The Value of Advertising.

From time to tine one sees il
print explanations of this all.im
portant subject. Ii has been sale
that advertising has no really
tangible value. That is one of the
partial truths that is dangerous
for the business man to hsed. AID.
yertising has no tangible value in
some lines, for the simple reason
that few people in answering ahC
advertisement, especially in person
say just where they saw it. But
the publicity is there just the
same, and although the results
may be indirect, i. has been de.
monstrated in so many different
ways that advertising is a paying
investment that it is hardly worth
while to argue the subject.
A writer signing himself Sub.
scriber," in Sundays Richmond
Times-Dispatcb, says in part:
"Your own columns testify to
the fact that business men believe
in advertising. They do rot buy
your space for the purpose of
helping the paper. They spend
money in advertising, because it
pays. They advertise because they
cannot get along without it,"
During his canvas last fall Judge
William II. Mann revived the old
story that merchant trying to do
business without advertising was
like fellow winking at girl in
the dark-he knew what he was
doing, but nobody else did.
1t Is human nature to consider
that the smile applies to the other
fellow and not to ones self, but
the wide awake business man reads
between the lines and acts accord
ingly.

Birthday Heroisnh.

1t is recorded of little boy that
be allowed his mothers birthday to
dawn without having anything to
give her. This was to him terrible
state of things and seemed to call
for desperate remedy. He began
by offering her, one after another,
every toy he owned, but she was too
good natured to take them. At last,
after carefully considering the
whole matter, he said with degree
Of earnestness which showed how
much he felt the sacrifice he was
about to propose: 81 know what III

ANIMALS AND DEATH.
The Difference Between Wild Beasts
and Domestic Species.

Animals realize intuitively when
death is near. Most animals, ex-
cepting pet animals, who are assured
of what one might call Christian
burial in the back yard, have prompt
extinction and no flowers to look
forward to, for haven't they often
some across the bones of their once
loved mates slowly whitening under
the blue Of heaven?
Savage beasts actually prepare"
for death with a fine composure I'M
Swallowed by any possibility of sub
sequent "will contests" So called
domestic animals, while not showing
the fear characteristic of their mas
ters, become strangely clinging and
dependent and seem to dread sep
aration from the human beings to
whom they are attached.
It Is natural for most wild ami
mails to die in combat with an enc
my, and while the combat lasts
there is hope of escape.
When a number of elephants are
shipped a strong structure is erected
on deck, and there they are stabbed,
chained by the feet. In an emergen-
cy they could easily walk away with
their chains and the deck flooring,
throwing the stable aside if it offer
ed any impediment to their progress,
as was shown in the case of the sink
ing of the ship Agra some years
since. The Agra was swinging at
anchor off Ceylon preparatory to
her journey to America when she
sprung a leak and quickly sank. The
elephants set up a call, but there
was no despair in the noise that fol-
lowed. 1t was the - businesslike
sound of crashing timber, and be-
fore the Agra had reached bottom a
herd Of elephants were swimming
to Ceylon.
NJ. Jules Gerard, a great French
student of animals, tells of a lion
which, having fallen into a great
ditch that had been dug for him, re-
signed himself after several inef-
fectual efforts to escape He heard
the cries of delight Of the men who
saw him trapped. He understood
that he was lost-that he was about
to die an ignominious and defense
less death.
But it was his way to receive the
injuries that were to come to him
without sound of protest. After
taking a dozen bullets without mov-
ing he lifted his fine head with a
majestic movement to cast a look of
scorn on the Arabs who were aim
ing at him their final shots. Then
he lay down resigned to death.

When POSTAGE Was Hlnh.

