THE ARGUMENT OF i is "UlALITY"0 appeals to more people than the argument of price: in other words, quality lingers in the mind longer after price is forgotten. The Ladies of Clarendon are to remem ber with pleasure the satisfactory wear an article has Z given: on the other hand, they will never forget how they was deceived in the purchase of some trash by the allure ment of price: they know that any price, however small. Daid for the maximum of quality at the minimum of price has been, for years, the key-note and principle of our C business "QUALITY" is the most essential requisite to good, saleable merchan E dise is 'Quality"-"Quality" of the highest degree. The a "Quality" of an article is that elemen-t which disting- a uishes it from other goods of the same nature.

Har WaPTer, SinFes Lath.Rfig What's In a Label. There is a good deal of art in adver tUsing, and It has to be adapted to the pliblic it seeks to meet. Edward Reeves in "Brown Men and Women' makes clear that what attracts the American market may not serve that purpose in the islands of the south seas. He tells an experience which a rood firm had with one of those. sea irt c'Pmunities. The natives get very tired of fish, but are fond of anned beef, which they buy when wver they have money. That they are aothing more than children in their deas the traders find out to their cost [f they are not careful. An exporter f canned meat was nearly ruined by :linging to the trademark of a drag ;n's head. Shipment after shipment was sent.out from San Francisco, each :an branded with the flaming dragon. rhe natives shuddered at the sight of he hideous thing. They were not go Eng to eat the disgusting beast. In rain the agents tbre off the labels; the atives were suspicious and would not uy. The whole shipment had to be eturned and put in fresh cans with a 'at ox or sheep on the label. All the 2atives fully believed that the figure n the label was a true picture of what was inside. Persuasion. Dr. A. is a specialist in nervous all nents. In his most successful cases 'persuasion" has played an important -ole. Six-year-old Frank has evident y had. opportunity to imbibe his fa :her's views on the efficacy of persua dion. which. Dr. A. contends, appeals :o the highest psychic functions. It was only a few mornings ago that \Irs. A. overheard an altercation in :he kitchen between Master Frank and :he cook. Mary's voice rose in loud >rotestations. Mrs. A. hastened to the ;cene and arrived just in time to see ier son seize a convenient broom and :hreaten Mary. "Why. Frank." she exclaimed in iorrified amazement. "what are you loing?" But Frank was equal to the occa ;ion. "I'm just trying to persuade ary for some angel cake," he ex ylained in a matter of fact way. If this treatment may not have ap )ealed to Mary's highest psychic func ons it at any rate tickled her sense >f humor. Frank gained his point. Cew York Times. A Woman Soldier. Eleonore Prochaska, born March 11, .785. at Potsdam, was the daughter of t sergeant. After being brought up In he. military orphanage of that town ;he became a cook in some citizen's iouse. When the great war against apoleon broke out in 1813 she was ed away by.enthusiasm to quit her own secretly. By selling her poor be ongings she procured male attire and. veapons and enlisted under the name >f August Renz in the Lutzow corps. )n account of her tall, slender figure ir sex was not discovered until she ras mortally wounded. This happened n the encounter in the Gohrde forest, tegierungsbezirk, Luneburg. Krels )annenberg, Sept. 16, 1813. The Prus lans were there attempting to storm hill occupied by the French, she act ng as a drummer. In 1863 a monu nent in memory of her was erected in he churchyard at Dannenberg and an >ther in 1889 in'the old churchyard of ~otsdam.-London Sketch. Stone Eaters. Sir James Ross in the course of his ravels noted a curious fact with re ~ard to the penguin--namely, the habit f swallowing stones. In one speci nen he' found ten pounds weight of ~uartz, granite and trap. Other a nals, reptiles, fishes and mammals ex tibit the same strange fancy. In a aper contributed to the proceedings f the Bristol Naturalists' society W7. . Wicks has collected a number of ats connected with such stomach tones. The fact noted by Mr. Wicks hat the pebbles are usually white uartz Is interesting, but does not ap ear to throw any light on the strange abit-London Globe. A Rude Youth. "How do you account for this, na'am?" And he held aloft a lump of oal which he had just dug out from he sirloin steak. The landlady slightly flushed. I suppose the poor cows sometimes tray along the railroad track," she aid. "But you must admit the steak s tender." He thumped the coal v:.ith his knife. "Yes," he said harshly, "locomotive ender." And the meal progressed in silence. -Cleveland Plain Dealer. Concrete. Concrete Itself is, of course, very ild. The concrete stairs of Colchester und Rochester castles still show the narks of the Incasing boards. The tome of Agrippa's pantheon, which Is .2 feet in diameter, Is of concrete, nd fragments of concrete buildings re found in Mexico and Peru.-Lon lon Spectator. Wealthy Poverty. There are still many houses in the ountry in England where the owners ure uconscious of the fact that, while hey themselves are apparently poor, hey possess fortunes in furniture and ctures.-Town and Country.

