The business [ ana connected with
uses some anilines, and onc when our
chemist was absent | saw a salesman
from a company with whom we had
never dealt. He did not catch my
name, and after the offer of a cigar,
he leaned forward and whispered:
IF you can get those colors in, I'll
see that you get five per cent. on all
ORDERS" l looked a little a%stounded,
and he fastened to add:
MAKE it ten per cent" This tempt
ed me into leading him on and said:
ooh, you don't do as we'll as your
neighbors." He Strengthened up and
said:
Fix the price on that color $3.50
per pound (he had already quoted 81
per pound on it,, and We'll give you
sixty-five cents on every pound you
order"
AS we order 800 or 400 pounds at a
time, this would make a very tidy sum.
Needless to say, the order was not
placed. But l did not tell the fellow
the reason. Another aniline salesman
once told me he had to do it or lose his
job. / simply told him we tested and
bought goods on their merits and did
not take commissions.-A Prominent

Mate Got Even with the Captain.

The mate of the Cora E. Smith, a
merchant vessel bound out to Monte
video, South America, had charge Of
the log book, and it was his duty to
enter each day the events of the
voyage. One day it happened he was
SO much under the influence Of liquor
as to be unable to attend to his duty,
w%hereupon the captain made the en-
try, noting at the end the words:
Mate drunk to-day" The next day,
upon making the usual entry in the
log book, the mate saw the notation
and became enraged. He asked the
captain to erase the Objectionable
words, but he steadfastly refused, con-
tending it was part of the records Of
the voyage, and he would not alter it.
The mate thereupon made his entry
in the book, at the end Of which he
wrote: ''The captain was sober to-
day."-Philadelphia Telegraph.

New York City.-Not in fen years
has there been such suffering among
the poor as now, according to the Off
Gals of the Charity Organization So
ciety. Since the severe cold weather
began applications for assistance have
been pouring in from all parts Of the
city, and many of the visitors connect
ed with the organization are COM
PEELED to work far into the night to
get through with the days work.
While the restitution eases have
been numerous ali winter, they have
greatly increased during the last few
weeks. This is ascribed to the cumu.
lative effects of long continued cold.
which has broken down once able-bod-
died men, who, a few weeks o were
hopeful of obtaining employment. but
who; i~ll-nourished, have succumbed to
the various diseases more or less di-
rectly due to zero temperature. A few
Instances will show in clearer light
the terrors of the cold to the poor
A year ago a young boiler fireman
was i'll such comfortable circumstances
that he could send his wife to Europe.
Now he is compelled to ask aid to keep
himself and his family. After the wife
returned from abroad in the fall the
young man lost the position he had
owing to a strike. On the money he
had saved he managed to support her
and his three children, all of whom are
under five years of age, for some
weeks, while he sought another posi-
ton. In the meanwhile the cold came
and the young fellow contracted bron-
chitis. He found employment, but
owing to the disease was unable to
hold it longer than a week. When the
case was reported it was found that
the family was entirely without food
and behind in their rent.
On the upper east side the visitors
of the society found a mother and two
daughters who had been getting along
for some months very comfortably, all
three working. The younger daughter
contracted rheumatism while going to
and from her work, and the income of
the family was decreased, while the
expenditure was added to by the care
and drugs necessary for the patient.
The family were people of consider
able education and felt their position
keenly. The sick girl has been placed
in a sanitarium.
A peculiar case was discovered on
the east side, not far from Fourteenth
street. A factory hand, out of work,
and having a young wife and one child
dependent on him, pawned his overcoat
while the weather was still mild. In
consequence III has been greatly him
dered in his search for employment.
The visitors of the organization found
him suffering from a severe attack Of
grip incidental to searching for work
during the zero temperature.

Frauds in walton Cases,

According to an article in the Cincin-
natl Commercial, a ffty-one pound stone
was recently found in that city secreted
in a bale of hay of eighty pounds.
This is not as bad as finding a lump of
lead of nearly one-half the weight of the
solid gold watch case secreted in the CEN
tire of the case.
Gold watch cases are sold by weight, and
no one can see where this lead is secreted
until the springs of the case are taken out
and the lead will be found secreted behind
them.
These eases are made by companies who
profess to be honest, but furnish the means
to the dishonest to rob the public. 1t is
not pleasant for anyone to find that he
has lugged a lump of lead in his watch
case.
Another trick of the makers of spurious
solid gold watch cases is to stamp the case
~. S, Assay" The United States does
not stamp any article made out Of gold and
silver except coin, and the fakir, By. using
this stamp, wants to make the public be-
lieve that the Government had something
to do with the stamping or guaranteeing
the ~fineness of watch cases.
Another trick of the watch faklr Is to
advertise a watch described as a solid gold
filed watch with q twenty or twenty-five
year guarantee. These watches are gener-
ally sent 9. 0. D., and If the purchaser has
paid for the watch he finds that the COM
pany which guaranteed the watch to wear
is not in existence.
The Dueber-H ampden Watch Company,
OF Canton, Ohio, who are constantly ex-
posing these frauds, will furnish the names
of the manufacturers who are in this ques-
tionable business.

APPEAL. FROM THE cZAR
Proclamation to the People Assails
the Action Of Japan.
Fur War, and the Necessity
FIR Patience:

st. Petersburg, Russia.-An official
proclamation explaining the u%nprepar.
edness Of Russia for wal and the nee.
essity for the exercise of patience by
her people has been issued here. 1t is
rs follows:
Some days have now elapsed since
oil Russia was shaken with profound
Indignation against an enemy who
suddenly broke off negotiations, and by
a treacherous attack ~endeavored to
obtain an easy success in a wal long
desired. The Russian nation, with
natural Impotence, desires prompt
vengeance and awaits feverishIy news
from the Far East.
THE unity and strength of the Rus
sian people leave no room for doubt
that Japan will receive the chastise-
inent she deserves for her treachery
and p~rOy0cation to war at a time when
our beloved sovereign desired to main
tain peace among the nations. The
conditions under which hosrilities are
being carried on compel us to wait
with patience news of the success or
our troops, which cannot occur before
decisive actions are fought by the
Russian army.
THE distance of the territory and
the desire of the Emperor to maintain
peace were the causes of the imposst-
bility of more complete and earlier
preparations for war. Much time is
now necessary in order to strike at
Japan blows worthy of the dignity and
might of Russia, and, while sparing
as much as possible the shedding of
blood of her children, to infiict just
chastisement upon the nation which
has provoked the struggle. Russia
must await the event in patience, be-
ing sure that our army will avenge
an hundredfold that p%rovocation.
Operations on land must not be ex-
pected for some time yet, and we can
not obtain early news from the thea
tire of war. The useless shedding Of
blood is unworthy the greatness and
power of Russia.
Our country displays such unity
and desire for self-sacriice on behalf
of the national cause that all true
news from the scene of hostilities will
be Immediately due to the entire ma.
tion."
The general staff announced that
the War Office was willing to ac-
cept volunteers for service in the Far
East. They must be under forty
years old, and have had military train
ing. These volunteers will be enrolled
in the reserve battalions under Vice.
