Few merchants realize this vital point in their businesses. Some advertise in the local press because their neighbors do,' others because they believe that; the town, needs a paper and as live members of the community, :.t is up to them to support it. Both of these reasons for advertising, while creditable from "the standpoint of public spirit, are erroneous. The .reason why the majority of advertisers do notmake a success of their advertising it> the fact that th'ey do not realize that the newspaper" is actually a salesman. When a customer comes, in to your store, do you remark that you sell hardware or that you sell shoes. If you took this line of salesmanship you would in all probability be obliged to state that" in [place of selling shoes, you kept them. No, when 'your customer comes in you tell her that you have the* particular article she is looking for, you name the price and you tell her in a few, words the leading qualities of the article she demands. A good salesman goes a little further, and when his customer has made the purchas es 'which brought her to the store, he suggests some particular article of his stock which he believes would be acceptable. This is salesman - ship. Anybody can sell a pound of sugar to a child who has .been sent to the store to purchase just that quantity, but to sell .your cus- an entirely different matter.

The future will of course take care of itself. Ever since the editor came to the province some twenty years ago, 1 the Fall Fair at New Westminster -has been the one attraction of tnc year and has always, been a go >d, advertisement to the province, and the people who make it their ous- iness ito show there. 'So far ;is memory serves the Fair has always been a success,-unless it rained- ������ and sometimes it has rained, uot what you would notice���������and it takes very little rain to be noticed by the people whq come from tne up-country districts, where it ' -' dom rains, and then it snows. But notwithstanding this set back ih. New Westminster Fair 'has alwayo been an eye-opener cq the visiiois from the outside of the province who attend. Of course every person can nut win prizes, and sometimes those who do exhibit.just come out even, but then there is the glory of haying people from all parts of the province look at, praise and ad- mire what Mr. So-a,n.d-So believes to be worth showing1 and, attempt ing to compete for; a prize.' Tin* man who exhibits fulfills one of ihe- great duties as a citizen^ of his- country���������foe is a booster. So great has been the attraction of the Fall Fair that the up-to-dato and progressive city of Vancouvet is spending thousands of dollais to have one just as good as New. Westminster. They may some day succeed, but the glory of having the first and best for many years will always remain with the' Royal City. There are several farmers near Abbotsford who have always done their bes: for the Fair at New Wet>t minster and have signified thoir intention, of doing the same again this year. But there should r������ more than ever as'it- will help to boost the district. same time insinuates itself into the good graces of. strangers by the picnic method. The picnic is the modern 'survival of the old fashioned camp meeting, with the difference that it lasts but- a day. In other, respects the genius of the institutions is the same, for In both people are incited to combine pleas ure with the contemplation of more serious affairs. Tomorrow the Con servative organizations of Victoria and the adjacent: country will hold their annual outing, and everybody, .his wife arid children, will be there. Tt is a,, laudable emprise, and should be semi-annual, for it is one of the rare occasions on-which the common people are permitted to gaze upon or mingle with the great ones in the party. In future weeks some fond, mother will tell her little family how "Sir Richard" patted the baby on the check and said soft and soolhful nothings winding all up with the soulful ad- admonLtion to "grow up a good Conservative" and die in the faith. The overworked disposition of the masses is to overrate their political leaders. They look upon them a-s demi-gods. This is wholly a delusion. They are, after all, but clay, in. various and varying stages of plasticity. The idea that they are gods is sedulously fostered by the party press. - it is .a mistake that is advantageously counteracted when the gods come down at picnic times ami' mingle with the people. They even speak on such occasions; sometimes as, lawgivers ,sometimes as prophets, even false prophets," and sometimes they go so far as to represent them selves as Messiahs sent of Heaven to lead the people to ^paradise. What wonder that such condescension and sell-abasement, with liberal redeeming features of self 'ig- grandizement, should win. the ad- adorationi of the multitude! The "peepul" may gaze upon these great and wise men with, unshaded eyes, wondering the while that , their sight is not blinded. It all "helps the cause, and, is worth while ���������.

