A BARGAIN SALE IN ENGLAND.

the Eager Hunters Gather at the Doors
as Early as 5:45 O'Clock.
A bargain sale is a pretty serious
business In England. The Newcastle
chronicle recently contained the fol-
owing item: A remarkable fatality
occurred in Mare street, Hackney, on
saturday A sale at a local draper's
vas announced to begin in the MORN
ing, and large crowd of women as
'embled long before the doors were
opened. Some were there as early as
':45 o'clock. Among them was an old
ady who succeeded in getting into the
'hop and fell fainting at counter
while making small purchase. With
The assistance of the police she was got
'ut and doctor sent for, but life was
'ound to be extinct. The body was re-
moved to the Mortuary. A large force
of police was on duty throughout the
lay to control the crowds, and at in
'ervals 1t became necessary to close the
ioors. The excitement did not SUBJ
'ide until the place was finally shut up
1t IL O'Clock on Saturday night. Some
persons declared that such scenes were
never before witnessed at a sale.

GENTLY did any of them think it neces-

If which they are to receive a certain

surprised when it heard of this con-

clans, who act In this matter as
agree to pay good price for the mice,
whereas there are many persons in
Paris who would be only too glad to
make the doctors present of these

Yes, Nine. Alexandre's business in

Ing specialists in Paris and elsewhere.
She also keeps rabbits and guinea
pigs, but mice are her specially. 1t
is fifteen years since she first began
to supply animals to the Pasteur In
stitute, the Municipal Laboratory ard
several other such places. She has
hardly any competitors, and she has
more orders than she can we'll fill.
She feeds her mice exclusively on
bread and milk. Her clients insist
that the animals must be white and
plump, and she finds this diet the best
for them. When they are three months
old they are ready for the doctors,
and she seldom has any on hand after
that age. She disposes of these hap

clients in Paris, but also to several
persons in London and Geneva. The
little mice are we'll able to stand
long journey, and they are as fresh
when they arrive in London as they
were when they left Paris.
Madam is never short of mice. At
present she has about thousand on
hand, and as these animals multiply
very rapidly she will have double that
number in an incredibly short time

Why Not Corner Air 2

A sixteen-year-old miss in Washing
ton, d. c, was required by her
teacher to write an essay on some
political or economic subject prior to
the holiday recess. The following
pungent production is the result of
her labor and if a majority of the
rising generation give the same atten-
tion to the dangers now threatening
the republic they will be avoided with
out bloodshed when met during the
next century:
Suppose that all men coveted air,
and that it were possible to possess
themselves of it and store it away in
huge receivers. Suppose that this
could be done to such an extent that
in tir1e the strong were able to pos
sess themselves of all the air and dole
1t out to the weak only on their own
terms. Suppose, finally, that the
monopolists should make a ''corner"
in air and hold it on such terms that
the people were perishing by thou
sands for the want of it. What then
would be the remedy =? Should the
government step in and compel these
persons to supply the world with air
for the people to breathe ? Suppose
the same condition existed in the case
of water, wood, coal, land, food. Sup
pose, in the case of money, a small
minority Of the worlds people, by
thrift, by cunning, by fraud, by COM
bines, lawful or unlawful, should con-
troll the money supply of the world
and bring starvation to millions.
Should the government refrain from
measures of relief for fear of depre-
ciating the monopolist's dollar !? In
any event he would have enough and
to spare. Is it good thing for men
to hoard and continue to heap up
riches more than they need, while
millions are suffering for the neces-
saries of life2 Will the twentieth
century continue this state of things
or will there be a change ? We wait
and wonder.

AID FOR OUBANS.
II Is Asked by the Governor and by the
Mayor.

In response to many requests from
citizens Governor Hastings as issued
a proclamation calling the attention
of the people of the commonwealth to
the distress in Cuba and asking for
aid for the suffering people of the
island.
The governors proclamation recites
the action of the president and the
preparation to aid the Cubans and
states that at the call of citizens he
asks the people of the Keystone state
to come to the relief of the destitute
inhabitants of the island Gas God has
prospered them"
The proclamation designates C. P.
Warwick, mayor of Philadelphia ;
Henry P. Ford, mayor of Pittsburg ;
James N. Bailey, mayor of Scranton,
and John D. Patterson, mayor OF
Harrisburg, as depositaries, to whom
money, clothing, provisions and other
necessaries may be transmitted for
sure forwarding to Consul General
Lee at Havana. The conclusion is
"The citizens of our great and noble
commonwealth, foremost in every
good work, always responsive to the
call of patriotism and philanthropy,
who never turned a deaf ear to the
cry of distress, whether in our own
land, or from Russia, Armenia or the
uttermost parts of the earth, and who
have within recent years felt the gener-
Gus throb of sympathy and humanity
that came from every nation in the
civilized world when sore calamity
visited our own borders, will not,
am sure, turn deaf ear to the pitiful
cry which now comes from our neigh
bors in Cuba"

ANeoRA GOATS IN SOUTH AFRICA.
Profitable Flocks of Them Raised In Cape
Colany.

Profitable Flocks of Them Raised In Cane
Colony.
One of the most lucrative industries
in the Karoo districts of South Africa
is Angora goat farming, and, although
it has only been established for less
than forty years, the Cape bids fair to
become the most important centre of
mohair production in the world. The
carly attempts to import this goat from
Angora were attended with great loss
of money and great disappointment,
nearly all the goats dying either on the
way to the Cape or very soon after
landing, in fact, of the early importa-
tions only q very small number sur
vived. But in 1879, large importation
was successfully made by three differ
ent firms or individuals, who landed a
large number of pure-bred Angora
goats at Port Elizabeth.
The Angora in the colony is not now
pure-bred; the original imported rams
were crossed with carefully selected
pure white Boer goat ewes, and from
the succeeding in-breeding the present
f1ocks have sprung, and fine glossy,
silky fleece secured. Indeed, 1t is ac-
cepted that mohair can now be pro-
duced in Cape Colony as perfect in
quality and as beautiful in lustre as
any produced in Angora itself.
The goat itself is a pretty-looking
little ANIMAL looking, with its long
white wavy fleece, more like a sheep
than goat. The beard, too, so char
acteristic of the goat, is almost hidden
in the long hair about the neck and
face. The head Is small and narrow,
with dropping or "lop" ears. The
small body is thickly covered with a
beautiful long fleece of white. lustrous,
wavy, silky hair, which in well-bred
goats nearly reaches the ground; and,
in addition to this long hair, there is
an inferior undercoat Of hair, or sec
ond coat, which has its own separate
market value.-Black and White.
