Peculiar Trade Customs,

The Armenians, who divide with the
Greeks and Jews the entire mercantile
traffic Of west Asia, are accustomed to
Fit down and weep bitterly when they
have sold any article of value, declar-
ing that the purchaser has ruined them.
The Jews, on similar occasions, rend
their garments, which are worn pur-
posely for such sacrifice, with still
louder protestations of ruin. In Asiasio
Russia the shopkeepers consider it in
cumbent upon them to at first refuse to
sell their goods to any customer, and
the latter is expected to employ himself
at least an hour in persuading the mer-
chant to deal with him.
But the most remarkable custom is
that which prevails among the mer-
chants of Tibet, regular hand to hand
fight being required to take place be-
tween the seller and the purchaser on
the disposal of any considerable quanti-
ty of goods, the former obstinately re-
fusing the price to which he had first
agreed, and the latter as resolutely fore
ing it upon him. 1t is not considered
businesslike to settle matters until a
few blows have been exchanged, after
which they peaceably shake hands and
the bargain is concluded. Exchange.

Many persons of both sexes are great
ly troubled with cramp i'll one or both of
their legs. 1t comes on suddenly and is
very severe. Most people jump out of
bed (it nearly always comes on either
just after going to bed or while undress-
ipg) and ask some one to rub the leg.
There is nothing easier than to make
the spasm let 60 its hold, and it can be
accomplished without sending for doc
tor, who may be tired and in need of a
good nights rest. When I have pa
tient who is subject to cramp, always
advise him to provide himself with a
good strong cord. A long garter will do
if nothing else is handy. When the
cramp comes on, take the cord, wind it
around the leg over the place that is
cramped and take an end in each hand
and give it sharp pull-one that will
hurt little. Instantly the cramp will
depart, and the sufferer can go to bed
assured it will not come on again that
night. have saved myself many good
nights rest simply by posting my pa
tients subject to spasms Of the legs how
to use the cord as above. I have never
known it to fail, and have tried it aft
er they had worked half the night and
the patient was in the most intense
agony.-New York Ledger.

He Wanted Sailors,

Lieutenant Carlin, the executive
officer of the Vandalia during the terri
BILE hurricane in the harbor Of Apia, Sa-
moa, was an enthusiastic ball player,
and while the crew was at Mare island
prior to their Samoan trip he had given
the preference in the selection of sailors
to those who could play his favorite
game. During the hurricane, after the
vessel struck the reef and the men were
clinging to the rigging, with the surf
sweeping over the deck, many of the
men were washed overheard. Lieutenant
Carlin determined to make desperate
attempt to carry a line from one part of
the vessel to the main yard. Into the
bowling wind he shouted, 81 want some
volunteers-good sailors!'
And out of the darkness voice re-
piled, Lieutenant, there amt no sail
ors here, but there's plenty of ball play
ets"-San Francisco Argonaut.

organ music ana orr.n r,ayins.

Organ music reached its climax with
Bach. 1t may perhaps be said that all
music did. At any rate, one thing is
certain-viz, if there has been any prog
Eess in music since the day of Bach, it
has been due to him. Baoh's music is
polyphonic, and polyphony is true
music. To its foundation upon this
school is due the fact that there has
been no decadence in music in Ger
many. There has been no advance in
polyphony since the days of Bach. Such
advance as has been made has been in
originality and boldness of meditation.
For pure organ music Bach still is
and probably will always remain tho
greatest of all composers. Even with
all the modern mechanical appliances
that have been attached to the organ,
his works are still very difficult-per-
haps the most difficult of organ compo-
sitions. He must have been as great an
organist as he was composer. That he
should have been able to play upon the
organ of his day works SO exacting in
technique as his own is simply marvel
Gus.
1t is one of the phenomena of musical
history that, while orchestral, operate
and other branches of music were in
their infancy in Bach's day and have
developed since then, Bach brought or
gan music to it's climax. He was not the
small source whence flowed a rivulet
which in time was to expand into a
broad stream; he was the broad stream
itself The word "Bach" in German
meansa brook, which led famous Ger
man composer to say punningly that
this great master was not Bach, but
an ocean. Forum.

Does Baby
/ hrive?

If your baby is delicate
and sickly and its food does
not nourish it, put fifteen
or twenty drops of SCOTS
Emulsion in its bottle three
or four times a day and you
will see a marked change.
We have had abundant
proof that they will thrive
on this emulsion when other
food fails to nourish them.
1t is the same with larger
children that are delicate.
SCOTS Emulsion seems to be
the element lacking in their
food. Do not fail to try it if
your children do not thrive.
1t is as useful for them in
summer as in winter.
Ask jour doctor If this is not true.
