They Do Not Mind the Pennies.

Experience has made the men of the
fruit stands overcautious in handling
coin above the size of 10 cent piece.
The larger pieces they will test upon the
pavement or sink their teeth into in &,
tentative fashion. 1t is to be noted,
however, that whenever customer
makes penny purchase they pocket his
change without scanning it-almost
hastily indeed. There is deep reason in
this procedure.
For one thing, nobody counterfeits
the cent piece; it is too cheap. For an
other thing, the fruit dealer knows that
no coin of smaller denomination is pass
ing into his hands. For third thing,
and this is the most important, there is
always chance that the customer is
deceived himself and is handing over a
nickel, dime or one of the minor gold
pieces, under the impression that he is
paying but a penny. If he looks satisfied
and starts to 90 away, he is not likely
to be called back to get the change Oc-
casionally some such involuntary wind
fall comes the way of the fruit man.

A YEARLY PILGRIMAGE.

The Bascoms and the Spot That Was All
Their Own.
1t was the day for the annual jour
ney of the Bascoms. AT daylight they
started from their Harlem fat-father,
mother, two SONS and three daughters
carrying with them Il complete camp
ing outfit. After crossing the river to
Long Island City they rode 93 miles in
the train. Then they hired a farmers
wagon, which took them 10 miles far
ther into the interior of the island. The
road ended here. So the Bascoms con-
tinued their journey over hills and
through swamps on foot till night came,
when they put up their tents, crept in
to them and slept. Next morning the
journey was continued. At noon the
party reached the top of hill and Bas-
com uttered IA cry of Joy
II recognize that tree,' he cried.
"We must be in sight of it.
Lifting lis tieldglasses to his eyes,
he leveled them at the great stretch Of
swamp which began at the bottom of
the hill.
"Alas!' he exclaimed, dropping the
glasses owe can't see it, Rain has fall
ell, and it is covered with water. We
must wait till tomorrow.
They camped on the hill till next
morning. At sunrise Bascom again
brought his glasses to bear on the
swamp. This time he was rewarded.
81 see it!' he shouted. "The sheet l
hung on the pole last year is waving
just above the water. Look, wife!
Look, children! There is our corner lot.
The pole is just in the middle of it,"
There were screams of pleasure, and
each took a turn at the glasses Then
Bascom turned to his family and said,
in tone that quivered with emotion:
81 bought that suburban corner lot for
my little ones. l may never enjoy it,
but one day you may have your home
here-when the water goes away or
when a hill grows up. Then think of
me-"
Silently, with full hearts, the party
started back for the Harlem hat.-New

Extracts From the Picking Gazette.

Imperial orders, when printed in the
Peking Gazette, are peremptory; there
is no ambiguity about them. An article
in Longman's Magazine presents certain
extracts from the Peking Gazette, and
one shows how rife is superstition in
China:

on his present rank. The magistrate D.
is simply an idiot. Let him take charge

the descent to the earth from the clouds

sudden stoppage of the floods in nine

dered to compose a suitable aphorism
for engraving on gorgeous tablet. The
viceroy will proceed in full uniform,
followed by the whole official body, to
hang this tablet in the Moth Eyebrows

that we are not indisposed to requite
his services When the eclipse of the
moon takes place tomorrow, let the
proper authorities set up the usual howls
and save the moon in due legal form.

1t was foolish for Willie to care be-
cause his 4-yearold sister sate this, but
he felt just like losing his temper, and
SO he made a naughty speech.

bad enough to stay here all day, with

you'd run off and let me alone.
Nettie smoothcd down a little wrin-

"Well, Twill. I shan't stay where folks

You would have laughed if you could
have seen her turn about when she got
to the door and add, with queer little
assumption of dignity:
eff anything happens to me, Willie
Rowland, and I go killed, shall just
tell mother you're to blame because
you let me-
She was such funny little girl,
with such funny ways that Willie al
most felt good natured to see her, but
he had so much bad i'll his heart that all
the right feelings We're choked back,
and he let her pass out of the room
without saying one word more.
Presently he heard her laughing and
chatting with Norah in the kitchen,
and then he lay down upon the sofa
and began to think how abused he was

And Willie tossed about frctfully,
and then grow quiet and listened to the
drowsy hum of insects in any but a
pleasant mood.
You see, Mrs. Rowland's only sister
had been west two years and was now
coming back for her health, so Mrs
Rowland drove to the city, six miles, to
meet her, and Willie had to give up an
expected pleasure and "stay at home

Our rs are just as strong as
they were fifty years ago, when
we have cause to use them.
But we have less and less cause
to praise ourselves, since others
do the praising, and we are
more than willing for you to see
us through other eyes. This
is how we look to S. F. Boyce,

believe Ayers Sarsaparilla to
be the best blood purifier, that
has been introduced to the gen
eral public" This, from a
man who has sold thousands of
dozens of Ayers Sarsaparilla,
is" strong testimony. But it
only echoes popular sentiment
