There Is a pretty story told of Queen

Careful of His Honor.

The proprietor of a large dry goods
store had decided to tear down the
old building and erect a new one in it's
stead, says the Youths Companion. In
furtherance of this plan he was re-
moving his goods to temporary quar-
tiers in another building.
The goods were nearly all out of the
old structure when. from some I'M
known cause, it caught fire. The de-
partment was promptly on hand and
soon had a stream playing on the
flames, but the merchant was wild with
excitement. Running up to the chief
he urged him to greater haste.
Never mind the goods!' he shouted
Save the building! I'll give the boys
check for $500 for their pension fund
if they don't let the fire spread beyond
that fioor!'
why, you're going to tear the old
building down, anyway, aren't you?"
asked the chief.
Yes" he said, but do you suppose
l want the insurance companies or
anybody on earth to think that's the
reason why it caught fire."
By great exertion the fire was extin-
guished with little loss, so far as the
building was concerned, and the mer-
chant was as good as his word.

Southern manufacturers who hope to
secure a fair share of the foreign trade
would do well to heed the warnings
that are being sent in from time to
time by our consuls with respect to the
packing of goods for export. 1t seems
to be the American idea to put manu-
featured articles into the cheapest
packages possible. and to crowd as
much bulk or weight into individual
packages as can be done. This may
answer, in way, for domestic trade,
though even at home it causes lots of
loss and dissatisfaction but it will not
do for foreign trade, where long dis
tances have to be covered and there are
many possible contingencies any one
of which is likely to spoil the contents
of the packages. Large and heavy
boxes and bales may serve for trans
portation between Savannah and New
York, or Boston and Galveston. where
the railroads and steamship companies
have appliances for handling heavy
weights; but they will not do for the
trade with China and other Asiatic
countries and some of the South Amer
lean countries, where packing on the
backs of coolies or mules must be re-
sorted to.
European manufacturers pay especial
attention to the packing of their goods
to suit the conveniences Of the people
to whom they are shipped, and that
circumstance has a great deal to do
with the favor in which European
manufacturers are held. For instance,
when bale of English cotton goods is
to be sent to China, Brazil or the Ar
gentine, each piece Of cloth is separate

One of the great turning points in
the early life of Admiral Farragut is
told in the August issue of Success,
which publishes a series of new sto-
ries of the great American.
David was acting as cabin boy to his
father, brave George Farragut, who
had taken part in the Revolutionary
and the Indian wars, and who on this
occasion, as sailing master of the fleet
was on his way to New Orleans with
the infant navy of the United States.
The boy thought he had the qualities
that make man. Il could swear like
an old salt" he says, could drink as
stiff glass of grog as if 1 had dou-
bled Cape Horn, and could smoke like
a locomotive. l was great at cards,
and was fond of gambling in every
