No increase Of sctivity appears In the
wool trade at any point. In the country
holders are generally asking more than
eastern dealers are willing to pay. Until
the course OF the market is. better dsvel-
oped buyers, both at first and second
hands, bid fair to operate with the utmost
caution. While the manufacturers are
preparing samples for lightweight goods,
they are not yet bringing them cut, and
are uncertain about their future require
ments in the way of stock. There is also
possibility that Congress will put wool
on the free list. In view of these circum-
stances no buying for future consumption
Is anticipated. The most that the mills
are doing, or seem likely 70 do for the
present, is to take additional supplies for
running out goods already ordered. In
Ohio and throughout the west generally
there is comparatively little activity. A
moderate increase in the movement OF
Michigan wool is reported. Shipments to
some extent from the territories are in
progress.
An excellent attendance continues at
the London sales, with active competition
and firm tone. The auctions close next
Wednesday.
Manufacturers have been looking
through the Boston market in fair num-
bers this week, and have taken more OF
less new wool in order to test its quality.
Buying for excessive consumption Is still
wanting. A great deal of machinery ID
idle for repairs and orders. Prices are
generally steady. Some inquiry for Mich.
igan Y wool is noticed, and there is Q
moderate movement of new territory stuff
Carpet wool is dull but very firm. The
receipts continue to run far below last
year. Current quotations are as follows,
with comparisons:

Insulting the Flag.

The adoption by the Republicans of the
American flag, in handkerchief form, as
set-off for the old bandanna, may be re-
sented, and with good effect. Already you
may hear the celebrated order of General
Dix paraphrased and the use of the Stars
and Stripes as a handkerchief reprobated
in the words: ',If any man dares to blow
his nose on the American flag, smash him
on the snoot" 1t is not ltgant language,
but indicates readiness to defend the use
of the bandanna and check the use OF the
American flag for similar purpose.

swimming along, he may never dream

! The boy who is afraid he will do too
much for the money he receives for his
work is most likely to do too little. A
business man doesn't think much of an
employe who begins stipulating in re-
gard to his hours and vacations when
he is engaged.
A merchant who had advertised for
additional help at his place of business
was waited upon by young fellow of
about eighteen, who made application
for the place.
His appearance made a very favor
able impression on the merchant-an
impression that was dispelled when the
young man began talking.

work had been explained TO him.

"If you deserved it-yes."

the merchant, calmly. 'It would be an

Sponges.

Did you ever look at piece of sponge
and see what curious thing it is ? Do
you know by whom it is made F.? One of
Natures smallest children did it. 1t
was once alive and growing on the rocks
in some Of the far-away seas. 1t lived,
breathed, and grew just as you do.
Some sponges are like round cups.
Some are like branches of trees. Others
are thin, and spread out like a fan.
They are of almost every color, from
orange to dingy brown. When they
are or the beautiful floor of the ocean,
with eeaweed and fish all about, they
are very pretty.
As long as the sponges are alive it is
not easy to catch them. They can only
be torn from the rocks by men called
divers" who, for the sake of getting
the little skeleton, destroy the creature
itself. All sponge animals can not build
a ''toilet sponge" for that is the kind
you always use. You know how full OF
holes all sponges are. Well, if there
were not fresh supply of water, full of
living things, all the time passing
through these queer holes, these little
creatures could not live moment.
This is all done by little whiplike hairs
inside their bodies, which move to and
fro, and do all the work and do it well.
You must examine your piece OF
sponge after what have told you, and
see if you can tell how strangely it is
made There are many common kinds,
but we use the very best for bathing

A QUEER RIDE.
How Tim Was Cured of the Very BAD
Habit of Sinking.

How Tim Was Cured of the Very BAD
Habit of Sinking.
Tim Tittleby was eight years old,
and pretty good boy generally, but he
had one rather unhappy failing; he
would sometimes shirk his duties, es-
pecially if they were any thing un-
pleasant.
Now if there was one thing above an
other that Tim disliked, it was picking
up potatoes.
Grandpa Tittleby had large field to
dig, and it was Tins business to pick
the potatoes up into the cart. How he
dreaded it!
Grandpa had been digging all the
forenoon of one September day. After
dinner Tim went out, and sat down very
dejectedly on the bulkhead door. If he
could only devise some means to avoid
picking up thoses potatoes!
By and by he heard grandpa get up
from his nap. 1t was now or never,
and Tim took to his heels, and ran out
by the barn, which stood at the top of
a long hill. Lying there was a stout
old vinegar barrel, and in a trice he
had crept into it, and pulled great
bunch of pea-vines in after him to con-
ceal his presence, while grandpa
trudged around the barn, and shouted
himself hoarse calling for him. He
had not been there long before he fell
soundly asleep.
Now there was great hog in the
stye, that grandpa called Samson, be-
cause he was SO strong. He had rooted

A Popular Boston Chestnut.

