No Hermit He,

"Talking about philosophy" said 9
noted author, who would never in the
world forgive me if l mentioned his
name. reminds me of man L used
to know out in Louisville. He raised
hogs for living, not because the hog
per Sc. is thing of beauty, but be
cause he had an idea that by nurturlng
hogs in a certain way he could make
them pay better than any other crcp.
"The idea was still in his mind when
the hogs were ripe. He drove them to
Louisville, but the price offered him
did not seem adequate. He felt sure
that over in Observation-Disclosures is very
cultured State-hogs Of an exceptional
kind would be more keenly apprecl
ated. He drove the hogs to Indianap
oils. The price there, also, was made
Guate, so he footed it to Chicago with
his crop. Some time late in the fall
he returned to Louisville, still driving
his hogs before him, and there he sold
them for considerably less than the
price he had refused in the beginning
Somebody expressed sympathy for
him.
".Well,' he replied. i've lost the
whole summer and I'm out a good deal
on the cost ON them critters, but I've
had the society of my hogs. '"-Wash'

COMMERCIAL REVIEW.
R. G. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Revue

R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review
of Trade says:
Although the new fiscal year opened
with an extended holiday there is
much encouragement in the evidence
Of returning confidence, and statistics
for the last six months indicate thal
there is no little reason tor anticipat-
ing better things in the last halt OF
the year. Half yearly returns OF in
solvencies show that liabilities nave
steadily decreased. Railway earnings
that earlier months showed losses OF
per cent. or more in comparison
with last year, exhibit an increase OIL
GO per cent. for June Reports from
leading branches of trade tor the
past week testify to quiet condition,
but scarcely more so than is custo'
mary at this time of the year, while
inquiries in several manufacturing
lines promise better distribution in
the near future.
Failures this week in the United
States are 24o, against 227 last week,
Isl the preceding week and 2I5 the
corresponding week last year.
Bradstreet's says:
Slack demand and overproduction
in some lines have spurred American
manufacturers to seek foreign out
let. Detailed foreign trade figures
for May show that iron and steel
makers have found it possible to ex-
port more literally, and manufactures
generally are moving abroad so much
better as to indicate that the present
year will see the largest exports OF
manufactured goods in the country's
history.

TIL. HARMLESS Verge.

The French papers are full OF fri
butes to the famous illustrator, Daniel
Verge. who died in Paris recently.
Jules Claretie tells in the Temps how
the strong. vigorous artist, fresh from
bear hunting in the Pyrenees, was
stricken down by paralysis during the
celebration Of the eightieth birthday
Of Victor Hugo. Everybody supposed
that the life work Of the brilliant II.
illustrator of Hugo and Michelet was
done, for mis- right side was powerless.
but with dauntless courage he taught
himself to work with his left hand,
over which he had little control, until
it become the equal Of the righl in his
best days. After the stroke he could
only speak with extreme difficulty, but
with the aid of monosyllables, signs
and facial expression he contrived to
carry on a lively converse with his
friends. and to the last he exhibited
an irrepressible gayety Of spirit. His
friends say that lie died twice.

A sHRlNKAGE IN VALUES.

IN the city. At the hotel where ne

the safe. where valuables were kept
for security.
"What value?" the clerk inquired.
The poets face flushed with pride.
ut is, perhaps, scarcely possible to
place a value upon 1t, but
"Say two hundred?" suggested the
busy and practical clerk
"That Is, perhaps, something OF the
sort they will place on it," replied the
poet, with a deprecatory curl OF MS
lip. Eyes," say two hundred and ne

The clerk checked 1t at two hun

morning the poet arose, paid for his
lodge. received it safely into his hands
again. and went forth. The after
noon was waning when the poet. look
ing wan and weary, stood again AT
the hotel desk, with 1t (no longer with
a large u in his hand.
"Ah." said the clerk. Care for 1t

PORTUGUESE PoLITENEss.
The Great Extent to which Mere Cere'
monial is Carried.


AS a picture of social intercourse the
following is given by former Earl Oh
Carnarvon in his book on Portugal
and Galicia, published half century
ago. In that unchanged and unchang.
ing part of Europe, the manners OF the
Old World have been preserved as no
where else on the face of the earth.
/ remember, he says, a striking in.
stance of the great extent to which
mere ceremonial is carried. by POrtu.
suese Of the old school. 1 called one
morning on a high dignitary Of the
Church, and ascending a magnificent
staircase passed through long suite
Of rooms to the apartment in which the
reverend ecclesiastic was seated.
Having concluded my visit, bowed
and departed, but turned, according tc
the invariable custom of the country,
when l reached the door, and made
another salutatiOn.
MY host was slowly following me.
and returned my inclination by one
equally profound. When 1 arrived at
the door of the second apartment, he
was standing on the threshold Of the
first. and the same ceremony again
passed between us. When l had
gained the third apartment, he was oc'
cupying the place I had just left on
the second; the same civilities were
then renewed, and these polite recip'
rocations were continued till l had
trayersed the whole suite OF apart
ments.
At the bannisters 1 made low and,
as I supposed, final salutation. But
no. when had reached the first land
ing place, he was at the top Of the
stairs! when l stood Oh the second
landing place, he had descended to the
first. and upon each of these occasions
our heads wagged with increasing hui
mility. Our journey to the foot OF
the stairs was at last completed.

Rivers Swallowed by Chasms.

One of the most singular features
In the scenery of Idaho is the occur
renee of dark rocky chasms, into
which creeks and large streams sud
denly disappear and are never more
seen.
The assures are old lava channels
produced by the outside of the mass
cooling ard forming a tube, Which
when the fiery stream was exhausted
has been left empty, while the roof
having at some point fallen in, pre-
sents there the opening into which
the river plrnges and is lost.
At one place a river appears gush
ing from cleft high up in the rocky
walls. Where this stream has its
origin, or at what point it is swallow
ed up, is absolutely unknown.

REVIVAL OF THE INN.
Public Houses are Changed to Suls
the Needs Of the Day.

Public Houses are Changed to Suis
the Needs Of the Day.
While some reformers are bent Oh
ending the public house, others are
busy at mending 1t. We need mol
decide for both; in many places there
are too many public houses. and OF
those that would in any case re-
main, many might well be bettered.
The annual report Of the pubic
house trust shows that substantial
progress is being made in this direc'
ton. The principal aim Of the trust
is the revival of the inn as a place OF
all-round refreshment and its extinc'
ton as mere drinking bar. The
man who asks for bovril gets the
same smile as the man who asks for
beer" that Is the advertisement AND
the motto. Lord Grey's movement is
most hopeful one; 1t takes Tor
granted that men will not be deprived
of their beer; but 1t offers every In
ducement to the consumption OF other
cups than those which inebriate, and
of eatables as well as drinkables. and
it provides decent, wholesome, cheer.
full surroundings. The movement iS
peculiarly opportune in rural districts
1t comes at time when there is a
considerable revival in the wayside
inn as a place Of necessary refresh
ment. Hostelries which seemed to
have been killed by the railway are
coming to life, thanks to the bicycle
and the motor At time when so
many people are thus taking to tho
road again, 1t Is very appropriate
that an effort should be made to i'm.
prove the roadside inn.-London
