TOM’S CHOICE.

We ha<l just finished breakfast. Tom laid down the egg-spoon he had been playing with, aud looked across at mother. “Aunt Anne, I think I’ll take a wife/' ho »aid, exactly an he might have said, “ I think I’ll take another cup of coffee.” “Take a wife?” repeated mother, by no means receiving the information as tranquilly an it had been given. “ What for?” “ WeH, I don’t know,” answered Tom, thoughtfully. “It’g a notion I’ve got in my head somehow.” “All nonsense I” said mother, sharply. “l)o you think ho?” said Tom, apparently doubtful, but not in the leant put out. “Think ho? I know it. What in the world can you want of a wife ? After all them; yearn we have lived so comfortably together, to bring home Homebody to turn the bonne upnide down ! And, then, what in to become of that poor chilli?” The “ poor child ” —that wan I—reddening at being brought into the argument in thin way, wan about to apeak for herself, when Tom interposed, warmly. “ I’m sure May known I would never have any wife that would make it lean a home for her—don’t yon, May ?” “Of course,” naid 1. “And I’m nure nhe known nothing of the nort,” pernmted mother, “nor you either, Tom Dean. How can you annwer for what a wife may take into her head to do, one® you get her fixed here? You can’t oxocct her to forget, oh you do, that May has no real claim on you.” “ That i have no real claim on her, I nuppone you mean, ma’am,” Tom put in for the we eon d time, just as I wan thoroughly uncomfortable. “ But, for all that, 1 intend to help her—that in,” added Tom, with one of )iis nhort nighted hlinkn nidewaynat me, “an long an nhe’ll ntay with me, eh, Mary ? And wlioevor ban anything to nay againnt that arrangement will have to go out of my house to nay it—not that I’m afraid of any nueli result in thin cane— and, on the whole, Aunt Anno, I nhould like to try the experiment.” Mother mailed grimly, but Tom wan ho evidently bent on bin “experiment,” an he called it, that nhe gave up the argument. •• you can dance if you are ready to pay the piper,” nhe said shortly. “ And prav, how noon do you mean to be married?” Toru’n face fell a little at thin question. “ Well,” naid he, “ I can’t Hay oxactly, I nuppone we will have to ho engaged llrnt.” “ What!” Haul mother, opening her eyen; “why, you never mean to say, Torn, you haven’t Hpoken to her yet?” “ Not yet,” answered Tom, cheerfully, “Time euongli for that, you know, after I had npoken to you.” “ Well,” hlic aaid, “if it was anybody else, I nhouhl Hay ho wan cracked ; but you were never like other people, and never will bo, Tom Dean. But, at leant, you have fixed on the lady?” “Oh, yen,” auHwercd Tom; “but if you will exciiHO mo, Aunt Anno, I would rather not Hay anything about her junt yet; for if -if anything nhould happen it wouldn’t bo pleasant for either party, yon know.” With which veiled all union to hin possible rejection, Tom took bin hat ami left the room. Our household wan rather quecrlyput together. There in no particular reason why I nhould have been of it at all, for I wan not really related to Tom, nor even to “ mother,” an I called her, though I am hu re we were an dear to each other aH any mother and daughter could lie. Hlie wan the Hoooud wife of my father, who, like mont minintern, had been richer in grace than iu goodn, and left un at hi« death with very little to live on. Then it was that Tom J)oun had come forward and insisted on giving a home to bin aunt and to mo, whom ho had Hcarcoly neon a dozen times iu luh life before. That wan exactly like Tom—“queer Tom Dean,” an Inn friends were fond of Haying, “ who never did anything like anybody cine.” I nuppone, in Hpito of bin clear head for business. there in no denying that he wan whirnnieal; hut I am wire, when I think of bin unfailing generosity and delicacy, I can’t help willing there were a few mere hucli whimsieal people in the world. Naturally, at the time I am speaking of, my opinion had not been asked; all I had to do was to go where mother went, anil, while sho gave hoi energies to the housekeeping, I give mine to growing up, which by this time I had pretty well accomplished. But perhapH for that very reason—for ono neon with different eyes at 12 and 18— my position in the liouho had already begun to Hoom unsatisfactory to me; and the moruing’H words put it in a clearer light, Hiuoe it had been used as au argument against Tout’s marrying. I knew that mother had spoken honestly, bolieving that such a step would not be for his happiness ; but was ho not the best judge of that? I knew him, if reflection should bring him round to her opinion, to bo perfectly capable of quietly sacrificing liis own wishes for my sako, who had not the shadow of a claim upon him ; so it must be my part to prevent his own kindness bomg turned against him now. Still, it was not so easy to see how I was to provide for myself in ease it should become advisable. What could Ido ? Draw and sing and plfy tolerably, but net in a manner to compete with the hosts that would be in the field against me. Literature ? I had road so many stories whose heroines, with a turn of tho pen, dashed into wealth and fame. That would be very nice, only—l was not the least bit literary ; I had nevor even kept a journal, which is saying a groat deal for a girl in her teens. Tho “ fine arts,” then, boing out of thequostion for mo, what remained? There was some clerkship, or a place in some family, and—and there was Will Broomlov! That zany seem Itko going away from tho poin 1, but it was not. I was mat-ter-of-faut, but I could see woll enough what was going on right under my eyes, and I hail a pretty clear idea of what wan bringing Will to the house so often an ho hud taken to coming lately. There was a “situation” then, that would give mo tho homo life I liked best and felt myself best suited for ; but—would it answer in other respeots? I overoast the long seam I was sewing twioe over, I was so busy trying to make up my mind whether I liked Will Broomley yell enough to pass my whole life witty

