GUIDEPOSTS IN FRANCE.
\ Striking Feature of the Roads
 Throughout the Country.

A feature of the roads of France is the ever present guidepost These guideposts consist of an iron plaque about two feet long and a foot high securely mounted on sturdy posts or fastened to some substantial wall. They are painted in white and blue and show without any possibility of mistake not only the commune or township In which they stand, but the next important place in either direc- ton as we'll as the distances between all the chief points upon that route. Thus you will find if you are travel ing on a road which leads to Paris that the name of the metropolis will appear on the signboard. although 1t may he several hundred kilometers distant.
 In addition to these guideposts the Touring club of France has put on the chief roads series of signs and symbols to indicate to motorists and bicyclists what sort of road they are approaching. The sign "ralentir.
 which translated into good United States means to "let up.' has caused many motcrist who is familiar with the road he is travelling to slow down and to find shortly after the sign had been passed that it was well that he paid attention to it because of steep grade or some abrupt turn. There is no excuse. in view of the symbols and signhoards, for any one motoring in France to get on the wrong road or to come unexpectedly into trouble Frank Presbrey In Outing Magazine.

fered a reaction. The published re- marks of the head of the American Smelling company permitted the con- struction that a reduction in the divi- dend disbursement on the shares is in contemplation. The influence of the various rumors in circulation showed some waning power. therefore, as the day progressed. The report of large disbursement by the Oregon Railway and Navigation company, one of the subsidiaries of the Union Pacific pug zled the trading element at the stock exchange greatly, owing to the intri- cacy of the financial relations between the various companies in that system. The operation in itself was regarded as largely one of change in book accounts, but surmise was busy over possible ultimate bearing on the plan for segregation of the investment hold ings of the Union Pacific of which of fcial intimations have been given from time to time.

THAT TANNING WASTE BASKET.
How 1t YaWns for Foolish and Useless
 Advertising.

If business men who use circulars extensively for the purpose of making sales of goods or manufac-'lre artl- cles would sit down and do little hard thinking they would doubtless save themselves a lot of trouble and considerable sum of money each year. But unfortunately they are too busy with other matters to devote much thought to the subject of advertising So they hire somebody to look after the department and let it go at that.
 There seems to be preyalen. an idea that circulars are the cheapest and best mediums for reaching the public and that if they are well written and beautifully printed they will pull busi- ness out of a stone.
 How many of those who cherish this fond delusion have definite facts to support it? Not one in hundred. In some lines of business, especially in the retail trade, good results have been secured from an intelligent use of circulars, but experience has shown that in approaching manufacturers, wholesalers, jobbers and others who conduct large commercial enterprises they are almost worthless.
 When the executive head of one of these establishments examines his mail in the morning he finds that from 25 to 50 per cent. of the matter he has received consists of fancy l. a1a bar Gel h, printed circulars, booklets and calen- dars
 The most of these, if not all, are at once consigned to the waste basket af- ter the first glance without reading. The busy man at the desk hasn't the time to examine them, other things demand his attention. The cost of the advertising matter thus thrown away unread in this one office will average at the lowest estimate from s to si0 a day Multiply this by the thousands of other offices and some idea of the waste of expensive printed matter may he obtained
 How, then, can the advertiser get the attention of the men he desires tc reach? Through the newspapers and the trade papers If he will frame up his selling arguments In attractive form and place them In the evening or the morning newspapers he can rest assured that they will be seen and read by the very men who refuse to examine his circulars The trade papers are most valuable in reachine definite classes of people. They art selective. Only those buy them who are directly interested in the particu- lar business they represent. Hence the advertiser knows when he puts his announcement in one of them providing, of course, that 1t Is repre- sentative publication. that every copy of the paper reaches possible GUS toner.
 There Is no waste circulation. Every subscriber is a live, progressive busi- ness man who wants to be posted ir the news of the trade.
 Just as soon as the business men oi the country wake up to the above facts the frightful waste of money and effort. as represented by circulars etc, will be stopped and a deeper ap' preciation of the true value of news and trade paper advertising will pre- vail.-Editor and Publisher.

London Purchases Increase-Metal Stocks Make Best Prices
 of the Day.

Influencing news factors to-day were mostly favorable, but did not induce much buying of stocks. Reports from Pittsburg to the effect that two rail mills of. the Edgar Thomson works or the Carnegie company would resume operations next Sunday night, taken in connection with recent receipt of rail orders, had a reassuring effect, as did the steady progress at Washington in the matter of currency bills. While that passed by the House is expected to differ from the Aldrich bill com promise measure is now expected by Wall street, according to advices re- ceived from Washington. The absence of definite information as to the pos sibility of reopening of the knicker- booker Trust company prevented its use as a market factor. Probably most persons in the financial district now expect it to resume in the near flu ture.
