"There is. no such
thing as selling an arti-
Gle below it's value"
we are told. "What
you will sell it for and
another will pay you for
it IS it's value" Strict
ly speaking, that is true.
What a man will and
can sell a thing for is
THEN and THERE it's val
lie. But in the ordinary
commercial use of the
word the "value" of a
thing is the price at
which it is sold COM
monty, all around, in
the usual course of bus
mess. And when we
say that we are selling
something below it's
value, we mean that, for
one reason or another,
we are selling that thing
at less than we could
easily get for it; less
than others i n til e
neighborhood are get
ting for it. Of course
usually we try to sell
our wares at their value.
Every child knows that
is how a dealer makes
his living; and the man
who is always saying he
sells everything at less
than any one else, may |
safely be set down as a
quack. |
We are selling Black
Silks below their value
to advertise our busi-
ness. We admit that. |
We think it is a good
and legitimate way of
advertising. 1t is not
that we wish to make
you believe we sell
everything else as cheap.
But our expectation is,
and it is justified by ex-
perience, that a good
Silk trade will bring a
large share of other trade
with it. We are willing
to oadvertise our business
at the expense of profits
on Black Silks, and just
now for other and diff
ferent reasons we are
willing to do so even
more strongly than usu-
al. Of course to make
such a thing not a mere
sham we must sell the
very best and most
trustworthy makes that

The American Machinist gives the number
of locomotives belonging to American rail
roads at &c. ,227. Reckoning the life of
locomotive at twenty-five years, there should
be ,169 of them constructed each year in Or
der to maintain the stock. A car wheel lasts
about eight years. There are 10000, 900 of
them in the country and 1, $50, 900 are pro-
duced yearly.
A cruiser planned for the British navy by
Mr.. Pearce seems likely to be formidable. 1t
is designed to steam twenty-one and a half
knots an hour. 1t will be SO constructed
that it may be pierced by a hundred shots
and yet be able to use its guns and steam off
at full speed. The mechanical arrangements
are such that the whole of one side of the
vessel may be disabled without resulting in
the destruction of the ship. It will be heavily
armored and carry formidable armament.
This proposed ship is designed on large
scale, having displacement of ten thousand
tons. The advantages it will have as a war
vessel make it decided improvement upon
old methods of construction. What its coal
consumption will be is not stated.
A dramatic scene was recently enacted in
the Rue Pierre Charron, Paris. man of
lean countenance, worn, haggafd, unkempt,
and thinly clothed, stood at the corner of the
street, prey to the deepest distress. Ad-
dressing the passers-by, he declared that he
was ruined, and that his children had not
touched food for days. Suddenly he drew a
revolver from his pocket, turned it toward
his breast and fired He was raised and car
ried to the entrance of house, and upon his
coat being opened the shirt was found to be
deeply dyed with blood. A warm-hearted
member of the crowd which had assembled
undertook to make collection for the
wounded mans family, and was proceeding
to pass round hat when the police came to
transport the suicide to the hospital. Here
upon the suicide disappeared with the re-
volver and the warm hearted man with the
collection, making, it is said, until lost to
sight, the best short distance time ever known
in western Paris.
The Philadelphia Medical News has some

New York, which in some of its modifica-