Letters were a luxury beyond the
reach of many people in the old
days before the time of cheap post
age. Coleridge as young poet was
roaming the lake district. He came
to a village inn in time to see the
post messenger hand a letter over
the counter to the girl behind the
bar. She gazed at it earnestly, re-
luctantly handed it back and sighed
deeply as she said she was too poor
to pay the necessary shilling. The
tender hearted poet, in spite of the
girls eager remonstrance, paid the
money. When the postman had
gone the barmaid confessed that she
had arranged a system Of hero
glyphics with her brother-signs on
the envelope which she could under
stand, and that told her all she
wanted to know.

A COMMON AILMENT.
The Curious Nerve Affection Which Is
Known as tic"

Known as tic"
ga curious nervous affection
which members of my profession are
sometimes asked to prescribe for"
said family physician, sis that of
the unconscious movement, or, as
the French call it, the tic 1t is,
of course, only when the tic takes
some very pronounced or objection
able form that medical aid is sum-
moned. As for the less pronounced
cases, you meet them everywhere in
everyday existence. Unconscious
gnawing Of finger nails and biting
of lips are examples of the malady
in lesser form.
almost all tic subjects are suf-
ferers at the same time from some
form of nervousness. Sometimes the
movement arises in a natural cause,
the contortions of a woman's fea-
lures caused by tight face veil, for
example, which sometimes become
chonic and continue after the cause
is removed. Again, they are imi-
tations consciously or unconsciously
INDUCED in until a habit is formed.
Owe have all seen the woman
whose hand passes every few mo-
ments over her coiffure and the
man who regularly strokes his chin
OF manipulates his beard while talk
ing. How amazed these people
would be to know that theirs was
merely a lesser form of the dis
tressing grimaces which attract at
tention in public places and cause
us to regard the subject with pity
ing horror
Gas to the more pronounced
forms, these have many variations.
A recognized variety is that Of 'cuss
words poured forth i'll great vol
ume, the subject being either I'M
aware of his delinquency or unable
to control it, even when unprovoked
by any annoyance.
"Any one who is subject to
nerves or who has been a victim of
nervous prostration will do well to
guard against the insidious en-
croachment of an individual tic"

EXCESSIVE BRIGHTNESS.
Some of the Evil Effects of Too Much
Sunlight.

Sunlight.
1t is a common belief, well sup
ported by facts, that light is d pow
prful agent in the cure of many dis
eases and in the destruction of the
injurious bacteria that prey upon
the animal body. Experiments have
shown that these little organisms
not only will not multiply when ex-
posed to sunlight, but are even rap
idly destroyed. Experience has
taught us that disease turks in dark
corners and that light rooms are as
necessary to health as good yentila-
ton, but we are only beginning to
recognize that the sun is not alto
gether good for us. Its light must
be used in moderation, for in excess
it may do harm.
Of course every one knows that
prolonged exposure to the powerful
rays of the summer sun may bring
on a sunstroke, but it is a fact not
so well known that excessive light,
even without direct exposure, may
in time seriously impair health.
Light kills bacteria by destroy
ing their substance, the protoplasm
which constitutes the main portion
of every living cell, whether animal
or vegetable. But this effect is ex-
erted upon the protoplasm Of our
own cells as well as upon that Of
the bacteria, the only difference be-
ing that the protoplasm of the sim
gle cell, which is all there is of a
bacterium, is more exposed than
that Of the cells of our bodies and
so is acted upon more promptly.
Animals and plants are protected
against the injurious effects Of light
by their color, and it is a general
rule that those plants and animals,
including man, which live in the
tropics and in other regions where
the sun shines brightest are the
darkest in color, while those Of the
cloudy north are blends for the
most part. People of the north who
go to the south to live soon begin to
feel the effects of the increased
light. At first this acts as a slim
ulant. The newcomer feels better,
the vital functions are quickened,
there is nothing but praise for the
wonderful climate and contempt for
the INDECENT natives. But in a year
or two a change comes. The immi-
grant loses tone, becomes irritable
and works less and less. The light
is working on his protoplasm, which
is not protected by so thick a layer
of pigment as that which the native
has. His nerves give out, and UNI
less he adopts the light stunning
habits Of those about him he must
flee north or die.
A medical writer has recently adj
vanced the theory that American |
is due to the excess Of
light here as compared to the cloud
mess of the north of Europe. III
this is so, the logical treatment of |
NERVES" would be rest in a dark
ened but well ventilated room and |
not exercise in the open air, as is
advised. - Youths Com

Costly Water.

