Can of Calesbur, who was minister to Denmark under the Harrison administration, was in Wash ington one day when Linooln waa presi dent "I'm going to the White House to aee Abe," said Owen Lovejoy to Carr as they met in front of the treasury build ing. Carr went with him. They were shown into the president's working room, and soon after Linooln came in. He wore a long garment which might hare been cat from a bathroom pattern or the cover of a prairie schooner. His hair was more froozeled than usual, and the carpet slippers were worn down and without heels. The condition and appearance of the presidential ho siery were such as would have made Jerry Simpson envious, provided the stories they told on Jerry were true, which they never were. The president gave his callers an Illinois greeting and then shoved up one of the sleeves of bis curious garment and pointed out to his visitors the inflamed condition of his arm. "You knew I had the smallpox, " said Lincoln in a cold blooded manner. Love joy said yes and proceeded to talk about other matters, while Can's few hairs had inclinations to stand up, and he moved about in his chair as if it con tained dynamite. The visit over, the caller passed out. Once in the air, Clark asked Lovejoy: "Did yon know the president had the smallpox when we went there?" "Certainly," was the answer. "Yon d d scoundrel!" shrieked Can. "Why didn't you say so?" "I've had it, " replied Lovejoy, "and I supposed you had. " "WelL I never had it!" roared Can. "But if I do have it now I want yon to give me a certificate that I caught the disease from Abe Lincoln. That will be something. " But Lovejoy bad no occasion to do so, as Lincoln had the varioloid only. Chi cago Tribnna ' Captala McKay and His Paaeeasrera. The fact is that the excellent captain of the Umbria, Captain McKay, was a little more open with his passengers th in was quite prudent. With the laudable desire of sparing them any unnecessary anxiety, he informed them plainly of the cause of the stoppage of their course and genially assured them of their perfect safety. So far, so good. The passengers bad a ngbt to ask that much, and it was but sensible to let them know the tmtb and not imagine worse things for them. tel ves. But what the passengers had ni right to ask for was information as to the course that the captain was going to pnrsne. and Captain McKay made mistake in not snubbing the first gentle man who questioned him on the subject. Why don't you send np rockets?" ona of the passengers is said to have plain tively demanded. "There will be time rnongh for rockets when a vessel comes near enough to see them," answered the captain evasively, but courteously. , The politeness was fatal. After the implied admission that rockets and other ships were necessary to their salvation the passengers had a ternmc hold upon the unlucky commander of the ship. Had he only answered, as he would have been perfectly justified in doing and as a great -many other captains would certainly have done, "What busi- ts that of yours he might have made himself a little unpopular, but hi! would have saved himself from much further wony. The passengers seem to have actually divided themselves into two different camps and discussed a vote of confidence or censure. Happily com m on sense carried the day, and a vote of confidence was carried. What would have been done had the vote of censure been passed we cannot guess, but this at least we may say that if that motion had been carried it would have been the plain duty of the captain to put the mover, seconder and principal supporters of the resolution in irons.

Meany. bookkeeper for Joseph A Duffy, had nn exciting experience with burglars at his house early Monday morning. He is but recently married, and among his wedding presents was inusio box. lo this happy circumstance be attributes the fact that the burglars did not succeed in carrying off every thing in bis home. One of the burglars in rummaging through his drawing room stumbled across the package of stored music, and thinking probably that it contained jew- ilry or silverware attempted to open it In doing so he set the music machine in motion, and presently Mr. Meany was roused from his slumbers by the touch ing strains of "Auld Lang Syne": Mr. Meany got his gun and started for the burglars, and they started for a window. He arrived at the drawing room doorway just in time to see two burglars leaping from the window. ' He fired, but the robbers continued their flight. One of ! them stumbled in getting over the front !

