ADVERTISING.
r 10 One Of tho Most Ancient Of Al che
Civilized Arts.

h 10 One Of tho Most Ancient Of Al the
Civilized Arts.
It is generally believed, by the
simple and unlearned, that the art
of advertising is of comparatively
modern invention, but very slight
study of the subject will be sufficient
to convince the inquirer that it is,
in point of fact, one Of the most an
Gent of all civilized arts. Indeed,
the first advertisement was probably
coeval with the first man who had
something to dispose of or with the
first woman who wanted something
she had not got. 1t seems not mn
possible that the serpent tempted
Eve to partake of the apple by
means Of a puff paragraph" set
ting forth the merits of the fruit as
complexion beautifer. Be that
as it may, the uses of advertisement
were known at a very early date to
the Israelites, who were accustomed
to placard the streets of their cities
with the utterances of kings and
prophets.
The ancient Greeks, too, were
much given to advertisement, chief
ly through the medium of the town
crier, who, however, was not permit
ted to offend the ears of the citizens
with his proclamations unless he
were accompanied by musician to
give him the correct pitch. The
fact that property had been stolen
or damaged was made known by
means of curses, inscribed upon
sheets of lead, which we're affixed to
the statues of internal deities in the
temple, the vengeance of the gods
being thus invoked upon the persons
who had stolen or injured the adver-
Users goods. A rider was usually
added, to the effect that should the
property be returned, or recompense
be paid, the owner would intercede
with the gods for a remission of the
punishment.
The Romans also made use of the
town crier to proclaim laws, victo-
ries or sales, and the walls of the
streets were covered with notices
painted in black or red or inscribed
upon terra Gotta slabs and let into
the pillars on either side Of houses
and shops. Many of these wall ad-
vertisements were found in Hercu-
laneum and Pompeii, among the
most interesting being the an
nouncements of the gladiatorial
games, containing promises that
shelter would be provided in case of
rain and that the sand would be
watered should the weather be ex-
ceptionally warm.-Cornhill Maya
zine.

Mistake In Names

A letter from Mrs. Wm. Boyce, of
Vancouver, B. c., says that it was
her daughter, Mile Boyce, instead
of her sister, Mile Dennison, who
had her hand seriously injured in a
mangle in the laundry in which she
was employed. The many friends
and acquaintance of the family in
this county will be glad to know that
Mile is getting along as nicely as
could be expected and that she will
not lose her hand or fingers, although
they are very badly injured.

"Pertrait Of . Doctor"
Concerning the prize, PORTRAIT
Of Doctor" by Seymour Thomas,
there is q very amusing story.
Several artists had made paint
ings Of the gentleman who is rep
resented in this celebrated picture,
but the family decided that none of
them was 'slifelike enough" After
visiting the Thomas studio the gen.
tleman's relatives commissioned this
artist to essay the task.
The work went on well, and the
picture was completed. Every one
was delighted. Alldeclared-frie
family and enemies-that it was q
living likeness"
One day, before the picture had
been sent home, the wife of the doc
tor called with her sister-in-law.
This woman had been suffering
from nervous prostration and had
come to spend several months with
her brother for a rest.
Instantly on entering the studio
she threw up her hands and ex-
claimed in a hysterical, Mortified
tone:
ooh, my dear, my dear! How
much like Robert that isl Oh, it is
horrible! I couldn't stand it in the
house moment. Why, it looks just
exactly like him, and I'd almost
think him about to speak. Don't
take tits uncannyw
Abashed into silence, embarrass-
ed beyond description, the wife and
sister-in-law later left the studio.
"And what do you think" said
Mr.. Thomas, with a gentle smile.
"a few days later I had note from
the wife asking me if I could not
make the picture little less like
the doctor-a little less Gfelike 2
Did I do it? Well, l guess not!
That was one of my best pieces of
work, and l know that in trying to
please everybody you are apt to be
in the same predicament as the man
with the donkey-in the end you'll
lose the donkey and will have pleas
ed nobody. Give me changeable
sitters, but deliver me from the
family Scrap Book.

Ringing Brothers
At Bellingham

On Monday, Aug. 10, the people OF
this vicinity will have an opportunity
of attending Ringling Brothers circus
at Bellingham and it is probable that
many will go from here, as this splen-
did organization is far better than
ever before, being made up almost
entirely Of European performers new
to America.
Space will permit Of only brief men,
ton of the many European novelties,
presented in a tent twice as big as
that of any other circus. The Ricco
bono horses wear boots, coats and
trousers. One sits in a chair and
reads paper; when the clock strikes
ten he lights candle, goes to his bed,
removes his clothes, even to bis pom
derous boots, blows the candle out
and retires. Last winter people went
from all over Europe to Paris to see
the act.
An agent of the show secured,
through the efforts of an American
diplomat, permission from the Shah
of Persia to bring to this country the
wonderful Mirze Golem troupe, favor
ties of the Persian monarch's court
performers. It is the first time they
have been permitted to leave Persia
No one ever saw the act except royal
visitors at the Shah's palace.
