Staking Bargain -with a beat. I got a bill from a boarding-
Sotcman.
The following anecdote illustrates the
fact that the man who is asked to do an
imusual thing will expect much more
pay than for doing a usual thing that
costa him several times the troubl.
Solite years ago,• before the sale of game
was legalized, and a present of it was
thought worth the expense of crriage,
an Englishman rented a moor within 20r.
miles of Inverness. Wishing to send
ten -brace box of grouse to his friends UT
the South, he directed a servant to call
sport Donald Fraser (who owned a horse
and cart, and made a liyelihood by
tiriving peats into the town), and asked
kim what he would charge for taking
the box to Inverness. Donald would
not take it under eight shillings. The
gemand was thought so unreasonable
that the gentleman complained to a
Scotchman who was shooting with him.
The Seotchman replied that he (the
Englishman) did not understand hour to
bargain with the natives, and that one
of them approached in the right way
would do the • job for much less. Cal-
ling Donald, he held the following con-
versation:
"Good morriin', Donaid ! What's the
price o' peats the noo ?"
"Juist auchteen pence the load, sir."
"Very: weel, „ye can teak' a load into
my hoose in Inverness the first thing the

"Fil dae that, an' thank ye, sir."

over $125 against him. I visited hfm
several times and found he kept his
salary overdrawn. At last I scraped up
an acquaintance with his steady com-
pany, and one day I was talking to her
when he came Up. That settled it. The
next day the bill was paid. We often

What Becomes of the Dead
Letters.
A correspondent of the Philadelphia
Reeord gives the following interesting
account of the disposition made by the
Dead Letter Office of part of its accumulations:
"The gross receipts of undelivered

more than 8 per cent. increase over the
previous year. Of course, the office
manages, by its improved methods, to
get muck of the matter either to the
people who mailed it or to the people
for whom it was intended. But there is
a large amount that never gets any
further than the city of Washington.

'em. At this crossing I had never seen
a train at this time of the night, and so
I rounded the curve out of the cut full
tilt. I was astonished to see the target
set against me, though I had time
enough to stop. But it was down grade
there, and the track was very slippery, and

"From whom do you get these bills ?" tending to put a few cars on our switch.
He glanced at it, reachedin his pocket,
drew forth a pocket -book, and handed
several bills over to the collector. Then
ke ordered that individual to leave his
office and turned about to his desk.
The scene occurred in a well-known
commission man's office. The collector
smilingly departed. During all the ex-
citement of the debtor he had stood his
ground manfully, and did not seem in
asked the reporter.
"Almost everybody. From the doc-
tors, the dentists, the grocers, the dry
goods dealers; in fact, from all classes
of men. You see, they attempt to col-
lect them and find it unprofitable. After
being put off se-v-eral time i and making
a dozen trips, only to not find him at
home, the owner of the bill comes to
me and is glad to realize one-half, which
is generally my fee for collecting. As
goon as I look at the bill I almost al-
ways know how much work there is in
it for me. And then I know so many
men who are bad pay that I often get a
bill and -knew just how to collect it.
You see, there are different trieka in
the trade,and a man has to know what
is the proper one to work. For instance,
this old fellow I just left is intensely
proud, and is anxious to be thought
richer than he is. r knew at once if I
threatened to stand before his door with
a bill in my hand it weuld touch a ten
der spot, and, you see, the money came
very easily. It's like hulling chestnuts.
If you get at 'em too early you are sure
to get your fmgers full of pricklers ; •but
let the frost get its work in and the nuts
dropout themselves."
What are the attributes of a good
collector ?".
" Sagacity, self-assurance and a know-
ledge of human nature. Without the
latter you are no good on earth. Now,
if I had approached, some men the way
I did that one, I would have been kicked
out of the office and got laughed at for
threatening to stand outside until he:
paid me. With some you must act the
gentleman, with others the bully; some
you can scare out di a bill, while others
you must coax or work it out through
strategy. The hardest men to collect
from are those who have plenty and can
afford to fight you in the courts; the
easiest are those engaged on salaries,
who- are afraid of losing • their places.
The one can and will not; the other is
willing but can not; and the latter
often atints himself and strains every
nerve to pay up. It is strange what
poor economists some persons are."
"Is there any class of bills harder to
collect than others?"
Yes, indeed. The man who ctwes a
whisky Jell is a holy terror to collect
from. Nat come the doctor bills, and
the tobacco bills. Livery bills are also
slow ones. Sometimes when we find a
person working on a salary who treats
U8 shabbily, or whose employer does, we
garnishee his wages. doing it through
some Justice in a distant'. OA of the
county.. The young man gets as scared
as his employer gets savage, and the bill
is paid. There are hundreds of little
trieks, though, and all of them more or
less good,toaid in collecting a bill.

