The Heal Scarcity.
A man went into a bank to bor
row some money. Ho asked if
they could let Win have a thousand
dollars for a short time. “Oh,
yes,” was the reply, “onethousand,
or two thousand; if you want it.”
The rale of interest was satisfacto
rily fixed and the borrower was
asked as to the character of his
collaterals. “Collaterals? I have
not got any collaterals,” said tho
borrower. “No collaterals!” said
the banker; “then it will be impos
sible for us to let yon have the
money.” Tho man was silent for
a few moments and then cxclamed.-
“I have heard a great deal of talk
lately about the scarcity of green
backs—there wasn’t money enough
to do the business of the country.

How 1o run Your Farm on a Cash llusls.
A carload of fat lambs in May
would come in very conveniently.
In June a good clipping of'wool
would pay three to five pounds per
head, lly the middle of June oats
should be marketed; in July and
August wheat, rye and hay soul,
and in Oct. and Nov., cotton lie
turned into cash. Thus a succes
sion of cash receipts would give us
money to make monthly settlements
with the laborers, discharging in
the meantime all who were not do
ing their duty. The advantage of
the diversified system is that no
■year will occur when prices of the
various products will be depressed.
If one fails to bring a good price,
the farmer has tho other on which
to rely. He is certain, besides
greatest aggregate profits in the
crop, to have his land in better ac
tual nml selling value. Oil the
other hand, the planter raising an
exclusive cotton crop ventures
everything upon the throw of the
dice, anil has no money but once
a year to supply tho wants of his
laborers, except by borrowing at
ruinous rates from his factor. M.

A biiarpku is on Xho way South
with the “Ninety-live cents game.”
His method of doing business is to
enter a store and ask for live cents
worth of some articles; on receiv
ing it he tenders a two dollar bill
in payment; thu change given him
by the storekeeper generally con
sisting of a dollar bill or silver
pieces and ninety-five cents in
Ins pocket, and, suddenly finding
five cents in that receptacle,
apologizes for making trouble iu
getting the bill changed, and, plac
ing the five cents oil tho ninety-
live cents, pushes it toward tho
storekeeper, asking for a dollar
bill, saying bo dislikes to carry so
much silver; upon the unsuspecting
storekeeper placing a dollar on tho
counter the sharper engages him
in tulking until lie can place both
the change and the bill together,
when he coolly asks tho victim to
exchange the two dollars on the
counter for the two dollars lie had
originally given him.
