AIphonse ISarr's Polite Revenge

Alphonse Karr, the humorist, owned
an estate in the southern part OF
France. His neghbor was an elderly
Italian count who owned a well-stock-
ed library. One day the author, who
had never met his neighbor, the count,
sent his servant with card request
ing the loan Of book. The count re-
piled in a polite note, saying, that lie
was sorry not to be able to oblige Mr..
Karr, but with him it was a matter CT
principle never to lend books outside
his house. At the same time he invit-
ed his neighbor to come to his house
at any time and his library would be
at his disposal all day. Karr availed
himself of the privilege and became
friendly with the count, who not long
afterwards. sent to his literary neigh
Dor to borrow lawn sprinkler. Karr
replied: II deeply regret the impossi-
bilHy Of obliging you with the loan OF
a sprinkler, but, rs matter Of prln-
clple, | could not possibly allow my
sprinkler to be used outside of my gar
den; but If you desire to use Ii on my

Interesting Testimony Brought Out by
the Legislative Committee.
! New York, Feb. 16.-The New York
vestigation of trusts by examining
Eeveral witnesses who were officers of
the American Sugar Refining company.
Among the witnesses examined was
John E. Searles, secretary and treas
Hrer of the company.
An effort was made to elicit from
lir. Searles his knowledge of the effect
Of the consolidation of the fifteen COM
panies into the American Sugar Re-
flning company upon the trade and
business of those sugar refining COM
panies which are not in the consolda-
ton. Mr.. Searles stated that he had no
knowledge of the affairs of companies
outside the American.
Senator Lexow changed his inquiries
to another direction and brought out
tie information that during the past
year the Greenpoint refinery, one in
Louisiana, the Continental in Boston
and the Decastro were closed and that
the purchase of the United States Re-
Ening company's plant in Camden was
in contemplation by the American Su-
gar Refining company.
well, what in the world prompts
you to contemplate the purchase of
the United States Sugar Refining COM
pany at Camden?' exclaimed Mr.. Lex
ow, when you don't use 60 per cent
Of your refineries now?"
I'VE may be able to utilize that prop
erty for the interest of the company"
was the calm reply.
Mr.. Searles admitted, however, that
whatever plant has been acquired has
been a competing plant
Senator Lexow quickly shifted his
position and questioned Mr.. Searles as
to the whereabouts of the certificate
books of the original company. To
the same question put in various guises
the reply was a disavowal of any
knowledge of the location of the books.
"Thcy have been lost sight Of" said
the witness. "They were obsolete and
Of no use." he inquiry showed that

100000 of capital stock, and they, to-
gether with all the minutes and rec
ords of the old trust are gone.
Mr.. Searles volunteered the informa-
ton that the sugar product in Cuba had
dwindled from 100000 tons two years
ago to 250,O00 tons last year, and also
that the price of foreign sugar was
controlled in the London market.
''Is the increase Of large corporations
disadvantage to the work1ngmep?"
was asked.
mo, sir" was the reply. "If we had
less legislation we would be far better
off. II you make laws that will invite
capital to this state instead OF driving
II away 1t would be an advantage. But
rs long as Investigations like this are
fomented it makes capital unsafe and
uncertain and makes it act on the de.
fensive, as though 1t were the enemy OF
the workingman."

National Peouiiarlties In buy,ng.

Talking of the sale OF jewellery, a
Frenchman says that as q purchaser
the American stands pre-eminently
first in favor. He has three frst-rate
qualities-he goes straight to what he
wants, he pays cash down, and he nev-
er bargains.
One day a leading jeweler had the
pleasure of selling necklace to an
American for six hundred thousand
francs for money down on the counter,
without being asked for the smallest
discount or rejuUtion-how much he
would give had he been asked, the Par
ieian tradesman does not say,
Next to the American comes the Rus
sian, who makes very large purchases,
but not quite in so reckless a manner;
then the Spaniard and then the Brit
isher, who, we should have thought,
would have been placed third. The
other nations suffer by comparison.
The German, no doubt, has not much
cash left after a series Of military bud
gets the Dutchman is too frugal, and
the Italian Is too much accustomed to
bargain, regarding discount of fifty
per cent. as in tho natural course OF
things at home.
But even the italian Is welcome in
comparison with the Frenchman from
the country. The provincial, even
when rolling in morey, will avoid the
great establishments and seek the
emall ones which c3nnot afford to send

geoualy herd bargains. and will go

The American without vanity, or the
Britisher who disikcs trouble, would
evidently do well to employ French

percentage to DO his barf aiming.

