Important Movement In Advertising. The creation of a General Advertising Department for the .New York Central Lines, anil the placing in charge of that department the veteran railroad adver tiser, tJe.irge 11. Dnnielx, who baa been for nearly twenty years the (ieneral I'iih ncnuer Agent of the New York Central Railroad, marks an era iu the history, of advertising in America. The New York Central Lines nre the first great system to create an advertis ing department which covers all the rail ways in their system, and tke far-reaching consequences of such a movement cannot be appreciated at first sight, but this ac tion on the part of the management of these lines emphasizes the value of adver tising generally, and forces the conclu sion of a strong belief in the etlieaey of railroad advertising in particular. Some idea of the importance of this new department can be had when it is understood that it will control the gen eral advertising in America and in foreign countries of the New York Central, Bos ton and Albany, Lake Shore and Michigan Southern, Michigan Central, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis, Rut land, and Lake Krie and Western railways and their leased linos, having their west ern terminals at Chicago, St. Louis and Cincinnati, and their eastern terminals at New l'ork, Boston and Montreal, and em bracing more than twelve thousand miles of the best equipped railways in the world. Mr. Daniels has for many years been a firm believer in newspaper and maga/.ino advertising, and, therefore, the organiza tion of the General Advertising Depart ment of the New York Central Lines is of iinportar.ee to every legitimate publica tion in America, daily, weekly or monthly. In an address before the New York State Press Association a few years ago, Mr. Daniels made the point that the rail road is the advance agent s»£ cMU'nerce, and that railway advertising hail been of immense value to American manufac turers in calling the attention of the whole world to the excellent work done by our inventors and mechanics, as illus trated in the Empire Stale Express, the Twentieth Century Limited, and other great trains that connect the east with the west; the average foreigner arguing that the men who are able to turn out such machines must be able to build anything, and that the farm machinery, and all kinds of industrial machinery made in Amer ica, must be of the very best quality. Rail road advertising has certainly been the means of bringing thousands of men here from foreign countries to investigate our manufactures and has wonderfully in creased our foreign commerce. Every legitimate newspaper and maga zine publication in America will have a direct interest in the General Advertising Department of the New York Central Lines, and every advertising agent on the continent will take a new lease of life because of this endorsement of the value of advertising. THEY COULDN'T FOOL HIM. Son of Erin Knew Ho Was in the Wrong Place by Letters on the Wall. At the recent election, owing t > the laek of proper accommodations, it wua found nece.-sary, relates the New York 'limes, to use tiie rooms of the American Pleasure association a.-, a polling place for one et the lower East side districts. It happened on the very lust registra tion day that a little old, weazened son of Erin (a newly-made citizen) strolled in. lie proved a very snappy and suspicious individual, and the inspectors of elec tion found it a very difficult task to ex tract from him suitable replies to the usual questions, the old fellow displaying keen resentment and taking much um brage at the necessary information re quired qualifying him as a voter. Soon the chairman of the board and the old chap were exchanging compliments relative to pedigree, intelligence and facial appearance of not too flattering a nature. Suddenly in the midst of his harangue with the chairman, the excited Irishman stopped short, the color left his face, he threw his clay pipe angrily upon the floor, and with his eyes blazing lire brought his fist down upon the table with a bang as he shrieked: "Jiegorry. 1 thought this wasn't the right place! I knew something was wrong! It's a trap I've fallen into! And the;' the proof!" he added, shaking his finger menacingly at the wall. Tii ? inspectors quickly turned.

"I had no idea," writes a Duluth man, "that it was the coffee I had been drinking all my life that was respon sible for the headaches which were growing upon me, for the dyspepsia that no medicines would relieve, and for the acute nervousness which un fitted me not only for work but also for the most ordinary social functions. "But at last the truth dawned me and I forthwith bade the harmful beverage a prompt farewell, ordered In some Postum, and began to use it. The good effects of the new food drink were apparent within a very few days. My headaches grew less frequent, and decreased In violence, my stomach grew strong and able to diKest rny food without distress of any kind, my nervousness lias gone, and I am able to enjoy lifo with my neighbors and sleep soundly o'nlghts. My physical strength and nerve pow er have incroasi d so much that I can do double the work I used to do, and feel no undue fatigue afterwards. "This Improvement set In just an soon as the old coffee poison had no worked out of my system as to allow the food elements in the Postum to Ket a hold to build me up again. I cheerfully testily that it was Pu. turn, and Postum alone that did all this, for when 1 begun to drink it I threw pliyale to tho dogs.'" Name tiven by Postum Co., Uattlo Creek, Mich.

