In an article in the Journal of Po-
litical Economy Emily Fogg-Meade
treats advertising as ''mode of edu-
cation by which the knowledge of
consumable goods is increased. 1t
sets forth the peculiar excellence of
novelties, keeps in mind the merits
of staple articles and thus increases
the general demand for commodities.
This method of making the public
acquainted with goods is necessary
because the modern system of dis
tribution requires that goods be sold
in large quantities.

The Lazy, stupid shay.

f'The shag is the LATEST and most stu
pid form of life TO be found anywhere
on the globe. II is an aquatic fowl.
with big. clumsy looking beak and with
form something like the dodo. now
extinct" said a western man. Il have
spent much time in watching this fowl,
which is found in some OF the shallow
lakes, and the chief point of interest
10 me was the startling stupidity dis
played. They generally squat on
stumps or logs in the lake and watch
for the smaller fish that play around
the surface of the water. They are
fairly clever in catching what they
want, and they throw out their bill
with considerable precision when they
gig for game. But they never get to
eat what they catch until they have fed
at least one and maybe more than one
member of another kind of water fowl.
whenever a shag begins to catch
fish, long legged. long necked water
hen will take n place Immediately be-
hind him. When the shag lands a fish.
the water hen simply reaches over and
gets it. Without any show of resent
ment and without turning around, the
shag will continue its watch for fish,
and this is kept up until the water hen
has finished meal. and then, if no
other enterprising member of the same
tribe comes along, the shag is permit
ted to enjoy the product of its own
sleepy efforts.
Il have on one occasion seen one shag
feed as many as three water hens be-
fore eating a single fish. 1t is certain
ly a singular display of stupidity, and
after having watched the performance
a number of times 1 am convinced that
the shag is actually too dull to even
know that the water hen stands be-
hind him to steal the fish out of his
mouth. New Orleans Times-Demo-
crat.

AT TER The
CYCLONE.
All Over the City Repairs
Necessitated By the
Storm Are Being
Made.
R0oFERS PROFIT WE'LL
st. Mary's and the Bijou Are
the Principal Objects Of
interest.

The work of clearing away the shat
tered trees, wrecked houses, and, where
it ws possible, repairing the damage
done by Saturdays tornado, was carried
on in the Greenville section yesterday.
Little progress, however. was made with
the work and many of the streets which
lay in the track of the storm are still
strewn with uprooted trees and debris.
Chapel avenue, which seemed to get the
worst shaking up, is still blockaded with
fallen trees and judging from the number
of them it will take some time before
they can be cut up and carted away.
Spectators who have gone over the
ground are amazed at the wonderful force
exhibited by the storm and the evidences
of its power have furnished an interesting
study. Everywhere in Greenville people
are talking of some gigantic tree they had
seen twisted and broken or some piece of
timber they had found that had been
hurled from some wrecked building.
The ugly pile which was once Mount
Zion Sanctuary has attracted large
number of sightseers. Surely" said a
devout old man as he gaZed thoughtfully
upon the ruins 1T cannt be an act OF
Providence that would wreck churches.
But when we consider that no lives We're
lost We should not regret the damage.
All of the five persons injured by the
storm were reported in no immediate dan
ger last night George Engel, who, when
his house collapsed was lying on a sofa
reading newspaper and who was drag
ged out from under the wreck with a
broken collar bone and several fractured
ribs is still in serious condition in the
City Hospital. 1t was reported last night
that he was sinking, but the statement
was not confirmed. His wife who was
also injured is recovering.
Already estimates are being received for
the repair of the homes of Richard Bow
den and James Bruce on Princeton ave-
nue., the roofs of which were carried away
by the storm. The damage to the effects
of the families is considerable.
Nothing approaching an accurate esti-
hate of the entire damage in Greenville
resulting from the cyclone could be given
last night.
Residents say that the destruction of
shade trees which have taken years to
grow is a specific loss which cannot be
accurately estimated Nevertheless they
rejoice that the mortality was among the
trees and not among the residents.
