For one tiling, it will be likely to absorb the large anil lengthy adver tisements and thus leave more room in the weekly for " We l'n." Advertisements are in a degree the financial basis of most newspapers and periodicals; but a pains taking correspondent naturally feels a little " riled" when a batch of ileum which it has taken some "cheek" and time to prepare does not appear till long after date.
