REAL ESTATE Office first floor eouth of 0.8. Land Office J. C. HORISKEY Staple and Fancy Groceries Flour, Salt, Country Produce The Frontier Six Months for 75x Cost Mark Doesn’t Tell It. The Saturday evening Past says this is a true human document and offers it for what it may be worth: “I’ve been buying some lately of the mail order houses and saving money by doing it,” said the farmer, “but, by Jolly, 1 don’t know. I was in-’s grocery today and heard him talking with the new man that's rented a piece of-; said he’d like to carry him, but that he really couldn’t do it. “After the man went, says I, “Henry, what’s the matter with the man that you won’t carry him?” And he says, “Nothing that I know of; but I just can’t do it. The mail order houses and the fellows that come through taking orders til! they get a car load, make us sell so close and take so much cash trade that I just can’t put another account on my books to carry over till grapes are sold. “Weil, sir, twenty years ago-1 guess, I wouldn’t have been here, ii Henry hadn’tcarried me a whole year. I was meeting payments on the place, and the crops failed. No, sir, I guess I wouldn’t have been here, if Henry hadn’t carried me. And I was just thinking to myself, -Maybe that ren ter’ll have to throw up the sponge, same’s I’d had to do. When I paint ed my buildings I saved thirteen dollars buying of a mail order house, and it seemed like throwing money away not to do it. Rut, by Jolly, 1 don’t know.” jTiauy uum'io uuu u nuu<>| uuu uid | thinking about it—as we find from much evidence. The price mark doesn’t always tell the cost of the goods. Certain southern communi ties may buy cotton quite cheaply because it was spun by the stunting toil of children. Wood would be a better bargain for them. The price mark does not always tell the whole story. A stpry is told to the effect that a lady from the country bought three boxes of matches from an Atkinson grocer. It rained when she was go ing home, and the matches became so damp that not one of them would strike. Last Saturday she brought the matches back and upbraided the grocer for selling such useless stuff. The grocer took out one or two and struck them quite easily on the bosom of Ids pants, for by this time' the matches had become perfectly dry. But the lady did not think of this ex planation, and exclaimed: “Tut, tut! they’re not good enough for me. I can’t tramp six miles to your trousers every time I want to strike a match. Give me three boxes of a kind that I can light at home.” She got the matches. _ SOME CURIOSITIES. Different Lengths of a Mile—How a Rood Was Determined. The standard yard prevails through out the United Kingdom, but the lengths of the English, Scotch and Irish mile Is different In each, which Is the more curious, seeing that the English and American miles are identlcul. But the occasional local variations in our English acre' are even more remark able. These were perhaps originally due to the Inexactitudes of ancient land surveying, which was compara tively of such a free and easy descrip tion that the acres of neighboring coun ties, not to say adjacent parishes, sometimes varied. A book published in the reign of Ed ward VI. gives the following curiously naive Instructions on the subject: “Stand at the door of a church on Sun day and bid sixteen men to stop, tall ones and small ones, as they happen to pass out. Then make them put their left feet one behind the other, and the length thus obtained shall be a right and lawful rood to measure the land with, and the sixteenth part of it shall be a right and lawful foot.” This Is almost laughable, but we have only to apply to one of the older dic tionaries to find that anything like ex actness, whether of definition or of fact, Is quite a modern scientific de velopment. And the story of the acre Is a case in point. It was supposed to have been reduced to a common stand ard In 1303, but it was not until 1824 that we enacted the statute acre of 4,840 square yards. With the loose system of measure ment prevailing for the greater part of that long Interval, It Is not surprising that the so called “acre” was too often what the local wiseacres happened to make of It. By long use and wont It seems probable that the discrepancies thus arising occasionally crystallized into customs, of which some exumples still survive. A Welsh acre was for merly twice ns large as au English one, while a Scottish acre Is larger than ours by more than 1,000 square yards. According to authority, there are seven different measures still In use by which the acre may be variously defined. Lancashire has within her borders acres measured on a custom ary local scale, while the so called Cheshire acre Is even larger than that of its Welsh neighbor.