Try and See. All Gloves :?
 Yes, All!

All our facbric Gloves are marked down. We have a few too many. We bought too many fine gloves, and we now must sell them by making them the same price as cheap gloves, which are not worth half as much. To simplify matters we make of our gloves but four lots. 1st, all our finest gloves, fine silk and all lengths, black and colors, which were $I.oo, $1.25 and upwards, are made 75c. 2d, all gloves not in the first lot Goo, 75c and upwards, are put in at soc. 3d and 4th, all our other gloves, ranging from soc to Goo, are divided in- to two lots at 25c and soc.
 Nothing is kept out. Better pay us 25c, 38c, SOC or 75c, and get gloves worth having, than to pay the same price for cheap grades.

THE COBURGERS,


 One of the most glaring abuses which have grown up in connection with the gov ernment of this country is the securing by army officers having political or social infu- ence of ''soft' assignments in Washington or at some of the desirable eastern posts near the centres of fashion. The extent to which this has been carried is not realized by the people There are officers in the Engineers, and in other branches of the service, who have held soft places at Washington since the close of the civil war. Some of them have not been near their regiment for almost twenty years.
 Secretary Endicott has decided to make a change in this system, and as a consequence there is wailing and gnashing of teeth among the fine gentlemen who have been drawing good pay from the government for doing nothing. Since he assumed the duties of his office he has frequently received let ters from officers on the frontier saying that as new administration had taken control of the government they hoped consideration would be given to them, and that they would be allowed to change positions with the officsrs who had held enviable places for a number of years. He has ordered that an officer shall not fill any staff appointment or other situation the duties of which will de- tach him from his company, regiment or corps, until he has served at least three years with his regiment or corps, nor shall any officer remain detached longer than four years, unless assigned to special duty by the war department. And he has further announced that all officers below the grade of field officers who have been absent for period of four years or longer from their regiment or corps will be relieved from their present duties as soon as practicable after the receipt of this order and directed to report for duty with their re- spective regiments or corps.
 The secretary has plunged himself into very hot water by this step. The abuse which he has attacked is one of long standing and deep root. Repeated efforts have been made to abolish it, but they have all failed. Sec retary Lincoln attacked it, but apparently with no result. If Secretary Endicott's as- sault upon it is successful he will be entitled to much praise. But he will not conquer easily. By long residence at Washington, by constant contact with senators and repre- sentatives, by assiduous attentions to leaders of both parties and to their families, and by vigilant care concerning legislation the Co., burgers have gained g. strong hold. The fight will be an interesting one.

Some New England Thrift. +la U1,&l,-.

 Two farmers, brothers, living on adjoin- ing farms in the State of Connecticut, are both more than comfortably endowed with this worlds goods. There is third broth CT, who has lived in Illinois for several years, where he owns fruit farm. He is generous to a fault, and every autumn in- vites everybody for miles around to spend 8 day with him and feast on his fruit.
 A short time ago he paid 8 visit to his brothers in Connecticut, who, not having seen him for ten years, warmly welcomed him. John, the elder of the two brothers, insisted that the western brother should stay with him, and after pleasant little urging Richard, the other brother, consent ed. The next morning John and his visi- ting brother walked over to Richards farm John invited Richard to come with his family and take dinner with him. As the three brothers strolled toward the barn yard to look at the blooded stock, doz- en fine bullets crossed their path.
 "By the way, Dick" said John sudden ly, "my wife says our chickens are getting so scarce that they must have been stolen we'd give you chicken 6xins for dinner to- day. Suppose you let me have three or four of these?"
 ''All right!' Pick out three fine ones, J said Richard. The bullets were caught and killed. After little more visiting and walking about the farm John and the west ern brother prepared to go home. As John picked up the bullets and walked out of the yard with them Richard called out:
 70 John, those bullets will be thirteen cents pound! I believe that's what they're askin' down to the Center now" The gene rous western brother was so annoyed that he left for his home the next day. He could asr yharn hr.Af fl,ar charged another brother for three chickens which were to be eaten in part by himself and family The anecdote, which states moi an imaginary but real occurrence, illus trates the character of only a small minority of the farmers of New England.

Tea and Coffee In India.

