SMART ME X.
Tho valuo of a reputation for smart
ncss is questionable A smart man is
often successful, for it is necessary, in
thoso keen competitive times, to be
snarp-wittcd, and to possess sound
business capabilities ; but though ho
may acquire tho wealth ho covets, he
Irequontly docs bo at tho Bacrilico of
his solf respect and tho estoem ol his
fellows. Tho word "smart," us we
Americans uso it, implies moro than
tho mere quality of briskness and pre
cision. If smart mon woro thoso who
by straightforward, honoBt dealing
builded up a fortuno and a fuir lame,
they would bo tho most desirablo of
this world's citizens ; but we imply by
tho term thoso selfish, unscrupulous
individuals who never hesituto to tuko
a mcun advantage in order to got tbo
best of a bargain, and who will seldom
hesitato at any trickery wheroby they
cun reucn a uesirea end. now olton
do we hear of a cruol and rascally ac
tion described as "smart," and how
olton is "a smart man" liltlo bettor
p r,..,llt ynl-.rno. . iMIiarl.
men know every wealc point in law,
and thoy are very curelul not to com
mit themselves to uny thing which
would render thorn amenable tojusticc;
yet thoy aro nono tho less blameworthy.
In this very carefulness consists much
ot their smartness.
A litllo while sineo an author sub
mitted to a London publishor a manu
script, with ft view to publication.
Tbe two were unublo to agreo as to
terms, and tho publisher relusod to re
turn the manuscripts. The author
threatened legal proceedings, where
upon tbo man of paper and of print
replied, "It yon tulK ot proceedings
and dumugos I'll send your manu
scripts to America and have the book
produced thuro, and then where will
tho valuo of your copyright be t" This
was, no doubt, an exceedingly smart
suggestion, and tbo law gave him pow
er to carry it out, but it would bo
difficult to approve of its honesty. A
theatrical managor, a low months ago,
accepted and producod play which
was praised by the critics, whoso ver
dict was confirmed by tbo public. Un
der an agreement, the author was to
rocoivo so much per night for tbo first
fifty nights and then a reduced nightly
sum altorwards. After tho first wook,
the managor heard that tbo author of
tho pioco was in ill-health and was re
lying on tho proceeds of this piece ; so
ho thought ho would do a smart thing.
11 o threatened to withdraw-the pioco
(although it was an acknowledged
succuss) unless the author would con
sent to tuko, from that timo lorward,
tho reduced nightly feo. In order to
put on further pressure ho detained
tho money due fiir tho performances
ol the past woek. Had thoro boon ft
sign of "bud business" the author
would have at onco .consonted, but
there was nono, and ho replied' that ho
must bold them to the agreement.
Tho matter was referred to a third
party, and tho would-ho smart mana
ger overstepped himself by admitting,
in correspondence, that he intended to
bring tho poor author to bis torms,
lor, wroto be, "ho is in hole ill, and
hard up." Vet thoro aro mon who
will pronounce this shameful proceed
ing as a very "smart movo on tho
part of ft manager. Tho cases cited
bore aro not imaginary: tbey aro
woll-known in literary circles and
have been constantly discussed. Hap
pily, in professional life such instances
aro raro, but in the commercial world
they aro of duily occurrence. Ilusi
ness, which is now givon np to an al
most incredible extent to speculative
gambling, causes smart men to carry
on theirsmart practices with impunity.
1 hey novor sluy to consider what ruin
they aro bringing on othors, ao long
us thoy carry their point. Their ar
gument is that they must livo, and, in
order to do so, they must be smart
and cannot alford to havo conscien
tious scruples. - lS'overthelesa thoro
aro commercial qualities that In tho
long run ure safer to trust to for the
successful issue of enterprises. It is
possible to make a profit without
cheating your neighbor out of his just
due ; and in tho end tho men who find
themselves rich rind respectable are
those who havo conducted thoir bnsi
n oss upon tho rules of justico and of

