Peter Coopcr's Illustration of In
tcrpst.

-N' h'Nh ''NHa'AH h'NN-
Mr.. Cooper was always a careful and
prudent business man. He was always
opposed to the methods of many nler-
chants who launced u in extravagant
enterprises ON borrowed money, fOp which
they paid exorbitant rates of interest.
Once, while talking abUDt a project with
an acquaintance, the latter said he 'sould
have to borrow the money for six morrtlls,
paying interest at 3 per cent per mu'sth.
why do you borrow torso short a tinei'
Mr.. Cooper asked. "Becsnse the brokers
will not negotiate bills for lcnger. "Wcll,
if you WISH said Mr.. Cooper, 81 w'dl
discount yowr note at that rate
for three years" care You in earnesti
asked the would-be borrower Certainly

900 for three years at that rate. Will you
do iti' 'Of coarse ! will, - said the mer-
chant. very WE'LL said Mr.. Cooper;
Just sign this note for 10000, payable
in three years, and give me your check
for $500, and the transaction is COM
plete." 'But where is the money for
mei' asked the astonished merchant,
''You don't get any money" was the re-
ply. "Your interest for thirty sixmonths
at 8 per cent per month amounts to lOS
per cent, or so, 800; therefore your
check for $500 just makes us even. The
force of this practical illustration of the
folly of paying such an exhorbitant price
for the use Of money was such, that the
merchant determined never to borrow at
such ruinous rates, and he frequently
used to say that nothing could have so
fully convinced. him as this rather hui
morous proposal by Mr.. Cooper.

tbs Slavic MIST.

In his "reminiscences of '.Tourgueneff
in Paris, in the November Century.
Alphonse Daudet says: when We had
finished with the books and the preoc-
equations Of the day, our talk took
wider scope; we came back to those
themes, those ideas which are always
with Us; we spoke OF love, Of death,
particularly Of death.
Every one said his word. The
Russian, on his divan, was silent.
"'And YOU, Tourgueneff''
ooh, me? | don't think Of death.
In my country, no one has it as an
image in his mind; it remains distant,
covered-the Slavic mist.
That word spoke volumes on the
nature OF his race and of his own
genius. The Slavic mist floats over all
his work, blurs its edges, makes it
wayer; and his conversation as well
was suff'used with it. What he said
always began with difficulty, with I'M
certainty; then suddenly, the cloud
was dissipated, pierced by a shaft of
LIGHT. by decisive word. He talked
to us OF Russia-not of the Russia OF
Napoleon's winter, icy, historic, and
conventional, but Of Russia, of sum-
mer-time, and of wheat and flowers
that have nestled out Of the snow-fur-
ries-Little Russia, land of bursting
heritage and Of the hum of bees. Ac-
cordingly, as we must always locate
somewhere the stories that are told us,
Russian life has appeared to me through
Tourgueneff as a immortal existence
on an Algerian estate surrounded with
huts.
"Tourguenef lifted the veil which
covered this queer, quaint, stupehed
people. He spoke to US of its deep
alcoholism, of its benumbed, inactive
conscience, Of its ignorance of lib

A Faathsred Shepherd.

In South America there is very
beautiful bird called the agami, or the
eolden-breasted trumpeter. 1t is about
as large in the body as one OF our
common barn-yard fowl, but as it has
longer legs and a longer neck it seems
much larger. Its general color is
black, but the plumage on the breast
is beautiful beyond description, being
what might be called iridescent. chang
ing, as it continually does from
steel-blue to red-gold, and glittering
with metallic luster.
In its wild state the agami is not
peculiar for anything but its beauty, its
extraordinary cry, which has given it
the name of trumpeter, and for an odd
habit of leaping with comical antics
into the air, apparently for its own
amusement. When tanned, however,
and it soon learns to abandon its
wild ways,-it usually conceives a
violent attachment for its master, and,
though very jealous of his affection.
endeavors to please him by solicitude
for the well-being of all that belongs to
him, which may fairly be termed benev-
olence.
1t is never shut up at night as the
other fowl are, but, with well-deserved
liberty is permitted to take up its
quarters where it pleases. In the morn
ing, it drives the ducks to the water
and the chickens to their feeding
ground; and if any should presume to
wander, they are quickly brought to a
sense of duty by sharp reminder from
the strong beak of the, vigilant agami.
At night; the faithful guardian drives its
charge home again.
Sometimes it is given the care of
flock of sheep; and, though it may
seem too puny for such task, it is in
fact quite equal to it. The misguided
sheep that tries to trihe with the agami
soon has cause to repent the expert
ment; for, with swiftness unrivaled
by any dog, the feathered shepherd
darts after the runaway, and with
wings and beak drives it back to its
place, not forgetting to impress upon
the offender a sense OF its error by pecks
with its beak.
Should dog think to take advantage
of the seemingly unguarded condition
of the sheep and approach them with
evil design, the agami makes no hest
tation about rushing at him and giving
combat. And it must be good dog
that will overcome the brave bird,
Indeed, most dogs are SO awed by the
fierce onset of the agami, accompanied
by its strange cries, that they escape
unwounded from the indignant crea-
ture.
At meal-times it walks into the house
and takes its position near its master,
seeming to ask for his caresses. 1t
will not permit the presence OF any
other pet in the room, and even resents
the intrusion of any servants not be-
longing there, driving out all others
before it will be contented. Like a
well-bred dog, it does not clamor for
food, but waits with dignity until its
wants have been satisfied. -!St. Web

A Coon and a Cat.

A family in DeSoto, H., has pet
coon which was caught before its eyes
were yet opened TO the light OF day.
An old cat took charge of and cared
for it as if the animal were one of its
own little ones. Now the coon takes
care of itself, although the cat continues
to feed it with mouse and rat dainties.
The children in the house have taught
the coon any number of little tricks,
such as begging for biscuit, and put
ting its paws about ones neck Her
couch at night is on the dining-room
lounge, and she shares that with the
dog, who allows none of its kind to
approach or annoy her, and is almost
as fond Of her as the cat.
