Near Sheridan the oat and barley crop
has been seriously injured by the 'hoppers,
but the wheat crop is good. Further up

the crops do not seem to have suffered so
much, and good yield is in store for the

WINDOW GLAss.-There are seventy es.
Establishments in the United States devoted to
the production of window.glass. Twenty
seven of these are in New Jersey; the others
are scattered through New England, New
York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Ohio and
elsewhere in the West. The capital invested
in the industry is about s6,OO0,0O0 in New
Jersey alone, while the annual production of
that State is between 100000 and 5000, 600
boxes of the various qualities and sizes of
glass. The window-gass manufacturing in.
terest is now one of the principal industries
of this country, and is destined to ci.eck the
importation of glass to America; in fact,
many of the American manufacturers are now
exporting large quantities Of glass and glass
ware. It is believed that fully three.fourths
of the factories are now stopped-some few
in Pittsburgh being in operation. Somewhere
near $4,000 men and boys are now striking,
and it is not improbable that the number
will be increased. The plate glass for the
San Francisco Stock Exchange is 1856 inches
long and 12O inches wide, and is said to be
the largest glass ever imported.

MAKING AL1owANcEs.-We were struck,
the other day, by the reply of musician to
q friend who had asked him to play on pi-
ano which was out of tune. Some one was
present who had not before heard the pianist.
"Do play for us," said the musicians friend
"Mr. Blank will make allowances for the con.
dition of the piano. "Make allowances!"
replied the pianist; II have heard that all
my life, and it never was and never will be
true. Nobody makes allowances If pi.
anist plays on a bad piano, or tenor sings
when he has sore throat, or an orator gets
out of his death.bed to make speech-the
audience is disappointed because be does not
do his best work, and it carries away an i'm
preston of the performance that is likely to
last for lifetime. It's the same in house
keeping, and dressing, and business, and eve
rything else. People expect the best under
all circumstances. There is no such thing as
making allowances '"-Seribner.

INDIAN SHoPP1Na.-In the late autumn,
as soon as the rivers are locked in ice, and the
ground is covered With snow, the furs begin
to come in. As they are brought in by the
Indians they are traded for by the persons in
charge of the trading.store. If an Indian
were to bring in hundred skins Of different
sorts, or all alike, he would trade off every
skin separately, and insist on payment for
each skin as he sold it he likes the linked
sweetness of shopping long drawn out hence
it often occupies several days to barter batch
of furs. 1t is curious and interesting sight
to watch an Indian selecting from the stores
articles that he may require as he disposes of
skin after skin. IF he has only small quau-
tity of skins, he walks into the shop with his
blanket about him, and not skin visible.
After some preliminary skirmishing he pro-
duces skin from under his blanket, trades it,
taking in exchange what he absolutely needs
then be stops. Just as one thinks the trading
is over he produces another peltry from be-
meath his blanket, and buys something else.
Thus he goes on until, having bought all the
necessaries he requires. he branches off into
the purchase of fluxuries-candy, fancy neck.
ties, etc. Under so slow process an Indian
trader needs to possess more than average pa
tience. The skins, as fast as purchased, are
thrown behind the counter, and then carried
to the fur-room and piled in heaps that are
constantly turned and aired.-Hudson Bay

belonging to the tribe known to great many
as the "king snake" has taken up his abode
regularly, and among the rats and mice ne ls

species of serpent was harmless towards man,
but was relentless enemy towards all other
serpents, and as substantiating this idea we
will relate further incident concerning the
snake under discussion, which comes to us
through an authentic source. One day re.
Gently medium sized water moccasin was
seen lying on the sand below the mill, and
ere long the king snake was seen approaching
him cautiously. He crossed the small stream
which runs from the race below the wheel and
very slowly neared the moccasin, all the while
swaying his head from the right to the left.
This motion was more and more contracted
the nearer he approached, until when within
a few inches of his victim, he lay for some
time perfectly motionless. Then suddenly he
darted upon the moccasin; caught him by the
back of the neck, and proceeded to coil him.

al coils he freed his mouth hold upon the moe

and inserting his head through them he tied
himself in two or three or four knots around

tight indeed, for when he had remained there
some ten minutes he loosened himself aud

NEVER FoRGET ANYrH1Na.-Asu successful
business man told me there we're two things
he learned when he was eighteen, which were
ever afterward of great use to him, namely,
"never to lose anything, and never to forget
anything" An old lawyer sent him with an
important paper, with instructions what to do
with it. "But," inquired the young man,
suppose lose it; what shall I do then 7"
The answer was with the utmost emphasis,
"You must not lose it'll" II don't mean to-"
said the young man, "but suppose should
happen to?" "But say you must not happen
to; shall make no provision for any such
occurrence; you MUST NOT lose IP This
put new train of thought into the young
mans mind, and be found that if be was de-
termined to do thing he could do it. He
made such provision against every contin.
gency that he never lost anything. BE found
this equally true about forgetting If Ger.
tain matter Of Importance was to be remem.
bered, he pinned it down on his mind, fastened
it there, and made it stay. he used to say,
"When man tells me that he forgot to do
something, tell him he might as we'll have
said, 4 did not care enough about your bust.
ness to take the trouble to think of it again.
1 once had an intelligent young man in my
employment, who deemed it sufficient ex-
cuse for neglecting any important task to say
II forgot it." I told him that would not an
swer. If he was sufficiently interested, he
would be careful to remember. It was because
be did not care enough that he forgot. I
drilled him with this truth. He worked for
me three years, and during the last of the
three he was utterly changed in this respect.
He did not forget thing. His forgetting, he
found, was lazy and careless habit of mind,
uhinh he cured = Gn,,nfr1i Gentleman
