THEY'RE ENGLISH, YOU KNOW
QUEER ADVERTISEMENTS OUT OF TIE
LONDON PAPERS.

Reading the advertisements In the London
daily papers Is like putting ones ear to q tele-
phone that carries Off the sound OF tho city's
life. The nows columns OF those and all other
papers picture the extraordinary and the irreg-
ular happenings, but IN the little blocks Of
fno type Of tho want aud for sale and per-
sonal and othor columns there IL news OF the
everyday course OF events. These are. in the
main. humdrum and commonplace to London
readers, but when read hero in New York they
are often very strange and interesting. The
first thing that strikes the mind is that tho
English OF England is very different from that
English which is sometimes called Unitod
States. Everyday objects. as common to us
as to them, are called by names totally unlike
those wo give to them. Tho next point OF dif-
ference grows out OF tho size OF London. There
is moro advertising there than here-that Is,
there Is n wider range OF advertising. With
fve millions OF souls to sell to or buy from.
there is room for business adventures that we
In New York could not support.
The advertising columns are filled with little
cards. mainly less than an inch In width. Even
the English soap men, who take whole pages
OF our papers. arc there confined by cost or
custom. or both together. to little notices be-
tween tho rules OF u single column. But read
with us the advertisements OF two or three
patches OF papers published in January in the
