that takes them away and
there's no one bidding against
you. It's astonishing how many
people wanted good light but
held back for fear the price
was against them. You have
another chance this week if
they are not all sold.
Rookwood, the most beauti.
tul of all American pottery is
about half the price it was two
years ago without any change
in quality. Some choice vases
are of exquisite tints and artis
tic decoration equal in effect
to Crown Derby or Royal
Worcester. Your cabinet will
be improved by the addition
Of one or two pieces.
Two very handsome sets in
silver for tea service will catch
the eye of the man who wants
to impress upon his wife the
fact that he is the very best
husband in the world. The
price is insignificant compared
with the beauty it adds oyour
table and the high appreciation
which your good wife will have
for you.
The cut glass cream pitchers
mentioned in this column last
week are really the most beau
tiful pieces of this ware we
have ever had. The shapes
are odd and the cutting equal
to the most expensive bits
manufactured. One piece o1
cut glass is as much value in
table decoration as any thing
you can buy. Some Of the
olive dishes are duplicates O
the very handsome ones shown
last year; others are of an en-
tirely new pattern, shell shaped
and the quint essence Of love
illness.

shakers. We have never showI
one to a person yet but wha
a sale was made and the pur
chaser felt that he had th'
best Of the bargain. Tha
means that they are cheap.
Carving sets are always ii
demand at this season. Vision
of aged turkeys, sold as tn

and he yearns for sharp toe
to do the work with. If yo
do not need a set Of carver
we can supply you with

The Hawaiian Hardware Co. calls
attention in their column to num-
ber of articles appropriate for every
day use or Christmas gifts. The
reputation which this company has
established for having the very best
assortment of goods in the various
lines which they handle is having its
effects now when the cry of hard
times deters people from spending
their money. You will always find
customers in their salesroom and the
result of visit there is satisfactory
to the purchaser and the company.

Hypnotization of Birds and Amin ais.

/ take cock and repeat on it what il
known as the eXperimentum mirabile OF
kircheri; it is fresh from the barnyard
and a very pugnacious animal. If l hold
it it struggles and screams, but l have
only to place it quietly and firmly on q
board and draw a chalk line from its beak,
which l have depressed until it touches
the board, and it remains firmly hypno
tized. 1t is motionless, or, as people would
say, fascinated; and ii will remain in this
position for an indefinite time. / take q
rabbit and adjust it on its back in little
trough, which is only used to prevent il
from falling over, and it also becomes rap
idly hypnotized. The same thing happens
with guinea pig or frog. or even with d
young alligator. The limbs are plastic,
can be moved in any direction, and stay in
the position in which they are placed.
So also, with a number of other animals,
such as birds and crayfish. Hartins
states that if this experiment be frequent
ly repeated with fowl it will often be
come permanently psralyzed in some of its
limbs. If take up the hypnotized rabbi,
or lift the cock, they at once become active
and come out of their hypnotic into THEN
natural state. Position, tactile impress
sion, are the means used here to produce
hypnotism and possibly also mental i'm
preston. Visual impression produces sim
liar effects. Richet has produced similar
effects with lime light TO those whicE
Charcot produces on his hypnotic, catalep
tic and hysterical patients. Ernest Hart

A Remarkable Coincidence.

Some time ago d lady in London
wished to write to friend in America
whose address she did not know. The
only means she had of procuring the adj
dress was to write to mutual friend,
who also lived in America. This she
accordingly did, and the letter was duly
dispatched. The ship which carried the
letter was wrecked and the mails We're for
a time lost. They were eventually recov-
cred and brought back to England, the
letters, now much damaged by sea
water, being returned through the dead
letter Office to the senders. The letter
in question was sent back to the lady,
who naturally examined it infinitely.
To her surprise she found that another
letter had become closely stuck to it.
Holding up the twofold missive to the
light, she deciphered the address on the
one which was stuck to her own. 1t
was letter addressed to the friend to
whom she had wished to write, and to
discover whose whereabouts her own
letter had been dispatched. Her letter
thus literally brought back its own an
swer.-Leeds (Eng.) Mercury.

SMALL TALK.
What Conversation in Social Circles
Consists of According to q Man.