him; and even then I bad not come to any decision, when I was called down stain to Lettr Walters. Letty was the prettiest, I think, of all my friends, and certainly the liveliest. Tom called her “ the tonic,” and need to laugh heartily at her bright speeches. I suppose it was tins that made mother fix on Letty as his choice. When I came into the sitting-room I found a kind of cross-examination going on. It was smnsing to anybody in the secret, as I was, to watch mother’s artful way of continually bringing the conversation round, as if by chance, to bear on what she wanted to know. Bat it all amounted to nothing, either because Letty was a good fencer, or because she really had nothing to betray. But, when Tom came home, mother took care to mention that Letty had called. “ What, the tonic T said Tom. “ Too bad I missed.” “But for your choice being already made,” said mother, with a covert scrutiny of his face, “ I dare say you might have as much of tbe tonic as you liked.” “ But Igo cm the homeopathic principle, you know,” answered Tom, with a twinkle in his eye. After that mother’s belief in Letty’s guiltiness wavered. Her suspicions were transferred from one to another of our acquaintance, but always with the same unsatisfactory remit. “It passes my comprehension,” she said to me, despairingly, one day. “ I am positive I could tell the right one by Tom’s, face in a minute, and yet I have mentioned everybody we know.” “Perhaps it is somebody we don’t know,” I suggested; “some friend of his we have never seen.” “What! a perfect stranger?” said mother, sharply. “Never talk to me, child ; Tom’s not capable of that.” I was silent, for I did not want to worry her; but that was my opinion all the same. The same evening—it was rather more than a week since Tom had hurled that thunder-bolt of his at us—mother began about it openly. “When are you going to introduce your wife to us, Tom ? I suppose you have come to an understanding by this time. ” “ Oh, there's no hurry,” Tom Haul, as he had said before; but this time did not speak quite so cheerfully. “Tho fact is,” he continued, “ there—there’s a rival in the cane.” “A rival! ” repeated mother, with unfeeling briskness, “ Yes, a young fellow—younger by a good deal than I am,” and T«m’s faco assumed an absurdly doleful look. “Ho is always there now. I confess I don’t see my way clear; I’m waiting for her to make up her mind.” “ And she’s waiting, most likely, for you to make up yours,” said piother, forgetting, in her propensity to right matters, that she was playing the enemy ’s garme. “ There's 'Something in that that never occurred to me,” said Torti, his face brightening. Mother naw her mistake, and made a counter move at once. “But the ways of my time are oldfashioned now ; young ladies, nowadays, take matters into their own hands. If she cared for you, you may he pretty sure she wouldn’t have waited till this time to let you know it—that is, I judge by the girls I am in the habit of seeing ; but if this ono is a stranger to me—” (here mother riveted her eyes on Tom’s face ; oh, dear, my unfortunate words!) “if she is an entire stranger, I cannot pretend to form an opinion of her, of course.” “Of course,” repeated Tom, absently. “ Not that I have any such idea,” resumed mother, growing warmer; “I have said, and may say again, that to bring a perfect stranger under this roof, is not my opinion of you, Tom;” I felt mother’s words like so many pins and needles ; for Tom was looking meditatively at me, and, though that was just a way of his, it seemed now as if he were muling in my face that tho opinion was mine and that 1 had been meddling in what did not concern me. I felt myself, for very vexation, getting redder every moment, till it grew intolerable. “ It is so warm hero,” I said for an excuse, turning toward the French window. “I am going to got a breath of air. ” I went out into our little strip of garden ground ; Tom followed. 1 thought I should never have a better opportunity to say what I bad a miml to say, so I waited for him by tho bench under tho old pear tree. “Bit down here, Tom,” I said, “I have something to say to you.” “ Have you? ” said Tom ; “ that’s odd, for I—well, never mind that just yet. Wlmt is it, May ? ” “ Tom,” I said, still surer now he had misjudged me, and more resolved to set him right, “I want a place.”

