Tonng Man
Into Plcklaa Bo
There Uvea fa the civ ot New York a
man who haa accumukted quite a for
tune by simply adviang people what to
do. There always wjl be a large num
ber of persons who a/o unable to rely on
their own judgment; others come to a
conclusion with ease and certainty.
A youug man had accumulated a
and was debating
buy a small candy
Whether he should lent)
it on a mortgage This latter he knew
was the secure way; the other promised
. -great profits. In this perplexity he saw
an advertisement, “Advise given to those
going into business.”
After stating his cate the counselor
said: “My fee will be 16 fa advance.”
When this was paid/ioasked: “Doyou
understand the candy business?
“No; I did not thhix it was necessary.
I expect to supervlai it generally.”
“Then you will I*se ail your money in
three mouths.” /
“You think I haa better lend the money
on the mortgage?
»I do not say that. What is your busi
ness; that is, wist do you perfectly un
derstand?”
“I know the pickle business through
and through. I can make pickles of all
kinds, but I d* not like it."
“Never misd what you like. Go and
get a small place and make pickles; go
from hotel to hotel, restaurant to restau
rant, and tell them. In ten years oome
back and see me; you will have $10,000
at least.”
As the young man was going away he
was called back.
“Here is a card. I want you to put It
where you can see it a hundred times a
day.” These wore the words on the
card: “Business is business. Men don’t
do what they like, they do what they
can.”
THE FASCINATING CARD.
The card had a strange fascination for
him; he road it with care os ho walked
along the street. As ho studied it, now
light seemed to enter his mind.
He found a dingy basement, and began
to arrange for his operations. Of course
vinegar must be got, several barrels of
It; some was offered him at ten cents a
gallon, some more was shown at five
cents. “Which shall I take?” He thought
of the words on his card. He seemed to
see people testing his pickles, and, not
liking them, depart without buying.
“They will know good vinegar," thought
he, and so he bought the honest stuff.
In a few days several tubs of materials
were ready, and he knew he must mar
ket them. Now he greatly dreaded to
face strange people and push his goods
upon their notice. He never had courage
-when a boy, and now as a young man he
felt more timid it seemed. But he
thought of the words of the oard, and
entered a restaurant. The evident man
ager was a blooming young woman, and
the pickle dealer waa more' afraid of
women than men. Bat “business is
business” repeated itself over and over fa
his mind.
The answer to his statement was that
his pickles would be tried, and. if found
all right, would be purchased.
, “Glad I got that good vinegar,’’
thought the young man; and he began to
feel that there was a certain power fa the
maxim his adviser had given. Be began
to feel a courage he had never expected
fa meeting people and trying to sell his
goodji to them.
Calling at a store to get, if possible, an
order for pickles fa bottles, he wasquick-
ly »nd rudely met with, “Don’t want to
see any such sttill" Noticing the utter
dismay on the young man’s face, the
merchant said, short and sharp: “Don’t
you know enough of business to put up
your goods attractively?
Aa be retreated, ruffled and disheart
ened, the maxim repeated itself over and
over with this additional sentence: “It
is business to put up goods attractively.”
He eought out a lithographer and bad
some handsomely colored labels printed.
“They will buy the bottles,” said the
friend, “Just for the picture you havo on
than.”
APPRECIATED ADVICE.
When be had gained sufficient courage
be again sought out the merchant who
bad rebuffed Urn. “I have come to make
you a present of a bottle of One pickles.”
“Why do you make mo a present of
them?
“Because you gave me advice that was
worth a great deal."
The morning of one Fourth of July
came, and he pondered whether to go to
his (tore or not. All at once bo thought
people going on picnics will want pickles.
It was the magic words on the littlecard
that ran through his' mind. He found,
at he bad thought, a large number of
buyers waiting for him.'
The little card was consulted fa all
sorts of weather. If a man made a pro
pot i lion to him of any kind, and be waa
i in doubt, ho would go and look at the
words, though he knew them by heart
already. One day a cheese merchant
ansae to persuade him to buy his stock.
I "People," said he. "who buy pickles
always buy cheeee: you will do a big
trade.” It was a temptation. He went
and looked at the words and studied
them intently, trying to think out their
aDDUcation to the case fa hand. “Men
dowhat they can," he reflected. "I
would like to tell cheese, but I know 1
can sell pickles? then he returned. Now
he waa resolute and firm, although by
natnre easily bent and swayed by the
voids of othtfie
* “Business is business,” he odd. “lam
fa the nickle business; if I cannot make
money in this 1 shall quit and go into
fiMiiitwy else; but I shall not have two
kinds on nsy hands.”
When the ten years were up o* oouree
be had the *10,000, and more, too-

A Deathbed Question.
Not long before hid death Barnum
fcOmmonetl hid lawyer to the hide of the
coach where he whs lying. “1 uni very
much worried,’* he Haiti, “about :t certain
matter, and I want to consult you. My
neighbor keeps peacocks. .Suppose some
of them should fly over into my yard—
which they are doing all the time—and
lay some eggs here. Would those eggn
belong to me, orccnld my neighbor com
pel me to give them up?"
The lawyer, having duly scratched hia
head, answered: “Well, Mr. Barnum, I
most take time to look into this matter.
Bat the best thing for you to do would
be to keep the eggs and let your neigh
bor sue for their possession. In tliat way
yonr rights would be determined, and
we shonld have a very valuable test

you are looking into the matter will you

were laid by peahens?” The lawyer

A Unique Character.
A unique character in the Princeton
college faculty is Joseph Korgo, profess-
jr of modern languages. Adventure
ami experience of u rough nature have
marked his life, the earlier part of which
was spent in Europe. Coming from a
family of Polish gentlemen who made
arms their profession, be went into the
Herman army soon after finishing his
university edneation, and for a time was
closely associated with Prince Frederick.
Later on the Polish insurrection drew
him into it and mode a longer residence
within Russian dominions undesirable.
So the ardent Pole came to this country,
and won distinction in the Union army
before he settled down as a pedagogue
ander the shadow Of old Nassau.— Har

About Hook Reviewing.
An expert book reviewer does not need
to reud a book thoroughly in order to de
scribe it sufficiently for his purpose.
Most newspaper book reviews are mere
descriptions and not criticisms, and rach
notices can be written quickly by one
who has had experience and has the
necessary ability. When a publisher
sends iu a book of sufficient importance
to deserro n careful criticism, either the
editor takes time to read it or he dele
gates tho work to somebody else. There
are a few papers tliat uhvayi give care
ful reviews of the books they notice, hot
their number is very small.—Writer.
A Stmtuo of Colombo*.
Tills city owns one piece of statuary

marble statne of Colmnbns of heroic siso.
It is the work of Emma Btehbins, and it
was made iu Rome iu 1807. Tho great
discoverer stands with ono hand on the