"I do not make calls" gentleman said
recently, because | have grown so stupid

The editor of course discussed wisely
upon the subject, as is his wont.
st is not in the least question Of stu
pidity," he said at is partly matter OF
habit and partly the lack of continuity.
To talk small talk one must keep in prac.
tice, just as one must keep in practice
in playing the piano. You cannot take it
up and Jay it down at will. You must
keep the mind and the tongue Timber, and
If you really wish to be an expert am
not sure that it is not necessary to keep up
the praceice alone at home"
He smiled a little at the conceit, and
went on celebrating the idea
sit might be a good idea" he said, "to
have dummy sort of lay figure of the
kind that artists have standing lopsidedly
about thair studios-apd to take so much
time each day to talk to il. 1t GOULD come

fened my tongue but find that there is
nothing IN the world that ann inclined to
talk about"
THAT. too, is partly the result Of lack
of pracace," the editor went on in his
oracular manner, ''since it is the result OF
being out of the current of small talk.
Small talk is very largely made up of the
little norhings of the day, and stiH more it
is composed Of the little nothings of so
ciety' AFORESAID. There is about it some
thing of the nature of the dust collected
from the rugs and the carpets by the broom
of the housemaid; it is made up of threads
of different hues brushed from each figure
in the pattern.
'SmaN talk is the fuzz brushed from
each figure in the social fabric. Il Is
largely made up of scraps of trivial infor.
nation, comment or speculation in regard
to the persons who make up given set.
To keep up with this is essential to being
well up in small talk
"In other words" the first speaker said,
nit is largely gossip"
"That is not at all what I mean" the
editor responded. "Of course gossip comes
into it, but for the most part it is of a nature
too trivial to be called gossip. 1t is the
most airy and trifiing mention of this, that
and the other. What one has said about
nothing, where another has been, how
still third looked on a given occasion,

a rule; it is not even in the smallest degree
impertinent or overcurious. 1t is only to

A Sort of DipitaI Depression.

Did you ever notice when man
smites his thumb with hammer while
putting down carpet under wifely
supervision and criticism how quickly
he thrusts the bruised and throbbing
member into his ready mouth? People
think it 5 because the application is
soothing. But no; it is an involuntary
movement, same as winking. The man
cannot help it. Nature knows what the
man would be apt to say under the Cir
cumstances, and SO she has provided
him with stopper and has ordained
that whenever he hits MS thumb hard
enough TO hurt-and it doesn't take very
much to nearly kill man when he Is
doing something he doesn't want to-by
a sort Of interlocking system the thumb
flies into his mouth and stops him up, so
that he can't say anything. Some men
whom You and | know should be pro-
vided with an extra thumb which they
might carry about in their hand all the
time it wasn't in active use. 1t would
be great thing. wouldn't it?-Robert

THE OLD RED SLEIGH.

I'll own the new one pretty,
With its rods and varnish bright,
With its bells that gayly Jingle
And its furry robes of white,
OF the latest style and finish
Fit TO hold royal guest;
Still, il seems to my poor wisdom
That the old red sleigh is best.
When boy. well remember,
Father piled us children on
For a ride down to the village
Mary. Kate, myself and John.
How the winter winds came sweeping
Round Us FROM the treeless west.
But twas warm there all together,
For the old red sleigh is best.
When was youth of twenty,
Brother John was quite lad;
How we gathered in the neighbors,
And what glorious times we had!
Never was there one too many,
But it always stood the test,
Though il overfiowed with young folks;
Yes, that old red sleigh Is best.
Then married, and your mother
Rode beside me all the way,
AS we went for merry dinners
Many gladstone holiday.
And her little snowy fingers,
In nay :c.-cat, strong hand caressed,
Seemed to always mutely tell me
That the old red sleigh was best.
And again, that long, sad winter,
Just before she went from me
To her home among the angels,
We were riding out, we three.
And seem to see her sitting
With You there upon her breast,
In my heart hold the picture;
And the old red sleigh is best.
-Lucius Mitchell in New York Ledger.

