effect is, that many individuals are obliged
TO practice the most rigid economy, while
all have much less money at their disposal
than formerly The situation is aggra-
waited now, because an improvement had
been confidently expected ere this, where
as nothing satisfactory or tangible has yet
been accomplishment least in the West.
II, therefore, We admit that the buying
power of the agricultural class has been
extended as the result Of good crops and
fair prices for the same, on the other hand
il is equally evident that the buying
power Of the investment class has been
materially reduced. As bearing upon
the general trade situation, We have
made mp or figures Of bank clearings
for November, and they show fall
ing off of SlsG0OO,000, or A per
cent, as compared with the same month
last year Though outside Of New York
there is small ncrease). There would
be nothing surprising about this, in view
OF the reduced volume OF business on the
Stock Exchange and the effects OF the
election, but on examination we find that
the present decrease follows a decrease Of
.! per cent. last year, and that oven in
1856 there had been only nominal in
crease. Hence the present Nor"mber
total is the smallest of any year since 1884

Sachets for different purposes are easily
made and can be put to various Uses, and
this one may answer the puZZling ques-
ton, "what shall give him?' as it is q

The men may apply disrespectful terms
to sachets, but the fair donor knows
nothing of this, and so she bewilders him
with sets of four, one for cravats, one
for haudkerchiefs, one for gloves, aud

Another court of last appeal when
one's brain goes wandering is the cush-
ion. There is Il fine field for cushions
just now. The foot cushion seems to be
thought the correct thing to stumble over

less dangerous than the ottoman. The
foot cushion is big and soft and puffy.

OF course the list is by no means conn.,
piete. There are many articles in drawn

quiring more time than the simple things
that have been suggested, and for this
reason these are given in to-day's paper.

home for an easy abandon not permi tied
at home, that make the children place
first in the calendar of sins some petty
deviation from the clean, orderly paths

condemned rather than lauded, and Il
happy mean is much to be preferred.

The eager look faded from Curran's face,
and his blue eyes grew troubled. For an
instant he did not answer, but stood with
folded arms gazing out into the street

for moment as he added, ''No, have no

He heard Shout and a score of hurrying
forms rushed by his window. He turned
from the window in sudden passion of ex-
citement.
"The strike has begun. What pity do the
rich deserve? Even their women are taught
only to break honest mems hearts They are

would be stern and relentless enough for him
who had wrecked the noblest womanhood in

How Wild his imagination had become.
ooh, l didn't know but it was young
Breton and that Bertha Ellingsworth that
was going to be married. Two graceless
women had come in and seated themselves
in neighboring pew. Philip had been
thinking so intensely until now that an
earthquake would hardly have disturbed
him.
''That'n never be-" giggled the other;
''you don't say you didn't know she eloped
with that Curran fellow, though it's been

"Do tell" Philip shuddered Why were
creatures like these permitted to touch names

Well, young Breton never was much for

Philip had struggled to his feet. The

see very well. Was the chapel full as it
seemed? and was that an usher in white kids

CHAPTER XVII.
THE NEW STOCK COMPANY

The terrible seeds of suspicion sown in
Philip Bretons mind bore the bittereSt fruits
through the dreary winter months. No efforts
of his will, nor course of reasoning could COM
fort him. For q moment he might find re-
lief, but his torment would only return
afresh. Humanity are slow to believe good
of fellow creatures, but nothing seemed too
bad to be true. He thought it might have
calmed him to have been assured even of the
worst. He believed that he might despise
the woman he had elevated to the highest
pinnacle of his ideal temple of womanhood,
if she had made so little of the most sacred
gift of God. But it would have been vio-
lence to his feelings to inquire of those who
must know. Her father must know, but his
smiling face will reveal nothing, and his
very reserve was peopled with horrors for
Philip. His wife Jane must know, too, but
he could not bear to think of the malicious
pleasure she would take in detailing the
shameful story to him. She would safe her
hate in his misery. But what if it were not
shameful story! Still he could not form his
lips to ask. The humiliation of such ques-
tion from him, discarded lover, about her
at whose feet he had been proud to sit,
shocked him into silence. He even dreaded
lest they might speak to him of her, although
it had been months since he had heard Ber-
tha's name once breathed.
One evening at the very close of the winter,
Philip Breton called q meeting of his help
and the old market hall was packed from
door to platform. Reporters were planted
by their tables, to catch every word of the
mysterious proceedings Representatives
from all the factories in the country elbowed
the crowd for their three feet of standing
room, eager to learn some new device for
making money out of their help as good as
the other But the great audience was
strangely silent. 1t knew not what to ex-
pect. Perhaps the economical mill owner
was going to announce new reduction in
their wages; everybody said he was reducing
everywhere. The feeling in their hearts was
more of fear than hope, and it was look of
piteous terror, almost, that they cast at the
slight form in black, that came forward on
the platform. They reminded Philip of
hock OF frightened sheep that had never had
a shepherd. Then he thought of great
army massed before the smoking cannon
mouth, an army that had never had a gen
