4 Boom in WhiteNvash.

A missionary stationed ut one of the
South Sea Islands determined to give
his residence Il coat of whitewash. To
obtain this, in the absence of lime,
coral was reduced to powder by burn
ing. The natives watched the process
of burning with interest, believing that
the coral was being cooked for them to
eat. Next morning they behold the
miSsionary's cottage glittering in the
rising sun white as snow. They danced
they sang they screamed with joy
The whole island was in confusion.
Whitewash became the rage. Happy
was the coquette who could enhance
her charms by Il daub of the white
brush. Contentious arose. One party
urged their superior rank; another OBJ
tained possession of the brush, and val
iantly held it against all corners; a
third tried to upset the tub to obtain
some of the cosmetic. To quiet the
hubbub more whitcwash was made.
and in week not q hut, domestic
utensil, a war club or garment but

liant but had his skin painted with gro

Social customs in Japan differ widely
from those which prevail among us
Over there, for instance. IL wedding
must be rather Of a melancholy affair.
1t is not good form for the bride to adj.
nit that she is glad to get married.
When she is told OF the prospect she
is expected to howl loudly and long.
Also she must keep it up by day and
by night until the ceremony takes
place After she has been richly
dressed for the event she must renew
her shrieks and hang back until one of
the attendants throws Il Veil over her

Needed Reforms fastened by This
Newspaper Weapon, Judiciously
| Selected.
1t is said of Il politician who flour
ishcd in New York Il quarter of Il CEN
tury ago that he cared very little what
people said or papers printed about
, him, but that he was exceedingly sens
| tive TO Il caricatllrc and the ridicule
expressed in the illustrated papers of
his day. Comparatively few people
seem to realize what a wonderfully
effective weapon, iudciously managed,
caricaturc is. According to the New
York Ledger, it is almost safe to assert
that any needed reform may be
brought about more quickly by means
of properly handled caricaturc than in
any other way. But to be the most Of
fcctivc it must not be too bread. 1t
should be suggestive rather than ag-
gressivc, and must stop short of any
thing approaching the license that
would disgust the observer. The
strength Of caricaturc lies in its truth
fulness and in the clear way in which
it is presented to the eye. Caricature
for partisan Or personal ends is rarely
as successful as when it is enlisted in
the cause Of some much-ncedcd reform,
for it appeals to only Il limited num-
Der of persons. When it strikes at
abuse, something that needs general re-
form, everybody understands it and
everybody appreciates it. Then let 1t
be truthful, Clear and to the point, and
it is an almost irresistible force.
Good caricatllrists are few, and the
best of them have for the most part
been guilty Of the most offensive par
tisanship. They have lost sight, not
alone of truthfulness, but Of common
dccencv in their delineations. The
Young artist who desires to take UP this
form of illustrating will do well never
for one moment to lose sight of the
fact that the higher the moral tone of
his work the more acceptable it will be
and the more effective. The arrows Of
low caricaturc fall almost poWerless,
while the truth brought out in such
way is as keen as Il two-cdged sword.
If more of this sort Of journalism were
available and its judicious handling
were better understood very many
abuses that now aff1ict the human fam
lily might be put an end to. That such
service, well performed, is appreciated
is evident in an English caricaturist
who has recently been knightcd as a
recognition of his talents. and of him
it may be said that the strength Of his
work was its truthfulness; that he was
never unreasonably partial to Il friend
or uni.lstly severe Il an enemy. He
caricaturcd situations rather than peo-
Die. bringing in the public characters
of the day more as figures i'll a grouping
than as objects for his keenest satire.
1t would be well for younger and less
experienced artists to learn lesson
from such careers. 1t would, indeed,
he well always to remember that the
successful wars are wagcd not against
persons. but against conditions. An in
lvidual has his supporters, be he ever
so dshOnOrable or unjust. A public
abuse, while it may benefit 4 few,
does SO in way that makes it difficult
for even its most enthusiastic support
ers long to sustain it when opposed by
honest, keen satire and truthful and
rrpnclant arguments.
