True Principle in Advertising.

According to the most careful esti-
mates, the volume of business done by
the mail order houses in the United
States amounts to more than one bill
lion of dollars annually. When it is
considered that 20 years ago there
were no mail order systems of bust
ness as now known, and that since
then the plan has been developed, it
becomes evident to the thinker that
there is magic in advertising, for it is
by advertising alone that the mail
order business has been built up. It
would perhaps be fatal for the small
merchant in the agricultural cities and
towns to follow the plans, the distort-
ed aud exaggerated advertising meth.
DDS Of the department stores and the
mail order houses. Yet there is a prin-
ciple in advertising that ever holds
good. This principle is as sound for
the little merchant, the dealer in any
kind of wares, as it is for the biggest
concern on earth. In fact, the great
business houses generally had a small
beginning, and by publicity pushed up
to the front, writes D. M. Carr.
Did people Of agricultural sections
fully realize how the millions taken
to the large cities by the mail order
system causes them a direct injury.
It would not be long before these con-
Germs would be out of business.

ness of His Life.

James H. Eckles, who died suddenly;
of heart disease at his home, in Chi
cago, few days ago, was one of,
the most devoutly religious men of!
large affairs in the country. He,
scrupulously avoided ostentatious dis
play of his genuine piety, and only,
his most intimate friends knew of his
deep religious convictions. Among
them was Grover Cleveland, who,
while governor of New York, dis
cerned this trait in Mr.. Eckles' char.
acter when the latter was a STUDENT
of the Albany Law School. Mr.. Eckles
was not psalm singer or a leader
of prayer meetings, etc.. Seldom was
his name publicly connected with
church matters or religious move
ments, but it is recalled by persons
in Washington who knew him we'll
when he lived here as comptroller Of
the currency in the last Cleveland ad-
ministration, that he gave more liber-
ally of his income to the cause of re-
ligion than any other man Of their
acquaintance. It was his custom to
read one or more chapters Of tho
bible every night before retiring, it
made no difference how late the hour,
and on his outing trips he invariably:
carried, tucked away in his baggage,
a copy of the sacred book. 1t is re-
lated that while always the jolliest
member OF every outing party, Mr..
Eckles never failed to read the bible
in camp under sputtering light every
night as long as the trip lasted. He
and Mr.. Cleveland, the latter the son
of minister, used to have long dis.

Cooperative Systems Weak,

Advocates of cooperative enter
prises point to the great, success Of a
few English societies.. Glowing re-
ports of how great are. the savings to
the people py these cooperative or
CARNATIONS are given But here the
law of compensation plays part.
While the cooperative methods are ex-
tolled, few who are active in coopera-
tive work show the other side of the
question. If some cooperative enthusi-
asst would dissect the report of the
London board of trade, recently made,
it would be found that since these CO.
operative societies have gained such a
foothold more than half q million
workers in various lines have been af-
fected adversely; that those thrown
out Of employment by, cooperative ef-
forts are objects of charity and are a
burden to the different trade guilds.

hundred may mean economy, but when
thousands are thrown out of employ
ment by the system what other field
affords them a living?

Manila, p. I-"There are no knock
ers at missionaries in the Philippines"
Thus Manila newspaper man col
loquially diagnosed the missionary
situation in the islands. My own in
vestigations verified this opinion; the
criticism Of missions and missionaries
which Is so general in the port cities
of the far east is conspicuous for its
absence in Manila. The missionaries
appear to be on the best of terms with
everybody, from the governor general
down. "
One of the most popular dinner
clubs in the city is the Quill club, to
which most of the prominent men in
Manila belong, and which was organ
the recent visit of DR.. Charles Cuth
bert Hall and Secretary Lloyd, of the
Protestant Episcopal board when they
were guests of the club, was anything

pine missionaries. The man If not
swallowed up in the minister. So far
as met them personally, found the

Stunzs return to the states because
of illness removed a forceful person
ality from the Philippines. The Epis.
copalians have built St. Mary's and
st. Johns cathedral, the finest mod
ern ecclesiastical structure In Manila.
An adjunct of this is the Columbia
club, a handsomely equipped club
house, run on liberal and gentlemanly
lines by the members, and having
about it no faint of patronage or the
eleemosynary spirit. Its members
are men from all walks in life 1t Diff
fers from other high-grade clubs
chiefly in that gambling and drinking
are tabooed. Altogether it is by far
the most successful institution of the
sort l have ever seen.
Bishop Brent has Is workers asso.
ciated with him, and services for
Americans are maintained in several
places. The distinctively missionary
work of the church has been almost
wholly confined to the nom Christian
tribes.
For Manila's Men.
Some interesting statistics concern
ing the American men in Manila were
recently gathered by the Young Mems
Christian association. OF the 1882
American young men in Manila, SO Is
per cent. are unmarried, OF the total
number, 351 have Filipino wives or
live with Filipino women. The others
are distributed as follows: Five hun.
dred and sixty-five are living in
American homes; 627 are living in
messes: S13 are rooming in Filipino
families; 2O3 are living in hotels;
S62 are soldiers; 81 are in Bilibid
prison.
Apparently, the average American
does not find the atmosphere of the
islands conducive to church-going. A
count was made, upon recent Sun
day, of all the American men in at
tendance upon the city's 20 churches,
Roman Catholic and Protestant, and
the aggregate number was found to
be 416. At the Columbia club were 81
and at the Luneta sacred concert were
395. Over against these 892 (among
whom were doubtless many dupli-
cates) who were under religious or
wholesome" influences, may be placed
the count of 1895 in attendance upon
baseball games, races, etc. At two
similar resorts where the count could
not be made, the estimated number
was $50 more. -.,
This does not mean that Manila Is
an immoral city; in truth. I was
amazed at the Quietncss and orderli-
ness of it, and at the manifestly high
character of the people. So far as l
could ascertain, the attacks upon the
morality of Americans in the Philip
pines have been cruel exaggerations.
While they apparently do not lean
strongly to church.goin the men of
Manila yet manifest an alert interest
in the moral welfare Of the city. The