The peculiar fascination of Crustacea consists largely in the extraordinary variety of bizarre forms which they have auaumed under the pressure (so ,to speak) of their environment ��������� Infinite variations on much the same theme of Joints and legs. Furnished by tiiuture with a beautifully articulated suit of armour (which they are compelled to discard and reproduce from time to time to allow for growth), evolution has had to play some queer pranks with them to equip them for the very varied situations In life In which we find 'them ��������� 'exaggerating or diminishing out of nil licririe of proportion (according to our idea's of congruity) a limb here, a joint or series of joints there; tucking one part of the body under another; flattening into a plate in one case, drawing out into a mere thread In another; and thus and in other ways giving rise to the quaintest series of forms to be met with in the animal kingdom. Then their curiously Intelligent habit.8 are no less fascinating to watch ��������� their habit, for Instance, of carefully testing their environment with thoir feelers; their alternately retiring and pugnacious disposition; their Inimitable gait and comical ways of walking off sideways and of "backing." All these features combine to awaken our curiosity and strike our sense of humour. Added to this lack of dull monotony in the group is the additional advantage to the student that Crustacea, where they occur (and they occur practically everywhere), are comparatively easy to capture and to keep] In activity. -They do not require shooting sor. a laborious hauling of nets, or even digging up to any extent A dipping or a towing net or a simple trap, is. generally all that Is necessary to ensnare them. No wonder, ^therefore, that the Crustacea are a favourite group .with naturalists, both'professional and amateur. <.-, BE/SURE-AND WORfWHE HORSE XL \^TRADrOMARK\J AXLEJ5REASE, HARNESS' OIL,/ WHIPS,- CURRY COMBS, HALTERS, BRUSHES, SWEAT COLLARS, and also -BICKMORE'S GALL CURE.'wKtch we Warrant a satisfactory Core for Galls.

She undresses every.day, after luncheon' and sleeps for -20 ! minutes. She insists that one should put on a nightdress and really go to bed if one is to get the full advantage of the afternoon's sleep, and that it should not exceed 20 minutes. A prolonged sleep In the afternoon makes one heavy and stupid, and keeps one wakeful when night comes, but 20 minutes" sleep willrenew and refresh immensely.-- .'' This, method is only ,-possible to' the woman of leisure, and utterly- beyond the woman of business. But she can strive to get a sufficient amount of sleep at night. Of course Brother Brownt of The Star, including the silver stars, and 'something of a substantial .nature' (whatever that may be^ would steal the Abbotsford Pair this year for the Farmer's Institute if he dared. He hates to acknowledge it but a great man;y people on the prairie state that he is work in,g almost day ami night to get the fair over near Huntingdon. He may be fooled yet, EVENTS AND INCIDENTS We pay tribute to the genius of the political party which annually rallies its following and at <the Boots and Shoes. Shoes are-one of the expenses of a toilet that' may be reduced by care alone. A worn-out shoe cannot be renovated; no amount of 6kill will make it pass as new. The only possible way to save in shoe leather is to care properly for the ahoes while wearing them. When they are taken off they should be wiped at once, and if wet filled with paper and put'in a dry place (nor near the first) for some hours. We do not advise putting Bhoes into a bag, for the sake of meat- ness. If boot-trees are not convenient the boots or shoes should be stood where the air can get to them, aa this will tend to harden the soles.

Reports of the ��������� occurrence of globular, or ball .lightning during recent.'severe thunderstorms in -Europe1 have- again" -drawn attention', to tills rare and singular electrical' manifestation.-Half a" century; ago the reality of this phenomenon-was,much, doubted, but the gradual accumulation of trustworthy evidence has now thoroughly, demonstrated -its actual existence. The records agree in describing the appearance as that of a luminous ball, generally of a bluish coloiir,-and varying "in diameter from a few inches to as much as three feet. The sphere has a sluggish motion, either falling slowly from the clouds or drifting over the surface of the ground, the movement always being, such as to give the Impression that the thunderbolt is of material heavier than .air. It remains visible for several seconds or even minutes, and as a rule ' finally ' explodes '��������� with' great violence. ' The disappearance is generally followed by. a .strong,smell pi ozone In the locality. During the period of visibility the ball often behaves in an extremely peculiar manner. -- Sometimes It seems propelled along' horizontally- by a feeble air current or by electric forces. "Frequently itj- has been seen to follow the course of a conductor, such as a water main,- and It almost always, explodes ori coming Into contact with a sheet of water such as a pond or stream. The immense store of energy which the ball undoubtedly contains Is evidently not held in the shape of a surface electric charge, as it is not destroyed by contact with ordinary, condiictors. Thus the ball may touch earth,- pass down a chimney, traverse a room, and so on, without being dissipated, although it has thus had abundant opportunity of' giving up any surface charge of. electricity. It Is indeed this very tenacity of existence which has in the past caused certain physicists to be rather sceptical of the phenomenon, while so far at least all attempts to produce analogous appearances experimentally havo been entirely unsuccessful. Stinging Trees in the southern part of Formosa grows a tree, about 10ft. in height, having long leaves which possess the property of the nettle, and produce a maddening irritation of the skin when, Incautiously touched. The natives call It chiao-jen-kou, meaning "man-biting-dog." Mr. Tokutaro Ito, of Toklo, who has recently made a botanical exploration In Formosa, suggests the name "viper tree" as a more distinctly warning title. There is: another species of "stinging tree" in Australia, which attains a height of 15 feet, and the effect of whose touch appears to be even more maddening to men and animals. Horses stung by It have to be shot, and dogs, when affected by the poison of the leaves, run about whining and biting themselves' Abbotsford; B. C Abbotsford Hardware Co. ���������ABBOTSFORD, B.C.