“ A place ?” repeated Tom, puzzled, an well lie might lie by thin (million and indefinite announcement; “what kind of a place ? ” “ 1 don’t know," I Haul, for indeed my ideas were of the vaguest. “ I thought you might, being in tho way of those things. Now, pray, Tom,” Jf went on quickly, “don’t fancy 1 am discontented—or anything of that sort, Tho truth is, qver since l left off ifehoot I have wanted something to do, and had it in my mind to speak to you about it.” With this I looked at Tom, fearing ho might bo vexed ; but ho did not look vexed ; only preoccupied. “ I do know of a place, as it happens,” he said, after a while, “only I’m not sure how it would suit you.” “That’s soon scon,” said I. “What is it like?” “ Well, It’s a sort of—of general usefulness—" “ Why, it must bo run errands,” said f, laughing. “ And where is it, Tom ? ” “ Well,” said Tom, hesitating again, “ it’s with mo.” “ How very nice !’’ I exclaimed. “ How soon can I have it?” “Tho Booner tho hotter, so far as I am concerned,” said Tom, and with that he turned and looked at mo, and directly I met his oyos I knew somehow, all in a moment, what it was ho mouut; and I knew, too, both that I could not have passed all my life with Will Broom ley, and why I could not. I am sure Letty Walters, who interrupted us just then, must have thought my wits were wandering that ovening, and, indeed, they were ; for I was completely dazed with this sudden turn things had takon. But Tom, who had the advantage of me there, took it quite coolly, and laughed and talked with Letty just the same as ever till she went away. It was pretty late when wo wont in. Mother sat where we had left her, knitting in the twilight. “ Wasn’t that Letty Walters with you a while ago ?” she said, as we came in. “Yes,” said I, with a confused feeling of an explanation of something being necessary; “she just came to bring the neworoohet pattern she promised me.” “ H’m 1” said mother, os much as to say she had her own ideas as to what Letty oame for. Tom had been wandering about tho room in an absenl sort of fashion, taking up and putting down in tho wrong plaeos all the small objects thot fell in his way. He came up and took a seat by mother. I became of a sudden very busy with the plants in the window; for I knew he was gorng to tell her. “Wish me joy. Aunt Anne,” said lie: “it’s all settled.” “Settled, is it?” Haid mother, in anything but a joyful tone. “So it’s as I suspeoted all along. Well, you have my best wishes, Tom; perhaps you may be happy after all; I’m sure 1 hope so. TWh WWtt’t a very encouraging sort o|

