Tho Five Fsithful Mares.

The origin of the best strain Of Arabian
blood has been related by some romancer.
While Mohammed was fighting his way
to greatness he was once compelled to lead
his corps of go, 900 cavalry for three days
without u drop of water. At 1agt from q
hill top they deserted the silver streak of q
distant river. Mohammed ordered his
trumpeter to blow the call to digmount
and loose the horses. The poor brutes,
starving for water, at once sprang into 8
mad gallop toward the longed for goal.
No sooner loosened than came the alarm
false, as 1t happened-of a sudden am
bush. "To horse'' was blown and re-
peated by a hundred bugles. But tho
demand was too great. The parched
threats were not to be refused. The stam-
pede grew wilder and wilder as 10000
steeds pushed desperately for the river
banks.
OF all the frantic crowd but five mares
responded to the call. To these duty was
higher than suffering. They turned in
their tracks, came bravely back, pleading
in their eyes and anguish in their sunken
TANKS, and stood before the prophet. Love
for their master and q sense Of obedience
had conquered their distress, but their
bloodshot eyes told of a fearful torment
tho more pathetic for their dumbness.
The danger was over. The faithful mares
were at once released, but Mohammed So
lected these five for his own use, and they
were the dams of one of the great races of
the desert. From them have sprung the
best Of Arabian steeds. It can, however,
scarcely be claimed that the average horse
of the orient comes up to this ideal. He
must have been bred from the 10, 095.-

Not Worth q Straw.

When one says Of anything that it is
mot worth a straw" one means to imply
that it is worthless, for what can be the
value of q straw The older saying vas
"not worth u rush, and this brings out
the origin OF the phrase better. In the
days before carpets it was the custom to
strew the floor with rushes. When guests
Of rank were entertained, PUSHES, green,
fresh and sweet, were spread for them,
but folk of lower degree had to be content
with rushcs that had already been used,
while still humber persons had to do
without any, us not even being worth a
rush. "-Exchange.

WHEN EDISON WAS YOUNG.

"I was an operator in the Memphis of flee when Thomas A. Edison applied to the manager for a position" said A. c. Rockefeller, a member of the Reminiscence Club, St. Louis "He came walking into the office one morning, looking ikea yer itable hayseed. He wore hickory shirt, a pair of butternut pants tucked into the tops of boots size too large and guiltless of blacking. Where's the boss ? was his query as he glanced round the office. No one replied at once and he repeated the question. The manager asked him what he could do for him, and the future-great proceeded to strike him for job. Busi- ness was rushing and the office was two men short, so almost any kind of light ming slinger was welcome. He was as- signed to desk and .fulisade of winks went the rounds of the office, for the jay was put on the St. Louis wire, the hardest in the office.
 "At this end of the line was an operator who was chain lightning and he knew it. Edison had hardly got seated before St. Louis called. The new conner responded and St. Louis stai ted in on a long report, and he pumped it in like house afire. Edison threw his leg over the arm of his chair, leisurely transferred wad of spruce gum from his pocket to his mouth, pick ed up pen, examined it critically, and start ed in, about 200 words behind. He didn't stay there long, though. St. Louis let out another link of speed, and still an- other, and the instrument on Edison's ta- ble hummed like an old-style Singer sew ing sewing machine.
 "Every man in the office left his desk and gathered round the jay to see what he was doing with that electric cyclone.

WORLDS COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION, GIL oAao, March 8, S93.-Because of many misrepresentations and misstatements rel ative to exposition management and af- fairs being in circulation through the press and otherwise, both in this country and abroad, and in reply to many letters of inquiry or complaint touching the same matters, it seems advisable that some of ficial statement regarding them should be made to the public. Therefore respect fully ask that the widest publicity be given to the following facts:
 1. The exposition will be opened in readiness for visitors May 1.
 3. An abundance of drinking water, the best supplied to any great city in the world, will be provided free to all. The report that charge would be made for drinking water probably arose from the fact that hygeia water can also be had by those who may desire it at one cent a glass.
 3. Ample provisions for seating will be made without charge.
 4. About 1 ,5O0 toilet rooms and clos cts will be located at convenient points in the buildings and about the grounds, and

We cannot afford to enter 1893, un- til we've paid our respects and hearty thanks to good old 1892 The year that is past brought us increased busi- ness beyond our plans and dreams. The year was filled with opportunities and we'd have been blind not to have accepted them. The chances for liberal trading were grand. It has seldom been the privi- vilege of a business house to have the for tune to pass over to their patrons so many ex- cepttonal values, brought about by a constant watch in all markets for break in prices, thereby securing for our trade the best possible values.
 We'll begin '93 with brighter future than any preceding year.
 On Tuesday, Jan. Sd, we inaugu- rate Special Sale of Dry Goods that will command attention all over Western New England. For several months past we have been searching for Dry Goods wherever an op- portunity presented itself in the way of break in prices. While we do not welcome such a state of affairs yetmanufacturers will make too many goods; partners will disagree-some of them die
 stocks have got to be sold cash got to be raised. These and other circumstances give us the priv ilege to offer to an appreciative public the best values we've ever known of in Dry Goods.
 Also great January Sale of Ladies' Muslin Underwear. This branch of our business requires but little comment. Con- mencing last April we made contracts for this class Of goods with prominent manufacturers on the most advantageous terms, the result being an aggregation of goods and low prices that will play an important part in this great sale. Noth- ing unworthy is offered.
 In connection with this sale every department in the house will offer special values.