' if Tow Rare a Relative or Frlead ta Some Lines of Trade la the Metropolis, Tee Can Bavo Hundreds of Dollar Kverv tear If Too tiny Right. One of the curiosities of retail business in New York is the system of discounts granted to all sorts of persons and Tor all sorts of reasons. Nobody has ever dis covered the point at which discounts cease in the book trade. Some retail booksellers frankly quote the publishers price, and beside tt tue selling price, which is from 15 to S3 per cent less, Those who know the ropes never buy books without claiming the discount. There are special discounts to clergymen. to authors, to artists, to teachers, and generally to what somebody has called the academic classes. After that there are still greater discounts to a few other favored persons. There are men who pro fess to buy books in small quantities at 40 per cent below publishers prices. What is true of books is true of almost everything else that is bought and sold. When the article is s costly one, the dis count gets to be absurdly large. The trade in diamonds and jewels, among a peculiar class of dealers, is a thing with out bottom. Nobody can tell where the discounts cease, since such things pass from band to hand at prices governed often by the needs of temporarily em barrassed seller. In the piano trade, in which there were recently rumors of combination. the matter of discounts has become byword. It is doubtful whether any one ever buys a piano at catalogue price. One firm advertises pianos at from t&O to $1,200, according to quality. but delivers them in New York at from 450 to 800 that is, to the ordinary customer. There is further reduction of 10 per cent to teachers or to persons buying two or more pianos. One linn advertises the "list price of square pianos at $1,000; price by installment. $350; price for cash, $300. Yon may buy a grand piano at any price from $700 to $1,800. But nobody pays the latter price, since the same piano may be bad for the asking at $1,300. Upright pianos are catalogued at prices varying from $430 to $1,900, but they may be bad for cash at from $373 to $1,043. A few dealers of well established rep utation resist the system of discounts. but all sorts of insiduous methods of ap proach are employed, and the price is seldom insisted npon.. Some dealers gravely exhibit books showing the record of sales and prices, and protest that there is no departing from rates. These books however, do not show the fact that in many instances secondhand pianos have been taken in part payment at a high appraisement When a piano dealer has reached the last ditch and made a defiant stand, the device of demanding a high appraisement on a secononand piano given in part payment usually fetches him. The receipted bill always shows that the new piano has been placed at the full rate with the usual discount The devices of manufacturers with re putations yet to make are almost of a desperate sort With the slightest en conragement they will place pianos on trial in any respectable looking house or apartment The unwilling purchaser re ceives profuse assurances of esteemed consideration and is prayed to be at ease as to the tame of full payment Any rea sonable demand as to terms is conceded and the seller seems so anxious for noth tag as to add another debtor to his list, The result of all this is that no careful person purchases a piano without taking advice. He goes about it solemnly as he would in buying a horse or a house or in taking a wife. When the purchaser's own powers of persuasion have been ex hausted, he calls in a music teacher and gets a further reduction or purchases through a friend who has recently bought for himself. Sometimes the' music teacher gets a commission all to himself. When the music teacher is not successful in obtaining the most favor able terms, some person in a kindred line of business to that of the piano dealer is invoked, and the purchase is finally made at from $300 to $800 under schedule price. The opposite phenomenon is observed in the sewing machine trade. Since the original patents expired all sorts of in dispensable appliances have been patent ed, and the manufacturers and dealers in the best machines exact the uttermost penny for these latter. In some instance a device costs 10 times the price at which it can be produced, and all the various ap purtenances taken together make np large percentage of the price at which the machine is sold. Even secondhand machines "complete" are held at stiff rates. To the trade on some articles of house furnishing there is seemingly no bottom price. Women, who are notoriously the best bargainers, go to wholesale houses and npon one pretext or another obtain discounts that bring prices far below re tail prices. Dealers cheerfully send ar tides miles in the country on trial, take back slightly damaged goods, pack and repack and at length smilingly accept payment with all sorts of discounts. What Is true of new furniture is still truer of secondhand and antique ar tides. In this trade there is no fixed dis count, thongb surface prices are siugn lariv uniform. Whether the shop be in Fifth avenue or in Canal street the prices asked are much the same. New York Sun.

Philadelphia Call. FREAKS OP NATURE. loans Curious Things Thai Am nee nod Asa ton in h Man of Scleaoe. Nature's freaks of fancy afford a strange study. People are constantly tending to the National museum tup posed fossil animals and other oddities which are in reality more occidental forms carved by water. A pebble in a stream gathers about itself grains of sand until nu odd shaped lump is made. A favorite shape for inch lumps Is that of a turtle with four lugs, a head and tail, eveu the lines of the shell be ing sometimes distinct Similar concre tions of carbonate of iron and day as sume the appearance of petrified pea nuts. Break om and you will always find inside a small spiral winkle shell, which has served as the nuuleca A queer counterfeit of this kiud, forward d to Washington not long ago, was an alleged fossil foot of a child, with a lit tle stockiug on, the latter showing signs of wear on the ball of the foot and on the heel It was ouly a concretion, as was likewise what appeared to be a pot rilled oyster ou tlio shell. One eminent scientist has been amus ing hiiusulf of lute by making imitation spider webs out of quart libera It is well known that copper wire can be drawn to a fineness much less than the thickness of a hair in fact, to the di ameter of the one-thousandth part of an inch. But gloss may be spun iiuor thou copper, while even the finest spun glass is nut so line as silk fiber. The latter, however, is coarse compared with the threads that can be obtained by melting quarts under a blowpipe and pulling it out Such threads may be reduced to a thinness of ono-milliouth of an luck Drawn to such tenuity,, they are invisi ble under a microscope of the highest power. Yet they are stronger in propor tion to, their thickness than the best quality of bar steel Enough thread like this could be mode from a single cnbio inch of quarts to go around the world 638 times. A grain of sand barely large enough to be visible to the naked eye would yield 1,000 miles of thread. Obviously no practical use can be made of threads so extremely fine. Comparatively coarse ones were woven into cobwebs by the scientist aforesaid. They would not catch flies because they were too slippery, having no gluten on them, like real cobwebs. This difficulty was got over by moistening a straw in castor oil and gontly stroking the threads with it; then the wobs capturod flies fairly well But a cobweb is incomplete without a spider, so it occurred to the experimenter to attract an arachnid to his web by the buzzing of a fly. It was difflonlt to moke a fly buzz to order, but a satisfactory imitation was produced by permitting a tuning fork to vibrate against the quarts fibers. This fetched the spider right away. The scientist also amused himself with blowing bubbles of quartz, which looked exactly like the most beautiful soap bubbles. Washington Star. Sponge Fishing;. The Greeks are considered the prin cipal sponge fishers, and it takes mnob experience, skill and hardihood to quali fy a man for a first class place among sponge divers. Many of the most valu able specimens are found at a depth varying from 10 to 83 fathoms. To aid in the descent, the divers make nse of a triangular stone, with a bole in one cor ner, through which a rope is spliced. On reaching the deep sea gardens, where the rock ledges are clothed with marine growths, the diver, retaining a hold on his rope, dexterously breaks away the holdfast of the sponges and places them under his arm uutil a sufficient load has been gleaned, when a pull on the rope signals bis companions above that he is ready to ascend, and he is then hauled to the surface, bearing his ocean treas ures.
