ABOUT ADVERTISING.
Unless 1t is Done Carefully 1t is Apt
to Become Badly Mixed.

Advertising is a great thing, re-
marked Gilhooley the other day, but it
wants to be edited; otherwise there will
be some bad breaks made. For in
stance, a sign on Broadway reads: L.
Studenberg, pants exclusively" Now,
why should Studenberg pant exclusive
ly? Why don't he growl or kick-if
business is dull-or bark or whine?
Why pant exclusively? Beside, the
weather is not warm enough for man
to do much painting. Studenberg ought
to come out in a card and explain his
sign.
The other day my attention was
called to a sign on the Bowern which
read:
Your hat blocked while you wait for
fifty cents
AS it does not say how long you must
wait for fifty cents. there is no telling
when you get your hat back.
Another sign on Sixth avenue is very
misleading, to say the least. 1t reads.
Female Pants Makers Wanted"
There is no excuse for such careless
wording, but there is a great deal of it
done. l saw in the want column the
turing firm, which was worded in this
way:
''Wanted-Four girls to strip in q to-
bacco factory"
And Just underneath this was an
other small lad" stating:
For Rent-Two rooms furnished

book of its kind. The author, who is an
experienced traveller and writer, has here
given the results of his recent extended
journeys through the different countries
Of Asia, together with personal observa-
lions of their native peoples, just as they
are found today in their homes and at
their work. The plan of the book, to-
gether with its charm of style, makes it
specially interesting and valuable. The
reader is made to accompany Mr.. Carpen-
ter on his travels. taking ship with him
at Vancouver, visiting first Japan, and
then proceeding to the several Asiatic
countries in turn. Each chapter is as en-
tertaining as story, besides conveying a
large amount of valuable information.
Indeed the book might appropriately be
called ga Trip Through Asia with the
Children" The interest and effectiveness
OF the book is greatly enhanced by the
illustrations, which are found on almost
every page. They are remarkably good
haf-tone reproductions from photographs
taken by the author ON the ground. The
work is also supplied with number of
clear, well executed maps of Asia and all
it's countries.

How a Brave shikari Killed Man Eater

! You all know that a man-eater is gen
orally tiger too old. sick, or inactive to
catch his natural prey in the jungles, so
he hangs about a village like an area
sneak, picks up goats and calves, one day
falls on helpless man, woman, or child
at the edge of the forest, and having
tasted human flesh, longs for more. Con-
firmed man eaters, it is said, care for no
other, but this l doubt; they may prefer
| it to any other; it is probably easier to
get in many cases. But whether a tiger
becomes man-eater by force of circum-
stances or malice prepense, he is terror
to the neighborhood he frequents, and,
as he adds to the total of his victims,
helpless villagers invest him with super
| natural attributes, and call on their gods
to avert his wrath
A noted specimen of this class had
killed great number of people about d
certain village somewhere in Kattyawar,
| and had taken to polishing off dak-run-
ners as they passed through a narrow
jungly defile, three or four miles from the
| village. He grew so cunning that shl-
karis were baffled time after time in their
attempts to sight him. When an armed
escort accompanied the dak-runners moth
| ing happened; so after some days 1t was
| thought the tiger had shifted his quart
ers. Then the escort was dropped one
| evening, and Immediately another unfor-
tunate runner disappeared. A special
reward was offered by the government,
but without results. For months and
months ..the..man-eater continued to kill
with impunity. My cousin in the Staff
| Corps, a keen shikari and very deter
mined fellow, swore he would shoot that
tiger; got ten days leave, and pitched his
tent near the village in question. He
tried all he knew, tied up buffalo calves,
beat the jungles with 300 or AGO men, even
accompanied a dak-runner at dusk
through the fatal defile, but in vain.
At last he resolved to personate the
dak-runner himself, and go alone. At
tried as native and armed with rifle
and pistol, he slung mail bag over his
shoulder and started on his perilous adj
venture one evening at sunset. Jingling
number of little bells attached to his
person, after the manner of dak-runners,
he trotted on till he reached the place of
evil omen. Then all at once with a
bound the man-eater appeared in the
middle of road not twelve feet wide,
facing him. The man pulled up short at
a distance of some fifteen yards, raised
his twelve bore, and, by the mercy of
God, dropped the tiger stone dead with a
ball in the brain .-Badminton Magazine.

There seems to be no doubt but that a
treaty has been drawn annexing the
Sandwich Islands to the United States as
territory, and that it will be presented
to the Senate with the approval of the
President shortly. No doubt the time has
come when the United States must take
some definite action in regard to Hawaii.
The present government is not strong
enough to maintain itself unaided against
the encroachment of Japan and unless
our government intervenes the chances
are that Hawaii will soon be gobbled up
either by Japan or some other.power. The
treaty that. has been drawn follows SUBJ
stantially the lines of the one that was
negotiated during President Harrison s
administration which was withdrawn
by President Cleveland, the most
notable difference being that tho ex-Queen
gets no pension under it. The friends of
the treaty believe that it will secure the
necessary two thirds vote in the Senate
and that annexation will be an accom-
plished fact within a short period There
are some problems to be solved with re-
gard to the government of Hawaii that
may prove perplexing. The labor problem
is one of them.

The New York politicians are not taking
very kindly to Seth Low for candidate
for Mayor, and if he is selected it will be
because they are forced to take him by
public sentiment and not because they
want him. Mr.. Low will undoubtedly
make an ideal mayor for the new city,
and if the SO called respectable element
will go to work he can probably be elect
ed. But the SO called respectable element
is generally much better at grumbling
and complaining than at working at the
polls.

The serious illness of Senator Aldrich

the scheme has been abandoned for the

of the state inasmuch as purely state
question is involved.

The tariff on tea and the tax on beer
provided for in the revenue bill as it came
from the hands of the Senate finance COM
mittee are likely to be eliminated before
the bill passes the Senate. The tariff on
tea is not in line with the policy of pro-
tectionists which is to admit free PARTICLES
not produced in the country and to place
duties on competing products. Loyalty
| to this policy would eliminate the tea
duty, but the reason for dropping the tax
on beer, if it be us reported, the opposi-
ton of the brewing interests is not so
good. Certainly the dropping of that tax
and the substitution of stamp tax on
checks and notes which is proposed in
some quarters would not be popular
move; and it would be pretty hard work
to defend it.

Mr.. Bryan seems to have been unusually
discreet on his recent visit to New York.
The Tammany leaders wanted him to
give them little assistance in local poll
tics, but he very properly replied tina
local politics was none of his business.
He was urged to speak at the meeting in
behalf of municipal ownership of public
franchises but again he showed good
sense in saying that that was a matter
which concerned citizens and not out
siders. The only things he vouchsafed in
regard to politics were that he thought
the cause OF silver was gaining and that
prosperity had not returned. If Mr..
Bryan can have his way prosperity will
not come until adversely has remained
long enough to bring about his election to
the presidency. Luckily Mr.. Bryan
cannot have his way.