congratulation, and Tom seemed rather taken aback by it “Fm sorry you are not pleased,” he m~iA after a p*"***. “I had an idea somehow yon would be.” «‘I did not know from what yon judged. Bat, there, it’s no use of crying over spflt Ton’ll be married directly, I presume. I moat be looking for a house,” and mother stroked her nose reflectively with a knitting-needle. “What for V said Tom. “I thought of keeping on here all the same.” “ I never suspected otherwise,” said mother. “Of coarse I did not expect to tarn yon oat of your own house.” “Bat what is the need looking oat for another, then?” “ Why, for myself.” “ Few jpurself ?” repeated Tom, in a tone of otter amazement. “Going to leave ns—just now ? Why, Aunt Anne, I never heard of such a thing.” “Now, Tom,” said mother, speaking very fast, and making her needle fly in concert, “we might as well come to an mutorKfamding at once on this subject. I am folly sensible of your past kindness —now just let me finish—l say I appreciate it, and have tried to d j my duty by yon in return, as I hope I should be always ready to do. I wish all good to yon and your wife, and shall be glad to help her if I can, but to live in the same house with her is what would turn out pleasant for neither one of ns, and, once for all, I can’t do it.” “Annt "Anne,” said Tom, poshing back his chair and staring in mother’s excited face, “either you or I must be out of our wits ”, , , „ “It’s not me, then, at any rate,” retorted mother, getting nettled. Amusement and a certain embarrassment had kept me a silent listener so far, but there was no standing this ; I tried to speak, but could not, for laughing. “ I think you are all out of your wns together,” said mother, turning sharply. “ What ails the child ? It’s no laughing matter.” “You don’t understand each other, I gasped; “ oh, dear! it’s not Letty—oh —oh, dear!” and relapsed again. “ Not Letty ?” repeated mother, turning to Tom. “ Then why did yon tell me so?” “ I never told you so,” said Tom. “Why, yes, you did,” persisted mother. “ You came in and told mo you were going to be married.” “ Yes, so I am,” said Tom, still at cross purposes. “ Now, Tom Dean,* said mother rising aud confronting him, “ what do you mean ? Who is going to lie your wife ?” “ Why, May, of course,” answered Tom. “May!” and then, after a pause of inexpressible astonishment, it was mother’s turn to laugh. “Do yon mean to say, Tom, it was that child you were thinking of all the while ?” “Why, who else could it be?” said Tom, sharply. “Well,” said mother, “I ought to have remembered you never did do anything like anybody else. But, still, why in the word do you go to work in such a roundabout way ? ” “ I wanted to see how you took to my idea,” said Tom. “ And how do you suppose we were to guess your idea meant May?” mother asked. “Who else could it be?” repeated Tom, falling back on what he evidently found unanswerable argument. It was no use talking to him. Mother gave it up with a shake of the head. “ And you won’t want another house then, Aunt Anne ?” said Tom, suddenly. That set mother off again ; Tom joined with her, and altogether I don’t think we ever passed a merrier evening than the one that made us acquainted with Torn’s wife.

A Hood Cup of Coffee.

Whether made in tho Eastern or. the Western method the precautions and most of the difficulties are the samo. The choice of the growth allows of latitude, as does tho choice of a vintage. The Turks prefer the Mocha and Martinique or Java mingled. It is indis-. peusable to roast your coffee, of whichever growth, and wise to get the best quality of its kind. The coffee growers follow an antiquated and barbarous method of preparation, stooping the berries in water until tho pulp is decomposed and rubs of! in a slimy mass, leaving tl.e berry naked. But the fermentation always damages the flavor of the coffee, and, if allowed to go too far, destroys it; so that many samples of coffee, apparently bright, mo already damaged. Ido not mention ground coffees, as these are anything but coffee—chicory, barley, bread crusts, any burned graminea, acorns, juniper cones, etc., enter in, aud 1 wan told last year at Kulumutu that the whole figeropof the Morea goon to Trieste to be turned into coffee. Coffue must be roasted slowly and evenly, kept in constant motion, till tho berry will crack crisply when pressed between thumb and finger. The Egyptian ntopn as soon as it will break anyway, but thin will have a Hlight tonto of the raw berry, which seems to mo a drawback. It should crack freely, but \ry no means crumble. Ninety-nine per cent, of tho people who roast their own coffee burn it and dentroy all its bent qualities. From this point Eastern and Western methods differ. Tho Turk lias slaves in pleuty and in no sparer of their labor. Ho ban his coffee pounded in a mortar to an impalpable powder (his imitators at Athens and elsewhoro fail here), and then a siHjouful of each cup is put into the ibrio, the water poured on hot, it is sot for a few seconds on the coal, not boiled, and is poured into the cup—if for himself without sugar, if for a Frank sweetened ; but X have always suspected that practices connected with Eastern politics had much to do with the exclusion of sugar, as enabling the drinker to detect certain doloterious agents sometimes introduced. Tho Western coffee-maker grinds the berry, and not too line, but the primitive ibric gives place to numerous contrivances, of which 1 have collected and tried many. For stupid housekeepers tho best is tho common Frenoh niter placed above the coffee-pot; for any one who has mechanical ingonuity enough to use it the balance cafetioro is the perfection of utensils and should always be placed like the samovar on tho tnblo. But in the hands of a fool it is unsafe. Coffee with milk—oafo au lait—comes not under gastronomy, but dietetics. It is a bilious article of food and better mado of chicory than coffee, as the latter is wastod when thus used. —Pall Mall Gazette.

