Department Stores.

Department stores have advanced for
tunately in both the quality Of the goods
sold and the amount Of the sales. The
business Of several amounts annually to
from $1,000, 900 to $15,000,O00, and
this, roughly speaking, is as much mon
ey as many prosperous railway 1000
miles long handles in a twelvemonth.
One great store in the west carries a
rent account of almost if not quite $400,
900 a year. The mail order business OF
another amounts to 5000, 900 a year. A
number of houses send to the homes Of
their customers more than 30, 900 pack
ages in a single day, while perhaps as
many more are carried away in the
hands Of the shoppers In the busiest
days quite 100, 900 persons have visited
each Of the very largest stores Of New
York, Philadelphia Chicago and Brook
Ign. One firm spends more than $500,
900 year for advertising, and single
departments in several stores sell more

The elevation Of Mr.. Mckinley to tn

The elevation Of Mr.. Mckinley to the
presidency appeals to many hearts
favorably. Religious people say: 1--WE
have Christian man at the head of our
nation;" old soldiers nod significantly
and remark, "An old comrade sits at the
helm now" manufacturers and mer-
chants smile peacefully and say, "Protec-
ton will now come to the 'front.'
farmers look hopefully to the future, for
has not Mckinley farm and knows all
about drouth and low prices; western
men are triumphant and joyful, Tor we
have our own men to the 'front.' they say
foreigners look half suspiciously, seeing
protection in every sentence, although
his endorsement of the arbitration clause
pleased Sir Julian Paunceiorte. In the
meantime the new administration have
entered with vigor upon their duties and
hope is awakened again amongst the
people of the country and prayers are
going up from many closets and pulpits
in Washington for President Mckinley
and cabinet, trusting that the verse in
the Bible which he kissed upon his
inauguration may prove true. AM.c.

Mr.. James Jones, of the drug firm of
Jones & Son, Cowden, ILL.,, in speaking of
DR.. Kings New Discovery, says that last
winter his wife was attacked with La
Grippe, and her case grew so serious that
physicians at Cowden and Pana could
do nothing for her. 1t seemed to develop
into Hasty Consumption. Having DR..

Their Peculiar AversIons.

Most people have aversions Of some
kind or other, and some very strange
ones. The sight Of set Of false teeth
makes John L. Sullivan sick at the
stomach. Napoleon did not like to see a
white dog. Agassiz could not bear to
touch polished steel. The sight Of the
rising moon, when it was full, always
made Nine. de Stael i'll. Barefooted
children made Louis XIV nervous. Dean
Swift has said that Bolingbroke would
"act like one bereft should he cast his
eye on poor, harmless toad" Disraeli
had an attack of vertigo when he saw
anybody chewing gum. Dickens never
liked stiff shirt bosom, and Button
would fly into rage if any one put an
egg on the dining table at which he sat.

rnv,,,b Government waste pan.r.

Periodically precise statements Of
what is in stock are drawn up and sent
to all known dealers in waste paper,
and those Of them who wish to buy any
Of the lots offered to them return the
lists with the highest bids they are pre-
pared to make, and the highest bidder
becomes the purchaser and carries it
off. The annual sales bring in some
thing over 100000 year, which, &C.
cording to arrangements prevailing up
till 1841, would all have gone as "per-
quisites" into official pockets. These
were the good old times before the civ
il service event to the dogs" It was
found in very many cases that the off
cial who pocketed the proceeds Of waste
paper had the original ordering of the
goods.
The more he ordered the greater
would be the waste and the better for
his pocket, and of course there was a
dreadful howl when, in 1841, Mr.. Nc
Culloch proposed a reform. The reform
was indeed carried-on paper. But that,
too, for long time, proved to be little
better than waste paper. The officials
naturally entertained the strongest OBJ
lection to relinquishing their custom
airy perquisites and held ON to them un-
til few of them were prosecuted for
theft, or, to adopt the more polite
phraseology Of a treasury minute, for
"the systematic misrepresentation of
public property" and then for the first
time Mr.. McCulloch's reform became a
real one, and ever since all waste has
been properly collected and systematic
ally dealt with. Chambers Journal
