RUSH AT SPECIAL SALES.
The Way New York Merchants Draw .
Crowd Of E%nt!,uslnstic Shoppcrs,

The Way New York Merchants Draw .
Crowd of Enthusiastic Shoppers.
Especial sales" are a feature of New
York commercial life in the retail line,
and they contribute more to woman's
pleasure and caprice than any other one
phase of shopping experience. Those
who have never been to one have missed
q heap of fun. In one of the large up
town stores recently there was Il "run"
on gloves. They were of a superior
quality, and sold for forty-fve cents.
The sale started at 0 in the morning,
and directly there was a spirited scene
around that counter. Women rudely
pushed II another away in their wild
endeavor to get a pair of gloves. One
gave n SIS bill and clamored for her
change. Another held Il pair ove the
heads of the crowd and %endeavored to
give her money to one of the s%alesgirls.
This woman, after patiently waiting for
a time and seeing no chance of getting
up to tho girl, quietly put the gloves in
her muf and sauntered off. She had Il
bargain.
After a while the change from S. was
brought back. The salesgirl had by this
time become ratified with the confusion
and rapidity with which the gloves were
being bought, and handed the money to
the wrong woman, who put it in her
purse and walked away. The lady to
whom the money belonged, getting UNI
easy at the long delay, finally elbowed
her way through the crowd, demanding
her change, and creating no little
excitement. The rush was SO great
that the girls behind the counter grew
frantic, and began to cry. The floor
walker ordered the sale closed for
three hours, announcing the time of
r%eopening. Then a scene of wild con
fusion was dispelled, and the glove pHr.
chasers dispersed themselves over the
store and were soon busted with other
purchases.
Three hours later the glove sale began
again, only to find even a greater crowd
clamoring for covering for their hands
than in the morning. 1t continued only
thirty minutes when it was again stopped
because the clerks could not wait on the
anxious customers. 1t was never re-
opened, but the establishment, all the
same, got q first class advertisement out
of the attempt to sell dollar and a half
gloves for forty-five cents.-New York

About Buying Cigars.

If, by chance, I happen to 60 into a
strange cigar shop and the man at the
case asks me if I want an imported cigar
I make up my mind that he doesn't know
his business or that lie takes me for a
fool. A nan is supposed to know what
sort of a cigar he wants and ought to say
so at the start. An imported cigar, at
the average cigar stand, at the common
price, is a delusion and a snare. If I go
into a place where I am not known and
buy q cigar I am always particular to
notice the box. If the cigar does not fit
the box 1 know the seller has practiced
some deception. He has put a different
cigar in the box than the one called for
by the brand. If he is mean enough to
do this he is mean enough to palm off a
poor cigar. l am not a cynic in any
thing; but I have noticed one thing in
my travels-it is easier for a man to be
swindled on cigars than anything that
grows, runs or stands still. If the cigar
man doesn't know you you get the worst
Of it.-Chicago Tribune.

DrauChty Places,

1t is one Of the oddities of human ma
ture that people are always looking as
far away as possible from the ground
they stand upon, not only for their best
chance for distinction, but for the dan
gers which they believe are most be-
setting.
A lion tanner ventured into the cage of
the most ~ferocious beasts, apparently
having no fear of them. although he
was often quite badly bitten. But he
had a dreadful fear of taking bronchitis.
One day, after he had entered, with
perfect composure, a cage containing
two half-starved bears and a panther,
he shook his head gravely as he came
out.
"Well, well. sir" he said to a gentle.
man who stood near, "this is going to
end badly for me some day."
"You are afraid those %ferocious ami
mails will devour you, them"
"The animals? Pshaw! You don't
think I'm afraid of them, sirl Not at
all; but these cages, sir, are such a
dreadful place for draughtsv-Youth's

The Longevity of Birds.

The swan is the longest lived bird, and
it is asserted that it has reached the age
of 100 years. Knauer, in his work enti-
tied "Naturhistoriker, states that lie has
seen a falcon that was 1862 years old.
The following examples are cited as to
the longevity Of the eagle and vulture:
A sea eagle captured in 1715, and already
several years of age, died 1O4 years after
wards, in 1885,; q white headed vulture,
captured in 1700, died in 1926 in one of
the aviaries of Schoenbrunn Castle, near
Vienna, where it had passed 119 years
in captivity. P%aroquets and ravens reach
an age of YER 100 years. The life of sea
and marsh birds sometimes equals that
o~fseveral human generations. Likem many
other birds, magpies live to be very old
in a state of freedom, but do not reach
over 20 or rs years in captivity. The
nightingale lives but 10 years in captiv-
ity, and the blackbird Is. Canary birds
reach an age of from 10 to Is years in
the cage, but those flying at liberty in
their native islands reach a much more
advanced age.-Detroit Free Press.

Who patronize savings Banks,

Mechanics and storekeepers have tho
largest savings bank accounts. Natu.
rally we do not have many professional
men as customers, but among the COM
p%aratively few that patronize savings
banks doctors seem to lay up the most
money. Lawyers generally keep their
money in national banks, as the nature
of their profession requires them to have
their funds where they can draw checks
upon them. Many professional men,
though, keep money in a savings bank as
a side investment, upon which they can
draw for a rainy day. Some classes of
men, from the nature of their employ
ment, are unable to accumulate much
money. Painters, for instance, and
actors, usually live through the summer
upon their winters earnings. - Inter.