Being Neighborly.

He was a small boy with dirt on his nose and a faded straw hat on his head, and feet so long unwashed that it was hard to tell where his toe-nails were located. He walked boldly up the steps, pulled the bell, and when the lady oame to the door he said : “ Say, can you lend ma your telephone for a few minits ?” “ Why, I can’t 1” she gasped out. “We’ll bring it back in half an hour.” “ But I can’t lend it, child. You don’t seem to know what a telephone is. Who are you?” “We live around the oorner—just movod in, and we want to be neighborly. I tried to borrow your wheelbarrow and shovel, but your boy wouldn’t lend 'em, and our hired girl has been over to borrow tea and sugar and couldn’t get any. We kinder thought we might borrow your telephone or something and ma would bring it bock and get a chance to see your style, and ask you to run right in with your old clothes on !”—Detroit Free Presft. In life it is difficult to say who do you most mischief, enemies with the worst intentions, or friend? wish the best,— Buliver Lytton,

BOGUS EYES, NOSES AID LEGS.

HmrLnxTlwrLJ! [From the Mew York Star.] “I think nobody wt>uld be 90 deceitful as to steal a $6 ef«4”§ The speaker was a well-dressed matron who had visited the office of a manufacturer of “ artificial, human ey& ” in Bleecker street, to inquire what Bad become of an eye which had been ordered for her single-eyed daughter and paid for in advance. The eye was discovered securely packed away in a little box, and the lady took the treasure away. The office presented a neat, business-like appearance. Over tiie mantel-piece the sign was conspicuously displayed: “A deposit required on all eyes or“I don’t want an eye myself,” observed the reporter to the dapper young man in charge, “but I have a few friends who have just come in from Dead wood city, and want not only eyes, but noses, ears and teeth. Think you could straighten them out ?” “ Did they bring any dust home ?” “ Loaded down. Money no object.” A pleasant smile flitted across the young man’s face at this cheering information. “ We can match your friend with eyes of any size or tint, at prices ranging from $6 to sls; and I can direct you to artists who will fit them with ears, noses, teeth, eyebrows, arms and legs, if they stand in need of them,” he added, confidentially. “ Are your eyes ready-made ?” “ We have a stock of 2,000 on hand, but tne sound eye can be matched more perfectly when wo take the order. They are made of the finest glass. Get the right fit, and there is no more trouble in putting in or taking oat an eye than in arranging your hat on your head.” “ How long will an eye last?” “With careful treatment it should last six months or longer, but the material is fragile, and unless handled very carefully it is liable to break. The secretions from tlie lids and lachrymal gland act upon the enamel and in time destroy the smoothness of its surface. The roughness thus created gives rise to irritation and inflammation of the lids, which, if allowed to run its course unchecked, will result in a condition in which it will be impossible to wear an artificial eye with comfort. It is advisable to remove the artificial eye before retiring for the night, and to wipe it carefully. Cleanliness does as much good to tbe artificial as the natural eye.” The house referred to is engaged in tho manufacture and Bale of artificial eyes, and is one of the many in the same vicinity. The business of importing eyes is confined to three houses. A representative of one of these said : “ We import the finest Frenchand German eyes; the former are more perfect and more expensive. We sell on an average about six eyes a week. We do no business in tlie domestic article. The weekly sales of imported eyes in this city amount to about eighteen, the average cost being $lO. We can match every size, form and color. These eyes are lost chiefly by accidents, which befall men, women and children alike, but it so happens that men are the principal victims.” “ Do you do any business in the nasal line ?” He answered this question by producing a number of photographs of men and women without noses, or whose nasal adornments were so small and stumpy that the appearance of tho wearers would be decidedly improved by their total absence. “Look on these pictures,” he said, “and on these.” The new set represented the same beings after being supplied with new patent noses, and the change produced was really wonderful. “In making a new nose,” he said, we ask for the photograph of the individual before the nose was broken or destroyed, and shape the new ono tp correspond with the original. When tho work is properly done it takes the closest scrutiny to detect tho work of tlie artist. Our artificial noses are made entirely of pure silver, and after being shaped they aro carefully tinted to corres[)ond with tho complexion of tho wearer. Such noses cost from $25 to $75, according to circumstances.” All artificial noses are not so expensive, many artists lining celluloid instead of silver. These noses are adjusted with patent suction springs. Ears and cheeks are made of the same material, and also of gutta-percha and aluminum. ComC; tent judges nay that there are in tho nited States fully 200,000 “made-up” men and women, whose teeth, cheeks, nones and ears require to be renewed at intervals. The most important industry connected with tho building up of wrecked human beings is that which provides new arms and legs. Accidents on railroads and disasters in war supply the principal nubjects for the manufacturer of artificial arms and legs. One firm lias a contract with tlie United States Government to supply maimed pensioners 100,000 sots of arms and legs every five years. In that period —except with the most careful treatment—the limb wears out and must bo replaced. Legs cost from $65 to $125 a pair, anil arms from $65 to SIOO. Certificates of physicians show that it is no uncommon tiling for men to walk fifteen miles a day on false legs without support, and to eat, write and play niusio with false arms.

