They oonsider that the mere purchase of space iu an advertising medium and the insertion'of an adver- tisement should forthwith bring them in a great deal of business—in fact enough to justify them in saying that advertising pays. When their attempt does not have this immediate result, they at once Dome to the conclusion that advertising does not pay. A business man, who runs a trial ad- vertisement in a medium for a single insertion, hopes thereby to get returns from every reader of the paper. When only one or two answer, instead of being gratified, he is disappointed. He forgets the dozen or so more, who noted hid ad- vertisement, but who, by reason of the indolence of human nature, neglected to reply at onoe, and gradually forgot about it, There was no second insertion to gnioken the memory and no third in- sertion to stir them up. The effect of the advertisement was lost on them, Then there is another aspect of the case. Looking from the readers stand- point, he sees one firm advertising spaamodioally and another firm adver• tieing regularly. What is his natural conolnsien as to the merits of the two houses, Undoubtedly he will be led, perhaps unconsciously, to attribute greater solidity and progreseivenees to the ficin which trees space regularly. This is a pyehological fact. It means that it pays to advertise regularly, whether the advertiser cantrace direct results or not. Again, an advertiser who asserts that advertising does not pay, oftentimes has only himself to blame. There is a way to advertise Well and there is a way to advertise i11. It is for the advertiser himself to make his publicity tell, Do not be inclined to blame the medium and, blame adveetising in general. Rather ask if yen are obtaining the best possible effects in the oomposltion of your 'advertisement, both literary and typographical.

Is was the resort of a Small leader and a party of peanut politicians. Borden himself could not conceal that he was ashgrned of the role he was called upon to fill, but he was pushed on in his foolish course by the disgruntled and bitter mob of incapables and "needs must when the devil drives." It was not contended that the treaty was other than excellent for Canada; it was admitted that the ar- rangement, made not by hostile legis- lation but by friendly agreement, wee suitable to moot the immigration quest- ion; audit was granted that the carrying of a motion like Borden's, meant the dennnoiation of the treaty and the loss of its advantages. Yet in the hope of emberassing the Government, or piaoing it in a false position, the leader of the 'ory party in the Commons stooped to this unpatriotic littleness. A aka. less able and gifted Premier than Bir Wilfrid might have made him sup humiliation and held him up to the soorn'and con- tempt of the public, whose interests he sought to betray for petty party gain. Sir Wilfrid's brief and brilliant speech covered the entire ground, and left SIr. Borden no corner of refuge from the condemnation of all fair-minded men; and the verdict of the House, at 3 a. m, was 100 to 45 against Mr. Borden's amendment. It was a pitiful exhibition of small potato politics, and was proper- ly rebuked.

Heredity, prenatal influences end natural environment each contribute to make us wbat we are, but the habits we are allowed to form in our early seals, especially habits of thought and expres. sioo, are much greater factors in the outcome of our lives. The formation of habits of neatness, order, obedience and indi;stry have long been conceded to be important, but of even grearer importanoa is the oulti• vatiou of habits of cheerfnluetrs, For- bearaaoe, patience and forgiveness as contributing to soul growth, spiritual development; and so fitting ne for great- er usefulness and enjoyment—both in this life and the life to come. If parents have neglected to establish such habits in their children, those children, when of older growth, should strive to form them themselves, for no one is properly equipped for life without them. The formation of good and pleasant habits and the checking of or eradicating of evil and unpleasant ones should be one of our chief .businesses in life. `Vouches the Heart Sad Story of a Mother of Four Children laid low with Consumption What are Canadians doing to Combat this Disease? We are shocked at the tragedies that the newspapers record almost daily, through -railway accidents, explosions, filling buildings, and other causes.

On the evening before Ole dissolution, with an Icy coldness taking possession of hint and: the death rattle beginning to be audible, Goethe, with his charming daughter-in-law by his side, would talk of nothing but ills pet theory of color, of the treaty of Basle, of his desire that the children should go to the thea' ter, of his plans for the near future. A.s sleep did not come with the night, he called for a newly mean:iiea volume of history, and covered his inability to read it with a joke. Even at 7 o'clock the next n)orniug, just three and a bait hours before he died, he sent for a portfolio to talk optics and was setting himself to classify some gapers when the last agony seized him.

Decision should never in handling horses be confounded with unwise de- termination to have things your way. Iu this applicatiou it means the faculty of doing the right tiling at the right in - stint and may be cultivated by fre- quent practice with all sorts of horses, and of course no hands were ever de- veloped by handling any ono animal or any one kind of a horse. It is decision that gives the band tbt moment the horse yields; that uses the roughest methods at a pinch, for hands are by no means always delicate of touch; that frustrates the most determined at- tempts of kicker, rearer or bolter; that picks the best road; that makes, the animal carry himself to the best ad- vantage for the purpose of the moment. Decision is very close to intuition in effect. Decision dominates the situ- ation at many critical moments, and the horse is quick to discern and to pre- sume upon its absence.

To Insure Privacy of Miall. All private and confidential corre- spondence, according to a postoffice in- spector, should either be sealed with was or else addressed and stamped on the back instead of the front, Sealing with wax is an excellent insurance of privacy, but it is a difficult and awk- ward operation, and wax and a match, candle and seal are not always at band.
