DIALOGUE WITH A MORAL
Why Not Buy at Home and Help the
Local Dealer Instead of Wasting
Cash In Traveling to th City?
Time and Comfort Saved.
Afternoon in home across the Hud
son from Now York city. Mrs. Ross
and daughter Jennie, visiting Mrs.
Jones, Mrs. Ross' married daughter.
Mrs. Ross I see you have on a pair
of new shoes.
Mrs. Jones Yes. I bought them yes
terday at J.'s (mentions a local store),
and they are a perfect fit
Jennie Why, they are just like mine.
now much did you pay for them?
Mrs. Jones Three dollars.
Mrs. Ross and Jennie (together)
Myl Oh, gracious!
Mrs. Ross You never can get a bar
gain in Jersey.
Jennie That's so. Ma and I went
over to Now York to a sale and
bought my shoes, the same identical
thing, for only $2.03.
Mrs. Ross And wo had lunch for
both for 50 cents.
Jennie The crowd nt the sale was'
awful, und I came near fainting from
the heat. Everybody must watch for
thoso sales.
Hero Mr. Jones, who was listening
behind his newspnper, could hold him
self no longer. Ho burst out with a
"Ha, ha, ha!"
Mrs. Ross What's tho matter, Mr.
Jones?
Mr. Jones I was ha, ha Just think
ing how saving you women folks are
sometimes.
Mrs. Ross I don't see any joke
about it. You should tell May (mean
ing Mrs. Jones) to look around nnd
not spend all her money at home, ns
you are always preaching. See the
samo shoes on May and Jennie, and
Jennie's cost only $2.08.
Mr. Jones na, ha! You went to
Now York with Jennie for a pair of
shoes; 20 cents to get there, $2.08 for
a $3 shoe, na, ha! Saved 2 cents, still
out 24 cents, lunch 50, nearly overheat
ed in crowd and 20 cents to got home,

Identical shoe as May has for $3 In
Jersey cost you in New York $4 In
stead of $2.9S, big saving. Ua, ha!
And May didn't come home tired nnd
fretful tho day she paid $3 for her
shoes ha, ha!
Mrs. Ross (getting ready to go home)
Oh, you men do always figure closer

HELP ALONG OUR OWN.
Why Send to Other Communities For

Tho steamer Chalmette, from Balti
more, carrying a solid cargo of canned
goods, is discharging its freight at Gal
veston. The state of Texas Is one of
tho largest markets Baltimoro has for
thl3 kind of goods, as It is tho piece do
resistance on tho ranches. Tho in
crease in shipment Is duo to tho reduc
tion In rates on canned goods from 20
to 31 cents. Quanah Observer.
Commenting on tho above, Farm and
Ranch of Dallas, Tex., says:
There are no better canned goods
than thoso of Texas, Arkansas and
Louisiana. Yet it Is found hard to sell
products of our canneries, whllo train-
loads and boatloads of goods are be
ing shipped into the states which
should support their own industries.
In ouo caso it was found that goods
from a local cannery had been shipped
away from homo, then bought by n lo
cal merchant nnd shipped back to tho
placo wherj canned.
The people who preach tho doctrine
of patronizing homo Industries should
follow tho advlco they freely glvo to
others. When they fail to do so then
they preach for revenue only, and tho
revenue Is for themselves only.

8PECTACLE3 FOR HORSES.
Adopted When Horse Is Young; Ef
fect Remarkable.
t least one London firm makes
spectacles for horses. Tho object of
theso Is to promoto high stepping.
The frames are made of stiff leathor
entirely enclosing tho eyes of tho
horso, and the glasses used aro con
cave nnd large In size. The ground
Bcerrs to tho horso to bo raised, and
ho accordingly steps high, thinking
that ho Is going uphill or has to stop
over somo obstacle.
This system of spoctncle-wonrlng
is generally adopted while tho ho. so
Is young, and Its effect on his etop
and action Is Bald to bo remarkable.
It has been ascertained that the
cause of a horse's shying Is. an a
rule, short sight, nnd It is contended
that the sight of all horses should bo
tested, as that of children.
it Is maintained that by a little
artificial assistance many valuable
horses which havo become optically
unfit for work can be restored to use
fulness. Harper's Weekly.
Among the "Extras."
One of tho things which help swell
tho traveller's expenses, both in this
country and abroad. Is tho "extra." It
may or may not be charged In the bill,
but It Is sure to bo paid for. Proba-,
bly even the most genorous traveler,
however, will havo somo sympathy
for the gentleman In the following
story, who was made to pay liberally
for n certain annoying privilege.
During his stay at tho hotel tho
weather had been very hot
"Charles." said the landlord to tho
clerk who was making out the bill
to be presented to the departing
guest, "have you noticed' that the
gentleman In number seven has con
sulted the thermometer on tho piazza
at least ten times every morning dur
ing his stay hero?"
Charles replied that ho had.
"Well," said the landlord, "chargo
him the price of one dinner a day for
the use of tho thermometer."-

