DIDN'T KNOW ALL TRICKS.
There Was Ono which Cost Him some-
thing to Learn.

1t is the new scheme that pays, now
adays. The latest idea is school for
commercial statesmen where the novice
can be taught the tricks Of the trade
and all the devices which experience
has sanctioned in coaxIng orders from
the reluctant buyer. A representative
of the school called on the head of a
big musical firm in Chicago yesterday
to interest him in the scheme. He
stated his case and was listened to at
tentively. The musical man seemed
interested and said that the idea was
good, but that their goods practically
sold themselves, and that their sales
men were mainly useful in keeping the
pianos polished with their fingers
while talking to the customers. He
talked with the enthusiasm of man
who is interested in his subject and
wound up by showing his visitor
around the salesrooms, explaining the
various instruments and their special
points of excellence, and all so cheer
fully and with such fine friendllness
that when the man with the scheme
went back to the school he was the
happy proprietor of brand-new piano
for which he had given notes for $4OO

been able to cure in all its stages and
that is Catarh. Halls Catarh Cure is

swept by tho Sea.

Inhabitants of the coast towns Of
England are alarmed over the en-
croachments of the sea. The pretty
little village of Dunwich was formerly
a large town and held no small place
among the commercial cities of the
Kingdom. All it's churches and mon
astic institutions have been washed
away by the sea, and large forest has
followed the buildings.
During the last century the small
town of Aldeburgh has been nearly
ruined. Buildings have been thrown
down, washed away and the market
place and cross are also gone. But at
Southwold the sea has fought with
the most pluck. 1t was once town
of Importance. The water has gained
one mile on the shore line in a few
years, and half an acre of land has
been washed away in the last couple
OF years. Houses which formerly stood
on the cliff are now on the very edgf
and will soon be washed away.
Many thousands of dollars have been
spent by England and more will be ex
pended in sea defenses, but the resi-.
