MERICAN AIR-BRAKES are now being used on Russian railroad: and after a while it is quite hkely that Russian tea and Russian cig: rettes will be grown in the United States. And it is quite within the pale of possibility that in the near future full-course candle-dinners and lunch- cons will be constructed in this country and sent to Russia in cold storage. Uncle Sam may also lend her a fine assortment of Indian names Maine and guaranteed to throw the Russian names in the shade, enter into lively copartnership relations with the Americ. thus brace up the railroad interests of that large and breezy country. PERHAPS the best proof of the assertion that illustrated advertising makes the mare of business cover the ground in record-breaking time is found in the fact that almost any commodity can be caused to gather the public heart, even when accom- panied by a totally irrelevant picture. A tom-cat playing on a grand piano has been known to ake a hair-renewer go like ild-fire, while a small boy chew- ing the barrel of a seven-shoot- er, as if it were a banana or a Frankfurter sausage, has put a canned soup in high popular f vor. When a polar bear in a high hat and monocle, playing golf on a field of ice, has boomed and boosted a creosote shingle- stain and made its projector rich, it is not to be wondered at that a chewing-gum with a Greek name should have become the most widely-chewed of all gums by reason of its virtues, as set forth by a water-color represent- ing a turkey-buzzard_ playing poker with a cross-eyed’ man- in on the back of a peacock languidly eating a plateful of green ice-cream while lighted by achrysoprase smile. These pic+ tures have sold soups, soaps, hairpins, whirling bodk: sugar-cured fish-balls, and what not, until it has become the con- sensus of critical opinion that the irrelevant picture is a most im- portant factor in the success of anything, and that it bids fair to outshine the method which con- C sists in a variety actress’s golden x opinions of a Greek lexicon, or a : champion pugilist’s indorsement of a fagade or a mural decoration. After a while we may learn to appreciate the ad. as she is illus- trated. Then will a deeper ap- preciation of art in all its subtle meanings be felt by people who, through its refining influence, will receive a liberal education and be lifted into a higher atmos- phere of truth and beauty, Cs. AND TO SPARE. He—" So your married life is not happy? Well, you have my regrets."" ‘Sue. “Oh, I don't need them: | have enough of my own,” I" IS NOW STATED by one who speaks with authority that the educa: tion of the Indian 1s virtually a failure. This statement will be taken with a grain of salt by all discrmimating people who have seen the noble red perform on the gridiron, the diamond, and in other educational spheres. The argument against the education of the Indian ts that he will not stay educated, but persists in dropping back and resuming the practices of his early life. In other words, he talls from the grace of angel-cake and Greek and once more indulges in roast bow-wow and fire-water. But in his back- sliding he 1s not any ‘vorse than his white brother, who after graduation 1s usually famous for that which he is not. Notwithstanding, tt is to be hoped that the education of the red man will go on until his wigwam-pole is heavy with the hoods, or rather the scalps. of LL.D., Ph.D., and other degrees from the leading universities of the earth, THE FASHIONS in cookery are not less susceptible of change than are those of dress, if we may not only believe that which we see, but that which we read concerning this important part of the domestic menage. The sandwich, daintily beribboned like a sandal-wood lute, is a morsel of joy to the eye; but to one in the enjoyment of a sound normal appetite we should think that less ribbon and more sandwich would be the correct for- mula. Such a critic would become, when well ballasted with the comme unribboned sandwich, the possegsor of an artistic feeling that would cause him to more keenly appreciate the beauties of any conceit of form or color than if he had just partaken of the taffeta sandwich, which, compared with the ball-ground sandwich, is as nothing from the gi -y point of view. But the ribbons holding the sandwich together in the similitude of a pair of suspenders are not all. We are now to have perfumed sandwiches. There will be the jockey-club ham, the ylang-ylang Swiss cheese, and the patchouly corned-beef specimens, to fill the soul and the stomach of the most fastidious with joy. On ordering « sandwich one will name his fa- vorite perfumery, ind the clerk will open the charmed volume and apply the scent from tomizer, even as the florist when he lifts the wilted violet to its pristine splendor in the presence of the purchaser. There will also be tinted strawberries, that a whimsical damsel may have hers colored to suit her gown or the chromatic character of her dinner-plates. Nile-green straw- berries against a background of écru might be an eye-opener in book-cover effects, and many new ideas in the direction of note- and wall-paper com- binations might be gathered from strawberries worked up into symphonies in mauve, fantasies in elephant's breath, and other rare and un- usual hand-made colors. How the strawberry is going to be im- proved by this innovation it is difficult to see; but then there are people so fearfully and won- derfully constructed’ that they only appreciate green plums when tinted purple and purple plums when tinted green. Yet if any worthy still-life artist should be benefited by the strawberry-tint- ing departure the fad will not have been in vain. The water- melon may in time be white- washed for the Ethiopian market and prove. as dear to the heart of the African beans and m are to the classic heart of dear old New England. And it is to be hoped that the flavored egg also prove an overwhelming success. When flavored with vanilla or rose it will doubtless. be greatly improved, especially when on the down-grade and effete. We may yet see and eat the pistache omelet and the al- mond fry shipwrecked... If these eggs are flavored before hatch- ing the poulterer’s business may, be revolutionized. They may Produce chickens so flavored } to enable us to have celery-tur- key, which will be turkey and celery in one, and thus save the price of the latter. Then we may spring We live in a progressiv - age, and therefore hail with de- light the highly-perfumed_ sand- wich, the rainbowed strawberry, and the wild-cherried egg, all of which are, we judge, quite as de- lectable, as highly refined and artistic, from any point of view.
