well as in the practice OF medicine, the
question often arises: IL not unfre-
quently happens that the person 10 DC
deceived will reap neither special harm
nor special benefit, whereas thNdeceiver
will find the deception greatly to his adj
vantage to practiceit
For instance, picture dealer once
had two pictures fof sale. One, on &c!
count OF the painters reputation and
his mode OF painting, was worth SIoo;
the other. much more striking and at-
tractive picture to the eye, but without
the intrinsic merit or reputation OF the
other, would not bring, where it was
known, more than $2oO. A man VINO
had made money SO rapidly tnat ne mad
not had leisure to acquaint himself with
the fine arts was coming to the picture
dealers to buy some pictures ior MS
new house.
The dealer, understanding his Gus
toner's peculiarites, knew that two
things would determine him-the at
tractiveness OF the picture TO his un-
cultivated eye and the price. Ii he
liked the appearance OF the $500 piet-
ure he would reject it on account oil the
price. But while the higher price OF
the other would make him think 1t
worth having, he would reject 1t on
account OF the subject and the treat
ment. The result would DO that he
would buy neither.
So the picture dealer selected one Oh
his most dazzling and gorgeous frames,
put the cheaper picture into it and
asked 81, 900 for 1t. The rich man at
once bought and paid for 1t without
word. Had the dealer right TO take
advantage OF the rich mans ignorant
estimate OF the value OF picture by its
price and crafty the mans pride In his
money-the only art standard he had
and benefit himself at the same timer
In another case woman whose
knowledge OF the quality OF butter was
not very keen and who was at the same
time extremely purse-proud, insisted
that the grocer should always furnish
her with the very best article. BY
"best" she meant o higher price, II
possible, than anybody else paid, In
order that she might boast OF it When
over she bought any at nifty or seventy
five cents a pound, as the case might be,
she always took all he had, with special
Instructions not to let anybody else
have any OF that kind
As it was not always possible to pro-
cure the grade OF butter such price
should command, and, discovering by
little experiment that she really did
not Know the best butter trom q good
but quite ordinary article, ne not un'
frequently furnished her with whatever
he had on hand, but charging from
twice to three times the price OF the
butter. His excuse was that IL nc
