A Match Caused by q Shoe.

A fashionable shoemaker tells pretty
little story that reads well even though
it may be cunningly devised lie. His
work is exclusively in ladies' footwear.
and to an inquisitive reporter he said !;
"Last year made pair of shoes for a
lady who had as pretty feet as were ever
fashioned. 1t was \ pleasure for me to
make the shoes, and when they were
finished put them in the show-windOw
in very conspicuous place, where l
could view them at my leisure. Pretty
soon nicely dressed gentleman stopped
and began viewing them very attentive
". Presently he entered the store and
inquired if they were for sale. told
him no, that they were made for one Of
my customers. He looked surprised,
and asked the lady's name. l would not
give him this much satisfaction, but told
him where she lived, however. Twas
considerably surprised to learn after
ward that he was calling at the house,
and more surprised still, when the lady.
accompanied by the gentleman, called
at the store three months later. She
called him dear then, so guess they
were married.

Cheerful Conversation.

That part of life which we ordinarily
understand by the word conversation is
an indulgence to the sociable part ofour
make, and should incline US to bring our
proportion of good will or good humor
among the friends We meet with, and
not to trouble them with relations which
must of necessity oblige them to a real
or feigned affection. Cares, distresses,
diseases, uneasiness and dislikes of our
own are by no means to be obtruded
upon our friends. II we would consider
how little Of this vicissitude of motion
and rest which we call life is spent with
satisfaction, we should be more tender
of our friends than to bring them little
sorrows which do not belong to them.
There is no real life, but cheerful life !;
therefore valetudinarians should be
sworn before they enter into company
not to say word of themselves until
the meeting breaks up.-Spectator.

Queer People in the Catskills.

There are some queer people in the
Catskills. The other day I and a friend
called at the Grip Van Wrinkle House"
got two milk punches, two more ditto,
and two cigars. handed the elderly
Ganymede behind the bar 50. After
much thought he handed me back $40
"You've made a mistake" said l.
"That's so," said he, after more
thought. Then he scooped in the S5
and left me the 40 cents "That's an
other mistake" said /. After much de-
liberation he pushed over the five-dOllar
bill to me and said: "Oh, pay when
you come again" But I'm not COM
ing again." persisted. That troubled
him. With great mental effort he fig
ured up for q full minute. The COM
pound arithmetical problem was too
much for him. "Oh, take drink and
call it square!" said he. Queer people,
the Catskillians. In one respect they
are like the peace of God-they pass all
Understandings fuccier.

The importance Of law that would pro.
tect trade marks Is receiving marked Atten-
ton from the business public as well as from
Congress, the brands on some goods adding
largely to their commercial value, because
their merit Is known to the consumer, and
the buyer looks to trade mark As constituting
his security. Thus the Gorham trade mark
on sterling silverware; COlgates' mark to in.
dictate the various grades of their soaps and
toilet goods, has also very high commercial
value. The CHARTER OAK STOVE has o
peculiar value Of its own which so distin-
guishes II from all others that it has acquired
very large commercial value. Lorillard
Tobaccos are goods that the consumer asks
for in the same way. The law cannot be too
severe In protecting honest manufacturers.
The burning Of the great stove works gave
dealers some excuse for substituting other
stoves for the CHARTER OAK, but now that
the CHARTER OAK factory is at work again
turning out over 200 stoves day. the trade
can get their orders filed promptly, and the
year 1881 bids fair to surpass all previous
years in the demand forth famous CHARTER
OAK make. t4-55)

until he tried ST. JACOBS OIL, one bottle Of which
effected complete and radical cure. Another

We have ii upon common report
that chewing gum is substance well
known to the youthful part of the
community. The qualities which it
possesses at the time it comes from the
confectioncr are NIL familiar TO the
youngest of u. One easily compre-
hends the main ingredients of candy;
but who, without being told, would
suspect that chewing gum is often
only refined product Of petroleum.
The time was when the fragrant spruce
furni she'd the most common material
for the purpose. But this isno longer
the case. The reader, familiar with
the processes OF refining coal oil, i,
aware that the thick, brown liquid
which comes from the earth, at one
stage Of its manufacture, is strained
through heavy linen cloths. The resi-
dunn left after this operation is dir
", brown yellow wax that smells
abominably. That unpromising SUBJ
stance, melted, blcachcd, deodorized
and prepared for commerce, appears
in misses that weigh about ono hum
dred pounds, resembling oblong blocks
of coudcd ice. II has no odor and 10
taste, except what bclongs to any wax
in its pucsJ state. 1t may be used for
many purposes, but it is not necessary
to describe them now. The manu,ac-
turer OF chewing gum purchases these
blocks ready made to his hand, and AZ
once melt, them down. TO two hum
drcd pounds of wax lie adds about
thirty pounds of sugar, and gives the
mixture a flavor by the use Of some
essential oil, such as lemon or vanilla,
and perhaps adds some coloring mat
ter, The melted mass is poured out
upon Il clean marble slab, and cut in
the various shape, hnown to mostlca-
tors.

examine terrible disease OF the neejoint,

skiIfully performed by DR.. Pierce, and as

eases, Taken for time it so purifies and
strengthens the system as to strongly forti-
fly it against the enCroaChmcnts of diseases.

The New Waltz.

A letter to the New York Sun from
Long Branch says "The Waiting was
of the new kind, in which the dancers
slide three times one way as fast and
far as their legs will let them, and
three times the opposite way. a cou-

new way, and deemed it an improper
" agile and athletic diversion. The
old way was plenty lively enough for
her. But there was no such under
standing between the two when they
stood up together to dance. The new
waltz begins without prcmonition,
scooting oil suddenly sideways like q

was the initial movement Of this
young gentleman. Encircling the
young lady firmly with his muscular
right arm, and gripping her right hand
with his left, he measured oil about
half the width Of the parlor with
three vigorous filings of his long and
slalwart legs. 1t wasa complete sur
prise to his partner. She was carried
of her feet ut first. Then her slippers
beat quick tattoo on the floor IN her
struggle to regain equilibrium, and
she Rugged her partner desperately.
The sweet smile on her face gave place
to an expression of annoyance, and
that to terror. AS for the young gen.

right. Away he went, three jumps in
the contrary direction. She accom-
