perity.
For many CEN
turies English states
men were de -uded
with the idea that to
become a prosperous
and powerful nation
they must protect
themselves by put
ting fetters on COM
merce with other
people. Through the
teachings of Golden,
Bright and Adam
Smith these fetters
were broken and all
the nations on the
globe were invited to
bring to the English
markets all their
good things in ex-
change for England's
S urplus products.
When the laws
which fettered men
were repealed Eng
land became at once
the clearing house of
the world. Labor
was emancipated,
and today working
classes of Great Brit
ain obtain better
wages and enjoy
more of the good
things of this life
than those of any of
the old countries of
Europe. They have
larger wages, live
m ore generously,
and are far more in
dependent d t tn an
when hedged about
with laws for their
protection. By a
free commerce her
people have become
the creditors of all
the rest of the world.
They hold the obliga-
tions and clip the
coupons from the
bonded debts of all
nations. All pay
tribute to Englandl

WHEN the veil of death has been
drawn between us and the objects of our
regard, how quick-sighted do We become
to their merits, and how bitterly do we
then remember words or looks of un-
kindness which may have escaped us in
our intercourse with them! How care
full should such thoughts render us in the
fulfillment of those offices of affection
which it may be in our power to per
form! for who can tell how soon the mo-
ment may arrive when repentance can
not be followed by reparation?

It Is a good plan to keep two harnesses,

only q few days ago q harness that its
owner assured us had been used for best
during eighteen years, and 1t was still
in good condition. In that time many
farmers would be obliged to buy two II
not three harnesses. It Is possibly in

ley. The gentleman took ten silver quar-
teFs and laid them out carefully on the
marble counter. One Of the clerks selected
one ct his bidding, looked at It carefully
so as to be able to distinguish 1t from the
rest and held II while the gentleman shook
up the quarters in his hat. Then the
quarter was thrown into the hat and
shaken up with the rest. The gentleman
then laid them out on the counter, care
fully placing them one by one so as to
form q triangle. Then he moved them
mysteriously into the form Of a square
and then into the form Of q cross.
snow, the figures tell me-" said the
performer, "that the quarter you selected
Is the last one in the right arm Of the
cross"
"Yes, that's it," said the clerk, in
amazement.
He was tried many times and found in
fallible every time. Tie secret was that
the quarters lying on the cold marble
were all especially cold as compared with
the one held for q moment In the hand
while the clerk found its distinguishing
marks. Picking them out one by one,
the performer told by the warmth which
one was selected, and bis subsequent
moving Of the quarters was for purpose
Of mystifcation, while he kept his eye on
the warm quarter and later pointed 1t out.
The trick is first said to have been played
by Magician Herman. Likeotber tricks,
it is as old as the hills, for in tricks, as in
everything else, nothing is new under the
sun. 1t has been played with pennies in
private parlors for years to please and
mystify young folks. Its temperance
in new form at the hotel counter, where
1t can be well played with no preparation
over the cold counters, will now begin 10
amuse travellers from one endof the coun-
try to the other.
"Do you know that a silver dollar
twirled on q smooth surface will always
come tails up?" asked the same gentle
man naively.
The clerk looked as though he would
like to have bet millions it wouldn't. A
dozen times the gentleman twirled the
dollar on the marble counter. A dozen
times more the suspicious clerk tWirled
It himself. Almost every time the dollar
stopped tail up. "Talk about loaded
dice," said the man, laughingly, "you
see Uncle Sam loads his dollars" The
dollars are so stamped that more weight
lies on the head side than the other, and
as the piece twirls 1t is almost certain to
fall the same way every timeif the surface
is smooth and level.