Every man who rises to any profes don must tread a path more or less edewed by the tears of those he asses on his way.-Bayne. Up Before the Bar. N. H. Brown, an attorney, of Pitts eld, Vt., writes: "We have used Dr. ing's New Life Pills for years and find hbem such a good family medicine we nouldn't be without't~hem." For Chills. 3nstipation, Billiousness or Sick Head Lhe they worig wonders. At all drug. psts. Nietzsche and the Invatt. An invalid lady who often met itetzsche found hitm the gentlest, kind. rst and most sypmathetic of men. He implred her with tears In his eyes not to read his books." Such was his knowledge of women that he was thunderstruck to find shortly after ward that the lady at once proceeded to read them all. He was further stupefied by the discovery that. hay ing read them, she was utterly un moved by the philosopher's unanswer able demonstrations that feeble per sons like herself bad no right to live and that women were distinguished by this. that and the other objectionable attribute. It must have been a blow to bm-Tmnn News. He Obeyed. Murat Halstead, the great journalist of war times, went to General William T. Sherman's headquarters once for the "latest news from the front." Hal stead was armed with many fine intro ductory letters, but decided to rely mainly on one given him by Thomas Ewing, Sherman's brother-in-law. He found the general and presented Ewing's letter. The general opened it somewhat impatiently, read a few lines, folded it and said: "Ah, you come from Ewing, and you desire to have 'all the latest news,' the 'next probable move' of our army, eh? Well, there's a train leaving this town for Cincinnati at 2 o'clock. Here, take this ticket and step over there and get your dinner and then get on that train." "Well, but, General Sherman"- be gan the newspaper man. But Sherman waved him off. "Go over and get a good dinner. We have plenty and always strive to treat our friends wel. But be sure you don't mizs that 2 o'clock train!" And Halstead obeyed. Japanese Delicacies. Under the head of "Japanese Delica cies" the Berlin Prometheus gives a list of some of the queer things which are served to citizens of the Flowery Kingdom who "have a refined taste." In the provinces which are so distant from the sea that fresh fish cannot be obtained readily, and where meat is not abundant, snakes and lizards are considered good food and are prepared in many ways. Grasshoppers rank among the real delicacies. They are always kept in captivity without food for a day, then bathed and decapitated and made legless. Heads and legs must be torn off, never cut. They are served in various ways, but dry, with a salad dressing, is the most popular. An Insect of tLe bee family which lives in the earth is also much sought. This is served with sugar or honey whev eaten raw, but it is also made into a porridge. The chrysanthemum exists not only in the poetry and art of the Japanese, but has an important place on the table: where it is met as salad, candy and stew. The Right Hand Seats. The Philadelphia Record quoted an observant street car conductor to the effect that the right hand seats are al ways filled first. He could not account for this except on the theory that, as most persons are right handed and ac customed to turning to the right, It might be simply force of habit. "There is another probable reason which he did not think of," says the Record. "It Is generally believed that the right side of a car is safer. An old traveler once said to the writer: 'In traveling always sit In the middle I of a car and on the right band side. The middle is safer than the ends in a collision, and the right side Is not likely. to be "side swiped" by project lng objects on trains, cars or any ve hicles passing on the adjacent track.' Observations on Baldheads. "If you care to observe the bald headed row," remarked the theater goer, "you will find that there is great rariety in baldheads. There are ellip tical bald spots, circular bald spots, elongated egg shaped bald spots, bald spots that are almost square and bald spots whose shape can hardly be de scribed for the reason that they In lude the entire circumference of the head, with the exception perhaps of a slight row of finishing fringe between the head and the neck. If It wasn't for the baldheads the theater would be a bore before the rising of the curtain." -New York Press. A Remarkable Race. The Lapps are very fond of stimu latng drinks. They think nothing of drinking fifteen or twenty cups of "of fee a day, while their consumption of punch is on a vast scale- it is nio un common thing to see numbers of help lessly drunk natives in the streets of Tromso, especially when the sale of reindeer flesh has been profitable. Yet robbery and, indeed, crime in- general are practically unknown among them. The Innate honesty of the people Is quite extraordinary.-Wide World Mag azine. .The Label Failed. Gunner-You can't get the best of those blamed baggage smashers. I labeled my trunks "China" and thought they would handle them with unusual care. Guyer-And did the'y? Gunner-No, but blamed if they didn't ship the trunks all the way to Shanrg ha, and I haven't seen them since. Chicago News. A Slander.. Every time a. girl wants to-~ find any thing in her top bureau drawer she gets a stick and stirs everything in the drawer round and round. If what she is looking for doesn't come to the sur face, then she is satisfied it isn't there. -Atchison Globe. Intuition. "What became of that rich uncle of yours?" "I think he's dead, but I don't know." "Gee! How did he lose all his. money ?'