THE DEADLY PARALLEL.
This world is not so very bad,
As some are prone to say:
But we could make it much more giad,
Could we but have our way.
We very quickly would destroy
Some foes to earthly bliss,
And bores who now this space enjoy:
We'd bottle up in this:
You've met the individual,
The hero guite unknown,
Who oft his wondrous tales wil! tell
Of doings aj] his own.
His future fame he paints for you,
Or pictures what he was,
And this is what he’s going to do:
While this is what he does:
Then there's the dry goods salesman’s bore,
A female, by the way.
Who on her rounds from store to store
Is sure to go each day.
She lingers longest ‘opening days,”
And the salesman’s patience tries,
For here’s the goods which he di
h he di
And here is what she buys:
The iceman is vexatious, too,
And doesn’t care a pin
Our comforts to enlarge upon,
Our sympathies to win.
And though we're forced to bow to him,
Respect him, we cannot.
For leaving this much ice-cold days:
And this much when it’s hot:

A STRAY.
The red rays of the setting sun length-
ened the shadows against the black, dead-
ened hills, as the workmen swarmed out
of the pit and dragged weary. stiffened
limbs along the different paths leading
to the habitations above. Very grotesque
some of them were, with blackened faces,
from which eyes gazed out with the
weary pathos one sees in the eyes of
oxen, with bent figures and stooped
i shoulders from werk in rooms where the
roof was often
not four feet from the
floor, where water lay in pools and bred
rheumatism in joints, warmed by the sun
all too seldom.
The motley nature of the mining vil-
lage was shown by the different dialects
| in which the conversations are carried on,
the broad slurred intonation of the En-
glish miner: the round, rollicking tones
with the note of a caress in it that is
native to the land St. Patrick loved: the
soft, decided voice of Scotland, and, as a
background for this flotsam and jetsam
that is drifted to us by the ocean, was
heard the sharp, slightly nasal voice of
the native of our Middle States.
But different as was their nationality.
their minds seemed to run much in the
same groove. ‘There was some dissatis-
faction with the record of the day’s work,
and menaces ominous io the managers
were exchanged with curses and clench-
ing of black, hardened hands.
Fragments of their conversation came
to a woman standing atthe top of the
rickety steps leading up the face of the
cliff above the mines. Back of her was
a row of bare, unpainted houses where
the workmen lived; some of the women
were about the doors, slouchy and dis-
hevelled, calling out to one another and
to the children in coarse, shrill voices,
with now and then a laugh and a joke
with the home-coming workmen. Only
the woman at the steps stood alone silent.
A few nodded to her, only one man spoke
to her in passing, while many looked at
her in a way that made her face flush and
her teeth set. She was handsomer than
anything they ever saw about the pit’s
mouth, but the husbands, sons, and
lovers knew better than to greet her be-
fore the eyes of their women folks. Four
years ago she had learned that and ig-
nored them, men and women, ever since,
only she could not but see the glances
that needed no interpretation to bring a
flush to her brown cheek and a cold stare
of bravado into her gray eyes.
The one man whospoke to her was not
a good sight tolook at. He had partially
washed the coal dust from his face at the
tank by the pit—enough to show deep,
blue sears furrowed in his face by a blast
of powder.
“Good evenin’ to ye, Kate,’’ he said,
as he reached the level where she stood.
*‘Here is the lad; ye’d better watch him
about these steps, it’s a bad place for
little chaps,’? as he swung from his
shoulder a sturdy little yellow-haired
boy of four years.
“I ain’t scared.’’ he announced, with a
isp. “I want Dan to carry me, carry
me up.”’
‘‘What’s the matter down there,’’
asked Kate, with a nod toward the pit.
‘Something wrong?”’
“Oh, yes; same old story, some o’ the
men docked a half a car because a wee
bit o’ slate happened in, an’ the new cars
are short weight they say. The men
won’t put up with much more, an’ some
o’ them are maken ugly threats.”’
*“‘Who do they threaten?”’
‘‘Mighty near all the officials, the new
overseer, young Hepburn, in particular.”
‘*Why so?’’
“They think he might appeal for them
to the company to have the rules changed
about the weight measurements. But

say:

