were the keenest lovers of the chase.
Tbev were very snivessful hunters, too,
and "generally carried ofT the. palm both

town, with the intention cf going home.
On their way in they overtook a coun
tryman driving a farm wagon, in the
bed t.f which lay one of the handsomest
specimens of black lear that the New
Yorkers bad ever laid eyes on. The rus

brilliant idea occurred to Buckley.
' What would you bo willing to sell your

" 'Well, the state gives a bounty cf

give me $10 more you can have him.
"Buckley gave the eld man his price,
with $o additional, first exacting from
Lira a solemn premise that he would
never breatLe a syllable of the transac

ahead, ami on reaching the hotel told in
most cntha.-iastic style how they bad
killed the biggest black lwar that had

Pretty soon the wagon hove in sight and
a big crowd gathered at the hotel en

heroes of the hour.

The fortuitous accessory cf the trees

heightened by the swaying of the branch

Mediterr.uican b:tsin was a never ceasing
irritation to all the Latin powers. Her
commercial proepcriiy and her mastery
cf the seas aggravated tho exasperation
f France as threatening even Ler equali

days of the first crusade all Frenchmen
had felt that Leadership in the rocou
strncti n if Asia belonged to them by
virtue cf preoccupation. Ardent repub

incomplete in the lilxralizing cf the

Tlie scene was the private Liboratory

The celebrated toxicolopist glanced at
the card and motioned the visitor to a
seat. "Happy to make your acquaint

Tho swarthy browed visitor glanced
around to mako sure that they were

SOME OLD TRADE TRICK3.
Dow Thej W'rra runlshed Five or Si
Hundred Year Ago,
Cheating in trade is no new thing. It
was i-ractioed iti the fourt'-euth wntury
as well as in the ninetei nth. Our town
records e-s.ntaiu many cases of summary
jarisdiction in matters affecting the
price, weight and quality of food, cloth
ing and other thinps.
I cull a few from the archives cf the
city of London. In 1343 proceedings
were taken against a butcher for selling
putrid nieat. Three reasons were alleged
against this conduct at his trial before
the mayor and aldermen. It was deceit
ful and dishonest; dangerous to the pub
lic health ; it broupht scandal and dis
grace upon the mayor, ce,rporation, aud
a'l tho inhabitants of the city that a
Londoner should behave so. After tho
investigation L was found guilty, and
condemned to be taken, with Lis bad
meat carried in front of Lim, to the pil
lory ia Cornhill, aud while Le stood
therein the carrion he had tried to sell
was baraed under Lis nc
It is veil known that the pillory
was an instrument in which the culprit
was fixed, incapable of movement, ex
posed to the contempt of the eopla
The oHense eif the culprit was always
pnblicby procL-iiuod, and, according to
the views of the spectators, the punish
ment miaht be severe or otherwise. If
tli-y disliked theoffeii;:ecf the oiTeuder,
their contempt would take the pre.ver
lial and forcible f .rci e.f rotten cgiis
aud dead cats, and the trader woe Id
make a t-K-or acquaintance vith his
own wares, both raw and ccoLed, than
Le might find pleasant.
A publican, convicted cf selling un
round and unwholesome red wine, was
ee:nciiced to drink a draft of the same
stuff which Le sold to the common peo
ple, the remainder being poured on hij
head, and compelled to forswear tho call
ing of a vintner in the city of London
forever, unless he could obtain the favor
tf the king. A note em the record states
that ho was readmitted five years later.
Abc-at the samo time we find a we.m
an charged with eelling ale in a short
measure quart pot, the bottom of which
she had thickened with pitch and cov
ered with r ternary, to look like bash in
tho sight c f her customers. It was a
common practice to put somo sort of
evergreen loaves in the bottom t.f tank
ards hence the proverb, "Good wine
needs no bash." Her sentence was to
Ftaud in the "thew," or female pillory,
with half e.f the pot attached to it. As
far as possible, the cause of the offense
was always exhibited lUong with the
person punished.
Severe punhdiinent was meted out for
endeavoring to raise the standard mar
ket price ef com and ethcr articles. In
1317 a mcn.-h.mt was imprisoned for 40
days for enhancing the price cf his own
property. lie secretly employed a man
to bring certain cf his own (the mer
chant's) wheat to the market, vhere
npoa Le lx iiigiit his own at twopence more
Ir bu;hel than tho market price, of
course taking care to make tho same
well known, forgetting, however, to
ttate what ho knew about tho seller,

How They Differ.

Man is a creature of cast iron habits;

this is the foundation of the moral dif

When a man write-, everything must

from a book ur jxtrtfolio, tdiarpens a
pencil with the scissors, puts the paper
on an old atlas, crosses her feet, balan

her thoughts to apcr, changing from
pencil to pen and vice versa from time
to time, nor does she care if the chil

For a man "good-bye" signifies the

COOL CELLARS-
Too Much Ventilation Contributes to
rampness.
A great mistake is sometimes made
in ventilating cellars ami milkhouscs.
The object of ventilation is to keep the
cellars e-ool and dry; but this object
often fails ofU-ing accomplished by a
common mistake, and instead, the cel
lar is made both warm and damp. A
coid place should never be ventilated,
unless the air admitted is cooler than
the air within, or is at least as cool as
that, or a very little wanner. The
warmer the air, the more moisture it
holds in suspension. Necessarily, the
oiler the air the iin-re this moisture is
condensed and precipitated. When a
Ctxil cellar Ls aired on a warm day the
entering air iK-ing in motion appears
cold, but as it tills the t-eliar the cooler
air with which it bei-omes mixed chills
it, the inoi.-ture is condensed, and dew
is dcisisitt-d cm the cold walls, ami
may often l seen running down them
in streams. Theu the evllar is damp
and soon U-eoines mouldy. To avoid
this, the windows should only le open
at night, and late the last thing lie
fore retiring. There is no nee-d to fear
that the night air is unhe ilthful it is
as pure as the air of midday, aud is
really drier. The ctxil air enters the
apartment during the night, and circu
lates through it. The windows should
le closet 1 before sunrise in the morn
ing; ami kept closed ami shaded dur
ing the day. If the air of the evllar is
(lamp, it may be thoroughly dried by
placing in it a peck of fresh lime in an
open lox; and, the National Builder
adds, a ie-ck of fresh lime will absorb
aliout 7 pounds, or more than three
quarts of water, and in this way a evl
lar or milkhouse my soon be drietl,
even in the hottest weather.

Chines Funeral Hone.
The most marked trait of theChinese
Is a profound veneration for their an
cestors, a characteristic which finds ex
pression not only in a filial affection
for ami obedience to the living parents,
but also In a holy revcreiHv for the
dead, who are faithfully worshiped in
the most solemn religious rites. The
form of adoration offered to the deceas
ed is essentially that performed b-frj
the idols. It is made up of the burning
of caudles, i license ami gilt pajier, ac
companies! by numerous genuflections
and protestations. A neeessary factor
in the services is the spreading of elab
orate feasts, the invisible essence of
; which, it Is lielievotl, ascends for the de
j lectation and mastication of the dear
departed. The Chinese believe implh'
itly that the souls of the dead continue
in conscious existence and in such c m
! tact with the scene of their former ex
istence that the location of their graves,
the constancy of the worship they re
ceive, with the richness and variety of
. the otl'crings made to them, ure nust
j important in determining their hap-
Tiie vulgar belief is that the need
of the dead are substantially the same
as the needs of the living, anil that they
can only reevivc those neeesnities by the
ministrations of the living. Food, cloth
ing and money are, therefore, offered to
the spirits, Iving rendered invisible ami
tratismittetl to the other world by
means of tire. The fune-ral of any one
is the occasion for a solemn bonfire,
wherein are consumed the clothing of
the deceased, ami enormous sums of
imitation money. In addition the
funeral pyre often includes paper
horsest and furnishings ami servants
that the defunct may enjoy distinguish
ed immortality. If the mourned were
a sea e'aptain a paper ship would lie
given to the flames. If he were an of
fuvr of rank a horse would be provided,

