Mr.. George Ticknor, who wrote The
History of Spanish Literature" and
~The Life of Prescott, remembered
distinctly the death of Washington. He
says in his diary:
There never was a more striking or
spontaneous tribute paid to man than
was paid in Boston, when the news
came of Washington's death.
1t was on December IA, 1899, little
before noon, and Mr.. Ticl1nor says: Il
often heard persons say, at the time,
that one could know how far the news
had spread by the closing of the shops.
Each man, when he heard that Wash
ington was dead, shut his store, as
matter of course, without consultation,
and in two hours all business was
stopped

ant but somewhat ceremonious visits To

The dialogue ran something like this

patronizingly. ~There was when we
lived here. 1t just kept Grover and me
on the jump all the time to keep things
looking decent That's one reason we
were glad to move.
1T does keep one busy" said Mrs.

"Well, there's one comfort, and that
is that you amt likely ever to have to

consolingly.
Perhaps not-we shall see about

she rose to go. But before she took her
departure she stated the original object

One may sometimes be made to see
the uselessness of foolish habit by be-
ing made the victim of similar behavior
on the part of another. Here is an ex-
ample of being paid in zones own
coin.
A landlord in a country village was
busily employed at his desk. when a
farmer came to the door and asked to
see him.
The man was asked his errand, but he
persisted that he must see the hotel
keeper alone. The latter stepped out
side, when the farmer motioned him to
follow, and walked around to the rear
of the hotel.
When they were well around the
corner the farmer stated that he wished
to buy COW. and had heard that the
landlord had one To sell.
"Come on, said the other, and led
the way through a garden, patch Of
potatoes, and, after climbing fence,
through mu Idly barnyard and into
the hotel barn.
When they were inside, the landlord
put his mouth near the others ear and
whispered:
"Say, neighbor, I've sold my cowl"

Textile Industries In England aud Amer
lea.
Recently published statistics of III
textile industries of the British islano
contain some points of special interes.
Since 1874 the number of textile mill'
of all kinds has decreased from 1904 t.
z, 1870. But the capacity of the mills has
increased, as is shown from the fac
that the number of spinning spindle;
has grown from as, 793 107 TO AS. 400, 733
aud the number OF looms from 667, III
to 500. 4S9. There are also nearly 80 00j
more persons employed in the produc
ton of textiles. the number for 1874 be-
ing zoos, 6S5, and for 1889 being 1904,
631. The number of woolen mills has
declined from l,S00 to l, 1913 but the
number of looms has grown from 81, 090
to 81, S31, and the tot al number Of per-
sons employed from l34, sos to 14S, 729.
There has been All increase of the num-
ber of wor ted mills from 692 TO 1853.
with a growth of tile number of per-
sons employed from 142, ,097 to l46, ,324
The number of WOODEN and worsted
spindles in the United Kingdom is g.
$40, 131, which is am addition of only
161, 770 spindles since 1874, plain indi-
cation that the process of development
in this industry is losing its force. The
number of cotton mills has also de-
clined from 2, $50 in 1874 to 9, 53S in 1889
But the spindles have increased from
1855, 772 to 40,5l1, 934, and the total
number of persons employed from 479,
515 to $50 795. The American cotton
manufacture is growing with much
greater rapidity In 1880 we had in
this country 10, 653. ABS cotton spindles.
Last year we had IA $50, 600. Since 1857
the American consumption of cotton
