RISTON'S.
ftlioppt.jg; In London.
One of the erroneous Impressions that
Amerioani have before tbey try shop
ping In London Is tbat things are re
markably cheap there, and wbpn tbey
are set right by actual experience with
the fashionable dressmakers nun hnlmr
dasher they got n second mistaken idea
that English tradesmen are extraordi
narily uncivil. This all arises fom the
different customs tbat gnvera rctnil
busiuessin the two countries. In Amer
ica we pay OBsh for goods or settle onr
acconnts monthly. In England, how.
ever, acconnts are supposed to be ren
dered quarterly, and it has frequently
I in riried that because soma -patrons

i' i.iin ii K an advertisement the
. p. rhns allowed their acconnts
i., . ..ii ii.r turce and four yearj. uthcr
:r..m bnvo demanded the fame privi
leges mid bnvo abused them, nnd the re
sult is that to compensate, for Interest on
money owing by solvent debtors and for
tlio sums lost through those who never
pay the tradesman charges a goodly
profit on all his goods, nnd the prices
are accordingly high. Onhe other
hiind, American women shopping nbrond
seem to be bargain mad, and their ef
forts to bent down prices inspire tbe
tradesman with much the samo feeling
that a well trnincd butler experiences
when bis uouveuu rlcbo master econo
niizes on his wines. In fact, looking for
bargains in Bond street is folly. fciuu

our large stock of Furniture, our lino

design and well finished. They are not
product of hasty thought and unskilled
bands. Every piece Is well made and
well joined. They are built to last.
But the most surprising thing about
them is the price. We oiler a Side

Lord Myron.
Here is a new light on tbe character
of Lord Byron. Tbe quotation is from a
letter by John Murray:
"Lord Byron Is a curious man. He
gave me, ns I told yon, the copyright of
bis new poems, to be printed only in
his works. I did not receive the last
nutil Tuesday night I was so delighted
with it that even as I rend I sent bim a
draft fur i, 000 guineas. Tbo two poems
aro altogether no more than 1,200 and
1,000 lines and will together sell for
6b. (Id. But be returned the draft, say
ing that it was very liberal mnch more
than they were worth ; that I wus per
fectly welcome to both poems to print
in his (collected) works without cost or
expectation, bnt tbat he did not think
them equal to what they ought to be,
and that be would not admit of tbeir
sepnrate publication.
"I wont yesterday, and he was rally
lug me npon ray folly in offering so
much and that he dared to say
thought now I had a most lucky esuupe,
" 'To prove bow mucn I think so,
my lord,' suid I, 'do me tbo favor to ao
cent this pocketbook,' in which I had
brought with me the draft, changed in
to two bank notes of 1,000 and 00,
but he would not tuke it."
A Tranafurmatlon.
Soon after my urrival in Leipsio my
attention was eailod one day to an eld
erly gentleman on the street.
"Do you see that old gentleman with
the big soft felt bat, the blue glusaes
and the big umbrella?"
"Yon mean tbe one who is shambling
along as if he were not just snre where
be is going?"
"Yes, but you should not speak ao
disrespectfully of tbe greatest of living
psychologists."
Bnt the mistake was pardonable, tor
few would have supposed that he was
not some plain village bnrgber who
had just come up to town and felt some
what lost in tbe big city. Onoe in
Wundt's lecture room, however, one
receives a vory different impression of
bim. As tbe great philosopher pour
forth one of his learned discourses those
plain features light np, bis bearing be
comes dignified and impressive, and
yon no longer think of the ungainly
walk and the quaint mannerisms.
Roanoke Collegian.
The Trrsmfih of bannf.
Several your before tbe disco very of
oil at I'ltbole an Irishman named Mc
Carthy and hta son Dan- came to this
country from the Emerald Islo. Dan
was a yonng man of 30, but his father
looked upon Mm as a mere boy and
seemed to take dullgbt in ridiculing -
him before people.
"Yis, Dan is a good b'y," be would
say sarcastically, "but, Danny, aie b'y, .
yoz'll uivtr set the fiver on Are."
This wns bis stock witticism, and it
annoyed Dan very much, but he did bis
best and soon surprised the old gentle
man by scouring n lucrative job.
'Yis, Dauny has a job all rigbt," he
laid. "It's $1. 00 a day, but tbe b'y'll
niver set the river on fire. Not be." .
When oil was found at Pltbole, Dan
bnrried to t'.ie scene and was soon earn
ing uunmrnlly large wages as a team
ster. All tbe petroleum wns drawn in .
barrels, and teutns were in great de
mand, lie raved his money, bongbt an
acre of laud and soon bad a well drillod
tbat was producing 100 barrels of oil
per day at 010 per barrel. lte elder
McCarthy joined bim, saw the' well, re
ceived a liberal gift of money, and then
shook bis head ouiiuonsly.
" 'Tis a good thing, Danny, ". he
croaked ; "jo're doin well, but mark me '
worruds, yez'U niver set the river on
fire, me b'y."
A few days lator a flood wrecked one
of Dan's small wooden tanks, the oil
run down tbo river, and there xj great
excitement. As Dan and bin father stood
on the bank watching tbe oil float away
Dan drew a match and lighted it.
"Fathor," bo said coolly, "the next
toime yez say 'Ji'll niver set the river '
on fire pla.o remimber tbat Oi bad a
chance wuust, and and didn't do nt,

Then ho blew out the match. Har-,