—London Globe. Did Know About That. “The money market” Ms. Wallace | began, with that superior air a man assumes when he talks of public ques tions to his wife—“the money mar-' ket”— “Which reminds me,” Mrs. Wallace' Interrupted. “Reminds you of what, woman?” “That you haven’t given me the market money yet.” A HISTORIC HIGHWAY. How Colonel Zane Kept His Contract to Mark the Road. It Is said that the beginning of one part of a historic road may be traced to the following Incident: In early days, before the public conveyance by stage between the east and west, travel was generally by horseback. Judge Brown, senator for Kentucky, reached Whoellhg on the way to the capital wet and tired. lie was a guest of Colonel Ebenezer Zane, an early settler at Wheeling. Standing before the fire in Zane's comfortable cabin, he remark ed, “Zane, if you will have a road way marked from here to Llmeston (Maysville), I will have congress grant you a section of land at the crossing of the Musldngum, Hocking and Scioto rivers.” Zane fulfilled the contract, and congress made the grant. May 17, 1790, congress granted to Ebenezer Zane three tracts of land, one square mile, one on the Muskin gum, one on the Hocking and one on the Scioto river, In the state of Ohio, for the purpose of building ferries on the road from Wheeling, W. ,Va., to Llmeston, which road was to be opened by the president of the United States. These grants were confirmed to Zane and patented Feb. 14, 1800. On April 3, 1802, congress made the same al lowance to Isaac Zane, h!s heirs or as signs, located in the Northwest Terri tory, now the state of Ohio. Zane made good use of his grants. He located the town of Zanesville on the Muskingum, the town of Fairfield on the Hock ing and Chilllcothe on the Scioto. The story runs that when Judge Brown passed over the “road” he found it well marked by—blazed trees. — Ex change. POCAHONTAS. Her Visit to England and the Effect It Produced. Pocahontas was born In the year 1505. Her father, Powhatan, was the lord and ruler of thirty tribes or clans of savages Inhabiting that vast domain which was then called Virginia, after the Virgin Queen, Elizabeth. His friendship was dearly sought for by the white men and considered essential to the life and success of the colony. Like most red men, he distrusted the whites and their designs. In England Pocahontas was treated with all the honor shown to royalty. Her grace and charm seem to have won all hearts, and she was at her ease with the best In the land. She was presented at Queen Anne’s court, attended a ball given by the bishop of London and visited the Globe theater to see Shakespeare’s “Tempest.” In fact, she took on the garb and accesso ries of civilization with that easy grace which belongs to the truly great and was as much at home in court as In her own western solitudes. But in wardly she seems to have pined for her own free, open life of the forest, and when she was about to return on the good ship George she sickened and died at Gravesend, having lived long enough, as one commentator has said, to unite two hemispheres, two races, two civilizations. — William Ordway Partridge In Circle Magazine. • Lives of Old Violins. Strange indeed are the “lives” of the old Italian violins, says George Leh man. For years or decades they either repose in the amateur’s velvet lined cases or sing with their own peculiar incomparable sweetness to multitudes of admiring listeners, adored by their fortunate possessors, coveted by all whose love of their fascinating quali ties is far greater than their material means. And then, when it is least expected, some Strad or Guarnerlus, known the world over, is tenderly placed In the hands of a new master or mistress and a new chapter in the history of its long life is begun.—New York World. Calcutta’s “Jungle Villages.” The houses, or huts, rather, that form the majority of Calcutta’s dwelling and working places are low and mean and crazy to a degree. This vast congeries of dwellings that stretched itself along the Hooghly bank scarce deserves the name of town except for its supreme commercial and political importance and its great population. It is not a town, this city of huts, except in the central African sense. It is a series of Jungle villages spread out and plaster ed on the river bank with a trowel.— Calcutta Englishman.

