^tumorous department. A FAIR EXCHANGE. He slid quietly into a Jeffersou avenue hardware store yesterday forenoon, unrolled a paper on the counter, and as he held up a patent door spring he said: "I buy him two days ago, und I like to oxchange him for a whetstone." "What's the matter?" "Vhell, I can't make him fit on my screen door." "Why, that's the easiest thing in the world. See here: this end screws on the door, and that end on the casing." "I tried him dot vhay, und he doan' work." "When it is on you take this metal pin and turn the spring. See the holes there ?" "T Hnoo Hnf whoir nnd mv ?prppn ilnnr flies open." "You turned the wrong way." "I turns him eafery way. Sometimes der door vhas wide open, und all der flies in Michigan go in, und sometimes he vash shut oop so tight I can't get in my own house. I begin on him in der morning, und I doan' leave off till night, but he won't work right." "That's curious. What tools did you have ?" "I used a hammer und screw-drifer und cold-shisel und saw und auger und crow-bar und lots of more, but he doan' spring for me. My wife works at him, too, und my hired man he lose half a day, und I vash discouraged. I guess I trade him for a whetstone." "Well, I'll exchange with you, but I'm sure I can show you how to adjust it." "I guess I doan' try any more. You see, my life vhas short und I can't spare so mooch time mit machinery. If I get a whetstone I doan' haf to screw him on nor turn him around. Dere vhas no pins or ratchets in his stomach. He vhas all right both ends oop. Maype he doan' keep oudt flies, but he makes no troubles fer me." The exchange was made, and the man went away light-hearted, calling back from the door: "I can make oudt a whetstone all right, und I vhas obliged mit you. A whetstone winds oop only one vhay." They Met, They Spoke, They Parted.?a Detroiter who was working across one of the northern counties with a horse and buggy this summer met a farmer on foot and asked him how far it was to Greenville. "Which one ?" was the query after half a minute in reflection. "Why, I didn't know that there was but one Greenville." "Didn't you ? There's one in South Carolina, a second in Kansas, a third in Ohio and a fourth in Iowa. Which one do you want to go to ?" "The nearest one." "Well, that's aboutseven miles off. Next time you inquire for Greenville, you'd better name the State. Got any tobacco ?" "Which tobacco do you want?" "Why, I didn't know as there was more'n one tobacco." "Oh ! yes, there is. There's plug tobacco, flne-cnt, shorts and smoking. Which do you want?" "Well, I'll take plug." "I haven't got any. Next time you inquire for tobacco you'd better mention the kind." The two looked at each other for over a minute and then separated for life.?Detroit Free Press. Sentiment and Hard Prose.?He was rather sentimental, and he and his friend were in the park. A little way off two laJ 1ITOO uies were statcu. vuo ui mem nao tcij pensive and extremely pretty. She was resting her cheek on her hand, and her eyes were full of far off contemplation. "She's pretty, isn't she ?" said he. "By Jove, I'm falling in love with that girl. I wonder who that fellow is she is thinking about? I say, wouldn't it be pleasant to think a pretty girl like that could sit and dream about you as she is dreaming about somebody? Let's walk past and have a look at her." So they walked slowly past. The maiden was still wrapt in contemplation, and as they passed, her companion said, quite distinctly: "Now, Emily, this is all foolishness. Let's go into Dr. 'sand let him take the tooth out.?San Francisco Chronicle. ? ? Fair Clara's Dream.?"Well, Bobby," said young Featherly, as the former entered the store, "what can I do for you this morning? And how is everything up at B the house ?" W "All right, I guess. I heard sister Clara f tell ma that she dreamed about you last ' night." "Is that so," whispered Featherly, bending over the counter. "And what did your ma say?" "She said that Clara must have eaten something what didn't agree with her. I want to get a spool of No. GO cotton and a dozen bone collar buttons."