Cash versus Credit Methods.
The many advantages of doing a Cash Business, both for our Customers and ourselves, over the old Credit
Han are so plainly manifest that it is scarcely necessary to call the attention of the Public to them:
However, vta present a few of the strong iivumerits in favor of cash trade as follow#
It saves a book-keeper's salerv of at least $7o.00 per month it obviates the possibility
of makiuu mistakes, vhieh always occur to a greater or lesser extent with any nccountiiui
ostein it precludes the possibility of our customers' accounts Incoming larger than they
expected and the consequent difficulty and time wasted settling it saves us paying
interest on thousands of dollars which a store doing credit husiness always has on
their-hooks It eaves us from losses which any credit store has with "poor pay" custom
ers. The man who trades at a cash store does not help to pay Bomeoue else's debts it
gives ustiiu mony with which to pay sjot cash for our trocds thus insuring l« d.rock prices
From the foregoing advantages and savings, it is plainly apparent to any fair minded
}'«rson tluit we can tell fioods for cath for considerably less ipoaey than can the credit
stores Just watch us and our prices and see us "make good"
We earnestly solicit your valued patranage on the grounds of Dependabla Merchandise
at the Lowest Cash Prices.

At an uptown bridge whist party a
man member tohl ibis story while the
company was taking a bite between
rubbers: "I had hoard of a man hold
ing a complete suit, but 1 never saw it
Until last week. I was invited to play
at Dr. Blank's home, and It was my

"Quick j:. a flash the man at my left
said. '1 dou !i.' and then I realized th.it
in my excitement I miscalled my hand

grand slam and said a few things to
me also."
The day after he had told the story
the man received n postal card on
which this was written:

SPANISH THRONE ROOM.
Outrivals In Splendor Anything of the
Kind In Europe.
The throne room (if Spain outrivals
la splendor any In Kurope.
The an.ient throne stands tn the
apartment known as the room of am
bassadors. The decorations of this
apartment include vast crystal chande
liers. huge tables inlaid with precious
marbles, vast plate «lass mirrors, gild
ings. rich hangings and above all the
painted ceiling representing the long
line of Spanish kings in the various
picturesque costumes of the provinces.
Here Spanish kings receive on state
occasions, and here, too, their bodies
lie in state after death. The throne is
of rich velvet, embroidered. Around it
are grouped f'ur great silver lions with
their heads turned away as if guarding
the o -ciipant. Four broad steps lead up
to the throne room from the polished
floor of the room, ami the crimson cov
ered footstool is In itsplf a work of art.
In this room have been gathered for
ages curios and gems from Spanish
possessions the world over at a time
when Spain was mistress of the world,
And here in front of the throne hang
chandeliers of rock crystal which have
for generations been the #nvy of nther
European rulers.—Pearson's Weekly.
Witchcraft In India.

spread In India, especially among the
tribes low in the scale of civilization.

Murder frequently follows the denun

"Whipped" From a Lunatic Asylum.
Among the amusing anecdotes told
of parliamentary life Sir Henry Drum
moml WoltT lu "Rambling Recollec
tions" gives the following as an ex
ample of skillful "whipping:"
"At the time of an important division
a monitor .happened to be confined in
a lunatic asylum. Kvery vote was nec
essary. Arrangements were therefore
made to deliver him at the house at
the moment required, and he was re
ceived by the 'whip* of his party, who
induced him to walk through the lobby
by preceding htm with a stick of bar
lev sugar in his hand. This 1 believe
to be a perfectly true story."
Jack Ketch.
Ja k Ketch has long been a synonym
for the public executioner and is de
rived from Richard .laquett. who for
merly owned the Manor of Tyburn,
now the ground upon which stands the
marble arch and where the Bayswater
and Kdgware roads meet.
Here some few yards westward of
the arch stood Tyburn tree, and to It

A Canine Suicide.
"What has become of that fine grey
hound your wife gave you?"
"Suicide."
"Honest?"
"Yes. He tried to nab a flea on the
sma'l of his buck and. miscalculating,
bit himself in two."—Exchange.
Pride Sets the Paea.
We are a great people because we
make such a hullabaloo about the
things to do. because we accomplish
them to the music of the band. Our
pride has set the pace, and it's our
pride that kieps ns up till we drop.—

