An Attempted rEonopoiy Thai Failed
 and its Consequences.

Lcndon, Aug. S.-EnglisEmen are slow to adopt the commercial meth ods of other peoples, but when once they do attempt them they show much energy and ingenuity in the applied tion of them. Sometimes, with the zeal of converts, they rival and even outstrip their exempIars in the ways that they have chosen to follow. Amer ican companies and merchants, seek ing to gain market in Britain for their goods, have. for example, shown English dealers some O. the more striking and effective methods of ad vertising as they are practiced beyond sea. The Rritons have proited by the lesson until they now use posters more frequently and more skiifully than do Americans Whether London learned the use of the illuminated signs from New York or New York from London I cannot say; but they flash upon near ly every freQuented street corner i'll the business quarters of the capital and of the larger provincial cities. In the theaters the delicate ingenuity with which Mr Tree and Mr Alex ander, for example, keep themselves ever in the public eye fairly puts to shame the coarsed methods of some American actors. Publishers. especial ly of novels by more or less popular writers, are learning the familiar American devices of preliminary re- clame. The makers and the vendors of popular magazines profit constant 1y by transatlantic methods of adver- Using, and among newspapers, even the Times has lately been selling sets of the Encyclopedia Britannica at a low rate in the fashion in which Amer ican newspapers used to sell less val uable compendiums. As for guessing contests and insurance policies with a copy of the periodical. they are old stories among the minor English prints
 Now there is in London an able. am bilious and innovating firm of trades men, Harmsworth by name, that seems to deal in all sorts of print and paper. and that are especially studious of American methods. They issue half penny morning newspaper. the Daily Mail, in which they are trying to com bine the brevity. the pertness, the gossip, the personalities. the wide range, the local color and the reform ing zeal of many American newspa- pers with the accuracy and the promptness of the best English jour nals. The Daily Mail appeals to the great public that the board schools have taught to read, that travels third class and rides in penny buses. that cares very little for haute politique

the smiling victims of all sorts of queries from the men nearest to them. while the women talked among them selves, occasionally asking: What arc they saying?"
 As the car turned into Adams street the conductor, a man well past middle , age, cane along the side Of the car t3 collect fares. Several men and one wo,naa who had already paid their cyTJl fare held out coins to him to pay fer the sailors and the narinees, but he waved the outstratched hands aside with the remark:
 "No, I've got a boy at the front my self. and I'm glad to see these lads. Their money is no good on this car. I'll blow them off myself"
 Sriting the action to the word, he grabbed the cord connected with the register and gave it five quick jerks. Good for you!" shouted the men pas sengers, while the women clapped their hands and the old conductor locked quite happy; but he was mare even more so when one of the sailors reached out, grasped his hand and shook it warmly. The others followed suit. and when it came the marine's turn the conductor took the uninjured hand gently and shook it with the ut
 most care. Almost every one in the car was moved at this scene, and if a nopular voting contest had been start ed then and there it would have been a close race for first honors between the men of the Texas and the old con- ductor. Everybody was in the pleas antest possible humor after this little occurrence and one of the sailors was soon talking about the Texas. He said she was real ripper" and "good un" for a hoodoo ship.

Late yesterday afternoon four jack tars and one marine of the battleship Texas, the marine with his right arm in sling, boarded a Coney Island trolley car at the entrance of the bridge in Brooklyn. Nearly every seat in the car had its full quota of pas sengers when the five men boarded it, but glance was sufficient. and there was a great crowding and squeezing to make room. Some men even jump ed up and offered their seats, but the general closing up made this unnec- essary, as the five men of the Texas were soon seated. and were already

IS IT 4 PLACE FIT TO LIVE IN?

This depends on what one expects in huge, parsely settled Territory of mount aims and deserts. The man who looks for either the beauty or the seductive excite ment of Monte Carlo will not lind it. As little will he GGd the historic remains or the cosmopolitan attractions of Egypt; nor could he reasonable expect the amusements and luxuries of our own Eastern cities. The people of Arizona are still chiefly busy in the pioneer work of subduing it to the residence and uses of civilized man. But it has two transcontinental lines of railway with numerous feeders; it has fast mails, and rival telegraph lines, and is throbbing with the intense life of the splendid West
 The two principal towns in the south ern portion, chiefly sought for their climatic advantages, are Phoenix and Tucson Each of them Las ten thousand inhabitants or more. They have the electric light, tele- phones, trolley cars, plenty of hotels, banks, bookstores, good schools, churches. an occasional theatrical performance, some- times lecture or a circus, often horse race, and, in the spring. thoroughly curious and interesting "hesta." For the cest, people must take their amusements with them. Good horses are abundant and cheap. and there are plenty of cow boys-the genuine article-to show what horses can do. The driving for fifteen or twenty miles in almost any direction from Phoenix, is nearly always easy.

 Place of Residence in Winter.
 Whitelaw Reid. owner ald editor of the New York Tribune, who has spent the last his health, writes entertainingly and in structively concerning that part of the country. Mir. Reid says:
 So many questions are asked about Ari- zona as place for winter residence, and there appears to be such a dearth of pre- else information among many who are vitaIly interested, that it seems almost a public duty, to set down, in the simplest form, few facts of personal observation
 WEATHER.
 During 8 five months residence in Southern Arizona in winter there was but one day when the weather made it actually unpleasant for me to take exercise in the open air at some time or other during the day. Of course there were a good many days which a weather observer would de scribe as 'cloudy," and some that were 'showery; but during these five months (from No' ember, 1895, to May, lS96. ] there were only four days when we did not have brilliant sunshine at some time dur ing the day. Even more than Egypt, any where north of Luxor, Arizona is the laud of sunshine. As to details:
 TEMPERATURE.
 1 have seen the thermometer mark 92 degrees in the shade on my north piazza in March. On the other hand, we had frosta which killed young orange trees, and tlsere were several nights when thin ice formed.

April. The same reports show the highest and lowest temperatures, averaged for eight years, at the same place, as follows: For November 7S1a degrees and 42 degrees, December 731s degrees and 36H degrees, January 65H degrees and g degrees, Feb ruary 7lH degrees and 35H de rees. March Sl11 114 degrees and fl degrees and April S61a degrees and 46 degrees. The nights throughout the winter are apt to be cool enough for open wood fires, and for blankets. Half the time an overcoat Is not needed during the day, but it Is never prudent for stranger to be without one at hand
 The atmosphere is singularly clear, tonl' and dry. 1 have never seen it clearer anywhere in the world. It seems to have about thesame bracing and eXhilaratin! qualities as the air of the Great Sahara il Northern Africa, or of the deserts abou Mount Sinai, in Arabia Petraea. It i: much drier than Tn the parts of Morocco Algiers or Tunis usually visited, and drie than any part of the Valley of the Nile north of the First Cataract.
