Is there anything under the sun that
will fill the place Of credit? l believe
not. If there is, have never met with
it. Cash is the only available substi-
tute, and even that fails in many in
stances.
There are firms in New York that
will refuse to open an account for cash
with a man who has no credit. They
will have 10 business transactions with
any one who has not current credit
rating in this market. Yet those same
firms will not hesitate to open an &C
count with a man whom they find rela-
lively we'll rated.
have experienced that singular
thing-a wholesale firm that refused to
sell goods for cash to a merchant who
had no credit rating. Reference showed
that he always paid cash and neither
sought nor received credit. The firm in
question fused to sell to him. 1t had
no assurance of his soundness, no other
testimony Of his disposition to play fair
other than that he paid as he went, so
it positively refused to do business
with him. He asked no accommodation
at its hands He wanted goods and
would pay on the spot, yet it posi-
lively refused to place his name upon
its books in any capacity whatever.
This only goes to show that no rec
ord" is bad record. The man who is
not rated good is bad Some men will
persist In judging every man a rogue
until he is proved honest.
Be careful of your credit. You can
have no more precious possession than
a good name, nor more valuable capital
than good credit rating. The practice
of having your check received by your
creditor the day it is due instead of
sending it on that day is a trifing
thing, yet it will not go unnoticed.
Trifies like this supplement your rating
in dollars and.cents and help to stiffen
it. Make no promises you cannot keep,
and whether prompt or slow be as good
as your word Dry Goods Chronicle.

PLAGUED BY PIRATES.
The United States Government to Be
Asked to Protect American Shipping.

The United States Government to Be
Asked to Protect American Shipping.
A prominent shipping man says that
the United States government will
be requested to station one of the cruis-
ers of the Mediterranean squadron near
the coast of Marocco to protect vessels
carrying cargoes from American ports
from Arabian pirates, who have again
become very active and have recently
plundered vessel bound from Phila-
delphia to Mediterranean ports.
The pirates are mountaineers who
live in caves back in the hills and come
forth only when a vessel approaches
the coast. Then they swarm out to her
in small boats, murder the Grew and
steal the cargo 1t makes no difference
to them of what the cargo consists If
it is something for which they have no
use themselves, they sell it cheaply and
pocket the proceeds
Occasionally they scuttle or burn a
ship, but they more generally send her
adrift to become wreck on the reefs.
When they are pursued, they scatter
among the hills, where it is impossible
for troops to follow them. They are as
bloodthirsty set Of sooundrels as ever
sailed under the black flag and are des-
perate fighters. 1t is thought that one
of the new cruisers will have an oppor-
tunity to try her long range guns on
them. -Philadelphi Press

The last Mohammodan aggression
against Abyssinia took place in 1876,
when $500 Egyptian troops attempted
without previous declaration Of war to
overrun the province of Tigre in order
to bring Abyssinia into subsection to
the Egyptian state. Professor Reinisch
was at the time on a journey to Abys-
sinia and witnessed the patriotic spirit
which inspired the people. On the self
same day that the Egyptian troops be-
gan to land at Massaua swift messen-
gers carried the news thence into the
interior. From hill to hill blazed the
far seen beacon fires, and warcries rang
throughout the provinces of the king
dom. On the following day the centers
of population already resembled mill
tary camps. Priests and monks were
everywhere preaching holy war for
the defense Of the cross and the father
land Without military summons of re-
cruiting of volunteers all the ablebodied
men of their own accord got ready their
guns, swords and lances. Women and
slaves looked to the supply of provi-
sions, and within a week 20, 900 we'll
equipped men turned out from the
province Of Hamasen alone to occupy
the mountain pass toward Tigre before
the Egyptian troops had. left Massaua
The outcome of the war, SO fatal to
Egypt, is well known. 1t gave the i'm
mediate impulse to the events which
finally led to the occupation of Egypt
nv Great Rritain
AS regards the probable destination
of Abyssinia, Professor Reinisch gave
it as his opinion that-at least within
measurable time-it will certainly
not share the fate of the Egyptians.
They have been for centuries a nation
of slaves; the Abyssinians a race of
freeman. The conquest of the country
by nation capable of bearing the great
expense necessary is, of course, posi-
bic, but it may be safely said that it is
much lighter task to conquer Abys-
sinia than to govern it afterward. For,
III spite Of the fertility Of certain prov
inces, it is today a poor country, hav-
ing been exhausted by its wars To
bring back its prosperity the blessings
of secured and lasting peace are
urgently needed. Geographical Jour

