HANDY MAN FOR SALE

Poet, Sculptor, and Builder A paper in the province of Transsylvania, which was formerly Hungarian, and now belongs to New Rumania, has published the following advertisement, says the .Vienna correspondent of the London “Observer”:— I am thirty-nine years old, and tall. I sell myself for sfjx years, or, to put it more aptly, my spiritual and bodily strength, to those making the highest bid. Transferring the rights of ownership, I under-take-to work out drafts of technical artistic labour, carrying it out in silk, leather, etc. Further, I undertake the drafts, accomplishment, and sale of all needlework, bookkeeping, works of sculpture, the production of poems, stories, and plays, politicaT speeches, the work of a private secretary, the arrangement of libraries, photographing and developing, keeping in order orchards, their planting and culture, rearing of bees and production of bee-hives, drafts of buildings and control

of building. If required, I can deposit a sum as guarantee. Experts can see from the style and many-sidedness of the advertiser that he is a Hungarian of Transsylvania by birth, as the Hungarian inhabitants of that province build, carve, and paint their houses themselves. The only thing missing in the advertisement is the statement of price.
