A SIGNMAKER'S LAMENT.
Decay *<»f a Branch of the Painting Bus!-
nei
Works of Art.
Any person anxious to know what has lx>
come of tho majority of the emblematic signs
which ton or fifteen years ago hung half a
dozen in every block should visit any largo
signmaker’s workshop. The once familiar
wineseller’s bunch of grapes, the glover’s
hand, the locksmith’s key, the carpenter’s
saw, the blacksmith’s mighty arm, the
butcher’s hour’s head, the hundred and one
figures that formerly stood in front of tobac
conists’ shops inviting customers to enter,
are all on dusty shelves in the storerooms.
“They are all gone out,” said a signmaker,
ruefully looking over his collection. “True,
the idea of painting tobacconists’ signs white
and making them look weird and ghost like
revived that particular sign for a time and
brought back same of its old time effective
ness, but emblematic signs in general belong
to tho past. About all we sell nowadays are
mortars, boots and clocks. Singularly
enough the demand for them is not from
country houses, but from the city. One
would think that city people in the hunt for
originality that business competition com
pels would reject sooner than countrymen
the oldest merchant’s sign known to man.
Emblematic signs need pushing. They
ought to bo still a good advertisement.
Why, some of them, particularly the life
figures, are works of art. There are wooden
and metallic Indians and beasts in stock that
pretentious sculptors would not be ashamed
of. Look at that bull’s head and at that
bust of Gambrinus! Look at the care and
time it t^ok to carve even so simple a thing
as a gun and get it true to life. Emblematic
signs are carved no more. Those that are
built are made of iron, either cast or spun.
A use for which some of them yet command
a good price is as weather vanes and as the
tops of flagstaffs. There are numerous men
in town who have expensive emblematic
vanes on their stables. I heard of one man
who took his indoors at night. It was so
costly he was afraid it would tempt thieves.
“But business in other kinds of signs is
brisk enough,” he continued. “We make
them of wood, iron, glass, mirrors, porcelain,
copper, wire, silk, velvet and plush. The
signs in this city, as a whole, are second iu
artisticness only to those in .New York, and
that city’s signs are second to noue. The
tendency is all toward display, with as much
gold and glitter as possible. I wouldn’t dare
guess how many hundreds of thousands of
dollars’ worth of gold leaf the signmakers of
tho country use up in a year. Carved signs
are the most exjjensive. It’s no uncommon
thing for a merchant to plaster $1,500 to
$2,000 worth of signs on the front of his
store.”—Chicago Times.
Scenes in Colombo, Ceylon.
Hero comes striding through the press a
gaunt, wild looking specter, nude to the
waist, his huge bones seeming to start
through his brown, leathery skin, and his
fierce, black eyes glaring out beneath a for
est of shaggy hair. There, with the slow
step and stately bearing of a man who knows
his own importance, comes a Mil form with
the shaven crown, long yellow robe, and red
fan of a Buddhist priest, carrying me back
in a moment to the barbaric temples and
island monasteries of Siam. Then, perched
in the eastern fashion astride of its mother’s
hi >, with her arm around it, appears a native
child—the prettiest little bronze statuette
imaginable—with huge silver bangles glitter
ing upon the dark skin of its tiny wrists and
ankles, and all its splendid white teeth dis
played in a constant laugh of wondering en
joyment at the surrounding stir and bustle.
And now wo might appropriately sing
“The Tamils are Coming,” for round the cor
ner file a perfect battalion of the famous
Malabar race, whoso conquest of Ceylon ages
ago is one of the chief landmarks in its
stormy history* Their snow white turbans
and spotless turtles look delightfully cool and
fresh in the blistering glare of the noonday
sun; but their faces, though smooth and
sleek as that of a Greek statue, have an un
mistakable coarseness in the outline of their
broad, blunt noses and thick lips which would
contrast very unfavorably with the small,
delicate, sharply cut features of a genuine
Hindoo. Next passesatall Malay in the white
“baju” (jacket) and particolored “sarong’’
(close fitting skirt)-of his national Costume,
looking doubly picturesque by contrast with
the queer nondescript garb of a group of half
caste women, whose shabby black European
gowns and ill shaped hats add something even
to the ugliness which bountiful nature has so
lavishly bestowed upon them. Then ad
vances a short, stout Cingalese, whose thick
black hair is gathered into a kind of club on
the top of his head and fastened there with a
huge crescent shaped comb of tortoise shell.—

Modern System of Advertising.
