I? A LITTLE DEAL.

.V "-QV

"Presents, clothes, honeymoon. How on earth can one leave out either?" asked George Littlecash of himself, earneetly drilling his penholder into a much

furrowed forehead. "There never was a wedding without presents. As for no I honeymoon—why, Hetty would be justified in crying off before the very altar."

What had placed our friend in this unpleasant quandary was, to begin with, :l Uncle Piper's check for £500. It was a Hj check to marry Hetty and set up house with, and qua cash was satisfactory enough, but accompanied with the wise avuncular injunction, "George, marry on a cash basis—cash, mind—or never look me in the face again." Such excellent advice, plus a £500 check, it is impossible for a nephew to spurn, especially a nephew in love.

And then, when he had this gold mine of untold wealth in his pocket and a full ocean of happiness to look forward to, George fell into the toils of a plausible fellow, Tom Scherer of the w^ll known city firm of Mouton, Scherer & Walker. Scherer had such a taking way of remembering and cherishing affectionately one Christian name. "Ah! Congratulate you, my dear George. Coming off next month, eh? Happy man! Some of you fellows have the devil's own luck. And just in time, too, for me to put you on to one of the nicest little chances of making a comfortable nest egg for the happy home, one of the prettiest chances you ever had. But come into Pipps' and have a coffee."

Pipps', that long, low, smoky "dive" in Throgmorton street, was crowded with easy mannered gentlemen in silk hats, or in no hats at all, who conversed in pairs and groups with electrical energy. They could not hear themselves for their own talking, "Sell at five three eight," "Book you thousand," "Buy six quarter," "Sell," "Buy," "Panjandrums," "Rhodes," "Barney's stock," "Struck Bibble bobble reef," "Last crushing ten ounces"—such were some of the scraps of jargon that emerged above the din in flashes of comparative silence, while over and anon a gentleman would draw from his vest pocket a little notebook and pencil some entry or other. Almost deafened at first by tho hubbub, George Littlecash was soon in the whirlpool himself, an eager listener to Mr. Scherer's glowing tales indicative of the pecuniary advantage certain to result from a small punt in the South African "boom." "Eighty thou' in one deal, my dear George—what d'ye think of that, eh? Springett went nap on Gold Bug Extensions—put an every penny he could scrape together till he hadn't a cent to swear by and came out 80,000 golden sovereigns to the good. And yet you say it isn't worth trying. My dear George, faint heart never maintained a fair lady, if it won her."

The upshot was that George figured up his liabilities against his check and handed over to tho trusty Scherer £250 to be converted in two days or some such reasonable time into £2,500.

Done!" cried Scherer as he penciled' tho little transaction in his notebook. And "done" George was, for next day when he looked at "Mines" in the money column he found Gold Bugs had crawled down stairs tliree-eighths.

What do you advise, Scherer?" asked George when they met in the city. "Never advise, my dear George. Don't do it—on principle. 'Cut your losses, let your profits run,.' is our old wheeze. But it's no good being too hasty. This fall is simply due to somebody boing in too big a hurry to pocket a profit But you judge for yourself, dear boy that's what I advise."

Next day Gold Bugs had crawled down stairs two or threo steps more. "It's nothing, George," said tho optimistic Scherer. "Weak holders couldn't last out That's my explanation. Still don't be guided by me."

Next day after that Gold Bugs had fallen so heavily that you couldn't find anybody to pick them up again at any price. And just then of course to make amends George Littlecash was reminded by his tailor of "that little account" which had been overlooked so many quarters. It was in this doleful hour as he sat savagely biting his lips, knitting his brows and inwardly cursing Scherer and all his works that he glancod vaguely at a copy of The Evening Intelligence. "Renewed Activity In Rand Shares" was the lino in large typo that caught the disconsolate investor's eye asythe paper lay on his desk. "Confound Rand shares!" he ejaculated fervently, wheeling around as though from a too affectionate snake.

