Notices. N A B U S K. It is extremely common now-a-days to fii d many what arc really advertisements pure ninl simple served up to the public in the guise of attractively-written articles, usually beaded in some very tak : ing maimei. ' This lias been brought about bj the fact that the old-fashioned style of ndvertiserrtent writing will not. do much good to any but the newspaoei or magazine proprietors, How often hava we all been drawn into careful perusal of some glowing account of hair-breath escape, interesting political essay, or something else calculated to arrest attention, to find at the end, alas ! that the article is nothing- but what is vnlirarly termed a patent medicine ' fake.' Readers are gradually becomiuif more and more wary, and, woman-like, instinctively, glance at the conclusion of suspicious looking articles before reading ; but even then they are sometimes ci/rni/eil into thcif pci'it-iuU To assure - oneself of the extent to which this system of adverrising is now carried on, let the render take up almost 11113' newspaper and mark the paragraphs which are really news in the proper pense of the term, and those which are in reality nothing but mere puffs. The reader will in the majority of instances find that nearly always there are about an equal number of each. If not exactly bo, the advertisement division has it. But there is one form in which advertising in paragraph form is both interesting and certainly legitimate-that is, in such cuses as where the goods advertised are introduced fairly in, say, an account descriptive of methods of manufacture, means by which adulterations or shams in manufacture and the like can be detected ; above all, particular care being taken to avoid any unpleasant or unjust remarks regarding the goods produced by opposition manufacturers It is in such praiseworthy manner that Shari,and's Bakimij Powder is kept before readers of this journal, and will be so until every 1 one in the colony has tried a tiu of the ' Moa ' brand, a trade mark which most happily if phonetically pronounces what will be the result if tried. More will be required most assuredly, and the readers of the advice regarding that important compound baking powder lyhich is now found in every household where food, cakes and pastry are desired, will find themselves well possessed of some useful knowledge of what they are in the babit of using. Why with the 'Moa ' brand even the traditionary newly wedded wife who is supposed in pvery instance to bring forward the traditionary cake of constitution most indigestible ; yes, even she will produce a most delightful cake which will make her husband thence forward a decided unbeliever of the traditionary jokes regarding newly-weeded folk and even of the traditionary mother in-law.
