RECENT PUBLICATIONS.

Young Folks History of Mexico'' by Frederick A. Ober, author of Camps in the Carribees," is an excellent book for chil- dren. MT. Ober's visits to Mexico have en- abled him not only to compile and 10 con- dense judiciously, but also to write the descriptive part of the volume with under standing. The book is profusely and well illustrated. Published by D. Lothrop & Co.,, Boston, and for sale in this city by H. H. Peck
 ''In Sancho Panzas Pit" by Mrs. B. Sim Cunningham, is 8 very readable stery It takes the name from the story of Sancho supposed abyss only to find ont in the morn- ing that he is only few feet from the ground. The hero knocks down a fellow who insults him, and taking it for granted that he has killed him hides for years without taking the trouble to find out whether the man is alive or not. The heroine is sweet little creature who does not think of such 8 thing as resentment against her lover for de- serting her without word and treating her very shabbily. It all turns out right in the end. Published by J. B. Lippincott & Co.,, Philadelphia, and for sale in this city by Judd the bookseller.
 ''Pearls of the Faith or, Islan's Rosary, D by Edwin Arnold, is published by Roberts Brothers, Boston. ''It is the custom of many pious Muslims, /" says MT. Arnold, in his preface, to employ in their devotions a three stringed chaplet, each string contain ing thirty three beads, and each bead rep- resenting one of the ninety nine beautiful names of Allah * The faithful pass these ninety nine beads of the rosary through their fingers, repeating with each, Name of God'-an ejaculation of praise and worship" !" MT. Arnold has in this volume enumerated these ninety nine names of Alleh-'sThe Merciful,' ''Fhe Compassionate sThe King of Kings" 'sThe Holy One," and the like--and appended to each legend, a tradi- tion CT comment, in verse, maintaining the point of view of pious Mussulman. These short poems, of various lengths and in vari- ous measures, constitute an orthodox and poetic interpretation of the Koran-"tender as well as terrible, lofty in morality, albeit grim and stern in dogma" Many are mere ly dogmas and commandments in rhyme, some are pious meditations and others are expressions of high aspirations. This vol ume completes the Oriental trilogy which Mr. Arnold began with ''The Indian Song of Songs." and continued with ssThe Light of Asia" For sale in this city by H. H. Peck

A Good Time to Halt.


 Ignoring the fact that the consumption of goods can only equal the legitimate demand and that no forcing process can possibly stimulate that consumption, many dealers have adopted the plan of selling large in- voices of goods on long time, and in order
 to appear to be keeping in line with those who do only short credit business, date the bills months ahead. This is done to work of the accumulations at the factories and allow the manufacturing process to go on. But it only puts of the evil day and brings addition al disasters eventually. The present is a good time to halt The tendencies are clear 1y noted. Every wise business man who runs
 may read. The condition of trade is only a little overstrained as yet, but a continuance of the same policy can only result in final disaster. The country can pay for the goods 1t needs. It can't and won't pay for those it don't need simply to oblige manufacturers and dealers The manufacturers and dealers
 who do not realize this hard fact HOW will understand 1t by and by if they persist in making m ore goods than are needed, simply to be able to sell them on long time. Short credits and prompt collections are the only safe business maxims, even in times of pros- perity. If always adhered to there would never be any seasons of real business disaster.

FREE RUM IN SWITZERLAND.

FREE RUM IN SWITZERLAND. The 'tcurse of intsmperance' is grievous
 enough in all civilized countries, but few, if any, suffer from it as deas the Republic of Switzerland Previous to 1874 the cantona 1 but in 1874 the constitution of Switzerland
 established the right of every Swiss citizen to 1 trade without hindrance in any part of the
 confederation. The federal tribunal has con- I strued this article as authorizing liquor deal CTS to transact their business as unrestricted | ly as dealers in provisions or any other ne- cessity.
 As 8 result of this freedom the trade in in- l toxicating liquors has grown to shocking proportions. There is 8 public house for every one hundred and thirty persons. De- ducting women, children and the sick, each tavern is supported by thirty persons. Gro- cers and confectionsrs also are dealers to 8 certain extent, and if they are included in the list, the aggregate amount of liquor con- stunned is remarkable. It is computed that scarcely house iz Geneva, where flats are common. is without wine shop, tavern or coffee house. A bottle of brandy can be bought for eightpence in the canton of Gs- neva, and the average sum yearly spent for drink in that canton is fifty dollars person A correspondent of the London Times quotes from a pamphlet whose author had opportu- nifty to see the books of g contractor keeping 8 public house. One week this innkeeper and employer had to pay out no money to his workmen, who spent so T0T1nh for1 ,ok &I,a next week with balance against them. At another time one man whom he calls A in the week earned 23f. 60c., and spent 2Of. SC. He thus took home with him 3f. 55c.-not quite seventy cents. B earned 29f. and spent 22f. c 2S, and spent 1Sf D 23f., and spent 10f. B 2of., and spent 16f. F 21f., and spent 20f. In one village of six hundred in- habitants single innkeeper sold in one month over three hundred gallons of brandy alone, or more than ten gallons day. Man ufacturing and rural regions alike show this excess in drinking which is alarming the more thoughtful citizens of the country.
 With all the drinking arrests are relatively few, and the most of those arrested are peasants or workmen, but the effect of the evil on property is serious and depreciating, and failures are numerous. How to better matters is now a subject of discussion in the Swiss government and the Swiss press. The remedy proposed is either general license law, or the restoration of local option to the cantons. There are nearly twenty-two thou- sand pub1icans in the confederation, and the politicians will have to move carefully. The federal department of the interior, by di- rection of the national assembly, is now making inquiries for the purpose of formula ting restrictive legislation.