Just then, as luck had it, in popped the beaming and expansive Scherer. "Why, George, my dear boy, you're looking as ghastly as James Canham Read when he was "taken from life,' as the waxworks bill says. Nothing serious, I hope? Gal chucked you?" "Look hear©, Scherer, I don't want yon blarneying again. I've had quito enough of Rand shares, thanks—in fact, a long site too much." "Rand shares? Why, my dear fellow," Scherer returned, with a look of pained virtue, "you really don't mean to tell me that's what put yon down in the dumps—that little matter of twofifty, when you stood to win as many thousands! Bless my soul!" Scherer's eye had just caught the line in The

A BABY 1 KNOW, Evening Intelligence. "Have yon

the paper tonight?" "No," replied George, vrhoee back was turned, "nor want to, I'm sick of the whole tiling. Yon knew, for I told yon, I couldn't riak anything under the circumstances unless it was absolutely certain." "And that's what you call 'risk?' "Oh, hangl I know it'® my own fault—only don't bother me with any more of these fine tales," "Now, I call this very unkind of yon. George," said Soberer, injured. "Ado indeed." And so saying Mr. Soberer cast an eye down the money column. When it reached "Gold Bugs," that particular eye flared np like a fusee. "Now, what should yon say if Gold Bugs went np again to eh?" "Rot!" "Right yon are, dear boy, 'Rot,' is it? Well, well, yon think I misled you abont that little deal, eh?" "Well, if you want plain speaking, Mr. Scherer, I thinlurou did." "And yon and I friends, George! This ia what comes of trying to do a man a good turn! Now, what do you say if I offer to take those shares off your bands again, since you're so cut up over 'em?" "At a shilling apiece, I suppose. Ha, ha!" "A shilling apiece? No, sir not at 'a shilling apiece.' I'll give you what you gave for 'em and

a shilling apiece'

over to soothe your injured feelings. What d'ye think of that?" js Mr. Soberer found his magnanimity so exhilarating that he drew himself up, threw open his coat and slipped George's Evening Intelligence into his own pocket. Co* 'i "You doubt "my boiiesty and my good faith, eh, my dear sir," he said, pulling out his checkbook and a roll of notes. Last week you paid me £250. If you will be so good as to hand me back the scrip, I shall have much pleasure in handing you my check for £362 10s., or perhaps," he added, with cutting sarcasm, "since you doubt my honesty you would prefer Bank of England notes?"

George, who had risen, half dazed, had just enough presence of mind to gasp in his astonishment: "If it's all the same to you, I should." "Certainly, my dear sir." "I'm only delighted to hand it back to yon," said George fervently as he passed over the scrip and received the crisp notes and gleaming gold in exchange. "And yet, strange to say," laughed Scherer, "I can assure you I'm no less delighted to take it back. Ha, ha, ha! Ha, ha, ha!" for some moments the cachination prevented speech. When Scherer found breath, he remarked to his bewildered friend: "My dear George, let me give you a word of advice—in fact, two words. Don't doubt your friend's honesty again, and when you hold.active shares keep a sharp eye on the papers. Ha, ha, ha!" "The papers?" echoed Littlecash. Why, no, I haven't seen tonight's paper yet," and he struck a bell.

"Yes, sir?" said the office boy. "Where's tonight's, evening paper, Tippetts?" "Ain't come in yet, sir." "Oh, yes, it hits,"" corrected Mr. Scherer, choking with laughter as he produced The Evening Intelligence. "I just—just meclianicallly picked it up for a moment myself."

Bat the office boy triumphed. "That's a hold one, sir. Tonight's ain't come in not yet, sir." "Not come in!" shrieked Scherer, turning to the date. "Why, good Lord! The paper's a month oldl"

Mr. Scherer's exclamations as he sank into George's chair were so shockingly profane that even the office boy turned pale and expected a flash of lightning.

George got his friend out of the office at last, but made a point of handing him back the odd £12 10—"to soothe his feelings." The wedding took place, and Uncle Piper will never know the particulars of George's first—and last— little adventure on the Stock Exchange. —St. James Budget v"

Moon'* Effect on Peas and Bean*. In the works of most old authors who have written on the subject of agriculture, or astrology as it is supposed to affect agriculture, frequent allusions are made to the influence of tjie moon on the growth of plants. In all these books the husbandman is especially cautioned to sow seed of a certain kind during the increase of the moon, and those of another kind during its decrease. Peas and beans wero accorded their share of this superstition, the careful gardener being especially admonished never to sow such crops during the period between new and full moon.

