THE SORROWS OF A PEDDLER.

A long wasted lady, having seductive
smile aud winning ways, called upon a
Detroit shoemaker recently to convince
him that he needed a metal hair brush "a
novelty Just out, and in the hands OF can
vaSserS.
After he had put in about five minutes
talk, he uncovered his bald head and asked
Where is there anything to brush with
it >"
'Then your wife could use it," she said.

unwilling TO let him off.

" Nell, don't you ever brush your scalp?''

c5S A foreign ship builders circular as
sures American ship-builders that they
must abandon wooden for iron sailing ves-
sells, and even then they can go in the mar
ket and buy cheaper than they can build.
Perhaps part of this is true. The ten
dcncy of shipping to iron is strong. 1t
gets a higher price per ton than wooden
vessel and lasts longer. But our iron ship
builders declare they can compete with the
world at present prices; since 1868 they
have turned out $50 steamships and sailing
vessels, and they now build thirty year.
The war left us with only %, 800 tons in
steam vessels in the foreign trade: our pres
ent steam tonnage so engaged is 7S0, 12S
tons. Then we had 4S2, 100 tons sail in
ocean traffic, now l, ,592, 900. So that we
have been making progress. Now that
economical conditions are more favorable,
it is to be hoped that the revival of Ameri-
can commerce will be more apparent.

high. the excitement is intense, and the
profits enormous. In this way he is dis

realizes a handsome sum, enough to supply
