Advertising may be likened Ull-
to a two edged sword iu that it
xsuts bnlh ways. Its effect on the
public is the only one to which
much attention lias been called,
but its influence upon the mer¬
chant himself is hardly loss im¬
portant. Alertness for new goods,
low prices, bargains, the grasp of
opportunities, may nil be gauged
by the amount of advertising a
merchant does. The man who does
jiot advertise is slow, indifferent,
pot up to the times and not very
eager to give his customers the
newest and best of everything.
Advertising educates not only the
Buying public, but the merchant
as well.—Ex.
The wisdom of the matter is
thus expressed bv the Darien Ga¬
zette: “The legislature will re¬
main in session fifty days for the
reason that very little can be ac¬
complished in twenty davs. It
may possibly bo wise to hold a
ghort session next year but the
coming session will be an import¬
ant one and tho members should
not bo cramped for time. We
should look at Ibis matter from a
business point of view. If the leg¬
islature rema.insd in session but
twenty day* it wot.J 1 probably
have but very little time to devote
to overhauling the pension sys¬
tem. If the solons want tp reform
things why we say give then? pH
the lime they want.”
Charles Thornton, a fairly well-
to-do Long Island farmer, wants
a wife but imposes certain condi¬
tions on candidates for a corner
in his affections, For instance,
tho lady must be a good house¬
keeper not over thirty years of
ng«. He *s willing to bt?y his wife
two gowns ovary year, to cost not
moro than $20 ouch, with shoos,
lints, etc. to correspond, Tho fu¬
ture Mrs. Thqrnton must agree to
forego hjgh-hpoled slippers, opeti-
wqrk stockings, cigarettes and
poodle dogs, the would be bride
groom thinking that speh frivoli¬
ties are not suitod to a farmer’s
wife.
Why They Married.
An edit of seqt qut cjrcujnr let¬
ters to a largo number of married
men, and asked thorn why they
married. Here are some of the
answers;
I didn’t intend to do jt.
Because I did nQt havo tho ex¬
perience I have now.
That’s wlmt I’ve boon trying
for eleven years to find out

more distinguished to have a fit.e
brain than a fine body. Nearly j
all the world’s greatest writers
were puny physically. Many of
them were diseased, deformed,un-

There was nothing to distract

Practical Religion.
We want religion that gooa in¬
to the family and heaps the hus¬
band from being spiteful when
the dinner is late; keeps the wife
from heing fretful whan the hus¬
band tracks the newly-washed
floor with his muddy boots, and
■nukes the husband mindful of thi
scraper and the door mat; amuset.
the children as well ns instructs
them; projects thohoneymoon in¬
to the harvest moon, and makes
the happy hours like the faster
fig tree, hearing in its bosom tit
ouco the beauty of tho tender
blossom and tho glory of tho
ripeuodfru.it. We want a religion
that bears uot oiily on the sinful-
pess of sin, hyton the rascality
of lying and stealing.
The religion that is to advance
the world will not ptirt all the big
strawberries and peaches at the
top and all the bad ones at the
bottom.
The religion that is to sanctify
the world pays its debts, it does
not consider forty cents returned
for one hundred given, is accord¬
ing to gospel, thongh it is accord¬
ing to Jaw. It looks on a man who
promises to pny fifty dollars on
demand, with interest, and who
neglects to pny in on demand,
with or without interest, as a liar.
—Christian Index.
How About It?
If a man wants something to
worship, says an exchange, some¬
thing to delight his eyes, some¬
thing to provide relaxation when
tho day’s work is done, he should
marry a golden haired maiden. It
ho wants passionate dovotion anil
poetic fervor he should select a
girl with ravon tresses and dark-
brown eyes; but he must run tho
risk of a vehement temper and a
jealous disposition. If ho is a qui¬
et business man or a farmer lie
should marry his physical oppo¬
site, because the contrast is more
piquant. But if he is a man de¬
pendent upon his brain for n liv¬
ing, his first need is sympathy,
and this will be found in the
womau of the same coloring and
temperament.
Wesleyan’s New President
Tho Macon Evening News has
the following to say of Hon. Du¬
pont Guerry, who lias just been
elected president of Wesleyan Fe¬
male college:
“Mr. Guerry is now a member
of the law firm of Guerry & Hall,
his partner being Hon. Jos. H.
Ilall, a member of tho legislature
from Bibb county.
“Mr. Guerry was a candidate
for governor last year on the pro¬
hibition ticket. Ho has always
been a strong advocate of what lie
conceived to bo right and has
reared in Macon a family that ex¬
emplifies the virtues for which In-
has stood. He is a man of won-
derfttl energy and strung intellect,
combined with purity of charac-
ter ? and those who have been
lieurd tq express themselves say
that nq better choice could have
made for tl*e presidency of
Wesleyan. It is ejected that he
be to Wesleyan what Hon.
B. Hill has been to the
University. He and Mr.
resided for years as next door
on Orange streot, and
their idons are not at variance
in respict to man’s duty to his
follow man.
“Mr. Guerry came to Macon
from Sumter county. He was ap¬
pointed by President Cleveland as
United StatoB attorney.
He has been conspicuously suc¬
cessful as a lawyep, and stands
among the first as q model and
progressive citizen. Throughout
Ius cftIW assistance ho hn9 ht f from ,lbl his ° a,ui de¬
wife, who will go with him
his college work.”

Some suhtlo influences cou-
spired to bring Lewis Alton and
his wifo, Anna, together in the
Gates uvenuo magistrate’s court,
iu Brooklyn, and to end in a ro-
mantb way the abandonment
proceedings instituted by the wife.
When their names were called bv
Magistrate Furlong the woman
had their baby on her lap, and as
she star'ed to rise she felt her bus-
band's hand on her arm. bhe
Jookod nt him in a surprised wav,
turned pole, tottered and fell
fainting to the floor. Alton caught
the baby aB it slipped from its
mother’s arm, but was unable to
break her fall. Handing the in-
font to a bystander Alton picked
up his wife and carried her to the
street. Her counsel told the court
she had been taken ill and asked
an adjournment. Tho request was
granted.
When Mrs. Alton recovered tho
two embraced, tho baby wus re¬
turned io them und together they
went to their homo. Alton is 25
years old and his wife is three
years younger. They quarreled
and the wifo wont to court and got
an order for him to pay her $5 a
week. By chance they sat side by
side in court. They did not speak
but Alton kissed the baby and
talked to it until the case was
called. Then it was she fuinted,
tob6 reconciled to him when she
recovered.—Brooklyn Engle.
