ISP THREE PER CENT. A MONTH. Aa fnpressive Lesson Tsox-it a Borrower by Peter Cooper. Peter Cocper, the great philanthropist of New York, -was one of the most successful, careful ami prudent business men of his time. He was strongly opposed to the methods of many merchants who launched out into ex- i travagant enterprises and borrowed money, for which they paid exorbitant rates of interest. The following anecdote illustrates the point forcibly: Once, while talking about a project Yrith an acquaintance, the latter said he would have to borrow the money for six months, paying interest at the rate of three per cent, per month. "Why do von horrnu- for so short a time?" Mr: Cooper asked. "Because I the brokers will not negotiate bills for longer." "Well, If you wish." said Mr. Cooper, will discount your note at that rate for three years." "Are you in earnest?" asked the would-be borrower. "Certainly I am. I will discount your Bote for $10,000 for three years at that rate. Will you do it?' "Of course I will," said the merchant. "Well," said Mr. Cooper, "just sign this note for $10,000, payable in three years, and give me your check for $800, and the transaction will be complete." "'But where is the money for me?" asked the astonished merchant. "Tou don't get any money," was the reply. "Your interest for thirty-six months at three per cent, per month amounts to 108 per cent., or $10,800. Therefore your check for $800 Just makes us even." The force of this practical illustration of the folly of paying such an exorbitant price for the use of money was such that the merchant determined never to borrow at such ruinous .rates, and he frequently used to say |?;. that nothing could have so fully cou ITloced him as this rather humorous proposal by Mr. Cooper.?MMerchant'i Journal.

"Have all the j pleasure of going away ami take your 1 i dresses in the bargain, leaving you to stay home and wear my old cloth-, s! I can't be quite that selfish, Georgie." Georgle laughed melodiously* Sbfe alwuys had such u pleasant, r.ppliug laugh?it sounded warm and sunny, just like her own sweet temper. "Now that's what I call 'straining at a gnat,'" said Georgie. with her ripe, red lips trying to pout, but quivering with smiles instead. "But here comes mamma. She shall settle that ! point." Poor, dear mamma turned her head, first to one impetuous daughter, then tb the other, sighing gently all the while. But to my great glee the decision was in my favor. "I wish you could have another new dress, dear Rose," said mamma, in her kindest tones; "but I don't see how we ean manage it." All this dispute may seem very trivial to the unconcerned, but to us, the Interested parties, it was of great importance. I was going on a journey? going to leave my home and travel alone for the first time in my life. We ?that is, mamma, Georgie and 1?lived on grandfather's farm, in rsew Hampshire. Mamma had a friend named Mrs. Wharton, who had been living in Boston for many years, and she had written to mamma begging that one of Ui might pay her a long visit Great was the debating as to which should accept the invitation. Georgie insisted that it was my prerogative. as I was Mrs. Wharton's ' namesake. I rather think our new minister had something to do ip making Georgie so persistently lefuse to go; for good and kind as Georgie was, she had never been qu'.te so active until young Mr. Partridge beamed upon j us, with his bright black eyes. How- j ever, it w*m't do to tell her secrets j without special permission. Mamma had given me a new gray gown for Sundays and visitings; 1 had also a white one for evenings, in case I should go to any parties. These, with j my two inorhing wrappers, were con- j sidered a very good outfit. Georgie had generously insisted on J my taking her new black alpaca, her j one best dress, and leave my brown j merino?my last winter's garment? j for her to wear on Sundays. But j Georgie was the soul of generosity, j and would beggar herself to do anyone a kindness. After much twisting and turning and discussions as to trimmings my wardrobe was considered finished and -i-i.u ?nH T omhirkpd on niV prtfstu IU LMC, aim J. ~ ? ?. journey. The ride was one of long delight for my passionate love of traveling had hitherto been very little gratified. As I stood in the railroad station at my journey's end. looking helplessly about me, a tall gentleman, with a handsome brown mustache, approached, and bowing with easy and polished grace, said in as inquiring tone: "Miss Rose, I presume?" I bowed in response, inwardly wondering if polite society required gentlemen to address ladies at first acquaintance by their Christian names. "My aunt Mrs. Wharton, has teen unexpectedly called away from home for a few hours, and has given me the j honor and pleasure of escorting you j to her house." he remarked. My second reply was auother bow. Again I was wondering who this nephew was. The gentleman