The mere insertion of an adver tisement in any newspaper, is not all there is to successful advertising. Tin; newspaper selected may have a large circulation, yet the advertisement may prove of less actual value than one inserted in a' paper of smaller cir culation, but which has qualities not possessed by the laiger one. Every advertiser cannot pay for a selected space, still every advertiser wants and expects his advertisement . i .. ...! ...... , I ., 1;. ...... i.u ne ht-i-ii Jinu juuu, no matiui wuvjje it is placed or what its size may be. Aii advertiser is interested in not only the number but the class of readers hi 'advertisement reaches. It is import ant to him that his advertisement is not surrounded by other advertise ments which offer the same goods or which are of questionable character. The success of the Lkadkk 'is in a reat measure due to the great care it takes of every advertiser The extra quality of paper, of ink, and type used in the make-up of the paper gives it a pronounced appearance, and one which attracts ' attention everywhere. The Lkadkk claims for every advertisement in its columns some distinctive feature which attracts the reader. It also claims a class of advertisers whose names an; a guarantee of themselves, and who sell as they advertise. The great" advantage the Leadku possesses to advertisers of articles of merit, is. the fact of its being all Imme joint, with entirely new, fresh reading matter every " week, which brings it before a class of live readers who are tip with the times, noting carefully both the news and advertisements. The Leader is the only newspaper published in its city and county, has a large circulation in the metropolis of North Carolina, twenj,y-five miles dis tant, and outside of the daily news papers has a wider and larger circula tion than any other strictly weekly newspaper in the State. It is all and more than it claims, and advertisers appreciate tlie merits as a circulating medium, claimed and possessed, by the Leader. DEPARTMENT OF REWARDS No other" government department can poi it to so many and such flagrant abuses as are known in the Postoffice Department. From the appointment of its head, for efficient services ren dered, to the present day, there has been little to praise and much to con demn. - It has been essentially a department for profit and reward, the profit on w v tuu s . viiv vt iiiiiiiLi attutl LllU 1 15- ward of office to those who by ''meri torious services' advanced the inter ests of the administration. The cry of civil service reform which the ad ministration so zealously preached,but utterly ignored in practice in the Post - office Department, is one of the sins of commission which cannot be ex plained away on any grounds. The most notorious instance of this is the case of the Baltimore Postoffice . last Spring, where .the postoffice in lluence was used in the election and political assessments made on the em ployes. .Investigations are now being made as to these violations of the law and the testimony and facts in the case are decidedly against the Post- master General, although he claims it is a case of bulldoze of the Baltimore officials by the Civil Service Commis sion. This case has been ignored by the Department for a year, although reporter at the time by the Coramis sion for action according to the law. The quibble made bv the Postmaster . 1 . . , . General indicates that he wishes to evade carrying out the law on those guilty, simply because the vrolaters of the latv were working in the inter- q tiie: publican party. If there . ' , - , . is an instance of civil service reform 5,1 tlie .? ostal service in the South it has , never l;en made public. I he single purpose' of the Postoffice Department in its dealing with the SoJth seems j0 u; for administrative strength re gardless of the wishes of the majority of the people of the community. Ap pointments are made on the basis of the patronage which can be secured, especially so during the last few months, since the time was drawing near when the present administration would need an -'endorsment" from its "friends"' in the South. The threaten ed discontinuance of j the fast mail service from Boston to jTampa, Flori da, which has been and is now of most vital importance " to the. South, is an other disgraceful act of the Postoffice Department.even if the service be con tinued. The agitation and talk on the subject, engineered by the Postmaster General, has been injurious in its ef fect, as it has revived in many quar ters the remark "That anything is good enough for the South," and con sequently many who might otherwise have come South to settle, would, be deterred from coming to a section which was discriminated against in such an important service as that of the Postoffice Department. Mr. Wan amaker is. too good a business man to believe that the economy practiced in the discontinuance of the fast mail service South is an economical meas ure which in any way commensurates for the loss of this important service, therefore one must look further to see the real animus of the threatened danger. (Jan it be laid to "political expediency.'' that undebatable admin istrative refuge? The contemptible self-satisfaction of being a law unto limself, seems to prevail among the leads of each department, as is exhi bited by the petty actions of a Service which ought to be in sympathy with and strive for the best interests of all classes. A notable instance of this petty in tolerance is the case of the New York weekly periodical, Printers Ink, which for several months past has joen ruled