Many persons, especially ladies, nro
great sufferers Irom thut form of nau
sea and headache known as "car sick
ness." A journey by rail has for them
all tho discomfort and suffering that an
ocean voyage has to tho majority of
travelers. A lady who had occasion
to lako a short trip on tho Lowell road
and she novor travels by rail for
pleasure was, as usual wilh her, as
thoroughly sick as a landsman is on
tho "heaping deep" by tho fimo sho
had ridden a dozen miles. The con
ductor of tho paluco car, who was ap
parently vory familiar with such cases,
told tho sullercr's companion that a
sheot ol writing paper, worn next to
tho person, directly over tho chest, was
a suro preventive of tho troublo in nino
cases out ol ten. Ilo had recommend
ed it to hundreds of travelers and
rarely knew It to fail. The. prescrip
tion seemod vory liko a "charm," a
hoiso chestnut carried in tho pocket to
ward oil' rhoumutism or a red string
around tho neck tn prevent bleeding at
the nose ; but It was simple, and could
at least do no harm. For tho return
trip a sheet of common writing nolo
paper was fustcned insiilo tho clothing

lortnhlo Journoy without ft hint of the
old sickness that had for years mado

severe test. This camo In a day jour

WALXUT TIMBER.
THE SUPPLY BECOllINO SCARCE AND FUR
NITURE MANUFACTURERS TROUBLED.
The Cincinnati Commercial says:
"Walnut timber it becoming so scarco
ns to give furniture manufacturers in
all parts of tbe country much troublo.
Tho Northwestern Lumberman slntes
that in consequence of the rapid de
crease in ine supply ol this wood some
grades of it havo, in several of the lead
ing markets of the country, advanced at
least twelve dollars a thousand in the
past year. Dealers, it says, are thick
in tho walnut regions, eagerly, and
evon ravenously, picking up the groon
lumber, and in somo instances unscru
pulous buyors have offered mill men an
advance ot from five to ten dollars a
thousand for their cut if they will ro
pudiato tho contracts which hold it.
Tho increasing scarcity of walnut sooms
to have attracted the attention of tho
dealers generally only within ayearor
two. A few, howevor, moro toresiL'ht-
od than their fellows, anticipated tho
famine, and havo prepared for it. One
concern for several years past bought
freely, and to come into competition
with it, other dealors who thought it
wus uuying rocKicssiy, woro forced
either to pay moro than current rates
or lesvo tho field. Asa result this con
cern has piles of walnut throughout
tho Southern Central States, and it is
holding them in reserve for tho lirao
when tbe demand will bo so groat and
tho supply so inadequate that tlicy
will realizo handsomely on their invest
ment. Thcro has boon somo tulk
among furniture men of mahogany tak
ing tho place of walnut, but this the
Lumberman thinks is impossible, tho
supply being not half sufficient. It
says :
"1 bo impossibility of procuring ma
hogany in desirablo quantities may bo
bcitor understood when it is known
that it is bocoming moro difficult to
got ovory year, as the logs havo to bo
brought from further inland. Another
drawback to tho business is that cvory
vessol owner is not willing to put his
vessels into tho mahogany carrying
business. Many of tho coasts ot tho
countries whence it comes are wanting
in goou naroors, and as tho vessels are
obliged to anchor a milo or so from
shore and having the logs ruftod to
thorn, tho cyclones that sweep over
that latitudo aro liablo to destroy them,
loiift year wo road of tho destruction
ol soveral vessels ongaged in that trado,
and as there are but comparatively few
in it, it shows that the busiuess is a
risky one."
It is probable that when tho wulnul
s all gone other nativo woods will tako
ts place. Sovoral varieties, such as
rod oak, birch, beech and ovon black
ash, which hove heretofore rocoivod
attention, are now being used to a con
siderablo extent. Many pooplo who
own lands that aro unfit for cultivation
would do wisely to plant thorn in wal
nut trees. Land so utilizod would, in
few years, not only bo a sourco of
much profit, but during tbo interron-
uroaits and tend to induce a holler ITg
ulatod rainfall. That walnut can bo
successfully cultivated in this country
there is no doubt. Near Onoidu, Mis
souri, aro a numbor of thrifty walnut
groves. The troos woro obtained Irom
tho soed. The groves range from Ion
to lifteon years old, and tho trcos are
from twenty to lorty feet high and
from four to eight inches in diumeter.
n somo parts ol Kansas walnut troos
iuvo grown filtcen feet high from tho
seed in six years. In Wisconsin a gen
tleman who had ft pioco of land unfit
for ordinary cultivation planted it in
walnut, and in twenty. thrco years tbo
trocs were from sixtoen to twonty
inchos in diamotor. Several hundred
acres of such trocs would now bo worth
a fortuno. -Many a landlord farmer
might make his lund profitable by sot
ting it out in walnut troos, which will
novor oat thoir hoadsoff,and willyoarly
incroaso in valuo.

