Something TXxnr to Solomon- Tha
Dane of Speculation Cream
ila of tha World of
Iabor.
Worth American Review.
While only one bushel in seven of tbe
wboat crop of the United btatcs ia received
by tbe pruduue exi-liane of Nevv York, iU
tradera buy and aell two for every one that
oomeaoutof the ground. When the cotton
plantations of tbe south yielded less than
C,(XJU,0UO bales, the crop on the New York cot-
too exchange was more than K2,WJ0,UJU. cnl
wells are uncertain, but the flow on tlie
petroleum exchanges of New York, Bradford,
and Oil City never heMtatr. Pennsylvania
does well to run W,0lW,(WO barrels in a year,
and New York city will do as much in two
sruall rootus in one week, and the petroleum
exclianges sold altogether last year 2,000, OX,
000 ban els.
When the Chicago board of trade was
founded, its member were required to re
cord their transaction. The dance of spec
ulation has nowadays grown to bo so rapid
that no count is kept of tbe steps. Tbe
board was lately reiorted to have turned
over as much wheat in one day as tbe whole
state of Illinois harvests in a twelvemonth.
Its speculative hogs outnumber two to one
tbe live boys in tbe United 8tates, and it Lh
safe to say that the board raises Ave bushels
of grain to every one that is produced by the
funnel of the West. Securities have be
come as staple an article of production with
us as wheat, cotton, oil or bogs. One mil
lion dollars' worth a day of new stocks and
bonds is needed in prnKierous years to sup
ply tbe dernan bj of tbe New York stock ex
change, and its annual transactions are
nearly thrice tha taxable valuation of all the
personal property in tbe United States.
One of the things that would be new to
Solomon, If be lived to-day, is the part
played by tbe modern exchange in the dis
tribution of the products of labor, and the
redistribution of wealth. The honest indus
try that builds up our greatest fortunes iti
raking wheat aud iork ou the Chicago board
of trade, mining on the San Francisco stock
exchange, building railroads in Wall street,
sinking oil wells in William street, and pick
ing cotton in Hanover square While th
text books of the science of exchange are
describing in infantile prattle the imaginary
trade of prehistoric trout for pre-Adamite
venison between tbe "first hunter" and the
"fii-st flsherman," the industry of the cotton
plantation, tbe oil fields, and tbe farm is be
lug over laid by an apparatus of exchange
which will prove an extremely interesting
study to the Ricardo of, say, the twenty
fifth century.
These exchanges are the creameries of the
world of labor. The prices of tbe speculative
wheat and tbe special hog of the board fix
those of tbe real wbe it and the actual hog of
tbe field. The negro planter of Georgia who
raises his bale and a half must aell it for what
the cotton exchange says it is worth. The man
who works in tbe ground must take the
price fixed for him by the man who works in
the air. No one can understand tbe '-corner''
who does not comprehend the development
and reach of the exchangee of our time. The
manufacture of prices, like other modern in
dikfti-ies, is being concentrated into vast es
tablishments, and these are passing under th"
rule of bosses and syndicates. The markets,
like political parties, are run by the machine.
Tbe people are losing the power of making
prices as well as nominations.
The Raropean Walter Built Eye.
W. A. Crofrut in St. Paul Pioneer-Press.
I solemnly vowed, at first, that I would not
fee tbe servants a disgraceful and demoral
izing practice. 'Why,n I virtuously said to
myself when tbe garcou came down the ball
to serve me at Liverpool, "why should I pay
twice for my food! and why should I th reby
transform this' Immortal b?in, as I have
helped to transform thousards of others, from
a man into a beggar ? Not I wid reform r'
Alas I I had underestimated tbe power of self
indulgence. And I had left out of the ac
count the waiter's eye. It was an extraordin
ary eye when . turned calmly, upon tho man
who had not tipped him. He couldn't over
awe me with his majestic claw-hammer cnat
and white necktie; I could defy his clothes:
but X sat up in tied that night and thought
miserably about the way be looked at me.
There is an awful air of superiority about a
waiter when he quietly say "Thank you!" to
a retreating diner who has given . him no
pence or centimes. And he casts upon you
an Imperial glance of mercy, kindness and
pity, which says, as plaiu words can, "I am
truly sorry for you, sir: but you have lost
your opportunity! From this fleeting mo
mnt you shrivel!"
