The Art of Advertising.

Among the many marvels of this
marvellous age there is none more
striking and none more characteristic
than the art of advertising as deyel.
oped in modern times. We talk much
about the wonders of the telephone
and the ~phonograph, about. the aston
ishing expansion of railroads and
biography, but here W have an in
dustry as remarkable for its extern
sion and as wide and varied in its
applications as anything of mans de-
vice in any era Of the worlds history.
When there is brought into consider
alton the vast amount of money ex-
pended in advertising in our day, the
novel and ingenious methods en-
ployed and the expert skill and artis-
tic talent engaged in the business, M
may begin to realize what a wide field
has been opened here for some of the
highest and most useful forms Of hui
man endeavor. With all its abuses
and they are not a few-it remains
true that advertising is m of the
greatest of popular educators and one
Of the chief promoters of human hap
piness and prosperity. And there are

yet many ways in which it NAV he
extended to the still greater benefit
Of the world No good reason exists
why the churches, the Sunday schools
the missionary societies and other
agencies of good should not advertise
far more than they do, and thus add
to their membership and their power
in the community. To set their adj.
vantages, aims and benefits before the
public in a proper way and form
would involve no loss of dignity or
prestige, while it would almost cer.
tainly widen their influence. The
time must come, too, when the absurd
code which prohibits physicians and
other professional classes from adver-
Using themselves must be abolished.
There Is nothing but a sentiment to
prevent 1t, ana a very weak senti-
ment at that. 1t should be no more
mira dig for a physician or a lawyer
to seek patients or clients through
the medium OF print than it is for
teachers, insurance men, real estate
dealers or the members of any other
honorable trade or calling.-Leslie'i

ALMSHOUsE POPULATION LOW,
Err, SAYS CENSUS BUREAU.
Majority Of Them Are Men-Foreign-
ers Outnumber American-Born
Among Public Dependents
Many Are Diseased.

Washington.-The bureau of the
cen census has just published a spe-
cial report on paupers in the aims
houses of the United States. The bu-
reau's inquiry develops several inter
esting facts, among which are that
pauperism is decreasing and that hos
pital facilities for unfortunates for
merly sent to ~almshouses have be-
come better and more scientifically ad-
ministered.
The number Of paupers in aims
houses on December 81, 1903, was ST.
1854, and the number admitted during
1904 Sl,412, making a total of 1853,
l76 persons who were in almshOuses
during the whole or a part of the year
1904. Of this total 111,S17 were men
and 5l,359 women The number in
cluded 52,444 men and 1920 wom-
en-, and the number admitted, 59,373
men and 22,039 women.
The number of paupers in aims
houses in 1880 was 5000 and in 1890
1905. But although the number of
almshouse paupers is increasing the
increase has not kept pace with the
growth Of population and consequently
the ratio of almshouse paupers to pop
ulatiOn is decreasing. In 1880 it was
1872 per 10000 Of population; it de-
creased to 1855 in 1890 and to 1914
In 1903. In part, at least, this decline
in institutional pauperism is due to
changes in the treatment Of the men
tally and physically defective poor,
who in former times were sent to
almshouses but are nOw cared for in
hospitals or asylums, and also to the
development of nationally organized
charity which strives to make the poor
sel%f-supportlng and to place destitute
children in families rather than in
almshouses.
Although pauperism is less preva-
lent among than among men,
the chief distinction between the two
exc seems to be that women, hay
ing once entered an almshouse are
there permanently, while men are to
a large extent only winter boarders.
Although decreasing, the ratios are
still high in some of the older com

Mount Holly, Pa,-There appears to

that averaged five feet in length.
These were sold to George V. Bozarth,

The sharp-eyed hawk can spy a

upon lizards and field mice upon the
ground, and the distance at which
the yultures and eagles can SPY their

discoveries have inclined naturalists

better to account for their action,
and they appear to be guided by sight

jects of their desire. Their coun.

and see, but are more guided by smell
than sight. In both sharks and rays

scent their prey from a short dis.

born whites the degree Of thrift, COM
bined with racial characteristics, seems
to determine the tendency toward pau
perism.
That pauperism Is In a large meas
ure a "concomitant of age and its ac-
companying evils is shown by the large
percentage at least 80 years Of age,
and the rapid increase in the number
Of almshOusc paupcrs in each Of the
succeeding quinquennial age periods
between 50 and GJ years, after which
the high death rate prevents any fur
ther increase.
TIL relation between age and pau
prism Is also shown when 1t is OBJ
served that the proportion Of paupers
appears to be much smaller among the
native whites Of foreign parentage, in
which class there are comparatively
few elderly persons, than It is among
the foreign-born whites which class
is composed for the most part Of
adults.
Among the relatively large numbers
Of negroes In the earlier age groups
are found many who are suffering
from pulmonary complaints and many
feeble-minded who are sent to the
almshouse as soon as their inability
to earn a livelihood is established.
Of the total paupers in ~almshonges
nearly two-thirds were mentally or
physically defective.
More than three-fourths Of the aims
house paupers old enough to work were
in~capacitated.
OF the aggregate almshouse popu-
lation 1874 died during the year. Of
this number more than two-thirds
were at least 80 years Of age.