Pastor Temple Israel, St. Louis. ! p—SEEMS almost a contradiction in terms to speak of mor als as mechanical. For the essence of moral responsibility • is our moral freedom. If we are not free to do right or to I do wrong, can there he any real virtue in right, or shamtul guilt in wrong The discussion would indeed seem closed before being commenced. Yet, I propose to sustain, with out inconsistency, the thesis I have advanced, the existence of what I have termed automatic morality. MauiHwJ It will indeed soon become evident to you that we em ploy only to a slight degree our absolute freedom of action. We move along a groove; we follow a beaten path; we repeat our selves ; we are, in a word, creatures of habit. Yes, creatures of habit we arc, molded by strong fingers in soft years. The stamp of our teachers is 011 us. Our parents have marked us for life. Striking examples have made their indelible impression. Our orbits swing around larger bodies; and through education, home training, environment, habits begin before even the self-consciousness that reveals them is ours. Habit is the individual groove we follow. But let us proceed a step further and say we submit to common custom. Ilabit is our pri vate path; custom is our public highway. To submit to custom, en forced as it is by public opinion, is scarcely voluntary; it is almost obligatory. A compliance with at least average moral standards is exacted bv the community, more searchingly and successfully than by the law. Water no more surely seeks a common level than docs so ciety. It is not only not difficult to be decent and respectable; it is almost impossible to be otherwise. Society tacitly, impersonally, legis lates, scrutinizes, judges, punishes and sometimes rewards, oociety is the guardian of the moral minimum of the age. I lie moral minimum, I said, was exacted; yet that minimum keeps on increasing as ages pass. That increase in the moral minimum that is actually demanded, not simply by policemen, or churches, but by men and women themselves; that indeed deepeens faith in man and in God. There is a moral strong box in the world in which the gener £tions deposit their real savings, their moral capital. That strong box is public opinion, common custom —the capital deposited and saved is the advancing moral level of each generation. That level, though not high, is higher than it ever was before. It is actually maintained spon taneously, unofficially, by the world. And that restraint of license, dis honor, cruelty, avarice, immorality, is a real restraint; and from age to age, a stronger restraint. It is known to all, practically obeyed by all; it is taken for granted. Indeed, the "things that are taken for granted" in each generation arc the moral assets of that generation. These factors, individual habit, common custom, tend to make our moral life automatic. And it is in many ways of immense value and service to us, forgetful as we arc of the slow, laborious processes by which the way was cleared for us.

People arc so en grossed with their many activities, with the rush, the fret, and the hurry of life, that they manifest less cordiality, less affability and less hospitality than in olden times. The home life, which predominated half a century ago, is largely lost sight of in the present, and the time once given to the home is spent in entertainments outside the home. In the early history of industrial Manchester, my home, which practically dates back not 75 years, there is not much margin in time between its modern condition and its early industrial and social inter ests; yet a large change appears in the financial and other conditions of its people. In the population of the period of construction, young men largely predominated, the churches showing this in their congre gations, very few elderly attendants being seen. When the machinery was fairly in operation a day's limit in factory labor was about 12 hours, and a good part of this time realized with oil lamps for the early morning and evening operations. Much of the social life of this period consisted of family parties, instead of the professional troupe of theatrical and concert artists with their hours of late entertainments. The rules of all corporaton boarding houses required closed doors at ten o'clock p. m., while nine o'clock was the general custom. Regu lation papers were required by many mill owners, signed by all opera tives who entered employment, a duplicate being retained in book form by the corporation. These papers enjoined early hours, good habits of churchly attendance, and regularity of factory service; also noting age of employe and the place of residence, past and present. Young men at the age of 18 had the option of entering service in the fire department or military, and were subject to a fine if not en rolled between the ages of 18 and 40. Schools and churches were es tablished at an early date, and the quiet and cleanly reputation of the town as an industrial center, for more than 60 years, is evidence of the wisdom of the powers that controlled the destinies of the settlement. I recall a visit of Thomas 11. Benton, the statesman, to Manchester in the early forties, when the mills were in charge of Agent Gillis, the first superintendent of the Amoskeag Manufacturing companv. Mr. Benton visited the mills and took dinner at one of the boarding houses, and commented upon the high character of the help. He said that his dinner was good enough for any man. In those days it was the native sons and daughters who were employed in the mills, but their places have since been taken by immigrants from other lands. The subject of education was made prominent by the newspapers which were published weekly, yet the character of their contents was generally of a high order, being largely supplied by readers and sub scribers, who, though amateurs in literature, show a creditable literary ability. Few details were allowed in criminal statistics, or in general news, and nothing admitted to the famly paper suggestng evil fur fam ily reading. The appearance of the streets when filled with a busy cfowd shows at the present time a marked contrast to early days. Color has never been a marked feature in dress with the people, but the prevailing ideas of form and style are observed and adopted.

