HE GOT THE GOODS.
A Bnfiinosa Derel Between Potter
Palmer end A. T. Stewart.
"At tlic time of the civil war," said
an old merchant, "Potter Palmer was
in the dry goods business in Chicago,
and Levi Z. Leiter and Marshall Field
were working for him. Palmer wasn't
so well known, but he had a good reputation
in the trade, and he didn't have
to introduce himself when he called on
old A. T. Stewart to buy some goods.
After some dickering they agreed upon
the price, and Palmer calmly said that
he would take about .$100,000 worth.
It was a little larger bill than Stewart
exactly cared to sell young Palmer on
credit, but he concluded to make the
deal and told him to come in the next
morning and arrange some linal details.
That night some big war news
came, ami it didn't require any declaration
by the government to inform every
dry goods man in the country that
the price of goods would take a big
spurt up. Stewart recognized it as soon
as he had the news, and he Immediately
thought of Palmer. He also thought
of the big bill of goods Palmer had
bought of him. It didn't particularly
tickle Stewart, that thought didn't.
But it required only a few scratches
of his red head to fix things to his satisfaction.
He would simply tell Palmer
that he was sorry, but that he
didn't feel that he could sell such a
big bill on credit, and as he knew that
Palmer couldn't raise the cash immediately,
why, that would end it, and
the sale would be off. Well, young
Palmer called early, and Stewart
greeted him in his very abruptcst manner,
telling him how sorry he was, etc.,
but really he didn't think it wise business
to extend credit for such an
amount.
44 'Just how much does the bill come
to?' said young Palmer, seemingly sorrowful-like.
44 'Just $110,000,' Stewart replied, and
then he straightway gulped for breath
as young Palmer drew an immense
pocketbook from Ills inside vest pocket
and, opening it. counted out 110 thousand
dollar bills and. laying them quietly
on Stewart's desk, said: 'If you will
kindly count them and give me a receipt.
I'll be obliged, as I must take the
next train home. Ship the goods soon
as you can. and when you're out our
way drop in. Always glad to see our
friends.' "?New York Times.
AROUND THE HOUSE.
If marks and stains are on papered
walls, try French chalk on a piece of
dry bread gently rubbed in.
To keep hardwood floors smooth and
clean rub them with waste and warm
paraffin oil and polish with dry waste.
Muslin curtains may be rendered less
inflammable by rinsing them in alum
water?two ounces cf alurn to one gallon
of water.
To clean mirrors dip a cloth in methylated
spirits and rub on the mirror.
Allow it to dry 011 before polishing with
a soft duster.
Galvanized iron pails for drinking
water should not be used. The zinc
coating is rapidly acted upon by the
water, forming a poisonous oxide of
zinc.
Make a splendid furniture polish by
taking a wineglassful of olive oil, one
of vinegar and two tablespoonfuls of
alcohol; apply with a soft cloth and
polish with flannel.
Rugs, mats or carpets can be cleaned
thoroughly by generously sprinkling on
them yellow cornmeal that has been
well dampened in clean soapsuds or
weak ammonia water. Sweep off in a
few minutes.
Sensatory Transmission.
It has been found that sensation is
not absolutely instantaneous, but that
a very minute time elapses as it travels
along the nerves. Therefore, if a person
put his finger to a heated iron or
in the blaze of a candle there is a certain
almost inconceivably small space
of time, say the one-thousandth part of
a second, before the brain knows of
the burn. Now. suppose a man with
an arm long enough to reach the sun.
From the known rate of sensatory
transmission that man would have to
live more than luO years after touching
the great luminary before he would
know that his fingers had beeu
scorched!
Tf rinnT<lT
A man who was called 0:1 to address
a Sunday school in a Pennsylvania
town took the familiar theme of the
children who mocked Elijah 011 his
journey to Bethel?how the youngsters
taunted the poor old prophet, and how
they were punished when the two she
bears came out of the weed and ate
forty-two of them. '"And now, children,"
said the speaker, wishing to
learn if his talk had produced any
moral effect, "what does this story
show ?"
"Please, sir," came from a little girl
well down in front, "it shows how
many children two she bears can hold!''