tons than the fellow next lowest in order.
We Brunswickians have had our feelings
hurt powerful ever since the encamp-
ment closed. Our boys beat the crack
crew of the visiting warship, and the com
andar got mad and sat down to make a
long report which was anything but fiat
tering to our boys. He nearly called them
scrubs" and instead of advising them to
practice diligently on the delightful old
tub which Uncle Sam graciously donated
for the purpose, he recommends the craft
to be presented to the boys who evidently
don't need it, as they are nearly perfect,
according to his report. Jealousy? Of
course, because his crew couldn't row as
we'll as our "clerks and young men who
would not come up to the standard le-
quired," but who could nevertheless. pull
about mi lie ahead of crew which did
come up to the standard required. Then
along came couple more fussy little gold
laced men UNLIMITED, these mem and be-
cause all the boats in the harbor didn't
tootle and ring bells and wave fags,an be-
cause the officer at quarantine understood
his business little better than the man
who came to pry into it, we have another
lot OF literature thrown at US, and are told
things about our town which were news
items to the widest awake citizens. AS
prosperity spoils some natures, SO does a
little authority spoil others. Their ma
lures demand a certain amount of saIa-
aiming and hat dot1ing. Failing to secure
this, the precious incense of which they
are so jealous, the result is generally just
what our town has received at the hands
OF the worthy gentlemen referred to.

Double Action Collins.

The British steamer Niger arrived in
Liverpool recently from the island of
Fernando Pc, on the west coast of
Africa, where is situated one of the
Spanish penal stations.
She left Fernando Pc on July 10, at
which time she reports that the Cuban
and Philippine exiles were dying so
rapidly that collins could not be OBJ
tanned in which to bury them.
The authorities supplied some, the
bottoms of which opened ON hinges. In
these the bodies would be placed and
lowered into the earth. Then, by a
manipulation of the ropes, the coffin
would be raised, the weight of the body
causing the bottom to open and the
body to drop to the bottom of the grave.
Then the coffin would be hauled out to
be used again when the occasion arose.

New Fireproof Enamel.

A wonderful discovery Of new fire.
proof enamel, in comparison with which
asbestos would be classed as a combusti-
BILE, has been made by Mrs. Francis
Shaw of Chicago. In few weeks the
discovery and the results of the tests of
chemists are to be announced. Mrs.
Shaw's experiments were carried on in
the basement of boarding house.
Two small frame houses have been
seated with the new enamel, and as
soon as the chief of the fire department
returns from his vacation test will be
made to ascertain whether the buildings
are fireproof. The enamel looks like

of the Swedish nation, can drink his
wine from American silver and gold
with the knowledge that he has the
we'll wishes of his former subjects now
living in this country, who long to see
him international arbitrator.
The cup, which is of Gorham make,
has been finished and is beauty. Vol
untary subscriptions from all parts of
the land have paid for it. 1t is a simple
tribute to a ruler who is wise, humane
and good to his subjects. Minister Fer
guson will make the presentation
speech, and real Swedish songs from
Swedish-American lips will show that
expatriation has not lessened the tune

the northland country.

SEA LION EATS A DOG.
Small Pug Made but MouthfuI For the
Big Beast.


Big Beast.
A sea lion devoured pet pug dog at
Glen Island, N. Y, recently, to the
great dismay of the dogs owner. 1t all
happened so quickly that those who
saw the tragedy could scarcely realize
that the canines career had been ter
minated.
The sea lions are kept in an elliptical
shaped lake near the bridge leading to
the big ZOO Around the lake is
donkey drive, and back of this is a rail
fence to keep the public from the drive.
At the edge of the water is wire fence
to prevent the lions from escaping.
About the hour of noon 13 of the
sea lions were basking in the sun on a
raft at the south side of the pond. 1t
was near feeding time and they We're

to open his mouth. There was a squeaI

A COG THAT EATS ICE.
Queer Habit Acquired by a Restaurateur's
PrecOciOus Pup.

