DRIVING A GOOD BARGAIN.

Terms ObtainabIe.

A salesman of now defunct Phlla-

reported to the firm one day that he
was in treaty with a buyer of an i'm
portant st. Louis house for heavy
bill of goods, and received from his
principals practically carte blanche as
to prices and terms-the state of the
market being uncertain, and it being
especially desirable on account of
other circumstances to clinch the sale.
Mr.. Rogers, the salesman, accord
ingly was unusually generous in the
matter of price, and the purchase in
size greatly exceeded his expectations.
The memorandum of the sale was
written out and was about to be
signed when the buyer asked, Mr..
Rogers, vat terms will you gif:
Carrying out the instructions of his
firm, and more than pleased with his
success in making the sale, Mr.. Rogers
replied warmly: "All the time you
want, Mr.. R"
Mr. R leaned over and conf
dentially whispered: 'Ish dat the best

TUNE 700 YEARS OLD.
Arabs in the Desert at Once Recog.
nized Old Favorite.

An interesting anecdote is told of
the old tune to which a well-known
song is now sung. The story runs
that when the army of Napoleon was
in Egypt in 1893 the camp for while
was near the Pyramids. One after
noon, about sunset. the band was
playing and the natives of the deserts
had collected and were listening to
the music. Nothing unusual hap
pened until the band struck up tune
which we now hear under the name
OF I'VE Won't Go Home till Morning."
Instantly there were the widest
demonstrations of joy among the
Bedouins. They embraced each other
and shouted and danced in the deli
iium of their pleasure. The reason
was that they were listening to the
favorite and oldest tune of their peo-
PIE. The tune had been taken to Eu-
rope from Africa in the eleventh cen
tury, ard had lived separately in both
countries for over 700 years.

Railway Freiahts and ch.roe,

The railways of this country in 1890
carried S0.0OO,000,000 tons Of freight
one pile. and in 1900 they carried 40.
O00.000.000 tons one mile. They
charged fraction more than nine.
tenths of cent for carrying each ton
. mile In 1890 and only seven and
half cents In 1900. AS the ingenuity
of inventors and the wise management
of fnanciers are both constantly at
work trying to reduce the cost of
transportation, the roads will carry
more freight still in 1910 and charge

curiou. ROYAL Custom.

When any Spanish sovereign dies
the body is at once submitted to the
process of fossilization, nor can It be
placed in the royal pantheon until the
body has been absolutely turned into
stone. Curiously enough, the period
required for fossiiization varies con.
siderably. Some royal bodies have be-
come solidined in a very shore period
while others have taken years before
the fossilization took place. It took
exactly thirteen years to convert the
body of the father of the present

THE BLOOD.

The blood is life. We derive from
the blood life. power, beauty and rea-
son, as the doctors have been saying
from time immemorial. A healthy
body. a fresh appearance, and gener-
ally ali ahe abilities we possess de,
pend on that source of life. 1t is
therefore the duty Of every sensible
man to keep the blood as pure and
normal as possible. Nature, in its
infinite wisdom. has given us q ther-
mometer indicating the state of the
blood, which appeals to our reason by
giving notice of its impurity. Small
eruptions of the skin, to which we
scarcely pay any attention, headache,
ringing noises in the ears. 'lassitude,
sleeplessness, are generally q sign
that the blood is not in it's normal
state, but is filled with noxious sub
stances. These symptoms deserve
our full attention. If more attention
were paid to those symptoms, and
steps taken to remove them, then
many illnesses from which we suffer
would become unknown and the hu.
man body would become stronger and
healthier. Attention therefore should
be paid to those warning signs, and
the blood can be purified and poison
