| used to think that the last place

money may be got by trying to get
there. DR.. Nansen received $1,000
for his telegram to the Daily

enterprising proprietors OF that
journal for his article. His book in
English is sold for 100000, and he
is to receive $4,000 for the Norwegian
edition. This totals up to 10000,
and to this may be added the French
and German editions, which will
probably bring in nearly the same
amount,-LabOuchere.

The Missing ArchdulSe

The Cantonal Court at St. Gall
has recently given judgment in the
matter OF the estate OF Johann
Orth," the Austrian Archduke who
so mysteriously disappeared some
years ago, and is supposed to have
persisted together with his wife, in
a wreck off the South American
coast. The action was brought by
the relatives of the wife in order to
recover the moneys, amounting to
the SUN OF l,000,000Ir.,. deposited by
the Archduke with the Bank of St,
Gall prior to his departure for
South America. Judgment was for
the plaintiffs, and the bank was
ordered to pay over all the moneys
in it's possession,

A tiger chair is unique. 1t is
made from man-eating tiger that
was terrorizing an Indian village.
The day it was killed it had carried
off white child ten years Of age.
The tiger skin covers the body Of
the armchair, the head and front
paws being SO arranged that from a
back view it appears the beast is
crouched in the chair ready to
spring over the back, the tail curled
underneath and brought up the
back of the chair adding to this
effect.

Animal Furniture.

Every one has seen mournful-
looking hunting trophies in the
form OF animals heads mounted in
monotonous fashion, but only of late
has the fashion arisen OF having
furniture made from the animals
killed in the hunt. This particular
branch OF taxidermy is thirty years
old and dates from the time when
ladies took it into their heads to
wear whole grouse and pheasants as
hats. In the SOS these birds could
not be supplied fast enough at $50
apiece.
Then came the tiger and bear
claws jewelry and gradually the
whole animal was introduced. One
of the earliest designs was a horses
hoof mounted 10 silver as desk
ornament or weight. At present
one English country house has a
rhinoceros horn as hat rack, the
same horn having nearly killed the
master of the house. In another
home a superb tiger is set up as a
dumb waiter, though he once nearly
tore to pieces the very man who now
makes his Bengal highness hold his
cigars. The Prince OF Wales shot a
big black bear in Russia and for
years it has meekly stood in the
smoking room at Marlborough house
holding in its paws server OF
glasses and bottles.
A lady who was very fond OF her
pet monkey could not bear to have
it mounted under glass case when
it died and as a result it crouches on
her mantle holding in either hand
tall candles with their shades. For
a time monkeys ragged. They were
sold to hang from the swings in
billiard rooms with the lamp in one
paw Parrots were also utilized in
the same manner.
A wealthy Australian gentleman
once placed an order for two curious
lamps. The first was parlor lamp
mounted on the back Of an emu, the
effect being striking. The other i;
for dining table. A magnificent
cold black swan rests on a mirror al
though on a lake and on its back il
the lamp.

a certainty that this broad liberty can
be established and maintained only on
the foundation of the equal rights Of
men.
This is the philosopher who takes
time to study the various phases of dis
content, who sees what the people are
doing and hears what they are saying.
To him reform means the protection of
the common rights of men In their di-
versihed pursuits. Il includes every fea-
ture and phase of Improvement which
our multiplying wants bring to the sur
face of affairs Every man and every
woman at work in any department of ef
fort to better the condition of one per-
son or class, or to relieve one particular
ailment in one or more of their fellow
humans, is a harvest hand in the wide
field of reform. Each separate move
ment, like a wheel in a clock, is a nee
essary part of the greater movement
which includes all and which requires all
and each that the general object may be
attained.

A Nav BUSINESS AssOCIATION.

