No one with a furred tongue, a bad

To be beautiful, to become beautiful, or

MISPLACED ECONOMY

There Is certainly such a thing as an
exaggeration Of economy and a mis-
placement Of effort, as in the case of
the genius who advises making court
plaster at home out Of tightly stretched
black silk and gum arabic or the
one who gives us a long formula for
the compromising of a glue To mend
china, says the New York Post. An in
yestment OF dime around the corner
from anywhere procures a supply of
either commodity that will last a year.
Such thrift is like that Of the woman
who bought 5 cents worth of SUGAR of
lead to set the dye In some calico. She
used half and her economy would not
permit her to throw the rest away. In
stead she tucked 1t under the edge of a
carpet, where she thought II would be
safe, and forgot all about It. Later she
left home on a visit She had been
away only one day when, In thinking.
as women will, Of the impossible things
she could worry over she suddenly re-
memoered the poison, and at once
round II a very good and rational cause
ror anxiety. How easy for one of the
children to find it in one Of those pok-
ing moods which at any moment may
attack q child! 1t was at night that
the vexing thought came, and she was
sieepiess till morning arrived and with
II the opportunity to send a warning
dispatch. AS mere financial transac-
tion 1t was not profitable, for the dis
patch cost her forty cents. There was
the sleepless night to reckon, too.

Is the only reason known for his

through the streets of New York
Blanchard told his friends about a sist-

would not recognize him, her scapegoat

was a double life such as we read
about in novels. and when death came
to him at Oceanic, where he had gone
to get over the effects Of a long de-
bauch, the plot had developed to such
a point that it seemed 1t would re-

working against England at CONSTANT

lance with France, and during the last
year has been drawing Austria and
Germany to her support. This has been
the Russian method OF Furnishing Eng

When Austria was well punished
Russia again declared war against Tur.
key in 1877. Again the Holy Land was
the cause of the declaration. Christian
pilgrims were being prosecuted there
Germany and Austria remained neu-
trail, but at the close of the war Eng
land, under Lord Beaeonsheld, was in
the way of Russia's complete triumph.
The treaty which had been dictated al
the gates Of Constantinople was revised
by the congress Of Berlin. Russia lost
through infamous English intrigue
much that she had gained by war.

When the war was over, Russian
statesmen had only one idea. That
was to punish Austria for her ingrati-
tude. They encouraged Napoleon III.
to fight Italy's battle. They allowed
Prussia in 1866 to invade Austria, TO
take away from her the leadership OF
Germany, and rejoiced when Austria
lost two provinces.

RUSSIAN POLICY.

Christian Empire Is the controlling
force OF Russian diplomacy. Midway
In this century Russia attacked Turkey
In war for the recovery Of the places
made memorable by Jesus Christ in
Palestine, as well as for the occupation
OF Constantinople. She counted upon
Austrian support, since Russian troops
had succored the emperor in invading
Hungary and causing a revolution.
When France and England fought
against Russia in the Crimea, Austria
held aloof, and the cause Of the Turk
triumphed with the help of his allies.

Il LOWER AVERAGE.
The Failures in Business the Past Quar-

The Failures in Business the Past Quar-
ter the Lowest for Many Years.
New York, Oct 1.-Dun's Review of
Trade to morrow will say:
The failures during the third quarter
of 1897 were 2,903, with liabilities of
500, 943 1888, averaging lower than any
other quarter for twenty three years, and
the amount of defaulted liabilities are
the smallest of any quarter for five years.
The volume of Legitimate business con-
tinues larger than for any September
since 1892.
Evidences of reviving prosperity con
tinue, though prices of most manufac-
tured products advanced but moderately,
while the speculative markets all de-
clined with curious unaniniity, rs If the
large crops which are being made in
grain and cotton would not assure in
creased business to railways and warrant
better prices for stocks.
The stock market continues active,
though the average prices declined for
the week. The railway earnings are

The failures for the week were 1914
against 800 for the same week last year.
