! V no mTnin£ cough, is the ! j \clib faithful sentinel. It tells of I m_f tbe approach of consump flM tion, which has killed more Bffflrlil| people than war and pesti w|h|P§| lence combined. It tells of _______fi_ P ainful chests, sore lungs, -^9Um>| weak throats, bronchitis, MM^and pneumonia. Do not j_W suffer another day. It's use« w less, for there's a prompt and safe cure. A cure for fresh colds and old colds, easy coughs and hard ' coughs — Ayer's Cherry Pectoral It often cures a fresh cold in a single night, and it masters chronic coughs j and bronchitis in a short time. Con } sumption is certainly prevented, and ; cured, too, if taken in time. If anybody tells you that consump tion cannot bo cured, they are certainly mistaken, for we have thousands of these cases reported to us, absolutely cured, and no mistake about it. \ Put up in large and small bottles. Ayer's Cherry Pectoral Plaster placed directly over the tender, aching lung is a great aid to the Cherry Pectoral. Prepare, by Dr. J. C. Ayer Co., Lowell, Mass., U. S.

In the very nick of timr*, Just when ' popular interest in the America Cup contest ia about to reach a culminat- ' ing point, a book has been published which has an intimate connection with that great sporting event. This is* Sir Thomas Lipton and the America Cup,' by Oh_r!eß T Bateroan (Oliphan'-, Anderson <fe Ferrier, one shilling.) The little biography is brightly and vi por ously written, and brought as nearly np to date as possible* It has 'more than a do_an good photographs, in cluding those af Sir Thomas Lipton's father and mother, and stveral of Shamrock 11. It tells succinctly and interestingly thft story ol Sir Thomas' early life, hie business career, hia pub lic work and philanthropies, and, of course, the doings of the two vSham rocke. There ia a useful appendix, giving details of all the previous Uup competitions The story of Thomis Upton's life has been told before, but it ia eventful and striking enough to bear rf petition. After a sojourn in America as a youth, which sharpoDed bim considerably, he retnrnrd to Glasgow, And now it be- j



came a question as to bis future. Th« fact that his parents owned a small provision business practically decided him to enter that trade on bis own account in another part of tbe city. Thus it waa that in 1876, when tw>nty six years old, he rented a modest little place in Stobjross Street, Glasgow, under some tenement buildings



It ia interesting to remark here that this little shop—nob in High Street, Glasgow, as so many biographers have stated—proved the foundation of the business bought twenty two years after by a company for two and a half millions WORKING EARLY AND LATE Surely no man worked harder or more intelligently than did Thomas Lipton in his new sphere i In some manner, almost unexplainable, he managed to discharge the combined duties of salesman, wkdow-dresser, clerk, and when occasion required light porter aa well. An assistant was a luxury not to be thought of, and to him alone fell the duty of keeping the place clean and cheerfully attending to the wants of customers. Many a Friday night he slept under the coun ter, to economise time and to be on the spot at break of day for the heavy ■'< business of the Saturday.

The young shopman has been de scribed at this time aa an energetic, obliging tradesman who always kept his premises smart, and with a pleasant, genial manner encouraged customers to patronise him. He early learned, too, the efficacy of bold and original adver tising. He made a feature of cartoons exhibited in the window, and today these aie remembered by Glasgow men for their striking and suggestive adver tisement.



STRIKING ADVERTISEMENTS Lipton's advertising methods gener ally differed from those of competitors, He deliberately chose novel and origi nal eye*opßoers, which were bound to succeed from their very daring character.- He once arranged for one of bis managers to make a baloon ascent with a well-known aeronaut and throw from the car 10,000 telegraphic messages addressed to Lipton's Cen tral Market, Jamaica Street, Glas gow. Prizpg were offered^ ranging in amounts from twenty gui neas to ten rounde" of tea, to tha firet twenty who arrived with the advertisements. On the day appointed thousands watched the ascent, and anxiously looked for the competition leaflets to drop from the clouds. Those who secured ibem excitedly ran oft to Jamaica Street in the hope of securing a priz°, and much interest resulted as the competitors reached there ia eager haste from all parts of the city. Wo have necessarily somewhat fore- BUlled events. That little business in Slobcross Street prospered {splendidly. lis propriet r nude it p»y sufficiently to enable bim io reinvest bis capital and Open another establishment on similar lines in a better district in High Street, Glasgow Again success attended his. tfforfß, end tg'in he was able to launch out further in other parts of {-Gotland. Then be attacked Ireland with similar results, coming later* on to I'ngland. In fact, 'Vent, vidi, vici' ful'y sums np Sir Thomas Lipton's successful com mercial career, For some years the business was principally confined to provisions, and its success in this direction hits been attributed by the principal to a special cure for hams which be possessed, and which led to an enormous sale. In 1889 ho was induced to go info the tea trade by hearing of the very large profits to be made in it. "My first purchase,' he sap, •• was 20,000 chests, I took care to advertise this fact well. I sent through Glasgow a procession of fifty drayn, with two and four horses in each, accompanied by a brass band and a band of pipers. Everybody in Glas gow was thus brought to know that I had thia article to sell. My tea went like wildfire, aud iti large success has continued ever since." Speaking of the tea-trade develop ment reminds one of an amusing epi sode which it is stated happened in 1895 when Mr Lipton was bound for Oejlon on an East Indian steamer. It is said that while io the Red §c* the boat was disabled, and ib became necessary to throw overboard a part of her cargo. Lipton, who was an in terested spectator of the operations for lightening the ship, suddenly conceived a brilliant idea. He secured a paint brneb, a pot of black pa nr, and a stencil, and then to the astonishment of captain and passengers, cbeerfnliy labelled each box and bale—" Use Upton's Teas,"
