a 5uggsstion to Tradesmen.

1t is said there is nothing as cheap
as advice we p'esume because ii fol-
lowed it brings in large returns in the
way OF profit. Now in strict conf
dencc we desire to say to the mer-
chants of CrcSco, if you know man
or woman who will buy your goods
write him or her a letter, if you know
ten persons who will buy your goods
write letter to each one of them; if
you know one hundred write to each
one of them letters telling about your
goods, what is their quality, and the
price thereof.
But if you know of 500 or 1000, 2OOO
or 5000 persons who would buy your
goods IL they knew about their quail
ity and price, it is cheaper and bettor
to advertise them in the PLAIN DEAL
ER than to write letters to 50 many,
Instead Of displayinga bolt Of cheap
print, with the price, in front of your
store, where it is seen by but few peo-
pie tell of your goods and their prices
to the thousands who read the PLAIN
DEALER and thus get their custom.

Second class things are only wanted

They are taken and used when the

Seven thousand years ago there were
trades unions in Nlneveh and Babylon,
and so strict were their rules that In
some cases the penalty of death was
inflicted for infringing them. Each
mans work was strictly defined, and
even the number of hours that he was
allowed to work was stated in the
charter of his guild or union. Later
exactly the same state Of affairs ex-
listed in Pompeil, and inscriptions have
been discovered stating specific ap-
pointments OF officials to trades unions
The most powerful of these appears
TO have been that of the Fishermen's
guild.

More coal has been discovered in Maine,

GULF STREAM MARKS.


The color OF the stream Is percepti-
bly, deeper blue than that Of the neigh
boring sea, this blueness forming one
of the standard references of the nau-,
tlcal noyefists. The depth of color Is
due to the high percentage of salt con-
talned as compared with the cold green
water of higher ATTITUDES, observation
having shown that the more salt held
In solution by sea water the more In
tensely blue Is its color. Thus even In
extratropical ATTITUDES we sometimes
observe water Of beautiful blue col
or, as for instance, in the Mediterra-
mean and in other nearly landlocked
basins, where the Influx OF fresher wa
ter, being more or less impeded. the
percentage of salt contained is raised
by evaporation above the average, says
the National Geographic Magazine.
Another important fact In connection
with the stream Is its almost tropical
temperature due to the fact that its
high velocity enables 1t to reach the
middle ATTITUDES with very little loss
OF heat. Upon entering its limits the
temperature OF the sea winter irequeht-
~ SHOWS rise Oh Ten degrees anu even
fifteen degrees. 1t was this fact that

The Bank of England generally con-

The bank, which stands in three par

and, as the current price OF land in the
vicinity works out at 100000 an
acre, It is easy to form an idea of the
money value Of England's wealth. The
ratable value is about $1,000 a week.

LAST NIGHTS ANARCHIST
MEETING,

The meeting OF the Anarchists last
evening in Miles hall was very peace
able and tame, thanks to the presence
OF the police. William MacQueen,
the principal speaker, confined him.
self to very quiet and orderly speech
saying that the Anarchists were peace
full and orderly, not desiring blood.
shed He failed. however, to explain
why it Il tfat they are always force
most in all acts of violence.
He claimed that cooperation was
th. great weapon of the anarchists.
Mr.. Mcqueen paid his respects to t0e
TELEGRAM, denouncing its report of
the previous meeting as false. Philip
J. Halvosa and other socialists, in-
cludlng about IS were present, and
the subject of the address was 1.-The
True Meaning Of Anarchism.
The meeting had, after all, comic
side. as John Ryan was introduced
and spoke several moments upon the
wrongs of Ireland. He told how the
British government mad adopted the
plan of compelling so people or more
to wash in the same wtshb 2iler OF
water as the means Of exterminating
them. The old man became eloquent
and was lou ly yapplauded when he told
Of the water not being changed for
their washing operation.
