Brass andirons, big and little, may be
bought in the antique shops at from
$3.50 to 40 q pair. The most highly
priced irons are called Chippendales.
Tho characteristic Of the Chippendale is
a shaft in three parts, that nearest the
feet being hexagonal, the next large and
egg shaped and the top repeating the
same egg form in about one-third the
diameter.
Another favorite form is ischaracterized
by a small vase, like a Colonial sugar
bowl, at the top a long, slender shaft,
with Corinthian capital, ON which the
vase rests, and q base that often has
three feet. Some Of these have the rear
horizontal bar crooked, so that a short
leg may be held without bringing the
vertical shafts too close together. Just
at the bend usually rises a second and
smaller shaft of brass. New York Sun.

breaking Up the Drummer's business.
An innovation which is spreading
alarm among travelling men is the ease
with which business men may secure
passes from railroads. A business man
goes to a railway manager and announces
that he is thinking of visiting the eastern
market Although nothing may be said
about it the railway magnate takes it
for granted that his caller will order his
goods shipped over the line granting the
pass Pasteboards are accordingly is
sued, not only for the merchant, but for
his entire family and one OF two cousins
and aunts thrown in. The practice has
grown to such an extent that railway
men tell me it is becoming a serious
question for the management to decide
where to draw the line.
The merchant goes east aud makes his
selection Of goods instead of patroniz-
ing the man who is on the road. Ths
railways have thus stepped in and inter
fered to a large extent with the business
Of the commercial traveller. AS the
passes are issued as often as asked for
the larger buyers are getting farthe'
and farther away from the drummer
For this reason younger and less ex-
peTienced men are sent out at compar-
ativeiy small expense 10 the house. In

When we stop 10 think, we wonder
how real the silly superstitions, in which

Gladstone rarely takes less than seven
hours sleep. Whenever he is preparing
for a great effort in the house Of com
mons he always likes a short afternoon
siesta. Bismarck has displayed a sim
liar habit on the occasion Of the most
fierce parliamentary debates. When all
night sittings were common Parnell
would go to his hotel, seek his bed and
leave instructions with one Of his col
leagues to have him aroused whenever a
crucial point was reached. These are
only few examples Of the great men
who have shown their thorough appreci.

plant struggles most eagerly to get

much like ourselves. AS an instance
OF how one tree will take advantage
