BRASS SIGNS IN NEW YORK.
Probably Half Million Dollars Invested
In This Sort of characterization.

Probably Half Million Dollars Invested
In This Sort of characterization.
A stroll along Broadway early in the
morning discloses an army of men en-
gagged III polishing the brass signs that
flank the entrance of the stores, and the
same sight may be noted on Sixth ave-
nue. or any of the other principal bust
ness streets. Walk down one Of these
thoroughfares an hour later, and the
rays of the sun, reflected from thou
sands of FURNISHED surfaces, made bright
for the day by vigorous rubbing, dance
about you and dazzle your eyes, In fact,
commercial New York is city of brass
signs.
The other day South Fifth avenue
maker was asked if he could give an es-
innate of the amount of money invested
in these standing ads. " of metal.
"Well," he replied. ''a door sign Of
brass costs from $50 to $3.50, according
to it's size, lettering and border designs.
OF course you san get small Office signs
for less money, but I am speaking OF
those used by merchants, bankers and
that class of people. Take some large
stores, and you will notice they are lit
orally bordered with brass signs at the
entrances and long signs beneath the big
show windows. A display OF that sort
represents an outlay of from anywhere
between $500 and 50, 900. From the To-
cal business our firm does and from a
general knowledge Of how our rivals are
getting on, I have no hesitancy in say
ing that commercial New York city has
$500, 900 invested in brass signs. -

that could be exerted by 1000, 900, 900
men, or more than twice the total work
ing population of the entire globe. Four
fifths of the power machines now in &C
tive service have been made during the

THE ENGAGED YOUNG MAN.
He Who Follows These Rules Shall L
Happy In His Betrethal.

He Who Follows These Rules Shall BE
Happy In His Betrethal.
1t will be we'll for the man who eX-
pects to sail smoothly into the matri-
monial port to continue those f1atterlng
attentions after his engagement which
preceded it. 1t will not suffice for him
to talk of what he is saving to make
their little home worthy OF her. He
pest, by some magic be able both to
sSSe money for the future and to pro-
vide her with the flowers, books, bon
bons, theater tickets and other tritles
which he bestowed upon her when there
was no future to be taken into consider
alton.
He must treat her people with defer
ence, corCiiality and tilial affection. He
must let her complain of all their faults,
retail all the family quarrels and point
out all the family imperfectlons With
ont ever allowing the knowledge he &C
ouireS thus 10 Jirgc his behavior. he
must listen To her abuse OF them with
sympathy and never by any chance show
ANYTHING but the highest regard for
them himself.
He must like all her friends He
must treat 1.-The girls with the init
macy which never borders on familiar
ity; must enjoy their society, which
will be thrust upon him at all times
and places, and at the same time must
be prepared to agree with her estimate
of their shortcomings 1t will be just as
we'll for him never to admire them too
eXtravagantly.
In public he must always be prepared
to show her the attention she needs, but
must also be prepared to let her "have
a good time" ullhampered by his devo-
ton. For instance, he must never let
her sit out dance alone, yet he must
never glover when she seems to be
dancing often with other men. His man
ner must be perfect mingling of devo-
ton and noninterference.
Incidentally it may be added that an
occasional dose of neglect is wholesome,
and that semioccasional quarrel is not
to be despised. -Philadelphia Times.

THE SOlAClNG WEED.
Ca>flized Men Take to Tobacco as Level
Above the Lower Animals.

Above the Lower AhiihsiSs
In the opinion of about four in every
five men the essential difference between
man and the inferior animals is that
man smokes tobacco. Occasionally pre-
cocious monkey has been taught to
drink beer and smoke a pipe-Old Tom
in the London ZOO, for instance-but
tbs only emphasizes the exclusive hu-
n.4anuess of smoking The monkey is
nearest kin to man and is in full prog
ress toward the human state. AS the
ultra temperance lecturers affirm, "A
dog wouldn't smoke the vile weed.
No other animal than superior man and
the anthropoid ape will smoke. Perhaps
in the civilized white world one man in
five is the victim of some defect that
disqualifes him for smoking. The de-
feet may be a tendency to a cancerous
growth, or it may be a wife or mother
in-law. The remaining four are in the
full enjoyment OF all their faculties
and the right to pursue happiness
through a cloud of tobacco smoke.
Lack of opportunity to smoke is with
out doubt the most affective evil under
which majority of men suffer. A
large proportion of men are employed
in offices, stores and shops where rules
against smoking are rigidly enforced.
This is entirely proper. No superior
smoker ever smokes while working. To
do that is to debase the luxury and to
take off the keen edge of the pleasure.
1t is intemperance and dissipation. The
most expert wine tasters never drink to
excess, but find that in moderation only
does the palate retain its power to de-
tect the delicate flavor. So with smok
ing. At night, after few pipes or CT
gars have dulled the edge of appetite, il
is allowable to smoke half dozen with
some violence to stimulate a jaded pal
ate, but at other times pleasure goes
with moderation. To smoke after meal
is the imperative demand of the whole
system. Not to be able to do this is to
incur endless disorders of the nervous
system, the stomach and the entire di
gestive apparatus and sometimes to in
vite progressive decay Of the mental
faculties. There is no better preparation
for days work for the smoker than
pipe or cigar after breakfast. New

