This little trick works well. Not a few men will make It a point to defer purchas ing uhiii uiey reacn tier street corner. Not a few men regard the putronlzlng of such persons as a sort of charity and that makes them like to put themselves out a little, to do It.

Some w ho sew dur ing the day Kpeud au hour or two lu the luter afternoon and early evening sell ing papers, because they need the reere ntion and air, besides they make a lit tle money out of It, which Is a great help to them In meeting expenses. Thcie are a few newspaper sellers who fetch a child with them to the titrcet, which serves as a manufacturer of sympathy. The child may belong to the woman who has It, and It may be borrowed for the occasion.. The latter becomes a pretty self-evident fact when the child does not always put In it appearance, and especially so wheu the child bears no likeness of the woman mid they act one toward the other as If mp? mm IrfPSft fete there was uo bond of relationship exist ing between them. The child's part In the play for sympathy aud trade Is a conspicuous one. If It Is not too large It Is carried lu the woman's arms while she stands and on her lap while she sits, but In any event It Is kept well to the foreground as a childish appeal for patronage, it Is a good card, and even meii and women who believe It Is all a play cannot always resist the prompting of their sympathy. Such 'women move from place to place. They are on one street corner to-day, another to-iuorrow, and somewhere else the next day.

The officer were mm tered In by Major (Stephenson, who then declared the pout duly organized anil rearly for the tranaction of any awl all business that might c-ouie be fiiV It. At the regular meeting on April 10, S. (i. Burn. Henry Cor man, X. K. Winholtz, V. II. Amlrewa and V. II. H. Kowe were mustered In a new member of the post. In the meantime Major Htephenaon ami hi comrade worked hard to per fect the constitution, which wa finally accepted at a meeting In Springfield, May , 1WJ, It wa printed In Spring field, and eople were sent to the Deca tur Tout So. 1 on May 15, followed shortly after by copies of the revised ritual. According to the constitution the name of the national organization wa to be "The Craud Army of the Ite publle," aud precinct, county and State organization were provided for. , Trior to the formal Institution of Font Xo. 2 at Springfield a departmental staff had been agreed upon to pronecute the work of organizing post. The first State convention or encamp ment to form the Department of Illi nois was held at Springfield, III., on July 12, MM. At that time there were already thirty-nine Orand Army post in the Mate of Illinois that had re- wived their charter. The call for the conveulion wa signed by many of the most prominent former army officers In the Stale. The convention was lulled There are tlie trade us a few women who are In a business. They are out early and late, always on hand for the hist Issue of the "Extra," and they push themselves forward quite as ac tively as the newsboys hustle. Such women do not resort to subterfuge. They do not play for sympathy, nor do they clalmny favors because of their sex. They rely upon their push, en ergy and perhaps love of the excite ment. . Anyway, they go about It like a merchant who knows his goods have merit and that It is his business to proclaim that fact far aud near. There are a few quite old women In the busluess of selling newspapers on the street, and their age aud feebleness oblige them to have a regular place to sit dowu. They have regular customers who buy of them out of honest sym pathy because It Is their chief If not their only means of support, and rarely ever Is change asked when a nickel Is given. This class, as a rule, are neat and clean In appearance and express their gratitude with their eyes rather tlmu In words. It may be said that there are no young women In the busi ness of selling newspapers on the streets In Chicago, but there are a num ber of girls ranging lu age from 8 to 12 years, and nearly all of them are bold, persistent and always chewing gum. They look untidy and seem to have no ambition to better their condition. BIRDS THAT DO NOT SING. They Fur Outnumber the Musicians of the Feathered Family. Singing Is applied to birds In the same seuse that It Is to human beings the utterance of musical note. Every per son makes vocal sounds of some kind but niauy persons never attempt to sing. So It is with birds. The eagle screams, the owl hoots, the wild goose honks, the crow caws, but none of these discordant Bounds can be called sing' lug. With the poet, the singing of birds means merry, Ijgut-hearted Joyousncss, and most of us are. poetic enough to view It In the same way. Birds sing most In the spring and the early sum mer, those happiest seasons of the year, while employed in uost-bulldlng and In rearing their young. Many of our most musical singers are silent nil the rest of the year; at least they utter only low chirpings. It Is uatural, therefore, that lovers of birds should regard their sing ing as purely an expression of Joy In the returning spring, and lu their happy occupations. Outside of what are properly classed as song birds there are many species hat never pretend to sing; lu fact, those far outnumber the musicians. They In elude the waterblrds of every klud. both swimmers ami waders, all the birds of rcy, eagles, hawks, owls and vultures; ami all the gallinaceous tribes, compris ing pheasants, partridges, turkeys and chickens. The gobble of the turkey cock, the dctlant crow of the "bob- white,'' are none of them true singing; yet It Is quite probable that all of these sounds are uttered with precisely simi lar motives to those that inspire the sweet warbling of the soug-sparrow, the clear whistle of the robins or the thrilling music of the wood-thrush. But naturalists have set apart a very large group ui soug birds, aud even among these there are many species that never Blng at all. Birds are group ed according to their anatomical char acteristics, the structure of their bones. bills, feet and wings. And tans we have the souglcss song birds, looking at j .r. v ?:4 mm mm, to order by Major Stephenson and Col. Waller B. Scates, of Chicago, wa elect ed president. The Department of Illi nois was formally organized. The first national encampment. In which the national organization of the Grand Army of the Republic was jH-r-fected, was held at Indianapolia, Ind., on Xov. jo, lsiw. It was caMed to order by Commander-in-Chief B. F. Stephen son, .and Ceu. John M. Falmer was elected permanent president of the convention. The war Governor of In diana, Oliver I. Morton, attended the encampment and wa received with great euthusiasm. The second national encampment of the Grand Army did not take place un til Jan. 15-17. iH-iH, aud was heid at Philadelphia. John A. Logan, of Illi- no., was elected commander-in-chief. He wa re-elected at the following tw national encampmeutsat Cincinnati ami Washington. D. C. ' The fifth natloual encampment was held at Boston and elected A. E. Buruside commander-ia chief. During the first year of It exist ence the growth of the Grand Army of the Itepubllc wa comparatively slow and not until the latter part of the '70 did 11 marvelous growth really begin In 18.8 the Grand Army comprised but 31.0KJ members, while at the present time It comprises 7,184 post, with 28f, 4't3 members.

