Without doubt many people were l ight
glad to soo the end of 1881, and to know
. that Mother Shipton was a fraud. Let not
such persons rejoice too much, for here
comes a Hartford man who says that it is
a mistake t-*. limit the period of the dame’s
prophecy with the .‘list of December, INSl.
He holds that the time should be compu
ted under the old siyle', which would ex
tend the year 1881 to the tilth of March
next. . So there aro Rome eighty-odd days
in which to fulfil! the prophecy. Whut
an uncomfortable bore this Hartford man
is, to be sure.

Tint holts in silver coins, which havo
become of late so general a nuisance, arc
usually attributed to a nefarious industry
which seeks to save idippiugs or punrh-
illgs of the metal. Jloulitb ss this slow
and laborious mod - of accumulating a
fortune may be practiced to some extent:
but is it the chief cause of the perfora
tions? Some light may bo thrown upon
this subject by largo orders h.tely re
ceived at the I'nited Stab s mint, outrun
ning any possibility of supply, for new
dimes “to be used as bangles." Perhaps,
it the truth were known, a remarkably
large fraction of the perl’crated silver
pieces would be found due not to a wi*b
to cheat, but to tln.tr use as ornaments, |
the holes being necessary for the wire or j
cord that fastens them, and when tiny
become dull by age and wear they are
discarded t »r prosaic use as money.

The Indianapolis Joitriml has an ad
mirable article on “The Evolution of Ad
vertising, in tli: course of which it is
very truly sail!: “Adv* rtising has been,
r adjunct of modirn life,
lulion. Nowit is a fine,
as well a* a useful art. It is inseparable
from business. It is business. It con
tinues to develop. Now it is well under
stood that the journal w hich sustains it
self for ilscharacteristics as a newspaper
an advertising medium
Lcurd.s, mere advertising
l preposterous sign and
passed. He who would
! command the eye of the public must
seek that medium which for other reu-
! sons com maud public respect. A good
newspaper, which is eagerly seized in
! morning because it is a map of the busy
world of the day before, can have no ri-
i v.d as an advertising medium. It meets
a thousand eyes to winch the little iraud
living alone on the credulity of its ad
vertising patrons never comes. It im
parts to ilo ir advertisements sonmwlmt
! of the dignity land good faith of its eol-
iims. The result is that the best news
papers are the best advertising mediums,
and become so only when they have
earned and maintained a character for
ent» ipri e and r* liability."
