Aprupos of the mail order business a recent issue of q trade journal hits Ehe nail pretty squarely on the head when II declares that those business houses which suffer most seriously from competition through the mails are themselves largely to blame. The mail order house is merely entering a door which the sleepy home mer- chant has left open. These big con- cerps secure the names of the mer- chants customers and place in their hands a catalogue with attractive prices. ard they see there many arti- cIes N hlch they had not thought of buying. but which they really do buy because the description and the price appeals to them. The merchant can secure these catalogues and offer his goods at even less prices than there listed. freight considered, and the customer can see the goods b efore buying. The merchant has only to demonstrate this to the customer, and he can do this either by means of a catalogue of his own. or through newspaper advertising. or both.
 This will naturally be met by the argument that the focal merchant can not afford the cost of catalogue that the printing bill will eat up all the profits on the merchandise sold by it's means. But this is an erroneous view. IL is rot 10 be expected CT de sired that the local merchant will get cut bulky catalogue, such as sent out by the mail order house He can. however, go over the mail order cata- iogUe. selecting those items which ex- perieuce shows him are apt 10 attract the customer. He can make his own prices on such goods, and either aC- gertise them in the local papers or have made up small folder or circu- lar which can be mailed to every buy er in town and vicinity. This circu- lar can be made very inexpensive proposition, so far as the printing goes. and coupled with the telling argument that the purchaser can see the goods before he pays for tneE, will undoubtedly save to the local merchant large proportion of the business now going to mail order houses.
 The plan appears to be one well worth trying, and there can hardly be question but local printing houses will cooperate with the merchant in the matter, making the prices on the printing of such circulars little more than rormal

THE PARACHUTE.
Leonardo da Vinci Was the First One
to Suggest IT,

Credible accounts exist of an English
Benedictlne monk, Oliver of Malmes-
bury. in the eleventh centumy having
tried to fly by precipitating himself
from the height of a tower with the
assistance of wings attached to his
arms and his feet. 1t is said that. hav-
ing gone along n little way, he fell and
broke his legs. He attributed his acct
sent to failure to provide his appara-
tus with tail. which would have help
ed preserve his equilibrium and made
his descent gentler one.
In the sixteenth century Leonardo da
Vinci first demonstrated that a bird.
which is heavier than the air, sustains
itself. advances in the air, "by render
ing the fluid denser where 1t passes
than where it does not pass" In order
TO fly it has to fix its point of support
on the air. Its wings In the descending
stroke exert a pressure from above
down, the reaction of which from be-
low up forces the center of gravity OF
its body to ascend at each instant to
the height at which the bird wishes to
maintain II. Some sketches which have
come down to us prove that Leonardo
occupied himself, like Oliver of Malmes-
bury with giving man the power to fly
by the assistance of wings suitably
fixed TO the body.
We owe to Leonardo also the inven-
tion of the parachute, which he de-
scribed in the following terms: "If
man had n pavilion each side of which
was fifteen braces wide and twelve
braces high he might cast himself from
any height whatever without fear of
danger" l. may be said. too, of Leo
nardo da Vinci that he was the first to
suggest the idea of the screw propeller

The Arab Mare,

The Arab is regarded as the first of
horsemen and the Arab mare as the
perfect steed. The Arabs idea Of
horse tanning is of the simplest The
colt is treated from the first as Il
member Of the family. 1t goes in and
out of the tents and is so familiarized
with the doings of that extraordinary
creature, man, that there is never any
need of breaking it in. The Bedouin
is very careful of his mare He does
not mount her when he sets out to
play his usual tricks upon travellers.
He rides a camel to which the mare
is tethered. Not until the caravan is
in sight does he mount the mare and
give chase. There is, by the way, an
impression that the Bedouin is
bloody minded person who would as
lief take your life as not. This is un-
fair to him He is n thief of very
peaceful inclinations and much pre-
fers TO effect any necessary transfer of
property with as little bother as pos