--#. Louis WTiip. The Remembrance Was Too Pleasant.?"Yes," said Blobbs proudly, "I've got a good memory. I never forget even little things. Now you may not recollect it, Dobbs, but I borrowed $1.50 of you two years ago. I suppose you've forgotten all about it now, but I haven't." "I confess," said Dobbs, "that I had forgotten it till you spoke of it. But see here, Blobbs, now you speak of it, why wouldn't this be a good time to pay it back?" "Oh, no, my dear boy, don't talk about it," returned Blobbs. "Really, I couldn't think of it. I take too much pride in remembering it." A gentleman who had been in town only three days, but who had been paying attention to a prominent belle, wanted to propose but was afraid he would be thought too hasty. He delicately broached the subject as follows: "If I were to speak to you of marriage, after having only made your acquaintance three days ago, what would you say of it?" "Well, I should say, 'Never put off till to-morrow that which you should have done day before yesterday.'" Was Married Himself.?"Do you realize, sir" said a long-haired passenger, "that there is One who sees and hears all we do, who can solve our inmost thoughts, and before whom we are but crushed and bruised worms?" "Give us your hand stranger," replied the other. "I know just how you feel. I'm married myself."?New York Sun. A husband reading, while his wife sat near him embroidering a pair of slippers, remarked: "What surprises there are in statistics. A German physician affirms and proves by figures that half of the female sex are touched with insanity." "He is right," replied the wife dryly, "for more than half the women prove it by getting | married." A Bad Break.?"Yes," said the chair- j man, sadly, "our temperance meeting last night would have been more successful if the lecturer hadn't been so absent minded." "What did he do?"

PACTS ABOUT OUR POOD. e The old saying that "wonders never h cease," finds an illustration to-day in trade, P and some of the trade happenings nowa- S days are so astonishing that we cannot S bear comment. Most of these are due to d steam, and its twin genii, electricity. An A illustration was found in a recent instance r'1 where, to relieve the over-stocked Califor- vi nia syrup market, a shipment was made by sailing vessels from San Francisco to New g York. When the vessels arrived there the b New York market was so low that a por- v tion of the same syrup was reshipped by tl rail to uaiiiorma ana soia tnere hi a pronu "Sending coals to Newcastle" is discounted every day. Peaches are now shipped from the Pa- j? cific coast to New York by rail, thus antieipating Eastern growths. During the w past winter eggs were imported from Liv- J erpool and cabbage from Holland and Ger- " many, while potatoes from famine-stricken ^ Ireland are not uncommon in this market. c Whenever the least scarcity prevails in any ft market the news is flashed to the point of supply?under the ocean and around the s world even?and steam hurries supplies n wherever demand prevails. Steam and v electricity have become great levelers of ? values, not only in commodities, but in the value of the land which supplies those com- 0 modifies. The land question in Great u Britain and Ireland began when steam was c harnessed and laid down the products of n our ferti le farms alongside those less favored a in the British Isles. The wonders wrought a by the locomotive crowd so fast upon us s that they seem more like romance than re- s ality. Twenty years ago Minnesota and a California imported their bread-stuffs. To- J3 wicjr caj;uii uiuic liiuii auj mimwu in the Union. ^ Florida sends us green corn in the ear in v May, and our strawberry season lasts nearly " the year round, Florida beginning the supply in January, and Canada and Manitoba finishing up in October. Of course the principal markets chiefly profit by these wonders in transportation; afid the conven- 8 iences and luxuries there found constantly a tend to concentrate population in vast mass- " es and make the great cities the trade en- ' trepots of the world. Here capital also . accumulates; surplus stocks of merchandise are everywhere consigned to the great cen- P tres, advanced upon by their capital, and there held awaiting purchasers. The vol- J1 ume of goods thus accumulated makes these centres the great bargain marts, and goods are being constantly thrown upon the markets by forced sales at figures which in ^ themselves are one of the trade wonders ; above mentioned. g A STRANGE COUNTRY. u Visiting innumerable springs, we passed I the base of a mountain about one-third of a q mile long and three hundred feet high, the S( side of which was honey-combed with smok- j] ing and steaming openings so close together