LIE WILD FOG OF IyDIA.

Those who have formed their coucep-
tion Of pig exclusively upon the tame
pig of the civilized stg. have no adequate
idea Of the free wild pig Of the Indian
Jungle. Like The North American In
dian. the pig is dabasel by contact with
civilization. lie becomes cO"ardly-
weak, dirty. and a prey 10 an iHordinale
thirst for swiIl. The distance between
the tame Indian of Saratoga, who steals
chickens and wailows drunken in the
gutter, and the fierce warrior al iHe
Western plains is Da. greater tha. that
which separates the despised pig ot civ
ilizatiou from lhe wiid and fearless
quarry of the East Indian Ti--s.iekeI.
The latter pig, whose spirit has never
been broken With pig yolEs. ard whose
moral nature has never been poisoned
with swill- is one Cl the lrG,rst iaHabit-
ants of the Jungle, and has been known
to attack and put 10 TonEe ;he n-alaS-

THE STORE AND THE TRADE.

A study of this ground plan, incom-
Plete as it is, will give you a better idea
of the store, and of what is in it, than de-
scription can do. The store covers 2H
acres; a basement is under, and galleries
are over, a part. The whole affords
somewhere about 5 acres of room.
This particular business is 4 years old;
it began in 1876 with clothing; in 1877
itbecame a general store with such goods
as you see in the plan, with carpets, up
holstery, furniture, and litchen-furnishing
upstairs. Since that time gallery after
gallery has been added; and there is
not an inch of room to spare anywhere
To the surprise of many, it has fourished
while trade was languishing almost
everywhere else,
To us there is no mystery about it:

INHERITED ANTIPtTIUE~.-- Cows
hate dogs ustiuctiycly from their calE-

on time whether the hatred was not Of
artificial origin, and wholly induced Icy

dogs a woIt, ou the i0r-St-clad plains Of
Central Europe. When "a COW puts up

baby some dim, instructive conscious.
Less that it stands i'm the presence of p
dangerous. hereditary foe : and as the
wolves could only seize with safety n sin

make common cause against the IntrUd-

till his tail finally disappears under The
opposite gate
Such Inherited autipaih hies seem com

CHESTNUT ST. ENTRANCE.

Eothing surprising even; unless it be
surprising that SO conspicuous a business
should ever be misunderstood. We do
nothing more than simply to provide
facilities for your getting what you want.
We don't mean to say that other
facilities are not provided for distributing
goods; but that's a different thing.
We provide 50 that you get what you
want, eractZy 70lEat 1'0H 7ou1tI In the
first place we've got it In the second
place we send it. And if we send you
the wrong thing, or if you think the
charge IS too much, you bundle it back
to US.
We tell of these things in the news
papers, because there are thousands of
you who don't know what we are
doing; thousands of you don't know the
character of the stock that fills these (
acres; thousands Of you who, therefore,
buy where you pay more money.
We are every merchants fair and
open competitor. We do not expect to
gather millions Of trade from all over
the country without meeting opposition
and misrepresentation Some will be-
lieve whatever is said against US. The
only answer we make is Send back
whatever you don't want at the price.