Philadelphia limes. Starting In the Chicken Businesi, there Is a story told of a shrewd Yaukee who liegau In business without any capital at all. He borrowed a broody hen from one neightior and a setting of eggs from another. Having set the hen he soon had fine brood of chicks, but was now In dilemma as to how he could pay back those egg. tie unaiiy solved the difficulty by keeping the hen until she had laid the required number of eggs, when he re turned both the hen and the eggs, and guessed he had as fine a lot of chick .ns as anybody. And aba it as cheap, too. There are men In western Ne braska who claim a good start from a borrowed cow, but the operation can hardly have been as smooth as this. Exchange. Silencing; the Boaster. A certain man was very much given to bragging about grand relations aud connections, though he was not al ways quite convincing. On one occasion he was particularly tiresome, holding forth about "Lady Blank, whom I met yesterday, a con nection of mine through Lord So-and-So and the Earl of Nobody," and so on. A Scotsman present said, quietly: "That reminds me o' a mau l knew, who said he was a relation o' the Duke o' Argyll, and explained It this way: 'The duke's piper's sister's wee laddie has a wee doggie that's aln brlther to my aunt's wee laddie's doggie.'

When the outside Interference which is now Inevitable shall have removed or modified the existing bars to trade China will leave Japan far behind from the Industrial standpoint. The Chinese are as remarkable for their commer cial' morality as the Japanese are for the opposite; they are more solid, better balanced, take longer views, and are, In short, more merchants aud less ped dlers than the same class In Japau, aud the natural resources of their Immense eouutry are such as Japan cannot hope to compete with, poor as she Is In min eral wealth and subject to the most disastrous uatural convulsions.

FALLACIOUS PSCFITS. mistake of a Bookeepcr ia Yearly Balance Sheet. It 1 doubtful If any modern promoter hat hit upon a simpler scheme to swell tie asset on bit balance sheet than that which has been employed by a humble bookkeeper of this city while the century was young. ice year iwi bad been a very pros perou one for the merchants of New York, and all looked forward with in teres i to tne nrst mouth or the new year, whtn they would be able to ascer tain bow much better off they were then than at the sauie time twelve month before.-Notwithstanding his high expectations. It wa with a feeling of grateful surprise that the frugal Scotch bachelor, John Macintosh, re ceived the new from his bookkeeper that he wa 2.000 richer by the tran action of the year. That wa a large kuui In those days, aud Macintosh thought the Increase in hi Income war ranted a change In hi mode of living. Accordingly he engaged more com modiou lodging and Invested In many long-desired luxuries. Still he could not make out bow be had succeeded in accumulating such a large surplu. He ran over the figure again and again to convince himself that they must be right, and every time checked hi bookkeeper's totals. Yet the doubt haunted lilm with a persist eucy a truly Scotch a himself. He was about to retire one night In early March, when he took out the bal ance sheet, which he kept handy, and once more endeavored to convince him- self of hi good fortune. Without wait lug to put on hi hat, with balance sheet In hand, he hurried to the lodg Ing of hi bookkeeper. In those day all the good folk of the town retired at the stroke of 9. But Macintosh's pounding succeeded In awakening the blissfully unconscious clerk, who threw up the window aud demanded: "Who's therer "Who's here, you dunderskull?" ex claimed the Irate merchant Do ye ken what ye've doone? Ye've added the year of our Laird to the credits!" New York Mall and Express. HOW CHINESE ARE ARMED. They Have Great Faith in Lantern., Which They Carry Everywhere. A large part of the success of Chinese-armies in times past has been due to their ability (o strike terror to the hearts of their enemies, so every corps has Its regiment of "terror strik ers," dressed in the most prejiosteroiia costumes' and drilled In outlandish oses, acrobatic feats and facial grim aces. Another peculiar part of a Cbluese soldier's equipment Is his lantern. It Is not to be supposed that they- could see their way by night unless each car ried a light, aud in one of the recent attacks on Tien tsin the Chinese forces advanced, each soldier carrying his lantern. The allies waited until the Chinese were wltMn easy distance and then opened on them with a rapid-fire gun, whereupon the Chinese fled, leav ing their lanterns on the field. Still others of the Chinese forces are armed with their ancient glngals, the first of firearms Invented, loaded with powder and shot and touched off at the vent with a stick of lighted Incense, These old guns have been In use among the Chinese for upward of 1,500 years. But alongside of these same regi ments are others using almost every known kind of modern arms and drill ed In the tactics of all the. great mili tary powers. Over fifteen makes of modern rifles and muskets are known to be In use In the Chinese armies, aud great demoralization has frequently occurred. by the dealing out of ammu nition for one kind of gun to a regl ment that used another. In the maju, however, the Chinese have been apt pupils, and whether trained by Bus Klaus; Germans, French or English of ficers they have come to use their wea pons with deadly effect.
