A '/V.'.l DE IX RIDDLES Nine persons sailed from Raslo down the Rhino. A Jew who wished to go to Selilainpi. was allowed to conic 011 Board nndjouniey with tliom on condition that Uo would conduct himself with propriety, and fiive the captain eighteen kreut'/.ers for his passage.

Now it is true, something jingled in the Jew's pocket wlien he struck his hand against it, but the only money

there

was a twelve-kreutzer pieeo, for the other was a brass button. Notwithstanding this he accepted IheolVer with gratitude, for ho thought to himself "Something may be earned even upon the water, there is many a man has grown eh upon the Rhine."

During the first of the voyago the passengers were very talkative and merry and the Jew, with his wallet under his arm, for lie did not lav it aside, was an object of much mirth and mockery.

Hut as the vessel sailed onward, and passed Thuringen and St. Velt, the passengers. one after another, grew si out, and gaped and gazed listlessly down the river, until one cried: "Come, Jew, do you know any pastime that will amuse us? Your fathers must hive contrived many a one during their journey in the wilderness." "Now it is thetinu'," thought the Jew, to shear my sheep and lie proposed that they should sit around in a circle, and he, with theirpennissions, would sit with them. Those who could not answer the questions should pay the 0110 who propounded them a twolvc-kreu-t?.er piece.

This 'tproiosal pleased the company nnd hoping to divert themselves with the Jew's wit or stupidity, each one asked at random whatever ehaneed to enter his head.

Thus for example, the tirst asked: "How many soft-lxjiled eggs could tho giant (toliah eat on an empt stomach

All said it was impossible to answer that question, and each paid the twelve krentzers.

Hut the Jew said. "One for

has eaten an egg can not put a second upon an empty stomach," and the others paid him twelve kreutisors.

The second thought, "Wait, Jew, I will trv vou out of the Now Test mont, and 1 flunk I shall win my piece. Why did the Apostle Paul write the Second Epistle to Corinthians?"

The Jew said. "Because he was not in •Corinth, otherwise he would have spoken to them." So ho won another twelvekrvutrer piece.

When the thin! saw the Jew so well versed in the Rible, he tried him in a different way: "Who prolongs his work to as great length as possible, and completes it in time?" "The rope-maker, if he is industrious said the Jew.

In the mean time they drew near to a, village, and one said to another, "That is Hamlaeh." Then the fourth asked, "In what month do the people of liamlach *»at the least?"

TKPRP-HATTTE

Tlio Jew said, "In Febuary, for it only has twenty-eight days.', The fifth said, "Thero ro two natural brothers, and still but one of thom is my uncle."

The Jew said, "Tho uncle is your father's brothbr, and your father is not your uncle."

A fish now leaped out of tho water, and a sixth asked, What fish have their eves nearest together

The Jew said, The smallest." The seventh asked, How can a man ride from Basle to Berne in the shade, in the summer time, when tho sun shines?"

The Jew said, When he comes to a place where there is no shade, he must dismount and go on foot."

Tho eighth asked, "When a man rides in the winter time from Borne to Basle, and has forgotten his gloves, how must he manage so that his hands shall not freeze?"

The Jew said, Ho must makes fists out of them." The ninth was the last. This one asked, IIow can five persons divide live eggs so that each man shall receive one, and still one remain in the dish?"

The Jew said, The last must take the dish with an egg, and he can let it lie there as long as I10 pleases."

But now it came his turn, and ho determined to make a good sweep. After many preliminary compliments, he asked, with an air of mischievous friendliness How can a man fry two trout in three pans, so that a trout may lie in each pan?"

No ono could answer this, and one after the othergavehim a twelve-kreut-zer piece.

But when the ninth desired that ho should solve the riddle, he rocked to and fro, shrugged his shoulders, and rolled his eyes."

When tho others heard these words, they opened their eyes, and said this was scarcely according to tho agreement. But as they could not control their laughter, and were wealthy and ?ood naturcd men, and as tho Jew had iclped them to while away tho time from St. Yelt to Schlampi, they let it pass and tho Jew took with him from the vessel—l't a good arithmetician reckon up for 1110 how much the Jew carried home with him. He had nine twelve-kreutzer pieces by his answers, nine with his own riddle, ono he paid, back, and eighteen kroutzers ho gave to tho captain.

The one price system as adopted by this house, works like a charm. There Is no over

no trying to niak.i an extra dime. The dealings at the New York Store are fair and square, and every attention is shown to all their patrons. It Is the constant duty of the proprietors to place before their customers any and all goods at the lowest rates and by charging the lowest per centage upon the cost of the goods, the customer receives the direct benefit of purchases made under the market value. It Is a well known fact that the New York Store has been offering unusual inducements to buyers since it was opened. The recent heavy declines in all kinds of dry goods, however, enables them to sell goods still cheaper, as their facilities for buying are unequaled.—Journal.