There is no doubt that all animals,
wild or tame, four-footed or with wings.
have a dsep-seated aversion to wcs
weather. Even water fowl will seek a
dry hiding-iiace when It rains.
Did you ever watch the actions OF
cattle before a big storm? II so, you
must have seen them grow more and
more uneasy as the clouds threatened.
You also saw them run zip and down
the field, as II seeking to escape some
impending danger. Finally, when the
storm comes. they draw closely togeth-
er, and, with lowered heads, present q
picture of despair.
Wher II rains the domestic animals
always keep indoors, or failing that,
they seek sheltered places and creep be-
meath the hedges and thickets-in short,
In any convenient place where they are
not entirely exposed to the downpour.
1t is the same with fowls. They dis

wild birds do their best to keep uut
OF the rain. They find shelter in many
ways. Some Of them build roof over
their nests, In which they keep more or

The Great Pyramid.

The latest lecture in the Twice
Five course, was given at the Pres
byterian Church last Tuesday even
ing, by A. V. Crawford. on the sub
ject Of the Great Pyramid, and
was illustrated by the use of sever
al charts prepared for the purpose.
The lee ure presented the pyra-
mid as monument in Egypt, but
not Of Egypt; as designed by some
inspired person and erected rs II
witness for the truth of revelation
against the time when mankind
shall have discredited everything
but scientific speculation concern
ing matter, and faith shall have
been lost, or replaced by the arrog-
ance Of man. IL was further sought
to be shown that the Pyramid EN-
bodies scientific truth beyond the
power of modern criticism, not
withstanding all the modern meth
DDS of Investigation and instru-
ments OF precision. 1t WAS claimed
that in the Pyramid is to be found
the standards Of linear, weight and
capacity measure and tnat through
the Pyramid the Anglo SAXON race
is to be identified with the ten
"lost tribes Of Israel" Aud finally
that there is embodied there the
history of the Church, from the
Deluge to the end Of the age, in.
cluding the past and the future,
and that these things are now
being revealed after these long
years Of silence, because the day is
close upon Us for the fulfillment Of
the purpose for which this monu-
ment,w WAS erected.
In short the argument is: That
the Great Pyramid is IN Egyp', but
not of Egypt, that it is II work Of
inspiration; that it will prove the
truth OF revelation; that it teaches
the identity of the "lOst trib 5"
with the Angl0-SaXOn; and that all

John R. McLean's
Great Newspaper.

Without a single exception, there
is beyond doubt no greater or more
popular newspaper in the United
States than the Cincinnati Enquirer
or more successful publisher than
its proprietor, Mr. John R. Mclean.
The old-timc prices for the Daily
Enquirer have been maintained, and
its circulation largely increased each
year; hard times and cheaper Jour-
mails failing to arrest its onward march
and high appreciation of the public
for its true worth and merit.
The Weekly Enquirer at beginning
of the campaign year was offered at
SO cents a year, and its circulation
increased by the addition of over
400, 900 new subscribers the most
substantial and coveted testimonial a
publisher could desire.
When asked for the secret of such
success, Mr.. Mclean frankly answers {:
The Enquirer has no opinions to force
upon its patrons, it simply prints the
facts and tells the truth that the reader
may form his own opinions. By
maintaining the price of the paper,
more news and greater variety can be
furnished, and every class of business
interests catered to, which a cheaper
journal cannot afford.
The very liberal support given the
Enquirer by the public at large, makes
it incumbent upon the management
to serve it faithfully with zeal and en-
terprise in minor matters as we'll as
those of greater magnitude.