The tale is to the effect that DR..
Oliver Wendell Holmes and the vener-
able DR.. Peabody, of Cambridge, once
had an appointment to see a statue of
Eurydice. DR.. Holmes arrived first.
and when a few moments later his
friend drove up in cab, he greeted
him with the very obvious pun:
''Ah, you rid, l see."
DR.. Peabody was wonderfully pleased
with this sally, and on his return home
attempted to repeat it for the benefit
of his family.
'Dr. Holmes was extremely witty
this morning" he said 1--WE went to
see the Eurydice, and when drove
up he said just as quick as flash:
'Ah, Doctor, see you came in bug
gy.'"

other remedies without success. One
day gentleman called, and, in shak-
ing hands with her, remarked upon
her disfgured hand. He asked who
many warts she had. She replied that
she did not know, but thought about a
dozen. "Count them, will you," said
the caller; and. taking out a piece of
paper, he solemnly took down her
counting, remarking: "You will not
be troubled with your warts after next
Sunday" By the day named the warts
disappeared and did not return. There
are numerous well-authenticated cases
in which a severe fit of gout has been
suddenly dissipated by violent emo
ton. A doctor has recorded one in
which an old farmer, languishing un-
der severe infirmity, caused by re-
peated attacks of this disease, was not
only cured of the particular fit, but
was restored to perfect health by the
fright and anger brought on by the
careless driving of one of his sons,
which caused the window-sash near
which he was lying to be broken in.

under the fence, and carried it off on
his back so many times, that grandpa
had been obliged to put ring in his
long nose. But in some way, Samson
had got rid of it that day, and, to cele-.
brate his liberty, had again rooted un-
der the fence. He came warily around
the corner of the barn, expecting
trouble, but finding nothing worse than
the gObbler strutting about, he began
to hunt for something to eat.
Immediately he snuffed out d few
early potatoes under the side of the
barrel, left over from sorting. All,
how he crunched them! But in mo-
ment they were gone, and Samson be-
gan to push his nose farther under the
barrel, in quest of more. Soon it began
to sway, then to roll down on Samson,
who backed off slowly. 1t had got over
the brink of the hill when Tim awoke.
Away it rolled, faster and faster. SAM
son could not understand it; and in
great alarm turned and fled down the
hill, his great ears tapping wildly.
'Stop it, stop it!'' shrieked Tim, with
jerky, muffled cries, from inside.
But how could Samson stop it? He
would have been glad to, no doubt,
for the horrible thing was right on to
his heels and nearly skinning them at
every jump.
He did what he could-he squealed in
sympathy at the very top of his voice,
drowning poor Tins howls for help,
'tis true, but bringing Grandma Title
by out in a panic. She could not catch
the barrell Dear, no! And on it went
-bound-bound! bump-bump! poor
Tim going over and over with such
rapidity that his head was alf in
whirl.
1t struck a big rock in the road.
Away it bounded into the air, coming
down on SIMPSONS back with such
force as to send him sprawling in the
middle of the road, and rolled on over
him, leaving him for a moment nearly
stunned. Then he sprang to his feet
and fed up the hill to his pen, where
he hid himself in the darkest corner,
''hooting," and holding his breath and
listening for the terrible creature which
had overtaken him and nearly broken
his back
"Ow-w-wi Sto-o-opitr' came from
the barrel, while it fairly hummed over
the stones and ruts. Leaping higher
and higher, it flew to the bottom of the
hill, and with a little skip, plunged in
to the goose-pond, right among the
squalling, kissing geese, while grandma
came on behind, with her cap hanging
to the back of her neck and one slipper
lost off.
Tim crawled out of the pond, wet and
bruised, and so dizzy and sick that he
could not stand; and after wiping the
mud off him with some tansy leaves,
grandma went after Grandpa Tittleby,
who wheeled him up the hill in the
wheelbarrow, with such comical twin
kle in his eye that Tim was ashamed
and hid his face in his old wet hat.
But that ride did Tim more good than
any other he ever took in his life, for
it cured him of the habit of shirking.-