No Brother Needed.
"But I shall always be a brother to

MUSIC
AMD THE
MASSES.
Popular Opinion Should Be Educated
to B« the Arbiter as tw Merit.
Give me the approval of the masses,
and I can survive without the uristoc
racy or the critics not that the tatter
are to lie despised or ignored, hut their
minority decision should not !e final.
What makes or breaks great works
on their first performance in Europe?
Not the verdict of the aristocracy nor
of the critics, but the masses, the com
mon people. It ia in the galleries that
the battle is waged, with hisses and
applai\se, and it Is upon the prevailing
i opinion of this portion of the audience
tliat the fate of a work depends. But
In America, alas, the masses do notii
iug. It is the critic, who assumes to
tell this nation what is good work and
i what bad. and I lielleve and inn daring
enough to sav that there is no mau or
small coterie of men capable of teach
ing a nation art. It needs the battle of
minds among the people, and again I
say. alas, our people, our masses, have
not yet been musically educated, have
not vet had an opportunity to live in
the proper musical atmosphere.
One great drawback for the masse?
here Is that the opera season lasts but
a few months and that the prices of
the limited number of representation*
during that brief period are so very
high that the people generally cannot
afford to go it is dreadful to me to
realize thai It is the very |Hople whose
souls long for music and who sooner
or later will. I ttelleve, lie the chief
factors In building It up here as they
have lweti it\ Kurope and who are now
denied the opportunity not only of wit
brying themselves, but of lending the'r
aid to tiie spread of art feeling «'id

MOVING PICTURES.
Originated In the Spinning of a Coin
by Sir John Herschel.
Sir John Herschel after dinner In
182(5 asked his friend, Charles Bab
bngc, how lie would show both sides of
a shilling at once, liabbage replied by
taking a shilling from ids pocket and
holding it to a mirror. This did not
satisfy Sir .lohn, who set the shilling
spinning upon the dinner tattle, at the
same time pointing out that If the eye
is placed on a level with the rotating
I coin both sides can be seen at once,
Bnbbage was so struck by the exp ri
ment that the nest day he described
It to n friend. Dr. Fiison, who Immedi
ately made a working model. On one
side of a disk was drawn a bird, on the
other side an empty birdcage. When
the enrd was revolved on a silk thread
the bird appeared to be In the cage.
This model showed the persistence of
vision upon which all moving pictures
depend for their effect. The eye re
tains the image of the object seen for
n fraction of a second after the object
has been removed. This model was
called the thaumotrope. Next came
the stnetrope. or wheel of life. A cylin
der was perforated with a series of
slots, atid within the cylinder was
pltred a baud of drawings of dancing
men. On the apparatus being slowly
rotated the figures seen through the
slots appeared to be In motion. The
first systematic photographs taken nt
regular Intervals of men and nnim.i
were made by Muvbridge in 1877
Antiquity of Petroleum,
Though it is only within recent times
that petroleum lias become nn article
of commerce, there is abundant proof
that It wits used In the arts forty cen
turies ago. The mortar used lu con
structing the walls of Nineveh and
Babylon had petroleum mixed with it
for the purpose of securing greater co
hesion and excluding dampness. Traces
of the bituminous matter are very dis
tinct In the ruins, aud the existence of
petroleum springs at Is, soiik- VJW
miles from old Babylon, indicates one
source of the supply. In the undent
history of several eastern countries al
lusion Is made In unmistakable terms
to the existence of petroleum springs

Strong Room Perils.
Before now people have been shut In
strong rooms r.nd have had narrow es
capes. On one occasion a locksmith
was repairing an interior safe in the
strong room of a New York bank when
the cashier closed the vault ddor. As
It was worked by a time lock ft meant
that the door would remain closed un
til ,tbe following morning. Fortunately
the man knew the secrets of his
stronghold and by opening a manhole
was able to obtain a sufficient supply
of air. He then made a pillow of a bag
of dollar bills and composed himself to
sleep until the door was opened next
morning.—Strand Magazine
Easy Shopping.
There Is little trouble attached to
shopping In Buenos Aires. When a
citizen with a plethoric -purse goes to
market he buys his vegetables In piles
without regard to quantity or quality.
Nothing is bought by weight. If a
man wants beef he simply tells the
butcher he wants some meat, and he
gets a chunk, pays the price and goes
home satisfied.
Knew Where It Went.
"Are you one of tho-e mean spirited
men who ask their wives what they do
with the money they receive?"
"Certainly not." answered Mr. Meek
ton. "I don't have to ask my wife.
She plays bridge whist."—Washington
