A QUEER PROPOSAL.
It Came Tardily, but 1i Wasa Model in its Brevity, and so was the Answer.
An aristocratic young lady of Madge-
burg, Germany, had spent some time at
the country-seat of her uncle, and a young cavalier from Berlin had been paying much attention to her. Every-
body thought that it would bea gool match for both, and affairs went on swimmingly, until the day drew near when the young lady was to return home. The nearer the day came the more disappointed were the young miss and her mother at the failure of the young man to ask the all-important question. Finally, they lefé their relatives’ house in great dismay, and just before leaving the young lady remarked to her uncle that it probably was as well for both, a3 her mother had not much use for such a | **chicken-hearted son-in-law.’’ ‘hey left
on a train on the narrow-gauge rail- way, connecting the valley with the
nearest tuwn.
After they had gone the young man orestioned the uncle why the young lady had gone away so angry and hardly noticed him when bidding gocd-by. The uncle, a bluat ex-soldier, repeated the remark made by his niece when leaving, to the young man, who was touched to the quick by the insinuation of cowardice contained therein. He was very much in leve with the lady, and had abstained from broaching the subject on account of his not considering it proper to propose anywhere but at the young lady’s home, which he intended visiting before long.
This remark, however, roused his sense of honor, and, without saying another
i word, he mounted his horse, which hap- pened to stand ready for an outing, and galloped after the train., which had left
a quarter of an hour before. Owing to | benign Providence, and the management of this country railroad, he caught the train before it had reached the next sta- tion, Karow; ho spied the young Jady at | the window of a first-class compartment, and riding up to the train before it came to a full stop, almost shouted, breathlessly: ‘‘My dear Miss—-—, I ask for your band. Yes or no?’
In the station Karow, just as the train arrived, a ‘‘Yes’’ was joyfully given by { the young Miss and tearfully approved
by her mamma.
The Value of Poultices,
Most ills are vastly helped, and some are wholly cured, by the simplest reme- dies. Among these poultices stand at the head of the list. Nearly everyone is ac- quainted with their worth when local in- flammatory conditions are recognized. Who has not had at some time in his life a ‘‘festered’’ finger or a boil? and what more quickly relieved the pain than the soft, warm poultice’ In deep-seated in- flammation, such as in affections within the chest or the abdomen, poultices are of inestimable servica, In pneumonia a poultice like a jacket is often placed about the sufferer. So too, in bronchitis, ‘‘catarrh of the breast’’ so called, and so common among infants, the poultice is valled into service, The easiest way to make such a poult'ce is to spread the moist mixture, whatever it may be, upon an under vest. Split open the vest, so the spreading ean be done smoothly and quickly. Pin it together with safety pins closely about the patient, and cover the vest all over with a jacket of oiled silk. If this cannot be procured use oil-cloth of any kind. The reason why a poultice necls covering is to keep it warm and moist. ‘The only way to accomplish this is by placing over the poultice a substance which is both impervious to air and moist- ure, No matter what the poultice is to be usa to relieve, nor where it is to be ap- plied, it must be kept warm all the time or it does no possible good. If one is so situated that even oil-cloth is beyond reach, cither fill a bottle with bot water and place it on the poultice, or heat an iron and place against it if a pendant part like the hand or foot is poulticed.
A Champagne Wake.
The dead man had been a great cham- pagne drinker all his life, and, having a comfortable fortune, determined that his demise should be baptized in wine. A week before his death he telegraphed for two cf his most intimate friends, one in Cleveland and the other in Cincinnati, to be the watchers at his bedside from the day of h.s death to the hour of his funeral and made both promise to drink nothing but champagne during the wake. Well, they did as he requested. Beside the coffin they sat for three days, with a dozen cases of the finest wine close at hand, and when the day of the funeral arrived the room was filled with empty bottles. One hottle, a magnum, was placed in the coffin to be buried with the departed. It is said that the friends could not bear to see a full bottle buried, so they sent an empty one into the grave just to fool the corpse! Not having char ge! their linen for three days of wake and drunk, they went hurriedly to a hotel to put themselves in trim for the funeral. When they started back to the house they found that they were lost. After wandering here and there for an hour they stopped a wise-looking cabby and asked it he knew where their depart- ed bost Lived, to which he made reply that he was not sure, but if they would take a stroll up Prairie avenue till they came to tho first house with crape on the door and a funeral outside, it ‘‘would be the place they was a-lookin’ fur!’’ Fortunately, they arrived too late for the funcral, but there was plenty of wine left, and in it they found cousolation.
The Art of Selling.
That goods will not sell themselves is an opinion well advanced by Ironmongery. You may be the best of buyers—and that is half the accomplishment of a good man of business—but that will not be suffi- cient unless you are a master of the art of selling goods. A good shop, a bright shop, and a well-arranged shop are also neces- sary in the making up of a good business, They help the selling, but they wlil not do it all. Goods well hought, and these other desiderata, are like the paints and brushes in a studio, They are necessary to ‘the work of making the picture, but it needs the artist’s talent to use them and produce the desired result. Many persons enter a shop—attracted by advertisements or window display, or perhaps from mere curiosity—and are received coldly, and made to feel more like interlopers than friends, if the cause of their entry is sharp- ly and abruptly demanded. The art of selling partly lies in understanding just how to treat different classes of customers. The successful salesman must study so as to learn ali about the goods he has to sell —something of their manufacture.and all about their uses and value. But, after all, he must study human nature, and have regard for varying likes and dislikes, opinions and prejudices. Such knowledge, with tact in ite application, will teach the salesman how to adapt himself to his dif- ferent classes so as to give the greatest satisfaction to all, and that means getting as much business as possible from all,

Ceunterfeits
A few years agoagreat discovery was made.
