II YOU HAVE BOYS 1T WILL PAY YOU

We are daily selling more
Boys and Children's Cloth

ton arises, w by is
thisP We will tell you:
Simply because we sell bet
ter goods for less money
than has ever before been
offered in the District of
Columbia. We do not ask
you to take our statement
alone; but we refer you to
the hundreds of ladies who
have already patronized us
for their Boys and Chill
dren's Clothing.
We ask you to use your
Judgment in your own in
terest. M a ke inquiries,
look around, examine
goods and prices elsewhere,
then pay us a visit of in
spection, and if we do not
agreeably surprise you we
are much mistaken.
We are compelled to re-
plenish our Boys and Chill
dren's Stock almost every
other day. The supply is
inexhaustable. We are
prepared to meet the heav-
lest demands on our re-
sources. The O prices a r g
way down, down, down
lower than you have ever
seen them. The material,
cut, finish, and make of the
highest standard of excel
lence. Do not be misled by
high-sounding bluster, but
consult your own interest.

and back our statement up
by deeds. Our stock is too

Do THE Senate and House, respectively,
show proper respect for religion and the
clerical profession In fixing the salaries of
their chaplains at figures lower than are
paid to messengers or even floor scrubbers
II it be proper to have chaplains--and we
raise no question of proprlety-it would
seem fitting to attach a respectable salary
to the office. 1t is true thaf not great
deal of time Is isrequired for the performance
OF the duties of these officials, but it is not
customary to gauge the pay by the number
of minutes or hours expended. Such a rule
would go hard with numerous able states

FIVE thousand dollars year each for looking

A Chinese IntOxicant.

The spectacle of two Cinnamon stag
gering along Smithield street the other
night, evidently ''three sheets in the
wind" was one that excited some curl
osity. Whether they had been tanking
up after the most approved American
style on plain ordinary lager beer or old
Monongahela rye, was the question.
"They have quiet little still of their
own" was a remark of habitue of
City Hall. "Chinaman don't take kindly
to beer or whisky. They go to one
of their countrymen in town who deals
in the article and get bottle of liquid
distilled from rice. I tell you it's a
lively drink, too. Why stone fences
and Jersey lightning are like water when
put on a level with incopee. That's
what the Cinnamon call it. The Chinese
storekeepers in San Francisco import the
stuffand ship it to their agents in different
parts of the country. 1t is put up in
queer-shaped bottles and looks some
thing like gin. You can get plenty of
it in town if you have Chinese friend.
Just ask Johu Chinaman next time he
brings your washing to get you bottle
of incopee and give him 81. It's sur
prising how much these Mongols can
stand. They will sip incopee all even
ing and toddle home in single file with
out varying a shade from a straight
line. Sometimes though they get more
than they can carry, just like those
fellows you saw pass by. Why, if an
old topper on whisky were to try incopee
it would knock him out flat in three
rounds. It's a mighty queer liquor
and bad thing to fool with. If you
do you will want to whip your mother
in-law and your best friend in half an
hour.-PittSbarg DISPATCH

Fish That Tastes Like Flesh.

Porpoise fishing promises to become
one of the principal industries on the
New Jersey coast. The experiment
made last fall at Cape May proved so
successful that the facilities there were
greatly increased and other porpoise
fisheries will be established in both Cape
May and Atlantic Counties. At first
porpoises were caught for the skin and
blubber alone, the carcasses being thrown
away or in a few instances used as fer
tilizers. From the blubber is extracted
a very fine oil, while the skin makes a
very superior quality of leather. Some
time last fall it was discovered that por-
poise flesh was savory to the taste, and
it soon became popular as an article of
food and was in great demand. The
juicy red meat, which is taken from be-
meath layer of fat next to the skin, is
pronounced by epicures to be more pal
atable than any porterhouse steak ever
cooked. In appearance it resembles
beef, but is more solid and of finer grain
and very tender. Some persons say that
it tastes like venison, and that there is
nothing of the fshy taste about it. Last
fall New York fish dealers offered two
cents per pound for the carcasscs, but
they will command a much higher figure
next summer.

THE Christian Observer says: "The

severely reprimanded the press for the
lack of discrimination in commenting
upon the moral character of men who
have figured largely in the community
for their wealth or in public stations.
II Boston millionaire should die, he in
timated that the papers would extol
aim for his wealth, and make him out
to be a public benefactor wheth he
gained his wealth by fair means or foul,
Undoubtedly the press is in fault in this
matter. But is the pulpit so free from
fault as to be justified in casting stones
at the press. We trow not.
