THE GENERAL FAVORITE-

Hnlf a Onturj- Behind.

It ii at least fifty yean too late to dispute the pqipudtiim that uevapaper advertising pays. The reverse may hare laeu true when Rip Van Winkle went to sleep, hut Rip has waked up. and even "Schneider" can bark out the truth to him. Not only does newspaper advertising par, but it pays well, and on the whole 1 letter than it ever did before. A few yean ggo tiewsjia|ieni were not what they are now. They were fewer in number, and in all that characterizes good uewsjiapcr management they were inferior to the newapaiars of the present Remembering that our allusion is chiefly to the ihpns of the smaller cities and country towns, no one who miliar with the facta of twenty-five yean ago will dispute with us when We say that, wonderful as has been much of the lirogrcsa of the last two or three decade*, the advance in respect to our newspapen has not been surpassed in any other dlIn the days of the past advertising paid. Conspicuous instances of'men who grew rich by early perception of the ad-

vantages of newspaper adveitiring read- -

iVy come to mind, while the truth that thousands of persons who achieved no

jiersonal celebrity mad* handsome profits - '

by the same means can be easily shown. In this day the newspapers have much to commend them which they did not then poxaesa. They are better printed, for one thing: they are more prosperous and have a better commercial standing, for -another. The papers of the daia specially referred to have at their command, a reading matter service which puts them fully on a level, as to matter, with the most prosperous mttrupolitan ‘aily. And so an advertiser, when prerating his announcement for insertion, may feel, confident that his advertisement wiU he printed in good company, and, ainyfc these axe also the times of perfected printing machinery, in good, legi-

ble form also.

Jbereforr shire newspaper advertising has ali^ars paid, even In the day when newspapers were, by comparison, poorly ufnted and only moderate!v edited, the bnaineas man is standing in bis own light and casting (!»-blackest kind of a sladuw if he is m<r» student and • liberal user of newspaper advertising. A a .01,1 T.Irk la a Sew Me Etm-t fakirs have been reaping a big harve-t fromthe sale of little glans vials like tie we nard to bold homasrpathic pellets. The vials coat at wholesaleja frticuf a cent apiece, and the fakira have been retailing them for five cent* each. Their value a» a street hawker’s -novelty consists in the fact that a remarkably funny practical joke can be jilayed with them. Each of the little bottles now being sold in the streets has a small hole drilled or blosrn in the bottom. When filled with water and ctirked tightly the . rial will apparently be perfectly sound. The water will not escape from the little hole in the bottom of the rial until the eoik is withdrawn from the other end. loon as the cork is pulled out, however, the water .will run put of the little

hole.

The joke consists in offering a filled and corked bottle to the chosen victim with the qnesttun. ••Can yon tell i what that perfume is in that bottler" . first the victim attempts to amrll through the cork. Failing to perceive any odor in this way he naturally withdraws the cork, and the chaneea are about twenty to one that the contents of the buttle trickle down his coat sleeve ' wet his arm to th^elbow. ’ perpetrator of the joke laughs fiendishly and the victim says: "By Jove, that It '• beat thing I've seen yet! Where can t ooeT The trick is an old one. but h probably never been sold before. —New York Sun.