Of course next day you purchase happiness
by tipping the waiter, as I did. And yon tip
the chambermaid, and the boots, and the
porter, and the porter's clerk, and tbe clerkV
deputy; and ,you give "pour boire" toth
.'.river, "buona mana" to tbe gondolier,
"manria to tbe guide, "fumata," perhaps, to
the lazy chap who opens the carriage door
for you, because, when tho gratuity is con
finad to a cent or two, as it should be, it U
the easiest way .to " get along. So of wine.
Thousands of hogsheads are drank here every
year by people who do not want it, merely to
conciliate the waiter's eye. He says not "will
you have wine" but "which wine will you
have?" and if you say "none," be starts back
in consternation and obviously regards you
as a doomed wretch'. I estimate that about
OiiO.OOO have been spent here this year by
Americans, for wine and tips, to avert the
basilisk eye of these bumble servitors for
whoee opinion in other matters they would
not care a copper. A good many, too, drink
wine, as t bey wear camel s hair shawls, not
because they really care for it, but as a sign
that they can afford it. "We are all poor
critters.
A, Curious Ilonkey Story.
Inter Ocean.
A brave, active. Intelligent terrier belong-
in? to a laity one day discovered a monkey
belonging to an itinerant organ-grinder
seated upon a bank within the grounds, and
at once made a dash towards him. Tbe
monkey, who was attired in a Jacket and hat,
awaited the onset with such undisturbed
tranquility that the dog halted within a few-
feet of him so reconnoitre. Both animals
took a long, steady stare at each other, but
i the dog was evidently recovering from hi
surprise, and about to make a spring for the
Intruder. At this critical juncture the
monkey, jm ho had remained perfectly quiet
hitherto, raised Ms saw- and graoefollv
saluted by lifting bis hat. The effect was
magical; the dog's bead and tail dropped.
and be sneaked off aud entered the house, re
fusing to leave it till be was satisfied that his
polite but mysterious guest had departed.
His whole demeanor showed plainly that be
felt tbe monkey was something "uncanny,
and uot to be meddled with.

t his tail and body. Instead of tbe moccasin
.rying to free himself, he laid per
'ectly quiet and commenced pumping
himself full of wind, like a bel
lows. As be swelled up tbe water-dog
tiacked off. but it was too late. It was like
nulling a boot off as woolen foot. The moc
asin kept on pumping, and the water-dog
.on tin i led to expand. As he spread out you
-xuld bear his ribs crack, and I expected
-very moment to see him fly into a thousand
pieces, but suddenly the swelling ceased, for
Uie moccasin had gone the full length of his
xansivo powers, and be commenced to con
tract. R'Hluced to his ordinary size the
.vater-dog lost no time in slipping off, but he
vas so weak from the terrible strain he had
eccivod that for a moment or two he was
Kiwerlosf . The moccasin took advantage of
- his, and, turning on the dog, swallowed him
vlxile. Then followed one of tbe most re
narkable occurrences I ever witnessed. The
tog, evidently scared almost to death,
icgan galloping back and forth tbe full
ength of the moccasin. By the waving
idges on the snake every mo va
lient of the dog could be told. Back and
forth he went until the friction inside of the
nuke must have been terrible, for the water
egan to get warm from the heat of the moc-.-asin's
body. Every time the dog would gal
op toward tlie head of the snake the snake
would close its month, causing th dog to turn
ind run away. This performance was kept
iip for fullv an hour, during which time the
water grew boiling hot, and the whole skin
peebd off the snake. Then the flesh got soft,
and the first thing I knew be went all to
-ieces like a chunk of soft soap in a wash
'asin. The dog soon shook oft the remnants
f the snake whicb adhered to him, but he,
iiko the moccasin, was scalded to death also.
You see that grease on the top of that jar of
vater' Well, that's,all that's left of my iuoc

llneh to be Thankful For. ,
Cincinnati Enquirer.
Tho old maid of the present day hat much
to be thankful for. No dirty-faced children,
mud-liedrngged, to scour and clean; no cry
ing babies, keeping her awake of nights and
lemanding her presence at the nursery when
her tast-s and inclination beckon elsewhere.