fOr her; an shes more learn-
in’ than most folks here though she
only a stray.’’
The girl walked on to her own door
and sat down wearily on the wooden
step. while the child scampered after a
pet kitten.
A stray! That was all. Four years
since she came first, a big-eyed girl of
seventeen, dusty and foot sore from long
travel—from where, they never knew—
and when she sank fainting on a door
step and was carried inside the one
tavern in the place, there was much
wonder among the people as to who she
could be; and when the doctor laid her
child in her arms and asked if there was
any word he could send for her to hus-
band or relatives, she only looked at the
babe’s pink fiower-like face in a half
curious, half loving way, as if in doubt
whether it could be hers, and then, draw-
ing it close, she looked squarely at the
doctor, and said: ‘*There is no one.”’
In asmall place gossip soon spreads,
and ere Jong the community knew that
the tramp was a mother but no wife—a
thing to be shunned by the virtuous—to
be pitied, after a fashion. but to be left
alone. She was penniless and without
friends. The doctor’s voice was the only
kind one she had heard since the day the
child was born, and he looked on her
pityingly, perhaps helped to it by the
memory of a little daughter's grave over
the hill, whose occupant would have been
this girl’s age had she lived. A sober
man of forty years he was, a kindly,
Christian gentleman who had settled
among them years ago, when the wife
and baby daughter had dropped into their
eternal sleep while on a visit to this
mountain of the Alleghanies. He was
held in much respect by the people.
His kindly hands had eased many a
broken bone or crushed limb among
them, and he did what he could to soften
the harsh judgment of the villagers to-
wards this girl, and his best was little.
Two weeks after her coming he ven-
tured on the subject of her destination
and intentions. So far she had said
nothing except her name, and when
asked, she said, ‘‘Kate,’’ that was all.
The doctor found her as usual looking
with unseeing eyes across the hills,
seemingly heedless of the yellow-haired,
brown-eyed babe in her lap, for she had
been in a sort of apathy ever since its
birth.
“IT have come to have a talk with you,
Kate,’’ said the doctor. ‘This little fel-
low is old enough now for you to take
him home, wherever that is, and I have
come to see what arrangements can be
made.’’
*‘T have no home now,”’
a little break in her voice.
‘“*But there must be some one. Come
now, my girl, tell me what you can. I
want to be your friend. You need one,
Heaven knows. There must be some
one—the boy’s father?’’
‘‘He is nothing—nothing to me or to it
—the coward!’ she burst out, with more
feeting than he had heard her express
before.
“But you must have some one to take
care of you! How are you to live?’’
“I did not want to live. They should
have let me die in the street that day;
they had no right to touch me!’
‘‘Hush!’’? said Dr. Hepburn, sternly.
*-We should never question the decrees
of heaven. Every life has a use of its
own else it would not be given.”’
She laughed harshly: ‘Use! What
use is my life now, the life of a nameless
outeast?”’
‘“‘You have your child to live for.”’
‘““Ah!’ she breathed, with a half sob in
her throat, ‘‘do you think I[ have not

as he walked on to the company board-
ing house.

I seemed to feel the presence of forms

I can’t tell you how terrible it was. The
only way to escape it was to die—both of

I did not think how I was to do it, only
in some way I was to end our lives. Ah!

“You must think of your future. Hi

“Dwill i ean work.’
‘‘But where, and what at?”’
-‘Here; it is as good a place as any

these people. The people seem buried

Swered. “L-—Fll try to fix it. but is 4
dreary place, child, and a dreary life for
you here.’
“My life would be that anywhere, it
does not matter.’’
And so it was settled. Sewing, house-
work, nursing, washing, anything in the
way of work she did well, and did cheap-
ly for anyone who would give her the
chance, but she made no triends and re-
sented all overtures from the curious.
They knew no more of her past now than
they did the day she came among them.
Kate was the only name they knew her
by. Her boy she called Paul.

grace cannot hurt him.’’
The boy grew and thrived, but it was
almost as quiet as the mother, for it had
no playmates—only a kitten and a few
ehickens. The mothers of other child-
ren resented the silence, so like pride in
this tramp, and ealled the children to
their sides when the baby natures would
reach hands to each other all unknowing
the social gulf between them. Even her
kindness to the sick won her no hearts,
for she did all so coldly though so well.
Their sidelong, meaning glances when
she first met their faces with her child in
her arms had closed forever any sympa-
thy between them. The child she wor-
shiped. Her moody, gray eyes would
warm and the closed mouth smile only
for him, and once, when a fever among
the children had laid little Paul low, the
doctor was startled by the wild grief of
this girl who seldom spoke among them.
**Be quiet, Kate.’’ he said, putting her
in a chair, *‘you must not give way like
this, the chances are that he will recover,
but should he not, we must bow to that
higher Will; be sure what will be, will
be for the best.”’
“The best!’ and she laughed, bitterly.
“If he were to die to-night, you would
try to console me by saying it was best.
Don’t you know that this is a punishment
for that other time when I did not want
him? Andnow just when we have grown
to be everything to each other you tell
me itis amerciful God who would part
us! People should love nothing if they
wish to be happy, it brings a curse
always. How can you understand?
others have husbands. homes, children.
I have only him—only him!’ and she
sank beside the little bed in a passion of
sobs that were stilled only by a narcotic
from the doctor’s hand.
But little Paul did not die, though the
doctor was anxious for many days and
very thankful when he could safely say
all danger was past. Kate did not say
much, it was as if she feared to give
voice to her joy lest the pent up emotions
would be beyond her control. But her
glad eyes, as she kissed her boy and
pressed the doctor’s hand, held in them
more gratitude thsn words could express.
‘**You have done so much for me,’’ she
said, ‘‘and my life is so useless, all I can
do in return seems so little!’’
“Tut, tut! If it were my boy Hal, you
would do as mueh if you could; bea
good girl, that is all I shall expect in pay-
ment, and in your gratitude for your boy,
return thanks only where they are due
to the Giver of all life!”’

The Proposed Salt Trust.
The price of salt dropped to 52 cents
last week. President Burt says it is due
to competition at home and abroad. Ow-
ing to the Kansas manufacturers’ compe-
tition. the Michigan people were forced
to meet it in the Southwest. and there
are twenty-three manufacturers in the
State outside of the Association who have
been putting their product into the best
territory, and a decline was the result.
The only thing that will prevent the
| price going still lower will be the forma-
tion of the North American Salt Com-
pauy (Limited). It is believed that this
will be accomplished, although the own-
ers of some plants are asking more for
them than they were willing to accept
before the syndicate was talked of. Itis
understood, however, that the options of
plants obtained aggregate less than $15,-
000,000, much less, in fact, than was ex-
pected. In the event of the formation of
the North American Salt Company, the
main office will be located in New York,
and it is understood that W. R. Burt will
be the President and Manager of the
trust.

