From the New York Sun.
In the course OF paper on the evolution OF man,
which Major j. W. Powell read the other day at
the annual meeting OF the Anthropological So
ciety, he gave modern advertising as an illustra-
ton OF the "antagonistic competition" which
"results In human retrogression."
According to him, the only "honest system of
advertising" Is ga small announcement OF the offer
or goods for the Information OF those who desire
purchase, made in such a manner that by seek
Ing they can find II. Because, therefore adyer-
tisers insist on making their announcements so
conspicuously that people shall see them whether
they search for them or not, this anthropOloglsJ
cries out that 1.-THE whole civilized world is piac-
arded with lies, and the moral atmosphere OF the
world reexS with the foul breath Of this monster
OF al tagoniStic competition"
But II an advertiser is disposed to lie about his
goods, can he not lie whether his announcement is
little or big-whether IL is hid away In corner OF
an Insignificant paper Oh made Conspicuous with
topographic display" In an important Journal OF
great circulation?
likely TO be done by the petty than by the big
advertiser The merchant who has built up and
maintained a trade which enables him to pay
heavy advertising bills could not have done so II
he had used Misrepresentation as to his goods and
he cannot, In his selfish interests merely afford to
lie about them IN his advertisements II lie deceives
the public by not Offering them goods OF the
quality and at the prices he adve-ttses, he knows
that his business Will come to ruin and the more
surely because he has made his Misrepresentation
so conspicuous.
The large advertiser. more than other traders,
IS therefore under bonds to serve the public
honestly. for he makes himself more prominent
object 10 criticism A petty trader may lie and
cheat, Dut a great merchant, who invites all the
people by his advertisements TO make practical
test OF his methods must deal fairly and honestly
the late Mr.. A. 4. stewart gave the first great
Impulse 10 mercantile advertising In this country.
and he did 1t, and built up his vast business and
MS enormous fortune by conspcuousy advertising
MS goods and then giving exactly the quality and
the prices he advertised. II he had not followed a
rule or business so wise, apart altogether from
merely ethical consideration he would never have
risen above the petty trader as which he began.

Among the inmates OF the Home for Feeble.

ten-year-old girl whose case has thus far baffied
the best authorities on mental diseases. Her

Will Hing open door and catching hold OF the
edge with her hands, and pressing her knees
tightly together, climb to the top ana seat herself
wholly unconcerned, and apparently perfectly
happy. She will swing back and forth with nc
fear OF falling; indeed, she has Lever been known
TO lose her balance.
Her most troublesome trait is her strong aver.
sion TO wearing any clothing. She discards her
shoes and stockings whenever possible, tears on
her garments and causes no END OF care to the
patient attendants, who md her from time e
time almost devoid OF covering. She frequently
climbs with wonderful agility upon wardrobe ls
feet high or again will mount 70 the top shelf and
there coil herself up like cat. She has beer
known TO ascend an 1S-foot pillar supporting The
ceiling and roost upon its ledge. One night she
LETT her bed and deliberately climbed down the
spouting from the fourth story to the street. She
has never injured herself. Her parents are both
strong, mentally and physically.

Alexander and Victoria.

THE YOUNG PAIR WHOSE HYMENIAL AFFAIRS HAVE
CONFUSED EUROPE.
No royal marriage In prospectu has In modern
times created so great an excitement that which
the German papers imagine Is proposed by the
emperor and empress Of Germany between Alexan.
der OF Battenberg and the princess Victoria,
eldest daughter Of Emperor Frederick and grand
daughter OF Queen Victoria. The opposition which
the mere rumor OF the betrothal has caused is
tainiy not due TO the uDfltneSS OF the contracting
parties. Prince Alexander before he was thirty
was elected TO the Bulgarian throne and his Selec-
ton unanimously sanctioned by the powers which
signed the treaty OF Berlin. When he assembled
the throne he found Bulgaria dominated by the
agents OF Russia. The politicians were in the pay
from the Russian army. The people had absolutely
no say IN their AFFAIRS. With prudence fnteili-
gence and charming presence, he won the hearts
OF the Bulgarians, gradually dismissed the Rus
slams and instilled feeling OF sef-cOnf1dence In
the people which led them TO take part in their
affairs and reject Russian profiers OF interference
The car then stirred up servta 70 declare var
and invade Bulgaria. Alexander placed himself
at the head OF his soldiers, numbering about one
third the force OF Servia and In a short, but de-
cisive. campaign whipped the enemy at every
point, drove them back into their own country
and but for the interference OF the powers, could
have conquered the Kingdom and annexed IL to
his own. Roumel1a then revolted FROM he Turks
and sought the protection Of Bulgaria, which
Alexander promptly extended. The car. en-
ragged by the audaeity and success OF the Young
prince, secretly instigated plot In his own house.
hold by which Alexander, at the dead OF night,

forced Russia 10 surrender Alexander, and he re-
turned 10 his throne, but, finding the powers were
AFRAID 10 court the wrath OF the car by giving
him even their moral support, he abdicated.
Princess Victoria is the Oldest daughter OF Fred
eIick OF Germany and the empress who Is the
oldest daughter OF Queen Victoria she is described
as beaut lful and fascinating maiden, highly edu-

and that the old chancellor's health Is growing