I wish I could tell you what my
thoughts were at this time. I gave the
danger whistle, and tried to stopmy
train, but I had seven heavy sleepers on
and we just slid down that grade spite
of everything I cbuld do_ Notv comes
the surprising part of my Story. Quick-
er than I clin tell you, the brakeman on
that freight train uncoupled a car just
back of our crossing and signalled his
engineer to go ahead, which he did
sharply, but barely in time to let us
through. In fact, the pilot of my en-
gine took the buffer off that rear car.
Through that little hole w9 slipped, and
lives and property were saved. Now,
that brakeman was only a common rail-
roader, yet he saw that situation at a
glance. There wasn't time to run his
whole train off the crossing, nor even
half of it—barely time to pnll one car -
length by prompt, quick work. He kept
his wits about him as I venture to say
not one in a thousand would have done,
and saved my reputation, if not my life.
He is now a division superintendent on
one of the best roads in this country;
and maygood luck go with him.

A Home Atmosphere.
Balza,c, that close and keen observer,
somewhere says, "You may judge of a,
woman by the vestibule of her house."
This matter of atmosphere is a great
matter. If every individual has per-
vading and surrounding him an atmos-
phere appropriate and 'peculiar to him-
self, much more is this true of every
home. That iinpalpable something
which every one feels but no one sees,
that assimilating element, to which we
yield as a matter of course, which we
breathe, and which becomes a force in
our life so long as we are in it—every
home has this.
There are certain elements which are
essential to a pure and happy home at-
mosphere.
The first is law. Without law, order,
duty, subjection, a home is no more
possible than a nation. Horne life means
united life. And law is one of the
strongest of uniting, • binding forces.
Law in home life need not be loudly -pro-
claimed. Nature does not advertise her •
laws on the faces of the rocks. Yet
how unfailing they are. There must be
• obedience in home life, the yielding of
one will to another, the yielding of each
will in some degree to each other. There
must be the ordedy working of forces.
Again, there must be liberty in the
home. Brit • remember, there must be
liberty not only for one but for every
member of the household. Take the
full benefit of the home comforts. Al-
low some freedom in the disposition of
little things, of fragments of time.
" Everything in its place," " everything
in its time," are good mottoes; but
don't have too many places, too many
time's. Don't iltig the bell every fifteen
minutes to tell the servants what to do
next. Forgive Paterfamilias if he
• throws his whiskbroom in the bureau,
and forgets to use that ingeniously vex
atious embroidered holder. Oh, forgive
the boys if they come tramping in with
their thick boots over the best carpet
If you must have -a tall jar standing on
the floor, perhaps you need not place it
in the rut' Iciest postible situation. Let
• the dictionary and encyclopedia lie open;
if they are bulky and far from orna-
mental. Let the study door stand open
sometimes, gentle sir! and let the chil-
dren tumble about atnong the books.
In short, let not that atmosphere of
• squareness and pettiness get into your,
pretty, happy home..
A third element that is necessary to
• a healthy home atmosphere is something
which is not easily set before us in one
word. Outflow and influx, interchange
with other homes, ventilation—these
things are essential. The air of your
•home will surely lose vitality if you shut
it up to itself. 'The family whose prayer
is, Bless ma and my wife, my sonHans
and his wife, us four and no more," is
not a happy nor a healthy family.
Social life, with its opportunities for
love and forgivness, for delicate con-
sideration of • others and setting
aside of self, iS a moral force that
ought not to be lacking in the home.
The children are gainers in many wkys
in the home when hospitality is frequent
and free. Open the door of your home
to others, and lend yourself sometimes
to other homes. It will do no harm to
the best housekeeper to see occasionally
howother people do things. The wife
is never lovelier in her husbands eye
than when he hasibeen in the society of
• other women, and discovered how hum-
drum and uninteresting- they are. The
husband is nevei more admired by his
wife than when she compares him with
other men. "Your -papa and mamma
are very nice," says wee Dais, politely,
after a visit, "but you mnst come to
• my house and see my papa and mam-
ma."
Catarrh—a New Treatment.
• Perhaps the most extraordinary success that
has been achieved in modern medicine has been
attained by the Dixon Treatment for Catarrh.
Out of 2,000 patients treated during the past six
months, hilly ninety per cent, have been -cured
of this stubborn maltri y. This is none the less
startling when it is r membered that no five per
cent. of patients prsenting themselves to the
regular practitioner are benetitted, while the
patent medicines and other advertised cures
never record a mire at all. Starting- with the
claim now generally believed by the most scien-
tific men that the disease is due to the presence
of living parasites in the tissue, Mr. Dixon at
once adapted his cure to their extermination—
ehis accomplished, he claims the Catarrh is prac-
tically cured, and the permanency is unquestion-
td, as cures effected by him four years ago are
cures still. No one else - has ever attempted to
cure Catarrh -in this manner, and no other treat!
ment has ever oured Catarrh. The application
of the remedy is simple, and can be done at
home, andthe present season of the year is the
moat favorable for, a ispeedy and permanent cure,
the majority of cake being ourerl at one treat-
ment. Sufferers should correspond with Messrs.