against as second-class matter in the mails, and is compelled to pay third rate postage on its edi tion. The. law in the matter is plain. mt for reasons best known to the Postofiice Department no satisfaction js given to the protests of the editors of this paper, or explanations vouch safed for the Department's act of per secution, in debaring it from the nfails as second-class matter,' without hearing. The spirit uniformly manifested by the Postoffice Department has been extremely partisan, with a decided prejudice against the South. Any liberality displayed has been on poli tical grounds, with the idea of a hun dred fold return in benefits and credit to the head cf the Department. A Government department which affects every busines s, profession, and trade instead of bei ng used for the people and their best interests, has been made a political machine to . hold to gether a vast army of contributors to administrative wishes. The impres sion of Postmaster General AVana maker, as a Cabinet - officer, is aptly described in the following opinion as expressed by Mr. William D. Foulke,of Indiana, chairman of the special com mittee of the Civil Service Reform League for the investigation of the Federal Civil Service.' Mr. Fotjlke says : -I think that the appointment and retention of Mr. Wanamaker has been the darkest stain upon the present ad ministration. ; in his appointment Mr. Harrison conducted American politics to a depth of degradation hitherto unknown. Prior to Harri son's campaign, Vanamaker's politi cal l'ecord was entirely obscure. He had been a successful Philadelphia shopkeeper, not conversant with pub lic affairs, whose antecedents as well as his subsequent conduct showed his absolute unfamiliarity with public matters. To one reason and one only couia ins appointment be ascribed, namely, to the collection of a vast fund, amounting to several hundred thousand dollars, in the Harrison campaign. Wanamaker would never have been thought of except for these nnancial services. ELEMENTAL ENERGY. How long the earth can sustain life is a question which is often discussed by scientists. It has been pointed out that multitudes of races of animals have had their little day and vanished, and that human species need not ex pect to enjoy perennial existeuce:while as opposed to this it is argued that man's intelligence may enable him to avert what seems to be a universa fate. The exhaustion of coal would not, of course, mean the end of the human race, for man lived for tens of thousands of years before he learned how to use coal; and the radiation from the sun, if it could be garnered I up and employed directly as heat and indirectly as a source of power, would be capable of supplying every con ceivable want of humanity for ages. It is, however, obvious that the pos sibility of the continued existence of the human race! depends fundamen tally upon the question of heat; and there is, therefore, no shirking the j fact that if heat,: or what is equivalent j to heat, shall not last, neither will man last. . , In the current number of the tort. nightly Review Sir Robert Ball.the En. glish astronomer, in an article on this subject, argues that, outside of the sun's action, the few other direct or ndirect sources of heat which might be relied upon lack the necessary per- manence. ine sun, according to feir iobert,contains just a certain number of units of heat, actual or potential, and this is at present being shed around with the most appalling extra v agance. i ro lessor Langiey savs that there is in Pennsylvania enough coal to supply the wants of the United States for a thousand years; and yet if it should be extracted and burned in one vast conflagration all the heat developed would not be equal to that which the sun pours forth in the thousandth part of each single sec ond. There is, it is tiue, no reason for a belief that there is the slightest differ ence between the radiance which the sun shed on the earth thousands of years ago and that which warms us to-day, or that climate changes have been caused by an alternation i in the rate at which the sun diffuses heat; and yet the conclusion is forced upon us that the incessant radiation from he sun must be producing a profound effect upon its stores of energy. It was long a mystery how the sun could retain its heat so as to continually supply its great rate of expenditure;' and the suppositions that would most naturally occur were found to be in sufficient. Helmholtz, however, has solved the long-vexed problem. The sun is a gaseous body, not a solid ;and while a solid body loses temperature as it loses heat, a gaseous Lbody does not. And it may happen that the very fact that the sun is losing heat may be the cause of its actually gain ing in temperature and becoming hot ter. Sir Robert Ball, however, reaches the conclusion that then? will come a time when the temperature of the sun will decline and that ultimately ex haustion will follow. The utmost amount of heat that it would ever have been possible for the sun to have contained would supply its radiation for 18,000,000 years at the present rate of diffusion. It has already dis sipated about four.fifths of the energy with which it was originally endowed ; and it is, therefore, admitted that the sun may hold out: for 4,000,000 or 5,000,000 years, but not for 10,000, 000 years. : Science and Lieutenant Totten are thus at wide disagreement.

Mrs. Rorer's "New Menus for May" are filled with appetizing dishes suited to stimulate the flagging appetite of the spring-time. "A Bride's Perplexity, and What Came of It" by Amy M.
