UNCLE JOSH.

A Vegetable

One of the most curious natural productions of the West Indies is the famed vegetable fly, an insect about the size and color of a drone bee, but withoiit wings. In the month of May it buries itself in tbe oartli and begins to vegetate. By the beginning of June a sprout has issued from the creature's back and made its appearance above the surface of the ground. By the end of July the tiny tree, known on the islands as the fly tree, has attained its full size, being then about three inches high, but a perfect tree in every particular, much resembling a delicate coral branch. Pods appear on its branches as soon as it arrives at its full growth these ripen and drop off in August.

Instead of containing seeds, as one would naturally suppose, these pods have from three to six small, hard worms upon their interior. The pod soon shrivels up in the hot sun and bursts open on about the third day after becoming detached from the parent stem. The little worms roll out and bury themselves in the sand, and after undergoing the change incident to all caterpillars become flies, which, when the proper time comes, bury themselves in the ground to furnish nourishment for another miniature "fly tree."

Dr. Martinisque, of the Royal institute, who has received several boxes of these flies upon which he has made repeated experiments, gives a long scientific explanation for the seeming impossibilities attributed to this insect, which is, at best, wholly unsatisfactory to the general reader, even though his coworkers in that branch of science may consider it explanatory and conclusive.—Cor. St. Louis Republic.

Woman's Influence.

What is so good an advertisement aa the confidential advice of a woman of influence? 1 know nothing which approaches it. You can remember a dozen books which have been made by this sort of feminine recommendation. It sold a hundred thousand copies of Marion Ilarland's "Common Sense Cook Book," and more copies of "Little Lord Fauntleroy:" it made The Ladies' Dome Journal, and it makes the fortunes of baby food people every year. Suppose your child is ill, and Mrs. Smuh tells your wife that Canteloupe'a foc.l saved her baby's life, a hundred dol bill would not be too much to pay for a box or bottle of the food, and so it goe.-i.— Art in Advertising.

The sense to advertise. -Tom Masson In Clothior and furnisher.

Good NatareU dvertising. The merchant or business man in any line who desires to reach the public, and profit in doing so, shoul give his announcements and invitations a genial, frank and good natured cast. The advertisement that bears on its surface the indications of a disordered liver does not attract. It repels, and instead of doing the writer good, it injures him and drives people elsewhere. The merchant who smiles through his announcements and over his counter makes friends and money. "We go this way but once," and people turn aside and pay good money to moet a warm hand clasp and a smile.

How Advertise.

The question of method in advertising is one having infinite range. The matter is one of the very first importance, and cannot be too cavefuily studied. One thing about it that may be set down as true is that every man's advertising, in its language and style, slioul.1 be c.'uiriwteristic—characteristic of the m:tn, characteristic of his stoe!:. characteristic of his commercial positio.1. For every man has his peculiarities of development. When he speaks we know it is he, though we may not be looking at him. and his advertisement should represent him like 'his voice. He should put his experience, his industry, his enterprise, into his advertising. It is astonishing to see how merchants who are tireless in their industry—at the store early and late, close buyers, eager seekers after business, quick to embrace opportunities for enlargement of lines and extension of trade—it is surprising to see how such business men continue their advertising in the language of the old rut. and announce in the same words and the same type that did duty for them years ago that "B. Franklin (or any other man, the name doesn't matter) is still to be found at the old stand, with a choice stock of dry goods, notions, etc.. etc." (The two etc.'s are indispensable in an "ad" of this kind.)

There is another and abetter way to do: If a merchant has any snap, any energy, in himself, let him show it in his advertising. If he has any bargains in his store, let hhn suv so. If he has connections whir!) enable him to sell better goods, or he same goods at lower prices, than anybody else, let likn say that say it plainly, strongly and in a way that will carry conviction of truthfulness and on the same principle that leads liim to treat visitors to his store so that they will call again, let him write hia advertisement so that his next advertisement will be looked for if you get a person's attention once try to hold it. The whole thing is summed upia this: One should titiuly advertising as he does every other tV.'partment of his business. Advertising is a science, simple, it is true, as to its elements, but requiring more tl system than many of our have been accustomed to gi

Value

of

Changing Advertisementa

Piclriui- nn an old journal the other day I found a statement to the effect that a certain patent medicine firm had not (at that time) changed the wording of its advertisements for thirteen years. While I am a thorough believer iu judicious advertising I doubt if such advertising as that would accomplish any good after a few months of publication. No doubt ninety-nine readers out of a hundred would throw aside the paper at sight of the familiar hejwling with the exclamation, "The same old story." Though publishers may save considerably in composition bills by permitting advertisements to "stand" in their columns for a year or more, they must lose considerable in the ill effect upon other would be advertisers.

It is to the interest of publishers that their patrons shoul.l find that "it pays to advertise." and those advertising columns are most attentively perused which are most frequently changed. A publisher who allows an advertisement to stand without change in his columns for over three months is doing his own business an absolute harm. Advertisements are being looked upon as news, and as such they should be fresh and interesting. Invite your patrons to make frequent changes in their announcements. It will pay them, and this will have a reflex action upon your own receipts.—National Publisher and Printer.

A New Profession.

The writing of advertis^nents is asst .ing the dignity of a profession. Mut.ii of the style of writing is charmingly "^ductive, and withal contains no little uformation of a scholarly nature, as many reader has discovered after perusing a half column with quickening interest to find in the end how he may become a Hercules in strength or a beauty by the use of certain elixirs! There is more money in the writing of advertisements than in legitimate literature. Agencies solicit the writing of advertisements and guarantee appropriate illustrations, and the insertion of same in whatever newspaper or periodical the advertiser may desire. Most of the celebrated advertisers write their own notices. "It is only needful to repeat a thing often enough," says Goethe, "and everybody will end by believing it."—L. 11- McCabe in Chicago Herald.

One of the most noted methods of "tripping the light fantastic" among the Scotch is the sword dance, which was originated by the Scandinavians and old gaxons, and at one time was indulged in by the Spaniards.
