CREDIT BROKERS.
Merolmnta Through Whom a Mail Can Get
Anything on Trust.
“A what?"
“A crodit broke-. Didn’t you over
hear of a credit broker? Well, it is a
now businoss, to bo sure, this credit
brokerage, but it is an active ono.”
An uptown business man adjusted
bis eyeglasses to read a lit tle card bo
bold in Tiis hand and proceeded to dis
close to a reporter some of the myster
ies of this now trade.
“Lots of folks, you know," bo con
tinued, “haven’t much money." Tho
reporter agreed that there might bo
somo people in this condition.
“The nbaenco of a largo incomo docs
not relievo them from the dosiro ty
live comfortably and keep up a good
appearance on a small salary. They
havo to go in debt or buy things on
tho installment plan. Somo people aro
not well enough known to get credit
from the regular old established firms.
'It is to the rolief of such peoplo tho
credit broker comes. If you want a
suitof clothes, mudo to order or ‘band
mo down,’ ho will send you to a first
class placo whore you can present his
card and got what you want without
further question, though the merchant
may never liavo seen you before. Ho
will thoM* givo you an order to some
furniture dealer, if you want, and you
cun havo your house furnished and
fitted out 011 tho sanio terms. Or with
his indorsement you cun have your
children fitted with now storo clothes
and you cun get shoes for yourself,
your wife and all the little ones with
out any ready money. You euti got a
watch uud seal ring for yoursolf and
earrings tbv your wife. If you aro a
carpenter or workman of any sort you
cun get tools in tho same simple way.
In short, you can get nnylhing you
want. Yon can even got your tooth
•filled or an aching molar dislocated.
You can bo fitted out with a new suit
of clothes, u beaver hut and cane,
shoes, studs, a watch and chain and
ull tho other jowolry necessary to the
oomplelooutlltof a gentleman, besides
fresh tie, clean collar and cuffs, stiff
‘biled’ shirt and enough at home for a
change—you can got all those things
on credit, though your face and name
nro not known to a merchant in town,
if you havo on ordor from tho crodit
broker.
“Tho business is started in this way.
A man who has enough means to make
his credit good with merchants bus a
large oirclagf friends whom lie knows
to bo honest and reliable, hut who
havo no crodit with merchants, not
being known. With this to start on
he decides to become a crodit broker.
Ho gets up a list of roputahlo mer
chants in vuriuus lines and makes an
arrangement with them under which
they aro to givo credit to any one pre
senting an order from him and aro to
pay him a commission on the trade,
lie being responsible for the debt. ■ Ho
then gives orders to his friends and
acquaintances who want to buy on
credit, but have no acquaintance with
dealers in the things tlioy want. They
buy tlieir goods and pay him iti in
stallments or spot down ul a certain
time. The man entering into this busi
ness must of course know llio men I10
is trusting, hut having a lurgo circlo
of acquaintances ho cun cusily deter
mine whom of them ho can trust, and
can get enough regular und reliahlo
customers to make him u good busi
ness. A man in one of the departments
mV in any business establishment
whore a greut many persons uro em
ployed may work up a good business
as a credit brokor. The man whose
card I hold here has gono regularly
into the business as a crodit broker.
He has arrangements with somo ten
or fifteen reliable business houses, to
which ho sends his patrons and from
which ho gets a good commission on
every sale upon his ordor. He makes
from $150 to $250 per month out of tho
business and very seldom makes a bad
debt.”—Washington Star.
A Splendid Ilrorigor.
A curious machine for cleaning out
the Sacramento river and various bars
is about to lie constructed at San Fran
cisco. The machine is not a dredger,
but a great submarine plow, which
simply clears the channel as it runs.
It is propelled by three engines of the
combined power of 54 horses, and
while going at the rate of 12 miles or
more an hour scoops out a space 0 feet
deep and forty feet wide. The debris
is shoved on either side so that instead
of tile banks being weakened they are
strengthened. — Now Orleans Pica
yune.
Another Itridgo*
Encouraged by t'no success of the
Forth bridge, French engineers have
formed a syndicate to. build a bridge
over the Bosphorus between Roumeli
and Anadoli Hissar. The«plan has a
length of 800 meters, which is to be a
single span, or half again 'tho - length
of the longest span in the Forth bridge,
and the height will be 70 meters.
Nothing is yet settled, but it is prob
able that the concession* will eventu
ally lie obtained and the connection of
Europe and Asia by a railway will
thus be established.—Cor. New York
Times.
THE RECORD IN THE BRAIN.
