Htawisomen asncmbled at break of day,
And stood by the throne in solemn array.
And when the terrible dream was told,
Each felt a shudder, his Wood ran cold ;
And all stood silent in fear and dread,
And wondering what was best to he said.
\t length an old soothsayer, wrinkled and gray,
Cried, “Pardon, my lord, what I havo to.say i
“ ’Tis an omen of sorrow sent from on high—
Thou shalt see al! thy kindred die."
Wroth wns the Sultan ; ho gnashed ins tooth,

Not long ago the Government of tho
United States began to coin nickel five-
cent pieces of a now pattern. But after
a few thousand hail been struck off it
was decided that they were unsuitable,
and tho coinage was stopped.
Tho fact that so few were sent oat
made these tive-cent pieces very valu
able to' perso is forming collections of
coins, because they were so scarce that
by and bye none could be picked np
among the change handed about in
trading.
Many a wide-awake boy got a hint of
this and profited by it. How it caused
one of tho schools in a oertain Conneo-
tiont town to beoomo a sort of Bourse or
Wall street, and two youngsters in par
ticular to resemble speculators, is tho
little story I have to tell.
One of the boys wo will oall Wyx and
I the othor Jordan. The former was a
j “bull,” the latter a “bear,” in the
money market which sprang up in this
emergency os quickly as, during the
i late war, n trailo in gold was organized
I in New York, where profits were gained
or lost according as tho value of tho
gold dollar in greenbacks rose or fell.
Wyx’s father was a banker, and,
therefore, ho became “posted” on the
value tho coins would probably take a
little ahead of others, and, in addition
to a supply procured at his father’s
bank, ho went about for several days
buying up nickels of his school-fellows
and everybody else ho could meet, pay
ing six and seven cents apiece for them,
until he thought ho had secured oil
there were in that neighborhood.
He also felt pretty 6ure that none of
his schoolmates could get many, if any
more, while he had a chance to do so,
on account of his father’s position. As
tho men who deal in money and railway
stocks in the city would say, ho tried to
make a “corner” in these coins. If he
succeeded, of course he could ask what
he pleased for them (for he would havo
no opposition), provided anybody
wanted to buy badly enough to pay a
high price.
There is a /treat risk in making a cor*
ner in som<i f.rticle which is not neces
sary. If more than a moderate figure
is asked peoplo will refuse to purchase,
and the wrong-doing of a mail whe
seeks to charge too much will thus cor
rect itself, even where ho lias a monopo
ly. It therefore happens that men who
attempt to make corners nsually choose
something which people must havo rd,
any price—such as wheat, or lard, or
pig-iron; yet they rarely succeed, be
cause when a man takes that position
he arrays tho whole country against
him, and no matter bow rich and power
ful he may be, it is all but impossible to
gather into one corner, as you would
p" 1 ’ •* of sheep, all there is ol one
.l-s hi a great region like the
luv..U united States.
But I have been lead into a long di
gression. Let us go back to the attempt
at a corner in new nickels which oc
curred in that Connecticut school dis
trict.
Thinking that he had bought in all
there were afloat in the neighborhood,
and that now was the time to sell at a
profit, or to “realize,” as the brokers
call it, Wyx announced one day that he
was coming to school next morning with
neaps of nickels, which ho wonld sell uf
ten ceutB apiece.
Tho boys began to be sorry that they
had been so lmsty during the previous
ten days in lotting Wyx have their half-
dozen or so each, at only a cent or two
advance, and having grown excited over
tho way the value had risen, were now
quite willing to buy their ooius all back
at the advanced rate, and a lot more be
sides, believing they would go still
higher. It tiioreforo looked sure that
Mos tor Wyx was to make a great deal of
money. Certainly that is the way ho
regarded it, and he strutted ol>out with
his hat tipped on the baokof his head in
the most approved 8took Exchange
swagger.
In these operations, let me say, both
tho seller and the bnyers were taking
tho right oourso. Acting on his belief
that the coins wonld become worth
ruoro n few days hence than they tlion
were, Wyx had bIiowu good sense In se
curing all he oonld honestly get and pay
for. Now, as a matter of fact, and as
Wyx foresaw would happen, they had
risen, and wore really saleable to collec
tors down town at ten cents, and some
times for moro. Tho other boys were
quite right, therefore, in buying thorn
back at that higher rate, and might
ohargo tho difference whioh they hail
lost to tho account of acquiring knowl
edge—which is only bought by experi
ence, and that is usually paid for in
oash I
Now, among tho boys at that sohool
was Jordan. Morning and evening ho
peddled newspapers, and had grown
sharp. He learned when he wont home
that afternoon that his father was just
going to a bank to reoeivo some money.
Seeing his opportunity, the lad begged
his father to take five dollars of tho pay
ment in the now nickels. Theso he could
get by asking for them (provided -the
bank had so many) at their “face value”
—that is, five cents.
This fact was what Wyx had depended
upon nobody’s knowing; but it happened
that Jordan did know it, nnd sometimes
a very simple bit of knowledge, speedily -
acted upon, is worth a great deal, as >»,
proved in this case, for Mr. Jordan huc-
ooeded in obtaining tho five dollars
worth whioh he lout to his enterprising
of the outwitted Wyx, who as city meu
would say, had been caught ont in a
shower without an umbrella!
But there was no way out of it. no
had mode a pnbllo offor and It had been
taken up. He had to stand by it and
sell ont, however mnoh he disliked tho
bargain. ^
By borrowing and scraping Jordan got
together the 916.50 needed to pay for
hik 275 nickels, whioh he then proceed
ed to sell in small lots at ten cents, clear
ing four cents on each one by his quick
wit* while the first speculator got little
or no pro0t ont of his snpposod 1 ‘corner."
the hoys bought, bnt it was with wry
faoon, for they remembered they had
not l»een sharp enongh to take Wyx’s
oflor of six beforo Jordan captured the
whole lot. They aptly represented the
outsiders who speculate in Wall street,
and whom tho brokers laughingly call
“lambs,” because it is their fato to bn
“fleeced.”—Next York Hour