How It Seems to the Customer.
Although the power to see ourselves as
others see us is so often invoked, there
has never been a case where it was
granted. But one of the contributors to
Stoves and Hardware has detailed his
experience with clerks im a very sug-
gestive. if ungrammatical, manner:
There’s two different kind of folks that
Iain’t got no use for. One is the kind
that slobbers all over you, as if you’d
just been elected president of the United
States, and they was after a post-office.
Them kind of fellows always want to
sel] me something I don’t want, and
don’t never seem to have just what I do
want, but they’ve always got something
just a little better for lessmoney. When
I get to dealing with them, somehow or
other I can’t help putting my hand in my
pocket and keeping a tight hold of my
pocket-book. Then the other kind
the fellows that’s too stuck up to talk to
you. When you go into their place they
look at you as if to say, ‘‘Well. I wonder
what in the world you want?’ and it
takes them, so long to make up their
minds what it is, that you get tired of
waiting before they’ve got it through
their weary brains what you’re after. I
got most of our stuff from one house that
was not like either one of them kind of
chaps. When Eliza Jane and me walked
in, some one came toward us, as asked us
what we wished, and when I told him
who we were, he shook hands with us in
a good old-fashioned way, just like we
was acquainted, and told us to set down
fora minute. Then he hunted up an-
other chap, and introduced us to him,
and told him what we was after. Now,
this fellow was business all over. It
didn’t take him long to find out just
what we wanted, and he done it, too,
without working his proboscis up toward
his eyebrows, or giving us an emetic.
He done the business in such a nice,
smooth, cheerful kind of style, without
any frills about it, that it done me good
to deal with him. Now, I don’t know
that everyoneis like me. I don’t like
taiiy. and when I want a thing I want it,
and net someihing else, and that chap
secetncd to know it. He had the whole
bus:iess at his fingers’ ends, knew where
everything was. and what the price was,
Witheui saying it was way below cost,
either. and he dien’t keep telling me all
the time thai inis, that and the other
thing wax just what would sell in my
neighborhood, but let me have a little
say about that myself, for which I am
very much obliged to him. After we'd
got through with what was on my list he
showed me some new things, and I took
some of them, too, but he didn’t coax me
to, but let me judge for myself. In fact,
he treated me as if I’d come in there for
something, and knew just what it was,
and his business was to get it for me,
and not like as if I was a greenhorn, and
didn’t know nothing. Now, there’s one
thing I’m ready to bet on, and that is if
I want any more goods and send to that
i house to get them, PH get just what I
isend for, and not some cheap, job lot
| stuff, and be told they’re a good deal bet-
i terthan theother. When we got through
| he told us where to go to get some things
| they didn’t keep, and bid us good bye,
is
again sometime.

The Hardware Drummers’ Funny Grips.
Not long ago a drummer for a hard-
ware house started out. He was a giant
in strength. He had two strong grips or
hand-bags made, and in each he put up
iron samples weighing about 185 pounds.
He would alight froma train with his
two innocent looking grips, and the hotel
porter would make arush for him.
“Right this way for the Hardcase
House. Carry the grips up to the hotel,
boss?”’
“Yes,”? Smith would say—his name
was Smith. He would then hand the
two grips to that porter, and let go as
soon as he saw the unsuspecting victim
had hold of them. There would be a
wild flourish of feet, a loud crash, and
the porter would go down as if he had
been shot.
“What are you throwing my
around in that manner for?’? Smith wou
yell, as if mad.
The porter would jump up, thinking
he had stumbled, apologize, and make a
grab at the grips. Then he would pull
away until his suspender straps would
break. and would say- **B-b-boss, what
are these things? I can’t lift ’em.”’
Smith would take hold of them lightly,
gently lift them up and say: ‘Oh! well,
if you don’t want to carry them [ll go to
the other hotel.”
Then calling another porter, he would
give them to him. Of course, the other
fellow would take hold of them with a
smile and firm grip, only to go down on
the platform in defeat - with a thump.
Then he would rise, look at the yrip,
gaze at Smith a while, then leave. mut-
tering something about voodovism. Smith
would then throw them into a wagon
and ge up to a hotel.
At the door he would
and as he pushed his way through the
erowd he would hard them to the poor,
overworked boy, and the crowd would
be astonished to see him go down with
those grips. the fall making a noise that
sounded like a freight train wreck and
shook the house. Smith would pick
them up himself, and remark to the land-
lord that it was ashame to overwork
his help in any such manner, and he
would then walk toward the register,
and the landlord would then rush up to
him and say:
“Why, them
give me your
take them.
Of course, Smith’s remarks attracted
all eyes, and as the landlord got a good
hold of the handles Smith would let go
suddenly. The spectators would be
astonished to see the landlord’s back suu-
denly hump itself like acat ona back
fence, his eyes bulge out like marbles on
amud wall, and then see him fall full
length between those grips with a crash
that brought people out across the way.
He would get up slowly, rub his back
walk around the grips and then go and
swear, as Smith would take them up and
put them on the counter.
Then the fun would begin.
grabbed one of them to set it off the
counter and it wouldn’t move. He looked
astonished, and then spit on his hands
and tried to lift it, as his face turned red
and knots swelled upon his forhead. But
that grip wouldn’t move. Then all the
crowd would try their hand, and finally
swear it was some trick. Smith would
lift it off gently and ask them what ailed
them. This weuld make the crowd feel
his arms, and they found he had muscles
like rocks for hardness. Then it dawned
on them that Smith had heavy grips for
a sell, and they were correct.

