A LESSON IN MONBY SAVING. _—— A Reno Business Man Reads a San Francisco Drummer a Lecture. The Reno Gazette says: A drummer from a San Francisco printing house was in town a day or two ago telling Reno merchants how much they could ‘‘save” by getting their letter heads printed in San Francisco, He dropped into John Sunderland’s and gave bim the same ‘‘song and dance.” Mr. Sunderland listened to him ‘until he had finished and then he quietly said: ‘Your firm doing business in San Fraucisco never did and never will patronize me to the extent of one nickel, and while I may be ‘saving’ in one direction 1 will be the doser in the long run, The men publishing our home papers employ five and six men each, and they bave families, and when the baby wants a pair of skoea, or the father wants a necktie, suit of clothing, pair of boots, or anything in my line they may come into my store and make an occasional purchase, but if I should give you an order, I could not blame them if they should patronize somé San Francisco merchant, No, Sir, I gonclude that I would be losing money instead of making money by giving you an order, and 1 absolutely refuse.” © Good Morniog. If more of the business men would take the same view of'the matter that Mr. Sanderland does the town would be more prosperons.>~'The habit of ‘sending away. for everything you require, and giving foieign merchants preference over home merchants in ordet to “save” anickle and let $20 pitces roll by while doing it is not saving Anoney.

When one calla for a fresh egg in a Parisian eating house, the chances are that one will bo properly served. Not that there are no bad eggs in Paris as . well as elsewhere, but there are certain balles whose only duty to sift the bad. or Goabtful éges from the goéd‘onés. “In one of the ceHars of the halles one sees @ man passing his hands rapidly before his cyes and ia front of a lighted candle, Aronud him aré baskets containing thousands of eggs. His duty is to separate the bad ones from the good, and he is remunerated at the rate of 75 centimes, or 15 cents, for 1,000 eggs. He accomplishes” his work with ‘extraordinary dexterity. With one hand he takes three or four eggs and bring: them to the exact position he-wishes be tween his eye and the lighted. candle at’ if by magic. For an egg to be good the part that appears black must becom: pletely detached from the part that appears white.

Snake dealers in South America have venomous wares, though it is sometimes difficult to induce ship captains to carry them as freight. The enake dealers handls the boa constrictor with great deftness. This serpent bites, but his bite is not venomous, so that the chief danger to the handler is from the serpent’s enormously powerful muscles, The dealers have learzied that the boa, te be really dangerous, must have a fulcrum in the shapy of something around which be may coil his tail. e The boa is, in fact, a lever in which the’ ordinary arrangement is power, weight, fulcrum. Knowing this, the dealers drop a soft hat over hia head, that he may neither see nor bite, and theti ‘siatah “im” 46 suddenly from his resting place that he has no opportunity to brace himself by seizing a fixed object with his tail. After that the essential thitig is to see that he is not brought within distance of any such object. A snake dealer on a Brazilian steamer the other day was occupied in ‘trans: ferring his boas from one box to anoth; er. He opened the box an instant, dropped a hat over the head of pne of the creatures, snatched it from its fellows, and rushing across the deck dropped it into the other box, The thing ‘looked so easy. that.a.deck hand, waiting. until the snake owner’s back was turned, essayed to repeat the act. He neglected to use the hat, and with a yell yanked ‘a great siiuke from’ the box with-its fangs fixed in his fingers. Not daring to let go, yet fearing to hold on, he began whirling the snake about his head, meanwhile dancing madly over the deck. The snake man managed to capture the reptile and it.in security. Then somebody exft ‘conéern’ for the rash deck hand, te which the stake owner answered : ‘What, him? He’s all right. But think of my snake! It’s worth 20 of that mug !"’—New York Sun.

A LESSON IN MONBY SAVING. _—— A Reno Business Man Reads a San Francisco Drummer a Lecture. The Reno Gazette says: A drummer from a San Francisco printing house was in town a day or two ago telling Reno merchants how much they could ‘‘save” by getting their letter heads printed in San Francisco, He dropped into John Sunderland’s and gave bim the same ‘‘song and dance.” Mr. Sunderland listened to him ‘until he had finished and then he quietly said: ‘Your firm doing business in San Fraucisco never did and never will patronize me to the extent of one nickel, and while I may be ‘saving’ in one direction 1 will be the doser in the long run, The men publishing our home papers employ five and six men each, and they bave families, and when the baby wants a pair of skoea, or the father wants a necktie, suit of clothing, pair of boots, or anything in my line they may come into my store and make an occasional purchase, but if I should give you an order, I could not blame them if they should patronize somé San Francisco merchant, No, Sir, I gonclude that I would be losing money instead of making money by giving you an order, and 1 absolutely refuse.” © Good Morniog. If more of the business men would take the same view of'the matter that Mr. Sanderland does the town would be more prosperons.>~'The habit of ‘sending away. for everything you require, and giving foieign merchants preference over home merchants in ordet to “save” anickle and let $20 pitces roll by while doing it is not saving Anoney. Che Gazette is sorry to be obliged to say, however, that there are some” merchants in many towns who are “‘saviiig” money ia that direction. os ECARD sin cin ERROR Another Relative Dead.

Not that there are no bad eggs in Paris as . well as elsewhere, but there are certain balles whose only duty to sift the bad. or Goabtful éges from the goéd‘onés. “In

one of the ceHars of the halles one sees @ man passing his hands rapidly before his cyes and ia front of a lighted candle, Aronud him aré baskets containing thousands of eggs. His duty is to separate the bad ones from the good, and he is remunerated at the rate of 75 centimes, or 15 cents, for 1,000 eggs. He accomplishes” his work with ‘extraordinary dexterity. With one hand he takes three or four eggs and bring: them to the exact position he-wishes be tween his eye and the lighted. candle at’ if by magic. For an egg to be good the part that appears black must becom: pletely detached from the part that appears white.

Snake dealers in South America have venomous wares, though it is sometimes difficult to induce ship captains to carry them as freight. The enake dealers handls the boa constrictor with great deftness. This serpent bites, but his bite is not venomous, so that the chief danger to the handler is from the serpent’s enormously powerful muscles, The dealers have learzied that the boa, te be really dangerous, must have a fulcrum in the shapy of something around which be may coil his tail. e The boa is, in fact, a lever in which the’ ordinary arrangement is power, weight, fulcrum. Knowing this, the dealers drop a soft hat over hia head, that he may neither see nor bite, and theti ‘siatah “im” 46 suddenly from his resting place that he has no opportunity to brace himself by seizing a fixed object with his tail. After that the essential thitig is to see that he is not brought within distance of any such object. A snake dealer on a Brazilian steamer the other day was occupied in ‘trans: ferring his boas from one box to anoth; er. He opened the box an instant, dropped a hat over the head of pne of the creatures, snatched it from its fellows, and rushing across the deck dropped it into the other box, The thing ‘looked so easy. that.a.deck hand, waiting. until the snake owner’s back was turned, essayed to repeat the act. He neglected to use the hat, and with a yell yanked ‘a great siiuke from’ the box with-its fangs fixed in his fingers. Not daring to let go, yet fearing to hold on, he began whirling the snake about his head, meanwhile dancing madly over the deck. The snake man managed to capture the reptile and it.in security. Then somebody exft ‘conéern’ for the rash deck hand, te which the stake owner answered : ‘What, him? He’s all right. But think of my snake! It’s worth 20 of that mug !"’—New York Sun.
