DEAR GOODS

The pictures of Island fruit in the
Paradise for May are so fine they make
us all fruit hungry. Why does not
someone go in for raising alligator
pears, miles of them; for they are so
nigh-priced now none but the rich can
think of buying. Fancy decent pear,
only a couple for a quarter, when we
have been told a whole tree is sold for
few dollars on Hawaii, for instance.
For PHYS sake will some one go into
the industry, and give us pears at some
sort of fair price. We cannot afford to
eat money and we like pears.

Woman a HousewrecSer.

Mrs, Mccullough, Housewrecker,s
Is the title that has been won by &
frail little woman, past middle age
who lives in New Brunswick, an6
whose laundering for rough labor
frequently leads to her donning male
attire and doing work that would test
the strength and endurance of hard
ened man. For many years a ramb
ling two-story brick and frame
building, the title to which has long
been unclaimed, stood at 81 Division
street, Receiving permission from
the tax authorities to do as she
pleased with the house, Mrs. McCul
Tough, who weighs but 1877 pounds,
completely demolished the ancient
structure in few hours hard work
with an axe and crowbar. That she
might not be hampered in her labor
she wore trousers and mans coat
When Mrs. Mccullough had finished
the task she invited the entire neigh
borhood to lay in store of firewood
and it was not long before every
home was we'll supplied. Before go
ing to New Brunswick Mrs. McCul-
Tough lived on a farm and had a
countrywide fame as a wood cutter.

A Truthful Answer.


He was a beggar, with old, worn
clothes, unwashed face, unkempt hair
and unbrushed shoes. He waded up
to the counter of bank in Lombard
street, and told, between his sobs,
tears, groans and signs, how his stom-
ach yearned for bite of bread A
sympathetic clerk drew forth a new
and shining threepenny bit, which he
laid kindly and gently into the beg
gar's quivering and blackened hand.
Now, my poor friend, what do
you propose to do with that money!"
seriously inquired the generous clerk.
The beggar looked down at his
soiled and tattered garments. He
scanned his benefactor curiously for
moment, and then, in tremulous
tone, said:
Young man, you see me as | am,
wearing the habiliments of an out
cast. Yet I am honest, and l will
give you truthful answer. shall
first go and buy me good dinner,
then / will take a bath and have a
shave and hair cut, and mayhap after
that adorn this handsome form with a
new suit of clothes. If there is any
of it left after that I shall, upon my
word, come back and deposit in the
bank. / am exceedingly obliged.
Good day. It'd Bits.

Wool.


Wool is raised extensively in all
parts of the United States, including
Wall Street. 1t is used as a garment
for wolves and to adjust over peoples
eyes. In Wall Street wool takes the
form of fleece and is highly priced as
a protection for both bulls and bears,
who are often too thinly clad for their
own comfort. Thus the tender lamb
is glad to help out its brothers in dis
tress. The shearing hours are from
10 to 3.
Wool is obtained from sheep that
we remember to have seen in oil
paintings dotting the landscape. Dot
ting the landscape is, however, not an
occupation in itself, but is only a
means toward an end. Most of it
is imported to other countries, but
occasionally traces of it are found
in our domestic wooden underwear.
The phrase All wool and yard
wide" was invented before the mod
ern laundryman. Since his advent it
has been revised to ."All wool and
three inches wide. /"
Sheep are very simple in their hap-
kits, and although they never use hair
tonics, or wash or dress their hair
every night before going to bed, they
seldom become bald or obliged to sit
in the front row. Their name is also
Always the same, so they are not like
'ly to get lost. When we say sheep
we simply mean lot of Sleeps gath

1t Made a Difference.

A Chinaman of noble birth had
been invited to dine at Williams
home. His mother was very anxious
that the guest should not be made
uncomfortable by the little chaps
curiosity, so she took him aside and
explained all about the yellow skin,
long braid of hair and almond eyes
of the Mongolians, and even showed
him pictures of Chinese. She inn
pressed upon him more than anything
else the fact that the visitor was his
fathers friend and was to be treated
with respect. Upon the Celestial's
arrival, William tried hard not to
stare or to look too curious, and sue
ceeded in being very quiet for some
time, when, much to the surprise of
his mother and the amusement of the
Chinese, he called out; Mamma,
if he wasn't our friend, wouldn't he
be funny ?"-Bellman.

White House Creeds.

In the past generation, or since the
time of Grant, the Methodists and the
Presbyterians have been far more
represented than all the other de-
nominations put together in the
White House, and among Presiden-
tial candidates. Grant, Hayes and
Mckinley were credited to the Meth
odists, and Tilden, Blaine, Cleveland,
Harrison and Bryan to the Presby-
terians; Greeley was Universalist,
although various kinds of eccentric
ethical and religious ideas were at
tributed to him; Garfield was of the
Complexities, and once had been a
preacher among them; Arthur had
Episcopalian affiliations, and Roose-
welt is of the Dutch Reformed
Church. Chicago Journal.

Sophia Island and Nassau Island, both