More money is paid for water in
a single day than is paid for liquor
in a week, though few purchasers
are aware Of the quantity of water
they pay for. A ten pound turkey,
for instance, is but three pounds
solids and seven pounds water, and
there are six pounds of water in ten
pounds of pork, while the percent
age of water in beef or mutton is
about the same. Salmon and mack
erel are but half water, though 9th
er fish contain a greater proportion
of fluids. Sixty-fye per cent of an
egg is water, and there are about
two ounces of water to the pound Of
butter. Vegetables run from 40 tc
80 per cent of water, and even
dried peas contain a small percen
age. Taken at an average SIS pei
cent of all expenditures for food
is-paid for water. There is no way
of avoiding payment.

PECULIAR SITUATION
Temperance Resolution Adopted
by Liquor Dealers

temperance Resolution Adopted
by Liquor Dealers
In an address TO the people O
the United Statss the Nationa
Liquor Dealers Association, which
last week held it's annual convent
ion at Louisville, KY, incorporat
ed the following surprising resoIu
tiOns, says the Philadelphia Rec
ord:
"fbe white ribbon movement,
the blue ribbon movement, the Pro.
hibition movement, and the anti.
saloon league movement were, OIL
are, protests upon the part OF
good men and women against two
of the greatest evils connected
with our civilization; and we, thu
delegates to this convention of the
wine and spirit trade, desire to ex.
press our entire sympathy with
the efforts that have been put
forth to extsrmlnate the evils, and
our willingness to lend co.opeIa-
ton and assistance. )"
The evils referred to are drunk
enness and disreputable dives land
in the condemnation of both che
sincerity of the members of the as.
ISOLATION is beyond question. They
feel that they are engaged in an
honorable calling; that they min
later to social want, aud that the
worst enemies Of their trade are
those who bring 1t into disrepute.
That the association should desire
the extirpatiOn of the saloonkeep-
ers who encourage or permit in
temperance in drinking is not
strange; on the contrary, it is
quite natural. 1t Is IS natural as
the desire of the medical profess
zion to extermiRate quackery, Of
the lawyers to Danish shysters
from the bar and of reputable
brokers to eliminate the bucket
shops.
What is novel and surprising in
the resolution 10 the offer to CO.
operate in the promotion of tenn
perance with the white and blue
ribboners and Prohibitionists in
general. Desirable as it would be
to bring all opponents of intern
perate indulgence in vinOus and
alcoholic beverages onto a common
platform, and thus give ovsrwhelm-
ing force to the temperance move
ment, it is to be feared that the
profered alliance will not be &C.
cepted. The Prohibitionist and
the advocate OF moderation in
drinking look at the subject from
essentially differeDtpoints of.vjew.
The former grounds his argument
on the premise that alcohol is a
poison and the use of it as a bev-
erage an abomination. In de-
maBding the absolute suppression
by law OF the manufacture and
sale Of beer, wine and distilled IL
quors the Prohibitionist runs
counter to the large majority, who
"egard their beverages as whole
some stimulants which are bene-
fetal to man when used in moder-
alton. Between these views there
is no visible middle ground.
There is one thing however,
which both the advocates of vel
and compulsory temper
ance can note with equal gratiti-
cation;lhe abuse CT alcoholic slim
ulants and the habit of drunken.
ness is diminishing from decade to
decade and from year to year.
The complete reform Of the abuse
will be accomplished by moral
forces, through social ostracism
fer TIE Incorporate and the for
nation of gooo habits rather than
through legal compulsion.
