A MILLION A YEAR.
This Van Sum la Annually Expsnded In
Advertising- by One Conoira.
Mucb ha been written and laid
about advsrtiaera and advertising, but
it is perhaps not generally known that,
not only is tbe greatest amouat of ad
vertising dona In America, but that
tbe largest persouat advertiser 1 an
American. Several houtes. both in
Europe and America, expend upwards
of half a million dollar per year in
advertising; but the advertiser referred
to has actually expended dnrius the
past year over million dollar wholly
m advertising, inn vast sum of money
has not been squandered, but has been
carefully, judiciously, soientifioallv ex
pendeuded, and it has paid a profit of
fifty cents for every dollar exyended.
Here Is certainly a valuable lesson
for those who advertise or have ad
vertising iu contemplation. It shows
that half-hearted attempts at wooing
the God less of Fortune by advertising
are not profitable, and that even ex
teud'd fforts are unprofitable unless
done systematically, scientifically and
with the greatest care and judgment.
It is not our purpose to give tbe name
of this advertiser, who, besides beiug
the largest one in the world, is cer
tainly the most retiriag and modest,
but we may say, incidentally, that he
ia the projector of the pre-digested
food, Paskula whieh, however, is only
a small part of the business transacted
by this concern. Men of this special
gHuins are rare and tbe success which
attends their efforts still rarer, but
such success shows what can be accom
plished by well conceived plans and
superior effort.

Ttae ship that was struck by the light

Most ships now have them. In the ship on
which I served my time we had a platinum
rod on each truok, with wire conductors
passing through Klass insulators down the
backstays. On the least sign of thunder
the ends ot these wires wore thrown over
the side. On durk nights, when there was

Bits. The Use of Glasses.
Those persons who find it necessary to
hold any object noarer than fourteen inches
from their eyes, who tlnd that their eye
become dry and itching on reading, need
glasses.
Persons under forty years of age should
not wear glasses until Uie accommodating
power of the eye has been suspended and
the exact stute of refraction determined by
a competent ophthalmic surgeon. The
spectacle glasses sold by peddlers generally
are hurtful to the eves nf t.hnna n-),i ......l

Bueei glass, aim not systematically ground.
No matter how nerfentlv the li
made, unless they are mounted in a suitable
name aim properly prncea Detore the eye,
discomforts will arise from their prolonged
HUP
Persons holding objects too near the face
endanger uie sarety ot their eyes and incur
tbe risk of becoming nearsighted.
The nearsighted eye is au uusound eye,
and should be fullv cnrnwtrd with a ,rl.,t
notwithstanding the fact that. it.
