Of this immense business of ours makes it necessary that we close out every dotllars worfh oj "Winter Merchandise. The weather has been unfavorable for heavy selling of -cold weather goods since the beginning of our Discount Sale and we think it advisable to offer some greater bargains while there is yet several weeks of cold weather time before tia, rather than run any risk of carrying over any of the stnff.

The Wonders of Smelling.
James Mitchell, who died in or about 1838, in the county of Narin, in Scotland, and was born blind on Nov. 11, 1796, reoognized, sayB The World of Wonders, different persons by smelling. The famous Mr. Boyle mentions a blind man at Utrecht who conld distinguish different metals by tho different odors, and Martials records the case of a person named Mamurra who conld tell by Bmelling whether copper wan true Corinthian or not. Indian travelers have recorded that certain natives who habitnally abstained from animal food have ft sense of smelling which is so exquisitely delicate that they can toll from which well a vefcsel of water has been obtained. It has been related that by smell alone tho negroes of the Antilles will detect the footsteps of a Frenchmen from those of a negro. Marce Marci has left an account of a monk at Prague who sould tell by smelling anything given to him who had last handled it. Tho guides who accompany travelers in the route from Aloppo to Babylon will toll by smelling the desert sand how near thoy are to the latter place.
Nature's Signs.
Diseases that aro readily communicated or transmitted show themselves in the face. Leprosy, epilopsy and various constitutional or blood diseases make their presence known most clearly and unmistakably. This is one of nature's methods for protecting the puro against the impure.
Wrinkled brows, sunken oyes, drooping lifelines, pale or sallow complexion, dullness of the eyes, breathing through the mouth, decay of teeth, offensiveness of tho breath, sunken cheeks, dark rings or puffy patches under the eyes, crooked or sunkon nose, month drawn to one side, watery eyes, red nose and many other face marks are each and everyone a sign of disease or defect.—Pittsburg Commercial-Gazette.
Disasters to Swallows.
Although swallows are such wonderfully quick sighted birds, and can change the direction of their flight with amazing rapidity and ease, it occasionally happens that they either do not perceive the danger lying in their path or aro not quick enough to avert it, for I have once or twice, while fly fishing for trout, accidentally knocked down and stunned a swallow. Several instances have also been recorded of the poor bird boing struck and killed by golf balls, and in one case at least even by a cricket ball.
Petrels and other sea birds have been known to collide while in midair and drop into passing boats. Wild ducks are occasionally picked up on board ships that have been lying at anchor all night in some of our large rivers and estuaries. They strike the rigging or funnels during their nocturnal flights, and as many as five were found one morning on the deck of a vessel lying at the mouth of the Thames.—Cornhill Magazine.
Ancient Hearts.
The transfer of Kosciusko's heart to the castle at Rapperswill, Switzerland, recalls many stories of the crusader!., who, dying in the Holy Land, Eent their hearts to friends at home. So afterward Sir Robert Peckbam died out of England in 1686, but his heart was not buried until 1669. Tho heart of John Baliol was embalmed by his widow's desire and inclosed in an ivory casket enameled with silver. And she, the loving Dovorgilla, placed this casket on her table every day at mealtime and ordered it put on her own heart when she was borne to tho tomb. Then there is the heart of the Bruce, dear to elocutionists and stump speakers. For strange tales about hearts see the "Lives of the Troubadours," and that dreadful story by Barbey D'Aurevilly, "At a Dinner of Atheists."—Boston Journal.
Young, Inexperienced and Rattled. A young typewriter had just been hired by a prominent lawyer. She hud never done regular work before, and was somewhat nervous.
Tho lawyer settled himself back in his chair and began dictating from mind brief. He had pegged away about five minutes when the girl stopped, with a horrified look on her face. "What's tho matter?" asked the lawyer. "Would you mind saying that all over again:" the girl asked, with eyes full of tears. "Why?" "I forgot to put any paper in the ma chine!"—Syracuse Post.
Personal Beauty.
If either man or woman would realize the full power of personal beauty, it must be by cherishing noble thoughts and hopes and purposes by having something to do and something to live for that is worthy of humanity, and which, by expanding the capacities of the soul, gives expansion and symmetry to tho body which contains it.—Uphum.
The Physical.
The morality of clean blood ought to bo one of the first lessons taught us by our pastors and teachers. The physical is the substratum of the spiritual, and this fact ought to give to the food we eat and the air we breathe a transcendent significance.—Tyndale.
Keal Merit.
Real merit of any kind cannot be long concealed. It will be discovered, and nothing can depreciate it but a man's exhibiting it himself. It may not always be rewarded an it ought, but it will always be known.—Chesterfield.
If a man
has any brains at all, let to his calling, and in the of things his turn will
him hold on grand sweep come at last.-—W.

