Charge for Wrappers.

One of the tricks of trade is for the
shopkeepers in London to include the
weight of the paper in which articles
sold are enveloped. 1t has been shown
that huge profit is made in this way.
For instance, the report of the public
control department of the county coun-
ell states that in a recent case it was
shown that firm of tea dealers sold
as quarter-pounds of tea packets which
contained four drachms weight of pa
per, and that on this the firm profited
to the extent of some thousands year.
The result of the investigation in Lon
don was that out of SIS bags of flour
weighed ready for delivery 427 were
found of deficient weight. the def
cheney amounting to over 9 per cent;
in 400 packages of sugar 81 were found
to be short weight, while ont of 233
packages of tea 80 were short weight
to the extent of over per cent. In
addition to the loss by weight of the
wrapper, it was found that in a num-
Der of cases the gross weight of the
packets was short.-Chicago HerTld.

SNAKE SKINS AS TIES.
They May Become Fad Among the
Swell Chappies.
From the New York Advertiser.

From the New York Advertiser
Just several shades removed from the
chameleon fad is the idea of wearing
snake skins for neckties, but the fashion
is growing in Baltimore. 1t promises to
become quite the proper caper to be seen
in Immaculate morning suit of the latest
london cut, with the tanned cuticle Of a
three-foot reptile neatly tied around the
snowy "choker" collar, or whatever
other style of linen neckwear happens to
be the rage.
The fad will never become violent hero,
for fine snake skins come high, and the
crop may thin out so as to let the West
Virginians who make a business of catch
ing the possessors of variegated outer
coverings create corner in the market
and coin a fortune. Baltimore has swells
enough to take up the fashion, and, if
they do as they threaten now, "Bill' Nc

To be in the swim nowadays and have
the swagger thing in neckties man must
not only wear a snake skin. but the cuti-
Gle of a 'rattler" of about 30 years Of age.
The peculiar color of the RATHER, when he
has passed in his checks and gone to

the skin more va liable than when his

The necktie must be that of snake of

to possess all the qualifications as to color
and durability OF hide the heal of the
house can lay claim to. Presumably it's
because a snake of three decades or so
has been through about all the different
kinds of dissipation known to the reptile
world, and his physical hide is cognizant
of no more conjunction than his moral
nature.
Then an old RATHER is generally larger
than young chap, and a tie about yard
in length is bound to bring more in the
market than whipper-snapper snake
could show before he reaches his ma GRITTY.
No other kind of a snake Indigenous to

cause but few varieties attain his length

nismnrols,s Good. Humor.

The Deutsche Revue publishes the fol-
lowing as an illustration of Prince Bis
marck's good humor: AFTER no had &C.
cepted the ministry Of commerce the prince
was struck by the insigniflcanco of many
matters he had to decide. If, sor instance,
anybody had been caught illicitly hawk
ing goods and had been sentenced to fine,
but had to be pardoned on the score Of
I,overty, it was necessary for tho remis-
sion Of tho fine to obtain the consent Of
two ministers-the minister of finance and
the minister Of commerce. Bismarck had
taken special nctico CT case of this kind.
A peddler had been sentenced to fine of
20 marks, and the under secretary of state
reported to the new minister Of commerce
that he was poor devil who had to main
tain wife and child and would sink into
still deeper misery If the fine were convert
ed into imprisonment. He therefore beg
ged Bismarck to sign an immediate report
advising the king to pardon the peddler
The prince emphatically refused to do 30,
for, he said, If the king had to be advised
to use his right Of pardon in all such cases
justice would become dead letter. The
peddler has simply not to pay the fine and
must escape imprisonment in order to
save himself and his family from absolute
ruin. The under secretary Of state then
referred to the traditional practice and ap-
pealed to the heart of his chief, who an
swered: All right. I'll give tho Door
devil the 20 marks out of my own pocket,
but you shall not have my signature for the
thinq,'u
