CuriOsities OF Trade.

The demand for eye-stOnes has fallen
off very largely, but they are kept still,
and sold in considerable quantities. The
eye-stone will clear the eye. There is
no doubt about that, but its movements
are regulated by its shape and by for
nation on the fiat side or base of the
stone, similar to blade in a turbine
water wheel. The whole resembles a
shell Just begun-before the cavity was
formed, if shells were so formed, but
are not. The stone is composed of lime,
and vinegar or any acid by its action
upon it causes motion. The stones are
found on the seashore on the Pacific
coast. Sailors gather them by the quart,
and vend in trade centers. The price
is ten cents.
Bookstores are also called for, not
the kind known to seal rings and sleeve
buttons, but glass stones or beads of the
color of blood, dark red. These are
worn to prevent the nose bleed, al
though the old plan to prevent, namely,
to keep the nose out of other persons
business, is in use still and works well.
With string through the glass bead
and the string around the owners neck
the liability to nose bleed is removed.

A Parsee's Oath.

A singular incident lately occurred in
a London witness-box during the hear
ing OF case in which Parsee gentle
man was called upon to give evidence.
He objected to being sworn either on
the Old or New Testament, and not
being Mohammedan, he could not be
sworn on the Koran; but he produced
from his breast a ''sacred relic" and
said that by making declaration and
holding the charm in his hand,
and not concealing it, the act
would be binding on his conscience.
The Commissioner thought that under
the peculiar circumstances he would be
justified in taking the witness declara-
ton. ii at the same time he he'd the
charm" uncOncealed in his hand, and
declared that he would consider the act
sufficiently binding upon him to bear
true testimony in the matter at issue.
1t is said to be usual to swear Parsees
holding the tail of COW, which in In
dia is regarded as sacred animal.

DiOgenes.

Many hundreds of years ago lived a
very strange man whose name was
Diogenes. His home was in the city OF
Athens, in Greece. The people OF
Athens are very polite, but this strange
man took pride in being very impolitc.
He made himself very disagreeable.
People stared at him and laughed at
him. This was just what pleased
Diogenes. Many people called him a
great man. This pleased him more yet.
He was so odd, and behaved so strange
ly, that after while a good many tried
to initiate him and to act as strangely
as he did. This pleased him, perhaps,
most of all. Sometimes Diogenes slept
in the sand and sometimes on the veran-
das of houses or in doorways. Some
times he used to take tub around with
him. When night came he would curl
himself up like kitten and 90 to sleep
in the tub. One bright, sunny day,
when the city was full of people. he
took a lighted lantern and walked down
the street. He looked as if he were
hunting for something. "What are you
looking for with your lantern in this
bright daylight?'' the peopled asked.
81 am looking for an honest man."
growled Diogenes.
At this time there lived a great war
rior and Emperor who had made him
self more famous than any one else in
the world. Great crowds followed him,
and threw up their hats, and cheered.
His name was Alexander. Perhaps he
was really the greatest man in the world.
So he was called Alexander the Great.
One day Alexander marched by where
Diogenes sat summing himself in the
sand. The people were cheering as
usual, and making a great noise. But
Diogenes sat quite still, caring nothing
about the Emperor. When Alexander
passed by Diogenes he noticed this. He
wondered why this poorly clothed man
paid him no attention. Then he turned
to Diogenes with a frown, and said in
very naughty manner: ''Do you know
that l am Alexander" Everybody
thought that Diogenes would turn pale
and be very much confused. But he
only looked up and answered with as
much pride as if he were an Emperor
himself: "Do you know that 1 am
Perhaps we may all adj
mire his independence as much as Alex
ander is said to have DONE Diogenes
always lived this queer sort of life.
He was an old, old man when he died.

Condition of American Shipping
Rochester linton.

A petition is before the Legislature
against the proposed repeal of the act passed
last year by an almost unanimous vote ex-
empting from all State and local taxation
vessels registered In any part of the State
of New York owned by American citizens
and engaged in ocean commerce between
any ports Of the United States and any
foreign port. Although this petition comes
from single northumberland Lauter-
bach, of New York-it represents large
interest and touches q measure of some con-
eern TO the whole commonwealth. The act
referred to was passed for the purpose of
contributing as much as It was able toward
the eencouragemento of American shipping and
the revival of American commerce. The
example was a worthy one for Congress to
follow. 1t is to acts Of Congress, passed at
the instance Of Republican protectionists
and sanctioned by Republican admistrations
that we are indebted for the present de-
pressed condition of the shipping. And
what is that condition, as compared with
what 1t has been In former yearss We will
allow the New York Tribune, which Is ultra
Republican in politics and favors high tariffs
for the fostering of mouopolies, and which,
while tearfully bewailipg the situation, con-
ceals the real cause thereof, to answer. In
an article on the subject it presents the fol-
lowing comparative figures on the foreign
trade:
