The commendable European customer
perhaps it might more properly be called in
stitution-of the transmission Of q business
from father to son through generations of
the family is strikingly illustrated by an in
cident related by leading St Paul citixsn.
This gentleman was in Antwerp with his
wife twenty-f five years ago, and while there
purchased the latter dress of the celebrated
Antwerp silk. Last summer the daughters
of this same gentleman were In Europe, and
In the course of their travels visited the same
store at Antwerp that thsir parents had 20.
tronized more than Q quarter Of Q csntury
ago. For curiosity, they asked the gentle
man in charge if he had any record of q sale
Of silk to their mother. They told him he,
name and the year that the purchase wai
made, and he very soon produced q record
showing the identical sale The concern had
complete record Of all its transaction
through many years, the books having bser
kept with great exactness and nicaty.
The young ladies found that this particu
lar line Of business had been in one family
for 700 years, having been handed down
from father to son through all these centu
ries. 1t had small and probably rude be
ginning in the far of ages, but it had en-
riched the later generations. There is M
road without turning. The ladies dis
covered that the business was now, after fur
nishing sustenance and wealth to one famil,
for seven centuries without break, about t,
be sold out to another firm. But think Of it
| There is no business in America that will re
main in any family for 700 years, or TO
anything but very small fraction of tina
period. Americans are too restless to d.
business in that sort of way.-Pioneer Pres

Suggestion Outside of Hypnotism

Suggestibility is by no means peculiar to
hypnotized persons Almost every one is
sensitive to suggestion to 3 certain extent
when awake for in every human being, no
matter how skeptical he may consider him
self, there exists certain degree of credulity,
and this creduiity may be played upon and
taken advantage of in a measure. Children
can be made to believe the most preposterous
statements if they are made with sufficient
gravity. The majority Of healthy children
are, moreover, auto-suggestionists; that is,
they create air castles, in which they soon
come to believe firmly as objective realities
Too often such auto-suggestions are regarded
by parents and friends as deliberate lies
They are in reality simply the creations of
phantasy, which have become established as
truths in consequence of being unopposed
and uncorrected by reason and experience.
In the course Of time the reasoning faculties
are developed and hold the imagination in
check.
Nevertheless, even adults are met with in
whom the Imagination so readily gets the
upper hand that they may be induced to be
lieve the most impossible things. l recently
saw young woman Of moderate intelligence
and education who was so readily influenced
by suggestion in the waking state that sh.
was unable to move from the place wher,
she stood on being suddenly and decidedly
told that it was impossible for her to bulge
She could be made to See people who were IL
reality not present, and on the other hanc
could be made blind to the presence Of per
sons and objects actually In the room. Afts
repeatedly affirming that she was absolutel,
insensible to pain, it became possible to pas
a needle deeply into the skin without pro
voking any signs Of discomfort.-Dr. Chris
tian A. Herter in Popular Science Monthly

COurad's Ward Misfortune.

Conrad Ward, of this city, met with a
serious misfortune at O'Clock yesterday
morning while travelling on c., R. l. &
P. freight train from Rock Island to
Iowa City. The accident happened about
four miles out of Davenport. Just how
the unfortunate affair came about is I'm,
known, but at any rate Ward got into an
alteration with brakeman who ordered
him of the train, and in leapiEg he fell
in such a manner that his left foot was
caught and wheel passed over the ankle
crushing it in at the joint, and bursting
the skin open from the ankle up as high
as the junction of the middle and upper
joints of the thigh. Ward was brought
to Davenport and taken to the police
station, and later removed to his fathers
home, $40 Seventh avenue. this city
where DR. S. c. Plummer smputated the
leg about three inches above the ankle
joint and stitched the wound in the up
per part of the leg. Ward is a young
man, and a tailor by trade, having worked
long time for Mr.. J. T. Dixon. He wa
en- route to Iowa City in search of WORK
when the accident befell him.

But he Afterward saw his Mitt ake'--
An Incident OF Friday Nights Jour-
ney TO Geneseo.
In arranging with the Rock Island road
for the special train to convey the local
republican hosts to Geneseo last Friday
night, Boss Wells assured Agent Cook
that there would be at least 700 people
from the cities of Moline and Rock ISL
and. MIR. Cook consequently had pre-
pared q train of seven coaches, in order
that there might be a sufficient number
to convey the crowd with convenience
and comfort Mr. Cook having in his
mind the difficulty he experienced in
carving the swarms to Moline the night
of the democratic demonstration when
$500 came where only 1000 had been
provided for, determined there should be
no such Jam this time if be could prevent
it. When the time came for the train
to back down to Twentieth street TO load
up, Mr.. Cook went into the Peoria
depot to sell tickets while, Boss
Well. kept tally, and investigated
the political utilization of the excursion
lists as they boarded the train. He did
not enquire as to age, but every one was
obliged to give to the politician the
countersign before getting aboard. The
flambeau club had gotten seated, and all
told there were not hundred on the
train when the time came to start. The
boss had promised at least four hundred
from Rock Island No one else was in
sight. Suddenly a boy made his appear
ance, and hurrying 10 the car was about
to mount, when the boss checked him;
Here, what are your" was the inter-
rogative put to the boy.
Cleveland; Cleveland" was the boy g
reply as he was about to bound into the
car. But he bounded the other way. For
at that moment the boss grabbed him by
the coat collar and landed him on the
platform.
What do YOU mean. sir" yelled the
boss, white with rage; did | not order
that no democrat need apply heref We
are not helping the democrats win thii
: campaign. and are not giving them fret
rides to hear our speakers talk
, The boy was surprised, but beng Draw
, and having no reason to be ashamed o
his name, he replied, my fathers nam'

STEAMBOAT SIGNALS.
Whistles that were Known In Olden
Times and those Of Today Distrac-
ton in Sound.


ton in Sound.
Twenty or thirty years ago river pack
cts were all known by their whistles.
There was sort of difference and dis
tinction in the sounds In the whistles OF
the various packets. In the SOS and
6o's,says the Davenport Democrats Gazette,
the Jenny Lind, Ben Franklin, President,
Minnesota Belle, Menominee. Fanny
Harris, Northerner, Canada. Minnesota,
Hawkeye State, Sucker State, Northern
Belle, Davenport, Galens, War Eagle.
Gray Eagle. Key City, Northera Light
Itssca, Milwaukee-and later, the Alex.
Mitchell, Northwestern, Phil Sheridan,
Belle La Crosse, City of st. Paul, Gem
City-sll side .wheelers, except the Fanny
Harris and others. There was hardly
boy, shipper or levee merchant in town
who couldn't tell what steamer was
coming in by the peculiar sound or toots
of the whistles night or day. Same as
today. any river man can tell the name
of raft steamer by the sound Of its
whistle, if il be a mile away. But this
distinction of steamers has become lost
art among landsmen slong the upper
Mississippi.
Speaking Of this matter writer in the
St. Louis Post says that the whistles of
the boats were even used as means OF
communication between pilots who had
code of signals. AS their boats passed
on the river they would exchange greet>
ings in this way, and some of them "had
it down so fine," to use a common ex-
preston. as to be able to convey almost
any information they desired. FIRE.
quently the passengers would be awsk'
ened at night by the most uncommon
shrill sounds. and in great fear would in
quire whether there had been a collision
and would be comforted by the assur-
ance that it was "only the pilots talking
to each other.
The whistles were all made in exactly
the same way. but owing to their differ
; ence in size, or to the metal, or TO pecu
liar plugs the engineers would insert II
the drum of the whistle, there would be
: great difference IN the sound.
5 The decline of the river traffic has nat
urallv caused decline in the ge neral in
terest that was once taken in the river
/ and all things appertaining to it, an
there are very few now excepting exper
: fenced river men who can tell the whist
. of single boat that enters port. TIL
I Diamond 10 packets are known by thei
? one short, long, and two short blows
e but which one of the boats of this line
approaching would be a mystery, unles
!. seen, to nearly every body None of th
s other lines of boats owned by individual
0 have any regular method of announcin
u their coming The science of steambos
whistling is fast declining.