The honest system of advertising should be
but a small announcement of the offer of
goods for the information of those who desire
to purchase, in such a manner that those
who desire to purchase, may, by seeking,
find. But in advertising as it now exists,
exaggeration is piled on exaggeration, and
falsehood is added to falsehood. The world
is filled with monstrous lies, and they are
thrust upon attention by every possible
means. The mails are filled with them.
When a man opens his mail in the morning,
tho letter of his friend is buried among these
advertising monstrosities. They are thrust
under street doors, and they are offered you
as you walk the streets. When you read the
morning and evening papers, they are spread
before you with typographic display, they
are placed among the items you desire td
read, and they are given false headings,
and they begin wjth decoy headings* They
are posted upon walls, and on the fences,
and on the sidewalks, and on bulle
I tin boards, and the barns and housetops
and the fences of all the land are covered
I with them, and they are nailed to the tree
j and painted on rocks. Thus it is that the
whole civilized world is placarded with lies,
and the moral atmosphere of the world
wreaks with the foul breath of this monster
of antagonistic competition.—Maj. J. W.
Powell.
Better ( ooki Than Women.
Not perhaps for the same reason that great
chefs are men, but because one of the most
I striking phases of the civilization of today
| develop® itself in that direction, men are get
ting tobe better cooks than women. They
I have always been better gastronomers. But
I the man about town, the luxurious idler who
¡breakfast® at Delmonico’®, lunches at the
Brunswick or at Savarin’s and dine® at
Koiari’a, actually knows, as a rule, more
about the constituents of the dishes on the
menu, and how they are put together and
heated to achieve a desirable result, than any
woman he is ever likely to meet there or
le'aewhere. There isn’t one woman in a
| hundred who can go into a restaurant such
as those ami order what a man would call “a
decent meal.” Women who have traveled,
much of life as their husbands and
brothers see it, owe a vast deal of tbeir popu
larity to tbeir acquired ability to know just
I what's what acnsw a table a deux.—New
lork Press “Every Lay Talk.”
THE HUNGER STRIKE.
GRIM DETERMINATION OF POLITICAL
PRISONERS IN RUSSIA.
They Wanted Peruil.alun to Work, to Re
ceive Food from the Outside, to Reed
and to Go to Church—Victory Secured
at Last.
The following morning—it was July 8—all
the prisoners of the “right solitary” refused
to eat their food. When the warders, at the
>rder of the director, opened tho cells at 8
«.’clock in the afternoon they found the food,
placed there in the morning, untouched. An
xcolleut supper, consisting of fragrant
.ouillou, delicious roast beef and fuming tea
uxl cakes—food the prisoners had already for-
.otten the taste of—was placed iu the cells in
the evening, but they were not to bo tempted,
.nd took no notice of it. The same night
hey were joined by the “lefts," or the oceu-
ants of the “left solitary,” who had by some
leans learned of their action and of the
auses which prompted it. Seeing that tho
risoners were in earnest, the director, at
aiduight, ordered all food and water to be
amoved from the cells. “1’11 make them
eg for food,” he thought Ho did not sleep
oat night. He stole on tiptoe from one
,icket hole to another, watching what tho
.risoners were doing. They lay on their
.allots, gazing at the ceiling, or talking to
u h other by knocks, and in the twilight of
ie cells their bodies reminded the director
.1' hobgoblins. Grim silence prevailed in the
amdor.
Early iu the forenoon a delicious breakfast
vas brought into the cells, but the prisoners
xhibited no desire to eat it, and it was taken
:ick to the kitchen. At noon a luxurious
.nner was served, and although it remuinod
intouched, it occurred to tho director to
ave it all day in the cells. Tho voluntary
ufferers threw the food into the “panishkas."
iu the eveniug the same story was re|ieated,
.vitb the same result. Tho director ordered
ilishkin, AlexandroiT and Cicianoff to be
brought from the "karzer' buck to their cells,
hopiug to reconcile the prisoners, and that
the three men, touched by their pardon,
would try and persuade the others to give up
their dangerous undertaking, but ho found
he luid made a mistake—Mishkin, as well as
Cicianoff and Alexandiv.fr, joined their fol
low prisoners.
