Su9ar at Retail.

Grocers everywhere assert that
there is little or no profit in reta ling
sugars, and housekeepers contrm this
by saying that there is small econo-
my in buying sugar by the keg. The
tradition touching the small profit in
handling sugar at retail is certainly
more than 100 years old, for writer
in the middle OF last century affirmed
that London grocers of that day were
often out $50 10 f70 year for paper
and packthread used In wrapping up
sugar, and some grocers would not
sell sugar TO customer who did not
at the same time purchase some other

There is n kind OF swearing, which
many people are given TO, when they
are angry. Instead OF giving vent TO
their feelings In oaths, they slam the
doors, kick the chairs. stamp on the
floor, throw the furniture about and
make all the noise they possibly can
Ii IS practically the same thing as
swearing-spr, from the same
kind OF feelings exactly, but avoids
saying those awful words. They
fore the furniture TO make the

was the way the advertisement ran.
In the windows hung some really
handsome articles Of clothing, which
we're calculated TO make the passer-

"order-coat' before the blessing OF a
closing out sale came in view. On
the tables within the shop were
piled coats almost innumerab.e.
On the front table and Ou the top
Of the pile was coat which the
prospective customer regarded with
great favor. IL seemed To be "S3O

one he picked up on entering the
store. He put 1t Oh, but before he
had had time TO see himself in IL the
salesman had dragged IL of with the
remark, THAT won't do at ALL" and
offered him a garment OF faded blce,
which looked like So coat for $40.
The visitor asked for coat similar
10 the one first noticed.
Sorry, but these are broken lots

coat was brought on

then came back 10 his first love Il

"Oh, that won't TT you at all, "
said the clerk, but he helped the
visitor 10 don the coat and the latter
thought IL fitted very well. Then
the discovery was made that IL was
already sold. The customer didn't
see it in that light, and in conse.

held in the back part Of the store A
man came forward and said:
''rhere's a man in the backrOom
that wants that coat"
Il want il, too, " said the customer,
''But IL doesn't fit you"
"All IL needs is 10 shorten the
sleeves and you say you do that for
people"
"Well, we can't do il on that coat.

don't want such looking thing to

prietor.

THE HORSEPOWER CASE.

1t is pity that politics and states
manship cannot trot in double harness.
But they can't. In the case OF the
Hornblower appointment this unfortu-
nate fact is made especially clear.
Judge HoRNBLowER, from doing his
duty, honestly and fearlessly, became
involved In the maZes and intricacles OF
New York politics, thing which for
ways that are dark and tricks that are
vain has no equal on earth. His ap-
polntment by President CLEVELAND to
NIL the vacancy on the Supreme Bench
was most fit one, for Judge HORN
BLOWER stands at the head OF his pro-
fession, and though comp arativeIv
young man, as Supreme Court Judges
go, is in every way qualified for the po-
ston.
But Judge HoRNBLowER had run-or
rather had been run-afoul Of Senator
DAVID b. HILL. That settled it. His
nomination was first chung up," aud
then reported adversely in committee,
and when it came to an open question
In the Senate, HILL had brought enough
Democratic Senators his way to defeat
its confirmation, aud at the same time
hit the President n side swpe.
1t is pity so good and fitting an APP
pointment was defeated, but the ex-
egencles OF New York politics required
it, and it was done.
