Mistake OF a Fish Dealer When He Col
Gsods "Collect ON Delivery"

Mistake OF a Fish Dealer When He Got
Gaods "Coliect on Delivery"
An amusing story is told OF an en-
terprisine, though verdant, young man
who lives in small town up the state.
He wished to embark on the sea OF
matrimony, but finding his income en-
tirely insufficient for the purpose, he
cast about to see if he could not find
some vocation which would yield him
enough to support wife on. After
considerable reflection he decided that
since there was no fish dealer IN the
village, it would be wise plan to en-
gage n that line of business.
He was totally ignorant Of what the
demands of the public required, and, as
many another young man had done
before him, consulted his fancee on the
subject. She told her lover that once
when she was on visit to the city she
had eaten some haddock, and that it
was delicious, and advised him to lay
in a stoea of that kind of fish.
The young man went to the local ex-
press Office, and told the agent what he
wanted to do. The latter said that he
would order the fish from New York,
and that the young man could pay for
it when it was delivered. The barrel
of fish came in due time, and, of course,
it was marked &C. o. D." When the
goods were delivered to the prospective
fish dealer he looked at the barrel for
a moment, and, turning to the express
man, said in tone Of great disgust,
Il ordered haddock and they sent me
cod."
The story was too good for the ex-
pressman to keep to himself, and the
fish dealer, who made a success of his
new business. is often, even to this day,
greeted by the housewives on his
morning calls with the sly question,
Have you got any cod?" To this he
replies: Il pay for my fish when | or
der it now, so l never get any cod."-

Each year the source Of the supply Is

Each year the source Of the supply Is
extended. 1t was first the Carolinas,
Norfolk and Georgia which monopoliz-
ed this industry. Then Florida enter
ed the field, and finally the gardens
spread along the Gulf and included
those in the Mississippi Valley. Cali
fornia made special efforts to ship ner
fruits ard vegetables to eastern mar
kcts in cars made for the purpose, and
now Texas and eXen Mexico are enter
ing the field with their peculiar farm
products. There are some 10000 refrig-
orator cars engaged in this traffic in
the winter season, distributing the
fruits and vegetables of the tropical
and semi-tropical gardens and farms to
the large cities of the north, south.
east and west. The best of these cars
are scientific products of modern gen.
ius, and they carry their loads of fruits
as carefully as Pullman palace car
transports its millionaire occupant.
Strawberries from the Carolinas
alone amount to some 100000 quarts
year. while California pours across its
borders some 193,000O0O pounds Of
fresh fruits. New York city alone abb
serbs some 100000 packages of south
ern vegetables every winter. All told,
the winter farming which supplies the
cities with their fruits and vegetables
in the cold season represents an indus
try amounting up into many millions
of dollars. All this is pure gain for the
farmers and land owners, who former
ly made little or nothing from the soil
which is now brought under contribu-
tion to feed us with a. winter diet OF
fruits and vegetables. The creation
and expansion of the industry 1epres-
ents wealth added to the country Just
as surely us if new gold mines had been
discovered which yielded annually a
dozen million dollars worth of the
precious metal.-George E.. Walsh, in
the Scientific American.

If thou wouldst be borne with, then

One thorn of experience is worth a

The man who in this world can keep

Smith.
If you wish your neigbors to see
what God is like, let them see what
he can make you like. Nothing is so
infectious as example.-Charles Kings

Kind looks, kind words, kind acts
and warm handshakes, these are sec.
condary means Of grace when men are
in trouble and are fighting their un-
seen battles.-John Hall.
Affections should not bind the soul,
but enfranchise it. Through them it
should know larger, deeper, higher
lie. They should be to it as wings by
which it mounts. A friend comes as

The pressure of a hand, kiss, the
caress of a child, will do more to save,
sometimes than the wisest argument,
even rightly understood. Love alone is
wisdom. love alone is power; and,
where love seems to fail, it is where
self has stepped between, and dulled
the potency of its rays.-George Nc

Lighting = Dark Hall.

A mirror will tighten a dark hall If
properly placed. Place the glass op-
posite door and the light from that
apartment, falling on the mirror, is re-
fected back from it to the hall, to it's
much greater lighting, while the ap-
parent size OF the little place is greatly
increased. The mirror is unframed,
and is fitted in between cornices and
Dashboard, and finished at the sides
with a fat moulding that seems part
Of the woodwork. The value Of this
treatment is not realized until it is
tried. Often a blank stretch of wal!
that seems q hopeless shutting in of
space may offer the Transforming op-
portunity. Care must be taken not to
overdo the treatment in such Way as
to create the effect of hotel corridor
or public hall: but judiciously used
under the care of a good architect the
plan is to be commended.-New York
Journal.

the sound of the rubbing. 1t was near

What would great grandmother
say?" she laughed. She got hers out
before breakfast. Well. don't care,

The clothes were daintily white ana
sweet. and Nancy hung them up with
careful precision. She gave the tiny
baby things a cross line to themselves.
Mrs. Sophia had a long. refreshing
sleep. When she woke the wash was
tapping gently out on the line. She
lifted herself painfully on her elbow
and gave it sharp scrutiny, astonlsh-
ment and distinct approval dawning in
her pale face.