The Story of a Cabinet.
The Swedish Consul at Marseilles
has received a modest but Interesting
memento in the form of a cabinet for
papers for transmission to King Gus-
tav V. This history of tho cabinet
Is interesting. It Is made of juniper
wood, and the tree was supposed to
bo a thousand years old when It was
felled. It had grown on an estato
near Marseilles which had belonged
to the Clary family. Ono of tho
daughters married Bernadotte, the
founder of the royal house of Sweden.
Bonaparte, it is said, used to enjoy
sitting under this tree. Somo time
before the death of Oscar II., tho
present King visited the home of his
ancestress nnd expressed a desire to
possess some souvenir of the place,
nnd the caoinet Is tho outcome of
his wish. London Globe.
New Canals Dug.
Coincltlently with tho rise of Ger
many's sea power there Is going on a
remarkable development of tho na
tion's waterways. Berlin Is now am
bitious to be a seaport and a project
for a maritime canal from tho Baltic
sea Is under way. Tho Kaiser Wit-
helm canal, only a few years old,
has already been found to bo inade
quate, and a project has been adopted
to double the width and increase tho
depth to forty feet at a cost of $1,-
000,000 a mile. Germany's example
is felt by her neighbors. Brussels,
Ghent and Bruges are engaged In
similar projects.
A Painter's Legend.
Around Leonardo da Vinci's famous
painting, "The Last Supper," there
hangs an Interesting legend. The
painter, it Is said, sought a model for
his Christ for a long time In vain bo
fore ho discovered a beautiful youth
who answered to his conception. At
a later stage he sought a model of
Judas, and, having found himi discov
ered that tho foul-looking man upon
whom his choice had fallen was no
other than the erstwhile boautlful
youth who had sat to him a few years
before.
"The Luck of the Draw."
The mistress was giving Harriet
the benefit of her advice and counsel,
touching a momentous step the latter
contemplated.
"Of courso, Harriet," said the" lady
of the house, "if you intend to get
married, that's your own business;
but you mustn't forget that marriage
is a very serious matter."
"Yls, mum," said Harriet "Yi,
mum; I know 'Us sometimes, mum.
But, mum, maybe I'll have better luck
than you did, mum."

SHEFFIELD PLATE.
Collectors Place It Side by Side With
Sterling Silver.
Late In tho eighteenth century there
was developed in Shelllcld, England,
a new method of fusing a thin plcco
of silver upon copper or brass which
was christened with tho name of tho
city. Attaching silver to baser metal
by means of solder had been kuown
from remote times. Tho gay caparisons
of horso nnd rider In the tourunmcuts
made a demand for work of this sort
aud Otley, n littlo town to the north
of Shelllcld, was long a center of Its
trade, says Handicraft. It Is related
that ns the call of such trappings went
out its craftsman drifted toward Shef
field, and It Is not unlikely that through
their knowledge and skill tho copper
plating was perfected.
It wns at once recognized and copied
by the French, who had hitherto
known only tho joining by means of
solder, nnd wns used for fifty years or
more, when tho modern process of
electroplating superseded It For a
time after the discovery of the latter
methods, followlug a common law, the
old plate was discredited and many a
fine piece suffered in careless hands.
Today collectors placo a choice piece
of Sheffield plate sldo by sldo with
sterllug silver.
Tho standard of silver lu England,
which Is also our own, has remained
practically unchanged for 500 years.
Two hundred years ago It was raised
for about twenty-five years, but the
test of wear proved it too soft to be
durable. This silver has tho figure of
Britannia stamped upon it aud Is
known to the trade ns Queen Anne
silver. Its standard is still lawful, but
seldom cnlled for. With the date and
sterling mark of nil English sliver are
also the mark of tho office In which
It is assayed and tho registered mark
of the maker or tho shop from which
it is sold. There are now seven olfices
where silver may be assayed, some of
the older ones, like York nnd Exeter,
having been discontinued. London is
tho oldest nmong them, its leopard's
head being so highly esteemed that It
Is not unusual for manufacturers in the
other cities to send their work there
for its mark. At tho Goldsmiths' hall,
in London, date letters aro preserved
from tho time of Queen Elizabeth;
Edinburgh bus date letters from the
seventeenth century nnd Dublin from
somewhat later, but for tho most part
the lists begin close upon tho date of
our independence, that of Sheffield
starting In 1773.

A Fresh Egg.
An English food expert, said in a re
cent lecture:
"The secret of health is two meals
a day with an occasional fast But
peoplo won't avail themselves of this
superb secret. It is too unpleasant
like the fresh egg. A gentleman, aft
er cutting the top off a soft boiled egg,
summoned the waiter nnd said:
" 'Walter, take this egg back to the
kitchen, wring its neck, and grill it for
mo.' "

Conkling and Thurman.
Senator Roscoo Conkling was once
addressing the senate lu an Impassion
ed manner nnd seemed to direct hi
remarks to Senator Thurman. At
length the latter got irritated.
"Docs the Kcnntor from New York,"
he roared, "expect 'me to answer him
every time be turns to mo?"
For a moment Mr. Conkling hesitat
ed, nnd everybody expected n terrific
explosion. Then, with an air of ex
quisite courtesy, he replied:
"When I qpcnk of the law I turn t
the senator from Ohio ns tho Mussul
man turns toward Mecca. I turn tc
him as I do to the English common
lnw as tho world's most copious foun
tain of human Jurisprudence.''