-Cleveland Leader. The Example. Professor (lecturing on hygiene)-To bacco, gentlemen, makes men ugly, short winded, idiotic, paralytic, and I can tell you this from experience, for I have smoked for many years!" Why, indeed ? Mrs. Meeker-Wake up, John! I hear a noise downstairs. I'm sure there are burglars in the house. Meeker-Nousense, my dear! Why should burglars want to~ make a noise? People past middle life usually have some kidney or bladder disorder that sas the vitality, which is naturally lower in old age.~ Foley's Kidney Rem edy corrects urinary troubles, stimulates the kidneys, and restores strength and vigor. It cures uric acid troubles by strenthening the kidneys so they will strain out the uric acid that settles in the muscles and joints causing rheuma tism. W. E. Brown & Co. Much Like Demosthenes. "Woman." lie said, "really ought to be a better orator than man." "Why so?" she asked. "Because," he replied, "to a certain extent at least she~ foll.w~s the meth ods of that famed orator Demos thenes." "In what way?" she inquired, still busy with the finishing touches of her toilet. "You remember," he answered, "that Demosthenes used to practice talking I.with his mouth full of pebbles." She hastily took the pins out of her mouth and informed him that he was Ia mean old thing anyway.-New York Times. The Yorkshireman. There is a characteristic glimpse of Yorkshire "downrightness" in the pub lished reminiscences of an English clergyman: At my institution to Upham a re tired colonial bishop, about to take an English benefice. said: "Well. you and I have worked both in north a-nd south. In what points do you consider _ that they differ?" "Oh. my lord." I answered. "I can soon tell you that. If a Yorkshireman thinks you a fool he comes and tells you so to your face. Down here they go and tell somebody else." "You have exactly hit it," said the bishop. "The difference could not be better described." Yorkshire regard for the pocket the aforesaid clergyman illustrates in this anecdote: A groom being asked how long he lived in the south replied, "Twenty years." "What! Have you, a York shireman. lived twenty years down here and not made your fortune?" "Eh," answered the man, "but meas ther were Yarkshire too." "I'd Rather Die, Doctor, than have my feet cut off," said M. L. Bingham, of Princeville. Ill., "but you'il die from gangrene (which had eaten away eight -oes) if you don't," said all doctors. Inste-d he used Bucklen's Ar nica Salve till wholly cured. It cures of Eczema, Fever Sores, Boils, Burns and Piles asround the world. 25c. at all druggists. Golf in High Altitudes. It Is strarge how many golfers there are who fail to appreciate the great effect the density of atmosphere has on the flight of a golf ball. On a still, misty day the ball flies about five yards to ten yards less than it does on a frosty day, when the air is keener and more rarefied, and it is always tated-whether truly or not is un known-that in an east wind the ball flies farther than it does when the wind blows from the opposite and more acceptable quarter. The writer was fortunate, or unfortunate, enough: to play many rounds a few years ago on the Johannesburg links in South Africa. These links are situated some 0,000 feet above sea level, and the .air is wonderfully rarefied. The ball con sequently flew the most surprising dis tance. As proof of this the winner of a driving competition sent a ball a arry of 22S yards, the second player returning the modest distance of 223 yards. Yet neither of these two play ers could approach the driving capa bilities of good amateur golfers. Country Life. Swept Over Niagara.

In .the tropics of Mexico, where S torrential rains fall a' part of each year, raincoats are a very necessary part of man's apparel. Owing to the intense heat which prevails. in the smmer -season the ordiary rubber raincoat cannot be worn. A rainproof coat Is made from native grasses and" Is worn by the men of the middle A and upper classes. The grasses are o woven close together, and It is- impos- m sible for the rain to beat throngh at them, no matter how hard the storm lv may be. Some of these coats are a made with a hood which protects the b~ head aswell as the body. 2 One Was .Enough. n -Papa, why didn't you wear a pair b( last night?" "A pair of what, child?' of "A pair of skates." "What does the boy meanu?' "Why, Bill, the coachman, told the - cook that you had a lovely skate on last night when you came home."-Ex. change. -___ Walking Under a Ladder. A correspondent of the Boston Globe gives this explanation of the be old. superstition against walking under at a ladder: "In former days. when hang- gi ing was done after a more primitive w] and simple fashion than it is today, til the victim had generally to pass under sb the ladder which stood against the gal- tO lows for the convenience of the execu tion, and he passed under that ladder_ with the fair certainty of being Imme diately hanged. What the unhappy criminal could not avoid the average pedestrian avoids today, even at the expense of his polished boots, by turn ing into the roadway." Prescribes Dr. Blosser's Catarrh Remedy.