Sir Anthony Fitz Herbert says, "Take special care to sow your pease ia the •old' of the moon, 'cause then they will oodd better and be sooner ripe."

Thomas Tusser writes to the same effect when he says: Bow peas or beans in tho wane of the noon Who sowoth thorn noonor, ho aowrth too soon That they with the may rvst and rise, And flourish with 1* wring most plentiful wis©. —St Louis Republic.

It is impossible to deal, however lightly, with the personal qualities of Robert Louis Stevenson without dwelling on the extreme beauty of his character. In looking back over the 30 years in which I knew him I feel that, since he was eminently human, I ought to recall his faults, but I protest that I can remember none. Perhaps the nearest approach to a fault was a certain want of discretion always founded on a wish to make people understand each other, but not exactly according to wisdom, I recollect that be onoe embroiled me far a moment with John Addington Symonds in a manner altogether bloodthirsty and ridiculous, so that we both fell upon him andrended him, This little weakness is really the blackest crime I can lay to his charge,

And, on the other side, what courage, what love, what an indomitable spirit, what a melting pity! He had none of the sordid errors of the man who writes, no sick ambition, no envy of others, no exaggeration of the value of this ephemeral trick of scribbling. He was eager to help bis fellows, ready to take a second place, offended with great difficulty, perfectly appeased by the least show of repentance. Stevenson was the most exquisite English writer of his generation, but those who lived close to him are apt to think less of that than of the fact that he was the most unselfish and the most lovable of human beingp. —Edmund Gosse in Century.

Tibetan Monasteries.

Of all the wonders of the Tibetan religion none is so striking as the abundance of monasteries. These great assemblages of religious houses are full of monks, or lamas, and the marvels associated with them are truly surprising. Their number is amazing. They literally swarm in the inhabited portions of Tibet, and a traveler journeying through the country passes monastery after monastery in endless succession.

So numerous are they that Mr. Rockhill, the indefatigable American explorer of Tibet, tells that, while the population of eastern Tibet is but small, one-fifth oonsists of lamas. He also says that in his journey from Jyekundo, in Tibet, to Tachien-lu, on the frontier of China, a distanoe of 600 miles, he passed 86 large monasteries, five of which contained from 2,000 to 4,000 lamas. Many monasteries in other parts are equally large.

The great monastery of Kumbum, near the Lake Koko Nor, oontains 4,000 monks. Chiamdo, which is one of the chief towns in eastern Tibet and contains 12,000 inhabitants, seems to be half composed of a gigantic monastery, and Captain Bower, in his recent journey through Tibet, passed the large town of Riuchi, which seemed to him to be all monasteries. The wealth of some of these monasteries is astonishing.—All the Year Round.

*"Egjrs Are Cheap Today, A good trick was played on a Lancashire grocer not long ago by another in the same line of business. Having their shops almost opposite each other, competition ran high and each tried his best to beat the other in prices.

About the time the joke was perpetrated the market value of Irish eggs was about 23 for a shilling, but one of them, with his usual energy, displayed in largo letters on his window "Eggs 24 a shilling!"

The other, not to be outdone, sold them at 26, and this underselling kept on until one was wildly disposing of eggs at 40 a shilling.

Not until the latter had sold all his stock at a tremendous loss did he discover that the other had been sending a few friends by a circuitous route to his shop and was selling the eggs over again.—Liverpool Mercury. \-~ie j- A* A Book Warning.

Be careful what you write in your books, if you do not want your heirs or administrators to make unkind remarks about you. An old book chaser, just home from Chicago, relates an instance in which trouble was created by a man who thoughtlessly marked his collection of books in a peculiar manner.

He owned a large library, and as he had probably suffered from borrowers and purloin ers he stamped with indelible ink on the one hundredth page of every volume on his shelves, "Stolen from George E. Hord."

In due time death and the mutations of fortune brought this library to the hammer and the second hand shops, but, owing to the accusatory phrase on the one hundredth page of each book, they were sold with difficulty and brought almost no price whatever.—Louisville Courier-Journal.

Welsh Rabbit.

It was on June 8?, 1752, tlmi Lady Wadclcy of Clee-hall, near Ludlow, in Salop, began cutting anew set of teeth at the great age of 10S years. This reminds us of a singular dream told recently by an old subscriber. He saw, in sleep, an agreeable looking man cutting his finger nails with pocket scissors. After the agreeable looking man had accomplished dexterously this feat he smiled at the sleeper, and, to the tatter's amazement, began to trim his teeth neatly with the same instrument Can any one give an explanation of this night vision?

