DRY GOODS.

Manchester. Oct. SO.-The Guardian in its
commercial article says: There is a more
hopeful feeling in the Manchester mar
ket. The rise in the price of raw cotton
has impaired strength to sellers, though
they have not held out for corresponding
advances in yarns and cloths. There are
signs of a revival in speculation in cot
ton, though it is not expected that such
speculation would be prolonged, as sellers
would probably repeal last week. success
full bear sales if the price should reach
about five pence per pound. The markets
have generally been stimulated by the ris
ing tendency in the price of silver. Cloth
is in improved demand for small lots; the
inquiry for India is moderate. There is
more trade at easy rates for common
shirtings for China. Nearly 5000 looms are
standing idle in Burnley owing to the bad
condition OF trade and there is a large
stoppage in other districts.

Dog Transfers His Custom.

A Philadelphia dog used to be sent by
his master every morning with penny
in his mouth to purchase bun for
breakfast He had continued to do this
for some time, when the baker, having
changed his helper, the dog was I'M
needed. The dog thereupon ran to the
baker, laid the penny at his feet and
barl1ed loudly at the assistant. The
baker explained matters, but the assist
ant, surly fellow, took it in bad part.
and next time the dog appeared he Sc
lected very hot bun ani gave it to
him. The animal, as usual, seized the
bun, but finding it too hot to hold, he
dropped it. He tried it again; again it
burned him. At length, as if guessing
the trick, he caught up the penny and
ran off to another bakers shop in the
neighborhood. No amount of coaxing
could ever get him to return.

But up to the present moment both
the alligator and Mr. AleXander's fami-

when the clumsy pet of this home dies

CANINE LIFE SAVER.


How Newfoundland Dog Rescued Eight
Shipwrecked Mariners.
Some years ago a vessel was driven
on the beach of Lydd, in Kent, Eng
land. The sea was rolling furiously.
Eight poor fellows were crying for
help; but a boat could not be got off
through the sea to their assistance, and
they were in constant peril, for any
moment the ship was in danger of sink
ing. At length gentleman came
along the beach accompanied by his
Newfoundland dog. He directed the
animals attention to the vessel and
put a short stick in his mouth. The
intelligent and courageous dog sprang
into the sea and fought his way through
the angry waves toward the vessel. He
could not, however, get close enough
TO deliver that with which he was
charged; but the crew understood what
was meant, and they made fast rope
to another piece of wood, and threw it
toward him. The noble animal at once
dropped his own piece of wood and i'm
1ncdiately seized that which had been
thrown to him, and then with a degree
OF strength and determination scarcely
credible, for he was again and again
lost under the waves-he dragged it
through the surge, and delivered it to
his master. A line of communication
was thus formed with the vessel, and
every man on board was rescued.-Our

EMPLOY THE CONvICTS.
Road Work Removes Them from Compc-
tition with Free Labor.

tition with Free Labor.
Prof. Emery, of the North Carolina
experiment station, contributes a val
liable bit of testimony in support of
the use of convict labor in road i'm
provement. He writes: 1.-The town
ship roads around this city (Raleigh)
are being put in fine condition by
work-house convicts. Grading and
macadamizing, aided by a ten-ton road
roller, are beginning to reflect credit
on the project. The drives around this
city are sure to increase the desire for
better roads for other localities among
the people who have the pleasurable
experience of riding over these i'm
proved ones" Gen. Roy Stone, chief of
the roads inquiry bureau of the depart
ment of agriculture, has reached the
firm conviction after a wide study of
the subject that one important factor
in road improvement is the employ
ment of convict labor. 1t has been
demonstrated that convicts in stock

tanned at less cost than within prison
walls, chiefly on account of the les
sened item of medical attendance when
convicts are at work in the open air.
When it comes to guarding Thorn at
road work the cost is somewhat in
crease, but not to an extent that should
prevent the utilization of their labor
in this erection. 1t is humane to af-
ford them healthful outdoor work; it
removes them from competition with
the honest artisan in the labor market
(which is eminently demanded by all
rules of justice), and it would greatly
lessen the cost of preparation of ma
terials and the cost Of construction

He Had Dined Before Dinner.

1t is said that the table manners OF
Napoleon Bonaparte were very bad,
and that he was so fast an eater that
hewas invariably through with his din
ner before those who dined with him
had got half through. In fact, those
who had the honor Of dining with the
emperor were wont to remain after hi
majesty's departure.
Upon one occasion Eugene de Beaa-
harnais, the 'stepson of Napoleon, ross
from the table Immediately after the
emperor.
"But-you haven't had time to finish
your dinner" said Napoleon.
Pardon me, SIRE" said the prince.

TWO DEVOTED SrORKS.
Real Bravery Shown by Them in Verv
Trying Circumstances.

Real Bravery Shown by Them in Verv
Trying Circumstances.
A very interesting tale of devotion is
told of two storks, birds that are noted
ly fond of their Young. During a
storm barn in the village of Lowen-
berg was set on fire by lightning, and
nest containing two baby storl1s was
threatened by the flames. The par
ents viewed the scene from a distance
in great CONSERVATION, and after a lit
tie deliberation the mother-bird took
wing, darted into the nest, and selling
one of the little birds in her beak, car
ried it off to a neighhoring field.
The father flew down to the little one,
and mounted guard while the mother
returned for the other. When she ar
rived the flames were enveloping the
nest, and the young stork fell through
the charred wood into the burning
barn below. Nothing daunted, the
mother dashed through smoke and fire,
and returned bearing her second little
stork in her beak, and then she flew
away.
The next day some people in an adj
jacent village discovered a wounded
stork. She was unable to stand, and
on examining her, both legs were
found to be badly burned. This was
the brave stork which had rescued her
children. The bird was removed to
the Rathaus, and the burgomaster
provided bed for it, and called in the
physician, who attended the wounds.
In the meantime the male stork ascer-
tanned her place of refuge, and paid
her daily visits to inquire for her con-
dition, and to bring reports, after his
own fashion, of the young. The school
children brought her food, the physi-
clan treated her every day, until she
recovered. Finally, one bright morn
ing, she flew away with her devoted
husband

You doubtless have heard of the little
boy who wrote u composition on salt
and said it was ''stuff that made things
taste bad if you did not put it on" Salt
is an absolute necessity. Once a king
in Mexico conquered his enemies be-
cause it was possible for him to prevent
their getting any salt. The people
yielded because they could not endure
life without salt. In Mexico when the
world was young, they had q goddess
who was known as the salt-giver. When
you use salt, remember to be grateful

II she pictured her neighbors on the slate.
book full OF problems in Long Division
They made her work out with perfect pre-
cision.
II boy was riotous on the stairs
He spent his recess in pit full OF bears
Oh, hard 1t was for the childrenl
Laughter and whispering; school desks scared
All had penalties just as hard.
Youthful opinions OF teachers in verse,
The sentence for these was rather worse.
In short, as you'll readily comprehend,
Their mischievous wills must break or bend
Oh, wasn't 1t hard for the childrenl
II you had lived in No Mans Land
Your manners would soon have been taken in
hand.
But though you're saved from the dolorous fate
OF being punished early and late,
It's just as well to follow the plan
or being always good as you can.
Though that's rather hard for the children.
Nora A. Smith, in Chicago Interior.
