Cioass on the Installment Plan.

"Iou would be surprised" said one of
these enterprising and somewhat grasp
ing merchants the other day, lat the
variety of people who have dealings with
us. We have sold to dry goods clerks
who were working for $1,000 a wear
sealskin cloaks for their wives which cost
them as high as $500. Sometimes it
takes three years to pay for them, but
they will have them. The women are
extravaganza, or one of the neighbors has
a cloak, and the poor man has no peace
at home until he gets one for his pretty
but foolish and ambitious wife. Last
winter we sold seventy-five sealskin sacks
ON the installment plan, and in great
many cases the wives made the purchases
unknown to their husbands and saved
the money to pay for them out of their
allowance for household expenses. We
have ladies come here for their fancy
bonnets, and in many cases for their
dresses, which they never could get if
they had to wait until they saved money
to pay cash for them. We have a num-
Der of cases on our books where articles
of dress are either worn out or have be-
come old style and the women are still
paying the regular installments on their
cost They must pay or they can't get
any more goods, and they know that,
and are accordingly very prompt and
regular in their payments. Chicago

The Turning Point.

My son, once upon time there was boy
real live, flesh and blood, skin and bones
boy, not story book boy. He lived in Ger
many, but that was not his fault, and you
should not lay it against him. He did worse
things than that, although he was only a boy.
One day he was reading book, German
book, so full OF gutturals that man might
read it with his head cut off. It was blood
and thunder novel, and this boy became
greatly excited when he came to the chapter
where the count drew his manchongene-
wallowwindeg pegeslaschenmesser-
which is German for bowie knife, and
rushed upon the duke ''Here,n exclaimed
the boy, ''this will not do; I am be-
coming excited; I cannot study so well
after this" And right straight away he
threw the novel into the river. and
never looked into another one, and so that
boy grew up and became a German philoso-
pher, and wrote many pages of much stuff
that nobody could understand, and left be-
hind him, inscribed upon the enduring tab
lets of fame, name that very few boys Of
your age can pronounce without making
faces. That boy was Fichte, the great Ger.
man philosopher. And who was Fichte.
Oh, ask your mother. She will tell you all
about him. / would like to be standing
somewhere out of sight, that I might hear
her tell you. / don't have much fun these
days. "And what was his philosopher Oh,
ask your father. How would like-oh, how
would like to hang around and listen to
your fathers idea of Fichte's philosophy.
How would like to listen to it.-Burdette in

The Number of the Stars.

The total number of stars one can see
vii. depend very largely upon the clear
ness of the atmosphere and the keenness
of the eye. There are in the whole &C.
lestial sphere about 5000 stars visible to
an ordinarily good eye. Of these, how
ever, we can never see more than frac-
ton at any one time, because a half of
the sphere is always below the horizon
If we could see a star in the horizon as
easily as in the zenith, a half of the
whole number, or 5000, would be visi-
BILE on any clear night. But stars near
the horizon are seen through so great a
thickness of atmosphere as greatly to OBJ
scure their light, and only the brightest
ones can there be seen. As result of
this observation, it is not likely that more
than 1000 stars can be taken in at sin
gle view by any ordinary eye. About
1900 other stars are so near the South
pole that they never rise in ourslatitude
Hence, out of 5000 supposed to be visi-
BILE, only 1000 ever come within range
of our vision. unless we make journey
towards the equator. Professor E. s.

Germs in Flour Barrels.

The total disregard of the public as to
sanitary precautions regarding their food
is well illustrated by the indifference
with which they accept the guaranteed
cleanliness of barrels in which flour is
furnished. Perhaps they are unaware
that fully two-thirds of the flour barrels
have been bought up from all parts of the
city and various surroundings. A bar
rel may have been lying in damp cellar
probably containing a pile of disease
breeding rags, or molding in some musty
garnet room or other unpleasant place, is
bought up by the enterprising miller, and
Is again used as a receptacle for flour.
The insufficient cleaning it receives is in
adequate to destroy any germs it no
doubt contains. A liberal use of the
scraper is sufficient to give the outside
brand new appearance.-J. j Ring in
Globe Democrat.
