the greatest success OF our mercantile
experience. Ever since this sale was
first insugursted, when we marked our
stock down for the last time to close out
preparatory to opening our new store,
Nos. /, 3, and 5 Broad street, on Febru-
airy I'd. we have had one continuous
crowd, taking advantage of our closing
out prices, which on some things are
about ONE HALF the original cost Of
the goods, and on everything COST
and LESS THAN COST. No such

Cured in the dry goods business. Du-
ring this sale everything will be sold for
cash only. No goods charged, sent on
appreciation, or exchanged.

TEMPERANCE TOPICS.

THE order of Rechabites, q large Tenn
perance society of England, rejoices in
the returns given at it's late annual con-
ference, showing an il ease of 1860
members during the year 1890. This is
all the more encouraging as it is BEN
eft club. as well as a total abstinence
society.
SAYS the London Christian World,
referring to England: Temperance is
becoming not only respectable, but
popular. Never before has the cause
found such support from lord mayor
of London. The lord mayor of York
is total abstainer of thirty years
standing. The mayor of Birmingham
is a life abstainer, as also the mayor
OF Ripon. The mayor of Stafford has d
teetotal experience of tifty-three years,
and the mayor of Sheffield forty-nine
years"
A NATIVE resident of Berlin has said
that at the Medical College banquet
last summer, fifteen thousand bottles
of wine and large quantities of beer
and spirits were drank in few hours
by four thousand persons. Much roar
ing drunkenness" was the consequence,
and some of those in highest position
among the physicians were most proni-
nent in this way. One of these was
obliged to send note of apology to a
lady in extremely high position, for his
behavior and words to her on the pre-
ceding evening.

A Little Mixed.

At a certain seminary for young
ladies in the East the students OF Ger
man are not allowed to speak in any
other language at the table, but one
young lady, more daring than the
others, broke the rule and announced in
English to her companions that she was
mashed" on certain young man.
"Mashed?" asked the young frauleln
who presided over tive students and
who is but imperfectly acquainted with
English; "mash, what does that mean?'
90" spoke up one of the young ladies'
wishing to save her blushing and con-
fused companion, "when person is
very much in love with anybody she
says she is mashed on him."
The girls thought that ended the mat
ter, but what was their surprise wher
the next night in prayer-meeting the
teacher rose with beaming face and de
clared: 81 wish to testify, youns
ladies, that am mashed on the Lord.

The other hand, if the wine had leaked
out where was the consequent discolor-
alton of the paper wrappings and OF
the other bottles, etc? A detective was
engaged from a convenient point OF
vantage to watch the cellarnen in the
long hours of the day, when they
roamed at will through the casks, bar
rels and baskets.
The cut tells the story. The cellar
men had a common yellow bowl in
which they kept ice for their own use.
When one of them wanted cooling
draught of champagne he went through
no formalities at all, not even the cut
ting of wire or the drawing of cork.
He simply took a quart out OF case,
emptied the earthenware bowl OF its
contents, stood an ice pick, point up, in
the bowl and brought the followed bot
tom of the bottle down with a light,
quick blow on the point of the pick. A
small, round, even puncture was the re-
suit, through which the champagne
flowed in a steady stream into the bowl.
There was no crash or cracking OF
glass, or dirt or noise. The wooden
handle of the ice pick prevented the
blow from breaking the bowl, and the
celarman poured libation to BacchuE
after carefully replacing the apparently
undamaged bottle back in its case.

Buckley, that. except in the supernat-

of Constantinople. One Of the Sultans
not so very long ago was in the habit OF
going about like the famous Callph
Haroun- al Raschid in disguise. TN one
occasion, passing place where man
was excavating a cesspool, he heard
him say to himself in Il loud voice:
"Persevere, my soul, or I will plunge
thee into deeper filth than this"

person who had him in charge why he
was wanted; for some went into the Sc

eminent and never came out, b t no
satisfactory answer could be gwen.
After being detained for long time in
fearful suspense, he was at last brought
into the presence of very high official,
and detained there. Finally he was
taken into the very presence of the Sui

TEMPERANCE NOTES.
THE WHISKY JUG.

Tes following poem taken from the LondoI
sun OF June Il, 1899, shows that the contents Of
the whisky jug were known hundred years
ago:
Within these earthen walls confined
The ruin turks of poisonous kind;
More mischiefs here united dwell
And more diseases haunt this cell
Than ever plagued Egyptian focks,
Or ever cursed Pandora's box.
Within these prison walls repose
The seeds of many bloody nose,
che chattering tongue, the horrid oath,
The fist for fighting nothing 10th,
The nose with diamonds glowing red,
The bloated eye, the broken head.
Forever fastened be this doorl
Confined within, a thousand more
Destructive tiends OF hateful shape
Fen now are planning an escape!
Here, only by cork controlled,
And slender walls of earthen mold,
In all the pomp of death, reside
Revenge that ne'er was satisfied;
The trees that bear the deadly fruit
OF mercenary murder and dispute;
Assaults that innocence assails;
The images Of gloomy jails;
The guilty thought on mischief bent;
The evening hour in folly spent;
All these within the jug appear,
And Jack the hangman IN the renrl
Thrice happy he who, early taught
by nature, ne'er this poison sought
He, with the purling stream content,
The beverage quatfs that nature meant;
In reasons scale his actions weighed
His spirits want no foreign aid.
Long life Is his, in vigor passed,
Existence welcome to the last
spring that never yet grew stale,
Such virtue lies in Adams ale.