•••gf-mw OK W«W MU| ...... mfo common phrases, the old world sndTthe new world, have gained an application which would hardly have been given them had men known in the past what they know now^—that America is, geologically considered, probably the eldest of the continents and that man perhaps inhabited the western hemisphere as early as he did the eastern. In view of this fact it might not be amiss to suggest a different application of [•these phrases by giving to Asia the title of the old *world and to Europe and

America that of the new world, leaving the remaining sections of the earth to fit into the division to which they logically belong.

For Asia is the static realm of mankind Europe and America are the dynamic. Asia is at rest with the dead past Europe and America are pushing forward into the living future. Asia, in its political conditions, its religions, its learning and its literature, its science and industry, remains in close touob with the world of 8,000 years ago Europe and America in all these conditions have left the old world ages behind tbem and are building for themselves a new world vitally distinct fropi that of ancient days.—Lippipcott's.

Adulteration of Cinnamon. In "Notes on Cinnamon," contributed to the organ of the Society of Public Analysts by Dr. Bernard Dyer and Mr. J. F. H. Gilbard, appears the following: One of us was lately informed that a certain firm of confectioners abroad, who did a heavy trade in walnuts, which they used in various forms for confectionery, had a large sale for their walnut shells—in fact, that they sold them in London for more than they gave for the whole walnuts, the shells being used in adulterating ground cinnamon. The microscopic detection of powdered walnut shells in ground cinnamon is not difficult to a skilled observer, but an inexperienced microscopist might well be misled if he did not very carefully study both structures. The analytical chemists whose paper we quote have made analyses of cinnamon and ground walnut shells in order to provide data for the deteotion of this form of adulteration. —London News.

She Succeeded.

There is a rule at Smith college that no girl can go out driving with a young man unless he is her brother, her fiance or a near relation. Now, once upon a time, not many years ago, a young man went there to see a girl with whom he stood in none of these relations, although he wished to be in one of them. And like any sensible young fellow in such a pretty town he asked her to take a drive, having no knowledge of the bothersome rule. The girl said that she would just love to go, but she would have first to ask the president. "Is the young man your brother?'' inquired that functionary. "No," said the girL "Is he your cousin?" "No, "said the girl "Are you engaged?" "Not yet," the blushing maiden answered, 'but I think we will be when we come back, if you will only let me go!" And tradition says that the president relented and that the couple came home engaged.-— Utica Observer.

An Indignant Mother.

"Look here," said a lodger to his landlady, "your daughter has been using my comb and brush again!" "I beg your pardon," said the landlady indignantly. "I never allow my children to meddle with my lodgers' belongings in any way." "But I am sure she has been using them," said the lodger, "for there are long black hairs on them, and she is the only person with black hair in the house."

Oh, how I remember! She did have them to comb and brash our dear old poodle," 6aid the landlady, "but I am quite sure she did not use them for herself. She's too honest to be guilty of that sort of thing.''--New York Mercury.

Labored With the Cigar Store Dummy, There are people who, when they get an idea in their heads, keep it there forever. An old Portland lady has been talking against the tobacco habit for years and never loses an opportunity to impress upon unfortunates the folly of the habit She is a bit nearsighted, and she nearly convulsed lookers on yesterday when Bhe stopped in front of the odd little figure at the door of Fishes cigar store and began to argue with it about the harmfulness of smoking. The explosion came when, in her zeal, she reached out and tried to take the mock cigar away from him that she might throw it into the street Perhaps she is right, but she certainly is overzealous. —Portland Express.

Senator Teller's Mother's Batter. Senator Teller is one of that numerous class of men who are peculiarly fond of "mother's cooking." It happens that the senator's mother lives with him on his Colorado ranch and always superintends the butter making. The senator's wife ia ar excellent housekeeper, but sometimes things will go wrong in the kitchen, and on such occasions, it is said, Mrs. Teller passes the yellow dairy product to her husband aijf says brightly: "I'm sorry the dinner is not very good today, Hairy, but here at least is some if your mother's brAter."—New York Journal.
