New York, Dec 3O--The market for dry
goods is in the unsatisfactory condition
which is always noted when inventories
are imminent or progressing. Buyers have
little time for operating. The demand for
cotton is generally small. WOODEN and
worsted goods are in generally better shape
The sales of extra print cloths rumored
early in the week were not so heavy as was
at first supposed, The. quotation of "a
cents for extras still prevails.

A PEEP INTO AERIoA.
Marco POlOs Account of the Natives and

Marco POlO's Account of the Natives aEai
the Animals.
The eastern coast of Africa was an
unknown region In Marco Polo's day,
and when he had Travelled 80 far to
the southern end Of Asia that he be-
gan to get gllmpses of Africa, he could
not believe that he heard reports from
the eastern side of that continent-of
Which he already knew something, as
1t formed the southern border of the
Mediterranean Sea. So he speaks OF
Madagascar (Which he calls Madeigas'
car and Zanzibar (Which he calls Gang
hibar) as though they were parts OF
India. IL we remember that Marco
was the first writer European or Asia
tic, to mention Madagascar by that
name, and almost the first to give the
world any information concerning that
unknown land, we may excuse the
fact that his geography is sometimes
mixed. But his descriptions Of the
people and the animals of eastern AZ
RIGA are pretty accurate, as may be
seen:
They are all black, their hair is as
black as pepper, and so frizzly that
even with water you can scarcely
straighten it. And their mouths are
so large, their noses so turned up, their
lips so thick, their eyes so big and
blood-shot, that they look like very
devils; they are in fact so hideously
ugly that the world has nothing to
show more horrible.
There are also lions that are black
and quite different from ours. And
their sheep are all exactly alike in col
or; the body all white and the head
black; no other kind Of sheep is found
there, you may rest assured. They
have also many CRATES. This Is a
beautiful creature, and | must give you
a description Of 1t. It's body is short
and somewhat sloped to the rear, for
its hind legs are short, while the fore
legs and the neck are both very long,
and thus its head stands about three
PAGES from the ground. The head is
small, and the animal is not at all mis-
chievous. Its color Is all red and white
in round spots, and 1t is really beau
tiful object. The women of this island
are the ugllest in the world, with their
great mouths and big eyes and thick
noses. The people live on rice and
flesh and milk and dates; and they
make wine of dates and of rice and Of
good spices and sugar. There is q
great deal of trade, and many mer-
chants and vessels go thither.-C'The
True Story of Marco Polo," by Noah
Brooks, in st. Nicholas.

witty and Good,


The second wife Of DR.. Edward
Hodges, long the organist Of Trinity
Church, New York, was Miss Moore,
of New York, a woman Of fine mind
and fascinating conversation. Like
many a devoted wife, she had to re-
member that before her marriage she
had laughed little at the man who
was to be her husband. She was at
once attracted by his appearance and
his dress, and yet her first comment
upon him was ruthless one. She had
met him at the gate of her cousin, DR..
Clement Moore.
"Who is he?" she asked going in.
"Why, Sarah" said her cousin, that
is the great Doctor Hodges"
Dear mel" returned she, II thought
It was an old Scotch peddler!
And when she was married to him,
she ventured to pun upon his profession
and called him her "old English ped
aler." Another title given him by her
ever-ready tongue was "the ineffable
Hodges" because she loved Hodges in
f" more than any other service he
ever used. Their marriage was one Of
the greatest happiness, for clever as
she was in the intellectual side of life,
her character shone brightest in the
daily walks of home. She was one of
those who are always giving without
stopping to think whether they re-
ceive, and her reward was the constant
tribute of daily love.

TOO MUCH REALISM.

Stage Soldiers stirred Up Deal Of
Trouble In Texas.
The leading man sat down with O
sigh that told how glad he was TO rest,
and gradually allowed himself to be
drawn into the experience meeting that
progressed in the smoker, says the De-
troit Free Press. I'VE were playing
down in south Texas" he said "and
doing a fine business in one-night
stands. Poor business with the kind
OF grub you get in that part of the
world would kill sensitive man. In
town Of about 1000 we had house
packed to the roof and the males made
as fine an aggregation Of wild western
ers as you ever clapped your eyes on.
The play required band of soldiers,
and we pressed in a lot of supers ev-
cry night. AT this place there was not
super engaged that did not want to
carry gun and not less than two
bowie knives. Among them was long,
lank fellow that wouldn't belong UNI
less he was captain, and wouldn't
abandon his side arms until he had
been interviewed by the judge and the
sheriff, and was assured by them as
well as me that he would be as thor
oughly protected as though he carried
all his weapons. Everything moved
smoothly until he came on with his
troops, yelling commands that could
be heard a mile and apparently bent on
taking charge of the whole show. Some
man in the gallery let out a laugh and.
you should have seen the captain Of the
supers. He first reached for his gun,
