SHORT NEWS STORIES.
Eisht Little Marks In His Watch-Ths
Queens Gold epoon-Ths Miss.
ing Gentleman From Ohio.

"What are all these funny little
marks in your watch, Cousin Charley?'
asked the bright little girl who sat in
the young mans lap playing with his
gold timepiece.
"Eh? Let me see," said the young
man, taking the watch from her and
blushing.
The little girls father looked al
Cousin Charley and winked. "Let me
see, too" be said.
Inside the back cover Of the watch
were several little, shiny spiral marks
that looked as though the gold had been
rubbed hard.
Eight times, eh?'' said the little
girls father. "Been hung up quite reg
ularly, hasn't it;'
"What do you mean?" asked the
puzzled little girl.
"Seem to have been there yourself, y

"Overcoat time, l sce," his uncle
said, nodding understandingly.
Now. the fact of the matter was this:
Inside the back cover of the watch were
eight little round marks made by acid.
They were made by pawnbrokers to test
the quality of the gold when the watch
was presented for loan The pawn
broker dipped the frazzled end Of a
match in acid and scrubbed at place
in the gold If the acid made 10 impress
sion, the gold was all right and he
made the lean. If the metal bad bub-
bled and frothed slightly where the acid
touched it, the case was not gold and
the loan was refused. 49, Kansas City

A LITTLE SUFFERER

Face, Hands and Arms Covered With
Scrofulous Humors How a Cure
Was Effected.
"When five years old my little boy had
scrofula on his face, hands and arms. 1t
was worst on his chin, although the sores
on his checks and hands We're very bad.
Ii appeared in tho form of rcd pimples
which would tester, break open and run
and then scab over. After disappearing
they would break out again. They caused
intense itching and the little sufferer had
to be watched continually to keep him
from scratching the sores. We became
greatly alarmed at his condition. NY
Wife's mother had had scrofula and the
only medicine which had helpd her was
Hoods Sarsaparilla. We decided to give
it to our boy and VIC noted an improve
ment in his case very soon. After giving
him four bottles OF Hoods Sarsaparilla
the humor had all been driven out of his
blood and it has never since returned"

Another Destructive Fire.

On Tuesday evening between six
and seven O'Clock Candy Balder
ston's barn was discovered to be on
fire. Mr.. Balderston's place is
about one mile from Colora.
Eighteen milk cows, two calves,
one horse and two mules that were
tied in the stables persisted in the
flames, so rapidly did they spread
through the barn and envelop
everything that it was impossible
to release the stock, Except two
horses, one of which was gotten out
by Mrs. Balderston and the other
by a boy. Seven tons of hay, ten
tons of straw, one wagon, cart,
horsepower and nearly all the
harness and farm utensils in the
building were burned.
There was an insurance on the
stock, barn and contents in the
Farmers and Mechanics Company
of this county of $4,000, cash value
$3.50. The loss is estimated at
about $4,000.
The origin of the fire appears to
be a mystery. The boy went up
in the NOW about half an hour be-
fore and threw hay down to feed
the stock, and while the feeding
was being done no sign of fire was
discovered, and when it broke out
soon afterwards the whole building
was enveloped in flames in few
minutes. The fire originated in
the upper part of the barn, and
when the doors were thrown open
in the basement, the draft rushed
down through the tunnels and
stairways, sucking the flames into
the basement where the stock was
battered making it impossible to
get it out.
Mr.. Balderston was absent from
home at the time of the fire, being
engaged in business in Philadel-
phia with the optical firm of
Williams, Brown & Earle.

Accidentally Shot.

Frederick Brown, the 1S-year-old
son of George H. Brown, Noting
ham, was accidentally shot and
killed last Sunday morning while
on a visit to Joseph Pierson, his
uncle, near Kennett Square.
Young Brown and Charles Broom
ell of Wilmington, were in room
of the farm house and Norman
Webster, a colored boy from Lin
coin, employed by Mr.. Pierson,
entered. A gun took his attention
and he began handling it. While
he was examining the gun it went
off, the load striking close to
Browns left shoulder and seyering
an artery. He fell to the floor and
soon died from the loss of blood.
Broomell, who had been standing
close to Brown, was struck in the
back of the head by several grains
of shot.-Oxford Press.

and the larger the quantity handled the
greater their profits. The banks furnish
the money to drive on the business and
the greater the volume of business the
larger their interest dividens swell. The
Drawn and brain that produce feel the
strain growing harder as the price falls
for the products of their industry.
The very scarcity of food products in
Europe coupled with the apprehensons
of war has caused An abnormal price in
grain but all other products are low,
especially textiles, with the price tending
downwards. Factories that we're opened
are shutting up. The stock of goods has
got ahead of demand. The advanced
price in food curtails the ability to pur-
chase other lines of goods and the price
falls.
The simple philosophy of it all is that
the amount of money in circulation is
inadequate to balance the quantity Of
produce on the market The quantity Of
money in circulation and the quantity of
goods on the market are reciprocal. One
is exchanged for the other. If the guam
tity of goods is small and money plenty
prices are high and the producer enjoys
good times. If the quantity of money in
circulation is small in comparison to the
amount of goods, prices must be low and
times hard for the nroducerc

The Philosophy of Price.

Imports are only half last year, when
they were swelled by anticipation of the
duty, and even comparing with other
years the merchandise imports of
SIS, 923,95S for April, 1898, are about
S., 900, 900, 900 below the average. Ex-
ports are, on the other hand fully
SIS, 900, 900 above the average, or over
81 900, 900, day. The result is all excess
of exports of $43, 500, So2."
The above is the statement of trade
journal in its current business notes of
exports and imports. The facts are simply
stated without any attempt 10 give the
cause of this reversal of former trade
statistics.
The inquiring reader of current events
is interested in knowing the cause of this
change i'll the aggregate of imports and
exports of this country The great scar
city of grain i'll European states is par
TALLY the cause of our immense exports
If trade were normal this large export
trade would induce corresponding in
crease in imports, but we fud this is not
the case. A falling off from former years
is shown. The imports should equal
former years at least, leaving out the III
creased demand which it were natural
to look for to be created by the steady
increase in population. And so we must
search for some abnormal cause to
account for so unnatural result.
The cause is not hard to find. The
whole world buys in the cheap market
and sells in the dear market. Our exports
are increased because we sell products
cheaper than the same articles can be had
elsewhere, and we buy less abroad than
formerly because we are producing sim
liar articles cheaper than they can be pro-
duced, or than they sell for in foreign
markets. In short prices are lower III
the United States than in Europe. We
are underselliug the world But we are
achieving this mistaken triumph at the
cost of the Drawn and brain of this
country. the tendency of which is to make
the producers, the laborers of this coun-
try poorer, and the wealthy traders and
corporations richer. Their gains are all
derived from commissions for handling,
