Dry Goods.

New York, Nov. 12-Ihere have been no further changes in the dry goods market, ithe general tone of the market remaining decidedly dull with very few buyers present. to consummate store trading. Fall orders are also scanty. and the general trend is toward a continual tion of quietude which has prevailed for the last few weeks. In woolen and worst ed goods there is no change. Suppls mentary buying for spring demands is very light and there is little immediate encouragement in the market as it stands today. Tn staple cottons the mar ket continues dull, with the demand for both brown and bleaclied goods very small, even alt the lower prices recently made by jobbers for leading lines of bleached cottons. Agents as yet have made no change to correspond with thesa new prices. and in many eases are in position to withstand the pressure brought about by this means Print cloths are quiet att 5-1Gc. In prints the market is still very dull.

Jules StmOn's MOdeatv.

BY his power of intellect and nobility
OF soul the late Jules Simon, the French
statesman and philanthropist, raised
himself to high station, yet he re.
manned to the close of his life sim.
pie, modest man. This is what his
friend, Baron Pierre de Coubertin,
writes of him in the Review of Re
views:
Jules Simon was as modest as he was
able. He had often expressed wish
that there might not be too much lau.
dation around his tomb. He had often
mentioned a desire to be told when
death was approaching. A friend full
filed this sad duty. The philosopher
showed no signs of emotion or fright
on hearing the terrible news.
As he could speak no longer, he mo
toned Tor pencil and a sheet Of pa
per, and with q steady hand wrote his
own epitaph:
JULES SIMON. 1S14-1So6.
Dieu, Patrie, Liberte.
His name. the year of his birth and
the year Of his death and the beauti-
ful motto that had commanded and
ruled his whole life: God, CountrJs
Liberty!

Joke by Holmes.

At the time Of the Peace Jubilee,
DR.. C. b. Porter, of Boston, returned
to his Office one day, and found the
slate in the hall covered with Latin
words and signed o. w. Holmes. He
Immediately got down his dictionary,
and with much effort discovered that
he had been to the Peace Jubilee, had
soiled his boots SO thoroughly with dirt
that he did not like to go down town in
such a plight, and had stopped and
asked Mr.. Porter's servant for foot
brush that he might clean up his boots:
and he had dignified this rather mental
performance by writing it all out in
Latin and leaving 1t on the slate.

Uses for the Horse.

So, after all, the wheel isn't going to
render the horse useless. The horse has
a vital advantage over the bicycle. We
can't eat the latter
A Western man Is canning nice, juicy
Indian ponies, each one making six
cases Of ~ one-pound cans. These
cute ponies cost all the way from 81 so
to $500 each.
How nice. This pony meat may be-
come one Of the stable articles Of food,
but 1t gives one the nightmare to think
Of It. It's enough to make a vegetarian
Of one.
A party near Portland, Ore, IL put
ting up quite an extensive plant for
the purpose Of grinding these nice
horses into some fine substance to be
used as fertilizer. u
So, we see, that both AZ food and 4
fertilizer the horse has the long end Of
the string. You couldn't eat a bicycle
any more than you could a professional
boarding house steak. It Is equally as
great a failure as q fertilizer. In these
two respects, at least, It Is no competi-
tor Of the horse; 1t Is completely out
classed. Hence, the kind-hearted per-
sons who were afraid the overloaded,
underfed, bruised and beaten horse
would become useless may dry their
tears. He with remain, but not because
he is good for food or a. fertilizer.
He will be loved because he Is q kind
and noble and beautiful animal, for
whom the bicycle will prepare smooth,
level highways, where he will happily
exemplify the good and gracious pur-
pose for which he was intended.-L. A.

Microbes Devour Sewage

sists of four tanks, fourth Of the sew
age passing into each. Light and air
are excluded from the tanks; putrefac-
ton and decomposition are rapidly set
up; the microbes multiply and the solid
portions Of the sewage are consumed
and the outflow from the tanks Is MOTH
ing but slightly col0red water, which,
after passing through filters. loses all
color aud taste. No chemical Is used,
and no attention to the tanks OF any
sort is needed. Each filter bed auto
matically cleanses itself by being out of

The man who has lived only for him

There can be no true and abiding
comfort and peace that is not rooted

The man who has never used his eyes
to consider the mercies Of God, has used
them to small purpose.
Turning mad dog loose is a tritiins
