which he assumed that George Eliot

Church Publicity.

The possibilities Of church advertis-

of st. Louis. BY church advertising is
not meant the perfunctory announce

almost any, city newspaper, but attrac-
tive display so prominently placed as
to catch the eye and arrest attention OF
every reader. What the church ads'
are now the store ads. were a hun

The Way jay Gould brought an

r,,e Xyay Jay Gould Drought an
press Company to Terms
Racolling early days in the express
business. an officer of one OF the largest
oomnanies told this story Of Jay Gouio:
"Could and Fisk then had hold Oh
tho Erie" he said, "and the United
stotes EXPRESS company had all the
oxnress business on the road. The con-
tract was about to expire, and Gouid
wanted an arrangement more prohta-

"The express company officials de-

and eventually let the Erie president

that no other company would compete
AGAINST the United States for the Erie
husiness. All the companies at tnat
fine were in an agreement to MAINTAIN
rates.
".All right said Gould at the conclu-
sion Of the interview, you've no obJec-
tion. guess, to my going into the ex-
nress business for myself. 1t looks
better than railroading.'
THE express people replied tna'
Gould could organize all the companies

this idea. Gould was going around

BOOKS FOR THE BLIND.
They Are Bulky, but Light, ana may
BE Mailed Free.

Probably no one class Of people are IN
rraoter need of the consolation, inspira-
tlon and entertainment to be found IN
good books than are the blind. so
many Of the recreations and ENJOY
ments Of life are denied them that the
blessing Of being able to read ana OF
having the books to read Is douoiy
appreciated.
By a wise provision of the postal
regulations the embossed books used
by the blind may be sent through the
mails free of charge, and, taking ad-
vantage of this provision, the Califor-
MIA State library is lending embossed
books to any blind resident Of Caiifor-
MIA who will apply for them.
This work was begun In June. lSoo'
and there are now 1872 borrowers scat
tered over the length and breadth OF
the state. -,
These books for the blind are Issued
In different types by the various pub
fishers. according to the systems they
advocate. the principal ones being the
New York point, Moon, Boston line
letter and American Brallle. In order
70 be able to read all the books printed
for the blind therefore, person mus'
be familiar with all the different styles
Of type. :,
The books are curious looking vol
umes. being very bulky, but not OF
corresponding weight. All the systems
use an embossed character OF some
sort to convey the meaning, and this
accounts for the thickness OF the VOL
ume. Many Of the patrons Of the IL
brary can read two different types ant
some OF them even more.
Not only books, but also alphaDet
and primers, are loaned to borrowers
and since the work began eleven per
sons who previously could not read a
NIL have learned either the Moon type
the New York point or both.
One of the eleven Is a lady ninety

she learned to read the books for IN

learn to read no one need despair 9

Whnt the Rulers Cost.

In the Paris Figaro a fanatical stat
istician undertakes to answer the ques-
tion as to how much a citizen has to
pay for the head of his state. The
Frenchman pays for his president an
nually the low sum of 0 centimes Not
quite 2 cents. Considerably higher Is
the amount which every German has
70 nav for his emperor-namely, 81 cen
times annually. In Russia each SUD-
iect's annual contribution is 30, In TIA

times. The dearest rulers are, however
those of Greece and Belgium, for every
Relgian or Greek contributes 80 cen
times annually to the maintenance OF
the royal house in his country.