CHICKEN CHOLERA, I
Well, Wyx appeared at sohool next
morning, his pockets just bulging with
nickels. He had no less than two hun
dred and seventy-five of them for sale at
a (lime apiece. Beforo ho hail disposed
of a dozen, however, Jordau came on the
play-ground, and, showing a handful of
tho coveted coins, immediately offered
them at nine oeuts.
The nickel market up to this time had
been a one-sided affair; but now it wns
divided between the “bulls" and the
“bears.”
You know it is the habit of a bull to
toss everything into the air whioh he
attacks—to raise it; while, on tho other
hand, a bear pulls things down and gotfl
under foot whatever lie wishes to obtain
or destroy. From this has arisen the
lmbit among dealers in money, and what
are called “securities” (documents sup
posed to secure a certain amount of
wealth to their possessors), of calling a
man who would like to have tho price
of an article increase, in order that he
may sell to better advantage, a “bull”;
and of calling him a “bear” who tries
to lower prices, in order that ^ie may
buy more cheaply.
Now, Wyx. of course, was a “bull”
on the nickels in this school market, for
naturally he wanted to keep the price
as high aB possible. Jordan, on tho
contrary, was a “bear,” pulling the
price down with all his might to favor a
scheme of his own, as wo shall see.
Thus he offered his coins at nine cents,
and Wvx found his corner “busted.
“I can’t stand this," he exclaimed, in
dismay, “I’ll sell at eight.”
"Seven 1” shouted Jordan, dropping
his price another notch as quick as a
flash.
“Six I” cried the bull.
Wyx was out of all patience, that a
fellow should t arn up in this way to min
his business. To bo really like the
great railway and telegraph managers,
what the rival speculators should have
done at this point was to go off into a
comer and agree between themselves
that both would stick to the ten-oent
price. Then, if not enough buyors ap
peared to take all the nickels held by
both, they would, at the end of the
sale, divide what they had made.
This wonld bo a “combination,” and
“pooling the profits.” But they didn’t
do it
Jordan thought he kne w a trick worth
two of that, and showed himself a true
financier.
When we left them, you will remem
ber, in order to undersell the pestiferous
Jordan, Wyx had offered his ooins at six
cents each. Quick as a wink Jordan
spun round and shouted: “I’ll take all
yon’ve got I"
fmaginp the astonishment and disgust
1. That infootions diseases generally
are duo to filth in somo form—most of
them directly to diver kinds of micro
scopic plants (bacteria) which gain en
trance into tho system through tho lungs
of tho stomnoh. Invading tho wonder
ful laboratories of life—tho infinitesimal
oellH—they disorganize these just as the
yeasbplants, multiplying to oonntless
millions, disorganize every particle of
the dough—or wonld do so, if not them-
aelves killed by tho heat of the oveu.
2. Remember that tho best preserva
tive against them iB high health, whioh
either digests them in tho Btomach, or
wpels them from gaining a foothold,
and eliminates them from tho system.
. 8. Remember that the next best pre
servative against infections diseases is a
Ireo and strong circulation of pure air
through the house from collar to attio.
The danger is when large numbers ol
.{bacteria gain admittance. There is slighf
probability that a foothold will bo gained
A>y these invaders when their number is
comparatively few.
4. Remember that in onr cities and
large towns the sewers, Constantly re
ceiving tho exorota of tho siek, are never
free from infeotious bacteria; that those
readily pass up into dwellings throngh
every opes connecting pi|>c; that theso
pipes should be kept closed wlion not in
use; and that they should, in no case,
enter a sleeping-room, but only into n
well-ventilated water-closet.
5. Remember that, in tho country,
wells ore dangerous when they are with
in one hundred feet of a privy or cess
pool.
7. Remember that while boiling may
purify infected water, moro filtering
never renders it safe.
7. That all water-closets, cesspools,
etc., should bo frequently disinfected,
copperas (sulphate of iron) being a good
and cheap disinfectant for tho purpose.
8. That a deodorizer is not necessarily
a disinfectant. We may kill a bad smell,
and not kill the bacteria.

Result of u Practical Joke.
A paragraph in a Cleveland paper not
long since told tho sml story of n hoax
practiced by three women upon a friend.
It seemed harmless to them. It proved
almost fatal to the friend, and illustrates
a fact that should not be forgotten, that
frights may kill, or may craze tho brain
permanently. Such jokes are criminal,
and deserve a serious penalty. Tho vic
tim of this hoax—Mrs. Burns—had
gone away for a short time, leaving her
husband and little ones at homo.
Tho husband went to work, and tho
three women thought it would bo ex
tremely funny to searo Mrs. Burns. The
chairs and tables were upset, and every
thing wus put “topsey-turvey.” A figuro
was made and clothed in asuitof Burns’s
clothes, and was laid on tho floor, its
head, tied with a white bandage, rest
ing against the sewing-machine.
Then the women secreted themselves.
Mrs. Burns, who is of a nervous tem
perament, came home and was struck
speochless with horror at the scene.
The poor woman, seeing the inanimate
form, immediately supposed that her
husband had committed suicide. Tot
tering to tho house of a neighbor, she
gasped out that her husband was dead,
and fainted away.
A physician was called, bnt she went
from one spasm into another. When
she finally revived sufficiently to talk, it
was found that her reason hod left her.
For days she hovered between life and
death. Although she is now considered
ont of danger, tho shoek has left its im
pression upon her mind, and she may
never fully recover.
