1t is related OF Il Persian King that
being at a hunting seat, he was about
to have some game dressed, and as
there was no salt, y servant was sent
to neishborins village, when the
monarch ordered him to pay the
price of the salt, that the cxaction
might not become i custom and The
village desolated He was asked.
"From this triAe what injury can
ensue?' ana replied, "Opprcssion
was brought into the world from
small beginnings, which every new
conner has increased, until it has
reached the present degree Of cnor-
NIFTY. If the monarch were to eat a
single apple from the garden Of a
peasant, the servants would pull up
the tree by the roots, and if the Snl-
tan orders five eggs to be taken by
force. his soldiers will spit thousand
fowls. The iniquitous tyrant re-

describes what shoddy is:
"Shoddy is, old wool made as good
as new. Every manufacturer Keeps

tul set OF teeth and an Unsuitable ap-
petite for old coats and old trousers
old anything that is made of wool.
Toss him an old garment, and he will
tear it to pieces in no time. The spun
and woven threads arc converted
into new threads q be woven once

made-with a mixture of new wool
looks very well. I defy you to tell
NC which is shoddy cloth and which
IS no.. We all wear shoddy without
knowing it. For light wear, shoddy
cloth will serve every purpose; but it
will not stand strain and exertion.
You must not attempt to practice
gymnastics In 4 pair OF shoddy
trousers. Here is the weakness of
shoddy-the shortness of the staple.
You know now, if you did not know
before, why the old clothes man is SO
eager and anxious to buy any gar

composed entirely of wool"
