I '.\'ithm1t 5114;: HERE are two reasons for the necessity of persistence in advertising.~One of them is the ease with which the human mind forgets, and the other is the necessity of teaching the good points of your products a little at a time. It is a general experience, not only in advertising, but in all the different phases of business, that the concern which does not constantly remind its customers of its existence soon has no existence of which to remind them. Now, Mr. Merchant, if you would have the readers of this paper as customers, you must not only let them know you are in business, but keep persistently the merits of your store and goods before them, letting them know of the air rival of every novelty, as well as the more Staple lines. l sides keeping them posted as to prices.

Snoaliin-,3 of th_ harbor of Hong Kong, which is, of coursv, famous throughout the East, :1 well-known traveler has described it as mi: of the few harbors in thri world whirl: may be called pz-rfect." However this may be, it presents a seems of great animation on almost any day in the year. Whole fleets of junlis and fish- ing boats ar constan`..l_v coming in or going out. and merchant vessels come to Hong Kong from all parts of the world. The harbor. indeed, is one of the most notable 1'euture.=i of the city, which, for more than milvs. runs along its southern rim, four ' or climbs quaintly into the hills hc- , yond. The oicial name of the city is, of course, Victoria; but most pm)- ple allude to the island or the city indifferently as I-loin; Kuniz. It is :1 place of bezrutiful lmildings, and many trees, and the way it has of mounting the hil1siil0_ t0l`l`:l.(`0 by ter- race. at lirst closely comp:u-.t, but, ultimately, spreading out as; it reaches higher sxmumi, with country houses and hungalnw:i, givvs it a. peculiarly striking appmrzuicu, as viewed from the sea.

The main cmmnerciui street runs inland, parallel to the Praya, and be- yond this, on either side, lies the Chinese quarter, with at population I of almost incredible (tensity. The second stratum of the town lies ten` minutes climb up the side of the island." and this is the beautiful part. Government House and other well~kuown public buildings are here, and everywhere are to be seen well-laid-out gardens, both public and private; whilst many of the roads are bordered with bamboos and other delicately tronded trees, and are fringed with the luxuriant growth of semitropical vegetation. Finally, there is the third layer, known as the Peak," and it is here that the hillsides, as already noted, are dotted with summer houses. with the governor's sum- mer residence occupying the highest point.

As for history, Hong Kong has very little, 'for, compared with im- memorlal China, of which it was, of {course. once a part, it is very much {a place of' yesterday. It was in i 1841 that it first came into the hands >0! the British. The war of 1840 had been brought to a hasty end, by [the authorities at Pekin, when Sir [ Hugh Gough, having occupied Amoy. ; Ming-Po, Shanghai, and other places of`importa.nce, threatened Nankin. I Dreading to lose the Southern cupi- ltal," the Chinese Government pro- jposed terms of peace, and. about :1 5 year later, a treaty was signed by Sir 5Henry Pottinger. at Nankin, one of ithe provisions of which was that Hong Kong, which the British had occupied two years before, should be ceded to the United Kingdom.

They have, however, been years of enterprise and steady growth. Of late, the city has been specially engaged in spreading itself over the mainland at the other side of the narrow channel known as the {Ly-e-Mun, or Carpsh Pass. At llirst only four square miles on the mainland were leased from the Chin- ese, but this was ceded in perpetuity, by the Pekin Convention of 1860. and, in 1898, the British Govern- ment, feeling the need of more land to allow of development and ade- quate defense, secured from China, on a lease of nin-ety-nine years, the -territory behind the Kowloon Penin- sula, consisting, in all, of some 376 square miles. Hong Kong is to-day, of course, the great distributing port of the world for Southern China, as Shanghai is for the North, and, as IC'nina develops, the city surely has before it" prosperity. unlimited prospects of I S.

The attachment is simply a holder which enables a number of stored ` magazines to be fed into the revolver as fast as they are needed. Such an automatic" as the Colt .45 is push- ed into the saddle on the upper end of the holder. When the eight shots have been red the usual ejecting spring is pressed; the empty maga- zine drops from the gun down into the slot in the holder, and is ejected. Instantly, one of the full magazines held in readiness in th-e bottom of the holder is pushed up into Dlace. When this magazine is exhausted, two others can he fed into the hollow `end of the revolver.--Popular Science Monthly. One of the attaches to the Ameri- can_embassy in London tells of a breezy young American girl who was presented to David Lloyd George when the statesman was chancellor of the exchequer. The girl from the west looked at Lloyd George curious- ly for a moment, says Harper's, and then, just to start the conversation in the right direction, asked: Don't you find it awfully trying to have to chancel when you don't feel like it?"