The Wolf and Little Red Riding-Hood : A Modern Fable.

Little Red ltiding-liood, having made a Cake all by her own self, was sent by her proud and happy Mother to carry it to her Upon her way she encountered a Wolf, who, representing himself to thejprcdulotis Child as the old Lady’s Newfoundland Dog, so won upon her confidence that she disclosed to him tho Object of her Mission. “Then,” said tho crafty Wolf, “I will run on ahead and pull tho Bobbin that, tho Latch may go up.” The silly Child, being touched with Gratitude, accepted his services, and gave tho Animal a nice big piece of her Cake; aud tho Wolf perished miserably of indigestion beforo ho reached the old Dame’s Cottage, Little Red Riding-llood obtained a now Tippet and Muff from his Bkin, and was enabled to soothe her Grandmother’s declining Years witli Comforts purchased with the Bounty paid for his Scalp.

The Real Mission of the Piano.

A mystery has been solved. A citizen of the world has found out what is Hie purpose of the modern piano located in the modern parlor. To be played on ? What a stale and preposterous suggi stion. What superlative nonsense. The mission of tho piano is two fold; it is to impart dignity and stateliness to the household, but chiefly it is to afford a place for a young lady to ait, idi/ turning over tho leaves of the blackbird book while a young man hangs limply* over to whisper into her oar that j heHs f [rowing gradually winker, but still ives. There is no better place for a matrimonial blow on the hear). There is An ecstatic rapture in hangiug over a piatjo iu good form that no young woman can resist. It thrills, electrifies and oxitb iz-'s. Ten minives of such magnetic disturbance will thn- ulmdbt prejudice or objection, and twenty rafnntes equal to a wedding ring and marriage >ottlein,ent. 1f an ambitiousyou|g : woman cah secure the presence of a |ebelliitni* subject at tho piano, and hold him 4° has rambled through

the “ Maiden’s Prayer,” the supposition is largely is favor of the potency of the music-box and the triumph of the scheme. So that in either case the piano has come to be the potent matchmaker.—Chicago inter Ocean.

What the Cities Manufacture.