and the crust so thin that even the Maoris ? dare not venture to climb the hillside. n Leaving this remarkable place, which is suggestive of a traditional region where un- n quietspirits are remanded, we passed a cave, 5 the entrance to which was formed by two j, large stone posts and a heavy stone cap, and f, the interior walled up similarly ; it was quite small and very pleasantly warm, and p is said to have been the birthplace of some g distinguished Maori chief. fj One of the features of these remarkable j( springs and geysers, was a boiling spring a about eight feet in diameter, in a rock recess, jy which seemed indisposed to perform while we were there, but after several false alarms ^ and waiting about twenty minutes, it burst u forth with a volume of boiling water sever- s( al feet in diameter?throwing itself fifteen jr to twenty feet in the air?making us, anxious waiters, beat a hasty retreat into the ^ brush out of harm's way. Thence descending the hill to a sort of mud flat, we came rp into the valley of Rotokanapanapu, a re- e, gion of mud volcanoes, native and dead, tl presenting a deplorable condition of irrita- ^ ted dry and wet mud and dirt in all forms. w There was the same gurgling, vomiting and spewing that we saw in other places. sj One of these mud volcanoes, Te Iluka, c( spews forth a very plastic and fine paste, tl which the natives eat and enjoy. It p tastes like flour paste, very slightly sweet- ci ened. I do not like itr and doubt if it is fattening. We were by this time quite hungry, but this edible mud did not tempt 01 us, and we moved on to the margin of 11 Lake Rotomahana, where lunch was waiting us. The Maoris had cooked potatoes " and fresh water crabfish for us in the steam j* of the boiling springs, covering the opening with cross sticks, placing the potatoes, etc., ^ on those and covering the whole with grass, c< which sufficiently confines the steam. I sat down on a flat stone, and, enjoying my c lunch and the surroundings, gave myself up to the quiet pleasure of the occasion, rJ when I felt an increasing warmth where I was sitting and suddenly had to spring ,r from my seat, an unexpected hurst of steam from under the rock giving me the hint to p leave. Lunch finished, we stepped into a n canoe of the flimsiest kind. The party con- tr sisted of ten whites and natives. All but w the paddlers squatted down in the bottom I p of the canoe, and brought the edge almost j ti to the level with the water.?San Francisco n Bulletin. j r< Natural Bridge of Virginia.?A v sudden turn to the right and directly ahead NV loomed up the Natural Bridge in bold and j rugged outlines against the western sky, u lightened with all the glories of the south- a ern sunset. Imagine an immense mass of ir solid rock, some forty-feet thick and fifty y feet broad, spanning a chasm seventy-five it feet in width at a height of 210 feet. On b; the eastern side is a jagged place where an j w immense mass of rock has fallen. When a it fell it is impossible to say, but it must have fallen centuries ago, as not a particle ej of debris remains in the chasm below. The rock is a bluish limestone streaked with j faint lines of white. The grain is very fine and firm, and one loses at first the im- j pressiveness and majestic grandeur of the , p bridge in speculating on the tremendous j t force that scooped out, as it were, the im- ' J mense mass of rock and earth that at some time filled the glen. ; n; On the under side of the bridge, and almost in the centre, the lichens and mosses oi have so grown as to almost perfectly repre- rc sent the American eagle with outstretched ni wings clasping the shield in his talons. I cc Well-authenticated records state that this ! w peculiar growth existed in the middle of the ! ^ eigtheenth century. Standing about 100 ai feet west of the bridge, and looking back ^ under it a well defined profile likeness of a young woman may be seen. From the di road above, the bridge can not be seen, nor ^ is there any indication of its existence, un- in less one leaves the roadway and goes about: twenty feet to the west. From this point ?! the small stream rushing through the glen | and under the bridge may be seen some 2o0 ! feet below.?Correspondence New York Star. | d si It Wasn't the Boy.?The ripe grapes . * lay temptingly outside a fruit store on ac Broadway and the little ragged boy looked ^ at them longingly, wishing to taste them, 