Peculiar Trade Customs.

The Armenians, who divide with the
Greeks and Jews the entire mercantile
traffic of west Asia, are accustomed to
sit 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 Asiasic
Russia the shopkeepers consider it in
cumbeDt 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, a 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. It. is not considered
businesslike to settle matters until a
few blows have been exchanged. after
which they peaoeably shake hands and
the bargain is concluded. Exchange.

Horace Greeley's Eccentric Ideas.


Even his eccentric ideas were made
plausible by his treatment. heard him
say once that what was then thought to
be the Great American desert ought to
be planted with Canada thistles SO as to
give nature some sort of a green start,
when other vegetation might be made
to follow. But the trouble is Canada
thistles, like any other thing inspired
by "pure cussedness, will only grow
and thrive where they ought not to.
Find a place where their presence would
do some good, and, as in the Humpty
Dumpty case, "all the kings horses and
all the kings men" could not fasten
them there. This perverseness suggests
in a certain way the small boys con-
oeption Of good and bad-his encbiridion
of nature and life.
"What's fun" he said, sis always
wicked; what we don't want to do is
pious."
Mr.. Greeley would cut down his
alders in the spring. When mildly sug-
gested to him that our agricultural au-
thorities preferred the autumn for that
work, when nature could not so we'll
aid their struggle for existence, he
thought this reason was mere excuse
for not cutting them at all.-Joel Ben
ton in Harper's Magazine.

The Lion of KeOs.

There are lions and lions, but the
lion of Ioul is the lion of Hellas, says
Professor J. Irving Mannatt in The At
lantic. The lions on guard above the
gate of Mycen@ may be older, but they
have lost their heads and Herewith
their main majesty. The lion sentinel
over Leonidas' grave at Thermopyl@

Simonides:

great and definite event, but he has
been broken to pieces. Better luck has
attened the lion of Keos. Couched here
on his flank in the living rock, with re.
verified head, % feet from tip to tail,
every feature perfect, full of life and
majesty, one can hardly think of him as
a mere image made with hands. He
looks rather as if in some prehistoric
age-the colossus of his kind-he might
have lain down here alive and turned
to stone, possibly after clearing the
island of it's first occupants, for there is
a myth handed down to us by an old
writer that Keos was originally inhabit-
ed by the nymphs until they were scared
away by lion and fled to Karystos,
leaving to the jumping off place. the
name Of Lion point. At all events the
monument and the myth make perfect
fit. Our lion is the very beast to strike
terror into nymphs or any other unwel-
come neighbors.

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
olinging to the rigging, with the surf
sweeping over the deck, many Of the.

Organ Music and organ Playing.

Organ Music and Organ Playing.
Organ music reached its climax with
Bach. y may perhaps be said that all
music did. AT any rate, one thing is
oertain-----viz, if there has been any prog
ress in music since the day Of Bach, 1t
has been due to him. Bach 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 modulation.
For pure organ music Bach still is
and probably will always remain the
greatest Of all composers. Even with
all the modern mechanical appliances
that have been attached to the organ,
his works are still very dificult-per
haps the most difficult of organ compo-
sitions. He must haye 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.
It is one of the phenomena Of musical
history that, while orchestral, operatic
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 d 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 a famous Ger
man composer to say punningly that
this great master was not Bach, but

The Popular Fox Terrier.

49,
All terriers are good They are as
shrewd, game. loyal small chaps as ever
stood upon canine feet or gazed at their
owner with soulful, loving eyes, and of
them all / prefer the fox terrier, either
wire haired or smooth coated. These
aristocratic, diminutive gentlemen nm
questionably are today the most popular
dogs in the wide, wide world, and there
are many excellent reasons why this
should be So From the palace to the
cottage these dogs have proved their
sterling qualities to the satisfaction of
all concerned, and they are especially
we'll suited to the conditions which
govern in crowded centers.
When the big St. Bernard, mastiff,
Dane or other heavy breed is painting in
the contracted. back yard, bowling on
chain, pining for exercise and freedom,
the terrier is merely having fun, busy
ing himself about the house, warning
off doubtful intruders and generally at.
tending to everything which appears to
require supervision. Clever, alert and
stout hearted, he never relaxes his
guard, and he fears nothing. His clever
ness as rule is safeguard against his
making mistakes regarding the desir-
ability of visiting strangers. He seems
instinctively to recognize persons who
are not wanted about the premises, and
woe to them if their mission be evil
and their desire stealthy invasion. He
protests, promptly and vigorously, and
he will not cease until some one of his
household has appeared and taken
charge of the matter. W. Sandys