Her days are days of pleasantness, her nights
are nights of peace. She retires to her vir
gin couch when she pleases, and does not
tiave to lie awake listening for the unsteady
tep and wavering night-key of hnr better
talf, who has been to the lodgo. Kho can
toast her feet by her sparkling conl grato,
xarm the brick for her feet, mix up her
tot toddy and lie down to pleas
:nt dreams. No harassing thoughts
tbout the children's teeth or flannels,
10 getting up in the night to hunt the
paregoric bottle, or worry about that horrid
jough, or where the school-books are lefr.- No
pa tehee to sew on pants, no basket of sfriek
:ngs to mend, no endless lot of shirt and sus
pender buttons to adjust. She can have
quiet and repose, rest and tranquil peace.
She can travel and read, like Lord Lovel, of
tbe song, "Far Countries for to Se." But,
olessed of all, she can eat, discard corsets,
keep the digestion in good order, the appe
tite keen. Talk about a lonely life, and liv
ing on tho aroma or love and the sweet per
fume of affection! Away with such bosh!
Give us something solid. Nobody was ever
lonely with a well-filled stomach. Loneli
ness is not the worst evil in life, any way: it
is bliss compared to uncongenial or half
hearted companionship, and a silence broken
only by "tbe creek of one's rocker is melody
beside a fault-finding and bickering husband.
The American Child Abroad.
Robert Laird Collier in Inter Ocean. -
I am sorry to say it. I am most deeply
oorry to say it; but tbe American child
everywhere in Europe, so far as I know, is
considered a nuis.ince. He is wilful, even
Imperious; he is unaffectionate, or at least un
demonstrative in affection towards his
parent; be contradicts; he says often, "Now,
I don't want to," "Now, why must If" "I
.lidn-t." I have beard him say right here
and now in Paris, "I wont." No other child
in civilized lands talks like that to parento.
Perhaps matters will mend with time.

' Mrarea Her Mother With Iter lre
eocity. Waterbury American.
Mr. and Mr. George Kellogg, father and
mother of Clara Ixuiso, are at tlie Uactt
house in Birmingham for a week, having
arrived unannounoed on Katur.lay. Mrs.
Kellogg U.a goo-i deal out of health, though
canvalescing. Should the climate suit t.lio
will eudoavor to bring her daughter there on
the return of that lady from Eurojic, whenco
khe will sail on the 11th hist. The Ansonla
Sentinel interviewed tho mother St tbe gnfit
songstress, and says there will soon be a bi
ography of MiHM Kellogg written by Mrs.
Kellogg. The circumstances ntUuding tho
singing of htr first song by Miss Kellogg are
thus narrated by the mother:
"Louiso was but nine months old. We
had just buried a little one iu the south, nnd
had fled northward to escape the infection of
a diHxe then prevailing, very fatal among
the children. We brought with us a servant
girl that had care of the child, and was al
ways singing a certain favorite song, couched
In the quaint and queer music of tho planta
tion. One day little Louise was sitting un
the floor when, to my utter astonishment, she
commenced singing in perfect time and tune
the song alluded to, which so frightened me
that I called out to my mother: 'The baby
will die! : Oh, my God, the baby will
die!' Mother came hastening into the
room, expecting to fin 1 the child in the
agonies of death, only to exclaim, 'Nonsense!
What aiU you, daughter! There is nothing
the matter with tho child. See, it is crow
ing at you now. 'But, mother,' I ex
claimed, 'that nine-mouths, babe has just
been singing wonderfully the nurse's song,
and it is going to di, I kuow it is!' and I
went almost wild ui my alarm. But tbe
baby did not die, a: id thafik God that it
didn't, for it was born to bless, as ouly music
can bless, tbe hearts of a world. This story
of our daughter's first song," said Mra
Kellogg, "uowevor improbable, juilged"by
ordinary events, is nevertheless strictly true.
I could not account for it aS the time: I t-au-not
fully do so now. I did - not then know
bow to interpret so unusual a happening ex
cept as a warning. In tha light of subse
quent events I may now perhaps guess at H
more possible solution."
