Carrots and parsnips when not punched,

Spinach sprouts, field salad and water
crosses, all should be sold at so much per

Herein is presented one effective plan
for the protection of the purchaser from
imposition, if he takes the pains to see
that he receives the full weight Of the pro-
duct which he buys. One thing should be
borne in mind in connection with the mat
ter namely, that quarts which are full
when shipped may be shaken down and
diminished by transportation, whereas, if the
product were weighed before shipment and
then sold by weight, justice would be done
by all parties and to all parties.

to such scenes and adventures as came
within his personal knowledge few years

Alaska. He describes in general way
the life Of the sportsman in the frozen
north, his camps, his sledges, and the ma

The President the Biggest Man Con-
nected in Any Way with. the Admins
traHon.
Not little astonishment has been
manifested among the politicians, here
at the attitude which General Benjamin
b. Butler hasassumed. toward the pres
ant Admins lration and toward Presi-
dent Cleveland in particular. An inti--
mate friend of the President, who is also
an terms of close friendship with Cen
aral Butler. is authority for the state
ment that letter had been lately re-
eeived by him FROM, General Butler. in
which the latter expressed in most elnr
phatic phrases his admiration of Pre5i-
dent Cleveland and his course. as far az
he had gone. and giving it as,his opinion
that if Cleveland kept on as he had be-
gun he. would prove the biggest and
best President fhat had occupied the
White House In recent years In eX-
PLANTATION of his change of base as re-
CARDS his opinion of Cleveland. General
Butler is said 10 have remarked that hrs
estimate Of The man had entirely
changed since>he had become President.
and, that ha had no idea that Cleveland
was made oS such stern stuff as his Ad-
ministratiOs would indicate. General
Butler furthermore says, according TO
the same authority, that Cleveland
is the master of his political house
hold, and is by all odds the biggest man
connected in any way with the Admin
istratioa This information, astonish-
ing as il is, tallies exactly with several
conversations which General Butler has
lately had with several prominent gen.
tler1en here and in New York. and there
appears to be no doubt as to the genu-
ineRess of the reports OF course there
Is 3 variety of opinions as to General
Buffers motives in assuming this po-
sisinn, but those who know the doughty
Generals methods best think they see a
large.sized rat IN the meal-bas. II
would be, of course, 10 the Generals
advantage to be on the right side of the
Administration, but whether the stern
stuff which Butler finds in the President
would admit of any humor or cajOlery
of the Butler variety is questionable, to
say the least. 1t is known, however,
that General Buffers sentiments have
been conveyed to the President. and a
member of the Cabinet is said to have
remarked on hearing the news that the
President was now daily expecting to
hear from Blaine and St John, his two
other opponents in the last Presidential

UNDERTAKES.

How and Why the Term Came to y.
Applied TO Funeral Directors"
The earliest known use OF this word
as applied to conductors of funerals is
by Young. who has the couplet
While rival undertakerS hover round,
And with his spaId the sexton marks the
ground.
The present use of the word is no
doubt derived from its primary mean-
ing, one who stipulates to do anything,
or undertakes the management of any
affair. Two hundred years ago class
of people known as upholders were
usually called upon to take charge OF
the funerals thus the poet Gay says ::
The upholdcr, rueful harb!nger of death,
Waits with impatiencc tor the dying breath.
Now, uphoiders were dealers in
secondhand furniture, old clothes and
the like, and perhaps were so called
because thev were so often resorted to
as the last resource of failing credit
AS these persons were able from
their stock of cheaply purchased
material to supply what was
needed at funerals at less eX-
pense than the regular merchant or
haberdaSher. they came to be thus en-
ployed, and also to furnish houses. In
time the more ambitious of this class
confined their business to the furnishing
of houses only, and dealt in goods both
new and old, and to avoid the con-
founding of their business with that of
the funeral managers styled themselves
uphOlSters, name changed latter to
upholsterers. Subsequently the more
pretentious members OF the clan of
upholsterers assumed the name of
undertakers, deriving the cognOmen
logically enough from the Specification
of its parts in the Saxon tongue. An
undertaken, one who takes in hand
business or task. or renders himself
responsible for its performance. Or
perhaps the idea of the word was taken
from the French name for the same
office, entrepreneur. though the primary
idea of the French word is rather that
of one who bids for particular task.
Clarendon, in his History" gives the
word with general meaning in the
line, antrim was naturally Il great
undertaken" Honeywood, in The
Good -Natured Man" of Goldsmith,
speaks thus of Croaker: His very
mirth is an ant;do,e to all gayety. and
his appearance has stronger effect OH
my spirits than an undertaken shop

