"There aro tricks in all trades but ours,” said a retail grocer to me recently. "You wonder how it is that we are able to Bell strawlierries at less than they cost us and still make money. It is a puzzler to the uninitiated, isn’t it? But after all It is simple enough when you know how. "For instance, I go down to the mar ket and buy a crate of strawberries for thirty cents a box. Mow my trade is not rich enough to pay me even thirty- five cents a box, and at less than that I make no profit. “Well, I take those berries und empty them out of the boxes. Then I take a nice piece of white paper, which is much cheaper than strawberries, and drape, as it were, the box. Then I take the berries and arrange them very carefully in such a way that all that are any way touched with decay go to the bottom and only the fine, ripe, sound ones are in sight By leaving plenty of space between the berries, except the top layer. I have no difficulty in filling two of the draped boxes with the contents of one of the original, and then they look much richer and more appetizing nnd sell better. “When this is done, out they go in front of the store marked twenty cents a box, and before I know it they ure idl sold, netting me a nico little profit. If I had tried to sell them in the original boxes at tliirty-fivo cents I would have had a good many left on my hands tc spoil. “Why, some of the bigger dealers in green groceries and fruits keep a man, ut a good salary, simply to repack goods, and it pays welL”—New York Herald. Too tV.Il Hidden. Elizabeth Glover, in her book, “Fam ily Manners,” devotes a chapter to de ploring the New England habit of re pressing one’s feelings on tho matters nearest at heart, and never allowing them to find expression in words.* She says: , There was a railroad accident, and a poor former’s wife was taken oct, bleed' ing ' -Haro you no friend* across the way?” My little city darling said; "And when there come* a rainy day, Can't you look out. and nod your head To some one etoa, aa 1 can do To Will and Fred and baby Sue? 1 beard you tell mamma today You bad no friend* across the way. ” “But I bare friends-dear friend*.” I cried. With quick, remorseful thought of home. “A band of brothers, side by side. To erect me if l goorcome. Bow dear they are, l cannot say I For bow It cheers me day by day To see across the vslley far. Bow strung and beautiful they are! "And you should see tbe robes they wear; Their mantles thick and soft of green. Then rainbow tinted, yet more fair. Or ermine wrap* with silver sheen. But yet I think 2 lore them best When, all in somber shadows drtmk Their broken ranks in sBeoce lie Beneath tbe solemn midnight sky. “Sometime* a misty curtain drawn Between us bides these friendj from met But when at sunset it is gone. Dear child, bow fair the sight I seel For where the nearer ranks diride. The gates of glory open wide; And lo! in that unearthly light The farther hills transfigured quite; While yet another and another Peeps o’er the shoulder of his brother. And smiles through rosy mist and seems to say, •Heaven He* beyond us-such a little way.* * “Sneh friends are nice,” she softly sold, “For any one as old as you; And when I’m old and you aro dead. Perhaps I'll go and see them too. But now I’d rather watch to see Children across the street from me; And nod to Will, and play peep-bo With cunning iittie baby Sue.** —Susan H.

Meanwhile his wife opened her eyes and at once asked for her husband. "He's safe,” said tho doctor shortly. She felt his curt tone, and faint aa she was aba divined what it meant. "He’s a dreadful feelin' man,” she said, “bat he don't never say much.” The metropolitan area of London ex tendi over some twelve miles from north to eonth, and some seventeen miles from •act to west; within this space thirty- Dine governments so rule the homes, roads, drains of their three millions and three-quarters of subjects that for the last ten years the death rote has been only 231 per 1,000, or but 1 per 1,000 in exoeM of that of the whole country.

Almost every one has mode his jest about tho proneness of doctors to dis agree, the one prescribing exactly an opposite course from that ordered by an other; bat not every one has had an op portunity to conduct such on experiment os was mads by the late Baron Lntz, formerly prime minister of Bavaria. The baron was once severely wounded in battle in both legs. The wound in one leg was much like that in the othor. It struck him that here was a chance to study the ways of the surgical profession and beguile the long hoars of his con valescence. He accordingly called in one doctor and gave him charge of his right leg, bat told him nothing aboat the wound in the other, and then called in another surgeon for his left leg, keep ing him similarly in ignorance about the wounded right leg. The doctors adopted a very different method of treatmeut, but both wounds healed at about tho samo time. When the baron’s legs were quite well he de rived a great deal of amusement from getting the doctors together and mysti fying them with questions about the way each had treated • ‘his leg. ”—Youth’s Companion. Curiou* Old Indian Signs. About five miles above Morven is a mystery which the people of that com munity couno't explain. In a hummock near the river are two complete circles, one 90 and the other 140 feet in diameter, the smaller circle inside tho larger. The circles, which are mneb like those left by a circus performance, are com pletely barren of vegetation of all kinds. These circles have been there since the recollection of the oldest citizen, and none know how or when they came there. It must be that .they are Indian signs, relics of by gone days, when the savage warrior was lcfrd of all he sur veyed.—Macon (Ga.) Telegraph. Rich Puyallup Indians.
