SOMETHING LEFT
at Sternberg's.

Our Christmas trade was ''clearingn in
its effect, but didn't quite make a ''clean
sweep" Some Holiday Goods were left.
We won't want them when the festive sea-
son is over-would rather let them go now.
Some people, perhaps fearing "Christmas
prices" resolved to wait and make their
presents after Christmas. They come in
noD. We will make the loss at once and
be done with it. therefore this is the oppor-
tunity for those who waited. Vases, Cut
Glass, Japanese Goods, Lamps, fine Crock
cry and China, Bronzes. Statues, Onyx
Tables, Brass Stands and Tables, novel
Bric.a-Brac, etc. All must be cleared out
prices won't disappoint you.
Our Diamond, Jewelry aud Silverware
Departments are still amply supplied. OF
course it is not necessary always to sell
UdludbLes at loss, it would be like Offering
half-eagles for four seventy-five. We
will, however, skin our profit to the bone
to reduce stock. This is another oppor-
tunity for tardy buyers.
Wedding presents are still in order.
Perhaps you belong to some society. Elec-
tion period is at hand, and you may want
to present some esteemed officer or colleague
with handsome Silver Piecs or Set, or a
Gold-hsndled Cane or Umbrella. We can
please you. Engraving, suitable inscrip-
tion, etc.
Drop in and see our stock, get our prices
and you can't help investing pro6tably to
yourself. STERNBERG's,

RAIL AND GROSS TIE.

Mr.. s. s. Satchwell, travelling freight and
Passenger agent of the Alabama Midland
railway, was in the city yesterday.
They year 1890 was remarkable forraiIroad
consultations. The sharp rivalry between
tne large systems led to the absorption of
many Of the weaker lines, either for the
purpose OF securing valuable connections or
terminal facilities, or to prevent rival sys-
IeLns invading exclusive territory. The ab-
ssoorpCon 30 OF smaller roads has been one of
SAe notable features of progressive railroad
management. No less than fourteen roads
became part of other roads or svstens
during the year.

According to a story now current in
Washington clubs, Commander Schley
of the navy received among his boyhood
Christmas presents handsome Bible
from rich aunt. After a moments re-
Election, they say, he exclaimed: I'm up
to that dodge" and began examining the
volume eagerly leaf by leaf until he
reached the Sermon on the Mount, where
he found a ten dollar bill pinned to the
page. This is no better story than that
of George Hayward's gift Of a big Bible
to the old city club.
In the presence Of witnesses he put a
ten dollar bill in the book-at what chap
ter is not stated. The volume lay ON the
center table in the reading room. At
the end of a year, in the presence of the
same witnesses, Mr.. Hayward opened
the Bible and found his ten dollar bill
just where he had left it. There was
nobody in that club who waS up to the
dodge" which young Schley penetrated
so promptly,-Buffalo Courier.

A PRACTICAL JOKER.
Some of Perkins Harmless but Amusing
Tricks Which He Perpetrates.

Some of Perkins Harmless but Amusing
Tricks Which He Perpetrates.
Perkins is tall, angular and practical
joker of the severest type. One of his
peculiar pleasantries is to suddenly halt
a strange, pompous individual on the
street, buttonhOle him and remark with
cool assumption:
81 beg your pardon, sir, but l think
you have made mistake"
"What is that, sir?' the victim is like
ly to ask.
''Well," Perkins will reply with the
utmost audacity, this city does not be-
long to any one man or set of men. You
may think you own it, but you don't.
Seer" and Perkins will hurry away, leav-
ing the pOmpous man to his own rehec-
tiOns.
Sometimes he varies this interesting
performance in this highly original fash
ion: Stepping up to total stranger h9
will beg for light for his cigarette.
This trihing favor having been extended,
he will engage his victim in converse
ton for moment. When another
stranger appears Perkins halls him. AS
he approaches Perkins introduces him to
the first man.
"Ah, Mr.. Smith, permit me to present
you to my friend, Mr.. Brown. Mr..
Brown, Mr.. Smith"
Of course the men shake hands and
Perkins takes his departure, leaving the
strangers to extricate themselves from
their embarrassment as best they can.
One day Perkins entered a small east
side dry goods store with friend.
Ranged in front of the counter We're Il
row of stools. Upon these the men seat
ed themselves. In moment a dapper
young clerk came up and asked Perkins
what he desired. For an instant he
seemed puzzled for a reply, but soon his
eyes rested upon the familiar sign IF
you don't see what you want ask for it. "
That furnished him with Il clew.
well" he said in measured tones,
''you can bring me plate of coTned beef
hash, nicely Drowned, with two poached
eggs on top; also 4 cup of hot coffee.
What's yours, GEORGE" he added, turn
ing to his friend.
Gimme the same" he responded.
All the girls i'll the store stared hard
at the impudent fellows, and the clerks
eyes began to bulge.
Gentlemen" he replied, with a show
of calmness, you have made a slight
mistake; this is u dry goods store and
not Il restaurant. Do l look like a
waiter?'
Il am not here to answer questions,
young man." said Perkins, as with his
friend he rose and moved toward the
door, but if you can't fill orders you'd
better go out of the business or take in
your sign"
And the jOlers vanished out the door.
Perkins is still at large-New York

Tho Mushroom.

1t is commonly believed that the
mushroom literally grows in night, 80
that it has come to be emblematic Of
sudden development, but the truth is
quite otherwise. 1t is very likely to re-
quire several weeks for its formation,
and up to the time of its appearance in
the light of day it remains beneath the
surface, very much compressed and held
in small compass. Then comes moist
night, and the cells of which the fungus
is composed are greatly expanded, so
that 1t thrusts itself out above ground,
But it is no heavier, though so much
bigger, than days before, perhaps, when
it lay hidden in small compass under the
top layer of soil, perfect mushroom
