License to SELL, “I’m license! to sell! Get out my shop!” the ruraseller angrily cried. With a frown on his lace and a curse on his lips, to the woman who stood by his side. “My moments are precious- I’ve no time to waste. I have paid for my license I say, ’tis my business to rell. I shall sell when 1 choose to those who will give me my pay.” * * * “Your moments are precious! Ah, precious for what? To ruin some innocent ones? You shall listen a moment. ’Tis little I ask for for wrong that to me you have done You have ruined my husband, both body and soul, that you his scant money might gain. You were licensed to sell, you an swered me then, and all my plead ings were vain. You lured him on with your honeved words till your victory you have made complete— Till bis money was gone. Then one cold night you turned him into the street. You were licensed to sell and gave not a sigh for the miserable work you had done. And now, not content, you are striv ing yaur best to likewise ruin my son. You are leading him on in the down ward path; his meager earning you crave; For that you are willing to send him down to an early drunkard’s grave. To look at the miserable sot of our town then back to ten years ago, And know that it is you and your cursed wox-k that have brought them down so low— You are licensed to sell, ah, yes, it is true that your license in money is paid, But think tiats not all that would ever be asked for the miserable wrecks you have made. When you stand at the judgement seat ot God, for deeds done here on earth, And you stand in the presence of these poor sou’s t! at you have helped draged down to hell. Of little avail will it be to you to say, “I am licensed to sell.” Cr&mp In tlio T.eg. Many persons of both sexes are great ly troubled with cramp in one or boih of their legs. It comes on suddenly and is very severe. Most people jump oct of bed (it nearly always comes on either just after going to bed or while undress ing) and ask someone to rub the leg. There is nothing easier than to make the spasm let go its hold, and it can b accomplished without sending for a doo tor, who way be tired and in need of a good night’s rest. When I have a pa tient who is subject to cramp, I always advise him to provido himself with a good strong cord. A long garter will do if nothing else is handy. When the cramp comes on, take the cord, wind it around the leg over tho place that is ./ramped and take an end in each hand and give itrj pull—one that will burt a little. / Instantly the cramp will depart, and the sufferer can go to bed assured it will not come on again that nig'it. I have saved myself many a good night's rest simply by posting my pa tients subject to spasms of the legs how to use the cord as above. I have never known It to fail, and I have tried it aft er they bad worked half tho night au.* the patient was in the most intense agony.—New York Ledger. Peculiar Trade Custom*. The Armenians, who divide with tbt> Greeks and Jews the entire mercantile traffic of west Asia, are acoustomed to sit down and weep bitterly when they have sold any article of value, declar ing that the purchaser has ruined them. The Jews, on similar occasions, rend their garments, which are worn pur posely for such sacrifice, with still louder protestations of ruin. In Asiasio Russia the shopkeepers consider it in cumbent upon thorn to at first refuse to sell their goods to any customer, and the latter is expected to employ himself at least an hour in persuading the mer chant to deal with him. But the most remarkable custom is that which prevails among tho mer chants of Tibet, regular band to band fight being required to take place be aten the seller and the purchaser on tlrfkdisposal of any considerable quanti ty of goods, the former obstinately re fusing the price to which he had first agreed, and the latter as resolutely forc ing it upon kirn. It is not considered businesslike to settle matters until a few blows have been exchanged, aftot which tiriy peaceably shake hands and the bargain is concluded. —Exchange. Everybody Says So.

Th© Queer Manner In Which They Ml* t)p Religion and Murder. The month of Ramadan, in which tho first part of the Koran is said to havo been revealed, is observed as a fust by all Mohammedans. The fast extends over the whole “month of raging heat” and involves extraordinary self denial and golf control. No food or drink of any kind may be taken from daybreak until the appearance of the stare at nightfall. Tho rigor witii which a Mohammedan Observes this fast and the great gulf be tween its observance and obedience to tho moral code are both illustrated by a story told in the life of one of the ho rocs of India, Major .Tohn Nicholson. While Nicholson in 1854 was deputy commissioner in Bannu, a native killed his brother and was arrested. Ho was brought before Nicholson on a very hot evening, looking parohod aud exhausted, for ho had walked many miles, aud it was the month of Ramadan. “Why,” exclaimed Nicholson, “is it possible that you have walked in fast ing on a day like this?” "Thank God,” answered the Ban nuchi, "I am a good faster. ” “Why did you kill your brother?” “I saw a fowl killed last night, and tho sight of tho blood put tho devil in to me. ” “He had chopped up his brother, stood a long chase and been marched in here, but he was keeping the fast, ” wrote the commissioner to a friend, that he might know what sort of blood thirsty and bigoted people ho, Nichol son, had to govern. One day a wretched little child was broujjSit before the commissioner. lie had ban ordered by bis relatives of the Waziri tribe to poison food. “Don’t you know it is wrong to kill people?” askod Nicholson. “I know it is wrong to kill with a knife or a sword, ” answered tho child. “Why?” “Because tho blood leaves marks, ” answered tho trained poisoner. A Pathau chief, wlio fell by Nichol son’s side in a skirmish, left a littloson, upon whom the English officer lavished care and attention. One day tho 7-year old boy asked his protector to grant him a special favor. “Tull mo first what yon want” "Only your permission, sahib, to go and kill my cousins, the children of your and my deadly enemy, my uncle, Fultri Khan. ” “To kill your cousins?” exclaimed tho Englishman, horrified at tho answer. “Yes, sahib, to kill all the boys while they are young. It is quite easy now. ” "You little monster! Would you murder your own cousins?” “Yes, sahib, for if I don’t they will Certainly murder mo. ” Tho little boy wished to follow Pa than usage aud thought it very hard that his guardian should provent his taking so simple a precaution. DID THE GIRLS PAINT? flow tho Question Was Decided and a Bet Paid. Two well known society swells went to the Imperial theater one afternoon when “East Lynne’’ was the bill. A few evenings before there had been dis cussed at their club the subject of wom en painting their faces. Several girls were mentioned who were suspected by thoir admirers of wearing an artificial carnation bloom. Others defended the young damsels and said it was natural. How to find out and win a wager that was laid then and there was tho subject of tho young meu'a visit to the Imperial. “East Lynno” Is a play which ought to make all women cry, they reasoned, for it makes even men’s thjjpats grow thick. They sent tickets for reserved seats to the girls under discussion, beg ging them to invite whomsoever they pleased of their acquaintances, as they, the donors, would not be able to escort them. Tho ruse was successful. In on upper box sat the young men ready to win of lose the wager, and right below, in tho parquet, where they could soe their faces and every move of thoir hands, Were the young women. There were six of them, two of Whom shed copious tears and hesitated not to wipe them away with their handkerchiefs, while tho other four never wiucod. Among those who did not cry were tho girls Snßpected of laying on the rod pigment, and it was on jnst that evi dence that tho bet hinged. That night the wager was paid with a supper at tho University club.— CSt, Louis Repub lic. She Will Toch Bonnet Making:.

Her Lucky Day. A North Carolina paper says: "A negro struck his wife two terrible blow s on the head with aii ax.