MUSICAL ACCENT ILLUSTRATED.
A Witness Explains the Term to the sat,s
faction of the Court.

A Witness Explains b Term to the Salts
faction of the Court.
At a trial in the court of kings bench
as to an alleged piracy of the "Old Eng
lish Gentleman" one of the first wit
nesses put into the box was Cooke.
"Now, sir" said Sir James Scarlet in
his cross-examination of Cooke, ''you say
that the two melodies are identical, but
different. What am I to understand by
that, sir2'
"What l said," replied Cooke, "was
that the notes in the two arrangements
are the same but with q different accent
the one being in common while the
other is in triple time; consequently the
position of the accented notes is different
in the two copies"
"What is a musical accent" Sir James
fippantly inquired.
"My terms for teaching music are a
guinea a lesson" said Cooke, much to
the merriment of tho court.
81 do not want to know your terms for
teaching" said the counsel, 81 want you
to explain to his lordship and the jury
what is musical accent" Sir James
waxed wroth. "Can you see ity lie
continued.
"No," was the answer
"Can you feel it,"
"Well," Cooke drawled out, ga mu-
sician can" After an appeal to the
Judge the examining counsel again put
the question. "Will you explain to his
lordship and the jury-who are supposed
to know nothing about music-the mean
ing of what you call accent!'
"Musical accent" rejoined Cooke, sis
emphasis laid on a certain note just in
the same manner as you would lay stress
on any word when speaking in order to
make yourself better understood. | will
give you an illustration, Sir James. If
were to say you are a donkey the &C
cent rests on donkey; but if instead
said you are a Donkey it rests on you,
Sir James, and I have no doubt that the
gentlemen of the jury will co%rroborate
me in this" The story is more personal
than polite nevertheless, it is well
worth telling as al instance of forcible
illustration. 1t is useful, too, since it may
serve to impress upon the minds Of that
very large circle of people who plume
themselves on being musical some faint
notion of what accent in music really is.
1t is the outcome of that wonderful in
vention, the division of music into bars,
but for which music might still be only
the magical accomplishment of a few

Tinted Paner.

Mrs. East, the wife of all English pa
per maker, happens to drop a bluing bag
which she holds in her hands into a vat
of pulp. She is frightened and says
nothing about the accident; her husband
storms when he finds that the paper has
a peculiar tinge, but the astonished
workman can throw no light upon the
matter. Thereupon he sends the paper
to London with instructions that it be
closed out at any price. The public,
however, accept it asa purposed novelty.
1t becomes the rage; orders pour in for
more of the same sort. The wife con
fesses, the husband forgives her-and
well he may, for his fortune is made.
This is the very simple origin of tinted
paper.-Illustrated American.

An Easter Egg Costing $4,000.

A Partisan firm has made an Easter
egg for a wealthy Spanish lady at a cost
of $4,000. 1t is a most ingenious piece of
mechanism, and is made entirely of pure
white enamel. 1t is provided with doors
and slides, the inside being engraved
with Easter gospels. The opening of a

To Shoes.

A shoemaker on upper Broadway says
that if men would adopt the English
fashion of keeping their boots on trees
they would get ten times the wear out
of them. When the shoes are taken off
they should be put on a tr>e at once.

then, and all the wrinkles smoothed

to crack, as it does if the wrinkles are
allowed to remain In one csrAition long.

Treatment Of stutter.r,.

1t is said that stammerers rarely if
ever show any impeachment to speech
when speaking in whispers. On this
fact a new method of treatment has been
advocated by DR.. Coen, which is as fol-
lows: In the first ten days speaking is
prohibited. This will allow rest to the
voice, and constitutes the preliminary
stage of treatment. During the next ten
days speaking is permissible in the whis-
pering voice, and in the course of the
next fifteen days the ordinary converse
tional tone may be gradually employed.

For Lettering on Glass.

In order to fasten glass letters, figures,
etc., on glass (show windows) SO that
even when submerged in water for sew
eral days, they will not become detached,
use an india rubber cement. The best
for this purpose consists of one part india
rubber, three parts mastic and fifty parts
chloroform. Let stand for several days
at a low temperature to dissolve the &C.
ment. 1t must be applied very rapidly,
as it becomes thick very soon. When
spread with a camel's hair brush over a
crack in glass OF porcelain vessels this
cement efectually closes it, and the yes
sells may be made %serviceable for holding

A very simple e1perimentmay be per-
formed to show the solvent power of a
liquid, namely, by taking a small vial of
camphor water or a quantity of alcohol,
with as much camphor dissolved as it
will hold, and then adding to this a drop
OF water; it is as clear as water itself
until a drop is given, when the solution
is weakened 30 much that it cannot hold
the camphor longer in solution and be-
gins to give it up in a white cloud, al
lowing it to rain down to the bottom of
aglass. Now, about the same process as
this is effective when a specimen of
drinking water is to be examined for q
test OF organic matter, which it may
contain in solution. The solvent power
for this impurity is reduced by giving
the liquid something better to dissolve,
= something to dissolve for which it has
greater liking, sugar being one of the
best known substances in this respect

and corked up tight in the sunlight, the
