in company what they are not,
that is, they will submit to the
rules of what is called good

Flow to Reach the Public.

In the course of a recent !
lecture in Hartford, Conn, on
"The Making of a Newspaper"
Charles Hopkins Clark of the
Courant said:
''How are you going to get
at the public? Mail them cir
culars, and the wastebaskets in
10000 homes give a weary
yawn, and the circular disap-
pears unread. Call upon the
people and explain the merits
of your wares? The sign Our
Busy day hangs in business
offices; in private houses you
must ring the bell. Oftener
you are turned away.
''But put a cleverly worded
advertisement of these
wares in a newspaper that
has an established circula-
ton in the city's home and
business houses and see
what happens. You could
not get in there yourself,
but your advertisement is
there on the breakfast
table, in the library, in the
parlor, in the sewing room,
and when everybody is in
quiring for the paper which
can't be found it is very
likely doing duty on the
quiet in the kitchen.
cit is all over the house and
wanted there. You are not.
And, similarly, at the office it
is read and reread, and part of
the use of This Is Our Busy
Day sign is to get a chance to
read the papers. And it is in
teresting to note the adver-
tisement has another than a
commercial use. 1t is printed
for business purposes pure and
simple, but it is often read as
news"

ment each rural mail carrier in
the United States will be re-
quired to take a careful census
of his route and copy the names
in a book provided for the pur-
pose. Slips are prepared for
the carriers and these will be
left with the families to be fill
ed out, each slip to contain the
names of all persons receiving
mail at the house, even to the
servants. In this manner the
name of every person along the
routes will be before the post
master and he will have no
trouble forwarding mail. Mar
ried ladies will be designated
by their own names instead of
their husbands"

Editorial Notes

The st. Michael's Protestant
Episcopal church, of New
York City loses a cool 100000
by the suicide of Henry Edison
in that city the other day. He
was controller of the finances
of the church and was a de-
faulter to that amount. 1t will
soon come to pass that the
churches will have to put their
funds into the keeping of
worldly men, if this thing
keeps up.
A brother of the new Pope is
a mail carrier receiving a sal
airy of % cents a day; $50 for
the year. His sister is a dress
maker, and a brother-in-law is
a tobacconist.

ATHLETICS IN ENGLAND.

They Arouse Great Enthusiasm ana
Produce Strange Trophies.
Athletics attract much more atten-
ton in England than in America. The
people are more enthusiastic, and it is
not unusual to see $1,000 or 2O,0OO>peo-
pie attending the games. There are
sports three and five times a week, SO
that an ambitious runner can fill his
trophy room with any number of suit
,aDle prizes. An American champion
has no idea-of the reception that awaits
MN. The many sports committees at
tend him, and he is shown the hospital
1ty Of the cities.
1t is no extraordinary thing to be in.
v1ted to dinner in your honor or to
stay few days with the lord mayor
OF the city. All Of these affairs, one
must admit, are a great handicap to
his training.
The prizes abroad are, as a general
rule, very valuable, much more so than
in America. They are not wholly con-
fined to silverware, such as CUBS and
the like, but it is nothing extraordi-
nary to see an athlete departing from
the races with sewing machine or
hatrack, and in some cases have seen
orders for beds. The lucky competitor,
as a rule, can have any article he de-
sires, and, as many British athletes are
married, they generally take the most
serviceable article.-Arthur E. Duffey