Rxiraonllnarv I list aura* of Woril llllml-
m>*a ami Word Detfliem.
All persons aro consciously and un
consciously molding in their brain
colls records innumerable. Things
that wo reck not of leave their impress
there; stamp comes upon stamp liko
tho various writings in an old palimp
sest, in which tho lower writings seem
outiroly obliterated until they aro re
vealed by tho processes of tho anti
quarian. So when tho vision of tho
higher centers is sharpest it can sec
through tho maze, and it may in a
moraont decipher the records of a life
time; or when tho restaining influ
ence of tho higher centers has been re
moved during delirious unconscious
ness, muttered words, broken sen-
tenes, or clearly spoken periods, and
mayhap even nets, givo to bystanders
glimpses of tho passing visions.
Whon wo nro trying to rocolloct a
thing, wo aro simply searching hero
and there among the rooords in tho
brain to see if by cbanco wo can find
tho leaf that wb want to read. Wlint
an indox catalogue is to tho sourchers
in a library, that to the senrohor of
brain rocords aro the laws of associa
tion; and precisely ns a purely alpha
betical or arbitrary catalogue may as
sist the student, so may nn artificial
system of mnemonics assist the brain
dolver. Tho sepurutonoss of memory
and consciousness is also illustrated
by some of tho extraordinary phenom
ena which aro connected with tho so
oulled local memories.
Among the local or isolated mem
ories the most distinct and sharply cut
is the memory for words. Tho forms
of aphasia known os word blinduoss
and won! deafness nro very strange.
Tho sufferer from word blindness cun
write uud will understand what is said
to him; ho will talk to you nnd per-
hups talk you to death; hut hand him
a book, a nowspaper, or oven the let
ter ho himself bus written, und he can
not reud n word.
Thus an nctivo man of business huv-
ing written n lottor, giving directions
for an important matter, attempted to
road it in order to see if it wus corroot,
but was astounded to find that he
could not muke out a singlo word; ho
had beon suddenly stricken with word
blindness. Tho sounds of tho words
and the words themselves had re
mained to him, hut the rccollcctioii of
the written forms of the words was
gone.
In a cuso of word dcufness tho per
son can talk uud can writo, but, al
though his hearing is perfect, ho can
not recognize tho spoken words. Tho
sound of the voice is plain to his sense,
but conveys no thought to him.—Dr.
H. 0. Wood in Century.
IIu Dliln't Doluy.
The case with which foreigners
coming to this country mix with our
population and don tho manners of
the natives in hustling for u livelihood
was forcibly illustrated on the arrival
of tho English steamer Parisian at
Portland. Among tho Parisian’s pas
sengers was an Italian scissors grind
er, who stood near tho gangway willi
his machine on his back, and who was
one of tho first to sot foot on the
wharf. If ho hud any “first impres
sions” of America, ho did not make note
of them as did Max O’itell and other
distinguished foreigners. Ho had no
baggage to look after, other than his
apparatus for putting an edge on
things, and being freo from care lie
wus naturally lighthearted and gay.
He didn't bother his head about look
ing up a hoarding house, but ut once
oiled up his machino, placed his tools
in readiness for uso, uud within thirty
minutes after getting on shore lie was
seen going up India street ringing his
bell for business. Welcome, welcome,
blithe grinder, to the ranks of our use
ful citizens I—Lewiston Journal. ■
Cabby Fpund Aaluup.
A somnolent cabman was enjoying a
comfortable nap on his box, in the ltuo
do Met/, when an enterprising person
came along, cut the reins, unharnessed
tho stood of the sleeping Jehu, mounted
the animal and tried tio gallop it up
tho Faubourg Saint Martin. Tho nag,
however, was almost as sleepy as its
master, and refused to proceed at a
pace fast enough to enable the street
brigand to get away.
The cabman having been aroused
from bis slupibors by a good Samari
tan who had obi rved the thief, rubbed
his eyes and tried to ornament his f a-
lurcs with a feeble smile, which was
accompanied by a muttered maledic
tion. At length, dooming energy im
peratively necessary J cabby seized
his whip and proceeded briskly after
the disappearing annexcrof nags, who
was ultiimltely conducted to a police
station, where he treated the adven
ture as a pure joke. This species of
horse play was, however, neither rel
ished by tho victimized cabman nor by
the police, who sent the theif to tho
lock up.—London Telegraph.

’TIS BETTER SO. |
Wo stood together you And I, j
And gazod Across tho sun kissed sea.
Tho lightest wavo that rippled by,
The lightest cloudlet In the sky,
Ilad not less thought or care than wo
That summer day so long ago
Wo stood bestdn tho sun kissed sea.
i
I stood besides tho sea today,
The weary, restless, surging sea.