I BEER FOR BREAKFAST. Ths Awful Morning Meal That Wai Once In Vogue In England. The breakfast appetite varies strange ly. Some persons are content with a enp of coffee and a piece of toast. Oth ers make it the most determined meal of the day. Once it was formidable Indeed. In Sir John Hawkins’ “His tory of Music” is quoted a sixteenth century manuscript belonging to the house of Northumberland which gives the breakfast arrangements of the Per- i cy family both for Lent and for flesh days, and, oh, how some of us have fallen away in trencher work! Here is the simple Northumberland scheme: “Breakfast for my lord and lady dur ing Lent: First, a loaf of bread in trenchers, two manehets (a manchet was a small loaf of white bread), a quart of beer, a quart of wine, two pieces of salt fish, six baconn’d her ring, four white herring or a dish of sprats. Breakfast for my Lord Percy and Master Thomas Percy: Item, half a loaf of household bread, a manchet, a bottle of beer, a dish of butter and a piece of salt fish, a dish of sprats or three white herring. Breakfast for the nursery for my Lady Margaret and Master Ingeram Percy: Item, a man chet, a quart of beer (this for the nursery), a dish of butter, a piece of salt fish, a dish of sprats or three white herring.” At ordinary times my lord and lady fared thus: “First, a loaf of bread in trenchers, two manehets, a quart of beer, a quart of wine, half a chine of mutton or else a chine of beef boiled.” Lord Percy and Master Thomas Percy disposed of “half a loaf of household bread, a manchet, one bottle of beer, a cheeking or else three mutton bones boiled,” while to the thirsty nursery went “a manchet, one quart of beer and three mutton bones boiled.”—Corn hill Magazine. THIEVES FROM CHOICE. Criminal*, as a Rule, Steal Because They Don’t Want to Work. The theorists say that men are driv en to crime by poverty and want, but the theorists are not always right. There are no doubt some cases of men stealing or swindling to get bread, but they are very few. Not one criminal In a hundred In this country pilfers, plays burglar or highwayman because he’s hungry, but because he is a crim inal from choice and would rather steal than work. He knows perfectly well that nobody ever made a fortune or even a decent living by picking pockets or breaking into houses or rob bing people on the streets. He knows, too, that it is only a question of time when the penitentiary gates will open for him, and yet he chooses the uncer tainties of criminal life and idleness In preference to steady work at good wages. Good times with the rest of the world signify nothing to the crim inal, except that the man he robs is likely to have a little more money in his pockets. No matter how prosper ous the rest of the world may be, its criminals are always hard up. When a sneak thief makes a haul or a foot pad gets hold of somebody’s roll the first Idea is to spend it It goes at cards, in dives, groggeries, anywhere, to anybody that wants it, and, no mat ter how large the haul, in a little while it is all gone and another job must be done to get more. General prosperity means nothing to the rogue. The devil pays low wages on small contracts.—St Louis Globe-Democrat. A Minute Fish. The most diminutive vertebrate creature In the world is said to be a small fish caught in a mountain lake In the Luzon region of the Philippines. The largest of the Species is less than an Inch long, but its smallness may be best gauged by the fact that it takes about 6,000 of them to make n pound. Although so tiny, however, the fish, which is named slnarapan, is an Im portant article of diet among the Phil ippine natives. Obviously it Is too small for any net and is caught in coarse muslin sheets. The fish are pre pared by being mixed with pepper and other spices and then dried in the sun. They are a great native delicacy. Beginning Well. “Begin your stories well,” said an au thor, talking to a group of literary be I'lnners. “There’s nothing like a good beginning. Indeed, It’s half the bat tle.” Then, with a smile, this excellent beginner of stories added: “Always bear in mind the case of the young man who, desiring to marry, secured a favorable hearing from his sweet heart’s irascible father by opening the interview with the words: ‘I know a way, sir, whereby you can save money.’ ” The Best Fiction. The fond husband was seeing his wife off with the children for their holiday in the country. As she got into the train he said, “But, my dear, won’t you take some fiction to read?” “Oh, no,” she responded sweetly; “X shall depend on your letters from home."—London Judy. She Wasn't Engaged. “And do you have to be called in the morning?” asked the lady who was about to engage a new girl. “I don’t has to be, mum,” replied the applicant, “unless you happens to need me.”—Yonkers Statesman.
