Before this week passes
there will be things to say"
We printed that yesterday.
To-day we begin to make
good the statement.
1t is our intention to put be-
fore the retail buyers Of Phila-

disc Of many sorts which for
quantity, quality and cheap
ness will be more surprising
than any Of the great offerings
ever made by us in the past.
The time is favorable for
large merchandise operations
at low prices. The bears have
control Of the "spot" dry
goods, which means goods in
the garment equally with the

That's all you need Of gen.
eral information. The details
will appear daily. They will
be crowded full Of quality and

 Sir Edwin Arnold recently paid a visit to Walt Whitman and pro- nounces him the handsomest old man he ever saw.

Fir Stronger than Oak.

It is generally supposed that oak is much stronger than fir. but a series of tests made recently at the car-shops of the Northern Pacific railroad in Tacoma, Wash. T., show that the re- verse is actually the case. The tests were made by actual breaking strain on sticks 2x4 inches and 1 feet long, the weight being applied in the middle of a span of feet 9 inches. The re- suits Of five tests were as follows: First, an old piece of yellow fir. six years exposed to the weather, broke at 3,062 pounds; second, a new, soft piece or fine grain yellow fir broke at 3,062 pounds; third, an old piece of yellow fir, conrse grain and hard, broke short at i 1920 pounds; fourth, a new piece of fir from the butt of a tree, coarse grain, broke with a stringy fracture of 3,635 pounds; fifth. a new piece of Michigan oak broke nearly short off at a weight of ,, 42S pounds. The dehections before break ing were as follows: The first and second pieces. half an inch; third, three-eighths of an inch; fourth. fye- eighths of an inch; fifth. the oak piece. one inch and an eighth.

SALLY IN OUR ALLEY.
The Real Heroine of That Popular and
 Uomely Song.

l know Sally and her lover so long! I have studied them SO often, know them so well. They are very little changed now, except, perhaps, in cos tune, from what they were in the day when Henry Carey first cast eyes on them and made them immortal by his song. or course knew them. l can see them every Sunday; they are tho same Sally and the same lover still, for Henry Carey made them immortal. I wish l could make them and their lives and their loving companionship quite clear to readers who do not know London and its streets and it's Sunday aspect. Sally is short girl; her lover is an undersiZed man. The lives of such class in London make under- sized men and women She is pretty little girl indeed though not so pretty as her lover thinks her; and we ought all to be glad of this, for if he did not idealize her where would be his love? What sort of a lover would that be who only saw in his sweetheart just such charms as you and can see in her? He gazes tenderly, fondly, into her upturned face, as if it were the face of an angel. But decidedly she is a pretty girl with small features. and ripe red lips and dark brown hair, crisp and curly, and white teeth. Her hands2 Well, yes; q little large, per haps, and when she takes off her gloves-which she will not often do when she is out for a walk with her lover on the Sunday-one can sec that the hands are not of the very whitest. and the tips of some of the fingers show the tattoo marks of the needle for it does not need to be told that Sally is seamstress of some humble order hardly know of any thing that speaks to me with keener pathos than that needle-piereed finger with its marks that will never go off. It tells somehow of long working hours. often until the dawn has come and after. Perhaps poor Sally had to work an extra hour or two into the Sunday morning, in order to earn her after noon walk abroad with her faithful lover. take it that it is almost al- ways an afternoon walk. Sally could not well get away before her family's early dinner. r.-Scribner Magazine.