NEW DUo1NLaoO hOcOOAh44UN'
The Cook County Business Mems AS
soclation is the name of a body formed a
few days ago in Chicago. The objects
proposed to be accomplished by the as.
sociatlon are published as follows:
/. To promote harmony and unity of
purpose among the business men of Cook
county through organization.
2. To elevate the standard Of trade
through exposure of the tricks and sharp
practices of the department stores.
8. TO protect the public against adul-
terations.
4. To foster education by suppression
of child labor.
5. To assist the trades and labor
unions in upholding their standard and
encouraging through training in man
ual and technical pursuits.
8. To aid the professions In maintain
ing and elevating their standards for the
public Welfare and the Improvement of
the practice in the arts and sciences.
Z. To resist unequal taxation.
s. To regulate the sale of merChan-
disc on the natural lines of separation
as required by hygienic and moral con-
siderations.
8. To enforce all statutes and Ordi-
nances that will protect the lives and the
health of the public against the monopO-
lies and the misrepresentation Of the
department stores
10. To initiate legislation designed to
improve the status of the business men
and to promote the candidacy of persons
irrevocahly pledged to these objects and
purposes.
This association is composed chiefly of
small traders and merchants whose oc-
equations are interfered with by the de-
partment stores which carry general
assortment of goods belonging to differ
ent classes. It is the same kind of re-
sistance, that is, it comes from the same
general cause, that we see in the trades
combination crOwding out competition.
John sells groceries, Peter sells shoes,
Paul dry goods, James clothing, and so
on through the list Of retailers, when
Matthew comes along and opens big
store in their midst, where he has one
department for shoes, one for clothing,
one for groceries, one for hardware, and
one for each of the great classes Of
goods, wares and merchandise, and the
trade of the small stores is crippled ac-
cordingIy. Hence this association and
others like it.
While this is natural, because it Is in
the line of self-defense, yet the move
ment will not succeed. There are in all
cases at least two parties to a sale-the
seller and the buyer, and while the seller
is in the business to make profit, the
buyer wants to save every cent he can.
If merchant can sell enough more at a
lower price to make larger profits, he
will do SO, and the people who buy will
defend him.
The small store in large cities will go
as did the shoemaker, the weaver and
the tailor. Where combination Is pos
sible, competition will cease.

A, case was recently decided In the
court of last resort in the State of New
York determining question Of vast i'm
portance to the people Of the whole coun-
try. A labor union had secured the dis
charge of a nOn-union workman and in
terfered to prevent his employment any
where else solely on the ground that he
did not belong to the union, and he
brought suit to recover damages on ac-
count of the loss Of employment and diff
ficulty in securing work at his trade
elsewhere The dispatches say the court
held that such interference was illegal,
that ii it were tolerated many honest
and competent men would be unable to
earn a living; that it was a restriction
upon personal liberties and repugnant to
the constitution. No man or associa-
tion of men could lawfully interfere with

THE PROPOSED POSTAL SAVINGS
BANKS,

BANKS.
Some criticism of the present pro-
posed legislation to establish postal saw
ings banks has been promised on the
ground that it Is in the interest Of banks
and not of depositors. This, the AdvO-
cate is inclined to think, is narrow
view of the subject We have read a good
deal OF what the Chicago Record has
been publishing along that line, and we
have not seen anything from that source
which will bear the construction put
upon it by the critics. Here is some
thing from that paper which answers the
charge without any apparent effort to
do so:
zone Of the principal reasons put forth
in opposition to the establishment OF
postal savings banks Is that the govern
ment ought not to interfere in any way
with the business Of private bankers
by taking for safe keeping deposits
which they might like to handle.
Opposed to the general principle laid
down by the opponents OF postal savings
another principle which the Record be-
lieves is more pertinent to the particular
subject under consideration. 1t Is that
private individuals ought not be allowed
to make profit from handling the small
savings of the poor. This principle Is
one that is recognized not only In most
civilized countries abroad, but also In
those parts of the United States where
wealth Is most abundant and where pro-
visions for the protection Of property OF
all kinds are most highly developed. In
the New England States and New York,
the only portion of this country at all ad-
eQuately supplied with savings bank fa-
cilities, bankers are not allowed, as in
Illinois, to regard the small savings OF
the poor as funds to be invested for their
own private enrichment. The savings
banks OF those States are mutual institu-
tiOns, managed by trustees who serve
without compensation and who derive
no profit from the lOaning of the funds

the tendency to speculate with the funds
and invest them in questionable securi-
ties because those pay high rates of in
terest might result in loss and hardship
to class that 1t should be especially
the object of society to protect.
IF we are not to have postal banks,
then the States of the West and South
should initiate the example of New Eng
land and New York and make provision
for mutual savings institutions for the
accommodation of small depositors. The
principle should be recognized in prac-
tice the country over as 1t Is in the ex-
treme Eastern States and in Europe,
that the small savings Of the poor should
hot be used for the pro1t Of those 10
whose care they may be intrusted. But
IL this principle Is to be carried out,
there will be much less reason why the
government should not itself directly
care for these small savings, for then
the undertaking Of this work would not
be held to be interference with the profit
making purpose of private bankers"
