AS the time is at hand when home
made preserves are all used up, we call
your attention to our large supply of
canned fruit which we are offering at our
usual low prices. It is generally poor
policy to buy low grade goods, but more
especially canned goods than any other;
it is often actually money thrown away
to purchase any but the very best in this
line. We are, of course, obliged to carry
some inferior brands, but make it q rule
to always get the best obtainable, sell
these MS cheap as low grades are sold
elsewhere, and recommend those to our
customers. j. SCHUETTE & Bros.

ICE.

The ice boom is what is attracting con-
siderable attention at present. In the
early part of the season when the ice
was comparatively thick, but little was
saved. The warm weather which epsued
almost dispersed the ice and the hopes
of those who purposed laying in stock
for the summer. There is movement
now by some parties in Chicago and Mil
waukee, to charter most of the vessels in
our harbor, and load them with ice from
the river. The Blatz Brewing Company
is about to send up three schooners from
Milwaukee to take on cargoes of ice from
the river here. The ice is not of the
very best quality, but the probabilities
are that it is as good now, if not better
than it will be at any time during the re-
mainder of the winter. Every one in the
city who uses ice in large quantities is at
present busy in cutting and storing it.

very unpopular and in many towns in

acted every few years for the purpose of
killing off lot of worthless ours, which
flourish when Legislation is friendly. The
dog law is burdensome to those who
have good dogs; but there are SO many
half starved ours securing the country,
killing sheep and committing other
depredations, that their periodical killing
off is no slight blessing. Many men will
keep three or four poor dogs rather than
one good one, and they prove an unmit-

Making Profits Ont Of Human Weakness.

1t is not only among lawyers that a
certain class, is found who induce quar-
relsome or aXarieious people to go into
lawsuits by telling them they are right
and must seek redress by law. They
do this only for the purpose Of obtain
ing their professional fees, in place of
giving them the honest advice to settle.
amicably, by mutual agreement, as IN
nine cases o1st of ten sCOuld be far better:
We find the same class of men among
doctors, who, when people mention
some slight ailment, make them believe
that they are sick, or soon will be very
sick if thew do not take a certain course.
of medical treatment which they will
prescribe. They also do this for the
purpose of obtaining a professional foe,
in place of giving them the honest adj
vice to fast for one or two days, to take
rest, and so stop drinking and smoking,
if they are addicted to these vices. In
nine cases ont of ten this a0outd be. far
better.
The lawyer of this class makes the
client believe that he has been wronged
and the doctor makes the patient be-
lieve that he is very sick. They all
have their own profit in view and play
upon human weakness, which, in some
individuals, consists in combatiyeness,
in others in imaginary weakness of
body, and again, in. others, IN conceit
about their mental accomplishments.
There is no profession in which men
can make money out OF it, by telling
people about their weakness of mind.
The only mental weakness OF which
people sometimes complain is defective
memory, but they will never complain
about defective judgment or defective
common sense. This agrees perfectly
with what German physician has late
ly argued in an essay, that insanity is
blessing, as the insane live in an ideal
sphere, which usually is far happier
than the reality in the world of trouble
through which they have passed and
which made them insane. But the fools
outside of the asylums, which largely
outnumber those in confinement, are
happy also, while the sensible people
have all the cares. How far it is right
to attempt the cure of the insane is
another question The German physi-
clan referred to considers it an act of
unklndneSs. if not cruelty, to restore
the happy lunaties in asylums again to
this world of troublesome realities,

A Fashionable Pastime.

The idle, fashionable woman (writes
New York correspondent has taken
to a new diversion. She polisbes her
nails. She extends her hand to you
with great frequency nowadays, and
always with the back upwards and the
fingers Strengthened out. That is be-
cause she wishes you to observe the
nails, which shine like glass and are of
delicate pink hue. Who knows what
started this mania? Nobody can ever
discover the origin of such things. The
distemper breaks out somehow, and
then extends from person to person.
The New York woman of leisure,
whether she be left in the city, or is to
be found at-some near seashore, resort,
now passes about four hours day at
work on her nails. Her tool is an arti-
Gle somewhat like the wooden handles
or holders for blotting paper-a narrow
strip of ebony, ivory or India rubber,
with knob on one side and surface
of chamois skin on the other. Some of
these polishers are fancifully made, and
SO is not an unusual price; but cheap
ones do the work as well, and q home
made article answers the purpose. The
best of them have device for handily
fastening in fresh strips of channels skin,
bat taeks viii do. The essentials aIe
polishing substance and plenty of indus
try. a mixture is sold in the stores at
a pretty high price, and it has beauti-
full name and liable; but it is q simple
composition of rotten-stone, oil and
rouge. Anybody can mix it for herself
The stuff is daubed on the rubber, and
assiduous friction does the rest. The
rotten-stone and oil smooth and polish
the nails, just as metal, bone and ivory,
are made 10 shine by the workmen, and
the rouge imparts pinkish color. The
enthusiastic industry displayed by the
women in this summer amusement is
wonderful. They rub, rub, rub, by the
hour, usually in parties, making this
employment take the place of needle
work. There was once an old woman
who scrubbed her kitchen floor until
she wore her way through and fell into
the cellar, breaking her neck. Some
thing like that viii happen to these nail
pol;shers, for nails cannot thicken by
growth as fast as they are now secured
away. The polishing is not all done on
the finger-nails. The toe-nails are beau
tiful, too. What is the use of giving
time and labor to making toe-nails pink
and glossy? Well, this is the season
when most metropolitan women battle
more or less at the seashore. and some
of them show their feet in doing so.

