teresting anecdotes Of Queen Victoria.
She told him on one occasion, when re-
ferring TO her Scotch ancestors, how
glad she was that she was descended
from Queen Mary and had nothing to
do with Queen Elizabeth. The other
story relates to Lord Clyde, ut IS well
known that ne was seriously hurt at
having an officer far his junior put over
his head as Commapder.in-C Chief after
General Simpsons resignation in the
Crimea, and that he had returned dur

again. But he yielded bis own inclina-
ton eventually to the Queen, who at
Windsor, it is said, asked him to sit be.
side her on the sofa and burst into tears
at his continued refusal. He respectful

he could now hold out no longer"

out of their way to tell the whole truth.
Figures in a store will account for all
purchases and sales. Once they
would not, but merchants have
advanced to that point of
scrutiny where actual purchases and
sales are very reliably recorded. But
for the goods unsold, for the goods
which should be on the counters and in
stock-no account books nor tags-the
goods themselves alone must answer.
There is a wonderful system of checks
and balances in the modern dry-goods
establishment, but there is an element
in the problem of sales and profits
which old-time and smaller dealers
were not obliged to consider. Tho
country storekeeper of a quarter of a
century ago had to take account of
stock in order to learn his standings
because he eve knew how much he
had either bought or sold. He never
knew how much cash he ought to have
in the drawer, nor how many goods he
ought to have in stock. The city mer-
chant of to-day knows all that every
Saturday night, and perhaps at tho
close of each days business, solely by

account books. The extraordinary ad-
vertising of recent times, by e of
displaying the goods, involves a hazard
of loss which in practice is reduced to
the certainty of an immense amount of
stealing. No system of accounts foots
up the columns of stealings. In former
generations, the art of goods display
was unknown. Goods in the store were
safe from all petty thefts. There were
no crowds, few mistakes, .and little
stealing. At present, there were never
so many shrewd precautions taken
against loss of goods, and never was
there such an outgo in an Legitimate
manner There are three channels of
stock depletion which books can not
record, i e., sampling, mistakes, and
stealings. To ascertain this aggregate,
an inventory is essential, and until this
aggregate is recorded the profits or
LOSSES of the business can not be
known. The knowledge of the results
of business is largely dependent upon
the system of management and accounts
employed in the establishment.-Boston
