The Trick Proved Futile.

Tull JOuTlitll
 A teachers standing frequently depends more on his ability to deal with human na- ture than with the intricate problems of the text books, and this applies to colleges as well as to primary schools. A we'll known professor of one of our Maine col leges has always been dreaded more by the incoming freshman class than any other man on the faculty. This feeling wears away somewhat during the last part of the course, but there is always an awe-inspired atmosphere as thick as e down East fog bank in this class room, be it filled with quaking freshmen or self-satisfied seniors Jokes have, however, frequently been tried on him, since college boys are very brave when they think their tracks are well GOV cred, but the jokes have usually been found tohave a double back-action kick like an old-fint-lock musket.
 With the expectation of getting an lad journn from his recitation the next day, some scamp one night broke into this pro- fessor's class room and painted every seat in the room with fresh paint. When the class assembled the next day, the pro lessor said very blandly: ''You can sit down, gentlemen, or stand up, just as you please. MT. A, VIII you please demon strate-," etc.
 The class stood for the full hour, its mem. bers finding relief by standing first on one | foot and then on another.
 On another occasion, when the mercury had dropped below zero, another attemp; was made to get an "adjourn." The stove and every window was removed from the recitation room, but the professor was found there at the usual hour seated com fortably in his chair, with oyercoat, w.n ter cap and wooden gloves on, and, without apparent discomfort to himself, conducted recitation of an hours length, witl heavens breezes wandering uninterrup- | edly through the room.

His Way Of fAdvertIssnS.


 'sI beg pardon for intruding upon your time," said the polite, smiling man with the small valise in his hand. "A peddler is nuisance. know it as we'll as any body. But there are various kinds of ped dlers, and all of us must live. It isn't our fault that we are here. Those of us that earn our living honestly have to share the odium that belongs to the calling. I'm not complaining of this, gentlemen. It is part of the curse that came in the original package to Adam. If there is any one of you that has spot of grease on his coat, vest or pant-trousers," 1" he added, opening his valise and taking out a small cake of soap and sponge, 'I shall be happy to re- move it, and without changing cent and without asking anybody to buy my soap. It's my way of advertising. My dear sir, allow me. There is a little spot on youl yest.m
 He rubbed the spot with piece of soap deftly applied the sponge, made few pass es over the cloth with a piece of cotton sheeting, and said;
 ssThere, sir, that spot is gone. You will never see it again. And probably you will never see me again either, as I travel but once through community. My goods will be found at the stores. take it forgrant- ed that nobody wishes to buy cake of my soap I wish you good morning, gen. | tlemen."
 After the polite, smiling visitor had gone away the gentleman whose garment had been operated upon had occasion to consult l his watch.

FRAUD IN TRADE.

There are other things than honest and fair competition to contend with .n our efforts to get the trade of the countries south of us. Consul De Prere at San Sal vador shows that the English and Ger mans are acknowledging the superiority of American goods and at the same time cut ting into the trade which would come to us by counterfeiting American trade marks and putting American labels on their own inferior goods. Best American drilling" made in Manchester, England, is freely sold, and Consul De Prere says that American sheetings, muslins and cali coes are driven out of Central American markets by goods bearing the brands and trade marks of the best Ameri- can mills. These German goods are made of East India and Egyptian cheap short staple cotton and are utterly worth less." The German manufacturers are also selling Rogers American cutlery in large quantities. Cheap German wine is sold as the product of California vineyards, and bottled beer brewed in Germany bears the labels of St. Louis, Philadelphia and Mil waukee breweries. Perhaps the deadliesi of all these beverages" says MT. De Prere, lis the Kentucky whisky, so labelled, but distilled in Germany" Colts revolvert and Remington rifles, made in Birming ham, England, are freely sold, and cas
 iron Singer sewing machines, purportinl to be American, come from Germany
 This kind of thing can be defeated b.
 putting the genuine goods plainly befor'
 the Central Americans. They will bu.
 them when they see the difference.

not fhe whole, of the remainder of their natural existence.
 It is well known that Sir Edwin Arnold, since his arrival in the dominion of the Japs, has been so pleased with his experi- ence among them that he is loath to return to the rush and crush of London living, the wear and tear of his editorial duties on the London Telegraph, where he once was so fond of writing articles yard long in eulogy of Lord Salisbury or in scholar ly denunciation of MT. Gladstone. He
 finds the luxuriant ease of Japanese iv- ing, the quiet habits of the people and their simple amusements, too delightful to be enjoyed only for few weeks. Conse- quently, instead of deserting the >hospita- ble shades of Tokio after a short sojourn, as he had planned before he had arrived within its pleasant territories, he has con
 tinued to abide there for several months, and it is said that in moments of lethean enjoyment he has been known to forswear thinking of his friends in the English isle and threaten to finger in the perfume laden atmosphere of the east forever. When we consider the effect of life in Ja- pan upon such man as Sir Edwin, says the Boston Traveller, it is natural that we should grieve to hear of the departure of one of our own litterateurs, in taste and feeling somewhat similar to his English
 brother author. and whe is about to re-
 tire from his pastoral retreat in NewEng- land to the more seductive shores of the
 tea-drinkers in the far east. We urge upon Professor A. s. Hardy the necessity of steeling himself against the fatal fasci- nations of the land of the willy Japs. We cannot afford to lose so excellent scholar and so good a writer as he is, and we trust that he will be properly impressed with
 the duty incumbent upon him as a New Englander. of returning ere many months are past to his friends st home, and not to be tempted, as Sir Edwin has already been tempted, to live forever in the soft delights of tea shipping and the manipulation of dainty chopsticks.

A BOOMERANG,


 New Jersey is afflicted with a law which, enacted in the interest of labor, has proved boomerang. The Mechanics Lien law of the State had proved that, if a building contract was filed with the county clerk before the work was begun, the owner of the building was protected against liens on the part of the persons who furnished materials or labor to the contractor. Work men and dealers in materials, knowing of this law, had only to satisfy themselves of of a contractors responsibility in order to secure themselves against loss. But the legislature amended this so as to continue a lien unless the contractor, when a payment is made by the owner of a building, or the person or corporation advancing him money on it, presents receipted bills for all the labor and material that enter into it, and makes affidavit that the receipts cover the whole cost. The effect of this law, which went into effect on September 1, is to stop build ing operations throughout the State to a large extent. A person who supplies his own capital for house may trust to his contractors honesty if he chooses. But institutions like building and loan associa- tions, savings banks and insurance compa- nies, which advance thousands of dollars to erect buildings, making the payments as the work proceeds, cannot take such a risk.
 An effort will he made to have the next legislature repeal this foolish and imprac- ticable law. It should never have been ,oada
