THE

SCIENCE Of advertiSING.

Advertising is both a science and an art.

We

have studied that science.

Do you know the ART ?

Can you write a catchy ad.?-very few can.

A good ad. is one that catches the eyes, thon holds the attention.

Can you do it? We can..

Let us write your ads for you, insert them in any paper you fancy, but let us write them for you, we like it, that will be our recompense. Choose your paper, put them in, watch results. ADVICE:-Insert them in the paper with the largest ciroulation-that is the secret of judicious advertising.

All the papers have the largest circulation, if you doubt it, ask them; then tell us, what they tell you.

The other fellow is losing all the money. True; that is the reason he is able TO KEEP

UP the advertising rate I

THEY KNOW that the other fellow is losing money hand over fist, if YOU doubt it, ask them, they will tell you candidly "it is quite [? Dtrue!”

The cheapest ad. Is the dearest. Why? do you know your bu

business and ask why ?

Do you advertise because of friendship? No? To reach the people? Yes, yes, that is the reason and itrean only be accomplished, by advertising in the paper that has the largest | circulation. But if they all have the elrodlation, I must advertise in all pera ? Quite so, If you thin

Decadence of British M.P's. -Politics has become a profes sion, lucrative to many, 7'nd the next few years will prove to LE whether the lowering of the standard of intelligence, and of the social standing of our legisla tore, will make or mar, the pro sperity and progress of the empire. The working man has unques tionably come into his own, and that probably is the primary |cause for tho, deduction made by the contributor to the Journal dos Dobats" when he says that Englishmen seem to show an indifference towards politics, and a disdain for the present day politician." From the imperial and Unionist standpoint, it must bo cunceded that the middle olasses of England have for some years betrayed grievous and dis

indifferance towarda dainful politics. They abstained from netion when socialistic doctrinalrog and-labour-moinbers awayed the party in power. When the more calightened community-"possssa- ing a stake in the old country awakene, a higher and nobler out- look will be taken of imperial affairs, and the politics of the

It appears that the report has been prosoated, and is bring with- hold from the public. Rumours to this effect have boon ourrent recently and inferences drawn: which we hope are unfounded.

'It transpired in the discussion that the contractor had made a claim, among other things, for interest on belated paymonts, amounting to $100,000, extending over e poriod of 27 months, these pay imonts not having been made bo- cause the work done by the con- trnotor had not been massured! | Why had it not been measured?

"General" Booth.

We have not the slightest doubt but that many B one who was less worthy of the honour than mir."General" Booth has been inter- red beneath the venerable roof of Westminister Abbey. Still, that does not necessarily imply that the honour should be socorded to the deceased head and founder of the Salvation Army. It is an in- disputable fact, in these days, no matter what it may have been in the more easy-going: Limes of the past, that as a place of burial. the Abbey should be reserved for men of pre-eminent distinction. "General" Booth, able organisor and universal sympathiser with the poor and needy, that he un- doubtedly was, and who went to work in their causa in a very practical way, cannot be placed on such a pedestal of distinction.. It will, therefore, be a grievous mistake if the portals of our noble valhalla are opened on this occasione