A BRASS BUTTON.
She told him that men were false,
That love was a dreadful bore,
As they danced to the Nanon waltz,
On the slippery ballroom floor.
He said that her woman’s face,
The crown of her shining hair,
Her subtle feminine grace,
Were haunting him everywhere.
He told her his orders had come
To march with the dawn of day:
A soldier must ‘‘follow the drum:”
No choice but to mount and away.
A sudden tremor of fear
Her rallying laughter smote,
As he gave her a souvenir,
A buiton from off his coat.
He went to the distant war,
And fought as a man should do:
But she forgot him afar,
In the passion for something new.
His trinket, among the rest,
She wore at her dainty throat;
But a bullet had pierced his breast
Where the button was off his coat.

Where the Old Moons Go To.
An old letter contains the following
retort of an American, which is worthy of
Lincoln’s famous reply to the boast that
the sun never sets on British soil,
‘‘Because,”’ he said, ‘God won't trust an
nglishman in the dark.’”? Two English-
men were disputing about the moon, one
it was an inhabited element,
the other contending with him: a Yankee
standing by attended to their discourse
and replied with confidence: ‘‘It is not.”’

with a look
of disdain, said: ‘‘How do you know,

what became of old moons, in

Electrical Clock.
An electrical alarm attachment has
been devised that can be applied to
ordinary clocks. The hands can be set at
any given five minutes of each hour. No
winding is necessary; simply turning a
switch allows the circuit to be completed
at the time the alarm is to ring: and the
ringing does not stop until the current
is switched off. The device is compact,
the battery being enclosed in the clock
case.

From the Buffalo Express.
‘Doctor, just an instant,’’ exclaimed
a caller at the office of a physician as he
eaught sight of the physician disappear-
ing in his private office. ‘‘’l] see you
shortly, sir,’? was the curt reply, ‘But
a second is all I want,’’ persisted the
caller. ‘‘I’ll see you directly, sir,’’ with
sternness. The visitor took a seat in
the general reception room, read the
afternoon paper through. looked at the
pictures, played with the dog, and took
anap. After thirty minutes or more had
passed, the medicine man came out of
his den, and with an air of condescension
said to the visitor: ‘‘Well, now, my
man, I am at your service. Your turn
has come. What can I do for you?’’
‘**Oh, nothing in particular,’? was the
reply. ‘I just dropped in to tell you
that your neighbor’s three cows have es-
caped from the barn and are having a
picnic in your garden and _ back-yard
flower-beds.”’

‘“‘Wal, I dropped the dime right in front

That unit of humanjty that the lament-

generally diversified wherever mankind
congregates. Probably the majority of
his species belongs to the uneducated,
uncultured and but
nevertheless he may be, in most respects,
ignorant classes,
the exact reverse of this. with nothing to
mark him as an unpleasant. peculiar and
annoying specimen of the genus homo
but an unfortunate. and apparently in-
eurable, inability to analyze and reason,

I am not going to argue the point for a
moment, whether we have a moral right
to label people. whom nature has de-
prived of certain reasoning faculties, as
bores and nuisances. I am afraid that
the most of us are too fallible to endeavor
to willingly distinguish between those
whom nature rendered ‘‘obtoos,’’? and
those who apparently cultivate the habit
of making themselves disagreeable and
offensive to their fellow men.

