MURE TESTIMONY.

The New England Dry-Goods associ-
alton met at Boston the other evening,
and had an address from an advertis-
ing expert. He told them some things
which he had discovered in the course
of his work. Without, he said, ''depre-
ciating the value of the good advertise
ing mediums, for there are many,
wish to state emphatically, and with
out qualification, that the newspaper is
the best and cheapest advertising me-
dunn for the retail advertiser. ] can
not too forcibiy impress upon you the
intrinsic value of newspaper advertis-
ing space. The newspaper, logically,
psychologically and practically, is the
most natural of advertising mediums.
Advertising belongs to the newspaper.
The reader buys the newspaper for the
advertising as well as for the news;
and many a woman buys it almost ex-
rlusively for the advertising"
All OF winch is true as preaching, ana
much truer than some preaching. The
following remarks by the expert are
also true: Something for nothing is not
business, nor is it good advertising.
would rather have my advertisement in
a thousand copies of any of a. Boston
papers paid for by the readers than to-
have the same advertisement in ten
thousand sample copies Of the same pa
per. Because the reader pays for the
paper he proposes to get his moneys
worth, and he cannot get his moneys
worth unless he reads that paper and
he reads the advertisements because
they are a part of that paper.

TIL n TUNG sSHU TREE.

They have some good things In China
that we don't have here. For instance,
the tung shu (nut oiD tree. This state
ly and useful tree is found in all the
provinces OF the Yangtse valley. It's
about 20 feet high, with a dame
ter usually Of z to 10 inches. It be-
gins to produce in the fourth and sixth
year, and remains productive for about
ten years. The fruit is about the size
of small orange and looks like an
American shellbark hickory nut. The
oil Extremely poisonous when fresh) is
obtained from the seeds. 1t is burned
in lamps, and is also used in paints,
etc. The by-pgoduets are a fertilizer
and a kind of cement. The wood is
white, impervious to moisture, and is.
not liable to warp or crack, even when
exposed to intense heat. 1t is used in
the manufacture of musical instru-
ments, trunks, oven covers, fine boxes,
etc, and also for the framework of
small Chinese houses. 1T is said that
insects will avoid this wood, and that
for that reason it is very valuable in
China, where white ants and other in
sects destroy woodwork, often in a very
short time. In the west of China
(Szechuen, Kueichau, Yunnan) the peo-
pie spin thread from the fiber of the
tung tree and make a kind of fabric
that resembles wooden cloth.
Some attempt has been made by our
beneficent government to introduce the
tung shu tree into this country. Seeds
of the tree have been sent to central
California and have grown well, but
others planted at South Bend Indiana,
have not sprouted, possibly due to de-
fective seed. The tree, it is thought,
might grow in Indiana, but would
probably fail to produce nuts. Two
hundred pounds of fresh seed are con-
tracted for and will be brought here in
February to the department of agricul-
ture. BY and by perhaps our singers
will be singing "Under the tung shu
tree"

THE VAR VIEWS.

There is plenty Of war news in these
days. General Kuropatkin, who seems
to have done the best he could. has
been ordered home. and General Line
witch has been put in his place. Other
armies, under Generals Grodekoff. Grip
enberg and Kamaroff, are TO be organ
ICED, and, for all we know. there may
be more names like those TO hurI at
the japanese Meanwhile the Japanese
don't seem to be scared by names or
things. and they are doing their best
to clean up the remnants of Kuropat-
kin's army.
While the Cars war spirit seems to
be as fiery as ever, the peace party in
Russia is growing. But of course it
doesn't have much chance to prevail
against the war party until the war
party gets off its high horse. How high
the horse is is indicated by the state
ment that the War Council has def
nitely decided that Vice Admiral Ro-
jestyensky shall continue his voyage
and give battle to the Japanese in the
hope of wrestling control of the sea
from Admiral Togo. If Rojestvensky
is successful, it is claimed that an en-
tirely new complexion will be placed on
the situation. This performance seems
almost as reckless as the performance
of those who ordered Admiral Cervera
to take his ships out to destruction.
When the Japanese get time they
will count up and let the world know
just what they have done with Kuro-
patkin's great army of $4,000 men. II
will be an impressive statement.

SIG NOR rEDEsCO,s BILL.