At a late hour of the second night the di
rector, accom[>aiiied by tho prison physician,
went from cell to cell, begging and suppli
cating the prisoners to eat, reminding them
of their homes, fathers, mothers, relatives
und friends, to whom they might soon re
turn, apologizing for the rudeness ho hud dis
played when overzealous in the performance
of his duties, and explaining that he was
merely a subordinate official who had to
obey the orders from those above him. At
all the cells the director received the same
laconic reply, "Grant what we ure asking.”
In tho forenoon of the third day the pris
oners were all led into the yard, where the
common prisoners aud soldiers sat aroiind
large tables eating and drinking. Tho direc
tor thought that the sight of persons eafiug
would induce tho hungry to take food, but
they did nothing of tho kind, and were taken
buck to their cells. Outside the prison walls
nothing wus know n of all these horrors. The
direct r gave strict orders to all soldiers and
warders to keep their mouths shut, and, fear-
iisg liis wrath, they carried out his orders to
the letter. The serious character of the affair
so frightened the director that in tho morn
ing of the fourth day be dismissed all the
warders whose insolence had displeased the
prisoners, and gave orders to their successors
to be as jMiIite and gentle as possible. Again
and again he visited the cells, humiliating
himself before those whom he formerly
treated as leasts, and coujuring them to eat
and to live for the sake of their relatives and
friends, but his efforts wore of no avail.
In the evening of the fourth day the prison
priest, a low lived hypocrite, went with a
large crews in his arms from cell to cell, sup
plicating tho prisoners to eat, in the name of
God, but his prayers and entreaties received
no attention from the half dead sufferers.
Their condition that night was of a most de
pressing nature. Most of them could no
longer stand on their feet; some fainted,
others raved constantly, an I special warders'
hail to watch at their beds all night in order
to prevent their sudden expiration. The
11rector did not sleep all night. The physi-
lan and his assistants had never had such a
.usy time before. Fifty-eight men were
ipparently dying slowly from voluntary
tarvation. They touched nothing but water,
md some also abstained even from this.
Tho same night a conference, presided over
by the director, and attended by the physi-
ian, the priest, the officers of tho garrison
aid the head warders, was held at the prison
>!Hce. The director delivered a mournful
[leech, saying that he was tired of the duties
f his office, that his office would kill him in
few years, and that he was ready to resign
. his resignation would be accepted. “But
.hat is to be done nowf he exclaimed, dra-
uitically. “I cannot grant their demands;
i’s beyond my power to do it. Up to the
resent time I still hoped the fellows would
innge their minds or break down and begin
> eat. For this reason I intended not to let
'io governor know of this horrible affair.
Jut now I see they aro in earnest. They are
'.etermined to die. I don’t want to be solely
esjionsible for tbeir deaths, and I think it’s
ime to report ev<k-ything to the governor
.id let him act as he thinks best.”
All agreed that no other course was possi
le under the circumstauws, and a report
■ as got up and forwarded immediately to
lie governor of Kharkoff. On the sixth day
if the famine—July 8—Councilor Houmtzeff,
iccompanieii by the chief doctor of tho
■rovince, arrived at the “centralka.” Thev,
loo, liegan by exhorting the prisoners to take
-.me nourishment Accompanied by the
iircctor and the prison physician, they went
rotn cell to cell, arguing, begging and
ireatening, but their efforts were as useless
is those of the director and his assistants.
On the seventh day the prison was visited
by a number of generals and the procureur,
or attorney general, of the province. They
received the same categorical reply: “‘Grant
our demands.” Seeing that nothing could
shake the resolution of the prisoners, and
baring to wait any longer, the governor
ordered the director to capitulate—that is,
to promise to fulfill all tbeir demands. As
the prisoners had no faith in promises of
Russian government officials, both the gov
ernor and the director had to sign a paper
obliging tliemselves to permit the political
prisoners tc work, to receive food from the
outside, to read all the books permitted by
the state censor, to visit the prison church on
a Sunday named by them. etc. Thus, on the
eighth day of the famine—July 10—tbe pris
oners once again took food.— Michael Aiaikoff
in Chicago News.
