ART OF WRITING CIRCUS BILLS.
|! Takes q Man With Clever Brains 10 Write an
Acceptable and CaichT Circus Bill.

Men of inexperience who fancy they
can write a good circus bill should at
tempt the task. The art of writing a
strong, new, novel and original circus
bill is not acquired in a single day.
The real circus advertisement writer
is born, not made. This years liter
ature of the Adam Forepaugh- Sells
Brothers show amply proves that
There is a style and finish to their mat
ter that is nj once unique and decidedly
attractive. OF course. as in all litera
ture of this kind. the language is pic
turesquely voluminous. A man who
originates such sentences as the fol-
lowing is naturally a born circus
genius:
Double the most potential, liberal
and enlighted aggregation. Double
Ine most profit, instruction, recrea-
tion. pleasure and fun that were ever
before massed in railroad amusement,
making it in every sense and every
way the worlds foremost holiday in
stitution for the home. the individual,
the community and the country The
two largest menageries on earth,
unlteu, contain lnt nuBtSls NiihtSb
rarest. wisest beasts, uncqualled in
number. variety, size, quality and price.
Single specimens which cost more,
would sell for more. and are better
worth seeing than the entire collection
Of other shows. superb savage crea-
lures nowhere else exhibited"
These sentences. while perhaps ex-
ceedingly ilorid. are easily understood,
and the man who can write a bin that
the young folks can understand has
won far greater victory than the
man who writes for college professors
and scientists. A good circus bill
should be complete in every sense; it
ought also 20 be written so that all
classes who read may understand.
Many OF this seasons bill were writ
ten by Peter Sells. the general man
ager OF the Adam Forepaugh Sells
Brothers comb ned shows. Mr.. Sells
has been in the circus business for
probably forty wears. and his know
ledge OF it's requirements Is as keen as
II is accurate. MIR. Sells writes. not
with lightning rapidly. hut carefully
and deliberately. the result being en-
tlrcly satisfactory. His aptitude for
catchy phrases is entirely natural. and
nlliterative sentences of the most as-
ton shinu novelty come freely from his
apparently inspired pen. He has
score OF assistants and they work out
his ideas intellicentiy and quickly.
Tho Forepaugh- Sells circus will ex-
hibit In this city next Thursday. on the
Reservoir avenue grounds.

German Popular In France.

1t is said that the study of German
is increasing in France, while the
study of English is on the decrease.
In the Ecole des Sciences Politiques, in
Paris, where diplomats are trained,
many more study German than Eng
lish. Many young Frenchmen are now
being sent to Germany and Austria in
stead Of to England to get acquainted
with the language Of the yictors Of
1870. In Paris 1ycee 143 students
study German to "a English. In an
other school the proportion Of German
to English is 500 to 1873. In the Mar
settles gymnasium two-thirds study
German, one-third English. 1t is be-
heved here that this French interest
In German will have a powerful infu-
ence in the commerce and politics OF

world is used to seeing the man grow
Indifferent and the woman cold and
pale; but you-you might take the trag-
edy as it is within the four walls and
make it live and throb in there. You
might put it that at first the mans
mistake was in always straining for
ward to his goal, forgetting that the
happiest time is now-forgetting how,
when he looks at last he will not find
just the same laughing girl as he mar
ried. Often he left her, we will say;
he wanted cheerful faces and relaxa-
ton after his work, and the wife was
only like ghost creeping about the
house. And so at last, for her the only
alternative to a broken heart was
heart hardened to stone. And, oh, she
had SO loved him-had so determined
always to look her brightest and best
for him! That might have gone on till
the end, as it often does; but there
came a blow-one blow more than she
could bear. Well suppose-we'll sup
pose that one day the wife, somehow
or other, heard him talking to friend.
The friend was quiet; he had asked:
What's the matter with-with her? All
the romance gone that you used to talk
aboutY Make 1t-make it that she held
her breath for the answer, even then
even then; that even then she was
hungering to put her arms all around
him, and tell him, oh, no, it was not
gone! And supposing she heard him
say; Her! Pooh, take no notice Of her
always the same. Wish to God some
times I'd never married-what with
the expenses and the miseries at home.
Can't make her out-not like other wo-
men. Given it up long ago. Don't you
ever marry, old man. And supposing
the wife stood and cried to God to take
her on the spot, and that God did not
answer, and that at last-at last, when
something seemed as If it would snap
in her brain-she crept into her hus-
bands study and took out the pistol
that he kept in his desk and put it to
her forehead, and-and almost pulled
the trigger. Wouldn't paper accept