Among the many instances of obtuse-
neas, which I have noticed, as connected
with business matters, was the case, a
few years ago, of one W——. a wealthy
and prosperous farmer, but one, unfor-
tunately, ‘‘slower’n molasses’? when the
adjustment of his indebtedness was
brought into question. I had an old,
and somewhat heavy account against
him, which after an absurd and exasper-
ating delay, I succeeded in getting into
an interest bearing note, upon the under-
standing that the principal could run any
reasonable amount of time, and that I
would give him at least three months’
notice when I wanted the money. After
the expiration of over a year I ran across
Ww——’s note, one day, and saw that
some ten dollars interest had accrued
upon it, and at once dropped him notice,
calling his attention to the fact. In about
twenty-four hours’ time W came in,
and in a very excited manner, observed:
“Say! I thought *twas a bargain that
I should have three months’ notice, when
you wanted that note paid?”’
“So it was!’ I replied.
“Then what do you say ‘please attend
to the matter at once’ fur?’’
“T mean that I want the last year’s
interest, not the principal.’’
“Great Cesar! You don’t expect
int’rest on that note, do you?’’
‘Why, most certainly.”’
“Well, ’m blessed if that ’aint cheek!
Int’rest on a store bill! Wd like to see
you k’ lect it?’’
‘“‘That’s what I propose to do,’’ said I,
getting a trifle wrathy.
‘Just let me know when you git it!’
yelled W——. as he went out slamming
the door.
I sued him at once, but this thorough-
bred ‘‘obtoos’’ persisted in investing $10
in an ignorant pettifogger, and about $9
in costs besides, and, after judgment was
rendered against him, he paid up the
principal, interest and costs in full. re-
marking that he wanted to be ‘‘shut’’ of
ad—d robber that was mean enough to
charge interest on store accounts.
your
An individual recently went into-a
drug store in my neighborhood, and,
throwing down a dollar, called for a bot-
tle of a certain patent medicine, which
was given him.
“Ts it genuine?’’ he inquired.
‘*Warranted genuine!’’ replied
proprietor.
‘“‘And’ll do just what they say it will?”
*T couldn’t say about that. It has a
large sale, and always appears to give
very good satisfaction.’’
‘What's it made of ?”’
“TI really don’t know! It’s a secret
preparation,’’ and nobody knows but the
manufacturers.’’
‘“What’s it taste like?’’
‘IT couldn’t say. I never tasted it.’’
‘“Well, here, give me back that dol-
lar,’’ said the customer, with evident
disgust, ‘‘Wen I buy goods I want to
buy ’em of folks that knows what
they’re sellin’ an’ has confidence enough
in their truck to warrant it.’’
A man with a two gallon jug came
into the same establishment, the other
day, and had a couple of gallons of lin-
seed oil put up. Upon its being de-
livered to him he laid $1.10 on the
counter and started towards the door.
‘‘Here!’’ said the drug man, ‘‘that oil
is $1.40!’
“Why, I paid you $1.10 for the jug
full last year!’’
“Yes, but oil has advanced very ma-
terially the past few months.”’
“Well, if you can’t take what I offer
you, youcan pour it back. I like to
deal with folks that ’aint always dodgin’
the
e on prices!’’
I once had a party walk into my store, | Crockery & Glassware
and, throwing down a_ miscellaneous
collection of hair, wire and wood,
mixed together, remark:
“Say! That brush that I gave youa)
dollar for, last week, wasn’t worth acuss.
Just look at it 1’ |
‘““What have you been doing to it ?”’
‘Nothin’! Only soakin’ it to keep the)
hairs from fallin’ out!’
“How'd you soak it ?”’
‘Why, [put it in a pan
an’ poured |
bilin’? water on it. an’ let it soak all |
night !’
And this individual felt deeply ag-
srieved and outrageously plundered be-
cause I wouldn’t pay him back his dollar. |
A woman of my locality, and one of |
considerable wealth and social intinence,
once bought a bill of paper hangings of |
and, when the workmen |
had completed her work, she carefully |
packed up every piece of the debris of |
the job and brought them back to the}
seller, and cooly requested him to credit |
her with ‘‘their pro rata value.”’ |
Some years ago a wealthy, well edu-|
eated and prominent farmer came into |
my place of business and, after a little
a local dealer,
preliminary conversation, remarked:
“JT want to make a little bargain with
you. Iam going to work at once put-
ting up a large house and a couple of
big barns, and I want to paint the work
as fast as it is put up. Now I shall
want acouple of barrels of oil, about
400 lbs of the best white lead, a barrel
of yenetian red and about ten boxes of
window glass, to commence with. Now
what I propose is this. I want you to
sell me these articles at wholesaler’s
prices. adding freight of course, and
your profit in the transaction will come
from the colored paints, varnishes, dry-
ers, graining colors, and the hundred
little odds and ends that the workmen
will want before the jobs are finished.”’
I readily assented to the proposition,
and he paid me a hundred dollars on
account and departed.
In afew days the goods were at the
depot. .and I notified my customer, who
at once came down, paid the frieght,
and then came into the store, and settled
the bill from the jobber’s invoices.
In about three or four days my cus-
tomer drove up to the store with six or
eight boxes of glass in his wagon. Com-
ing in he said:
‘“‘About one-quarter of that glass I
bought of you is broken, and the linseed
oil is short about four gallons in meas-
ure. Tve brought the glass back for
you to look at, and when you adjust the
damages satisfactorially we'll talk about
further business.”’
There was no earthly use in trying to
explain that the breakage was a matter
belonging to the shipper or transporta-
tion company, and that linseed oil was
always sold by weight instead of meas-
ure, and though I, very foolishly, paid
back a portion of his alleged loss, I never
sold him a cent’s worth of goods after-
wards, and besides this he made it a
matter of business to bring my ‘‘tricki-
ness and dishonesty’’ to the notice of all
his neighbors and acquaintances.
And such instances of obtuseness—
but, in many cases, undoubtedly mixed
with ‘‘cussedness’? — could be indefin-
ately supplemented by every trader of
observation and experience.

The Condition of Trade.
¥rom the New York Shipping List.
Increased activity in speculative |
trading in produce, a steady money mar-
ket and moderate, distributive movement
of merchandise, has characterized the |
course of commercial affairs during the |
past three days, with the tendency of ,
values generally upward. The crop sit- |
uation has stimulated the wheat market, |
a bull movement, which received its in- |
spiration from Chicago, having been
based upon less favorable accounts of
the outlook for spring wheat, but the
fluctuations have been feverish and ir-
regular, and indicate that the market is |
highly sensitive and quick to respond to |
bearish as well as bullish influences.
The harvesting of winter- wheat has
already commence? and is. therefore, be- |
yond the reach of serious damage, while
up to within a short period, the condition |
of spring wheat has been so exception- |
ally favorable that its yield cannot be |
seriously curtailed by the unfavorable |
weather recently reported, the result of |
which may have been exagerated for |
speculative purposes. As already pointed |
out in these columns. the progress of the
crops during the next few weeks is the |
most potent factor in the commercial sit- |
uation. and it is almost literally true that
a very large proportion of the trade of |
the country is awaiting the result with |
anxious expectation. An abundant}
yield of all agricultural products and |
+he obteining of remunerative prices. is |
the toundation stone of an active fall}
trade. and this is the formulative period
for the development of these significant |
and controlling features of the future
outlook. After giving due consideration, |
to the Jess favorable indications |
}
|
|