looked at me curiously. Evidently he was beginning to think me dumb, so 1 found voice to say: "How is Mrs. Wharton?" "Very well, indeed, I thank you, and ' looking eagerly for your arrival." After we were seated in the carriage, which was far handsomer than my country experience had thought possible, the gentleman proceeded In his efforts for my entertainment "Do you wonder how I knew you, Miss Rose?" he asked. "Very much," I replied?not however, without qualms of conscience, as I had really not given it a thought. "I recognized you by your dress," he triumphantly responded.. I looked down at my bright merino, the subject at home of so much disputing, and felt an inward terror. Was the man a medium, clalrtoyant? Had he in spirit heard my conversation with Georgie? "My dress?" I gasped. "Yes. your dress. My aunt informed me that your traveling suit was brown." "Oh!" I faintly ejaculated, inwardly thinking how very strange in mamma to write to Mrs. Wharton concerning the dress, and feeling considerably vexed about it?so much so that the gentleman, judging from my flushed cheeks that thesubject was unpleasant, pursued it no further, to my great relief. Presently the carriage stopped before a large and handsome dwelling, and although I knew that Mrs. Wharton was in possession of a very comfortable income, I was not prepared for the elegance I encountered. My poor brown merino looked sadly out of place beside the rich crimson furniture and splendid mirrors, and had not Mrs. Wharton's nephews made strenuous efforts for ray entertainment, j I should have subsided into that most forlorn and dreary feeling?homesickness. "My anut begged that we should dine at the usual hour," said the gentleman, after I had divested myself of my wraps, "as she was afraid she would not be able to return before eight or nine o'clock; the friend she has gone j to see Is very 111?In fact dying?and Aunt Lizzie will probably* itay until all if orer" / "iiunt Lizzie?" I thought; has fthft discarded the name of Rose?" I remember, however, that her initio;* were R. E, W. The dinner was charming; my a|>petite was good. I never had dlspepsla in my life, and I ate the luxuriant food, so daintily prepared, With ftn ettjoyment that must hftve beOn quite amusing to my companion. About &n hour after we had tat down while we were leisurely partaking of our dessert and discussing the 1 rights of women, the butler handed a note to my vis-a-vis. After asking me to excuse him he opened and read. The look of surprise and consternation in his face was simply appalling. "Has anything happened to your aunt?" I timidly Inquired, feeling uncomfortable under the scrutinizing gaze of his dark gray ?ye?. "No, no?that Is, nothing of importance?hut I do not think she will be back tonight. But, Miss Rose?your name Is Miss Rose, is It not?" I put down the orange I was peeling and looked the amazement I felt. "My name is Miss Rose Terry," I replied, with na much dignity as I could assume. "Yes?certainly?I beg your pardon? but Miss Rose?Miss Terry, I mean*? you will make yourself Comfortable for the night?until my aunt returns, I should nay." confusion seemed very strange, after his late self-possession, but attributing it all to the contents of the note?alas, I did not then dream of the information it conveyed!?I endeavored to make the best of it. and told him not to be nnensy, as I had no doubt but that Mrs. Wharton would return early in the morning. Books and music formed the principal subjects of conversation during *!.?? fntinnra T JMI ffOflfl with Mrs tIIC 1T? UUUlo A ^moov.11 if i^u 4'** Wharton'8 nephew, and so pleasant and agreeable did he prove that I began to like hlui very much, and quite forgot my embarrassment at remaining so long alone with a Strang r. At breakfast next morning we chatted away like old friends, but when the meal was over my companion asked me to walk Into the library for a few moments. I compiled with his request, made rather gravely, feeling a sensation pass through me that something was going to happen. "Please be seated, Miss Terry," be began. "I regret that I am obliged to explain a very Strang? mistake?.ind I beg your pardon for keeping you in ignorance through last evening, but believe me, I did so only because I wished you to have a pleasaut and comfortable rest after your long journey." I could say nothing to this preparatory speech, for my heart was throbbing at such a furious rate I dared not trust my voice. "My aunt" he continued, "expected a lady friend, named Miss Annie Ro e, to arrive yesterday, and being talhd from home unexpectedly, she commissioned me to be her escort from the - I'vAnii ctofinn to thp house. She iaui vi?u ?-M4 v?