ORDINARY CIVILITY.
The Advantages and Pleasures or
1t as EIucidated by Mr.
GObbleby.

T should recommend as an investment"
said Mr.. Gobbeby, 'the practice of civility.
As matter of fact, l don't suppose that a
very great number of men have suddenly be-
come wealthy through this means; that is, l
don't suppose that large number of very
rich people have left fortunes to men who
had been at one time or another polite to
them, but | don't doubt, either, that there
have been just such cases, and don for a
moment doubt that substantial advantages
have often accrued to men through their
consistent civility.
"But aside from any question Of material
profit Though there is still always the
chance of that involved in it, | should say
that the exercise of civility would pay for
another reason. There are lots of people
who like civil treatment, who are, in fact,
really pleased by it, and though we might
not get anything in dollars and cents out of
civility extended in this way toward people
in general, yet | should say it would pay, for
we should get from it, at least, the pleasure
that is always to be derived from atfording
pleasure to others.

of view we look at it, civility is a good in
vestment; we are sure to get something out
of it, anyway, and it doesn't cost us cent.

MARKEN MODES.
The Mems Fashions on the Zuyder
Zee Are Queer, But the Women's
QIcerer.

The great feature OF Marker is the
costumes of the people. The Marker
girls when they take service away from
home in the neighboring cities IF the
Zuyder Zee still tenaciously cling fastto
their native costume in all its oddly.
The men of Marken wear full black
wooden knee brooches, with black wool
en- stockings, and at home wooden
shoes. Above they have on wide
blouse fastened at the neck with pair
of gold buttons, and underneath this is
red flannel shirt, which shows at the
waist. The women Guido them. They
wear, one and all, black bodice, over
which is a stomacher, or "babbetJe,'
in the vernacular, of bright-figured
chintz, often of large and pronounced
pattern. Their black wooden skirts are
short and full, and show at the bottom
the edge of a red flannel petticoat;
their stockings are black, and their
shoes, at least out of doors, are the
wooden klompen, that the Dutch name
so expressively describes. The head
dress, as everywhere in Holland, is the
most distinctive part of the whole. 1t
consists of high cylindershaped cap
of colored linen, covered in its turn with
muslin cap, with an edge and insertion
of lace, all most carefully and elaborate
Iy made. From under the edge of the
cap projects, stiff and straight, long
bang of blonde hair, and from each side
over the ears hangs down thick curl

ticular feature of Marker. Old and
young wear them, through all the vary
ing degrees of luXuriance and growth,
from the young girl who assumes this
whole costume when she arrives at
manageable age, through the plentiful
abundance of young womanhood, to
the stringiness and ultimate paucity of
age. The Marken children it is utterly
impossible to distinguish as to sex at
an early age, since all wear skirts and
tight-ftting caps. The boys, however,
have star-shaped crown in the latter,
which is apparent when pointed out.
When boy is five years old he lays
aside these garments for the garb OF his
father, whom he straightway resem-
bles in miniature. The Marken costume
is one of the brightest and most various
" colored that can be found anywhere
out of southern lands, a circumstance
that renders a Marken clothesiine
glory to behold
Marker is not the only fishing village
along the Zuyder Zee where the folk
life is interesting and full of color.
These characteristics are particularly
true of Nolendam, which lies on the
coast of the mainland just beyond. The
women here, however, are not so strik-
ing, but the men are more so, because
of the fullness of their long black
trousers, which makes them look, par
ticularly as seen from the back, like the
be-bagged women of the orient.--key-

is developing more than any other, past

600. Dr. Murrays English dictionary is
expected to contain no fewer than $780,

FIFTEEN MILLIONS IN CASH
BIG SUM PAID FOR SOUTHERN
PROPERTY.
Two Railways, Coal and Iron Mines
and Nine Blast Furnacas-New
Workers Furnished the Money.


Knoxville, Tenn, Jan. 22.-The larg-
est business transaction made in the
south in ten years has just been made
here. 1t involves an investment of tif-
teen millions of dollars. The Virginia
Coal, Iron & Railway company has
bought in the immense blast furnaces
at Max Meadows, Pulaski, Roanoke,
Va, and Bristol, Tenn; also the Bristol
& EliZabethton ana the South Atlantic
q Ohio railroads. Cash is paid for all
owner of 1885, 900 acres of coking coal
lands, 60, 600 acres of ore lands, two
railroads and nine furnaces. The rail-
roads extend from Big Stone Gap, Va,
to EliZabethton, Tenn, passing
through Bristol, Tenn, and the rich
coal, mineral and timber lands of the
new company.
The result of this transaction is due
to the efforts of Colonel F. ]. Sanford
of this city, president Of the Knoxville
& Ohio railroad; Colonel F. NJ. McGhee
of this city, who is known among the
railroad magnateS, and Mr.. Ben Du-
laney of Bristol, Tenn. Colonel Sanford
n Mr.. Dulaney interested New York
people in the enterprise, and organ-
lied the company with 81, 500, 900 stock
subscribed. and the same amount of
JULIUS were ISSueQ anu SOIu LOT SpOl
cash. E. B. Chapman of Moore &
Schley, the New York bankers, carried
the deal through, and that firm under
wrote the bonds.
The Bristol furnace was purchased
over a year ago by Colonel Sanford and
Colonel McGhee, thereby forming the
nucleus of what has developed into such
a strong concern. This furnace will
be put in active operation Immediately,
under the management of George L.
Carter, president of the new
and who has, for ten years, been presi-
of the Carter Coal & Iron COM
9any.
The gentlemen composing the COM
have also made propositions seek
ing the purchase of the furnaces at
Johnson City AND Embreeville, Tenn.
The company is the strongest ever or
Sanized in the south for d similar pur-
pose. 1t will develop untold resources
heretofore untouched. East upper Ten
nessee and southwest Virginia are rich
in coal, iron. zinc and other minerals,
together with valuable forests of tim
Der of every description. The develop !
ment of these properties will begin at

Spain herself took little interest in the
rates of duty. Indeed, of the total
amount OF duties paid as above. nearly
SSo0,VO0 was paid by the United States,
largely on food products. In making
up the Puerto Rico tariff. Spain ar
ranged the schedules so adroitly in
IaVor OF her ovn interests that between
the goods placed at a high rate of duty
coming from countries other than
Spain, and the commodities placed at
a low rate of duty-on the free list,
when imported into Puerto Rico from
Spain-she escaped almost altogether
the payment of duty.
Spain, according to DIR. Carroll, fur
nished Owe 40 per cent in value of the
imports, and paid less tina 4 per cent
OF the customs collected; the United
States furnished q per cent of the
value of the imports and paid 3S per
cent OF the customs collected. As
Spanish imports now pay duties at the
same rates as those from other coun-
tries, an increase of revenue may fairly
be expected in the schedules which
Spain reserved for herself. If the
amount of this increase could be esti-
mated, it would be possible to consider
ably reduce the rates of duty on food
stuffs; but to do SO without knowing
exactly the amount of revenue it may
De possible to obtain from the other
schedules, would be a dangerous eX-