OT
however.
that are given in some localities, the}
general crop outlook must be considered |
encouraging with the promise of a yield
that in comparison with last year will
rove abundant. and be marketed at rela- |
ively higher prices than
uring the season now drawing to a close.
The stock market has reflected a more |
buoyant feeling, and the belief prevails |
that Western rate disturbances will be
ultimately arranged in a way not to dis-
the president’s agreement. The
money market continues easy, and the
July disbursement which will amount to
about seventy millions is expected to|
recruit the resources of the
were obtained |
rin?
banks and |
materially increase the supply of funds}
available for all purposes. Foreign ex-|
change continues firm, and accordingly
jarge gold exports continue, but thus far
without causing any disturbance in finan-
eial affairs. The distributive movement
ot general trade has been of moderate
proportions, and a quiet feeling has pre-
vailed. as is usually the case at this sea- |
son of the year. The movement of dry |
goods has been light, especially with im-
porters and commission men. There has
been only a limited demand for staple
cotton fabrics. while dark prints and
ginghains, also fall dress goods have been
in fair request by buyers on the spot and |
through the medium of orders, while |
printed challies and sateens continue in |
steady demand. Men’s wear wool- |
ens, quiet, but flannels and blankets
im fair request. The iron and
steel industries continue to reflect an
improved feeling, and the demand for |
both crude and finished material is
slowly expanding. and while the buying
is in no instance active. the steady ab-
sorption of pig iron and increasing or-
ders coming to the foundries and mills
is strengthening confidence in the future,
and establishing the belief in higher
prices. The tendency for steel rails is
decidedly upward, and #28 is being de-
manded for forward deliveries. The
feature of the grocery trade has been the
fluctuations of the coffee market. The
sharp decline early in the week has been
followed by a moderate reaction, and
operators on the bull side claim that
liquidation by long holders has been
completed, but the distributive move-
ment dees not improve, and the country
appears to be of opinion that prices are
still too high in view of the available and
prospective supply. Large jobbers and
yuasters are pretty well stocked, while
the retail outlet is slow. Raw sugar is
firmly held at prices above buyers
views, the small lots that are occasionly
effered for sale being eagerly bought up
at the prices last paid. The demand for
refined has slackened, but only because
dealers are waiting to distribute the
large supplies recently purchased.
The metal market is generally quiet,
with tin lower, in sympathy with the de-
cline in London; copper steady, with the
pool prices maintained, and lead stiffer
in expectation of a favorable Treasury
ruling on the Mexican ore question. There
has been a fair demand for anthracite
coal, but dealers say that the absorption
of supplies has not been sufficient to war-
rant an advance of prices on the first of
July.

Mamma (to Johnny, age five)—Johnny,
I don’t want you to play with that Gup-

his companionship will do you no credit.
Johnny—But, mamma, you don’t seem
to remember that we shall be men one of
these days. I shall probably go into
business, and Bill will be a mighty good
customer, he’l] always be so reckless
about money matters, you know. Of

Soft sugars advanced ge last Friday
and hard sugars sustained a similar
movement on Monday. Coffee is weaker,
package goods having declined another

but is firmer and higher in Chicago.
Gallon apples area little firmer. Corn
syrups are firmer.

‘rn these days of sharp cempetition the
merchant must not only sell the best
goods. buy close and turn over his stock
rapidly, but he must employ salesmen
who will draw custom by their own per-

ready to oblige, dress neatly, and are
prompt to attend to the wants of those
upon whom depend the mercbant’s finan-
cial success.

Care of the Soda Fountain.
From the New England Druggist.
To most pharmacists, during the sum-
mer months when the presc = busi-
ness slacks up a little and trade is more
or less transient. with people traveling
in search of recreation the soda fountain
is a source of profit, withal the irksome
labor needed to ensure success. In ad-
dition to the profit derived from the sale
of the soda, it is undeniable that it draws
QUININE AND DEMENTIA.
The One Invites the Other and Horrors
Follow.
From the Detroit Journa
A party of men, including a doctor,
vere in Swan’s recently, and when all
had ordered, one asked for the quinine
bottle which is now found in every bar-
room. He spooned out 12 grains or more,
mixed it withsyrup and water. and drank
it without a pucker.
“There you go again,”’
“Can’t you quit that habit ?
whisky every trip.’’
‘J know it.’? said the young man, ‘‘but
for 10 years [ have taken the stuff, and I
actually crave it just as you crave a
smoke or a drink. It stimulates me
longer and better than liquor and does
not make me drunk, nor does it destroy
the mucous membrance of my stomach.”
“You think so, but time will tell you
differently. Your stomach may not suf-
fer, but God help your brain and your
nerves,’’ said the doctor.
The conversation became general and
the physician held that the quinine habit
was growing to be more general than the
use of opium or morphine and was in
time more dangerous than either because
its action was more insidious and it was
said the doctor.
Better take
taken in larger doses. The young man
was asked his experience. By this time
the drug had taken effect and he began
to talk with animation. There was a
sparkle in his eyes, an eloquence in his

myself. Women who use morphia soon
show it, and they generally use liquor
with it. Butif jealous of their beauty,
they prefer quinine, which certainly
purifies the blood and drives away pim-
ples and blotches. It increases the growth
and softness of their hair and makes
them brilliant in conversation. And
then, a woman, whose life is not so active
as that of busy, nervous men, is not so
dangerously affected by it. More than
that, her peculiar glandular construction
protects her from its physical ravages
Nor is the simple quinine alone to blame,
but the sulphuric acid employed in its
preparation is bound to de compose the
albumen and colored corpuscles of the
blood just the same as nicotine, alcohol
and other toxics.
“But is there no good in the drug?’
was the query.
“Of course, for, besides being good for
malarial complaints, it is a moderate an-
tidote for the liquor habit, almost a case,
however, of similia similibus curantur.
In small doses it isa valuable tonic, in
moderate doses a stimulant. in large
doses a potent sedative. You would
appreciate all. I have said if you could
have seen a victim die as I did some time
ago. His disease was consumption, but
he had been a quinine user for three
years. When dying he suffered the tor-
tures of amartyr. No bodily pain, but,
as he described it, his mental paroxysms
were terrible. Every thought of his life,
every face he had known, every word he

