It aptly illustrates what is being done in this businese at the present time. We are making extensive changes that we hope will be mutually beneficial. Changes that will make it easier for you t , select goods, and will give us greater advantages for displaying u erohandise. During these changes busi- ness will go on the same as usual.

The new school books, by Mr James, the Deputy Minister of Agriculture of Ontario, the title of which is "Agriculture" is in the press, and will be published by Mr Morang, at an early date. The price is 25 cents. From advance sheets of the book which are before tie it may be predicted that it will be useful beyond the bounds of the school. room, and will have a considerable sale among those who are actually engaged in the tilling of the ground. It contains what the farmers want to know: it is written in the aimplest and most intellig- ible language, and it is capitally illustrat- ed. As a compendium of agricultural knowledge it should certainly meet the views of those who ate beginning to wake up to the fact that brains are as much required in farming as in any other business, and in the long run it is the intelligent ag- riculturist that wins. In the production of this book Mr James has performed a nation at eervioe. The marvel is how such a book can be sold for 25 oente.

And a man may be a holy terror to shoot, but not carry enough s.mmunition to kill a chipmunk. • No merchant can sell enough "Slater Shoes" to hold an agency, unless he keeps enough " Slater Shoes " in -Steek to sell. He can't supply the needs of six shapes of feet, if he keeps only one shape of shoes in stock—nor can he fit a No. 8 foot with a 7% Z shoe, without hurting the foot, the shoe, his own trade, and the makers' repute. But—most merchants would be glad to put in few Ipairs of "Slater Shoes" in order to get the benefit of "Slater Shoe" advertising, which would bring people to their store so that they might sell other shoes which are"just as good." (N.B. Stick a pin in here at "just as good.") Sometimes the "Slater Shoe" customer would be "easy" and buy the "just as good" shoe ---and some- times he'd be sober and wouldn't. But in both cases be would ask himself "what in thunder we meant by advertising a "Slater Shoe" Agency, which hadn't enough "Slater Shoes" in stock i to fit a one legged man." Now we wouldn't mind the loss of the sale so much. And we merely lift an eyebrow at the tricks of the trade. But we have very strong views about wasting our shoes—and advertising our Agency rights upon such a poor "bluff" as this kind of representation would be. Though not reckoned bloodthirsty, we would kill an Agency like this on discovery, if we never could get another in that town. We don't want any "bluff" agencies to fool the public, and break the promises we make in over two hundred newspapers. GEO. T.
