ADVERTISING AN ART.
But "a should Ie Made en Art That
Calls neanty to Its Service.

Calls neanty To Its Service.
Advertising has indeed become an
art II remains for IL 20 become, if not
a fine art, at least an art that calls
beauty 10 its service. When IL does.
much Of the energy that is now mis-
directed. much Of the money that is
now prOdigally wasted in destroying
the worlds beauty, will be saved.
The right procedure is indicated by
the most conspicuous medium for pub
lie advertising. The press, in its daily,
weekly or monthly forms, offers alto
gcther the best means for calling pub
lie attention 20 all sorts Of things. The
best OF public journals-those which
are recognized as the most desirable
medium, for advertising and which
consequently obtain the highest prices
for their seryices-mak ii a rule TO
classify and restrict i'm judicious
manner the advertisements that they
print. They cOnfine them TO certain
parts Of the publication, they restrict
their display 10 certain decorOuS styles
Of type. recognizing that b admit a
hcltcr skeltcr distribution through all
columns or to display them IN incoher-
ent fashion according 10 the whims Of
the advertisers would largely destroy
the very objects held in view The
readers Of these journals would resent
the intrusion Of advertising matter in
to the space set apart for news, edi-
torials, etc. and the influence that
givc~ the advertising its value would
decline.
In the same way the forms Of ad-
vertsiDg that now give exceeding Of
fensc 10 the community ought to be
restricted and kept within proper lin
its. If this were effected the practice
would change from the public nuis-
ance that il now Is 10 n function that,
In a considerable degree. might couple
genuine service to the public with
presentation Of it's material in an In
teresting and even esthctcally attrac-
tive fnahion.- Sylvester Baxter in Cen

THE SACRED LOTUS.
seaiin,cnt Of the Orient About the
Fruit of Destiny,

Concerning the rich fruit Of the lotus,
which grew luXuriantly In the Nile,
many charming legends have been told.
II was believed that IL was so delight
ful ;lat those who ate OF il would new
or ave the spot where il grew, but
for il would abandon home and friends
10 spend their lives in a dream OF Sc
rene delight. Homer, in the Odyssey,
mentions the lotus eaters who lived
on the northern coast Of Africa and
records their attempts TO detain the
followers OF Ulysses by giving them
the fruits of the lotus 10 eat, so that
they shoull never wish TO leave the
spot where il grew.
The same poetical idea Is known to
the Arabs, who call il the fruit OF
destiny" which Is 10 be eaten in Para.
disc, and IL is on this foundation that
Tcnnyson built his charming poem OF
the Lotus Eaters" This mythical
lotus has been Identified by severa
botanists with that Indigenous to Tu
mis-. which is n thorny shrub, with Der
rics the size OF an olive.
Mungo Park found species Of lotus
In Central Africa bearing berries of
delicious taste, which on being dried
and pounded made wholesome and
pleasant bread. The lotus fruit found
In Tunis has n stimulating, almost in
toxicating, effect, and it Is therefore
probable that this plant furnished the
foundation OF the ancient legends.

Tire Names Of Tea.

We talk glibly about Pekoe, Bohen,
etc, hut few people have any idea Of
what these names signify. "PekOe"
In the dialect of Canton means "white
hair" for the tea which bears this
name is made from the youngest
leaves, so young that the white down
Is still on them. "Soochong" in the
same dialect is quite unpoetic name.
II merely signifies small kind "
"FlourishinC spring" Is the meaning
of "HySon." "Kongo" signifies ''la-
hor" Much trouble and toll are ey-
pended in its preparation at Annoy, and
"Hohea" is called after range Of hills.

girl were astonished. Eye strain seem
ed aS remote from mclancholia as
would corns OH the feet Their aston
lShment was proportionately increased
when after a few treatments and ac-
qulrng glasses the child showed no
ticeabls improvement.
Latter day medical scieucc traces to
eye strain many ills which seem so re-
mote from the eyes that formerly ply
siclans never thought of establishing Il
connection between them. Sick head
ache, nervousness, melancholia, insom-
nia, are but Il few which have OF late
been laid 10 the door of weak avcs, the
proper treatment having been neg
lCctcd.