Ueprincipled persons are trying to prey upon and dupe people who are led to ask for kidney treatment.
Some of the methods adoptee by imitat- ors are as follows:
First—To imitste the size, color and shaye of Dodd’s Kidney Pilis and sell them by count.
Second—To put them up to appearjvery neauly the same and to be offered at the same price.
Third—To hook on the work “kidoey” in naming cathortic pills so as to increase sales of mere physic.
Fourth—To givea name so near to Dodd’s that unwary people may be deceiv- ed and think they are getting Dodd’s.
Look out for such dodges. When “you want kidney medicine you want the be-t. And oughe not to. be the subject for any trick.
So beware.

INDUSTRIES IN JAPAN
VARIOUS PRODUCTS EXPORTED AT VERY LOW PRICES.
a Cheap Rugs Made by CSP lren---The Japs as Paper-Makers, Rice and Tobacco Grow- ers- -Meat, as a Food, is Seldom Used— Their Foreign Commerce. People marvel at the cheapness of the Jacanese rugs Which have been thrown vou the market in such quantities during
the lass two or thre> years. ‘The secret of it is that they are madein Japan, and the laberers employed in their manufac- ture are children, This is a new industry in the Empire of the Mikado, and the center of it is the city of Osaga. The
carpets are of all patterns and of every length and width. Many of them are most excellent imitations of Turkish and Egyptian rugs. The materials employed e hemp und cotton,
Yhe United States Consul at Osaka siys ina letter addressed te the Depart- ment of State, that ail of these carpets are made by children. In the low-studded and gloomy ruoms of the Japanes3 houses troops of Jiitle boys and girs work at this dusty trade all day long. The little workmen and workwomen are almost nude, the standard of modesty in Japan being different from that which is accept- ed in the United States, even for grown people. The workers get froin 3 cents to 10 cents a day, which is pretty good pay in the Orient. Wages vary with the inteli- gence and aptitude of the young em- ployes Most of the rugs and carpets whieh they make go to the United States. In 1534, $927,009 worth of them were imporied into that country,
Within the last few years the Japanese have become great paper-makers. The paper they inanufacture is the very best on the market for fine typographica’ prints and engravings. It is very strong, turned to a surprising variety of uses. It is made from the best of three species of plants chiefly, which are known as ‘‘mitsumata,’’ ‘*kozo,’’ and ‘‘gampt”’ ‘these plants grow on poor soil that is unsuitabie for other purposes, and for this reason paper-growing is important to the agricultural interests of several large districts. From paper, the Japan- ese make rich imitations of leather for walls, as well as heavy oil-papers, which to an extent serve as a substitute for oil- cloth. It is said that the consumption of paper is the measure of the civilization of a people, and so it meaus something to say that the Japanese use about 59,- 000,000 pounds of paper annually for their own purposes
The consumption of tobacco in Japan is enorm.us. In that country the women, as Well us the men, are great smokers. The tobacco is light yellow in color and has a sweet taste. Owing to the cheap- ness of labor in the fivids, it is sold ata low price, and a good deal of it is export- ed to England, Heng-Kong and the United S ates. Cotton-growing is a rapid- ly developing industry in Japan. Textlie manufactures are being turned out ata great rate in the Mikado’s realm. Indian cotton fabrics can no longer compe e with the Japanese. The Japanese imitate all Kuroepean novelties and improve- ments, Foreign machinery has no protec tion there against patent infringements. Even Europe is ous of the race as to tex- tiles. Good cotton undershirts are sold in Japan for 84 cents a dozen, and cotton umbrellas are on the market at $2.60 a dozen.
Lately Japan has gone into the manu- facture of matches, and this industry also has attained great importance, owing to the low prices at which the product is seh British India, China and Corea are using Japanese matches almost exclusive- ly. In 1894, $3,795,624 worth of them were exported from Japan.
Meat is little used for food in Japan, and it is eaten only in the military ser- vice. Only in recent years have oxen been killed for food, though hitherto they have been employed largely as draft animals. During 1894 only 20,316 meat cattle, horses, 5,468 hogs and 443 sheep were slaughterei for food in Tokio, the capital city, Which has 1,300,000 in- habitants Sheep do not prosper in Jap- an, and the few hundreds killed annually for foreigners are all imported from China
The staple war food of the Japanese is rice, Whica is compressed into small com- pass after being cooked. When re-cooked by the soldiers in the field it expands to four times its compressed bulk. If no conveniencss for cooking are handy, it muy be cut up and eaten without further treitment. Inthe rations of Japanese soldiers, dried fish and canned meats are important clements. While the Japanese at large are vegetarians, the soldiers eat meat regularly, and at every garrison town in Japan cattle are slaughtered for the soldiers. The Japanese can their own salmon, and this fish is furnished to th: suldiers when they are at home. People in that country are extremely fond of pickles, and in this shape they prepare all sorts of vegetables, particularly a kind of turnip that has the shape of a radish and grows to a lengih of three fect. The culture of peppermintin Japan has great- ly increased in late years, owing to the demand for peppermint oil and menthol crystals, Gern.auiy is the principal buyer.
The foreign commerce of Japan in 1894 exceeded that of 1893 by 30 per cent., reaching 3250, 000,000. ‘The exports of tea from Yokohama alone exceeded those of the preceding year by 1,001,000 pounds. Tie outbreak of the war with China brought an unexpected demand for tea from the United States and Canada, probably on account of a notion that the conflict would be likely to interfere with shipme nts.