This bit of history Ls, substantially, as
given us by Mrs. Kellogg, and in a manner
that to our mind left uo doubt of tbe entire
sincerity of that lady's own faith in tho real
ity of the occurence. Tho house where the
family lived at the time is now owne.1 by
Mrs. Eliza Stevens and is immediately back
of the Episcopal church, a picture of which
as being the place where the baby prima
donna made Its debut before the world will
appear in a forthcoming biography of the
songstress by her mother, who is hoi-self a
lady of rare gifts as a writer, bajii2 being
an amateur artist of fine achieveiuente.
Chimney Mweepn and Their Work.
Rochester Union.
"How do you go to work to clean a modern
chimney with small flues" was the first
question which troubled the reporter.
"We have peculiar tools scrapers, brushes
and rubbers made on purpose for the busi
ness. We go up on the roof and scrape the
soot down to the bottom of the chimney aud
make it entirely clean. How do we get
the soot out? Well, when ) chimney ex
tends to the cellar, we have no trouble.
When it ends in a parlor or other furnished
room, we take it out of the stovepipe hole
and are obliged to take a good deal of care.
We never leave any soot or dirt in a room."
"Do you often go down a chimney?"
"Always, if the flue is largo enough. Wo
elbow our way down, cleaning the chimney
as we go. We go out the same way ; then wo
take out the soot in the way I told you. We
take chimneys by tho job so much a chim
ney. We clean a great many tall factory
chimneys. Most of these have iron bars for
stes inside, and we climb up them and cleau
down. Sometimes we have to go up with
ladders on the outside and let ourselves down
with ropes. We get from $25 upward for
cleaning these large smoke stacks."
"Is the business unhealthful?" '
"Yes; it can not be any other way. You
see we can't help making a great dust, and
we inhale a good deal of it into the lungs.
When we go inside the chimney we cover onr
mouths with sjionge, but wo a!way3 catch
a good ileal of the soot, do the best we can.
How much does it cost to clean a chimney?
Wei), from 75 cents to $1.50, for common
chimneys, and it takes from one to three
hours. Iu the larger factory chimneys we
run a good deal of risk. In most of theiu the
mortar around the top is rotten, and we
have to look out for loose brick falling!' . Very
often a sweep is injured by a falling brick,
and it is almost certain to be a bad injury.
Make money at it? Well, yes; but we
don't last long in this business, and we have
to make money while we can."
Hho Was a Yankee Woman.
New York World.
Mrs. Towsley is a Yankee woman. She
came from the quiet of the Green mountain
state to visit her nieces in this city. Like all
Vermont women, shn was practical, quick
witted and fearless. She had been in tho city
for two weeks. Yestenlay she entered the
Grand Central depot to take the train for her
home. Miss Alice, her neice, who resides on
East Thirty-fifth street, accompanied her to
the train. Mrs. Towsley put her hand into her
pocket her purse was gone. She began to
talk sorai hat excite lly and a crowd of uieu
formed in a circle about her.
"Auntie, let me pay your fare. Just see
the crowd!" whispered the blushing girl.
"Wait and see me disperse them," said the
aunt as she became as calm as the lake in
Central park.
"Gentlemen, I am from Vermont. I am a
jioor woman, and I have lost my pocket book.
You all appear to be deeply interested in my
case. Maybe you will kindly make up the
little amount I have lost."
Before the Vermont woman could extend
her hand to receive the donations the men
had vanished then she found her pocket
book.
Blood Will Tell.
Saratoga Cor. Philadelphia Times.
The Philadelphians were amazal beyond
measure at tbe apjiearance of tbe dog and his
dude, having never beheld such a pair of curi
osities in tbe Quaker city, not even at the
great centenniaL
"That dude is a marvelous being," said the
Chicago lawyer. "There's no doubt about
that. We haven't anything like him in Chi
cago, and we're not likely to have very soon.
But we can beat that dog with the black pan
talettes all to nothing. Why, I lost a pointer
last year worth 100 dude dogs. One morning
after he disappeared, while breakfasting at
my hotel, the waiter placed a dish of sau
sages at one end of the table and a broiled
prairie chicken at the other, and you ought
to have seen how those sausages turned
around and pointed for that chicken. Out
in Chicago blood will tell."
This story shocked the grave Philadel
phians inexpressibly and they made sundry
excuses to get ar ay to take a quiet freeze by
thetnselv while the lawyer and the judges
went off to tbe races.