The labor unions OF Italy are not
finding much fault with signor Tedes-
cos bill, by which the Italian govern
ment is to assume the management or
the railroads. The bill provides that the
number of railroad servants shall be
for the future more restricted. Their
conditions of service will be improved
Immediately by the reduction in their
case of income tax from to Z IL per
cent, by raising the salaries OF those
whose advancement has hitherto been
delayed, by the extension of pensions TO
widows and orphans. and by participa-
ton in the profits. They will also bene-
fit in the near future by the reorganiz-
alton of wages under system Of equal
treatment; and later on by gradual in
creases of pay in proportion to the prof
its of the railroads. The extension of
pensions to widows and orphans will
require capital sum Of seventeen mil
lions lire ($S,400, 000)-to form the tech
meal reserve-besides the annual sum
of 100000 lire. The interests of rail-
road servants win be safeguarded fur
ther by a regular system of arbitra-
ton. Every branch of railroad service
is to elect a council of its own; and the
presidents of these separate councils
are to form a general council, to treat
with the administrative board on all
questions affecting the well-being OF
the service. All controversies of a
more serious character are to be refer
red to a board of arbitration consist
ing of a councillor of state, two lega
representatives of the railroad admin,
istration, and two of railroad labor.

tie centers Of interest from which to
spread the gospel of bird protection.
Wisconsin has nearly eight hundred
such branch societies with a very large
membership, including both grown
people and children. These local
branches can in their turn spread the
good work in many ways. They can
encourage the organization Of school
societies and of bird clubs; they can
urge the purchase of bird literature
for the local libraries, arrange for
lectures on birds, get up exhibits Of
hats, decorated without the use OF the
plumage Of wild birds, and they can ar
range for 'bird-wallzs," to be taken
in the woods and fields, with q. view to
studying the birds.
In number of instances Audubon
societies have, by their influence. and
contributions, succeeded in having es-
tablished in some library a section de-
voted to bird literature. Such plan
is very useful in large towns and cities,
but in order to cover the rural districts,
1t is found better to institute travelling
libraries, each consisting of a small
collection of good birds books, which is
sent from point to. point throughout
the State, and allowed to remain at
each point for a stated time. Some
States Connecticut, for instance
have a score or more such libraries in
circulation, and these do much good in
arousing, in the rural districts, an in
interest in birds and their protection,
The Audubon societies also do much
good by arranging for lectures on birds.
In some cases a society engages a
lecturer who speaks to the members
and their friends and neighbors, and
in other cases a lecture on birds is
prepared by some competent person,
and a typewriter copy with the Ian
tern slides necessary to illustrate 1t,
sent on APPLICATION to different parts Of
the State, there to be read by some
local bird-lover @e4.... .ss
The millinery exhibits are arranged
with local milliners, who sub
nit numbers Of hats trimmed without

ject being. of course, to show how at
tractiye hats may be made without
decorations which involve the death q

THE AUDUBON sOCIETIEs.--part iii.
What They Are Doing for Bird and
Man. "

-
Man. ~
Literally without fuss or feathers,
the women and men who compose the
Audubon Societies are working to-
gether. quietly, steadily, thoughfuliy
for the protection Of birds, and hence
for the good Of all mankind. In the
main they are gentle folk, interesting
with the rights Of no man, and seeking,
wherever possible, to influence. others
by kindly appeal to their common
sense, to their love OF Justice, and to
their adherence Of all that savors of
cruelty, heartlessness and unnecessary
destruction Of life. But, peacefully dis
posed as they are, In deadly earnest,
and are not afraid to use stern meas
ures when such DIRE necessary in the
cause of bird protection. They are for
ever active in securing legislation
which tends to protect the birds from
the hands which from seIfishness,
thoughtlessness or depravity would
destroy these beautiful creatures or
their homes, and they do all they can
to assist in the enforcement of proper
laws made with this object In view.
AS we saw last week, all the States
and territories in the country, with the
exception of about a dozen, now have
Audubon societies and ais soon as these
few come into the fold, the problem of
protection will be easier for every
body. agtE H. ~s='.9
The existing societies ais their most
important line of action at the present
time, the awakening OF public senti-
ment regarding the protection of birds.
Compared with the population Of the
country, the entire membership of all
the Audubon societies is but a handful,
and, work as they may, they can ac-
complish little in the fight against the
Vulnerable enemies Of the birds, unless
the rest Of the people, or at least con-
siderable part Of them, are In sympathy
with the great Audubon movement.
One of the first things an Audubon
society does after becoming organized
itself, is to urge the organization Of
numerous branch societies in different
parts of the State, or at least of ap-
pointing local secretaries at widely
scattered points, and thus securing lit
