But is waste of this character con fined to advertising? By no means. It costs the average advertiser one tenth of a cent per copy to insert his announcement in a publication. It costs the same advertiser from 50 cents to $1 to send a salesman to make a call. But can a salesman be sent out to canvass without waste? The answer is, No. Some of those on whom he calls a j are out; some refuse to see him oth ers refuse to listen. The man who says no one reads advertisements would stretch the truth no further if he said no one listens to salesmen. A man in buying space in the news paper occupies a position in many re spects similar to a man who rents a j store. Perhaps the rental 01 tne store is $5,000 per year. Is the store ilways full of customers? By no T - I 4- Xl.. 4-vws- means, in many stores at. una nine of the year you will find no one but the clerks. This of course, repre sents waste waste of rent. They say that in a battle it takes a man's weight in lead to kill him, so many shots miss the mark. The man who condemns advertising because he does not read it might be called a consummate ass, but we would not think of using language so violent. We merely state that he !s suffering from an anaemic condi tion ol the brain cells. Athens (O.) Messenger. It seems strange that there are merchants doing a retail business in this age, who are skeptical on the subject of newspaper advertising. If they give the newspaper an ad it is because some other merchant does, or else on the ground of "helping out" the local paper. Either of these classes will also actively refuse to acknowledge that they made a single sale through their advertising. And the reason is plain. They do not go at it with the purpose of making it pay. If they approached Public Opiniun. There has never been a time in the history of the world when Public opinion played such an important part as it does at this time. The fact is being recognized in every sec tion of the country in every section of all countries, indeed, and, when once recognized, it will be all the better for all concerned. But great as is the power of public opinion, it has not as yet reached its limit.

Says the Monroe Enquirer: "The shutting down of a cotton mill her and there for a few days or a few weeks for that matter is not going to lower the price of cotton any more than did that wild talk a year or two igo about burning the surplus cot ton to put the price up. The short Top is what is doing the work for better prices for cotton and -here's is not any chance to make more cotton this season. as we understand it, the object of the cur tailment of manufactured products, is not to lower the price of cotton and it was not expected to have that effect, but to raise the price of cot ton goods to something like a parity muv Vio market for raw cotton. It. VY 1 Lit LUV is believed that this can be done by wiping out the surplus and diminish ing the output of the mills. Certain ly, no one will take the ground that cotton mill men ought not to get higher prices for their goods, and a curtailment of production is the only known way to secure better prices. Cotton is higher to-day than when urtailment was decided upon and the higher cotton goes the worse becomes the condition of the cotton nill man unless there is a rise in the urice of cotton goods.

One is a knisman of the Russian czar and the other is backed by Emperor Francis Joseph, or Austria. One bears the same name as the Austrian emperor. And he's a prince of Brag anza. The Russian aas a name as long as a tall man's arm, and is duke of Leuchtenberg. Both are reported to have made overtures to George Gould for his daughter's hand, but ! he question rests with the youug lady. It is to be hoped that she will profit by the results of previous foreign alliances made by many American girls, and marry a good strong Ameri can, without title, simply a plain citi zen. Both suitors are preparing to cross the Atlantic, which will afford a little sport to New York pipers, anxious to recount to the minutest details, their movements. If the trouble of the former Lcunt- ess Liastenane nave not maav "-""fe" to satisfy the Goulds with a goul brick bargain, the family must be a hard one to profit by experience. Prince de Sagan, the countess': second husband, is enlisted in the fight in behalf of the young Austrian prince. Very probably Gould, the father, will look closely in to his bargian, and will be securely assur ed that his daughter's future hap piness depends on landing a foreign title. It's another race for a fortuue which the society world will watch with interest. Knoxville Journal and Tribune.

" In point of variety and scope the forest work done on the liiltmore estate, in North Carolina, is remarka ble. The forests, which cover 130, 000 acres, are made profitable by the production of various forms and material. Four million feet of lumber, 5,000 cords of tannicacid wood and fuel, a thousand cords of tan bark, and several hundred cords of pulp wood are cut every year. At the same time the forest through wise manage ment is bettered and is steadily in creasing in value. Workmen em ployed along the boundaries of the forest do duty as fire guards. Thus fire protection is secured at least throughout the accessible parts of the track. In connection with all lumbering operations permanent logging roads are built. These minimize the pres ent cost of transportation, and will greately reduce the cost of marketing future crops. Thus the extenuon of the roads is steadily adding to the investment value of the forest. Moreover, they serve also as a net work of fire lines. Forest planting is practiced where fire will not threaten its success. th,q ovnprimpntal work m silvicul- JLli vw ture which is done at Biltmore is certain to make important additions to the science and practice of f oresty. that In.' never heard him tell a soiled I anecdote or ut tc r an unclean word in ! conversation.