How Tom Scott Bioeme Btah. An interesting story ia told by T. O. Cortis of Lowville, Columbia ootuity, •bout Tom Scott, the millionaire lumberman, who died some years ago. Mr. Curtis came to Wisconsin in the forties and engaged in hauling goods from Milwaukee to the pineries. While in Milwaukee he met a young man who had fallen into ill luck. He had a few land warrants, however, from which he hoped to realize a few hundred dollars. These warrants were given to Mr. Curtis to sell. He afterward disposed of thorn for several times the amount the young man had expected to receive for them.
In the meantime the young fellow had gone to New York city. The money was forwarded to him and reached him in a very opportune time, being the means of placing him in a position where ho became, later, tho head of one of the largest dry goods firms in the great metropolis.
Some years afterward Mr. Curtis vis
!ited
New York, where he was joyously reoeived and royally entertained by tho I merchant prince whom ho had "placed on his feet," as he himself expressed it,

These victims of disorders of mind and body would object to wearing a placard on their backs telling what ails them, yet are compelled to go about with the hideous truth writton in their faces where all may see it.
a few years before. Tom Scott at this time had a sort of store at "the Rapids," but his stock had so dwindled down that ho remarked to Curtis that he would have to do some hard scratching in order to obtain a now stock. Curtis, remembering his New York friend, signed a joint noto with Scott and obtained from the gentleman the desired goods. "That," says Mr. Curtis, "was Tom Scott's starter in life. "—Milwaukee Wisconsin.
Tlie Butcher and HU Customers. "What 're legs o' mutton selling for?" asked Griddleraok, entering the butcher's shop of Cleaves.
Cleaves looks about him cautiously and then whispers, "We're asking 14, but we'll let you have it for 13." "Come now," says Griddlerac'k,"none of your shinanigans. Yuu just sold a leg to Rabbage for 12£."
To this Cleaves promptly replies: "But not for such mutton as this. I oould sell you such mutton as I sold to Rabbage for 10 cents—if I bad any left." "Nonsense! I saw you when you cut it off, and I know it came off the same sheep that this did."
Cleaves—You're a sharp one, you are, Griddleraok. There's no getting the start o' you. And nobody wants to. Leastwise, I don't. Let me tell you the dead truth about it, Griddleraok. Rabbage'B leg did come off the same critter, and I did sell him for 12)£, but what's a fellow going to do? Rabbage is such a confoundedly close buyer, it's next to impossible to sell him. So when he came in just now I put the prioe way down, but be didn't get ahead of me so 'muoh as he thought he was going to. I cheated him on tho weight—see?
Griddlerack—Oh, that so? All right then I'll take that leg.—Boston Transcript.
A Knropean Ides.
One of the most characteristic features of European prisons as a whole is that prisoners are allowed to have a portion of their earnings. This system prevails |in Franc®, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Russia, Sweden, Denmark and other countries. The amount earned by the prisoners varies considerably where it depends upon piece work. In France the average salary of the prisoner is 35 cents a day. Of this amount the prisoner is
:allowed
to spend one-half while in pris
on for supplementary food and clothing, postage, etc., though no'expenditnre is made without the approval of the administration. The other half is reserved until the time of his discharge. A three years' prisoner has to his credit on leaving an average of $50, a four years' prisoner $70 and a five years' prisoner about $90.—Chicago Record.
Experimenting.
Some gentlemen, cruising round a part of the Irish coast, observing that about the same hour every day a boat containing two men and a woman took its passengers from the shore, and after a short time returned with them, inquired the reason. "My men," said one, "what makes you come out here every day? Is it that you like it so much?" "Oh, your honor, not at all, but, your honor, the wife and me's going soon to Australy, and so we're just practicing the saysicknesa, that we may be used to it when we start." "Well, and do you find yourselves improving?" "Ah, sure, your honor, tho wife's ill every day, butshe's getting on purtily!" —Strand Magazine.
First Sfght of a Railway Train. A country boy who was brought up in a remote region of Scotland had occasion to accompany his father to a village near which a branch line of railway passes. The morning after his arrival, when sauntering in the garden behind the house in wliioh they were staying, he beheld with wondering eyes a train go by. For a moment he stood staring at it with astonishment, and then, runining into the house, he said: "Fayther, fayther, come oot. There's a smiddy ran off wi' a row o' houses, an it's awa' doon by the buck o' the town."—London Telegraph.

A Story of Ransom*
The Washington Post tells a story il» lustrating the politeness of Minister Ransom. One day, when' he
wbb
in th*
senate, as he was going down the capital steps, he saw approaching a very dull, long winded man. Ransom was alarmed. He was in no mental or physical shape to bear the brunt of a full or us a at so in to a el A the dull one drew near, Ransom, in his desperation, greeted him with shortness and hurried by. The other had paused, but at this brief dismissal, a* it were, turned away up the steps. Ransom was smitten of conscience at his own rudeness. It was foreign to his polite and flowery instincts. He must do something to take the soreness oat of the man. Ransom turned pleasantly when some ten steps separated him from the bore and called out: ''Goodby, Simpkins! I've been thinking a mighty heap about you lately, Simpkins I" .. this Simpkins began to betray
6ymp-V
toms of returning. "But don't coma back, Simpkins," remonstrated RanBom, wildly motioning with both hands. "I've been thinking a mighty heap about you lately, Simpkins, but don't come back don't come back 1"
Conklinc and Tliurraan.
Senator Roscoe Conkliug was once addressing tlie senate in an impassioned manner and seemed to direct his remarks to Senator Thurman. At length the latter got, irritated. "Does the senator from New York,** he roared, "expect me tn answer hie. every time ho turns to nie?"
For a moment Mr. ing hesitut ed, and everybody cxp^cieo a leirihc explosion. Then with an air of cMjuititO courtesy he replied: "When I speak of the law, 1 turn to the senator from Ohio
as
the Mussulmau
turns toward Mecca. 1 turn to.him as I do to the Knglish common law as the world's mo!«t copious /onntain of banian jurisprudence.
The usually decorous senate broke into a storm of applause, and tho Thar' man eye moistened a little. It is ever a pleasure to be complimented, but to be complimented as a lawyer by Roscoe Conkliug—that was praise indeed. The two statesmen were the best of friends and greatly enjoyed oach other's society When "off duty. "—Baltimore American.
