The Effect of Crime on Trade.

"The bromo-seltzer trade is busted
temporarily" remarked downtown
druggist.
81 suppose as many people get up
with headache in the morning as ever,
but they don't drown their sorrows in
bromo-seltzer, since the Cornish
poisoning case came out. Guess I'll
get bottle of seltzer,' remarked a
man in here yesterday.
'Bromo-seltzer?' queried friend,
as if the very idea gave him cramp.
'Er-well, no, L guess 1 WON'T
remarked the first man, as if he recol-
lected something. And he didn't buy
it. Curious how people are infu.
enced by imagination. I'll bet there
isn't an anonymous box of candy sent
once day in Chicago now The Bot
kin case knocked that. People whs
send candy sign their names to it.
Why, one day at luncheon L stepped
in and ordered a box of candy sent
home. When got there that evening
my wife was in state of excitement
bordering on Mysteries. who do you
think could have done this, Henry|
she whispered. Tive saved the
wrapper and the string, and I
wouldn't touch piece of that candy
for a million dollars.
"Then the sausage trade was
knocked into cooked hat for nearly
year by the Luetgert trial. / know

In arecent publication of the Mass
achusetts Prison association, a strong
plea is made for the proposed legisla-
tiop looking forward to complete state
control of penal institutions; that is,
of the placing of the copnty prisons
as well as a number of reformatory in.
stitutions under the control OF state
board. One Of the main reasons urged
for this change is that it will secure a
classification of all the prisoners of
the state.

To drive slowly over cobblestones
is not Joy, but to drive four Russian
horses at gallop over cobblestones
was something to make you bite your
tongue and to break your teeth and to
shake your very soul from its socket
[ most solemnly assure you it was any
thing but simple drive to one fresh
FROM the asphalt OF Paris, for, like
Jehu, they drove furiously. Their
horses are all wild, runaway beasts,
and they drive them at an uneven
gallop resembling the gait of our fire
engine horses at home, except that
ours go more slowly. Sometimes the
horses fall down as they drive across
country, or stop only for stone walls
or moats. The carriages must be built
of iron, for the front wheels drop q
few feet into burrow every now and
then, and at such times an unwary
American is liable to be pitched over
the coachman's head "Hold on with
both hands, shut your eyes and keep
your tongue from between your teeth"
would be my instructions to one about
to ''take drive" in Poland.-Wom-
ans Home Companion.

Scotland is about to receive its first
lot of American steel rails, a cargo of
800 tons having just been shipped
from Spanow's Point, Md, to Glas,
gov. This installment is part of an
order for 35, 600 tons for the Caledo-
nian railway, and it marks the farthest
advance of American steel products
into England's home market. The
expansion OF this branch of American
industry is strikingly illustrated by
the fact that at the wharves of this
one establishmentin in Maryland vessels
are loading with steel rails for Scot
land on the East and Australia on
the West.

Every one knows what a bright,
beautiful fire is made by burning pine
cones, and country people who can
get them use them good deal. They
are almost an impossible luxury for
city folk, so thought Southern wom-
an who greatly enjoyed her fires of big
cones, and then the idea occurred to
her to collect quantity of them and
ship them to q woman's exchange for
sale. She sent in several barrels, and
only asked the modest sum of 50 a
barrel for them. A few thrown into
an open fire will make merry blaze,
and the cones were quickly sold to
people who Immediately appreciated
their value. The Southern woman
found her orders increasing almost
too rapidly, and has now regular
business in supplying pine cones, and
one that involves no expense in carry
ing it on. Gathering balsam for pill
lows is another industry that would
demand no outlay for "plant," and
it would be pleasant and interesting
occupation for healthy girls who like
to tramp the mountains and forests. -

Upon my heart these vernal days,
The longing keen takes hold
To seek, afar from trodden ways,
The morn's new-minted gold.

And blithely HE me where
The ariel bluebird's lyric laugh
Goes ripping down the air.
] find within the sky no flaw,
And all the earth to me
Is tuned to one ecstatic law,
The law of harmony.
And rising from the dewy land
Before my questing eyes,
A little flower, divinely planned,
In virgin beauty lies.
Plucking this boon of earth and air,
In hand and heart I hold
My own inalienable share
or morn's new-minted gold.

A HIGH PRICED PIANO.
One That Was Made for - Famous
Belgian Artist Mt a Cost
of $S5, 900.

A wonderful piano has been made by
Jan Van Beers, the Belgian artist,
whose portraits of beautiful women are
famous. che painter owns one of the
most remarka ole houses in Paris and
has given years to the study of interior
decoration, saws the New York Com
merCial Advertiser. He admits that
the exquisite instrument which he is
going 10 exhibit at the exposition next
summer is probably the most beauti-
full piano of ancient or modern times.
OF course, only the she'll or case is his
work; whose make the instrument
shall be will be determined by the pur-
chaser. The body of the piano is of
natural wood, tinted green; the legs,
garlands, Cupids and all the ornamental
tons are of bronze, gilded and chiseled
by the ablest sculptor of Louis Quinze
bronzes in Paris. The fine sketches
which appear on the sides and on the
front of the piano are pain tings by the
artist himself and represent the four
seasons, and a minuet danced in the
park in the days of Louis XIV, all after
the manner of Vatican.
The designer has tried as far ais pos
sible to convert those parts of the piano
which are ordinarily unrracecul and
awkward into something decorative
and harmonious. The rri"is, which
generally represent Tyre. -" rrriaced

where some day distinguished must
clans will write their names, using for
this purpose the sheath and arrow of
Cupid at the left, which have been in
geniously converted into inkstand and
pen. The music, resting on a small
frame of bronze, which glides forward
upon a spring, is lighted by two delicate
electric flowers, and the musician is
thus left in an agreeable half-Iight.
The total cost of the piano will moi be
less than $4,000.