back, and finally it seemed as though his whole body had been congsaled, causing an almost entire cessation of ths hearts action. This condition of suffering speedily gave placato grateful warmth, which seemed to suffuse the system and cause an exhilaratiag glow. He was driving, and by this time had reached house, but he went on thinking that nothing was now 10 be feared. The sleigh appeared to him to glide through the air with great swiftnsss, and the horses flew like birds. A sense of exaltation filled him, and he urged the beasts to greater speed. The woods on each side of the road were passed so quickly that they became indistin- guishable black lines. Then the jingle of the bells sounded further and further away un- til they passed out of hearing in the distance He fell gradually into a delicious slumber. which came near being the sleep of death.
 The Boston Her0ld has been obtaining the opinions of leading woman suffrage advo- cates on Governor Buffers recommendations on this subject. Mrs. Lucy Stone Blackwell says the Governor shows his ignorance in saying that this suffrage is 'tan experiment. As to his proposal to let the women decide whether they want to vote, she says: eve claim the suffrage as the individual right of every woman, and in no wise dependent upon the opinions of others. It is not at all fair to determine this matter by the minds of the majority. The Governor asks that certain women who demand right shall be judged by others who deny or refuse that right" Mrs. Julia Ward Howe was asked: ''Do you agree with the Governor in his implication that woman suffrage may prove to be an un- fortunate experiment ?" 'EThe point that should make," replied Mrs. Howe, sis, who has the right to determine whether it is or is not We do not concede to the male DOT tion of the community the right to make the decision. There are some who do not admit that universal male suffrage is good, but such are not allowed to limit the suffrage Suf- frage does not belong to men to give or to take away. By existing forms of law men must give it to us. do not allow that the obligation to give it implies the right to take it away, even though it shall appear to some to be san unfortunate experiment

About Speculation.

Some Common Sense Rules That arc
 Worth Following.
 From the Christian Union.l
 If any of our country readers want to speculate, very well. If they have some money and brains to spare in movements to promote general commercial development, and are willing to hazard both time and money in this philanthropic endeavor, this Is 8 legitimate and it may even be praise worthy ambition But if so they should carefully observe the following principles
 l. The distinction between speculation and investment You invest when you put your money into an established industry, where it will pay moderate rate of interest. You speculate when you put it into doubtful en terprise, for the purpose of promoting 1t, and with the risk of losing all and the hope of gaining much. As rule, no safe invest ment now pays in this country over six or seven per cent Whatever offers more is speculation and generally the risk is mathe- matically proportioned to the profit prom ised.
 ?. The distinction between legitimate and 1legitimate speculation. You speculate le- ultimately when you put your money into an enterprise because you have faith In its fu- ture and are therefore willing to take your risk of it's success. You speculate nlegltl- mately when you bet your money on the success of an enterprise, with no idea of putting any money into it, and without, in fact, doing anything to aid it.
 g. In speculating never risk any more money than you can afford to lose. Never hazard your home, or your legitimate busi- ness, or your partners or your neighbours money. Invest your last dollar; speculate only with your loose change.
 A. Deal with articles or enterprises of which you have personal knowledge. If that is not feasible, then act only on the advice of trustworthy counselors. If you go into Wall street buy through well known firms, whose reputation has been earned by their character. There are many such. Avoid the 'bucket shops" as you would faro bank. Any Wall street operator will tell you that your chance of winning at fairly con- ducted faro bank is better than in 8 gambling operation on the gambling side of Wall street There are two Wall streets; if you go there at all look out sharp which one you get into. Both streets are full of hazards, but one is dishonest and the other honest; in one are the risks of the gamblers dice, and more than half the time the dice are loaded, in the other are the risks of genuine, useful, but uncertain enterprises.

The postal savings bank has been great success in England At recent conference of the Boston associated charities the com mittee on means of promoting provident habits reported strongly in favor of the adoption of the postal savings bank system by the United States, and recommendation was adopted asking the charitable associa- tions of other cities to join with those of Boston in urging Congress to pass the postal savings bank bill now before it. Postmaster Tobey heartily indorsed the system and thought it would have 8 tendency to prevent the increase of savings banks and panics. Savings Bank Commissioner Curry said there was no organized opposition to the measure on the part of the savings banks, and Rob ert Treat Paine said there was no reason why the savings banks should object, as the pos tai system would reach a lower class than is reached by the banks. It would induce the saving of money which is now squandered, and prove of incaleulable benefit to the poorer classes.

hair, and appears to be over so. She is

dress OF complete black adds to the
majesty of her appearance. Her hus-
band does not look to be over 80, is a
handsome man of the brunette type,
and dresses like broker or bank

The remarkable phase of the story is