Harvest Home.
An artie-le in the 'Philadedihia
.V orr' deplores the passing iu this
country of that merriest of rural
festivals, the "Harvest Home." Be-e-ause
of the instituting of a day of
"general thanksgiving" the "Harvest
Home" has never been wide-ly oliserv
etl here; and as it is yet oliserved in
scattered places, "The Jlf-eortt coni
plaint seems to us hardly well based.
As we conceive', Thanksgiving was
a religious translation of the half-pagan
harvest festival, and in the present
reae'tion against the religious emphasis
of Thanksgiving day, we have, in
see-king a good time, not returned to,
but wamleretl still further away from,
pretty "Harvest Home." For that
movement there may lie regret. Of all
the joyous former festivals few are bet
ter known, and even now it is celebrat
ed iu the old way in many parts of
Germany and Great Britain. The "hist
load" is brought in from the Held, gay
ly decked with flowers and branches.
The "(J'lecii of the Harvest" is en
tli roned ujsiu it, and around It dance
the men and maidens. There are
songs and games, as well, and all the
fun that light and happy hearts can
suggest. Then Is the brief church
servitv, where the decorations are the
lim-st products of the field; then the
banquets and the toasting, and the
dancing far into the night. It may le
that the lapsing of this expression of
joy in the plenteous harvest is signi
ficant of the great drift of population
toward the cities, a drift of more than
statistical meaning, for it indicates a
det'iK-r drift of feeding. We are as
dependent as ever on the skillful tilling
of the fields, the sowing ami the re-aping;
Isit we half ignore the obligation,
belittle that mist essential, and so
mvst noble, of all occupations, farming;
and I must and talk of this year's wond
erful crops, not in a thankful, but in a
mean and mercenary city spirit.

use of these poisonous preparations, or
any e-osme-tic whatever, argue deficient
intellect on the part of the users; but
that there is a widespread use e.f them
a short walk on the crowded city shi
ping street will show. The police of
Berlin have hit uimn an ingenious way
of putting a stop to their sale, without
invoking the law against the advertis
ers. They insert iu all the pajiers of
the city a notice stating that they have
cau sei I analysis to be made of this or
that preparation, ami that its ingredi
ents are so and so; and they also add
the intrinsic value of the ingredient.
In one celebrated preparation, they
showed that a compound that ost one
cent was sold for two dollars and a half

selves with non-poisonous nostrums.

A Miner's Experience.
A Hardy Welsh Miner of Dravosbnrs
Tells a Story of Deep
Interest to All.
Arrcr-a the river from McKeesport I tha
lili:e town of Dravosburg. Its residents
re rutistly tniarrs, htrdy men who work
in the coal pits nearby. Many of them
are Welshmen, and 'uch is Mr. Roger
i;dm an.'., a well-known man throaghout
the valley. When Mr. Hdniund becams
afT.icletl with a back trouble that mad
btui practically cripple his case com
nairvlcd the attention and Ttnpthy of
his numerous friends; but thoat days arc
past U'l gone, the miner once mora can
di a miner's work; and 'tis the cause of
this wondrous change that Mr. Edmonds
speaks of here. We will let him tell it
a he did to our repreentatiT. He says:
'Tor two years or more I have been a
cripple from ray back. It would be an
impoiiiHtv to describe the tortures I
have saffered during that time. I could
not riie uom a chair without aid; re
quired assistance to sit down. I am a coal
miner, and I have often crawled to tha
pit in the morning, so bad was my con
dun. n, and be forced to return horns
aiiin unable to do anything. Sometimes
I was so bad I have loaded wagons on
rr.v knees, utterly unable to stand ap.
I tried everything for a cure of my trou
ble, and eshauited every means that I
knew of, but medicine seemed to hsT
I.st its virtue so far as I was concerned.
I doctored until I finally gave np ia
drpair, completely disgusted, and doubt
iug the existence of a cure for my case,
and believing there was no help for me.
Some time ago my wife got at the drug
store of J. C. Smith. McKeesport, a boa
of Dean's Kidney Pills, persuading- m to
try them. I took them to please her,
never expecting to be a well man again.
I felt better after the third dose. I used
three boxes in all, and I am now as strong
and supple a man as I ever was. For
two years I could only load one wagoa a
day; at the pit now I frequently load five.
My back is strong once more, and my cvrs
nothing short of a miracle. Doan'a Kid
ney Pills have been a blessing to me. I
shall never be without them ia th
house."
