FOREST FIRES IN FRANCE.

Soldiers and Sailors Employed to
 Check the Confiagratton.
 PARIS, Aug. 12.-Great fires are raging in the forests in the vicinity of Toulon, and vast quantity of valuable timber has already been destroyed. A strong wind is blowing and the flames are rapidly spread ing. The authorities have been called up- on to aid the residents in fighting the fire, and thousands of soldiers and sailors are employed in digging trench around the burning section in order to stop the prog ress of the fire. It is thought, however, by those who have seen forest fires in America that the only means of stopping the confagration will be to adopt the Amer ican plan of starting ''back fres," that is, burning tract of the forest sufficiently wide to prevent the flames from crossing it. It is believed that the fires are of in cendiary origin.

 Industries to America.
 BERLIN, Aug. 22.-Berlin used formerly to export great quantities of ladies' cloak cloth, etc., to the United States. When the high tariff was placed upon these goods American buyers came here and simply bought the models. The cloaks are then manufactured under these in Amer ica. Only the cheapest grades are ship ped in large quantities. So great has been the increase that the Confectionaire, the organ of the cloak makers, recently pub ished an article protesting against the at lention paid to American buyers, who in spected everything and buy only the few models. Berlin, on the whole, has accom- panied itself to the new circumstances, though there still continues to be some talk of the transfer of various industries to America

The stranger Holds the Chm

The regatta committee of the New Haven Yacht club has prepared its finding on the contest filed against the judges decision by Charles R. Waterhouse. The report of the committee is adverse to MT. Water houses protest.
 The regatta committee, which is com posed of William A. Foskett, jr., L. A. FL iott and Frank P. Tyler, maintains in its report that the entrance of the yacht Stranger into class was strictly in SCOOP dance with the regulations of the club, since the vessel found no yachts to com pete with in her own class. Moreover, if she entered class for the purpose of com. petition she entered it for all purposes, and has therefore the right of defending the Warner challenge cup, which she won. They, therefore, disallow the claim of ths Wanderer to first prize.
 Mir. Waterhouse, the owner of the vessel has still another opportunity for appeal to the owners of the individual yachts.

 BAR HARBoR, Me-, August 12.-Secre- tary Blaine has been very active to-day. He was present this morning at the tennis tournament at Mossley hall.

Reed, after which he enjoyed drive.
 This has been another busy day in high life here. The day opened with a parade and battalion drill of crews from all the ships. A feature of the display was the ease and rapidity with which the men were landed from the boats.
 Secretary Tracy and Mrs. Wilmerding and daughter went to Ellsworth last night to visit Senator and Mrs. Hale and their guest, Mrs. General Sheridan. After their return this afternoon a reception was given on the Dispatch.

About Printers Ink.

This is the day of printers ink, and
the prizes are for those who use it.
Your traditions and prejudices may be
to the contrary, but the world doesn't
care fig for them. The man who sits
and waits for his trade in these days
gets left. Don't advertise, don't quote
your price lists, don't see that your city
or your business is represented in your
patronizing territory, and don't stand
up manfully alongside of those who are
fighting for your rights and interests,
and there can be but one result-shrivel-
ing up. Good statesmen, first class ar
ticles, gilt edged credit are not enough.
They are excellent, necessary-but not
enough. Printers ink beats them in the
long run. Uncle Sans mails go every
day, carrying their freight of special
offers, new crops, long credits, cash dis
counts, job lots and lovers tales from
everywhere. And in the end your trade
is seduced. It's the world-old story of
the honeyed tongue and the open ear.
In the fierce competition of these days
old habits and associations simply can
not stand the pressure. The trade is for
the man who uses printers ink.-Gro-

An Advertising Speculation.

Among the many incidents character
istic of human nature is one which re-
Gently came under the observation of a
young man connected with prominent
publishing house, one of the Oldest IN
the country, and which has for three
generations been conducted by the de-
scendants of the original founder. With
other publications there was issued a
neat little treatise on household econo-
my, showing how, on a small income, 1t
was possible to live comfortably. The
author was a woman, and gave her book
the title, GLOW She Did It." The book
had a fairly good sale, but presently
there appeared to be sudden and unac-
countable demand for the volume, and
every fortnight the house was puzzled
by orders for more. 1t ran through a
fourth edition before the young superin-
tendent learned the cause. The orders
had invariably come from the same
source, and it was then discovered that
the persistent buyer advertised the book
extensively in sporting and other jour
nails. His method was simplicity itself.
The title given, he would insert, sMailed

Concerning the Weather.

By an unwritten but neverthe-
less rigid law of society the wealth
er as a topic of conversation is
prescribed as too commonplace a
theme to occupy the attention of
intelligent minds or to have a
place in the talk of the cultivated.
But, whereas the weather does,
usually, deserve this ostracism, its
remarkable performances thus far
this winter compel unusual inter
est. This time the weather has got
itself talked about. Throughout
the United Kingdom the cold has
been phenomenal. Nothing similar
has been known in England since
1874 when great fair was held on
the frozen Thames, opposite Lon
don. During this winter, for many
weeks there has been skating on
this great river for miles above
and below Oxford, and brilliant
crowd of collegians and others
have been gliding about in a con-
fushion of mirth and good spirits.
This winter for the first time in
the memory of the inhabitants
snow has fallen in the interior of
Tunis.

A Grand Scene.

