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

*T>o you tlilnk It will look fit to be

holding up to the light my old brown
merino.

dubiously, while I anxiously waited
her decision.
"H'm?1 don't know. Rose. I "wish
you would take my black alpaca. The
merino will l>e good enough for me at
home."
"Indeed. I'll do no such thing!" I ex- i
claimed indignantly. "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

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

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."

Port Arthur as a Military Strong boll v

The town Is situated on a bay connect- t

From seaward the port Is reached *
by a winding channel not more than 8

originally by the Chinese, and by
them was named the "Tiger's Tall."
Since it passed into the hands of the

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.

hronghout the south.
Mrs. H. C. Wood has lately started
uch a business, and realizing the importance
of Atlauta as a shopping
point where the variety is as great,
ad can be purchased as cheaply as in
few York or Chicago, she has opened
n office at 801 Prudential Building.
Mrs. Wood is a southern woman
>oth by birth and rearing, and went to
Ltlanta with the highest credentials
,nd recommendations, and is a lady
rortby of every confidence.
Mrs. Wood being in Atlanta contantly,
watches carefully the special
argains offered from day to day, thus
giving her patrons every possible adantage
of low prices without extra
ost to them. She does not cater to

Glass Industry la the United States.
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. They are
kept on farms mostly; but the rivers,
lakes and brooks swarm with them,
they being a favorite article of food
with Ah Sin. The breeders sometimes
keep them on boats, as many as 2,000
being found on one boat. The hatching
is done in special buildings, some
establishments turning out as many
as 50,000 birds every year. Either
fresh, salted or smoked they aro sold
In all the towns, and a good many are
exported.
