AHOtTTHK IIATTl'.K. ' ne old problem abont the hatter nod tlie counterfoil bill is going the rounds again. A halter is waited up ou by a man who wishes to purchase a hat. A hat is found tT suit lit ja ex actly the price eight dollars; The man offers in payment a fifty-dollar banknote. The hatter has no antall bills, and U obliged to go to a neigh bor ajd get the large bill changed. He returns and delivers the hat and gives to his customer forty-two dollars of the small, good bills. Before night the neighbor who had changed it brings back the fifty dollar not as counterfeit. Of course, the halter has to give him fifty dollars in good money for it. The dishonest customer was not seen again. Now how much did the hatter lose by the operation? I have heard a vast deal of discus sion over this question. The last time I heard the thing mooted was in a friend's store, where were present two pood book-keepers, and an accom- lished insurance agent. How much id the hatter lose ? "Why fifty dol lars and the hat, of course," said the agent. And the. others were wilder than he. - , Just take the simplest possible pro position, and we have it. The hatter's cash account at night. Or, a second simple proposition. There was but one sharper in the business what did he make off with? Or, to make it, perhaps, plaioor still, suppose, instead of going to his neighbor to get the fifty-dollar bill changed, the halter had happened to have fifty dollar in email bills of bis own at home, and had gone home and got them ? Reck- oning up profit and loss from that sit uation ia very simple. HOW TO TVT DOWN MATTINIl. As the time of matting draws near. it may well to call the attention of house-keepers to the fitct that, as there is a right way of doing everything. there is decidedly a right way to put down Canton matting. It is the al most universal practice to put it down wrong. Most persons cut the lengths, and then, laying the breadths in their proper places ou the floor, proceed to drive a vast number of tacks up and down the edges. Ibis method serves the-purpose of keeping the covering very tightly on the floor, but it in iures the boards, and ruins the matting. Every tack breaks one straw, and perhaps more. The Canton mattings are made on boats, where they are woven in short pieces about two yards long. These short Diecea are afterwards joined to gether on the shore in lengths of about ' forty yards. It is easy to see where these two yard pieces are joined, and the first thing to be done, after the matting is cut into proper lengths, to sew these places aeroos on the wrong side to keep the joints from opening. Then sew the breadths .together, and tack it to the floor in the same way that you treat a carpet Mattings made in this way will last fully twice as Jong as where they are tacked in every breadth. A good malting should last six or seven years. JOB WORK Allegheny Valley Rail Road. nit Creek A Alleahcnv River Rail way, and Buffalo, uorryi Pitts burgh R. R.
