the methods of business, yet with an unswerving policy lif
years ago established of keeping GOOD GOODS, giving GOOD

patronage THEY HAVE received during the past, they now
desire to say to their friends and patrons that their SPRING

a the couquered. Urtainlr thj
Franco-Germno war of 1870 w II look
like child's play compared w th tit
coming struggle, which everybody Is
talking about, but which nobody but
a madman would desire. ' ,
We do not believe there is a sensible
man In all Germany who does not pray
for a long peace, because the next war.
even If it should result la a victory fur
Germany, must make more widows and
orphans than all the wars of Europe
during th last hundred years.
Under the title of "llow Shall W
Attack In the Coming WarP" a pam
phlet has recently appeared In Berlin,
suptiosed to be the work of a staff of
Ifeur. It treats of th present con-
liilnnanf attack bv lufulltrV. lu view
1 lowtlija j of i the olisnges of tactic made
! necessary br the .reiieating nfle aud

have changed with the enemy, and we
must soon do like him. It Is blgh
lime to study the effects which the new
I arms mut imv upon tne tsc.ucaoi oai
i tie, upon the way to lesd troops into

! of warfare must prove an exception
, and a repulse the rule. This does not
i mean that a position rsunot in future
j be curried; every posltlou can be car-
ried, but uot lu flout.
"In the next war the German in
1 funtry cannot count, as in '70-71. up
: on Hie support of tb artillery, for the
enemy has made as much progress in
! artillury as Germany, if not more, and.
considering the range of the present
rilles, tlio artillery must keep itself st
a greater distance than it did in years
past, aud leave the battle to be decided
by tlio Infantry, The advantage of
superiority of ludlvidual firing also
tends to decline at long ranr, aud,
altive all, with weapons so easily han
dled as the modern small bore."
The pnmphlut concludes witht the as
sertion that wldle the offensive la still
the best form of combat, and the one
to be recommended, il mimt fail en

llow many are there who recall th
association of the Iturbides with the
late Empress of HrssilP Miss Itttrbide,
daughter of the unfortunate Mexican
potentate, whs un Intimate friend of
the Empress, and during her visit to
New York spent much time with her.
Two dooados ago th name of Iturbid
was as well known as that of Dora
Pedro to-day. Mexico has always
offered the spectacular to the view of
nations, and Iturbide's career was in
keeping with Mexican mise en scenes.
Miss Iturbide returning to Philadel
phia always kept up a certain state.
She conducted herself with the dignity
of royalty, and commanded always a
peculiar kind of respect, even from
ber few intimate friends.
Her life had its romance. When
quite .voting she fell in love . and be
came engaged to a naval oflicer. State
reasous obliged her to separate from
him. The engagement was broken.
Years went by. After her father's
downfall Miss" Iturbide met Captain
, then Admiral . but pride for
bade her accepting his advance. They
met frequently, but never spoke, each
wailed for a signal from the other.
When on her deathbed she .whispered
to An attendant to seek hiin. Asclianc
hail it, Admiral , having heard of
her illucss, was ut that moment about
to enter the house. The servant sent
to summon him mot him without recog
nition and explained that her mistress
could see noonel He liuirered a mo
ment on the door-step, ringing the bell
at last, left his name and sadly walked
away! So the pride of years had its
most pathetic fall.
Alter her death It was found that In
a memorandum she hud left word that
he only was lo sue ber in death. They
sent for him, of course, aud lie kept
the lonely tryst with the woman whom
only pritlo and political .Influence had
kept from happiness as his wife. No

ON BUYING TRASH.
So one would deliberately ft out
for th purpose of buying trash, yet
few Meat the folly of bringing Jiom
from a Stopping expedition thing
which hav tempted away our money,
without astlsfvlog y real oraatbelic
need. W voluntarily surround our
elve wlthtrahy kuiek-knaek from
th hO. which, after tb excitement
of tb purchase i over. eni anything
but desirable. Such Investment are
only loo familiar: the vac. lin neither
in form nor color, but. only ihlrty-tlv
cents; Japsnesc fan, so ehap that we
indulge in several, since each cost to
little; the tiny teapot of om chole
war, marked down becaus of
broken handle, for which our mir i
the dollar lighter; th rlbbou bow to
conceal the defect In tha teajsit han
dle, for which w part wllh uolher
little ura In order to plac a most In
appropriate decoration on china; do
we bring bom jy forever la such
purchases as thesef
If only w might have realised be
fore parting with our money, that the
ribbon-bedecked, broken piece of chin
could not atify tb real desire of our
heart for a pretty teapot! and that,
with th amount expended on the
tasteless vase. siierlliioiis fans, hand
les teapot and the misplaced ribbon,
w might have poau a liltl tea
pot of real value instead of trash!
The true pleasure of buying can
not be realized by tbosst who indulge
In trash, tbev lose the happy ohoosing
of that which Is to gratify coma long
felt want; of that which It Is to be the
tangible result of thoughtful delibera
tion, and abstinence for anything in
the nature of trash. Such pleasure
Ella describe as shared by 'Cousin
Bridget" of the essays and himself iu
tha purchase of rare books and 'the
old print after Leonardo," in the day
when a purchase "used to be triumph'
for them.
With people of limited mean the
frittering away of dime, quarters and
half dollars on this, that, and the other
thing, that we should often be better
off without is a serious matter, and
until taught by long exierieoce to
value mouey properly, many women
are sad waster in this 'direction.
Seeming luxuries, longed for with a
reasonable longing, are not to be
thought of seriously until their phan
tom "ship comes Iti;" while little pack
ages return from a day's shopping con
taining cheap gloves, fussy fancy-work,
or materials purchased In" the name of
Art by one who has not learued to
draw.
In the home of the wise shopper we
shall find no trash; in it place, are
well-chosen objects, few It may be.
but each good of its kind. New books
of worth we shall find there, and artis
tic needlework; bright bits of pottery
or delicate porcelain, and photographs
of some of the treasures of the old
world galleries, all gathered together
lowly aud fondly with the saved-up
small Change that by the thoughtless
buyer might have boon exchanged for
trash.
Things of worth and beauty are not
alone for those to whom "a purchase
Is not a purchase," since they "have
money enough and to spare," A share
of the beautiful may come to each of
u who will wisely plan aud wait for it,
insteud of suatchitig up rash. A good
sised photograph of some favorite pic
ture (of a Mudouna, perhaps,' with
weet up-lifting face), may be hail for
one dollar aud a half, ami the same
amount will glaae aud frame the pic
ture. A simple bamboo frame for a cabi
net photograph, of neatest construc
tion, and pretty withal, was lately
fouud iu a Japanese store for one of
those dimes that so easily slip from
our grasp ou the ten cent cottuter.
Knowitig the bettor things, our uru
deut holder of the sleuder purse cau
pass, untempied, the crowded couutera
loaded with crude wares of vuriu'u
kinds. For, looking at those ware as
the result of poor workmanship, and
poorer taste, she sees them iu their
true light, and tiuds them ouly trash.
