STEWART If a merchant will take caro of his space, change his copy, keep it fresh, and put interesting matter into it, it will read assiduously and as regular- ly as the spiciest bit of Gossip. As it gets readers, so will the dealers get customers. Agressiyeness and confi dente are essential in advertising. Timid men do not succeed, It's the fellow who goes straight a head, full of self-confidence, forceful, bound to make his make his point; that's the man whose business thiiyes and flourishes Let I is advertisements breathe of honesty and truth Let every statement be evactly a fact—no more, no less—but rather let him understate the goodness of his wares than overstate them. Above all, put news in the ads. Aale1'eles. Before you buy a bicycle, see James Grieve. He handles the best imported and American wheels that are made.

The following are the reforms asked for by the Prisoners' Aid Association, in their circulars to county councils, one of which was read at the meeting of Huron council this week: 1. For each county to either establish a county house of Refuge, or to unite with one or more counties in establishing a dis- trict workhouse. 2. To make efficient provision in the county jail for the ab- solute separation of the young and comparatively innocent from old offend ere. 3. To provide the prisoners em- ployment. 4. To keep the jail supplied with good books. 6. To keep a small sum of money in the hands of the jailer to give ;temporary aid to discharged prisoners. 6 A small annual grant in aid of county prisoners on being dis charged from the Central Prison or the Meecr Reformatory at Toronto. Private Post Card. In our last issue we warned our readers against the use of private post cards, on the ground that a certain man had been made pay extra postage. Doubtless there must have been some misunderstanding as will be seen by the following naw regulations issued by the P 0 Department for the guid- ance of people taking advantage of the. new private post card: Private cards, prepaid by a one cent postage stamp affixed therecn, may be sent within the Dominion of Canada under the following regulations The card must be composed of ordi- nary card board not thicker than the material used for the official post card. The maximum size (having regard to the variety of form) must correspond as nearly as possible, with the size of the ordinary Canadian post card now in use, The minimum size must not be less than 3i inches by 2e inches, JOIINSTOriS RESOLUTIONS, Are usually made to take effect this month. THE NEXT 30 DAYS S3000. The days are lengthening. Sl;igh riding parties are having a big run this winter. Word has been received that Mr Henry Sweet, a 'step -brother of Mr. J. T. Westcott, was seriously ill at Slaghts, Colorado, with consumption, and was being taken care of by kind friends. Mr. Sweet was formerly a resident of this place and of Centralia. He serve 1 his apprenticeship with Mr. John Treble harnessmalter, Main street. Mr. J. H. Aiken, who has crossed the equator eight times, will lecture ou "Life in Southern Africa." iu the opera house, to -morrow (Friday) evening. Speaking of his app.arance in Essex Rev. Dr. 'Pascoe, formerly of Exeter, says: "Last evening Mr. J, H. Aiken gave a splendid entertainment under very unfavorable circumstances, there being several counter attractions in the towp. Yet a large company were highly gratified. The matter of the lecture told was of a most interesting character, and the picture illustrations thrown on the screen were superb. Airy organization which can avail itself of Mr Aikens' services as an entertainer, will act wisely in doing so." The storm which burst over this vic- inity and most all other parts of the province was Dne of the worst exper ienced for years, The blinding snow and strong winds made walking almost impossible, Trains due on • the L. & B were behind time Saturday night. The snow fall was tremendous, and as the snow was dry and the wind strong, enormous drifts were formed, and street traffic was very inconvenient. The Toronto Observatory reports the storm to have exceeded the amount of snow fall anvthing we have had for years. Traffic in the concessions were completely blocked for a time, but by Monday and Tuesday, loads of wood, brick, etc , were again being handled, The weather at present is all that could be desired. The card most not be folded, On the address side, upon which the postage stamp used in prepayment must be affixed, nothing may be writ- ten, printed or otherwise impressed, eke cept the name and address of the per- son to Whom the card is to be delivered and the name and address of the send- er of the 'card, and the words, "Private Post Card." Notiing',rnay be written, printed or otherwise impressed across the postage stamp On the reverse side of the card; any communication, whether of the nature of a letter or otherwise, may be written or printed. Nothing whatever may be attached to a private post card. 1'he infringement of any of the fore going rules will render the cards liable to letter postplge.

On Monday evening last a very de struetive fire broke out in the building between Senior's photograph gallery a nd Grigg's bookstore, occupied by Jas. Grieve, merchant tailor. The fire bell sounded about 8.45 and in a very short time ,both fire companies were on the spt. The, fire had gained fair headway but through the untir• ing exertions of our excellent fire brigade, was under control inside of two hours and notwithstanding the fact that Senior's gallery is only about two feet and Grigg's book store about eight feet from the burning building, neither of them were even scorehed. It was indeed a narrow escape, and speaks volumes for the firemen under their new officers—Chief Weeks and Captain McLaughlin. Mr. Grieve's sewing machines and other tools used in his workshop were badly damaged. There was a quantity of unfinished work des troved by the fire, and all of the shop furniture damaged. Flis loss is cover- ed by insurance in the Lancashire Fire Insurance Co, Capt. hemp, agent. The building is insured in the Wellington and Waterloo Ins. Co., for $100, Chas.

The item in last week's Advocate showing what a little girl in Teeteryille had accomplished with an investment of tiye cents, has called out the following from Miss Polly, the energetic president of the McGillivray Mission Band: $25 from 1 cent.—Miss Lezzie McDean, 13 years of age, daughter of Captain Alex McLean, of Goderich was given one, cent the 22nd of January! 1894.

This money was earned for and donated to Knox Church McGillivray Mission 3and,God- erich. Now, then little f;riks,--and ol- der ones, too, for that matter—who can. beat this?
