HUMoRs OF ENGLISH ADVERTISING.
Quaint expressions and obscure wording
appear occasionally in the advertising col
umns of American newspapers, but for
unconscious drolleries commend us to a
solid and respectable English daily.
For instance, the following from the
Evening Mail of Portsmouth suggests that
the English, like the Germans, apply the
distinction of gender to every animate and
inanimate thing:
"To Let: Respectable Lodgings, either
male or female. No children. Inquire at
-" Evidently these eminently respect
able lodgings are in state of single bless
edness since there are no little lodgingsto to
disturb tho peace of the inmates.
Here is another, verbatim from the
Christian World: "a Superior Young
Person required as general servant, who
can cook well, in a very small gentleman's
house. No stairs" The very small gen
tleman, as will be seen, intends to let this
superior young person Gin on the ground
floor" but there are no prospects of q
''rise" in house without stairs, and su-
perior person would hardly accept the sit
uation.
An ambitious youth with musical tastes
advertises thus in the Birmingham Daily
Argus: "Young Man desires to Learn
Piano in return for window-cleaning. Ap-
ply at -"
No doubt there are few people in the
United States who would be delighted to
become heirs of the heirless, but it takes
British assurance to advertise for such a
position. This Is found in "The Stand
ard"
"Any Lady or Gentleman, not having
relations to whom they could Leave their
Property, and seeking worthy object
Probably the bakers of Manchester will
see nothing strange in the wording of tbs
next specimen from the Courier of that
town:
''To Biscuit Makers. Wanted a good
hand, accustomed to drop goods" Bu
it would seem that a hand habituated tx
bringing about suoh catastrophes woult
be no more desirable in bakery than in
composing room or a crockery store.
The Bolton Evening News contains thi
enigma: "On Sale, 2 Horses, suitable TO
coal bagging. Apply to -"
The Lancashire Evening News has curl
ous ideas concerning the reduction o
wages, unless the following can be account
ed for as compositor's error in the figures
''Reduction of Masons' Wages at Colne
The masons in the employ Of Messrs. Haw
J ley, builders and contractors, have receive
, intimation that their wages will be reduces
from eight pence to eight and one-hal
pence per hour"
Lastly paragraph from the Birmingham
Daily Post is offered. This Ii from
solemn editorial warning people sgaina

mERWIN AND KELLOGG.


Only three more days and then the
voting will be done. We once more call
the attention of the voters in this region
to the duty and desirability of giving Cen
eral Merwin and General Kellogg a big
vote. General Merwin has been kept out
of the Office that belonged to him. He has
had an experience which no other candidate
for governor in the history of the State has
had. 1t has not been pleasant expert
ence. 1t has been an experience disap-
pointing to an honorable ambition and
against sense of justice. But General
Merwin has conducted himself through it
all like the man of character and the good
citizen that he is. Not even an injudicious
two years of injustice and wrong
he is before the people to have
the injustice rebuked and the wrong right
ed. He was called to be again a candidate
by the unanimous voice of the convention,
which felt that he should have what be-
longed to him. All over the State this
feeling is strong and he is going to have
great vote. His neighbors and friends in
this region, without regard to party, should
be eager to show by their votes the hearty
disapproval they feel of the wrong that
has been done him.
why party considerations should not be al
lowed to bring about the defeat of General
Kellogg. The Second congressional dis
trict, more, perhaps, than any other dis
trict in the State, is interested in being
represented in congress by protect
ionist. Free trade isn't appreciated
in this district. There are too many busy
factories here, whose managers and work
men are feeling the benefits of the No
Kinley tariff. Who can remember time
when there were so many factories and
when they were 80 busya Who can re-
| member time when there was more
work to do at good wsges9 Why should
the workmen of this district vote to send
free trader to congress, just because he
| has the Democratic label on hime There
| are times when business comes before
politics, and this is one of the times.
Every man who is at work in an industry
helped by the protective policy has the
best of reasons for doing what he can to
secure the continuance of that
policy. Mr.. Pigott may be a good
Democrat, though some of his op
ponents say he isn't, but he is Ger
tainly not the right man to represent thi'
district. General Kellogg was nominated
because he was the most efficient congress
man the district ever had; because he is I
thorough believer in protection; becaus'
he has had much to do with the applica
ton of protection to industries in this dis
triot, and because it was felt that the dis
trict would be thoroughly we'll represented
in every way by him.
Vote for Merwin and Kellogg without re
gard to party. For Merwin to right
wrong, and for Kellogg to uphold polio
which has been great and growing bene
fit to those who have to work for a living

NO MED OF A CHANGE.

When general prosperity prevails, when
business is on solid basis and flourish
ing, when industrial enterprises are en-
panding. when the finances of the nation
kre in sound condition, when both pro-
duction and wages are increasing, why
should the American people desire to
change these oertainties for theoriesa In
such times as the country is now enjoying
the people are not crying out for change.
The voices are those of seekers after Office
and the spoils of party. These are preach
ing the attractions of free trade and the
benefits of an expanded State bank cur
rency. England and Germany join with
these, because the purchases which the
United States formerly made abroad are
now largely made at home, and, further,
because the wages once paid to foreign
workmen are now disbursed here.
Day after day Democratic speakers and
writer's are virtually asking the American
laborer to 80 vote that in near future hif
wages shall slide down the scale to the
pinohed pay of labor abroad.
Those who now have no concern abou,
the soundness of the money they receiv.
are asked to vote for the return of Stat,
bank currency, which will again make i

Mrs Humphrey Ward likes Scotch mists, storms, long days of drizzling rain. From the opening chapter of Robert Els mere till the middle of the book, she does not let the sun shine upon her people, just or unjust. MT Towels gloats over a snow storm, in which he does not hesi- tate to send a hero like Northwick or a nice girl like Marcit Hubbard. MT James likes grey days and even the only woman he ever cared about, Isabel, in the portrait of lady, has to be content with an artists sky of dull hues most of her life. Mrs Rives-Chanler is so fond of rain she even makes Barbara and her Jack, if we have not got the objects of her affection, quick or dead, mixed as to cognomen, do their love making in a hard shower. Mrs Slosson likes the chill of New England June. Miss King tri umphs in languid perfumes, airs and bril- liant southern skies rCourant.

 The offices of Le Petit Journal are on Rue de la Fayette. They occupy IA buildings and take up about half square. The editorial, repertorial and other departments are above and the great machines below. These consist in part of II gigantic rotary Marineni presses. These machines, in fact the entire offices, are owned by Cassigneul. Hyppolite Marinoni, the inventor, is father-in-law of MT Cassigneul. He was the sixth son of a policeman in little town in Italy and, at one time, was simply a compositor at the case. Now his wealth is said to be between 7O,0OO,- GOO or o0,000,000 francs, or something like $14,000,O00.
