DIRECTLY TO THE POINT.
The importance of an
enterprise is measured by
the success it attains. A
Tailoring business such as
this could not assume the
proportions II has attained
unless built upon the foun-
dation stones of good
sound business princi-
pies. If 1t has grown to
be the largest Tailoring
business in the city. which
fact is not now disputed.
does it not in itself pre-
sent q most convincing
argument that it is tie
best all-around Tailoring
for the money possibly OBJ
ta.nable! When the busi-
ness itself speaks 50 forci-
bly, and eloquently what
need is there for me to
speak!

The oil of the walrus Is the principal result
Of its chase, but this oil is inferior to that de-
rived from seals, and less in quantity in pro-
portion TO the creatures bulk, tho largest sell
dom yielding over 500 pounds. IL is useful for
the same purposes as whale oil. and the most
of il goes, presumably. to adulterate that better
product. No statistics are at hand but the
amount taken must still be very considerable,
since all whaling vessels 20 prepared TO save
such walruses as they come across. They have
special boats for the chase Of the sea-hOTse.
The hide is little valued at present in Amer
lea, almost its only use being as a covering for
hing-wheels aud as ehaing-gear on ship
board. Anciently this was the material out of
which the English made their ships cables, and
Othere sailed away TO the Arctic seas in the
time Of King Alfred, for the purpose of bring.
ing back this necessary adjunct 20 the Kings
vessels. In Europe the hide finds market in
Russia. where it is tanned into "A spOngy leather,
principally devoted TO harness making. For
merly this supply was largely derived by Rus
STA from Siberia and Alaska. "As long as the
weather remained cold aud dry the wear Of the
material was highly satisfactory; but woe TO
the KiLitscha If caught out in a rainstoTm !
The walrus harness then stretches like India
rubber, aud the horses fairly leave the vehicle
far behind, sticking in the mud, though the
traces are unbTOkeu."

In the Name Of the Prophet-Figs.
Leisure Hour.l

II used TO DO jestingly said that the name Of
Mah0met was invoked for all purposes, even
down 70 the itinerant fruit-seller, whose cry
was " In the name Of the PrOphet-fgs." But
it appears to DO the practice for intcrprising
and pusing British manufacturers to have re-
course to the same alliance of piety with profits.
British exporters % Morocco it seems, have been
accustomed To place Arabic inscriptions on their
wares. such as caicOes, candles, matches, etc.
According to the Consul at MagadOr, the Sui
tan has lately issued the following warming
through the Customs administration: HaY-
ing learned that certain goods imported, in
Guiding calicoes, matches, etc. have been i'm
ported, bearing in Arabic characters the names
OF Mahomet. of Hassan and Ali, and others
held sacred by Moslimen, aud bearing other
writing not suitable to DO on such articles,
order you to give notice TO the merchants to
advise their correspondents i'm other countries
to discontinue the sending Of goods so marked.
A reasonable time will be allowed for this no.
tice to reach them. Any such goods imported
after due notice has been given will be seized
by the Government and treated as cOntraband.
Should the importer be a MOslim he will be
punished ia addition to the forfeiture"
IL is evident the Consul adds, that the prac-
tice Of inscribed goods destined for MahOmetan
countries with the name Of the Prophet, and