This is the conservation of energy. ��������� The best thinkers and the greatest ��������� leaders in the Industrial world are awakening to a realization of the fact that It pays not only to take ��������� care of machinery but also to take care of men. And taking care of a man means giving him the*right chance and the right instruction to ���������produce the maximum of results with the-minimum of effort ��������� to use to the best' advantage what energy he uses, and to conserve his energy in such a way that it will not be taxed unduly.

Experiments in Wireless Telephony Successful experiments have been made lately in wireless telephony, which may have far-reaching developments in aviation, particularly In war service. Conversation was freely earned on with an aviator while he was flying 750 feet in the air at a speed estimated to be 56 miles an hour The aviator was B. C. Huck, of Leeds, who was using a Blackburn monoplane. He wore on his head an ordinary telephone receiving helmet, and on his chest the ordinary mouthpiece.

This was the first time wireless telephony', has been tried on an aeroplane. Iluck's voice was clear and distinct. Method of Finding nn Aeronaut's Position. When terrestrial objects are invisible, an aeronaut is compelled to employ Indirect methods of finding his position. Several such methods have been invented during' recent years.

Apparently not satisfied with this device, - he further perrected it in a ipatentjof somewhat "later date, whereto he describes a steel-sheathed cable for supporting the anchor, the cable ���������being -provided .with a device, for lesseniiiig the effect of sudden shocks, Ibis,, latter- feature being:.of_3rery eony Persfstenee of Imtfnct.

She is-certainly the jnost successful woman in business and society, and where is the person who will deny that she is the best wife, mother, and"' friend ? Experience teaches one that the average woman with a naturally irritable temper often encourages it. fosters it. But perhaps they wouldn't if they knew that anger curdles the blood, hinders circulation, and, consequently, makes the complexion bad and dulls the eyes. It also weakens a woman's wits, making her loss attractive physically affd mentally. Bad temper does not destroy the mind, .but it renders one unable to work mentally. H. E. H.

Local buyers were ont in numbers Friday morning") at the Westminster market Friday last, and prices remained steady throughout the morning. The rain evidently had its effect however, for a number of farmers who-' are .usually seen with their wares, were noi to be found this morning.

Pickling /tomatoes /m,ade their first appearance this morning and were offered at 75e per crate, ot about twenty pounds. There; was a good showing oi cabbag-e, offered at one and a half to two cents a pound, wholesale, and at ten and fifteen cents cents a head retail, or about 3c a pound. Cauliflower was offered at five cents -a head wholesale and at three and; lour for twenty-, five cents, according to the sua. retail. potatoes remained the same as' iast week at from $17 to $20 per ton. A:few tons of Langiey po- tatoed sold at $i a sack, out the supply exceeded the demand und the sale was quiet. Several sacks of beets sold at $1.25, and carrols were down to $1 per sack. The poultry section was busy and many sales were made. The prices were similar to last week, but contrary to last Friday, kept up f throughout the morning. A number of ducks were sold at fifteen, cents a pound, or about $8 per dozen, and a large number ^o'f broilers went for $3 a dozsn. Young pigjs were in demand this morning but the supply was equal to the occasion. A number of small pigs sold for, $4.50 a head, while others u little larger brought as high as $6 a head. ' Small fruits, including white and red currahts hjave'disappeareebfrom the market but the scarcity ,,of raspberries and blackberries was probably due to the rain. There were no ripe tomatoes on the market. A" quantity of squash, were offered'for five cents each, and the caves bought up most of these. Eggs remained the same, at forty five cents per dozen retail Aand forty cents wholesale, while forty cents was obtained foi\ butter from retail buyers. Business at the auction market was only fair.

Regularity AlSvays Pays Regularity of hours is an important thing to aim_ at in working draft horses, for it pays. This applies not only to hours of work but to times of feeding. Horses brought in and fed at six one night, at. half past five the next, and at seven the next, and so on, are certain to suffer from the irregularity sooner or later, if it is continued. . The horses should be looked on not only as your servant l(and it is a good one) but as-your friend, and careful s'tudy of his wants and even his likes and dislikes is bound to be of benefit both to him and to you.