PrecOciOus Pup.
One Of the best known all night res
taurants in New York always has one
or more dogs around, especially in the
hours between and Z in the morning.
Patrons at those hours are apt to be
kindly disposed to the canine attaches,
and there is more or less frolicking. Re-
Gently plain brindle and white pup
about 6 months old was added to this
pack, and now it attracts more notice
than any of its fellows in the restaurant
kennel. 1t is known as the "ice eating
dog"
Every morning when the ice wagons
roll up in front of the restaurant and
unload the days supply of huge cakes
of ice that pup takes it's place at the
door and watches proceedings with an
eye to business. When a cake of ice be-
comes Clipped, the brindle pup lights
on the broken pieces and devours them
with as much relish as the ordinary
dog does raw meat or chicken bones. 1t
does not finish its meal until the opera
ton Of unloading ice mas been complet-
ed, and if a piece is swept off into the
roadway the ice eating dog chases it and
retrieves it in spite of cabs and cable
cars.
Pat, the night manager of the restau-
rant, says that when the brindle pup
first displayed this appetite for ice it
took a big chunk back in one corner and
hid it, after the fashion Of dogs when
dealing with particularly choice bone.
When the pup returned to the hiding
place later, of course there was moth
ing but wet spot. Then the pup set up
howl that could not be quieted until
one of the walters, who had studied the
dogs habits, gave it another chunk of
ice.

Carriers Will Make Two Trips Per Month

The postofice department at Wash
ington recently received from Mr.. CouI-
ter, deputy postmaster general for
Canada, proposal for the carrying of
mails between Dyea, Dawson City and
Circle City, which was accepted by the
department, and the Canadian postoffice
was so notified. The offer of the Cana
dian government is to establish a post
office at Dawson City, appoint a post
master, and make it an international
exchange office. They then agree to
carry all the mails Of the United States,
one trip a month, from Dawson City to
Dyea, the United States agreeing in re-
turn to carry all the Canada mails from
Victoria, B. G., to Dyea. The postoffioe
department. is to pay the Canadian post
office the sum which it asked from
Canada if the United States was to
provide for the transportation of the
mails.
This is regarded as an exceptionally
fair proposal. 1t will give the United

Victoria Abandons the Position.

Queen Victoria now announces her
intention to abandon the practice Of
position driving altogether, a piotur
esque custom which will be regretted
greatly. She is becoming more and
more nervous with increasing age, and
save on ceremonial occasions of late has
insisted on her carriage being drawn by
pair of horses driven from the box by
her coachman, Harvey, who now, for
the first time, has footman seated by
his side. The queen is Of the opinion
that the carriage is under better con-
troll when driven from box. Besides
it is far easier for her majesty to COM
municate her orders to him than to the
positions, who can be reached only by
causing one Of the equerries cantering
beside her carriage wheel to gallop for
ward abreast of the leaders. This, Of
course, entails loss Of time, which
sometimes is inconvenient and occa-
sionally is even dangerous. Chicago

Cardinal Vaughan at Lambeth.

To those who recall the antipopery
riots in England in the early part of
Queen Victoria's reign, the news that
Cardinal Vaughan has recently been
dining and attending evening receptions
at Lambeth palace as the guest of the
archbishop of Canterbury will appear
almost incredible. And yet such is the
case, the new primate of the state
church of England displaying the same
good sense and breadth of view as the
late Dean Stanley of Westminster, at
whose house, within the precincts Of
the Abbey of Westminster, the venera-
BILE Cardinal Newman was an always
welcome guest. Archbishop Temple,
while being the first Of the English pri-
mates since the days of the Reformation
to introduce a total abstinence regime
at Lambeth palace, hitherto famous for
the excellence of it's wines, may be said
to have made amends for his strictness
in the matter of drink by establishing
in his metropolitan palace on the
Thames smoking room for those Of
his guests addicted to the social weed.
