An Adyertlning Speculation. Among the many incidents character istic of human nature it one which re cently came under the observation of a young man connected with a prominent publishing house, one of the oldest in the country, and which has for three generations been conducted by the de scendants of the original founder. With other publications there was issued a neat little treatise on household econo my, showing how, on a small income, it was possible to live comfortably. The author was a woman, and gave her book the title, "How She Did It." The book had a fairly good sale, but presently there appeared to be a sadden and unac countable demand for the volume, and every fortnight the house was puzzled by orders for more. It ran through a fourth edition before the young superin tendent learned the cause. The orders had invariably come from the same source, and it was then discovered that the persistent buyer advertised the book extensively in sporting and other jour nals. Ilis method was simplicity itself. The title given, ho would insert, "Mailed secure for fifty cents, scaled." Truth. About Printers' Ink. This is the day of printers' ink, and the prizes aro for those who use it. Your traditions and prejudices may be to the contrary, but the world doesn't care a fig for them. The man who sits and waits for his trade in these days gets left. Don't advertise, don't quote your price lists, don't see that your city or your business is represented in your patronizing territory, and don't stand i up manfully alongside of those who are fighting for your rights and interests, and there can be but one result shrivel ing up. Good salesmen, first class ar ticles, gilt edged credit are not enough. They are excellent, necessary but not enough. Printers' ink beats them in the long run. Uncle Sam's mails go every day, carrying their freight of special offers, new crops, long credits, cash dis counts, job lots and lovers' tales from everywhere. And in the end your trade is seduced. It's the world-old story of the honeyed tongue and the open ear. In the fierce competition of these days old habits and associations simply can not stand the pressure. The trade is for the man who uses printers' ink. Gro cery World. Development in Advertising. In no department of the modern news paper has there been greater and more marked improvements shown than in the field of advertising. There is a greater display of taste and literary style in the composition, and an evident effort is made to appeal to the intelligence and refinement of the reader. This is seen not only in the advertisements of the large mercantile establishments, where trained skill is employed, but as well in the three line advertisement which is written by the advertiser himself, and which, in terseness and directness of style, can lay claim to great literary merit. The development of advertising may yet lead to the establishment of special courses of training in business colleges. Already nearly $25,000,000 are spent annually in the United States in newspaper advertising, every dollar of which, if used judiciously, has returned a large interest to the investor. Phila delphia Press. You Must Ilavo tho Stuff. Advertising alone no matter how ex cellent cannot build up a big trade or make a house great; yet vital impor tance hinges upon advertising, for very few concerns have ever reached colossal proportions without liberal and intelli gent advertising. I have in my mind four words that mean much: Variety, Style, Quality, Price! The store that has these, and in its advertisements tells its story in a plain, fair, square way that's attractive and readable, is bound to prosper. Henry Curtin in Clothing Gazette. Don't Be Afraid. Too little advertising is like sowing too little seed. A farmer in planting corn puts a number of grains into each hill, and is satisfied if one good healthy stalk comes from each planting. It's the con stant odvertiser that is bound to attract attention. It's the succession of bright, catchy advertisements that refuse to be ignored. That the proper time must be allowed for the fruit to grow, ripen and tie gathered is as true as that wheat can not be reaped tho day after it is sown. Printer s Ink. Mix Your Ink with Sense. Of course there's money in printers' ink, but the man who makes tho most intelligent nso of it gets the most money out of it. It does not pay to advertise wmethiug you have not got, or anything yon cannot do, and do well. The man wno advertises a rrauu must nave a -good" fraud, and he who advertises Bargains in goods must be prepared to tisfy his customers. Any advertiser ihould undertake to present some sort of a claim lor patronage. Not a Charity. In any just view of a quarter of a century or lournulistio work the most promiuent feature, and one giving great satisfaction to respectable publishers, is toat printing a newspaper has become i ecogmzed as a business and not a char i!y.

Nothing is so contagious as example; nver is any considerable good or ill done that does not pro luce its like. We imitate good actions through emulation, mid I mi ones through a malignity in our nature, which shame concealed, and exiiinplo rets nt liberty. The chief thing to be done for those who are in trouble is to enable them to stand ut on their ou n feet, to be brave and strong, In see the sun shining through the clouds, and thus to receive tho edu cation which si.ch experiences are able to K've. True friendship in calamity will spare no pains and leave no means untried to further these results. ItELIGIOl'S INTELLIGENCE. The Southern Presbyterian Church now has three colored presbyteries.