What Oyerwork Means.


Professor Huxley gave his opinion in
1893 that what is called overwork
means, in a large proportion OF cases.
under-oxygenation, and consequent ac-
cumulation of waste matter, which op-
crates as poison. Sir ]. Sawyer Bir-
mingham, in corroboration of this
opinion, urges that much chronic in
validism is chronic suboxidation, and
one of the worst of wrong conditions is
work in stale air. Whenever we doubt
about our vitality, we should DOUBT
about our ventilation. DR.. Cheadle re-
minds us that one-third of our lives
are spent III our bedrooms, of which
the air is poisoned beyond what would
be tolerated in sitting-room. 1t IS
we'll conceded that many of the cases
of nervous disease, and especially the
various forms of neurasthenia, depend
largely upon want of open-air exer-
cise.-Medical Record.

An Odd Screen.

One Of those tall screens which may
be put to so many uses about house
is a unique affair in Flemish oak
There are three panels to this screen,
all rather wide and covered both sides
with fne Japanese mating. This cov-
ering extends to within about two feet
Of the top Of the screen, the open
spaces being jnclosed in skeleton
frame. The upper open part of each
panel is then filed in with realistic
spider web of heavy brown twine. For
a further touch of realism huge spid-
er is caught in the meshes of each OF
the webs, the effect of the whole be-
ing odd and unusual.
Those screens covered entirely with
mating are pretty and serviceable, and
for a little adornment the mating of
each panel is sometimes bordered with
narrow strips Of leather closely stud
ded with large brass nails.

Cleaning n Floor.

Genuine skill can be exercised in
cleaning floor as in anything else. At
ter the rugs and carpets have been
taken up a floor that is not finished in
any other way should be thoroughly
scrubbed and dried before it is cover
ed again. 1t is economy 10 lay down
floors Of matched boards of good sea-
soned wood, which will not warp and
show the cracks. After the carpet is
up and the dust has been thoroughly
swept up and has settled, scrub the
wood with warm water and sal soda,
cleaning and scru5bing about square
yard of surface at a time. 1t pays to
have two pals, one Of soda and water
to scrub the floor with, and Cne OF
clear hot water to rinse it up with.
Use two cloths, one to wipe up the
floor and the other to dry with. When
the floor is scrubbed wash and dry
these cloths before you use them for
another cleaning. If the floor is hard
wood it would better be dressed by a
regular finisher, as there are few maids
in this country who are willing or in
telligent enough to do this work,
though this is the regular part of the
maids work abroad, and the tools fur
nished in this country for the purpose
are much easier to handle than those
used in Europe.-New York Tribune.

BLACK WALNUT.
Wood That Has Become Too Valuable
to be Used, as Once, for Fence Rails.

Wood That Has Become 100 valuable
to be Used, as Once, for Fence Rails.
The best black walnut in the United
States is found in Indiana. Forty
years ago there could be found in this
State crop Of black walnut unequal
led in quantity and quality Today it
is not to be found in such immense
trees. Neither is the number of trees
by any means so numerous. Years
ago the largest and best trees were
used for fence rails and such common
purposes. At that time it had no par
ticular commercial value. Before wal
nut came into general use, the most
of domestic furniture was of cherry.
Walnut has now entirely superseded
this and all other woods. Fence rails
can be found today through Indiana
that were split more than half CEN
tury ago, and they are as sound now
as then, save the wear and tear. Cf
all hard woods the walnut is most dur
able. save red cedar, and possibly IN
the ground, black locust would equal
it.
Our walnut is comparatively gone.
In isolated parts of the country, where
this timber grows, there Is yet some
Of inferior quality, but to a limited ex-
tent. But the general black walnut
growing in the deep forest. in the rich
lowlands, in it's primitive nature, is a
thing of the past. The general sup
ply must now be gathered from the
four quarters Of the earth to supply a
demand that requires century for it's
elimination witnesses the astounding
spectacle of the almost entire extinc-
ton of the valuable material.
Kentucky has quite good stock Of
hlack walnut, and much that Is very i'll
ferior on account of its grey color and
tough, hard texture. Missouri also
has some of rather an inferior quality.
Western Ohio and West Virginia is
poor in quality.
The whole stock of the states is not
equal to a full demand for ten years
to come. Furniture manufacturers
do not now use it as lavishly as they
did five years ago. Other woods are
substituted when possible, and 1000
feet of walnut are made to go as far
again as it did a few years ago.
Chicago uses annually in her differ
ent branches of manufacture, such as
house. school and office furniture. also
in finishing material. doors, mouldings,
counters, &c.. 14.5C0.000 feet. Prob
ably about half of this is bought at
the mills, and does not go into the ac-
count of the dealers at all. Many Of
the largest manufacturers direct. or
have mills or an interest in, mills in
the walnut district.-Terre Haute
Gazette.