The clouds were drifting dark and g1*ay,
Life’s light and hope hud gone tlieir way.
And left Its cares and tears for mo.
Lonely nnd sad 1 stood today
Beside tho restless, surging sea.
And yot, dear heart, I sometimes feel
1 would not chungo it if 1 could.
The woe must mingle with the weal,
The heart that knows not sorrow’s seal
Hus never found the highest good.
’Tis but a jhirt of life’s great plan,
Would we then change it if wo could?

When Ijumo Nang "Unity Mine.*'
I hoard an am tiring story about
Etninu lloussoftu the other day. Kmmo
used to lie an opera comiquo prirna
donna; subsequently she wedded Man
ager Colville, and now fortunately
nliko for her and for tho public—she
wallows in wealth. Twelve or fifteen
years ago sho traveled about with a
“Babes in the Wood" show and snug
that maudlin song yclept “Baby
Mine.”
It is supposed that somo shrewd
friend must, havo warned Em mo that
tho newspapers wei'o guying her song
of “Baby Mine," for suddenly Etnmo
abandoned the song and substituted
ono of a more dignified character.
But whon tho company reached Now
Orleans Em mo was thrown into an
ecstasy of joy by a lotter from the
Pelican club requesting her to sing,
upon n certain night, her famous
“Baby Mine."
Of course Emmo consented, nnd the
matter was duly exploited in tho local
press. On tho appointed evening
Emmo got herself up in gorgeous
fashion, and sl^o fairly bubbled over
with delight whon she saw that the
two front rows of Boats in tho parquet
wore occupied by memborsof the Peli
can club. But, lo and behold 1 as soon
as Emmo began her “Baby Mine"
song ovory mother’s son in those front
rows got up, turned around, kneeled
down und put his lioud under tho seat
in which ho had been sitting!
Well, Emmo wus just about us mad
u woman us ever brouthed. Sho walked
off tho stage us fust us she could and
never after that could sho be induced
to attempt that song, although sho was
wont to declare that tho deliberate in
sult offored by the Pelican club was
tlw result of a conspiracy hatched
among her envious and malicious pro
fessional associates.—Eugene Field’s
IiOtter in Chicago Nows. ,
Low Touud Utulnasi.
Tlicro aro certain high toned phy
sicians hero in town who “play it low
down" on their patients. Tlioy affect
an undecipherable handwriting and
inform tlieir patients that tho prescrip
tions should bo taken to certain drug
gists. If tho putiont thinks lie can do
better in tho mutter of rates ut another
drug storo lie presents the proscription
there nnd is reluctantly informed by
tho clerk, uftor u protracted session
behind tho prescription counter, that
ho cannot read the writing. Then tho
patient is necessarily obliged to take
the prescription to tho drug storo defr
signaled by tho physician, where it i>
put up without any ado and whore a
good, round price is charged for it.
Tho putiont pays this without a mur
mur, for there wouldn't bo a cent in
murmuring. Now, why does this
high toned physician do this? Simply
becuuso ho lias an arrangement with
this particular druggist whereby he
gets a rake off on every prescription
compounded. Ho lias a cipher ar
ranged with tho druggist and no ono
else can read his prescriptions. These
are tho pliysidians who object most
strongly to their professional brethren
who udvertiso.—Chicago Herald.
Unexpectedly Small.
Two little boys of my acquaintance,
writes a correspondent of Tho Compan
ion, had been invited out to tea at the
house of a third little boy, and their
mother hud told them to tuko but one
cooky each if there were cookies fdr
tea. ♦
Bure enough a plate of fancy cakes
was passed at the table. •
Freddy, the older boy, looked at the
diminutive “baby cakes" a moment
and then took two, saying as ho did
so to his little brother of four years:
“You may take two, Willie; I’m
sure mamma had no idea they would
be so very small.”—Youth’s Compan
ion.
Nome Peculiar Grain*.
In Bermuda the soldier crab carries
heavy shells up the hills to 'puzzle fu-
t u re geologists. Another species
climbs tho mangrove trees. A shore
crab in the Cape Verde islands may
“be seen running along like a'piece of
paper blown by a strong wind.” In
Ascension islands there are crabs
which “climb to the top of Green
mountain, and the larger ones steal
the young rabbits from their holes and
devour them,” The famous robber
crab of tho Philippines, that cracks
and eats cocoanuts, is itself routed out
of its hole and feasted on by the wild
swine.—Edinburgh Be view. «