It is useless to fight for innovations

There are conditions in the CONNER
cial world that must be observed Trade
is in accordance with requirements
Of the people, and these requirements
are according to other relative cir
cumstances. AS our civilization ad-
vances new demands manifest them
selves. While a hundred years ago
the people were satisfied with certain
commodities, it was because other
things known to US did not exist. The
expenses of living keep relatively the
same. We have statistics that show
the average requirements of a certain
class OF people. We know to GER
tainty how the average runs. We can
not tell how much a single man will
spend for living during year, but We
do know the average that each in a
thousand or two thousand men will
spend, classifying them as to occu-
patton and earning capacity. There
fore it stands to reason that in every
community the amount of trade is in
accordance with the population and
the classes of people composing the
community. 1t is useless to argue that
trade can be increased by certain
methods. A certain merchant by ad-
vanced methods may increase his
trade, but as he does 80 some one else
loses proportionately. Reformers and

facts in mind, and not get their wires

the Filipinos revolted. On all sides it
is agreed that the church in the
islands should be brought up to the
American standard. 4 Concerning the
handful of American priests who have
gone to the Philippines, 1 heard only
praise, from Monsignor Agius down to
the civilian man of the street" There
is a great need for more.
Failing this, the church authorities
look with most hopefulness to the
present movement for the education
of young Filipinos to the priesthood
in the United States. Lack of suit
able priests is the chief need of the
church in the islands, in order to
remedy conditions which cannot exist
in the light Of the Observation-Disclosures
lated newspapers, Of widespread pop
ular education. and of a steadily grow
ing American spirit Next comes the
need for the rehabilitation of church
edifices, which are still in a ruinous
condition, as result of the war. Ap-
parently none of the money paid by
the American government to the friars
for their lands is being used for the
churches in the islands.
Looking Out for the American.
A peculiar situation was created in
Manila by the advent of 80 MANY
American men, mostly Protestants. In

established in Manila by the Presby.

WIRELESS ~ DAYLIGHT.
Prof. Fessenden Announces the pia
covery Of 4 New Impulse.

IN recent communication to the
Electrician of London, Prof. R. A.
Fessenden states that he has devel

less Geographic messages during the
daytime by means of a different tyne
of electrical impulse from that which
he had previously employed. This i'm.
pulse has made it possible to cut
down the absorbing power of daylight
to small fraction of its previous
amount.
The system has been tried from
Brant Rock, Mass, to the West
Indies, the distance being approxi.
mately the same as that from New.
foundland to Ireland. The success is
so noticeable that Prof. Fessenden be.
lieves that transatlantic wireless te.

parison between the effectiveness of
transmission obtained through their
use and the use of the older type is
about as follows, the distance being
from Brant Rock to Washington.
D. c.:
When the old impulse produces an
effect equivalent to 1900 between the
hours of 10 and IL at night, the same
impulse would give a strength of sig
nal between IL and 80 at noon of
only 80. The new impulse under the
same conditions will produce an effect
at the receiving station of about 80
between 10 and IL at night and of 76
between II and IL: 80 at noon. ,.<->
The fact that the newer; signals ara
weaker in daytime than the old is
thought to be of no consequence. it
being much more important that there
should be no marked difference be-

avoid arousing antagonisms and Sec
tartan bitterness.
The second Is that the old church
organization has its hands full with
the Aglipay schism. which claims not
only more than 100000 adherents,
but also large part of the church
property in the islands. This ques-
ton is now being fought out in tho
courts. In the meantime, the two
wings Of Catholicism are manifesting
no little bitterness toward each other.
Archbishop Agius, the Apostolic dele
gate, could not find terms with which
to characterize Aglipay, when I
preached the matter to him.

testant missionaries became such

but some have become intelligent
workers in the Protestant churches.
Good Words for the Filipino.
A further word should be written
concerning the Roman Catholic church
in the islands. before passing on to
ganda. It is to be borne in mind that
the superiority Of the Filipino to the
Asiatic-and he undoubtedly is su-
perior to Japanese. Chinese. Malay or
Indians due to the civilizing influ.
ence of the Roman Catholic church.
That the United States has been able
to do more for the islands politically
in less than ten years than Great
Britain has done for India in hun
dred years, must largely be credited
to the church that brought the Fill
ipinos out of savagery.
With the abuses that crept into the
church in the islands this article IL
not concerned; but it must be pointed
out that it was not against the Ameri-
can type of Roman Catholicism that
