Their demand is that the stato shall deflno what constitutes "unfair competition* and prohibit it Frobably the mer chants who united in this request would, most of them, strenuously deny •ocialistlc proclivities, but their re quest is in the line of pure socialism. It would be only another step In the same direction to ask that the govern ment prohibit one from underselling another.

The cannon of Crimean Days were mounted on woodCn carriages of the crudest construction; the recoil was not controlled, but morely limited by a stout breech ing-rope. Elevation and training were given by moving the gun and carriage by common wooden handspikes, and tho gun was run out, after being loaded, by side tackles. Every operation was performed by the simple and direct application of man ual labor, and the number of men told off to work a thirty-two pounder gun of not more than three tons weight was fourteen, and they all had hard work to perform. With the modern gun of more than double the weight Just half the number of men are required. The gun captain, or number one, aims and fires, and, unassisted, elevates and trains the gun with the greatest ease and nicety up to tht moment of firing; kho gun runs out automatically after recoil. The only operation that re quires any expenditure of force is the actual loading of -the gun, and that is reduced to a minimum. No Such Thine:. Tho quality of ondurance of or indifference to what in other men produces shock or re pulsion is said to belong to men without nerves. ThOre is no such thing and cannot be.

JOHN CARLE&SONS. NEW YORK. TRAPPING IVILY MIfSKRATS MORE THAN 100,000 PELTS USED IN NEW YORK ANNUALLY. Tliqy Do Duty as a Cheap Substitute for Sealskin Wisdom of the Muskrat as a House Builder. FURRIERS of Now York City," said one of them in tho Now York Sun, "buy more than 100,000 musk rat skins every winter, and that isn't more than thoy need to supply tho de mand for imitation sealskin gloves, caps, muffs, boas, trimmings and other articles in that line. If the muskrat was as big as the fjir seal its pelt would bo readily worth §25 to tho trapper, instead of fifteen or twonty cents, as now. "Thoro is no other fur that resem bles the sealskin so closely, and there in- lies its value to the furrier, for it makes a handsome but cheap substi tute for mat costly fur in many ways. The fur is always sold for what it is, but purchasers of articles made from it usually refer to them as their seal skin so-and-so. "Tho beaver alone excels tho musk rat in ingenuity and system in its do mestic arrangements. In building its house the muskrat selects a spot in the low marsh land which will be flooded at high tide. Tho site for its house selected, tho muskrat tunnels from tho bank of the stream or lagoon, boginning below the edge of tho water at ebb tide, a passage underground to the spot where its house is to be. Then iho bußy animal cuts with its teeth the broad, strong stalks and leaves of the flag and tho long, coarse grass which form tho principal veg etation of the marshes. Dragging them to the building site the muskrat braids and twists the flags and grasses togethor in circular form, and builds them layer upon layer, gradually nar rowing the stiuoturo until a firm, cono-shaped house is tho result. This is further strengthened and made comfortable by the liberal intermix ture of mortar made from tho marsh mud, with which tho muskrat plasters its house inßide and out. Tho only entranco to tho house is the subter ranean passage from tho bank of tho stream, the ground floor being on a level with that tunuol. "The interior of a muskrat's hou3o is always divided into two floors or studies. Sometimes it will havo as many as four. These aro led to by a chamber built around the inner edge of tho house, and rising liko a spiral stairway. Tho number of stairs to the houso nro regulated by tho hoight to which tho tido rises. Tho muskrat ex pects and wants tho ground floor to be flooded, but thero must always bo a dry rocm at tho top of tho houso to which tho occupants may retire in time of high water. Dwellers near streams that aro not affectod by tho tido, but aro liablo to heavy froshets, often look for warning of high water to tho way tho muskruta build their houses in tho fall. If tho houses aro mado high abovo tho levol, it is a sure sign that thoro aro to bo floods somo time during tho season. "Tho interior of tho muskrat's dwolliug is warmly lined with dry grasses and leavos, and frequently as as many as half a dozen muskrats will inhabit ono house. Tho reason that this wiso little auimal in constructing its dwelling enginoors so that its ground floor and tho tunnel aro always undor water is that thereby it bus an exit in oaso an enemy assail its house, and an ontranoo if au onemy pursuo, which is hidden from sight, and lends greatly to tho safoty of tho muskrat in either case. But tho iastiuct of tho animal doos not warn it ngaiust tho traps that its greatest and most per sistent enemy places at this hidden entranco and exit, changing it from away to liberty and safety to a path way to certain death. "During tho day tho muskrat ro mains hidden in its house, unless tho day is cloudy and dark. At night it goos forth to feed on tho juicy roots of wntcr grasses and plants. Tho muskrat is duiuty at its meals, and will not put its mouth to a root until it washes nway every partiolo of mud from it. A great many muskrats aro killed on moonlight nights by huuters who hide on tho bauks and lio in wait for tho littlo fur bearers as they como out of tho water and prepare for feeding. But the wooden traps are what reap the biggest crop of muskrats. The traps aro placed at tho tunnel ontrancos of tho animals' dwellings, and whethor tho muskrat is going out to feed or has boon out and is coming home, it swims into tho trap jnst the samo. If this animal when caught had time, it could easily gnaw its way out of [tho trap, but beforo that can bo accomplished the muskrat drowns. A whole colony of muskrats may bo takou iu a single trap in quo night, and tho trapper who lias out many of tho traps is sure to gather a rich yield ovory night. It is not an uncommon thing for a Maryland musk ratter to oapturo 100 pelts of a night. "On windy days a great many of these animals aro killed by spoaring. The muskrat has a most acute sense of hearing, and the craoking of a dry flag lyaf a liundreil yards away on u still day is suflloiont to alarm a honso ful of tho rats and send thora soamper ing Out into tho water for safoty. When tho wind blows strong and at high tide tho muskrattcr arms himself with a gig, tho long iron tires of which will roach from top to bottom of tho muskrat's nost. Approaching a nest with great caution, ngainst tho wind, tho hunter jabs his spear into it. Cud dled togcthor in tho upper part of tho houso may bo half a dozen muskrats. Leaving tho spour sticking in tho nest, tho muskrattcr knooks tho roof off. Frequently ho will find tliroo or moro muskrats impaled on his spear. "Another profitable method of tak ing, tho muskrat, and ono that has many elements of good sport in it, is the shooting of the animals at night. Tho hunters courso in bonts slowly along tho stroams or bayous, some times throwing a light ahead olfchom from a jack, but generally trusting to thoir own trained eyes nud tho light of the stars and moon. They detect in stantly tho ripple on tho water that botrays the swimming muskrat, and it is seldom that the report of u gun does not mean a muskrat less. "Soasonß of unusual tides and floods are best for tho hunters and trappers, for then tho mnskrats are forcod to loavo their dwellings in spito of tho instinct they aro alleged to have in guarding against just such a calamity, and they aro compelled to seek safety in tho open country. Their hiding places aro easily found, and they aro slaughtered by day aud night." WISE WORDS. A singed cat dreads the cold. Time is but a frecklo on the face of eternity. Economy may bo as nnwise as ex travagance. It is a doubtful felicity, that of "reverenoing." No promise is as certain as the thing promised. The most merciless of all masters is the unrelenting past. Becauso a woman trusts a man is no sign that ho should be trusted. A great naturo is always digniflod and beyond tho reach of satire. A man may win a woman on "moon shine," but he can't maintain her on it. A man never learns how to step on the tack of adversity with comfort to himself. Cupid isn't any more liko tho pic tures wo seo of him than Courtship is liko marriugc. Truth is mighty and will prevail unless superior inducements are offered the other way. Labor has been said to conquer nil things, but it has not been able to subdue the tramp. Tho worldly prosperity of a wicked man is a chariot in which he rides to ruin nil the faster. It requires more work to clean a store once a month than it does to keep it clean all the time. Some people aro not satisfied with tho horn of plenty, but they want tho hide, hoofs and tallow, also. Money elevates many who, on account of mediocrity, would, if not affluent, remain in obscurity. Let no man awo you. Naturo may in her stupendous forms; but no man who must dio and decompose as you must. Story ol tlio Gravels. Somo ten thousand or more years ago tho conditions which had brought about tho Great Ico Ago wero begin ning to change; tho elevated land began to sink, and a higher tempera ture slowly followed. Tho long win ter was gradually drawing to u oloso, and tho groat spring timo of the world was beginning to hasten its influence upon an iee-eovored land. Tons, rather mountains, uf ieo begau to melt, and tho water filled tho river valleys to overflowing; gravel, sand and mud wero borne nlong by theso raging waters and dopositod wbonover tho conditions wore favorable. leo rafts covered tho surfaoe of the flood, bearing rocks and boulders from moro northern lands. All rivers which had glaoial souroos wero tsreatty inuttenood by tho final melting. As tho southern part of tho ice-sheet rested over Northern Pennsylvania, the Delawnro and tho Susquehanna were typical rivers of the age; the rocks and gravols which Hue their banks show how woll they havo kept tho record. In tho Delaware Valloy briok-clay nud gravel aro laid out in bountiful terraces, especially nt Stroudsburg uud the Water Gap; hero tho waters roso somo two liundrod foe', and an artificial dam is supposed to havo formed tho river into n broad lake. Tho Indiuns, it is said, bave a curious legend about this flood ; thoy tell us that tho "Minsies" wore tho first raoo which dwolt here, and tho rogion round about tboy call "Minisink," meaning that tho "wators are gone"— a vague remombraueo, perhaps, of tho post-glacial floods.—Lippincott.

