Charm of American Critics.

rom the LONDON chronicle.
What gives American criticism it's great
est charm in the eyes of a sophisticated
older world is the ferocious touch Of inter-
nationalism that it rarely lacks. 1t is for
ever wanting to know whether any other
country or any other age produced sucn
noyelists, poets, orators, &c, as the Amer
lea of today; and in most cases we can
thankfully reply No" This trait was car
riea farthest perhaps in the critic who sum
med up Demosthenes as 1.-The Chauncey NJ
Depew of Athens but it Is by no means
wanting in the author Of an article on
Some Poets, Old and New in the latest
issue of Harper's Weekly. In the course OF
a review on two hitherto inglorious Ameri-
can poets, of whose ability he supplies some
singularly youthful examples, the writer
declares: While we have poet like Mr.
Valentine, who can write such an ode as
that To Christopher Marlowe,' the sonnet
on Keats and Chatterton' and the lines on
Helen We need not look to England for
our best masters in verse, for" adds the
reviewer, deliciously. "in any one of these
poems Mr.. Valentine is the equal of Mr..
William Watson"

WHY MAN SLAVES.
Theory That the Custom Originated
From the Painting of the Body.
From the Montreal Star.


An English ethnologist has published an
article in which he touches on the origin
of the custom of shaving. His theory is
that the origin of shaving is to be found in
the very primitive custom of painting the
body. In more barbarous times this odd
vanity was everywhere marked, and it may
be supposed that no painted tribes like their
skin decoration to be hidden from view by
tools, like razors of obsidian, preceded any
instrument which could trim the hair
neatly, and thus the prehistoric hunter
artist whose beard came to a point and
whose sporting tactics are SO well shown
in his drawings, knew not the beginning of
the BARRIERS craft. The present English
writer thinks it may have been those tao
tics that made it necessary for his ances-
tors to shave both their faces and their
heads, considering how flowing boards and
long hair must have caught in every bush
and bramble the unshaven hunter
crawled along the ground.
This theory is quite In line with the his
tOric fact that Alexander the Great put an
end to boards in the Macedonian army be-
cause they Were pulled in battle The first
prehistoric man who Joined two metal
razors together introduced the art of clip
ping the beard to a point Many bronze
raZors have been eXhumed in France and
are at least as old as those Sicilian ones
with which Scipio Africanus set the fash
ion of shaving in Rome. but they were
modelled probably on other such instru-
ments used in times more primitive

IMPORTS OF MEXICO.
Lines of Trade which American EX.
pOrters Should Develop.

From Modern Mexico.
Figured a whole. the exporters of the
United States supply more than 30 per cent
of the imports to Mexico; but there are
several lines that fall greatly below this
mark. and in some of them at least this
condition could be remedied with proper
effort. The grocery trade of this country
is largely in the hands Of Spaniards, and
this is responsible for the fact that Spain
furnishes more than half Mexicos imports
of canned meats and fish; but these Span
iards are shrewd business men and buy
where they can buy best The extent of
this industry in the United States and the
proximity of the market would undoubted-
ly enable American manufacturers to Sc
cure Il larger share of this business. Mex
leo consumes considerable quantities of I'M
ported cheese, and yet the United States
does not sell this country One-half as much
Holland.
The United States falls below it's average
| in the sale of leather goods to Mexico, and
! Germany is a close second. Holland sells
almost twice the value of candles to Mex
leo that Americans do. In spices and
dried fruits there should be a larger mar
ket here for American products. Germany
and France both furnish Mexico with
more jewelry than the United States.
While, a rule, the United States main
tains its general average in iron and steel
sold to Mexico, Germany, Belgium and
England are all important competitors.
The United States supplies only % per
cent of the lime and Portland cement used
in this country, large supplies coming also
from England, Germany and Belgium.
The Importation of bottles for liquors has
become an important item in Mexico, and
it is practically controlled by Germany at
present. Germany has the lions share Of
Mexicos china and porcelain trade
Great Britain supplies practically all of
the thread used in Mexico and enjoys the
great bulk.of the countrys trade in nearly
all lines of cotton goods that are imported.
England also supplies most of Mexico S
linen goods and carpets. France leads in
several important lines of fine silk and
wooden goods and in corsets. Germany
supplies an unusually large share of crude
drug supplies, and French patent medi-
cincs are largely purchased here. France
leads, with Spain second, in the value of
wines and liquors sent to Mexico. In most
lines of paper imports the United States
is far ahead of other nations, but falls
short in the items of envelopes. cardboard
and in autographed paper. Germany takes
first rank in the amount of musical instru-
ments sold to this country. Swiss watches
imported to Mexico exceed in number
those from all other sources. Mexico uses
large quantities of perfumery, which is
mostly supplied by France.

