During the summer and the autumn large stores of Persian kishmish of a superior quality were accumulated in Bateom, and the article is now in de- mand in the foreign market.

Most of the school sketches and MSS. by him. which were recently sold in London, have also found their way back to Charterhouse. —At the beginning of King Phillip’s War, in Colonial times. King Philip had a coat or cape made of bits of shells or wampum. This was considered of great value among the Indians all over New England, because each little shell-bead in it was in their eves a piece of money. Indeed, if a man of our day should have a coat made entirely of gold dollars strung upon threads and woven to- gether, it would have the same value to us that Phillip’s shell coat did to the Indians. But when the war began he bravely cut his precious garment in pieces and used the wampum to hire warriors of other tribes to fight for him. —The Hamburg Board of Trade, in its report for 1890, takes sides with the American pig thus: “We have always regarded as insufficient the testimony as to the unwholesomeness of American pork. We have been confirmed in this opinion recently by the results of the investigation of experts to the effect that the English laborer. with his diet of cheaper American pork, has numer- ous economic advantages over the Ger- man laborer, with his diet of more ex- pensive Continental pork. We have therefore willingly done as requested and have affixed our names to a petition for the abolishing of the prohibition of American pork.” —The chrysanthemum has a long his- tory, dating back. in Europe, to the year 1640, when it was brought into Holland from China, under the supposi- tion, afterward disproved, that it had valuable medical properties. The plant is native to China, Japan and Northern India, and the flower is the seal 6f Ja- pan. Hence it is often called Mikado Flower.” The Japanese annu- ally observe November 15 as “The Feast of Chrysanthemums. and in America nearly every city has a day for s chrysanthemum displa; fhe high favor in which the flower is held is due not only to its beauty of form and variety of color, but to its cheery readi- ness to prolong the summer and make brilliant the later days of autumn. m Tree.

New-Engianders Watch the Mercury Care- fully: If you really want to witness a beau- tiful and artistic duel of wordson the sub- ject of cold weather, you must geta man from Northera Vermont and aman from Northern New Hampshire to “swap” 9 weather experiments. Some objector will at once say, of course, that neither of these men knows as much about cold weather as their more northern neigh bor, the Canadian. But the implied in- ference that the Canadian could tall more eloquently about low temperatures than the citizens we have designated is. not founded on fact. For your Canadian is either soconstituted that cold weather weather to him, or else he is so chilled through by it that he won't talk about it, But whoever yet knew a Yankee who was not intimately ac quainted with all the possibilities of low temperature in his part of the state and was not willing to back the record of his thermometer against that of any other man? And talking about thermometers sug- gests the question, what do you know about the thermometer’s ant lents? Very little, probably. The thermome- ter, like the weather, is taken as a fact to be grumbled at, perhaps even to be denounced, but to be accepted, never- theless Boston has always claimed to turn out the best thermometers, though that claim is vigorously disputed by New York and Baltimore. About seventy years ago an old Scotchman gamed Pollock began the manufacture of fine thermometers in Boston. ‘Thomas Pool, an Englishman, BUCKEYE Force Pumps, FREEMAN'S DIAMOND BARB WIRE, Builders Hardware is not © Iron, Steel, Nails and Wagon Wood Work. was a rival to Pool had two brothers who came to this city and began to manufacture thermometers. The Pools were all skillful workmen, and they are entitled to the credit of HOW A DOG SOLD FLOWERS A Faithfal Four- His He was onl a very smart dog indeed. He to the class known as shepherd dogs, which are noted for their sagacity and fidelity. His master was a little Itatian boy zalled Beppo, who earned his living by selling flowers on the street Ton5 was very fond of Beppo, who bad betn bis master ever since he wasa pupr@ and Bepro had never failed to share hie crust with his goed dog. Now Tony had grown to be a large, strong dog, and took as much care of Beppo as Beppo took of him. Often, while standing on the corner with his basket on his arm, waiting for a cus- tomer, Beppo would feel inclined to cry from very oneliness; but Tony seemed to know when the ‘‘blues” came, and would lick hes master’s hand. as much as to say: “You've got me for a friend Cheer up! I'm better than nobody! I'll stand by you!” But one day it bappened that when the other boys who shared the dark cel- | lar home with Beppo went out early in the morning as usual, Beppo was so ill that be could bardly lift his head from the straw on which he slept He felt that he would be unable to sell flowers thatday. What to do he did not know. Tony did his best to comfort him; but the tears would gather in his eyes, and it was with the greatest difficulty that he at last forced himself to get up and go to the fi the usual supply of buds) Having filled his basket, the boy went home again and tied it around Tony’s neck. hen he looked at the dog and satd: “Now, Tony, you are the only fellow ve got todepend on. Goand sell my flowers for me, and bring the money home safe, and don’tiet ary one stgal any thing.” Then he kissed the dog and pointed to the door. Tony trotted out in the street to Bep- po’s usual corner, where he took his stand. Beppo's customers soon saw how matters stood, and chose their flowers and put the money in the tinenp within the basket. Now and then when arude boy would come along and try to snatch a flower from the basket, Tony would growl fiercely and drive him away. So that day went safely by, and at nightfall Tony went bome to his master, who was waiting anxiously to see him, ' and gave him a hearty welcome Beppo untied the basket and looked in the cup, and I shouldn't wonder ifhe found more money in it than he ever did before This is how Tony sold the rosebuds: and he did it so well that Beppo never tires of telling about it —Canedian Queen. —A frontier sheep-breeder, who has lost only one of his flock in seventeen years, reports that his exempt'on from the ravages of dogs and wolves is due to the use of bells, of which he has one fpr every fifth sheep He says: “I watched a wolf trying to get at them, and the way they rang those bells looks as if they fally appreciated them, and every time they rang off went his wolf- ship Another time a man told mea ave lots of mutton’ I did not wo —*0," says mamma to her husb.nd, “such good news!
