American Huuor.

ed an educational conference at Edin-
burgh last summer and sat at dinner
beside a Scotch professor.
Il have had some correspondence
with Professor Il. OF Chicago" began
the Scotchman. "Is there any posi-
bility of your knowing himy''
Very WELL" was the cordial reply,
and he happens to be sitting at the
next table, the third man from the
end"
"Indeedr' replied the astonished
ScotchmRn. 81 have also had some let
ters from Professor o. of the Univer-
sity of Michigan. Probably you know
nothing of him?'
ION the contrary, L know him very
well. There he sits, near the corner
OF the room, the man with whiskers
and gold spectacles."
This was too much OF a coincidence
for the nettled metaphysician, who re-
garded it merely as American humor;
but he went on stinly:
well, sir, 1 have had relations with
another American, a minister near
New York, one DR.. Hills
"Oh," laughed back the other, tap

A Poser.

DIR. Ormond OF the Princeton univer-

for his physical rotundity as for his
metaphysical profundity. Some time
ago. on entering the nursery at his
home, he surprised his offspring-a half
dozen young boys and q small girl-in
ardent discussion OF the Absolute. {"
One young philosopher turned to him
IN appeal:
Father, can man be absolutely
goodY
NO" the professor replied, "a man
can't be absolutely good"
Father" another young sage de-
manded, "can man be absolutely
badr'
NO." was the judicial response. "a
man can't be absolutely bad"
And the little daughter, aged four,
piped up:

NAvAJOEs POOR TRADERS.
Unable 60 Get Fair Prices For tho
blankets They Weave


"The Navajo Indians are making bet
ter blankets than ever before. but they
fail to make any progress I'm the higher
crt OF marketing them" said c. o.
Howe OF Navajo, Arlz. s'They en-
ploy the same primitive methods in
weaving them and will continue to do
SO, suppose. as long as there is one of
them left. The women do the work,
but the men do the marketing. 1t has
been said that IL the women had
charge of the marketing as well as the
making they would get more for their
work. L doubt whether this is true or
not. While the women are better
workers, and, I'm fact, do all the work
OF n mental kind, they show no more
shrewdness I'm trade than do the men.
While the women do all of the real
work they rarely see cent of the
money derived from their toll Their
arrogant lords of the tepee appropriate
that. The women are patient and doc.
lie. You would suppose that IL they
are clever enough to make n blanket
that cannot be duplicated anywhere
else on earth they would have sense
enough to assert their plain rights, but
they never do.
There will never be q woman's
rights club in an Indian reservation,
for the women do not know that they
have any rights. They toll over q
blanket and then they permit their
lazy, worthless husband TO sell il and
squander the proceeds on whisky and
on trinkets for personal adornment for
himself without q murmur There are
many white men around the Navajo
settlements. and after firing up the
Indian i'm charge of the blanket they
purchase it from him for about one
third OF its value. Then they ship ii
to some city.
ut is impossible to counterfeit Nav
ato blanket Even n tenderfoot ought
to be able to tell the difference. That
being true, it would seem that the
Indian ought TO be smart enough to do
more with them after they are made.
When ii is considered that the Naya-
joes use the rudest methods of weav-
ing, the opportunity for others to make
blankets equally good would appear
favorable, but 1t has never been done"

or go freshmen in Northwestern uni
versity lis must enter the spelling
class which that institution maintains.
These delinquents missed twenty or
more words each out OF 200 in n not
very difficult written test.
This Is very bad record, but there
is no reason to suppose that the CORE

college would do better. A district
school, thirty years ago would have
withstood such test with far higher
percentage OF pass rank" students.
Inability to spell does not prove the
lack OF intellect or even OF consider

makes good speller, while keen logical
powers without it are of little use in
avoiding pitfalls. Many an able mathe-
matician is naturally n poor speller.
Good linguists, on the other hand, need

COST OF GROCERIES.
What n Former Generation Paid 10
Flour and Potntoes

What n Former Generation Paid For
Flour and Potatoes.
From statistics OF prices recently
furnished by grocer In business pre-
vious to the civil war 1t is shown that
-four retailed for $3.50 per barrel in
1880. In 1856 it had risen to $3.50
per barrel
But during the year 1865, when the
war was closed, prices had reached
marvelously high figures. For In
stance, -four sold for $40 per barrel,
sugar, So cents per pound; butter, 60
cents; coffee, GO to 40 cents; tea, 81 40
10 SLIGO per pound; oil, $1.o5 to S115
per gallon; beans. 16 cents per quart:
potatoes, 81 per bushel; soap. 20 cents
per pound; eggs, GO cents per dozen,
and other things in the same proper
ton.
After 1896. when the extreme limit
In prices was reached, they began to
steadily decrease. AS compared with
present prices those of 1866 were fully
DO per cent higher.
Some of the radical changes may be
seen in the prices of flour now at 81 80
per barrel and in 1862, when It was
$S.25, or in 1865 at $50 per barrel. 1t
Is therefore now at its lowest figure.
Take sugar also. In 1862 ii was II
cents per pound; in 1865, 33 cents; now
1t is D to cents. Butter was 10 cents
In 1880, but had advanced to GO cents
per pound In 1868.
Oil is another leading staple which
has shown wonderful fluctuations i'm
price. Selling for $1.05 to $1.15 per gal
lon in 1866, 1t has now decreased TO 10
and II cents per gallon, vast gain for
the consumer. In 1850 it sold at so
cents, in 1858 at 81 and in 1875 at 40
cents per gallon.
Potato prices have been regulated
largely by the yield. In 1850 they sold
ut 90 cents. in 1857 at 81, in 1880 Mt
S1.1O and in 1892 at 60 cents per bush
ell. This year they have been as high
as S1.2o to $2.2o per bushel.
1t will therefore be seen that all the
above articles are lower now than thir-
ty-hve TO forty years ago, and the
same may be said of more than 100
other different groceries.
For the most part, the grocers' prof
Its have gradually decreased on all ar
ticles since the close of 1872, the panic
season. nor is there any likelihood for
a better condition of affairs for some
time to come.-Retail Grocers' Advo-

But, though Gods balances may be
condemning scales for the Belshazzars
of sin, they may also become scales of
salvation for every immortal soul that
avails itself Of Christ's atonement. 1t
Is not now a question OF how many
sins may be piled into the right scale,
but rather OF whether we are willing
to place the atoning cross in the left.
Though the sins Of Gods hayward
children may be mountains high and
