PRINTING is the ambassador of trade. It is sent out to acquaint your customers with your business. It goes where you cannot be; it tells the story you would have told had you been able to go in its stead; it is the means by which you hope to attract attention to your house: to interest the public and secure patronage, if at all possible. In order to achieve these results and secure adequeat returns for the money invested, it is vitally essential ithat your printed literature have qualities. Ordinary, printing is forgetable prining. Distinctive printing impresses, itself upon the mind and brings results. dhe Courier Prinlery, IBylBENjED Doane, Jasper. Indiana.

Pr&enco of Mind In the Face of a Terrible- Danger. One of the strnncrcst inritlontü of

10 sepoy rebellion is told by Wil- , Ham l'orbos Mitchell in his "Itemjinisconces of tho Great Mutiny." Mr. Mitchell, who was sergeant of a highland regiment, had tho misfortuuo during a battle to loao tho greatcoat which every soldier carried folded in what was known as a "Crimeun roll" and strapped to the shoulders in euch a manner that it crossed the breast :

Many a man owed his lifo to the fact that bullets became spent in passing through these rolls. It happened that in the heat of the fight my roll was cut right through whero 'the two ends wero fastened togeth

er by the stroke of a keen edged I tulwar, which wa3 intended to cut tne. I As the day was warm, I was rather glad to get rid of it, but by 10 'o'clock at night there was a diiTerjence in temperature, and when I