Chicken Surgery In Florida.

A marauding hawk made an attack
on a Lakeland Ella. fowlyard and sue
ceeded in ripping a chickens craw en-
tirely from it's body, SO that it dragged
on the ground, and also cutting hole
through the craw, so that it would not
hold food. A day or two afterward the
owner caught it, and one Of the ladies
of the family performed surgical opera

chicken was soaked in hot water until
the wounded and dry skin was made
elastic again, the craw was restored to
its place, the wound sewed up, and now
that is about the healthiest chicken in

That DespOt, the Edition.

The despotism of editors is not so ar
bitrary as it used to be. My memory
does not go back to the fear in which
the quarterly, $50 savage and slaugh-
terly,'' used to be held. One would
have supposed it took its name from its
quartering as we'll as executing its VIC
Tins. In my time nobody cared much for
the attacks of the heavier reviews, partly
perhaps because they were generally be-
lated and did not bear down upon au-
thors until their regulations had been es-
tablished, but the power of the weekly
organs of literature was still considera-
ble The then editor of The Athen8um,
Hepworth Dixon, was greatly feared by
the small fry Of literature and not
much liked by the large fry.
It is we'll known that Thackeray had
objections to his daughter becoming an
authoress, from the apprehension Of
what Dixon might write Of her work. l
remember as young man, when speak
ing rather gushingly of the kindness l
had received from editors in Dickens
presence, he observed with a droll look
that he concluded had not yet made
the, acquaintance of Hepworth Dixon.
1 had met him, however, at dinner and
had had rather a humorous experience
of him.

of conciliatory reproof, observed: "Pro-

REPRESSION.

Oh, sing song to delight the world,
And play sonatas most sweet and rare!
Oh, send hopes message to heart sick souls,
And Danish from earth all carking carei
All! pinoned the hands that arstwhile played,
And hushed the voice that longeth to sing,
Repressed the life, as the poisoned bird
That beateth the bars with firing wing.

That cometh when these short years are DER,
The warming soul-ah, then free indeed
Is ne'er repressed on the other shore.

"A TROUBADOUR IN TROUBLE.

to Atlanta.

W. D. Frye, one Of the bicycle trou-
badours that stranded in this city, has
gotten into trouble, for a warrant was
sworn out Saturday for his arrest by
A. E. Leopold.
Leopold's story is that he used his
influence in Quitting the party at Los
Angeles with wheels for their trip
across country to the Atlanta exposi-
ton. He was personally responsible
for the bicycles. He was the only one
that had money and has been paying
the expenses Of the trip until he went
broke. When the company disbanded
at Prescott Leopold Frye and another
man came to Phoenix. Frye was not
satisfied and wanted to travel to At
lanta alone. Leopold objected, saying
he had to account for the wheels. Frye
Notwithstanding, took a wheel and
started out from here. He got as far
as Tucson, where he was apprehended.

DISASTROUS COLLISION.
Only a Hoodoo Bicycle Was
Hurt.

q. o. Brown, the abstractor, had
close call from being distracted from
this mundane sphere by coming in col
lision with street car Sunday night.
Brown claims that the accident came
about by riding No. 13 wheel. He
was riding alongside the electric car
line on his way home from church
and was, as he supposed, out of danger
from cars travelling in the same direc-
ton. He was mistaken, however, as a
car was coming after him on the track
used by upgoing cars. The motorman
rang the bell diligently, but Brown
was in an distracted mood and needed
not, thinking the car was on the other
track. He was made aware of his
mistake when the rear wheel of the
bicycle was struck and swung around
almost in front of the car. Mr. Brown
undertook to punch a hole in the at
mosphere and did so with more force
than elegance. He landed on the
hard street right side up and unhurt,
but his number IL wheel was a subject