borhood who dared to do it would in-|
evitably be ruined, as the public would |
say that the doctor knew that the drug-|
gist was the better man, as, in fact, he,
sometimes is, and was in consequence |
afraid of him.”’
‘But doctors often dispense their own;
medicines don’t they, and so take busi-
ness out of the druggists’ hands?’’
“They do, and though some are legally |
entitled to do so, there are many more
who are not. It is after all, a case of tit!
for tat, and I don’t think that the drug-
gist is very greatly to be blamed.”’
“But druggists do not receive any
strictly medical training, do they?
“No, but by the constant dispensing of
medicines they get hold of certain for-

them according to theii |

‘Well, that is a matter of opinion. |

the less need to do it, as he can charge

but on she ran, with the one thought up-
permost in her heart—his safety, his life
depended on her speed. Oh, how slowly
the road moved under her feet!, But she
could tell that, despite her load, she was
gaining on her pursuers. Their voices
grew fainter. She gained the hilltop
above the mines. There was still a half-
mile of road to cover. She could see the
groups of men around the pit’s mouth.
Oh, how far away it seemed! Could she
ever reach it? Her breath came in short
gasps: her head was filled with a buzzing
that was maddening: she could not tell
if it was the murmur of far-off voices or
only the rush of riotous blood in herown
veins. Perhaps she was too late! She
tried to ery out to the people below. Oh,
were they blind that they could not see
her? She reached the straggling village
street. Down its length she ran, a wild
figure with streaming hair, and the fright-
ened child clasped close in her arms.
Women and children scattered in terror
as she passed. Nothing but amad woman
could ever look like that. Down among
the crowd she sped. heedless of out-
stretched hands of men to stop her, heed-
words of question, on, on,
until she dropped, blind and dizzy. at the
pits mouth.
so. while rough, kindly hands lifted the
sereaming child. Then she staggered to
her feet.
‘Doctor
*“Where—”’
**He has just gone down the shaft with
visitors. What's the matter?’ It
was the sear-faced man. Dan. who an-
swered her, holding the child in his arms.
““Quick!’’’ she gasped. “The eage!
Take me down it. It is life or death.”’
--Ajl right. Get in. Do your quickest,”’
he said to the engineer.
“1 1] ado it, Dan,” Said the man, turn-
ing into the engine room. ‘‘Good God!
What's this?’’
‘““What?’’ came from a dozen throats.
‘The ropes are cut with acid. Look
here. It is not three minutes since Lleft
the engine. Something is up. The cage
tan’t work’
A thrill of horror went over the crowd.
Clearly the plot was not a general one.
All were sullen and dissatisfied, but only
a few had been in the horrible conspir-
acy. To the woman’s senses was carried
the thought. *‘too late!’ when some one
mear her said:
‘Well. the stairs are left.’’
“The stairs!’ She had not thought of
less of their
Hepburn!’ she gasped.
the
that. ‘‘Where are they?’’ she asked.
--Here,’’ answered aman standing near
the black-looking aperture.
She turned swiftly to Dan. **Be good
to my boy.’ she said, and, kissing the
ehild, she turned, before they were
rightly aware of her intention, and
plunged into the depths of the narrow
stairway. From landing to landing she
staggered, feeling her way as best she
could in the intense blackness. falling, at
times. against the slimy, oozing walls,
straining her eyes in hopes of a gleam of
lamps. Down, down, down! Oh, would
she ever get to the bottom? Her breath
was going, a dizziness was coming to her.
She tried to stand erect, but she stum-
bled gropingly against the wall. and felt
a strange weakness growing onher. Oh,
to fight it off until she could reach him!
to silence for one moment that drip. drip.
drip she heard from the roof—could hear
growing into a roaring torrent, nearer
and nearer it came. Another step and it
would engulf her. Down she staggered,
her whole remaining strength collected
in a wild scream as those black, phantom-
like waves closed around her.
A party of men, just entering a car at
the main entry, stopped, appalled at that
shriek. They looked at one another in
questioning amazement.
‘Is the mine haunted?” asked one of
the visitors. ‘‘That certainly sounded
like nothing earthly.”’
“Come,’’ said young Hepburn, picking
up alamp; ‘‘there is something wrong.
That sounded from the stairs. Come,
uncle!’
And. there, in the bend of the stairs,
they found her. Five steps more would
have brought herin sight of the lamps
she had struggled so to reach. Blackened
and wet from the dripping walls, she lay
unconscious, and from her lips trickled a
red stream that formed a pool on the black
floor.
**This is serious, gentlemen. A broken
bloodvessel,’’ said the doctor, bending
over her. ‘‘Hall, ring the bell for the
cage. Wemust get her above ground at
once!”’
The bell was rung, but no answer re-
turned. The wire had beencut. Young
Hepburn looked grave. *‘There is some-
thing wrong, seriously wrong, here. We
must return by the stairs.’? While he
spoke they heard the voices of men, who
had followed Kate with lights, and in
another minute the two parties of men
met in the narrow passage, with ques-
tioning wonder in their faces and the
blackened, blood-stained form between
them. In afew minutes the cutting of
the wires was told, and the men slowly
carried the unconscious form up the drip-
ping stairs, followed by the party of vis-
itors, who said little, but felt, in a vague
way, that some danger and mystery were
in the air.
Up into the light of day they carried
her, while the people stood about awe-
struck and fearful. They wiped the black
from the still face, and watched eagerly
the faint signs of life struggling back,
until the heavy lids quivered and opened
to see Dr. Hepburn bending over her. A
gasp for breath, and then she whispered:
““You safe? Iiwas in time.’’
‘In time! What do you mean?’’
ry
“The nitro-glycerine—on the track by
—entry number nine. My life kas been
some use—at last. Call Jim Mason.’’
The doctor repeated the name, and a
man from the crowd came forward, his
face white, and his mind sobered by the
unexpected turn of the plot hatched in
the brains of a few drunken, desperate
men.
‘‘Jim,’’ she gasped, ‘I heard all. Once
you said you owed me a debt. ray i
now.”’
The sight of her face, with death in it,
brought him to his knees beside her,
while great tears stood on his rough
cheeks.

