A LIBERAL OFFER.
Its Effect Upon the Customer to Whom
It Was Made.
A business man of Dayton. 0.. tells
this story of some commercial friends
of bie:
A customer who bought in n small
way from the wholesalers and whose
credit was not of the sort known ns
gilt edged visited the city and pur
chased a r*HOO bill of goods, paying
$2,600 in cash and giving bis note for
the remaining S3OO.
After the transaction had been closed
and the paper and currency bad chang
ed bands the customer said:
“Now. after a deal of that size It Is
customary to give a purchaser a pres
ent. Come across with it.”
"We'll throw in a pair of suspen
ders," laughed the salesman temporiz*
ingly.
“A pair of suspenders, eh! Say. quit
fooling. I really mean It. 1 expect you
to do something In acknowledgment of
my patronage."
The salesman went to the manager
with the problem, and the manager
said:
“Well. If he feels that way about It
we might encourage him a bit. We'll
do something that ought to please him
greatly. Give him back his S3OO note.
Make him a present of his paper. That
will make him a cash customer and
raise his credit and save him money
besides.”
The salesman went back, pleased to
be the bearer of such joyful tidings of
liberality in business.
“Well, sir.” he said, “we've arranged
about that present, all right. Here.”
with a flourish, “is your note. We give
It back to you.”
The customer did not seem enthusi
astic. Instead, without looking at the
note he asked:
"Is it Indorsed?”
"No.” said the salesmau In astonish
ment.
"Then I guess you better gimme the
suspenders.” said the disappointed cus
tomer.—Chicago News.
HOW A HORSE GALLOPS.
The Natural Way and the Conventional
Pose In Art.
How does a horse gallop? Owing to
the rapidity of action it cannot be seen
by tbe bumau eye. However, just as
the individual spokes of a rapidly re
volving wheel can be made visible by
a flash of lightning, so the action of a
galloping horse cau be and has been
analyzed by Instantaneous photogra
phy.
Tbe statuette of Sysouby. tbe thor

graphs taken at tbe Instant .vbeD all
four legs are off tbe ground. The back

forward, the fore feet backward, so
that all are tucked under the animal's
body.
When the limbs again touch the
grouud the first to do so is one of the
hind feet, which is thrust far forward
so as to form an acute angle with the
line of the body and thus serve the
purjxwe of a spring in breaking the
force of the impact of the hoof when
the horse is going at top speed.
In the conventional mode of repre
senting a galloping horse all four legs
are off the ground at once, but tbe
front pair are extended backward iu
auch a way that the undersurfaces of
tbeir hoofs are directed skyward, the
body being at tbe same time brought
Dear tbe ground. This conventional
pose appears to have been derived from
a dog running, wbeu the front and
hind pairs of legs are respectively ex
tended forward and backward, with
tbe aoles of the bind feet turned up
ward.
This pose. It is thought, was adopt
ed to represent the gallop of the horse
by the goldsmiths of Mycenae between
800 and 1000 B. C.. whence it was
transmitted by way of Persia and Si
beria to China and Japan, to return
in the eighteenth century as the re
sult of commercial relations to west
ern Europe.—Chicago Tribune.
Th Earwig.
There is no Insect which has puzzled
naturalists as to its proper classifica
tion more than the earwig. Some have
asserted that It belongs to the leetles.
of which It is an “aberrant type.” oth
ers that It Is connected with tbe grass
hoppers. Even about its very name
there has been endless discussion.
Some have thought the name earwig
is the result of the creature's supposed
habit of getting into the ears, while
others are equally certaiu that it is
derived from the original name, which
they say was earwing, from the fact
that the wing when spread resembles
the human ear. At all events, one
thing is certain—the earwig as we
know it now is a survival of an early
type of which almost every other mem
ber has become extinct.

Washington’s High Priced Shad.
Washington’s steward was a man
named Fraunces, who liked good liv
ing and with whom Washington con
tinually quarreled about the market
ing. One time he bought a shad in
February, and as Washington saw it
coming into the dining room he was
charmed and asked what fish it was.
“It is a shad.” replied tbe steward,
“a very fine sbad. It was tbe only
one in tbe market, and 1 bought it for
you.”
“But what did you pay for it?” said
Washington sternly.
“It is a very fine shad.” continued
the steward, "and it is cooked to a
turn.”
"But 1 want to know tbe price—tbe
price!”
"It cost $3.” stammered out Fraunces.
"Take it away,” said Washington ns
be raised bis band; “take it away. It
shall never be said that 1 set such an
example of luxury and extravagance.”
ADd with that be drove the steward
out of tbe room, and tbe shad was
eaten in tbe servants' kitchen.
8h Liked Silk Hosiery.
Susan B. Anthony was a woman of
simple taste in dress, but her close
friends knew of one pretty feminine
vanity that she always held to. She
had a weakness for silk stockings. Be
ing pressed on one occasion for an ex
planation of what most women at one
time regarded as an unnecessary ex
travagance, she laughingly exclaimed:
"Oh. I just love ’em! They are an in
spiration. If 1 have my silk stockings
on when I rise to make an address 1
feel just as if 1 am walking among
the clouds. They help me to soar
away on flights of eloquence. 1
wouldu't be without them.”
Just the Thing.
The poet took his silver mounted
pistol from tbe bureau drawer.
"What are you going to do with
that?” naked his timid wife.
“I’m going to use it to drive the wolf
