RuskIn as a Grocer.

Ruskin was once grocer. In 1874
he opened shop In Paddington
street. Noting Hill, in order, as he
announced, ito supply the poor with
pure tea In packets as small as they
chose to buy, without making a profit
on the subdivision, large orders being,
of course, equally acceptable from
anybody who cares to promote honest
dealing" The shop did not attract.
Ruskin complained in Fors Clavigera
that the poor only like to buy their
tea where It is brilliantly lighted and
eloquently ticketed, and as resolute-
ly refuse to compete with my neigh
boring tradesmen either in gas or rhet-
oric, the patient subdivision OF my
parcels passes little recognized as an
advantage by my uncalculating pub
lie" The shop soon closed down and
the grocery trade lost the most dis.

Missed a Train That Wa. Dav ~.

Missed Train That Was a Day late.
When the Swift City division of the
Illinois Central was built it was known
as the Indiana and Illinois Southern.
1t was a narrow gauge road; the road
bed was bad, the engines and cars
were built on a miniature scale, and,
while there was a schedule, had a train
been on time the fact would have been
regarded as miracle. The road was
known as the 'Try-Weakly." On one
occasion Josiah Mcconnell desired to
go to Switz City from Sullivan, but
missed the train by minute or two.
The clock at the station showed that
the train had left Sullivan FIVE min
utes ahead of time, and Mcconnell
sued the railroad company for $4,000
damages. On a trial of the case it was
proved beyond doubt that the train
Mcconnell missed should have gone the
day before and was really twenty
three hours and ffty-fve minutes late.

Reuben Pinkham. q native of Nan
tucket. made his first trip as third lieu
tenant on the ship Potomac. which
crossed the north Pacific. region lit
tie known to naval vessels in the early
thirties. Pinkham had been on sew
eral whaling voyages and was famil-
lar with those waters. The author of
"The Island of Nantucket says that
one day. near sunset. he had the
watch. while the commodore was pac-
ing up and down the deck
Suddenly Pinkham gave the order.
Man the weather braces
What's that for?" asked the com
modore.
1--WE shall have wind in a moment
The commodore went IT, &c lee rail
and scanned the sea and = Y. Il see
no signs of wind" he returned Let
the men leave the braces"
The crew dropped the ropes.
Keep hold of the braces. every man
Of you" called out Pinkham. and the
men resumed their grasp. The com
modore flushed with anger and ex-
claimed in peremptory tones:
Let the men leave the braces" and
again the braces were dropped.
Don't any of you dare to drop the
ropes" shouted Pinkham shaking his
trumpet at the crew, who once more
took hold. Just then the wind dropped
entirely; not a breath stirred.
''Taut. taut! Haul, all Of you" call
ed Pinkham, and the ponderous yards
swung to reversed position. The wind
came out of the opposite quarter and
struck the ship like a sledge hammer.
The vessel staggered, shook the spray
from her bows and dashed ahead The
commodore disappeared into his cabin
without saying word.
Presently he sent the first lieutenant
to relieve Pinkham, requesting to see
the latter Immediately When Pink
ham entered the cabin the commodore
said:
81 consider that I am indebted to you
for all of our lives, but will tell you
frankly if that wind hadn't come I
should have put you in irons In two
Minutes"