‘‘Promise no harm to the mines, they

“J swear it by the memory of me
mother! I’1] do no more such dirty work!’’
She tried to raise the hand nearest to
him, but the arm was powerless—broken
by the fal]. She struggled for breath,
but could not speak further. A work-
man told lowly of her bursting among
them saying it meant life or death to
reach them. The visitors crowded near
to see the face of this woman now that
the black from the walls had been wiped
from her features. Among the rest was
a tall, handsome man of about thirty
years, with blonde hair and brown eyes,
who leaned over to gain sight of her. As
he did so his face was one of horror, as
he ejaculated: ‘Kate!’
Dr. Hepburn glanced up quickly. ‘*You
know her?’’ he asked.
-J? Why. no—that is—’’
‘“‘Hush! She is trying to speak.”’
That ery of ‘Kate’? seemed to have
reached her. The grey eyes opened once
more. *‘How long have 1 to live?’ she
whispered.
‘Not an hour. Kate, my poor
there anything I can do for you?’’
She looked assent. ‘‘My boy.”? They
brought the little fellow, and she tried to
look around as if for some one else.
*-What is it?’’ asked the doctor.
‘The voice—that said—Kate.”’
-She wants to see you.’? And he made
way for the tall gentleman, whose eyes
and hair were the color of little Paul’s.
He came and stood silent beside her. his
face very pale. She looked at him long,
then turned her eves to Hepburn, and
whispered: ‘“‘“My boy is mine—none
other’s—all mine. Will you take him?
Teach him to forget—the shame—his
mother. He has no name—’’
‘He shall have mine, my poor girl.
Don’t fret about his-future. He shall be
as my son.”’
‘“‘Your—son.’’? And she tried to smile.
“That is best—your name. Ihave none
—you hear?’’—and her eyes turned to the
tall, pale gentleman—‘‘no name—only
Kate—ever—you hear?”’’
‘‘T hear,’’ he said, in a low voice.
**Go—where I can’t see you—outof my
sight.”> And as he stepped back the
doctor held the child up to kiss her. 9 <>—_____—_-
A Jewel of a Clerk.
A New York dry goods house recently
advertised for aclerk who understood
shorthand and typewriting. to whom they
would pay the munificent sum of $4 per
week. The advertisement happened to
fall under the eye of amember of Ply-
mouth Church, answered it as fol-
lows:
“Gentlemen: In answer to your adver-
tisement of this date for a youth familiar
with shorthand and typewriter to assist
with correspondence, salary $4 per week,
I would say that I know a youth who, be-
sides these qualifications, possesses a
critical knowledge of six modern lan-
guages, as well as drawing, painting,
architecture. telegraphy (land and sub-
marine), can play asnare drum, teach
roller skating, isa promising light-weight
scrapper, in religion a strict Calvinist, in
deportment a Chesterfield, and is seldom
in liquor.
‘This lad is anxious to work for your
firm for $3 per week, for the reason (as
he asserts) that in case you should fail at
any time to pay him, he will not lose so
much; so he will not accept your too lib-
eral offer of four dollars.
*‘T have suggested to him that in case
he should accept this latter and larger
sum, the possession of so large a sum of
money every week might prove a tempta-
tion for people to rob him, and perhaps
lead him into dissipated ways.
‘In this he concurs with me. He is
perfectly willing to scrub out the store,
hustle building material around the yard,
lick postage stamps and run on errands,
when not engaged in shorthand writing.
as he believes these to form a part of the
stenographer’s duties.
*‘Should he come, will vou please dis-
charge your janitor and one teamster,
and allow him to fill their places in his
leisure hours? He would like this.
‘“‘Meet me at the entrance of Calvary
Cemetery at 12 o’clock to-night, and I
will introduce you to this youth, when
you can tie a rope around his neck and
drag him to your place of business.’’

reakfast Cocoa
Is absolutely pure
and it is soluble.
= To increase the solubility of
; yr the powdered cocoa, various expe-
= dients are employed, most of them
being based upon the action of some alkali, potash, soda or
even ammonia. Cocoa which has been prepared by one of
these chemical processes can usually be recognized at once
by the distinct alkaline reaction of the infusion in water.
W. Baker & Co.’s Breakfast Cocoa
is manufactured from the first stage to the last by perfect
mechanical processes, no Chemical being used in
its preparation. By one of the most ingenious of these
mechanical processes the greatest degree of fineness is
secured without the sacrifice of the attractive and beautiful
red color which is characteristic of an absolutely pure and
natural cocoa.