From the British Quarterly Review.
 Of late years much attention has been given to the growth of tea and coffee in India. The soil and climate in many parts have been found very favorable to their pro- duction. During years of residence in the hill province of Kumaon we had tea planta- tions all around us. The government led the way to this enterprise. Chinamen, trained in their own country to grow and
 manufacture tea, were brought to the prov
 ince, and under their management tea of ex-
 cellent quality was produced. The govern
 ment gradually retired and left the field open
 to enterprise Many plantations are now in
 the province, few belonging to individuals,
 but the greater numbers to companies, origi
 mated and sustained mainly by European
 capital. The management of some of the
 largest plantations has been entrusted to ex-
 perienced Scotch gardeners, who have soon
 made themselves acquainted with the pro-
 cess of tea growing and tea making, and
 have dispensed with the services of the
 ChinaHen, most of whom have returned to
 their own country The entire work is now
 done by natives of the province under
 European direction. Most of the gardens
 are laid out on tracts of mountain and forest
 which had been the property of the govern
 ment, and the land has consequently been
 acquired with which would
 not have been practicable had it belonged to
 natives, who in such matters are manoeuvring to degree which few Europeans can follow and haggling to an extent the most patient can
 scarcely bear. Difficulties have sometimes
 risen regarding the right of pasture over
 these tracts, but they have not been formid-
 able, and they have been soon settled by the
 government. There is no forced labor in
 these plantations. For many miles around
 the people have docked for employment, and
 by the wages paid to them their position has
 been immensely improved. Of the many
 thousands of pounds laid out in these plan
 tations large portion has gone to the work men in the shape of wages. We have often seen the people in the fields and in the fac tory, and we do not remember to have seen them once subjected to the whip or the stick. They are well looked after to prevent them from shirking work and from stealing tea, but we have observed no instance of cruel treatment. In fact they know well that if cruelty or unjustly treated they have only to go to the authorities to obtain patient hear l ing. The sick are supplied with medicine. ] We have occasionally approached tea plan tation on Saturday afternoon, and we have homes-which, we were told were miles dis 1 tant-with their weeks wages to spend the | Sunday with the1. eemilies and return on Sunday night to the pA~etation to resume | work on Monday morning.

Consomme of Cave Bear. ENrnrna tbo Enr.,Isll


 There is something at first sight rather
 ridiculous in the idea of eating fossil. To
 be sure, when the frozen mammoths of Sibe-
 ria were first discovered, though they had
 been dead for at least sO, 900 years (according
 to Dr. Croll's minimum reckoning for the end of the ice age) and might, therefore naturally have begun to get a little musty they have nevertheless been kept so fresh,
 like sort of prehistoric Australian mutton,
 in their vast natural refrigerators, that the wolves and bears greedily devoured the pre- cious relics for which the naturalists of Flu rope would have been ready gladly to pay the highest market price of best beefsteak. Those carniverous vandals gnawed off the skin and flesh with the utmost appreciation, and left nothing but the skin and tusks and bones to adorn the galleries of the new Natu- ral History museum at South Kensington Siberia, are not exactly fastidious about the nature of their meat diet. Furthermore, some of the bones of extinct animals found beneath the stalagmitic floor of caves in England and elsewhere, presumably of about the same age as the Siberian mammoths, still contain enough animal matter to produce a good strong stock for antedlluvlan broth, l which has been scientifically described by a high authority as pre-Adamite jelly. The congress of naturalists at Tubingen few years since had smoking tureen of this cave bone soup placed upon the table at their hotel one evening, and pronounced it with geological enthusiasm tsscarcely inferior to prime oxtail.' But men of science, too, are accustomed to trying unsavory experiments, which would go sadly against the grain with l less philosophic and more squeamish palates. They think nothing of tasting a caterpillar that birds will not touch, in order to dis cover whether it owes it's immunity from at-
 tack to some nauseous, bitter, or pungent l fiavoring; and they even advise you calmly to discriminate between two closely similar species of snails by trying which of them
 when chewed has delicate soupcon ot oniony aroma. So that naturalists in this matter, the children say, don't count their universal thirst for knowledge will prompt them to drink anything, dewn even l to consomme of quaternary cave bear.

we can say that their relation is as pleasant as can well be found between employers and employed. Where, as in Assam labor is not procurable on the spot, and has to be import ed from distance, the relation is more diff cult, as there is a danger of persons, brought from distance and paid in advance, failing to fulfill their engagements, and, on the other hand, of managers abusing their power over people far from their homes.

 For some years past the postoffice of h. dia has had in successful operation what is known as the ''value payable post;" that is, it not only carries parcels from trades men to their country customers, but also un- dertakes to collect the prices. It has often been proposed to extend the system to the conveyance of parcels between England and India, and it is now said that the project will shortly be sanctioned, the English postal authorities are heartily in favor of it.
 A scientist has appeared who claims that petroleum applied to wood renders it less lia- ble to take fire. He has tested this point by
 
 ence between the two the oiled wood is less liable to take fire, as there is less of com bustible fuzz to form on the surface. The petroleum enters the pores of the wood and renders it more like cedar. Apply it freely with coarse brush, and in few weeks, when it has all soaked in and the surface be- comes dry, the surface can be painted. Pe- troleum is good protection against the de- cay of t-buildings, fences, etc., without the addition of paint.
 Neat housewives know that dust will hasten to deposit itself on any surface, but some experiments made by Professor Aitken of Edinburgh show the curious fact of the tendency of dust to move from hot and to deposit itself upon cold surfaces. Two mir | TOTS, one hot and the other cold, fixed face to I face and close to each other, were placed in vessel filed with dense clouu of magnesia, made by burning magnesium wire. After | short time the mirrors were taken out and examined. The hot one was quite clean, while the cold one was white with magnesia dust. In another experiment cold metal | rod was dipped into some hot magnesia pow 1 der When taken out it had a club-shaped mass adhering to it's end, while hot rod at tracted none, thus showing, among other things, why the walls and furniture of a
 stove-heated room are always more dusty
 than those of one warmed by an open
 fire. In the one case the air is warmer than the surfaces, and in the other the surfaces
 are warmer than the air.