AN INVESTIGATION DEHANDED. A general banking business is done by the human system, because the blood de posits in its vaults whatever wealth we may gain from day to day. This wealth is laid up against "a rainy day " as a reserve fund —we're in a condition of healthy prosperity if we have laid away sufficient capital to draw upon in the hour of our greatest need. There is danger in getting thin, because it's a sign of letting down in health. To gain in blood is nearly always to gain in whole some flesh. The odds are in favor of the germs of consumption, grip, or pneumonia, if our liver be inactive and our blood im pure, or if our flesh be reduced below a healthy standard. What is required is an increase in our germ-fighting strength. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery enriches the blood and makes it wholesome, stops the waste of tissue and at the same lime builds up the strength. A medicine which will rid the blood of its poisons, cleanse and invigorate the great organs of the body, vitalize the system, thrill the whole being with new energy and make permanent work of it, is surely a remedy of great value. But when we make a positive statement that 98 per cent, of all cases of consumption can, if taken in the early stages of the disease, be CUR F.D with the 'Discovery," it seems like a bold assertion. All Dr. Pierce asks is that you make a thorough investigation and satisfy yourself of the truth of his assertion. By sending to the World's Dispensary Med ical Association, Buffalo, N. Y., you can get a free book with the names, addresses and photographs of a number of those cured of throat, bronchial and lung diseases, as well as of skin and scrofulous affections by the "Golden Medical Discovery."
