PAY FOR A SPOT.
Ingenious Little Idea for Teaching Chill
iren to Be Neat.

Two mothers of large families were dis:
GUESSING domestic matters one day. and
the younger OF the two spoke with u sign
OF the way In which her tablecloths were
spotted through the daily inishaps OF her
two boys. says II writer In the YOUTH =
Companion.
''Ptrhaps you'd like to know how have
helped my boys to be careful at the ta-
bie.'' said the older woman: 1T is the
plan on which my mother brought me up.
and / have never found a better"
''The rule in our family" she proceed
ed, when urged. by her friend TO eSpla
her method, lis this: Any one who makes
a spot ON the tablecloth must cover Il
with a piece OF money. and the piece
must be large enough to cover the stain
entirely: no rims allowed. The chill
dren have TO provide the coins out OF
their pocket money. This rule applies 10
their father and me as well as 10 them.
The sum goes TO buy new table linen.
''The first year I tried the new plan we
had money enough for three handsome
tablecloths, but since then there has been
less and less. This Is the fourth year,
and although none OF my boys has yet
reached his 18th birthday. and they are
by no means unusually deft in their
management OF knives. forks and spoons,
they have learned TO serve themselves
and others no well that I am inclined TO
think their contributions TO the table
cloth fund will be very slight"

Sea GuiIs' r.a,l.r

Bangor CMainel Commercia': One
OF the best-selling novelties l.. feath-
crs for millinery trade are those of the
sea gull. The wings and breasts are
most desirable and the price is on the
rise daily. Hundreds of dollars are
paid out weekly to the Pleasant Poin,
Indians, near Eastport. by Boston and
New York dealers for these goods, A
gentleman who visited there last week
saw one buyer pay s65 for a bunch of
featheru that he could gather up In lis
hand. The Indians have a secret proo.
esss in curing the breasts Of the most
desirable. There are thousands Of
gulls on the Maine coast, and every
thing bids fair for a new industry for
the people who live on the coast. Tho
prices paid have almost doubled sinot
the last Of August.

night The country people had
more money to spend than ever
before in at least FIVE years, and
they bought articles for home COM
fort and the necessaries OF life. l
never saw such trade in furni-
ture. 1t was not an uncommon oc-
eurrence to sell q ,s25 bill of furni-
ture, and there was no end TO the
purchases of bedsteads, mattresses,
dressers and other articles. The
merchants had made greater prep
arations for Christmas than ever
before, aud all stocks we're large
and attractive; yet tie demand
was equal to the supply, as ire
mendous business was done all
over the city. DR.. Dunavant said
his business had been quite salts
factory. Although he did not
have quite as varied a stock as
some of the rest, he did good
business. The grocery stores all
experienced an unprecedented rush
and trade in toys, fireworks, fruits
and candies was fine. There are
no merchants more pleased with
the holiday business than the gro-
GERS. B. F. McCrary. the Wells
Fargo man says he has been rushed
with such vigor that be "hasn't
had time to take o chew of tobacco
for q week. Mr.. w. J. Prude,
agent at the Choctaw depot, says
the sale of tickets this Christmas
was greater than ever before in
the history of the station. The
Newsstand the day after Christmas
looked like a cyclone had beer
through it. Abundance of eyi-
dence may be had on every hand
that this city and community is
enjoying degree offinancial pros
perity which is most gratifying,
IN consequence of which the peo-
pie are all contented and happy.

With the Merchants.

The volume of business done in
Forrest City during the week pre-
ceeding Christmas, or last week,
was beyond doubt greater than
was ever known before in the his
tory of the city-absolutely with.
out parallel. All the merchants
are satisfied with the amount OF
business done and speak their
minds freely on the subject. There
arc no grumble:s. Mr.. Becker, OF
the firm of Becker & Lewis was
asked how trade had been with
him, and replied: "Oh, we did q
good business and so did. every.
body else." An old employee OF
the firm of J. w. Beck & Co., in
talking over the rnsh OF. last week
said: "There never has Been q
week before Christmas that can
recall, when there was a large
crowd in town all the week long.
Our store was crowded, and
there was great rush in
town all last week from
Monday morning till Saturday

day. 1t is a burning question
whether it is the end ofthe Nine
teenth or the beginning of the
Twentieth century. What do you
think about it To us it seems
easy enough. The first century
closed December 81, A. D., 100.
One hundred years must elspse to
end century. Then 1900 years
must eIapse to close the Nineteenth
century. and If December 81, A. D.
100 closed the first century then
December 81, A. ID. 1900 must
close the Nineteenth century. In
other words, if the second century
