HEART (N. TRADE.

The Experience of a Man Who Falled Honestly aad Was Helped to His Feet. fyen triut has its romances. The other

day some merchants who have grown gray

in the pursuitof the practical and material were swapping stories of their experiencas,

Said one, now a millionaire:

**While I was still attending school, my father was compelled to suspend business. He and another wan owned a mill up in New England and a little retail dry goods store in Brooklyn. My father attended to the mill and his partner to the retail busi- ness. One day my father learned that his partner had absconded after raising all the money he could on the firm’s name. My father came to New York, and found that after using every dollar’ he’ had an-the world he would still owe $300. He turned bis assets over to his creditors, borrowed the €300 neeessary to pay his creditors dollar for dollar and went to work on a salary. After several years of hard work he paid back the $300, and was free from debt once more,

‘‘At that time my father was’ superin- tendent of a big Sunday school in Brook- ln. One of the women who took an in- terest in the school was an old maid who had known my father for years. She knew about his experiences, and was determined that he should be independent again. So she went to half a dozen leading members of the church and told them she wanted to borrow some money to start dad in busi- ness again. All responded cheerfully, and one day my father was surprised at a visit from the woman.

‘“**Mr, ——,’ she said, ‘here is $1,600 with which you are going to start in busi- ness for yourself.’ Naturally my father was startled. ‘Lord bless you, Miss ——,’ he said, ‘I can’t take that. Besides, I do not want to go into business again. I am sat- isfled aslam’ ‘Tiere is the money,’ she replied, ‘and you are going into business. Now, don’t delay about it.’ The old man atill demurred, but she insisted, and after awhile she got his consent to use the money. That was the foundation of our present business. Father opened a little dry goods store and I left school to help him. ‘Two years later father went to one of the men who had contributed toward his capital and handed him the $300 he had advanced. ‘What's that for?’ he asked. ‘Why, that is the money you gave Miss —— to start me in business,’ said dad. ‘Nonsense,’ saidhe. ‘You don’t owe me anything, old man. Eliza came to me and asked me for $300, and I gave it to her. If she had asked for $1,000, she would have got it just as quick. I made no record of it, and I don’t want it.’ ‘You have got to take it,’ said dad. ‘Now, please, don’t,’ said he; ‘it will upset all my bookkeeping.’ Father insisted, though, and finally had his way. Most of his other creditors talked the same way, but all had to givein. Within a week back came the money with letters, asking father to give the money to the poor if he did not want to use it himself. I am glad to say we have been able to return some of the kind- bess sbown us then.’’—-New York Sun.

English Comments on America.

Some amusing stories illustrating Eng- lish ignorance of American affairs are told by a London resident who is at bome in literary and political circles.

Ata literary reception Mr. Lowell was referred to as one of the masters of Amer- ican poetry, who had never seemed capable of doing anything else.

‘I think you are wrong,’’ said one ina critical tone. ‘‘Mr. Lowell wrote several books which were well worth reading.’’

‘‘What are they?’’ asked the first com- mentator on American literature.

‘**The Autocrat’ and the other ‘ Break- fast Table Books,’ ’’ was the serene reply.

As every one in the group, looked wise 4

and Mnocc.t, iwAvas “Tee 2 2 bes tne Mvai claims of Dr. Holines to the authorship of those ‘‘ breakfast Table Books’’ were not suspected.

A graduate of an English university was amazed by a reference to tho American civil war which was casually made in con- versation at a ciubhouse.

‘When did it take piace?’’ he asked. ‘‘I had supposed that there had been no fight- ing in America since George Washing- ton’s revoluticn in the time of George mi.

He had read for a degree atan English university and had traveled crtensively on the continent and in the far east, but had never heard of the greatest civil conflict of ancient or mudern times!—Youth’s Com- panion.

The Delicious Guinea Pig.

We do not yet appreciate the tailless cavy asian article of human food. In France they sell them for rabbits, and there are three farms in thiscountry where they are reared and which export them to France, one farmer alone exporting over 150,000 of the little beasts. The flavor of the meat is said to be identical with that of rabbit meat. These animals need constant at- tention to keep them out of mischief, as they are little demons to fight, and they have a habit of chewing up whatever frag- ments they find scattered about till they die of gastric congestion. In their habits they are subject to unaccountable panics, and often rush about squeaking, and then huddle together quietly for the rest of the day. They are very prolific, and the young are not blind like the young of the rabbit, and often when only two days old, it is said, will eat grass and sop.

On the farm they are fed on sop made of milk and stale but not sour bread, along with green stuff, barley and hay. In guinea pig farming, as in quail farm- ing. it is admitted that large profits are made—due no doubt to the fact that there is so little competition. Probably the rab- bit you so much enjoyed at your hotel din- ners when touring in France was simply the humble cavy dressed up.—Chambers’ Journal,

Kedroom Closets.

The sleeping room that hasn’t a closet should have a corner cupboard. Get some tf the iron brackets that sell for 10 or 15 tents a pair and have some wide boards eut to fit the corner. Put up two or three shelves, according to height, and on the bottom of the lowest nail cleats into which to sorew the hooks to hang your gowns upon. Fit« board te the corneron the floor and have a narrow board or molding tacked to the front edge. This is for shoes. Hang a curtain from the edge of the top shelf, making it long enough to reach quite to the floor and full enough to hang in graceful folds. This is the best substi- tute fora closet we know of unless you can afford a wardrobe. Denim, figured or plain, makes a good drapery. Get it to correspond with the color of the room.

Why She Couldn't.

‘No, I didn’t have a very good time,”’’ she said. ‘‘I wanted to talk, and there wasn’t a man there.’’

‘*But there were plenty of other girls.’’

‘Oh, of course, but that was no satisfao- tion, for they all wanted to talk toa. —Chi- éago Poss.
