A RETURN made by British Gov
ernment agent shows some peculiar
things regarding the prices Of bread
and -four at different points on tho
Continent OF Europe. For instance,
-four retailed at cents a pound at
Budapest End cents pound at
Paris, Frankfort and Florence. At
Lille, 0odr WAS AZ cents pound, and
white household bread 81 cents n
pound; at Berlin these figures were
exactly reversed or course, quality
HIS much to do with price; but it Is
remarkable how the price of bread
varies with different cities. n somc
English cities It is almost given
away; and in some American cities it
brings two or three times the price
that it does In England.

DR.. Boyd, in his Twenty-Five
Years Of ST. Andrews, gives some
stories OF eminent preachers. Here
are two of Drs. Wallace and Mac
Gregor Said Wallace from the pull
pit: We are told TO love our ene-
mics; but we are not told to like
them. don't like my enemies. /
dislike them very much. But'-this
with baleful glance-'love them.
And shall ever be ready to show my
love to them by trying To get them
severely punished, that they may be
led TO repent OF their behavior to-
wards me-" Again: 'Once at a
gathering of 3, 600 people at Aber-
deem, l saw and heard Ma;Gregor
cause wild enthusiasm by simple
means, There was day." he said,
ION which an ancestor OF mine was
sentenced to he hanged" Loud ap-
plause greeted this tragic statement.
The orator went on: Il have no
doubt it was for stealing" Consider
ing the way in which the MacGregors
OF old got their living, the suggestion
was a very probable one. 1t was re-
ceived with thunderous cheering.
Then--'But as he was distinguished
thief, he was allowed TO select the
tree on which he was TO be executed;
and, with great presence OF mind, he
selected a gooseberry- 1t was
at once objected that il was not big
enough. But he said, with dignity,
"Jet it grow! I'm in no hurry"

The C9ur d'Alenes are the wealth.
est Indian tribe in the Northwest.
Many % the Indians have from
$1,000 to $4,000 on deposit in the local
banks, with the local merchants or in
Spokane. They all own farms, most
of which are fenced and being rapidly
placed in cultivation. They have
good homes, and many are setting out
nice orchards, which will be bearing
fruit in few years. They are very
careful with their money, buying
but few things they do not need, and
paying cash for each article rs it is
purchased, thus allowing no chance
for cheating in figuring up bill.
They understand making change, but
cannot compute figures. Many of
them, especially the children, can read
and write, and the latter can be heard
reading the signs aloud as they walk
along the street.

Turning English Into Jan.

In "Chamberlain's Handbook OF
Coloqujal Japanese" which is one of
the most popular works on the sub
ject, on page Ill. he gives this sem
tence in English: LET me know
when everything is ready" The sem
tence in japanese is given directly
opposite, with a literal translation in
the English in the order OF the Jap
anese words. 1t reads thus: Prep
aration's has, eventuated time, in
forming honorably give deign." To
one not understanding the con-
struction of the language the use of
the posseSsive noun, and the verb
used as an adjective, Is somewhat
puzzling. Here is another sentence
on the same page; while l was in
America" The literal translation OF
the corresponding japanese sentence
is "Me as-for America in dwell
while" Here is another, from
page 246: MAY l show it TO you"
The literal translation reads, Hon
orable eyes in putting even, good. -
The japanese, being naturally very
courteous people, use the honoritics
and the polite form Of the verb con-
tinually. as 20 me-" honorable eyes;
30 cha," the honorable tea; 20 yu, ="
the honorable hot water, etc.

lT is characteristic of our British
cousins that although it has been
found almost impossible to obtain
from the courts OF law protection Of
the rivers and streams whence drink
ing water is derived, yet that the
highest court Of appeal in the land at
once granted the necessary legal
safeguard when il was pointed out
that the pollution OF the water was
such as To render il unfit for the dis
tiIlation OF whisky. That was an ar
gument that seemed to touch the
House OF Lords, sitting as court Of
appeal, in a particularly weak spot,
and while the noble and learned
Legislators appeared indisposed to do
anything that could appear rs des-
tined to encourage the consumption
OF pure water by legislation prevent
ing the discharge OF sewage and
other communicating matter into the
streams, the moment that il was
shown to them that impure water
entailed bad whisky, the protection
demanded was at once granted.

A PROMINENT and successful manu-
facturer was recently asked why he
did al OF his advertising through the
leading Journals and never sent cir
culars or put up posters, and replied:
"Men who do not read their papers
and keep posted in their business are
usually poor customers Ii l sell
them good lot OF machinery they do
not know how to use it and report it
a failure, or we have to run after
them, lose time and money to get
them a-going and make the sale
stick. But those who read and are
posted know how and succeed. Such
men would not read circulars if l
were TO mail circulars TO them. They
see my ad regularly in the paper and
know that l have an established
business, and when they want any
thing in my line write me, and don't
whine about price or what time they
can get from others, but buy, try, and
have no trouble, and pay the bill.
Give me such a class OF customers as
get by such judicious advertising
