the manufacturer ample profit, selling It to

though 1t finishes the goods at a cost Of LIT
cents. The jobber adds 20 per cent, laying
down the curtain scrim to the department
store at 12k cents. The retailer charges the
American housewife 10 TO 20 cents. More than
likely he advertises it as IMPORTED and
sells it for the top price, because the tariff
is so high that the genuine imported goods
cannot be sold for less. 1t costs just ~ much

AN ENGLISH BLIZZARD.
Il Took a Regiment of Soldiers &c
Clear the Roads In 1886.

Il Took a Regiment of Soldiers 60
Clear the Roads In 1886.
There was certain Hercules en-
CINE which cut a noble figure in the
English blizzard of 1886.
To appreciate the role played by
the Hercules some idea must be
given of the effect of the storm on
other methods of travel. Fourteen
mail coaches were abandoned on as
many roads. Another was dug out
of drifts five times between Exeter
and London.
Another was buried so deep that
it took 800 men, principally sappers
and miners, several hours to make a
passage to the coach and rescue the
mails and passengers, while near
Chatham the snow lay to depth of
thirty or forty feet, the military be-
ing turned out to the number OF
600 to clear the way.
In London the drifts were ten
feet deep, and hundreds of men and
carts were employed hauling snow
cut to the fields in the suburbs. The
markets were in a bad way. One
day only four stall holders were
able to reach main market. Greens
which few DAYS before the storm
were being sold for threepence a
bunch at market now fetched from
tenpence to a shilling, turnips, car
rots and celery becoming equally
dear, while penny handfuls of pars-
lev realized 2s. Cd, and the happy
possessor of bunch which he had
previously purchased for ninepence
realized for his prize no less sum
than f1 2s. Sd.
Amid all this confusion the pio-
neer railways covered themselves
with glory by running trains almost
without interruption. There was q
deep cutting on one line where the
snow had drifted badly, and great
numbers of people turned out to
see how the Hercules engine would
get along. They imagined, of course
that she would be stopped, but to
their establishment the engine dash
ed right into the drift, clearing
her way through apparently with
out the slightest difficulty, the snow
at the same time flying over the toy
of the engine chimney like foam
from the broken waves of violen
sea, and Notwithstanding obstruc
tons the train came down from
Greenhead twenty niles in on'
hour and a quarter" = Londol

tiers are nearly always the stumbling
block. The most frequent are @

used for these letters. When q

about so common a letter as G his
case soon becomes hopeless. Anoth-
er form of cramp attacks the re-
ceiver of the message. 1t takes the
form of inability to write fast
enough to take down a message
quickly transmitted. This is easily
understood when it Is remembered
that a receiver often has to write
continuously to code dictation, so TO