THE EYES.
What the Different Kind OF Eyes Indi-
cate-rheir Character.

cate-Their Character.
Black eyes are indicative of passion
ate ardor and love.
Hasty, irritable persons have fire.
quently eyes of brownish tint, inclined
to greenish hue.
Green eyes, although their praises are
often sung in Spanish ballads, show de-
ceit and coquetry.
Very dark blue eyes. with something
of the tint of the violet. show great
power OF affection and purity of mind,
but not much intellectually.
The brown eyes which do not appear
black are the eyes of sweet, gentle anG
unselliSh natures. without the iucon-
sistancy of the ii%nt brown or yellow
eyes golden eyes" as they were
called by a lady novelist. and which are
very little more to be trusted than the
green eyes.
Clear, light blue eyes. with a calm
steadfastness in their glance. are indi-
cative of cheerfulncSs OF disposition. OF
a serene temper and i constant nature.
These eyes are peculiar to the Northern
nations; One meets them among the
Swedes, and also sometimes among :ne
Scotch.
The blue eyes among the rare blondes
of the South--that is, in Italy and Spain.
have among them eyes in which are
some ~reenish tints; and such eyes.
though often called light blue, have
none of the qualities of serenity and
coustancv which belong to the light blue
ewes OF the North.
Although the purely green eye indi-
Gates deceit and coquetry. the propen-
sitv to greensh tints in the eve is 4 sign
of wisdom and courage. Very choleric
persons, if they have blue eyes. have
also certain tints Of green IN them, and
when under the influence of anger a
sudden red light appears in them.
In England, where there are more
varieties of tints than IN any other
country. the poets have almost always
gray eyes, A biographer of Byron
speaks of his beautiful, changeful gray
ewes" Shakespeare also had, we are
told. gray eyes; Coleridge, eyes OF a
greenish gray. Among the artists, too,
eyes of this color abound.
The pleasant light blue eye with the
honest glance must not be confoundcd
with another sort of eye of a pale blue,
almost steel colored hue. which has a
continually shifting sort of motion, both
of the evelids and the pupils of the eye.
People with such eyes As these are to be
avoided, as they are indicative of de-
ceitful and selfish nature.
Gray eyes, of somewhat green;sh
gray, with orange as well as blue in
them. and which a1s OF ever varying
tintS like the sea, are those which de-
note most intellectually. They are
especially indicative of the impulsiye,
impressionablc temperament-a mix
ture OF the sang1,inc and the bilious
which produces the poetic and artistic

The Conduct of Senator Sherman Contrast

Mr. Sherman plunges headlOng into
the mire. of sectional hate. He raves
against the neturn to "high office" of
those VINO "waged war against the Un-
ion and were the cause of the loss OF hall
n million OF lives and thousands of mill
ions of treasure" He heaps vitupera-
ton upon the. Solid South. in which,
he says. the negro is deprived OF all
his political rights by open violences or
BY frauds as mean as any that have
BEEN committed by penitentiary con-
victs. and as openly and boldly done as
highway robbery" He declares it to
be the hope Of 1.-The men who led in the
civil war; and who are now 1.-The chief
officers, of tho Government" to reverse
ali the results of the war. And he
Processes to. regard it as. ''vitai and
necessary to appeal to the Northern
States to unite again against this eYiL
not so, open and arrogant as slavery,
but more dangerous and equally un-
just"
The. people of New York have recent
" draped their city in mourning to mark
their grief at the death of General
Grant Perhaps no action of his life
endeared him more, closely to, their
hearts than did the noble words his hand
traced in his last hours. when speech
lad failed him, csngratulating the
country on the restoration of fraternal
feelings between ths sections and on the
renewed devotion of the South to tho
Union.
In the letter which he kspt from his
family uatil his death, knowing that
what would be a sOlace TO. them after
the final blow had fallen would cause
them pain whil0 he still lived. he wrOtes
las | haze stated, am thankful for
the providentisl extension of my time
toenable me to continue my work, lam
further thankful, and in a much higher
degree thankful, because it has enabled
me to see sOr myself the happy har-
mony which so suddenly sprung up be-
tween those engaged but few short
years ago in deadl : confiiet."
What a contrast between these noble.
patriotic words aad the malignant raw
ings of the partisan who, for political
purposes. would foster suspicion. ieal-
ousy and hatred between the citizens
of the Northern and Southern States!
How can the people of New York view
this attempt Of Senator Sherman to de-
stroy the fraternal bonds cemented at
the grave of General Grant? How can
We ever hope for q restored. peaceful
and powerful Union if a legacy of sec-
tional hate is to be handed down to our
ehildren's children. m. Y. World
