How Florida Crackers Got Their Name.
The drivers of the work teams in Paris
can beat the crackers" of Florida at
cracking their whips. This is saying
much, for the latter got their peculiar
designation from their skill in that di-
rection.-New York Sun.

AN ABsENT-MINDED MINISTER.

A n
New York Recorder.
A clergyman in little town in New
Jersey is now without a church, not
withstanding the fact that no member
of his faith was ever more devoted to
his creed than he. His parsonage was
close beside the church, he was accns-
toned to have services every Sunday
evening. and for three years of his pas
torate he had never failed to preach a
sermon there.
One Sunday night few weeks ago
the bell in his church summoned him to
evening prayer; he put on his overcoat
and hat, walked toward the church, say
ing to himself as he did so, "Service is
going to be held there" and never dream
ed that it was his service, nor that he
was the clergyman who was expected to
officiate. The church filed, the congre-
CATION waited, but the clergyman came
not. The vestrymen were surprised,
and, fearing that the minister was SICK,
some one was sent to the house to in
quire. There the servants said that he
had left the house to go to church, and at
this the vestrymen became very fright
ened. A search was instituted and fl
nally the preacher was found at the
house of young woman to whom he
was engaged to be married, standing
by her side singing to her aecompani-
ment. She had been surprised at his
visit, but not being ohurchwoman her
self. had made no inquiry as to why he
hsould have come at that time, and had
said nothing about the service that he
was evidently neglecting, while he de-
clares to this day-and those who know
him are confident that he is telling the
truth-that the fact that he had duty
to perform one to which he had long
been accustomed entirely slipped
his mind, and that the first intimation
of it was when the vestryman put in an
appearance. Friends accepted his state
ment, but his Bishop didn't, and there
is no Episcopal pulpit in America open
to him to-day.

UNPRECEDENTED EXPORT TRADE.

UNPRECEDENTED EXPORT TRADE.
Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette.
There is one thing the Mckinley tariff
has not done. 1t has not curtailed the
export trade of the United States. A
favorite argument of the free traders is
that high protective duties operate to
check exports; that if we restrict i'm
ports from other nations we can not ex-
pect them to buy as literally from us
and that the true principle is to encour-
age imports and pay for them by an ex-
change of domestic products. 1t was
predicted that under the operations OF
the new tariff our exports must neces-
sarily fall below those of other years,
but the facts show that the free traders
were false prophets in this as in other
predictions relating to the tariff.
During the period of eleven months
ending with May the excess of exports
over imports was S210,06l, ,16l, which
has been surpassed in only three full
years in the history of the country. The
excess for the month of May alone was
$1,064,081. In the same month of 1891
the excess of imports was SIG,
the increase in exports this year being
100000 and the decrease in imports
about So, 100000. Thus in eleven months
of the fiscal year the value of merchan-
disc exports was 1865, ,366,794 against
1855, 1906, ,633 imports, and for the twelve
months ending with May the value of
exports has been 81 ,622, ,96l ,52S.

SPEECHES OF POWER.

New York Mail and Express.
As our Washington correspondent
suggested yesterday, the speeches of
President Harrison and Gov. Mckinley
in the East Room, in connection with
the formality of notifying the Executive
of his denomination, can be used effec
lively in the coming campaign. These
speeches represent, on the one hand, the
voice of praise from the people of
great nation; on the other the pledge
of continued faithfulness and zeal or
the part of the Executive of 65,000,O0C
people.
Those informal utterances, people tc
their chief, President to his country,

will, in truth, "prove the upper and

Tariff Pictures.

New York Press.
In the ten months of the fiscal year
ending April 80, 1891, we imported
$36,944, ,443 of manufactured woolen
goods, but in the ten months ending
April 80, 1862, only S31,082,013. But
how do we know that the difference
represents so much added to American
industry? By the fact that we imported
$16,692,172 worth of raw wool, as against
S15,981, ,457 the previous year, and raised
A, ,93S, ,365 sheep in 1892, as against 49,

THE "LIFE" OF A LIMITED TRAIN.
Philadelphia Record.
In answer to the question what is the
"life" of New York and Chicago linn
tied train, Pennsylvania Railroad Off
ciaI says that it is trifle over months
and the fact that such train goes to the
shops to be thoroughly overhauled and
refitted twice a year will show how care
full the great railroads are to keep up
their standards Very often the trains
show but little wear, and only here and
there can the results of six months use
be detected, but they are nevertheless
ordered to the shops, stripped of their
interior fittings, repainted, gone over by
the workmen of every department that
took hand in originally constructing
them, and then restored to be turned
out again practically new cars. Anoth-
er interesting point was that these trains
are not patched up" with a new car
now and another new car again, but are
always sent out in complete sets of cars
from the shops, and when this is done
the train which is taken off to give
place to the new one Is used for some
less distinguished run.

ART IN BUTCHERY.

The Secrst of Simon Maier's Success in
Business Explained.
Even in country where cattle of all
descriptions are so easily raised and
fattened for the market as they are in
Southern California, the splendid dis
plays which can daily be seen at the
butcher shop of Simon Maier, 149 North
Spring street, astonish and delight our
epicures. To them the toothsome sir
loins and rounds of beef, the delicate
veal, the juicy legs of mutton and the
pinky feah of the hog, are poems far
superior to those which have made
Lord Tennyson celebrated in the world
of thought. Simon Maier's poems in
appetizing viands appeal to the inner
man with force that may not be gain
said. 1t cannot be otherwise, because
he has the art of his trade. His meats
are of the freshest, and how could it be
different with his enormous trade, as
purveyor to this city and all the towns
in large radius to which Los Angeles
acts as base of supplies? Then again,
you cannot fail to notice the excellent
manner in which the beef and the pork
the. veal and the mutton, the lamb and
the sucking pig are cut up and prepared
for the expectant customers. To look at
the roasts, while they are still hanging
on the hooks, is to acquire instant sp-
petite. Can it then be wondered at
that Simon Maier alone does business
which is hardly surpassed in cities twice
the size of Los Angelesf
Not only in the retail trade does ST.
mon Maier lead, but he likewise has the
L - L .
orders for cattle or mutton on the hoof
he can fill at any time and at the short
est of notices, and it is safe TO say to the
entire Satisfaction of eonsignees. Simon
Maier did not come here yesterday, he
has been in the butchering trade right
in this city for great many years, and
he devotes every working hour of hie
life to its success. He deals square
with all his patrons, and for that reason
his name is synonymous with prosper
ity.
