AMERICAN STORE IN AFRICA.
Establfshed by New York Firm and
Had a Great Bargain Sale on
Opening Day.

A New York firm owned, for years,
two banks which piled in the Liberian
trade, visiting also towns of impor-
lance elsewhere along the coast.
These vessels were well known in
this country among all who were in
terested in the emigration of Amer
lean negroes to Liberia, states the
New York Sun.
The largest number of emigrants
from the southern states who re-
moved to the land of their fathers
sailed on these vessels, each OF which
had comfortable little cabin and
good accommodations for 40 or 50
passengers. The New York firm dis
continued this service for some years,
as the profits had considerably di-
minished, but awhile ago it resumed
the trade, and now sends merchan-
disc to traders of Sierra Leone and
Liberia, taking in exchange the cof-
fee, palm oil and other products of
those countries, but has also opened
a store at Monrovia, the capital of
Liberia.
Two young men are in charge of
this store, which is filled from top
to bottom with American goods OF
oil sorts required by the Liberian re-
tail trade. 1t is distinctively Amer
lean store, where nearly everything
can be bought, from dress pattern
to a key Of nails.
The Liberians like American goods,
and our products are proving that
they can hold their own in COMPETE
ton with any European products in
the African market.
The women of Monrovia are as fond
of shopping as their American sis
ters. On the opening day the two
young men in charge had very busy
time, for the store was thronged
from morning till night.
All the shoppers of the little city
were out to see what the store had
to offer. They came with consider
able cash in their pockets and made
inroads in the stock.
A great variety of articles was
sold, among them being over 300
dress patterns, many combining
cheapness with durability, while 9TH
er dresses were of the best quality
that the Monrovian market demands,
The new store had a great send of.
1t is not expected that its daily sales
will often be as large as those of the
opening day, but at last reports bust
ness was thriving and the American
store had become an institution of
the town. Some of the great depart
ment stores of New York had much
humber beginning, and if Monrovia
develops as it's citizens hope it will do.
the new enterprise is likely to keep
pace with the growth Of the car

The best possible thing for a man to
% when he feels too weak to carry
anything through is to go to bed and
sleep as long as he can. This is the
only regeneration of brain power, the
only actual recuperation of brain force
because during sleep the brain is in a
state Of rest in condition to receive
and appropriate particles Of nutriment
from the blood which take the place of
those which have been consumed by
previous labor, since the very act of
thinking burns up solid particles, as
every turn of the wheel or screw of
the steamer is the result of consump-
lion by fire of the fuel in the furnace.
The supply of consumed brain sub.
stance can only be had from the nutri-
i've PARTICLES in the blood which were
obtained from the food eaten previous
~, and the brain is so constituted that
II can best receive and appropriate to
itself those nutritive particles during a
state of rest, Of quiet and stiffness Of
sleep. Mere stimulants supply nothing
IN themselves They goad the brain
and force 1t to greater consumption of
its substance until it Is SO exhausted
mat there Is not power enough left to
Tece1Ve supply.-Exchange.

custom lends itself to the playing of

the lettering and thereby gets the cart

by the accidental dropping on it of
some acid. The disaster discolored it,
you see. With this very delicate little
tool am removing the outer skin, and
If l find that the acid has filtered

you are a clever workman, peel it
down and down until it disappears"