\'u spoke of Miss Hose's traveling dress being brown, and hence my mistake In accosting yon. The note I received last evening apprised me of my error, for in it Aunt Lizzie Informed me that Miss Rose, learning of the illness of Mrs. Talmage, had arrived by an earlier train and gone directly to the house of Mrs. Talmage, so that she might see her friend once more while alive. If you will accept my apologies for causing you this inconvenience and delay In your plans I will truly grateful for your forbearance and will do all In my power to rectify my mistake as speedily as possible." What coukl I say? He was so sincerely sorry I could not find fault with him. With hot cheeks I explained my part in the misunderstanding. "My friend Is Mrs. Rose Wharton. She lives on Charles street. If you?" "I will deliver you safely Into her hands, Miss Terry," he Interrupted, "and will immediately order the carriage. But first I must thank you for your goodness in so readily granting pardon for my inadvertance." When we arrived at Mrs. Rose Wharton's door he turned to me, and, taking my hand, said: "Miss Terry, you have shown me great mercy. Will you add to your favors one more kindness, and grant me permission to call this evening and renew the acquaintance which although commenced under such untoward circumstances, has yet afforded me much happiness?" The look which accompanied these words was so beseeching that my heait yielded and I murmured an almost Inaudible "Yes," which favor he ac knowledged by a slight pressure or my hand. Mrs. Wharton and I had a hearty laugh over my ndvetiture, and when he called that eTening she was completely charmed with both his manner and appearance. The acquaintance, commenced so strangely, progressed rapidly, and before my visit was half over I had good reason to hug my old brown merino with a grateful heart for being the unconscious means of bringing me so much happiness. I afterward had the pleasure of seeing Miss Annie Rose's brown suit Need I say it was far superior to mine as a brand new three-dollar-a-yard material could be to a seventy-five-cent merino which was in its second season? "Never mind," said my lover, as I pointed out the difference, "you shall have as many ruffles and flounces as you like hereafter, but this brown dress is simply perfect, for it contains Rose." B?ti Feed on Elephuti' Feet. Visitors to the Central park zoo in New York City the other day noticed that the feet of the elephants?Tom and Jewel?were badly torn.

Kaiser's Rebuke of aa Officer. According to a story circulated In Berlin, the Emperor appeared at 6 o'clock one morning most unexpectedly at the barracks of a dragoon regiment. The soldiers were ready for manoeuvres, but the commanding officers had not yet arrivel. The Emperor waited half an hour, when the delinquent arrived. His feelings at the sight of his sovereign can better be imagined than described. But the Emperor did not say a word. He assisted at the manoeuvres, made several observations, as usual, and finally left without addressing a word to the officer at fault, who considered himself lost, and who went home in despair and awaited his fa*e. But the after noon passed, then the evening, ana still nothing occurred. He had not dared to leave the house. In dread of the events that were to decide his future career. Finally, as the evening wore on, a little package was left at his house, addressed to himself. No letter or message accompanied It. He hastily opened the mysterious parcel, and found it contained an alarm clock. Seaboard Air IJne Hallway.

Pennsylvania and Indiana furnish most of the glass which is turned Into American mirrors at present, but plate glass factories that can turn out a quality of glass suitable for the use of mirror manufacturers are springing nn very raDidlv in several of the ??o -r * ?f * w Eastern States. The American glass makers hare finally succeeded In turning out a superior quality of clear white glass, which makes as fine mirrors Q8 can be bought In any part of the world. The leading looking glass makers hare found this out and they Import very little glass for their use. Not more than one-tenth of the mirrors made in the United States last year were made of imported glass, whereas a few years ago nearly all the American mirror makers were compelled to go abroad for their glass. Just at present the price asked for American mirrors Is about the same as asked for Imported ones, but when the price of materials slackens up a little the United States will probably turn out a first class quality of looking glass much cheaper than any part of the world. There will also be a decided picking up In the exporting of looking glass as soon as the number of plate glass plants is sufficient , to supply the local market and hare a surplns for foreign trade. The second class plants are improving the quality of their goods right along, and the many new plants which are coming into existence are striving to make only the best quality. In conseauence the supply will soon be equal to the home and foreign demand. The Coaotry for Docks. There are more ducks in China than [n all the world outside of It.