glad to see you: come and SIT down a
minute. | viii talk to you as soon as ]
have sent this copy up stairs. Take q
paper. Haven't seen you since college
time, and turning to his desk he con
tinued to make broad marks with blue
pencil across the reporters copy.
Mr.. Rush was bewildered. What did
it all mean? Was the delicious young
creature who sat there in gorgeous
fnery at an ink stained desk, writing
away for dear life, really the same
young lady whom he had met in the ex-
elusive society of the Van Tromps?
While waiting for the time when the
city editor would give him the key TO
the puzzle he made list of the guests
who had been at the ball, for which the
young lady rewarded him with gra-
cious though trife shamefaced smile.
You see, my dear boy" at last said
the editor In half whisper, I'VE worked
it beautifully. We had to get something
about the Van Tronp affair, but even
our keenest reporters were baked in any
attempt 70 secure particulars before
hand. There was still less likelihood of
our getting the news at the ball itself
unless we employed desperate means.
''Miss &. has been writing some stories
for us occasionally, and of course she
objected very strenuously at first to ap-
pear under false colors until the manag-
ing editor promised her regular ap-
pointment on the paper, which she needs
badly enough, poor girl. She is taking
care of crippled brother and of her
mother also. They had once been in
better circumstances. But that is neither
here nor there. Isn't tit beautiful Hired
dress, diamonds, carriage, everything
How grandly we will scoop our esteemed
contemporaries" and he laughed bois-
terously.
Mr.. Rush joined in the laugh.
About four months later the young
lady reporter was playing with spar
king diamond ring that shone on her
hand. Mr.. Rush sat by her side and
nobody was near to interrupt their little
tete-a-tete.
Mr.. Rush was very thoughtful.
"What is ailing you, Jack-Mr. Rush,"
came from her.
She had to repeat the question after a
wait of minute or so.
81 will ask you just one question" he
replied, eff you promise not to take it
amiss."
Of course the promise was given.
"How is it that you posed as friend
of the De Ryders when you came to the
Van Tromp ball:"
The young lady burst into ripping
laugh.
"You dear old goose" she said at last,
when she succeeded in suppressing her
mirth, ''there is nice old woman going
the rounds of the newspaper offices at
night. She sells apples, figs, candy
anything you want. Her name is Mrs. De
Ryder, and she never dreamed that any
one else bore that name but herself
You would not blame me for the little
stratagem of using her name, especially
as it was perfectly true that she sin
cerely regretted her inability to ENJOY
the hospitality of Mrs. Van Trump
would you?"-Max De Lipman in Epoch.

''Salina Brown and Thankful CrSne,"
Said grandmother, one day,
"Were girls who went 10 school 70 me
When taught down in Bray.
1.-The scholars sewed on long seams then.
Each afternoon their stent;
used to mark of with pin,
AS TO their seats they went.
Thankful would take her seam between
Her thumb and finger-so;
And put each stitch in straight and true
Her face all of glow.
'Salina, with frowning look,
Would measure off the length,
And fretting DER her stent, would lose
Halt of her time and strength.
-Thankful's was always finished first,
And this the reason why,
Her thoughts were on the stitch in time,
Not those of by and by.

About her pleasant way,
And wish we all could do our work
In short lengths, day by day"

Our stock is like stream
hundreds take from it, yet it
never diminishes. This, OF
course, is because there is a
never dying spring of supply
that feeds the stream, sluggish
streams stagnate, SO do sluggish
stocks, they become stale. They
are not fit for commercial use,
any more than stale meat. Con-
slant motion keeps the water In
the best condition-and a con-
slant flow of trade does the same
thing for a stock of Clothing.
We have no stale stock. because
it is always flowing out and flow

Twenty Dollars for a Place in LIN


The postoffice of San Francisco In lS49
was frame building of one story and an
attic on the corner of Clay and Pike streets
There was but small accommodation here
for clerks and handlers" and still less for
the impatient and peremptory crowd of
home hungry men who came daily, but
most of al on mail day, which was once
month, and TOOK the small windows and
loopholes by storm. To avoid confusion
and dangerous conflict. long cues were
formed, extending from the windows along
Clay street to the Plaza, and along Pike
street sometimes rs far as Sacramento, and
even to the chaparral beyond. Here trad
ers, miners, merchants gamblers and ad-
venturers of every complexion waited in
their places, often from the afternoon of
one day, all night long, TO the morning Of
the next, in the mud and the soaking rain.
with weary limbs and anxious hearts.
Men whose strength was unequal 10 the
strain were glad to employ others to hold
their places for them through the long
hours; and there were those who, while
not seeking or expecting letters for them
selves, secured good standings in the hne
before the coming OF the crowd, only 70
sell their right OF place to richer men whose
time was money. From ten to twenty dol
lars was a common price for such service
