Wasnixarox, D. C.—~Integrity and trick-
ery in business life form the subject of Dr.
Talmage’s sermon, and the contrast he
establishes between the two is a striking
one. The text is Proverbs xx., 14: “It is
naught, it is naught, saith the buyer, but
when he is gone his way then he boasteth,”
Palaces are not such prisons as the world
imagines. If you think that the only time
kings and queens come forth from the royal
gates is in procession and gorgeously at-
tended, you are mistaken. Incognito by
day or by night and clothed in citizen's ap-
parel or the dress of a working woman,
they come out and see the world as it is,
In no other way could King Solomon, the
author of my text, have known everything
that was going on. From mytext am sure

er. The merchant put a price on a coat,
and the customer begun to dicker and said:
“Absurd! That cont is not worth what you
ask for it. Why, just look at the coarse.
ness of the fabric! See that spot on the
collar! Besides that, it does not fit,
Twenty dollars for that? Why, it is not
worth more than $10. They have a better
article than thet for lower price down at
Clothem, Fitem & Bros. Besides that, I
don't want it at any price, Good morn-
jog.” *‘Hold!” rays the merchant. “Do
not go off in that way. I want to sell you
that coat. I have some paymentsto make,
and I want the money, Come, now, how
much will you give forthat coat?” “Well,”
says the customer, “I will split the differ.
You asked £20 and I sald 810, Now,
I wiil give you £15.” “Well,” says the
merchant, “it is a sacrifice, but tage
it at that price.”
Then the customer with a roll under his
arm started to go out and enter hisown
piace of business, and Solomon in disguise
followed him. He heard the customer as he
unrolled the coat say: ‘Boys, I have made
a great bargain. How much do you guess
I gave for that coat?” “Well,” EAYS one,
wishing to ecor.pliment his enterprise,
“you gave it.” Another says, “I
should think you got i* cheap if you gave
$25." “No,” says the buyer in triumph,

them. We cannot but admire an expert

But with what burning indignation we |
think of the iniquitous strategems by
which goods are sometimas disposed of, A
glance at the morning papers shows the
arrival at one of our hotels of a young
merchant from one of the Inland cities.
He is a comparative stranger in the great
city, and, of course, he must be shown
around, and it will be the duty of some of
our enterprising houses to escort him. He

magoanimity of caution against the dis-
honesty of other business houses of course
it is expected they wili—and so they do—

According to those wise men who
delight to remind us on every occasion
of man's lowly origin, varicose veins
are among the penalties we have to pay
for standing on our hind legs instead
of walking on all fours like the other
animals. It is chiefly, they say, toe
pressure of the very high column of
slood upon comparatively thin
walls of the veins that causes them to
become dilated “varicose.” There
are other that no

of this unpleasant affection. The veins