The census returns of manufactures in the twenty principal cities show rather curious results. New York, which, of course, is first on the list of manufactures, reports the product of 1880 at ♦448,000,000. Yet if one were put to guessing at the principal item in the list he would guess clothing among the last, and then he would be badly out. The manufacture of men’s clothing in the year exceeded $60,000,000, or nearly one-seventh of the whole; add to this $18,000,000 for women’s clothing—and we find that men’s and women’s clothing make up more than one-sixth the manufacturing of that busy city. Men’s clothing is also the principal item in Baltimore (|9,000,000). In Boston it is a tie with sugar ($16,000,000), and in Cincinnati it leads at $13,000,000, and it is third on the Philadelphia list at $lB,000,000. (The statement is made in round numbers.) Brooklyn leads in refined sugar and molasses at $59,000,000 followed by Philadelphia with $24,000,000, Jersey City $22,000,000 and Boston $16,000,000. In meat packing Chicago is first, with $85,000,000, the other cities badly distanced. New York, which follows away out of sight, packed $29,000,000, the others trail along—Jersey City with $18,000,000, Cincinnati $11,000,000, Brooklyn and St. Louis running together with $8,000,000, Boston and Philadelphia with $7,000,000, Milwaukee $6,000,000. Philadelphia has a long lead on woolen goods, of which it produced $21,000,000, that, next to sugar, being its chief industry.

Everybody knows that there is no service at the grave in Scotland, although the clergyman under whom the deceased “sat” is often, indeed usually, present. The hats of those in attendance may be taken oft the moment after they havo lowered the coffin into the grave just for an instant, but even this is not. always the case. This habit of dispensing with religious exercises had its origin, no doubt, in the Scotch horror of doing anything that might give a color to the charge of following the Roman Catholic fashion of praying for the dead. The reading of a chapter of the Bible and a short prayer in the bouse before the cortege sets out for the church-yard is the sole religious service, and the preliminaries to this are sometimes of a kind to raise the idea that cure is taken to disconnect it from the peculiar circumstances of the occasion. Twenty years ago I was at a funeral in the country at which the minister and his colleague of the church to which tho deceased belonged attended. After the company had assembled, some decanters of wine and a tray of cake were brought in and set upon the table. Tho daughter of tho deceased, herself a clergyman’s wife, then suggested that tho senior minister should ask a “blessing !” This request served as an excuse for a long prayer appropriate to tho circumstances of the occasion which had brought us togother, and after that was over cako and wine were handed round. Then a request was mode that tho junior clergyman should “return thanks,” and he readily enough indulged in a prayer, in which ho gathered up the fragments suitable to the circumstances which his colleague hod omitted, and that was the whole religious service—simply a grace befero and after meat.— Macmillan's Magazine.

The Law of Kindness.

It would bo a blessing and a kindness to poor, weak, nervous, debilitated, suffering humanity, if druggists would atop selling the many vtlo purgative pills and cathartic compounds advertised for the euro of liver complaint. Although they afford temporary relief, they weaken the digostive organs and compel a continued and increasing use of the same. Hufferers frjm dyspepsia and liver complaint do not need a cathartic but should use some true medicinal tonic that will strengthen the digestive organs and heal the diseased tissues of Iho stomach, liver and bowels. A preparation of Yoilow Dock, Sarsaparilla, Iron, Celery, lluclm and Oalisaya has proven very eftlcacioiiH as a permanent strongtbeuor of the digestive organs. These ingredients all ontor into the composition of Dr. Guysott’s Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla, a roniody highly reoommendod as a general health renewor. Ask your druggist to got it for you.

A Frenchman’s Notion of It.

A French gentleman recently from Paris was invited by one of our popular citizens to indulge in the ‘ * American custom ” at the Exchange, Richmond. Not knowing our “colloquial American’' well enough to call for a mixed drink, it was suggested that he take a “ brandy punch,” which he did. The next morning he called alone at the bar, and being asked by the polite young man who concocts cocktails what he would havo, and having forgotten the name of tho drink of yesterday, he replied: “I vill take one gfHnd contra-diccion, what you call it ? wis very much lemon for make him sour, very mnoh soogare for make him Bweet, plenty of brandy for make him strong, and a great deal of wasser for make him weak.” “ Oh, yes; 1 know,” returned the barkeeper; “you want a punoh?” “Yeez, sat ees eet; von punch.”— Richmond State. Mu. Oiiaulky B. Chamherh, of Xenia, 0.» writes : **l had many ailments. All the organa of my body were in a weakened state—lungs, liver, kidneys, heart, nerves, etc. I doctored for this and then for thar. I tried bitters, they failed.

