Sham Antiquities in Paris.

birth to world of sham antiquities.
An army of handicraftsmen are busily
engaged in the manufacture of these
wares. which are palmed off on contid-
ing people as being 200 or 800 years
old, and dated from any desired land
mark in history. Old chairs, old tables,
old silver, old jewelry and old any

great value in the eyes of many per-
sons satisfied with antiquity in appear
ance. WOrm-eaten furniture is now
one OF the RACES. This stuff is easily
produced with aid of bird shot, which
is fired into it. Old houses, torn down.
furnish worm-eaten timber, which is
turned to good account in fabricating
old sets Of furniture. Old door keys,
medieval bellows, gilt fambeaux in
Louis XIV. style, warming pans and
brass tenders of the fourteenth cent

The Story of PYgmaIlon.

That PygmaliOn. best known TO
classical and other readers, is the one
OF whom Ovid has sung. He resided
on the Island of Cyprus and was
siatuary. He became what would be
commonly called woman-hater. ow-
ing, it is fabIed, to his having been
witness of the revels of the females of
Amathu5. a city OF great antiquity on
the southern side of the island. ard
celebrated as the favorite residence of
Venus. Pygmalion resolved never to
wed. and the affection he had denied
to the fair sex he gave generously TO
the works of art which his genius had
created He finally became euamorsd
of beautiful statue of ivory which he
had made. aud at his earnest request,
as the legend runs. the goddess OF
beauty vivifed this statue. and he~
made this creation his wife. Chicago

COST OF RAILROAOING.

What 1t Costs to Ram Locomotiv- Under
Ordinary COndtio 5.
The following statement of averages
represents fairly what it costs to run
locomotive under ordinary conditions:
Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1889-11-09

1t is not economy to allow any thing
to be out of repair. on the supposition
that it is less expensive than it would
be to spend comparatively little from
day to day to keep it up. The day of
reckoning will come in the end and the
sacrifice will be considerable. As the
track is the fundamental feature, the
crossties or sleepers and rails should
be the best; iron rails are practically
out of date, and it is fair to assume
that the time is approaching when
wooden ties will be things OF the past.
Where the traffic is light, heavy steel
rails may not be necessary, but it has
been generally found economical to
put in use rails which do not
weigh less than sixty-seven or
seventy pounds to the yard-an
even greater weight than this IS not i'll
advised-they require fewer cross ties
to the mile, and in consequence the
force of men required to keep the
track in condition is less. Light rails
are soon worn and battered out on a
road over which heavy engines are
run and large trains are hauled. The
powerful locomotives now built re-
quire a well-kept track and solid and
substantial road-bed. Heavier and
faster trains have tended to reduce the
average life Of rails, even though the
weight of the rails has been steadily
increasing. Circumstances vary on
the the different roads, but it is safe to
say that eight to ten per cent. of all
rails in the track must be renewed
every year.-Benjamin Norton, in
ocribntr's Magazine.

President Cleveland.

In few days President Cleveland will
leave the White House, where for fouryears
he has been the nations honored guest.
How. ycf satisfactory IL may be to partisan
public 70 n ~. nse, there are few
of that party who will not join Democrats
in cordially saying that, as an honest, incor-
ruptible man, faithful official, wise man
and painstaking President, the White
House has never had a superior occupant.
And WHILE as Republican newspaper, we
hail with rejoicing the advent of General
Harrison as President, we wish distinctly
to express our admiration of President
Cleveland and of the fact that so far as be
was able he has given us clean and strong
administration.
1t goes without saying that we have on
various occasions attacked his policy and
condemned his official course. But We
have always given him credit for being hon.
est aud conscientious, and now upon the eve
of his retirement we wish to reiterate our
conviction that no man ever occupied the
White House who was more conscientious
in the performance of his duties or who was
more incomuptible in bis discharge of OFF,
cial duties than Mr.. Cleveland. None Of
his predecessors have been ADLER and GER
tainly none have conducted the Office with
more integrity. The Sunday Gazette GER
tainly welcomes "the coming guest, but 1t
assuredly speeds with regret the parting
one. To Grover Cleveland, in whatever
position Of life he may be placed, we wish
the kindest and best of good luck, believing
honestly that no man ever lived whose con-
scientious integrity and serupulous sense OF
honor better deserves it. And to his beau
tiful and accomplished wife, the highest
type of the charming American lady, we
wish that the skies of her future may be
ever as bright as her own brilliant eyes.
Nor would we express our full conviction
of the honor, the ability, the integrity OF a
gentleman if we did not speak kindly
farewell to Colonel Daniel Lamont. No
man has ever occupied the difficult position
he now holds with more satisfaction to the
country at large and especially to those who
have come into personal contact with him
than Colonel Dan Lamont May he live a
thousand years and his shadow never grow
less Sunday gazette, Feb. IL.

In bookkeeping experience has proven that
Cash is the right way and Credit the wrong
way. Taking the buyers Cash for goods and
charging on the books the same goods at the
same price to credit buyers who may pay
promptly or never pay at all, is simply making
the Cash Buyer pay for the Credit System,
with its expenses of Bookkeepers, Collectors

of other Costly Evils attending such system
which largely increase the cost OF the goods TO

The many attempts to establish stores with
two prices one for Cash and another for Credit
has I'm every instance proven hopeless lail-
IRE. On the other hand the One Price Cash
system has proven a Decided Success, and Is
still growing in favor. 10 deals even handed