We are apt to lose sight of the
grandeur in things familiar in
every day life. Those who pass
their lives close by the sea learn to
regard it in a very prosaic light
and wonder at the rhapsod1es OF
the summer visitor. In much the
same way the city resident comes
to regard the rush and roar of the
fire department on its way to fire.
To the on-looker from the country,
or from a small city where the
same need of energy does not ex-
ist, there must be something mex
pressibly grand in such a scene.
The other day we saw the pro-
cesslon of steamers and trucks
hurrying down Broadway. With
what grand rush the magnificent
horses came on, shaking their
heads as if thoroughly enjoying
their gallop, beating the air with
their hoofs until one was reminded
of that thrilling passage in Ben
Hur, descriptive of the chariot race.
With what steadiness of nerve and
strength of muscle the driver sits
and guides his team. With what
bo1dness of demeanor the men
standing upon the foot boards carry
themselves alert. nervous, watch
ing the passage through the mar
row, crowded street, full of vigor
and strength of action. They are
motionless, save now and then, as
they make a warning signal to
some teamster in danger of coils
ion; and yet they are the personifi-
cation of forceful activity There
is something almost miraculous in
the manner in which the drivers
thread their way, with their horses
at a gallop, through a street ap-
parently choked with horses and
wagons; yet they swing around the
corners and project themselves
upon the tangled mass, never for
an instant slackening their speed.
Like magic a path opens for them
and they glide through SO readily,
so easily, that one can but marvel
that what seemed impossible has
been so soon accomplished. The
intelligence of the horses, too, is
something akin to the marvellous.
The well-trained animals appear
to understand what is required of
them and but a word or the turn
of a rein is needed to guide them
in the right direction.
The life of fireman is filled with
so great danger that it is to be Won
dered that men are found so read
lily who will devote themselves to
it. Doubtless it is the very hazard
and the excitement that attends it
which gives to the life its charm

Development in Advertising.

In no department of the modern news
paper has there been greater and more
marked improvements shown than in
the field of advertising. There is a greater
display of taste and literary style in the
composition, and an evident effort is
made to appeal to the intelligence and
refinement of the reader. This is seen
not only in the advertisements of the
large mercantile establishments, where
trained skill is employed, but as we'll in
the three line advertisement which is
written by the advertiser himself, and
which, in terseness and directness of
style, can lay claim to great literary
merit. The development of advertising
may yet lead to the establishment of
special courses of training in business
colleges. Already nearly $25, ,OO0,0 900 are
spent annually in the United States in
newspaper advertising, every dollar of
which, if used judiciously, has returned
large interest to the investor.

Pine Extract.

BY E. MATHER, NJ. D., d. C. l., PATERSON.
The beneficial effects of the pine tree
forests upon persons of feeble consti-
tuition, or those suffering from the tuber-
euler bacillus, has long been known and
thoroughly established. The effects
produced by the Ozone generating arom-
as of these trees is most decided in either
sterilizing or killing disease germs in the
blood of all those who inhale them.
The results obtained by inhaling the
ozone-generating pine aroma is most
marked in all pulmonary microbial affec-
tions. A distillation of the pine needles
is prepared at 50 East 9th street, New
York, which can be used in bath, for
inhalation, or orally.
This distillation has been thoroughly
tested in large number of affections in
which microbes appear in the blood.
The Pine Extract bath produces most re-
freshing and invigorating results, and
should be used by every family in the
land.
1t is of special utility in all diseases in
cidental to children.

CRITICISM.
Fourth Library Entertainmeht'
New York Philharmonic Club AS
sisted by Mrs. Chas. Tyler button.

The Library Association dis
played excellent judgment in
arranging the several entertain
ments in the order in which they
have occurred. For the one given
last Friday evening was not only
the best, judging from the stand
ing-point of musical criticism; but
it was also the most intensely
pleasing. The programme showed
adroit arrangement in its surpris-
ing and pleasing contrasts,
transporting the sensitive hearers
from mood to mood. The masters
in musical composition were well
represented, one number being
devoted to Wagner, one to Haydn,
while "Papa" Handel also had a
hearing. But there was nothing
inferior on the programme, except
ing perhaps Gillet's "Mill," so
popular with Gilmore's audiences
at Manhattan Beach last summer.
This, however, has the virtue of
originality, and contains some
good touches.
1t would be difficult to over
praise the Philharmonic Club,
whose reputation is national, and
whom the most cultivated audien-
ces delight to hear. Though we
think they are not such an unit as
the Beethoven String Quartet, yet
their concerto playing is so nearly
perfect in technique, so sincere
and eloquent, that only the most
rigid professional criticism would
accuse them of faults. The mem
bers of the Club are all soloists OF
high reputation.
Mrs Dutton is by far the best
soprano who has yet appeared at
these entertainments. She is
personally pleasing, being refined
in appearance, and was tastefully
dressed in black. Personality has
not a little to do with a singers
success, and in her first number
she won the friendship of her
audience. Though she sang this
number in German, she did so with
such intelligence and feeling that
even those who are ignorant of the
tongue of the Fatherland caught
much of the sentiment of her songs
and were moved and interested
Space does not permit detailed com
ment on the various numbers o1
the programme itself; and if it did
we fear Our enthusiastic express
ions might weary you. But
indeed, for 1e most part we would
be unable to describe our pleasure
for the emotions awakened by the
"divine art" are ethereal, subtle
and difficult of analysis, best ex
pressed in the meeting of appreci
ative g1ances, while the music yet
is echoing through the thoughts
AS for technical criticism, we eleave
that to professional pens.-H. K. C

Don't Be Afraid.

Too little advertising is like sowing too
little seed. A farmer in planting corn
puts number of grains into each hill,
and is satisfied if one good healthy stalk
comes from each planting. It's the con-
attention. It's the succession of bright,
catchy advertisements that refuse to be
ignored. That the proper time must be
allowed for the fruit to grow, ripen and
be gathered is as true as that wheat can
not be reaped the day after it is sown.-
