The English Dislike of Commerce.

We believe that the English, who are
In continental opinion nation Of shop
keepers, are not by instinct or by aspira-
ton a trading people at all, or even an
industrial one. They are seafaring
people by tendency, and as the sea pro-
duces nothing they are compelled to
trade, and circumstances have driven
them into the industrial life, but their
proclivity is toward struggle Of any
kind, and not, except as an incident III
that struggle. toward the making OF
money. 1t was quite late in their his
tory that they recognized trading as
their vocation, and much later still that
they surrendered the notion that to be
a trader, whether merchant or manufac-
turer or dealer in money, was to be
comparatively base person. Till with
in the last few years all historians
thought economics rather unworthy
subjects of their pens, and the social
distinctions drawn against industry
were Of the most CALLING character. In.
deed, they have not disappeared yet, the
contempt which was once felt for the
merchant and the banker being still en-
tertained for the distributor, though he
often combines both functions. Tho
great industrial is still hardly reckoned
on par with the great agriculturist,
and the shopkeeper of any kind is still
placed far below any sort of professional.
Money, it is true, is now almost the
only source of irresponsible power, and
those who possess it begin, like the
powerful in all countries and ages, to
be highly regarded, but the grandson OF
Tottenham Court road peer would
much rather his peerage had been ac-
quired in battle or by chicane than out
of shop, however large. Even the cap
tains of industry, who are like the old
barons in many respects, are not thought
of as quite their equals, and the greatest
of railway builders, say the late Mr..
Brassey, is not placed on the level of q
great agriculturist, say the late Mr..
Coke of Norfolk. The state has honored
both, but the popular sentiment, which,
and not the state, settles what Greeks
are like, condones, rather than delights
In, the action of the state. The difference
is disappearing, but it dies hard. Lon.
don Spectator.

STARTLED BY AN OWL.
It Sets the Wisdom Of Learned Men at
Naught.

y
Naught.
In one of the many glass cases In the
Smithsonian institution at Washington is
stuffed owl. This particular owl Is the
one, in the words of the late President
Hayes, "that Jared the Washington monu-
ment," and therein lies the story.
During Centennial year congress re-
solved to provide the necessary funds for
the completion of the monument, which
up to that time had been worked at only
while the several smaller appropriations
lasted. 1t was discovered, however, that
the original foundation was likely to prove
incapable of sustaining the enormous
weight Of marble necessary for carrying
the shaft $50 feet above terra frma.
new foundation was therefore needed, and
architects thought solid concrete bed 100
feet square and nearly IA feet in thickness
would accomplish the strengthening de-
sired.
During the operation Of replacing the old
foundation it was considered expedient to
provide means for noting carefully the
slightest vibration of the walls, lest the
monument might be in danger of collaps-
ing Accordingly heavy weight was
suspended by stout thread from the apex
to pan of thick strip located in the base,
SO that no chance drafts of air would be
likely to sway the weight. An ingenious
contrivance was so attached to the weight
that the slightest vibration OF the shaft
would be faithfully recorded, and its inse-
curity would at once be an established fact
One morning few months after these
careful precautions had been taken there
was a great commotion among the work
men. A complete record of numerous per-
turbations and tremblings had been writ
ten on the index, showing conclusively
that the mammoth obelisk had Jared,
swayed and settled during the night.
Scientific heads were obviously shaken.
After much persuasion one of the men
finally consented to go to the top and ex-
anime into the cause. The astonishing re-
port came into the midst of the anxious
throng below that an owl in seeking shell
ter in the lofty tower had somehow man
aged TO catch its wings in the thread and
was still hanging there, suspended to the
| interior of the monument, and the innu
merable flappings and struggles of his owl
| ship had all been recorded by the index as
testimony against the stability of plumb
laid marble blocks and solid concrete

THE PATENT MEDICINE MAN.
He Waited Long For Results, and They
Came With Rush.

Game With Rush.
"It was more than 90 years ago that
decided the thing was ready to be put
on the market, said the inventor of u
compound that has now passed out of
the category of patent medicines and
become well introduced. 1.-THE question
that bothered me WAS how to get the
stuff before the people and make them
personally acquainted with its qualities,
so that | might find out whether
my own faith and confidence in the
article were justified. But how was to
get it into peoples hands? That was
the question that l had to answer.
l went to the wholesale druggists, and
they said it would be useless to put it
on their shelves, as nobody would buy
it. l sent it to doctors, but that did very
little toward getting the article into the
hands of the people. I gave it away at
fairs, and the result was that a small
portion Of the people there got nearly
all of the stuff, while the others went
without any. Plainly that would not
do. But / didn't know yet what would
do.
"After awhile it occurred to me that
I would start man in buggy driving
in certain direction. He was to dis
tribute the stuff to everybody he met on
the road, and in that way the stuff
would finally get into the hands of the
| people. / was going to have relays
enough to stretch line across the
country and start man from the west
to come east through the territory the
other man could not reach. Twas going
to send the stuff on ahead, so that at
different points on the road the man
would be supplied with enough to give
away.
1.-THE fellow started ON his long trip
and distributed thousands Of packages
of the stuff. Other men started in differ
ent directions, and there were only q
few thinly populated and remote corners
of the country that could not have some
personal experience Of my invention.
The men finished their trips and wait
ed. But no response came. The people
whom / had expected to answer with a
cry for what had given them remained
mute. A year passed, and every cent OF
available capital had gone into the
scheme. Thousands of dollars had gone,
and evidently no more had been done
toward creating demand than il the
stuff had been locked in closet and
left there. strained hard, but 1 never
could hear the voice of the public call
ing for my invention. The months were
miserable with suspense and despair un
til suddenly the public. to speak meta
phorically, roared at me. The rush'hat
started in a way could never under
stand. New York Sun.
