The Dangers Of Good Reputation.

The crime of Treasurer Chace of the
Union Mills of Fan River, Mass, does
not call for any comment different from
that which has been made often Of late
so often that moral reflections upon
embezzlement have come to be stock
newspaper matter. The defalcation in
this case is heavy. The amount, SO far
as ascertained, is nearly half million
of dollars. The resulting distress not
only to the company but to financialin-
stitutions and private persons may not
be known for some time. The manu-
featuring corporation which is the chief
sufterer seems to have conducted its
business upon an extensive scale and.
as the event shows, not carefully; to
have been filed, indeed, with tile fast
and furious speculative temper of recent
times. There is unfortunately nothing
new or strange in that. ,sa "a
II is reported that Mr.. Chace has
been a man of excellent reputation.
Neither is this surprising. The persons
who commit crimes of this sort usually
are persons of excellent reputation; and
for an obvious reason. If they we're
not so the opportunity to embezzle
never would be given them. They
would not be trusted with property and
they could not steal it. If a drunken
sxagabond or an escaped convict, had
applied for the appointment of Treas
urer of the Union Mills he would have
been promptly put out Of doors. The
man of supposed stainless integrity
was taken instead. None other could
have secured chance to forge and rob.
The facts suggest the peculiar dangers
of a good reputation. They show why
good men should be watched and
wish to be watched. They remind us
that reputation and character are by
no means identical, and that the former
may be preserved after the latter is
wholly gone.-N. Y EUening Post.

The. Latest Trick OF Trade.

The Miller gives an account of a new
trick where one would think it impossi-
BILE TO make point. For instance,
good honest wheat is good the world
over. But it is not so good when it has
gone through the hands of a manipula-
tor who oils it. The practice now OBJ
tains to q considerable extent on the
Continent. 1t is stated that wheat,
which in its natural condition would
weigh 123 Dutch pounds, by the proc
ess of oiling will gain about sir pounds,
or from 10 to II per cent, in weight
more than there really is of wheat.
The gain on the part of the dishonest
seller is from twenty shillingsto twenty
five shillings per ton. The apparent
increase in the specific gravity is OBJ.
tanned by an outlay for rape oil of about
four pence Wheat thus treated can
never be made into good flour The
practice is not confined to wheat alone,
but is applied to all grain sold by
weight. Of course the adulteration can
be easily detected. But wheat oiled in
this way is really a handsomer grain in
appearance than when no such applica-
tion has been made. 1t has been posi-
BILE to adulterate flour and sugar. But

this country. where wheat is so cheap,

A Dipl0matist's Novel Way OF In.
creasing His Salary.

Wit is sometimes of good service to
the statesman or diplomatist. When
Queen Elizabeth first proposed to De-
foe, the famous civilian, to employ
him on diplomatic mission to Flan-
ders, she told him, among many other
things, that he should have twenty
shillings day for his expenses, which
at that time was thought liberal al
lowance. "Then, Your Highness, !"
said the doctor, al will spend nineteen
shillings day in Your Majesty's serv-
ice." What will you dowith the odd
shilling?' said the Queen. "Oh, ]
will reserve that for my wife and two
children" This answer had the effect
intended, and a considerable increase
was Immediately made in his allow
ance. Notwithstanding this, he was
pressed for money during his stay in
Flanders, and thought of novel plan
to get a supply; he sent in a packet to
the Secretary of State two letters; one
to the Queen, and the other to his wife,
which he misdirected, so that the let
ter to his wife was addressed To Her
Most Excellent Majesty" and that to
the Queen inscribed ITO his dear
WIFE" The Queen, having opened the
letter, was surprised to find it be-
ginning with !" Sweetheart" and after
ward interlarded with "my DEAR
'tmy love-" and other affectionate ex.
pressions. 1t concluded with request
ing her to be very economical, for he
could send her nothing, as he was very
short of money, and could not think o1
trespassing on the bounty Of Hel
Majesty any further. Whether the
Queen suspected the trick, or believed
in his necessities, is not certain; but ar
immediate supply of money was sem
both to the doctor and his family.

oyster depot, at IL Greenwich avenue.
A small team-engine furnishes the mo-
tive power for the machine, which is
very simple, consisting Of an armature
revolving between the poles Of a pow
erful electromagnetic. A strong current
of electricity is thus generated. Two
electric wires are attached to the ma
chine, and they convey the electricity
to the various burners. Each of these
burners consists of two sticks of car
bon, separated by piece Of glass,
which are attached, in an upright posi-
tiOn, to the wires. The electricity is
ignited by the application Of an ordinary
piece of metal to the burners. The
light thus produced is dazzlingIy brill
liant and very beautiful, so far snrpass-
ing the ordinary gas-Gght that the lat
ter looks yellow and dirty beside it.
Any number of lights may be supplied
by the same wires. and Mr.. Fuller has
succeeded in SO subdividing the current
of electricity that any one Of the lights
can be extinguished without affecting,
in the slightest degree, the other lights
on the same circuit. This had not been
accomplished before. Mr.. Fullersays he
can light buildings in any part Of the city
by extending his wires to them through
the streets. He also says he can light
the streets with electricity. and to prove
this he has stretched his wires to post
on the sidewalk, in front of the build
ing, where he keeps light burning
every evening. This light is far more
brilliant than any calcium-light, and il :
Eliminates the street for a block. One
of these lights would illuminate whole
block, and far better, too, than dozen
or more of street-lamps. In lighting
up a house, porcelain or ground-glass
shades are used for softening the glare
of the light. The cost of production is
very slight, much less than that of the
ordinary gas.-N Y. Sun. 500

An Interesting Group Of Monkeys.

Four cbimpanzees and one orang-
outang may now be seen at the New
York York Aquarium. A more interest
ing group of animals it would be diff
cult to imagine, although the thought
full spectator can scarcely help feeling
a little uncomfortable when he looks
upon these creatures so like and yet so
unlike man. The oldest of the chim-
panzees is nine years old, the others
are four years younger. The nine-year-
older is three feet high, his younger fell
lows are a foot shorter. but do not
think any less of themselves on that ac-
count. They look like lot of very old
men, wizened and shrivelled by the
lapse of two or three centuries, but
with the glittering eyes and agility of
youth. They teaze each other just like
children, and cry when they are cross
or hurt, in tones that are startlingly
human. Their affection for their keep
er is ridiculous. They cry if he does
not pay attention to them, and, at a
word from him, leap into his arms and
nestle closely to his breast. Their ca
resses are grotesque, but fervent, and
it is scarcely too much to say that they
behave as if they knew that they were
orphans in strange land and utterly
dependent upon the kindness of their
captors.

haps Tuck may be the exception which
proves the rule. She and her sisters
regard the orang-outang with disdain.
They are, in their own eyes atleast, the
aristocrats of the monkey world, and
do not consort with fellow who has
not toe or finger nails. Beside, the
orang is surly-looking creature, and
would be very likely to use his teeth in
the discussion of any social topic, and
these are arguments of which his more
delicate companions do not approve.
The chimpanzees eat very much the
same kind of food as human children.
Their bill of fare includes sago, bread
and honey, dry bread, rice and tea, and
other dishes well known in the nursery.
