its
usual level until equilibrium Is restOr-
ed. This storm wave advances with
the hurricane and rolls in upon the low
land like a solid wall. In the Backer-
gunge cyclone Of 1876 the storm wave
covered the land at the eastern end Of
the Gauges delta at heights varying
from ten to forty-five feet, as measured
by marks on the trees. One hundred
thousand lives were lost on this Occa-
sion-Chambers' Journal.

Read IL in His Newspaper.

George Schaub, we'll known Ger

constant reader of the Dayton Volks-
zeitung. He knows that this paper
aims to advertise only the best in its
columns, and when he saw Chamber
lain's Pain Balm advertised therein
for lame back, he did not hesitate in
buying bottle of it for his wife, who
for eight weeks had suffered with the
most terrible pains in her back and
could get no relief. He says: "After
using the Pain Balm for few days
my wife said to me, I feel as though
born anew and before using the entire
contents of the bottle the unbearable
pains had entirely vanished and she
could again take up her household dut-
ies." He is very thankful and hopes
that all suffering likewise will hear of
her wonderful recovery. This valuable
