BAGDAD'S CHARM IS TINSEL JMuch-Advertised Dancing by Nautch Girls Is Outdone in Half of America's Cities. 9 ; ? At nightfall the narrow streets of Bagdad are noisy with the dull Irattle of tomtoms and the shrill notes of the Aral) tlute. Painted women in earrings, anklets and baggy .trousers sing1 and dance 011 the tiat 'roofs; but the earrings and anklets 'are imported from Austria, the woman herself came from Port Said, and tier dance is better staged in half the [cities of America by women who have never seen the East?the homo {of "la danse du ventre." Her "act" would not be well received in any other place than Bagdad. Along the Tigris are many coffee shops, where brokers sit at night smoking bubbling "narghiles" and talking trade. Even their red fezzes Jcame from Germany. Oil in their lamps came from the Yankee octo,pus?in British bottoms, of course. 'Only their red, turnod-up shoes, their bright keffeyas and their long, flowing abbas were made in Bagdad. .Squads of Armenian and Chaldean youths stroll by, with here and there 'a bevy of girls, all clad in semiEuropean clothes, significant of a changing East.?National Geographic Magazine. GOOD NAME "Rastus, why do you call your mule 'Croquet Ball'." " 'Cause I has to hit him so hard to drive him any distance." ODD DEATH OF AN IBEX. A short time ago a male Cretan iibex in the London zoological gardens killed itself in a remarkable manner. When sparring with a markhoor in the next inclosure he entangled the tips of his horns in jthe bars and wire netting of the fence. Whether or not he thought his opponent was the cause of the restraint put upon his actions, and that a desperate effort was necesjsary to free himself, cannot be known; but with one powerful .wrench he pulled the top of his skull iOUt,? tearing away the skin of the scalp and exposing the lacerated ;brain. He dropped to all intents and purposes dead on the ?pot, just .as if a rifle shot had cracked' through hie skull. The probability is that he sprang off the ground, and, missing his footing: as he came down, threw ^? jail his weight with a jerk on to the top of his skull. f _________ IMPOSSIBLE.

E60-B ABANDON THE MAGAZINES Corset Manufacturers Turn to Newspapers as Mediums for Reaching Public. The advertising manager of one of the largest corset houses in the country expressed the opinion recently that, as advertising mediums, the general magazines have "struck twelve." To a ceriatn extent hie opinion is borne out by facts. With the exception of one magazine published in New York city and circulating throughout the better class, the worntn's magazines of America have suffered somewhat of a setback during the past few seasons. Many big important accounts which five years ago consumed an enormous amount of space are rarely found now in the general magazines. The corset manufacturers themselves are eschewing the general publication. The newspapers seem to be preferred. Localized advertising, backed up by the co-operation of the dealer, has been found on the whole to produce the most satisfactory results. This fall, for instance, the most important of the corset advertisements appeared almost wholly in the newspapers. From one end of the country to the other the same general announcement of one of the largest houses appeared in all the local papers, the advertisement emphasizing the importance of commencing to buy on a certain date. The intimate relation which this character of advertising bears to the local trade can easily be appreciated, and the results are always more readily traceable. It was stated * some time ago by the advertising manager of one of the large eastern department stores that magazine advertising did not direct business into the retail stores to any appreciable degree, quoting, by way of example, several specific instances of magazine advertising campaigns which under careful analysis failed absolutely to justify the retailer to stocking them to the exclusion of nonadvertised brands. It has been said that, like matters of religion, advertising must be taken on a basis of faith. Where, however, myyrvyi lauuuo iuu lutu iwv, vuiw ouu five hundred thousand dollars, those who supply the money for these enormous campaigns are naturally anxious to reduce the element of faith to the minimum. They therefore use the newspapers, which apparently are far more direct in their action. Whooping Cough. "When my daughter had whooping cough she coughed so hard at one time that she had hemorrhage of the lungs. I was terribly alarmed about her condition. Seeing Chamberlain's Cough Remedy so highly recommended, I got a bottle and it relieved the cough at once. Before she had finished two bottles of this remedy she was entirely well," writes Mrs S FGrimes, Crooksville, Ohio. Obtainable everywhere.