Italy still clings to tho forlorn hopo

Active intercession with tho Court ol
St. James has been going on evor since
the treaty extorted Irom the Hey was

proclamation that ho reluses to recoir-
nizo tho now ordur of things and that

Gladstone gave the tone to tho En
glish discussion of tho French seizure
of Tunis so soon as tho caso could be
brought before Parliament. Tho mad
invoolivo which at first sulutod the
publication of tho French treaty with

SUMMER SALADS.
People who dine at hotels, and even
aomclimos at gentlemen's tables, sel
dom find a salad that is really excel
lent. Generally spenking, it is a black
green, bittor, and if it woro not for tho
liboral appliance of mustard, eggs, oil
and paper, it would be quito unlit for
any human stomach, llow different
this is from what a cool, delicious salad
ought to bo. It seoms practically to
bo forgotten by those who grow salad,
that lettuce was never intended to be
eaten unless blanchod. In ICurope
they grow s long, broad leaved kind
called the Koman or Cos lettuce, which,
alter having retained considerable de
velopment, bus tbo loaves drawn up
and lied together at tbo top. Tho in
terior continuing to grow, and of courso
in tho dark, by tbe tying up of the
outer leaves, makes a burd muss liko an
elongated cabbage, which cuts np as
white and crisp and swoet as a atick ol
celery. This kind has never found
place in American gardens, boaiiso our
climate induces it to run to seed too
quickly. Tho various kinds of cubbugo

and brought inlo contact with the

improved by tho German invention of
a steel wheel with serrated odgc, fitted
to spring, and made. to revolve
rapidly, tho edge coming in contact
with a pieco of pyrites, and by this
iricuon producod tbe sparks, to ignile

lock lor sporting purposes was very
general in the mid. Ilo ot the sixteenth
century, and for long time was not
improved upon.
But necessity is tho mothor of in

TRAINING TOMATOES.
Tho tomato crop has bocomo cno of
tho most important in tho domestic as
well as in tho market garden, and
should be carefully looked after. There
was a timo when tho eating of toma
toes, raw ami cooked, was overdone
hut they huvo becomo a Block fruit, to
h eoton lor anlnd nr annco. and are
still moro useful lor flavoring soups
and othor dishes. In tho Cast they
have boon used for a longporiod in tho
lattor form, as an indispensable article
ot diet.
A liltlo caro in training tho plants
and moderato trimming will greatly
promote their fruitfulnosa, advanco tho
timo of their ripening and improve
their flavor. It is well to havo thorn
sot out on the aunny aide of wall or
fence against which they may Detrain
ed on a slanting trellis, so as to afford
a Iroo circulation of air behind and at
tho same time expose, the fiuit con
stunlly to tho sun. The sun is essen
tial to the pcrloction ot the fruit as
much as w ith cherries or apple. It is
oltcn excluded from the tomatoes by
tho rank growth of vinos and loaves,
and to the fruit ia slow in coming to
perfection. Indeed it novcr docs come
to perfection without tho ripening in
flticnco of tho sun's rayt.
Another great advantage of training
tomatoes in the manner suggested is
that tbey are kept out of the dirt, are
always clean and ready for use and are
not liable to rot. The common modo
of lotting tbo plants take care of them
selves, and tho fruit lie on the ground,
expoeoi the tomatoes to dirt and rot
ind vormin, Irom which they miy
easily be preserved by ft little extra
pains.
Where n trellis or frame cannot be
mado it ii well to put brush on the
ground before they have bad much
growth, and allow the plant to rnn on
the brush. This will koep tho fruit out
of tho dirt, and an occasional moderate
trimming ol the vines and leaves will
expoto it to the sun. Hut ft good frame
will pay well in the end.

