A Good One.

A Covington (Ky.l correspondent tells
this =" A country merchant visited the
city few days ago, and, going to Gin
cinnati, purchased from dollar store
table castor, which he took home with
him and after putting tag on it marked
Sl4, made it present to Methodist
preacher, whose church his family at
tended. The reverend gentlemen took
the package home, opened it, and ex-
amined the contents. The next day he
brought the castor with tag attached)
back to the groceryman, and said to
him:
am too poor in this worlds goods
to afford to display so valuable castor
on my table, and if you have no objec-
ton, should like to return it and take
Sl4 worth of groceries for my family in
its stead
"The merchant could do nothing but
acquiesce, but fancy his feelings"

Calculating Interest.

There are several rules for calculating
interest, which are used by many with
out understanding the principles on
which they are founded, these principles
being to them mystery. We consider
it very wrong ever to apply any rules
for making calculations without being
possessed of the key on which these
rules are based, and therefore, will ex-
plain the fundamental principle of sew
eral of the rules for calculating in
terest.
A rate of interest at per cent. is 100
of the capital, therefore divide the capt.
tai by 90 and you have the interest per
year divide this again by 365, the num-
ber of days in year. You may COM
bine these two operations, and divide
the capital at once by 365 multiplied by
20, that is, 1900, to have the interest
per day i'm dollars, and If you divide the
capital by 73, you have the interest at 8
per cent. per day in cents. This you
have only to multiply with the number
of days to find interest for given time /;
but this multiplication may be done first
it will avoid fractions-hencet the rule: :
Multiply the capital by the number Of
days, then divide the product by the
constant number 70, and you have the
interest at five per cent For per cent.
add 1-5, for per cent 2-5, for per cent.
SO, for 8 per cent. As, for 10 per cent.
! double it.

The standard remedies for all diseases
of the lungs are schenck's Pulmonic Syrup,
scheuck's Sea Weed Tonic and schenck's
Mandrake pills, and If taken before the lungs
are destroyed they effect a speedy cure. To
these medicines DR.. j. II. schenck, of Phia-
delpha, owes his unrivalled success In the
treatment of pulmonary diseases. The Pol
monte Syrup ripens the morbid matter in the
lungs, nature throws II of by an easy expec-
toration, and the patient has relief from the
prostrating cough. The Mandrake Pills must
be freely used to cleanse and stimulate the
stomach and liver; they remove all obstruc-
tions, relax the gall bladder and start the bile
{ eely and the liver is soon relieved. Schenck's
Sea Weed Tonic is a gentle stimulant and
Alternative the alkali of which IL is composed
mixes with the food and prevents souring. 1t
assists dgestisn by tonng up the stomach to
a healthy condition, so that the food and the
Pulmonlc Syrup will make good blood then
the lungs heal, and the patient will surely get
well If care is taken to avoid fresh cold. Full
directions accompany each preparation. All
who wish to consult DR.. schenck personally
can do so at his principal office, corner of Sixth
and Arch Sts., Phi'a. every Monday.
Letters to the above address, asking advice,
answered free of charge.

Compliments to Women.

Lessing exclaims, 50 Woman is the
masterpiece of the universe. Bourbon
says, " The pearl is the image of purity,
but woman is purer than the pearl.
Trackery writes, A good woman is the
lovliest flower that blooms under
heaven" Balzac says, "Even the
errors of woman spring from her faith
in the good" Voltaire declares, " All
the reasoning of men are not worth one
sentiment of woman" Lamartine as
serts that "women have more heart and
more imagination than men," Otway
exclaims, "Oh, woman lovely woman
Nature made thee to temper men. We
had been brutes without you"

THE GHOST ROBBER.

ON A FINE evening in the spring of
" 1880, stranger, mounted on a noble
looking horse, passed slowly over the
snow-white limestone road leading
through the Black Forest.
Just as the sun was going to rest for
the day, when the gloomy shadows were
beginning to stalk, he drew rein, as he
said:
" This must be near the spot, surely.
I'll stop here, anyhow, for a while, and
see what can learn.'
He thereupon dismounted and entered
the parlor of the inn, where he sat down
beside small table.
How can l serve you, meinheer ?"
said the landlord
See TO my horse outside" replied the
guest carelessly, but at the same time
eyeing the landlord from head to foot !;

The landlord was turning to withdraw
from the strangers presence, when he
stopped and said:
(which way, meinheer, do you
travel ~
"To Nanstadt," replied the guest.
"You will rest here to. night, L sup
pose" continued the landlord.
Il will stay here for two or three
hours, but must then he off, so as to
reach my destination there in the morn
ing. 1 am going to purchase lumber for
the market"
And you have considerable money
with you, no doubt" asked the land
lord innocently.
" Yes considerable, ?" replied the guest,
slipping at his wine disinterestedly.
"Then, if you'll take my ADVICE"
said the landlord, you'll stay here till
morning."
Why ?" replied the stranger, looking
up curiously.
Because" whispered the landlord,
looking around as if he was disclosing a
great secret, and was afraid of being
heard by somebody else, "every man
that passed over the road between this
and Nanstadt at midnight, for the last
ten years, has been robbed or murdered
under very singular circumstances.
What were the circumstances 2" the
stranger asked, putting down his glass
empty, and preparing to fill it again.