THE ELIXIR OF YOUTH !

How Old Age Wa« Restored to Youthful Vigor. Geneva, Kane Co., 111., Sept 20, 1881. To the proprietors of Burdock Blood Bitters, Buffalo, N. Y. Gentlemen— l purchased a bottle of your Burdock Blood Bitters, and saw a i eq test to bo informed of its effects. I therefore give you a brief history of my case. I was taken four years since with paralysis, and my case was supposed to be hopeless. I employed a physician until I was able to sit up, when I concluded to manage my own case, as I was so far advanced in life it would only be possible to survive a short time, being now a little over 80 years of age. I tried many remedies, and, not w, Hist (Hiding tho persevering u-te of thorn, I found no permanent benefit until I used yonr Burdock Blood Bitters, which I found to suit my case exactly, and I feel rejoiced to have found a medicine of true worth and so full of life-giving principles. Its beneficial effects woro manifest from the first, and I now feel almost the vigor of youth again. This is my experience with your Burdock Blood Bitters, to tho merits of which I am very roady to give my testimony. Yours respectfully, D. 11. Howard. Bold by all Druggist p. A married woman said to her husband, “ Yon have never taken me to the cemetory." “ No, my dear,” replied he, “that is a pleasure I have yet in anticipation.” A New Principle. The principle upon which Putnam's Painless Corn Extractor acts is entirely now. It does not sink deep into tbo flesh, thereby producing soreness, but acts directly upon the external covering of the com, separates it from tho under layer, removes the direct pressuro from the part, and at once effects a radical cure, withdut any pain or discomfort. Let those who are suffering from corns, yet skeptical of treatmentt try it, and by ttie completeness of the cure they will bo roady to recommend Putnam’s Painless Corn Extractor to others. “ What a generous man Jones is.” said Smith to Itoliinson, one day. “True,” responded Robinson,' warmly. “ You rarely find one more sb.

I can now, though fil years of ago, do a fair and reasonable day’s worn.” Price, ■fl. To out ahead, go to tho butcher’s aud buy a call’s head. Of course, if you have one already, you needn’t go.

Rescued from the Grave.

“It Bounds like a good deal to wy. but I onoe knew a man who died and was buried'on the overland trail to California, and afterward made 'his appearance in the placer mines at Prickly Pear City—and it wasn’t his ghost either, but hiwmftlf in the flesh.” This was the reply which a well-known resident of Helena, Montana, made to a reporter who was applying the reminiscence extractor. “ In the spring of ’49,” continued the citizen, “ when the California gold excitement was at its height, in company with a large party, I crossed the plains. After getting well under way the cholera broke out among us and several died. Among other deaths was that of a man named W. H. Clark, of Henry county, Mo. We buried him near the point whore the old Santa Fe trail crossed the Arkansas river. We had no coffin, but wrapped him in his blankets, and, inclosing him in a covering of bark stripped from the cottonwood trees, we planted him about seven feet deep in the sand, and piled logs on the grave to keep the wolves from digging him np. The next morning we moved on. “I remained in California until’67, and was then attracted to Montana by the gold excitement. In 1868, while in the diggings at what is known as Montara City, I was startled at meeting Clark, whom, with my own eyes, I had seen buried on the Arkansas river nineteen years before. The recognition was mutual, and, on my expressing my surprise, he related to me that after our party had buried him and proceeded on toward California a party of Indians came along, and, seeing his new-made grave, dug him up for the sake of his blanket and clothing. As be showed signs of life they applied restoratives, and the result was that he was brought back to life and health. Ho lived among the Indians for years, and afterward came to Montana. At the time I mot him he was working for Jerry Embry. There is absolutely no doubt as to Clark’s identity, and ho is now living at Prescott, Arizona, I believe.” —Helena Independent. “The Charge of tho Heavy Brigado” wm about sl2 per month and rations for each man. — Picayune.