1 tfc and wondering what they would taste like. J But he didn't steal any. It was a well-1 th dressed "lady" who did that. She came nh long, her eye-glass loosely held in her finers. She saw the grapes and dropped her ye-glasses as she halted. Then she changcl her reticule from her left to her right and, and indifferently stooped down and j laced her fingers on the largest of the ( rapes she could see. Her mouth was beinning to open to receive the fruit. Sudenly it closed tightly. The lady's cheeks . ushed. She picked up hereye-glass in her ! ight hand, and with her nose in the air : -alked grandly away from the store. A j ne wire network covered the basket of ! rapes, and the near-sighted woman had ( een deprived of one of the perquisites of roman-buyers. The ragged boy had seen fie netting.?New York Sun. A New Use for Nitro-Glycerine.? 'he Chicago Evening Journal of Thursday ' ublishes a case of remarkable resuscitation ] rom supposed death of a young married ? " ? tt on tn 1 \r oh rUlimil, lltvuicu 1UIS. 1 v/>1 uuv ? ist, Mrs. Frazer gave birth to a child, and n August, after several days' illness, was ronounced dead by the attending physi- 1 ian. I)r. Mark H. Lackersteen, who was lso attending Mrs. Frazer, says: "I did everything I could think of to retore life, without effect. Ten minutes lust have elapsed, although at the time I /as not in a position to watch the passage f timdt Then it suddenly struck me that 1 would like to try a hypodermic injection f the solution of nitro-glycerine. I took , p ten drops of it and let the supposed orpse have the full benefit of it. The first ainute there was not a pulsation, but just gasp, that was all. I looked at my watch nd there were four such gasps in almost ixty seconds, but there was no life. In the econd minute there were six respirations nd a slight heart pulse could be heard, but < ,o pulse could be felt. In the third minute here were eighteen respirations, and the iulse became distinctly perceptible at the /rist. In the fourth minute it was 180 and pward, so that it could not be counted, ler face flushed. Her eyes began to roll in heir sockets, all the muscles relaxed from he extreme stiffness of death, all contracions of the limbs gradually relaxed and he became conscious. In my opinion in 11 cases of shock or collapse this thing ught to be tried befor6 they are given over ar lost. There is nothing peculiar or sensaional about it at all. The only thing is I lave been the first person to try it. One ioint is that the solution of alcohol and niro-glycerine is a remedy which for some ittle time has been used for epilepsy and hingsof that sort, and for some forms of idney trouble also. It has effect on the , lood vessels. We give it in doses of one rop, drop and a half, two drops, or may be hree drops in some cases. We give it j tirough the mouth. It was never before iven hypodermically, so far as I am aware ntil I made the trial with success." The Dedication of the A. R. P. Ihurch.?Last Friday night the new As>ciate Reformed Presbyterian Church at (lis place was filled to overflowing to hear tie dedication sermon of the Rev. J. T. halmers, of Winnsboro. Several visiting linisters were present and assisted in the : evotional exercises. The services were pened with an invocation of the Divine lessing by Mr. Chalmers. After singag, Mr. Chalmers read some selections j om the Psalms. Rev. R. G. Miller then ' ;d the congregation in prayer, after which tev. W. A. M. Plaxco read the prayer of olomou at the dedication of the Temple ? om II Chronicles, 6th chapter. Then fol>wed the sermon from Romans 1,16?"I m not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ." Ir. Chalmers handled his text in a masterI manner, treating it under the following i eads: 1st. as a moral system ; 2d. as a speclative system; and third, as a remedial j ;heme. His conceptions were grand, be- < lg naturally deducted from the text; his ! lustrations pertinent. The sermon, upon le whole, was simply grand and to be ful- J r appreciated it must have been heard, he audience was charmed by his eloquence, , atertained by the magnificence of his loughts and edified by the gospel truth, .t the close of the sermon the congregation as led in prayer by Rev. W. G. White, of le G. A. Presbyterian Church. After nging an opportunity was afforded the jngregation for honoring the Lord with leir substance. The benediction was then ronounced by Rev.
