I spent an evening with Mr. William Pope, one of the largest dealers in army stores Ik England, and in the course of the Interview he told mo several curious tacts In connection with the business. “Why, bless ne,'r said the wealthy dealer, “there have been times when I could have clothed and equipped a good sized array on a day's notice. I once bad an old chapel full of rifles, a warehouse full ot swords, a hundred thousand hel mets, and as many coats, trousers and boots. But the rifle business, like th. hi »- carded rifle, la broken up now.“ “Why to that!" “It was after the Poentx park tanrden. The great market for the rifles had for many years been Ireland. The govern ment became alarmed, and the order waa Issued to break up all the rifles, and as the order has never been rescinded I suppose they will go on breaking them np until doomsday. At any rate there are no more rifles to be had.” ‘‘But were not these rifles very old fash ioned!” “Of course they were, but that waa all the better for the South African trade. Tbe natives liked tbe old flint guns with tbe stocks painted red. Why, there to an •stabltohment at Brandon, in Norfolk, making flint locks to’ this day. Itwven pays to take out the more modern locks snd substitute flint locks. These fllntguns and old swords are sent out in barrels tud exchanged for palm oil, which 'comes oack in the same barrels. Before the Phcenlx park murders I employed 100 men cleaning up and repairing govern ment rifles, muskets and firearms of all sorts. I have received as many as 20,000 la a month. Now the British govern ment employs men at £9 a week to break them all up.” “What else do you bny of the British and continental governments besides lm plements of warfare!" “Why, bless me. my young friend, I buy everything; tents, blankets, picks, shovels, boots, gloves, gadters, helmets, saddles, harness and accouterments of all kinds." “Do you examine them before purchas ing!” “Don’t examine one. It’s what you Yankees call trading out of sight and un seen. You pay down your money and you find out what you’ve got when yon begin to assort, according to the value. I employ 500 people at times in the various departments of my business, and If you would only reduce your tariff I could soon employ a thousand." “What do you do with the old boots!” “Well, I'm not so much In the old boot line. There isn't much In that unless yon make a business of it. I have a friend who has a factory employing 500 or 600 men, and he literally makes old boots Into new. He buys all the army, all the police, and In fact all the old boots he can lay his hands on. They are taken to pieces and the leathor cleaned and redressed, and a new boot or shoe constructed out of the good pieces of leather,' and all sorts of smaller articles made out of the best part ot the worn out pieces. He makes a very durable hob nailed boot, which Is known in the trade and bought by costers, farm laborers and railway porters. This to called translating.” "What becomes of the utolforms!” “Most of thorn go abroad. The oil skin capes and cork helmets go to India, the brass helmets to the Cape, and the tunic and policemen’s uniforms to South Africa. You see, as trousers are dispensed with, red jackets are rather a drug, though the . natives do buy them, and lengthen them a bit with white cotton cloth. The cast off. court suits worn by officers are rare things to get hold of. They are renovated and sold, with a few peacocks’ feathers thrown In, to the chiefs. They are always in de mand, and bring good prices. The pride these natives take tn (heir uniforms to •Monishing."—Robert P. Porter in Inter Ocean. a raTaiysea Telegrapner. It Is probable that had Mr. Beecher un derstood telegraphy he might have com municated with bls family after the stroke which rendered him speechlees. The contraction of the fingers of his right hand would seem to indicate the possibil ity that he was conscious, and had he known how to regulate those contractions in the formation of telegraphic signals he could have thus conveyed his thoughts while otherwise utterly powerless. I knew of a case some years ago in which a telegrapher thus communicated with me, when we supposed him unconscious. In holding his-hand I felt a faint twitching of the muscles of his fingers and recog nized telegraphic signals thus made. He was perfectly conscious of what was pass ing around him but unable to speak or move a muscle, except the faint contrac tion of tbe finger muscles as described. It was a remarkable case and unparalleled so far as I know.—Globe-Democrat. Little John*« Experiment. Little John, aged 2 years, was of such a courageous nature that his mother said be feared nothing, seen or unseen. His mother related to him the story of the naughty children who said to the prophet, “Go up, thy bald head!” and were imme diately eaten up by bears. He listened with wide eyed and open mouthed atten tion. When she had finished he medi tated a short time, and then, with an evi BASEBALL TALK. dent determination in his infant mind to nation clubs will play 140 games test the truth of that story, slid down from her lap and, putting his head under her dress for protection, said in solemn cinnati club will employ an ad tones: “Go up, thou bald head!” As no it next season. bears appeared, I fear his doubts exist to ry list for the Brooklyn club for this day. —Babyhood. i will exceed «40,000. d short stop, Sadie Houck, has been tbe Charleston club. • I annual meeting of the American i wifi be held in St Louis. ton club has not signed any new yet, but hopes to do so in the near »60,000 grand stand is slowly going ■ thought that everything will be by early spring. ■»it club has arranged for exhibi- i with Cincinnati upon tbe latter's ril 10, 11 and 12. vommodore Vanderbilt’s Secret. One day a young clerk who was ambi tious for a large fortune determined to visit Commodore Vanderbilt and learn from him the secret of accumulating wealth. He entered the magnificent apartments of the millionaire, with whom he was somewhat acquainted, stated his errand, and asked him on what mystcri ous principle he conducted business with such unexampled success!

CAUSES Off POVERTY. lnSlvt4a»ls Wk. ■•main Poor WUkonl Any Meal Eanlt ««.Tfeatr^Owa. Individuals may be poor in conse quence of their work not being of a na ture, or performed under circumstances, calculated to produce health. A man may be attached to some partioulat •pot of ground, and may prefer working theF.for small earnings to working any wxere. else for larger earnings. He may be attached to a particular trade, which he will not quit, though othst men no better than himself are gaining double the sura by other employments. He may persist in working with anti quated tools, while prioes have been reduced in consequence of the general use ot improved instruments. He may work at things which his fellow-crea tures do not oare for, or have recently ceased tu care for, and which, there fore, for the present at least, can not be considered as wealth. Left with the unbought articles on his hands, he ii as poor as if he did not work at all. Ot he may exert himself in opposition to natural difficulties whioh he to not able to contend with, as in cultivating bad land, or in trying to raise grain where nature has said there should only be pasture. Of all these kinds of self-pro duced poverty we have numerous in stances in every community. They spring from [»eculiaritios in the human mind which reason has failed Jo con trol, and suffering is as much their un avoidable consequenoe m it to of idle ness or wasteful expenditure.- Individuals, without idleness or mis couduct, or any other of the above means of producing poverty, may nevertheless be poor, in consequence of the greatness of their domestic bur dens in proportion to their utmost earnings. He who realizes fair wages, with four or five mouths besides hit own to feed, must necessarily be a poorer man, all other circumstance« being equal, than he who has only to support himself with the same earnings. The former may be the happier man and the better citizen; but he must alsc be the poorer, at least while his family continues dependent on him. It is de sirable that all men should be married, and no country can be considered in a right state where celibacy to forced on any; but yet. where Such is the order oi things, many who marry must find that a family is a cause of poverty. The utmost efforts should be made to make marriage a source of fear to none; but until this to done, the less able laborer« in each department can only marry at tbe risk of poverty. Such an . act, in their case, becomes liable to be classed with several of the above causes of self produced poverty—excepting that it i> one so accordant with the good feeling« of mankind thaL as an imprudence, it will always be lightly blamed.— N.