THE CALL OF THE CANADIAN WEST. Tho Greatest Wheat Crop of the Continent. Tho year that has Just closed has I done n great deal towards showing the 1 possibilities of Western Canada l'rom ! an agricultural standpoint. The wheat ! crop lias run very near to the 100,000,000 : bushel limit that was looked upon as j too sanguine an estimate only a short tiino ago, and the area that has been ! broken to fall wheat for the coming harvest will go a long way towards enabling the farmers of the West to ; overlap on the 100,000,000 bushel esti mate next year. And while the spring and winter wheat have been doing so j well during the past few years, the other j cereals have been keeping up with tbie procession. Rye and barley have made j Immense strides, and peas and flax have ; been moving steadily along. Dairying, ! also, has been successfully carried on | in the new provinces, and in every stage the farmer has been "striking it rich." To such an extent has the success of the West taken hold of outsiders that j the rush of Americans to Saskatchewan and Alberta, which was looked upon as j marvelous last year, bids fair to be largely exceeded in 190G, and as there I are still millions of acres of free home -1 steads which the building of the new railways will render"accessible to the markets, new wheat lands will be opened up ere lqng. Amongst the first to avail himself of the opportunity , presented will bo the American settler. In a large number of American cities Dominion Government Agents are lo cated, who are able and willing to give the latest and best information in re -1 gard to the new districts which the rail | ways will open up, and there will be no abatement of the rush to the Canadian j prairies during the coming season. ! Some time since a poet in the columns of the Toronto "Star" had the follow ing stirring lines, which throb of the Western spirit: | There's a stir In tho nlr, there's a thrill through the land, there's a movement toward the Great West; And the eyes of all men for thp moment are turned to the country that wo lovo the best; For 'tis Canada's (Jay In the world's cal endar, and to this merry toast let us sup; "Here's to the land, the young; slant of the North, where the prairies are open ing up!"

Then, once more the toat.., "rv man rise, and cheer ere he sips nvi. the cup: "Here's to the land, the young giant of tho North where the prairies are open ing up!" EDUCATIONAL ERRATA. The retirement of Dr. William A. Packard as Kennedy professor of Latin language and literature and the science of language at Princeton marks the close of io years of active teaching. Granta, the Cambridge undergrad uate organ, urges reform in the Eng lish university education. It says: "Rendered unfit for business, the only places open for the graduates are schoolmastering and the church, and in the uttermost parts of the earth are to be found graduates of Oxford and Cambridge, now become laborers, beggars and outcasts.' Prof. E. W. Clark, of Ripon col lege, Wisconsin, has been honored by the bureau of university travel in Rome in a manner which will make it possible for him togo abroad each summer and secure a new stock of material for the lectures he is deliv ering. He has been engaged to con duct the teachers' excursions to the homes of the ancients and will spend the next ten years in thi3 manner. A step has been taken toward the organized athletic training of Amer ican schoolgirls by the forming of a girl's branch of the Public Schools' Athletic league, of New York city. Speaking of this movement, Miss Grace Dodge said that the methods of training must bo different from those applied to the boys. A prize of 550 was offered by Mrs. Heniy Siegel for the best method of combin ing the esesntials of moral and ath letic discipline. Heartless Dame.