Our Happy Old Ancestors.

1t is great pity that anybody has to
do anything between June and Sep
TENDER. How much happier were our
ancestors than ourselves! Why, l was
telling my son this morning about his
ancestors, and just envied them. When
they awoke at sunrise they Just kicked
off the bear skin, dipped themselves
into the creek, if there was creek
handy, ana didn't if there wasn't, hung
a wolf skin over their shoulders, and
they were dressed for the day. This
was long ago, because we come of
very old family. Our family records
show, that our direct ancestors had the
handsomest cave in their range of
mountains and stranger couldn't get
up in the night for drink of water
without falling over skull. And they
never had to do stroke of work. All
day long the gentlemen hunted, not so
much for sport as for meat. And the
ladies stayed at home and talked gossip
and chewed wolf skins to make them
soft and pliable for children's winter
clothing. A man didn't 90 roaring and

There was no such thing as soap, and
they had no use for towels. And they
never worried about salaries and the
prices of commodities. When they
wanted anything they stoleit, and when
they eouldn't steal it in a sublime spirit
of contentment they went without it.
And politics never worried them either.
The man with the biggest club and the
longest arm was President by unani-
nous vote every time, and the man who
objected to the election was promptly
sold to the Ohio medical students in the
interest of science. Those were the

dent on his shape. They were good
men, those ancestors of mine, in their
day. | am not ashamed of them, be-

and made more noise about it, and they
had more gods than they had
words in their language. They
fought a little, stole some and lied a
great deal, and swore every time they
thought of it, put they never played
croquet, and were proof against the
vanity of roller skates. There were
some good things about them after all.
The best thing l know about them is
their distance, their remote antiquity.
L revere the rare good sense which
prompted them to live and get through
with it and die, about three or four
thousand years before their more fastid-

Fraud in Coins.

"GOd hath made man upright, said
the preacher, ''but they have sought
out many inventions" If the wise King
had lived in these days he would have
found in the devices of swindlers illus
trations of mans "many inventions"
The amount of punched" silver
coins in circulation shows that some
body is stealing from the money that
belongs to the people. Silver dollars,
half dollars and quarters are frequently
given in change, in which holes have
been made so that from ten to fifteen
per cent. of the metal has been punched
out. One hundred silver dollars thus
mutilated pay the swindler at least ten
dollars for two or three hours work.
These punched coins are taken at
restaurants and retail stores when Of
fered by regular customers. The per-
sons who take them pass them off on
other customers. The banks refuse to
receive them. Out of three thousand
dollars in silver sent to a New York
broker, sixty-seven dollars were found
mutilated. The simple remedy for the
prevention of this crime is for every
body to refuse to receive a mutilated
coin. Then the swindler will find his
occupation gone. As no one but an
ignorant, person would receive gold
coin with a hole in it, unless at dis
count, the swindlers do not mutilate
gold eagles, half eagles, or quarters,
But they tamper with them in other
ways. A new twenty-dollar gold piece
weighs five hundred and sixteen grains.
The minimum weight at which they are
received by the Government is one-half
of one per cent. less, which is the al
lowance made for Legitimate wear. The
swindlers take advantage of this fact.
They buy new gold coins, shake them
up in a buckskin bag and thus wear
them down. Then by burning the bag
in a crucible they get the gold that has
been rubbed off by the shaking. Some
times they bore hole into five dollar
piece from the edge and taking out the
gold insert a copper wire. The coin is
of the true weight, but it will not ring.
Another mode of operating is to take
off one face of twenty dollar gold
piece and bore out the gold until mere
shell remains. 1t is then filed with
platinum, the other face added, and the
edges remilled. Only a first-class ex-
pert can recognize these coins, which
pay the swindlers about sixteen dollars
for each twenty dollar piece thus ma
