HOW SHOPPERS ARE SOLD.
Instead of Getting Wonderful Bar
gains They Very Often Merely
Buy Inferior Goods.

Very few women know that when
they think they have run across won
derful bargains in some of the shops,
when, in fact, they know they are
getting certain articles cheaper than
usual. because they remember the
price paid, apparently, for the same
thing at other times, they are really
paying all that the goods are worth.
for the simple reason that the bargain
lot is what manufacturers call sec
onds. To all appearances the sec
onds look just the same as the orig
inal lot. If they happen to be I'M
derWear; gowns or hosiery the mate
rial, manufacture and style seem ex-
cellent, but the manufacturer and the
buyer know that they are made out of
the second choice of material, and cam

are originally cheaper than goods that

out of 10000 customers rejoice in the
thought that they have really found

grade of goods you are paying for. and

easy to see that the instances where
something is obtained for nothing are
very rare.-Chicago Post

POISONING OF ANIMALS.
The Tiger and Wolf Hard to over

4 Wolves tigers, leopards and otheY
cafniVora are difficult to poison be-
cause of the power which they have IL

ON the other hand, says Nature, are
very frequently poisoned. as they eat
FoFaclonsly and quickly more Like a

said that a good many lic,l skins, es-
peeially those brought back by foreign
counts and others from Somaliland be

method OF poisoning carcasses and
leaving them for the lions to devour.
Cattle, which have no less than four
stomachs, are hogelessly poisoned if

It is thus curious arrangement OF their
interiors which makes it such a diff

condition or health. At other times
they can eat the same plant or shrub

risky FOODS without bad effects. AT
other times the same edibles would

among cattle Or horses seeua to be-
somewhat analogous. They wigs some
times browse On shoots af ye2 and
take no harm whatever. at other
times they are obviously made very Ill

have been found dead with the yew
fresh and undigested in their sto-
machs.
Where poisonous plants are present
in any great numbers in heritage il
seems quite impossible to prevent cat
tie from eating them.
Birds seem to have no discrimina-
ton whatever in regard to poisons,
probably because they have almost no
sense Of smell and swallow their food
without masticating it. Such intelli-
gent birds as rocks will pick UP and
eat poisoned grain. and crows and
ravens readily eat poisoned eggs or
meat.
Chickens win eat the poisonous
seeds OF the laburnum and die from
the effects. Whether birds such as
tits and greenfnehes ever do SO does
not seem to be known But wild birds
are frequently found dying in gardens.
though apparently they have been IN
good health a few hours before, and |
their death may probably be due to
the consumption Of poisonous seeds.