GOUT AND DYSPEPSIA.
It is well-known that gout is a com
mon diseaBO in England. In this
country it is so rare that little ia
known about it outside the modical
profession. It is, howover, an exceed
ingly painful disease, and the intorvnlt
botwocn tho attacks tend to grow less
nnd loss as is illustrated in the caso
of Spurgcon, who is now so frequently
driven from his pulpit by thorn.
At tho witty F'ronchman has do
scribed it, rheumatism is your hand in
tbo viso until you can stnnd it no
longer ; gout is ono moro turn of the
screw.
Luxurious living, with insufficient
exercise, is universally regarded as its
cause, except that ono may inherit
tendency to it, though ovon this, doubt
less, connects with inherited luxurious
habits.
Dyspepsia., on the othor band. is. in
this country, as common as gout ia
raro. Thia, also, is Inrgoly due to im
proper eating improper in quality or
in quantity. Ono may have naturally
weak powers of digestion ; or tho di
gestive capacity may have bocomo
weakened temporarily or permanently.
by grief, caro, anxiety, pressure of
business, unremitting brain work, or
too little exorcise in the open air.
At la to meeting ot tbe lioston So
ciety for Modical Observation, Dr.
Curtil pointed out the common ontl'tl
Gout results where digestion is vigor
ous. Tho blood bocomot overcharged
wilh food, mainly nitrogenous. This,
instead of beingeliminated in tbo form
of urea, carbolic ncid, eto., remains in
tho System imperfectly oxidizod, at the
source of tho latter disease
In tho United States, ovoroating,
giving riso to dyspepsia, prevent! that
excess of unassimilatod nutriment
which ia the foundation of England's
moro painful atlliction.
HEALTH HINTS.
Croup. A towel or flannel cloth
wrung out of hot vinegar in which ft

Glvcose. Glucose ii mndo from
corn. A bushol of corn, oosting 2
contt to 30 cents, is, by the process of
mnnnlacturo, turnod into dollar's
worth of glucoao. Tbe oost of conver
sion is said to be about 25 cents, to
that it is not unreasonable to estimate
tho profit at nearly one hundred per
cent on cost. Tbe growth of this in
dustry during tbo past fow yean bat
boon something almost Incrcdibls.
Twenty largo factories have been Blurt

with n rapital of not less than 12,000,.
Out). The consumption of corn this
year will probably be 15,000,000 bush
el, and tho valuo of tbe product, an
tes price decline, will bo 110,000,000
to (12,000,000. The largest use of this
product is In the manufacture of candy,
nine tenths of tbe cheaper kinds ol con
fectionery being mode of it, according
to the reporli of those who have in
vestigated the matter. It is also used
to adulterate sugars and syrups, is con
verted into irtiticial honey and enters
largely into the composition of boor.
Pure glucose Ii said to be harmless, but
sulphuric acid, lime and the talt of
coppor, used in ita preparation, are
sometime found to an injurious extent
in the article on sale. 1 1 should, at all
event, b honoitly handled and dealt
in for what it Is.
