The feature Of the produce market during the

stock. This being the season of the year when
cattle are IN the best condition for market, the
supply being little heavier has a tendency to
crowd prices down. Hay and oats are being
sold little more freely, but rot in sufficient
quantities to affect this market in the least

A writer in the Nautical Magazine
tells "a story OF how a Yankee skipper
contrived To free his ship from rats.
While he lay in port he discovered that
one of the British ships then IN tho hnr-
Dor had among her cargo "A great
quantity Of cheese. He thcreupon
found an excuse for hauling over ~ her
and mooring his own packet alongside.
The next step was to procure n plank.

board the Enghshman. The immcai-
ate result was a wholesale emigration
of the rats from the American ships
hold to the chccsc-ladcn vessel along
side.
This fact seems more surprising when
we reflect upon the excessive rarity II
the atmosphere at such an elevation.
for of course the beam Of light would
not be visible If it did not illuminate

II is evident 1T glance that these
experiments have Il most important
bearing upon the art and practice -
signaling at a distance. Signal beams
of light thrown high and far in the air
may yet prove of immense Use for mill
tary and other purposes on land. and in
the guidance Of vessels surrounded by
pcrils at sea.

ed over the result of the election
than H. j. Edwards, of the carriage
manufacturing firm of H. J. Edwards
& Son. Forty years ago Mr.. Ed
wards and Grover Cleveland worked
together and shared the same bee
in the gener al store Of McVica &
Co. Fayetteville, N. Y.
EThis was one OF the biggest
stores in town." said Mr.. Edw ards
Con one side was good stock oi
dry goods, on the other was 8
rather primitive drug store and in
the rear was grocery. Cleveland d
or 'Grover' as we called him roomed
with me directly over the store
One of our great treats was for the
clerks from all the stores in the town
TO get together some night In the
week to tell stories and talk over
plans.
"In this connection there is an
incident that we'll illustrates Cleve.
lands sterling honesty. 1t hsd
been the custom for Us to help our
selves to the eggs without thinking
of paying for them, When the
clerks came to our store Cleveland
said the eggs must be paid for. He
was willing to have a good time
with the boys, but he didn't want
the Boss to lose it Some of the
boys protested but Cleveland was
firm and said if they would not pay
for the oggs he would. AS a con.
sequence reform was instituted
and after that the eggs we're always
paid for.