A MERRY CEREMONY.
Kisses Collected I'm Lieu of Taxes on
Hook Tuesday.

From the London Globe.
The hooking" which. takes place in
Hungerford on the Tuesday following the
second Sunday after Easter. varies little
from that pra cticed in oden days in many
other parts of England. On the morning
of Hook Tuesday. Hocllney day, two Of
ficers. named tithing or "tutti-men" (col-
lectors OF penny 1.-THE and bearers OF
nosegays or 'tutties,' in west country par
lance, parade the town, carrying each a
staff ornamonted with flowers bedecked
with ribbons, and surmounted with an
orange. Their business is to call at every
house and demand a poll-taX of one penny
from each inmate over fourteen years OF
age; in the case of the fair sex, kiss may
be asked for as equivalent and no re-
fusal is taken, Usually a handsome sum is
given by the master of the house as pay
ment In full for himself and family, but
cases have occurred where timid and I'M

been afraid to open their doors lest the kiss
should be demanded without the option of

tutti-men are said TO have effected an ir-
regular entrance, and taken ample toll for
their extra trouble.
As the 'tutti-mon" are treated frequently
on their rounds the town is kept in a fer
ment for the greater part of the day, hosts
of holiday makers swelling the procession,
while cakes and oranges are freely enjoyed
by the Swarms of excited children who fol-
low close on the heels of the officers Hook
ing proper has disappeared from the order
of events, a circumstance to be regretted
by all lovers of quaint customs. Formerly
the men went through the town on Monday
carrying chair gayly decked with rib
bons, or, more probably, ii was kept con-
cealed until some unwary woman yentured
from her house, when she was caught
placed in the chair and hooked" or lifted
three times, after which, if unable or un-
willing to pay the tax of money demanded
she was kissed by all the jewellers. On the
following day it was the privilege of the
woman to hook the men, with the usual
result of large haul of money with which
supper was provided In most parts OF
England the celebration of hocktide has
fallen entirely into disuse; even in Berk-
shire, as We have seen, the rougher ele-
ment has been dropped. though the toll and
its substitute. the garlands, and the sup
per, are still religiously maintained.

new order for ladies with which her name
will be associated AS far back as the sew
enteenth century female orders of distinc-

ladies was founded by the Duke of wur-
temburg, with the curious name of THE
Order of Deaths Head" the badge being
a white enameled deaths head with jeweled
cross. The Empress Eleanora of Austria
founded THE Ladies' Order of the Cross"

peculiar title The Order of Ladies, Slaves

The late w. S. Stratton left $40, 000, :
900 for the establishment and main
tenance of a home for the aged and
feeble at Colorado Springs. An only
son, who was given $50, 900 a year,
will contest the will on the ground
that his father was of unsound mind.
Distinguished lawyers are to receive
a fee Of one million dollars if they
succeed in breaking the will in the
sons interest. In this case the bene-
fciaries of the will are practically
without representation-the aged and
feeble generally are. And it is too
bad that this is true. Stratton is the
first man who left the bulk of his for
tune to the poor and needy. He was
a very plain, common man, and he
did not seek notoriety by establishing
libraries, and endowing colleges. But
the chances are that those whom he
wished to aid will never receive the
benefit of his magnificent bequest-
indeed the fact that he made such a
bequest will be used to establish the
fact that he was of weak and %unsound
mind, and therefore unfit to make
disposition of his fortune.
