Peter Cooper was one of the most auccesaful, careful and prudent bus! nose men of his time. He was strong ly opposed to the methods of many merchants 4bo launched out Into ex travagant enterprises on borrowed money, for which they paid exorbitant rates of Interest. The following anec dote Illustrates thia point very forci bly: Once, while talking about a project with an acquaintance, tbe latter said he would have to borrow the money for six months, paying Interest at the rate of 3 per cent per month. "■Why do you borrow for So short a time?” Mr. Cooper asked. "Because the brokers will not nego tiate bills for longer.” “Well. If you wish,” said Mr. Coop er, “I will discount your note at that rate for three years.” “Are you In earnest?" asked the would be borrower. “Certainly I am. I will discount your note for $10,000 for three years at that rate. Will you do it?’ "Of course I will,” said the mer chant. "Very well.” said Mr. Cooper. “Just sign this note for $10,000. payable In three years, and give your check for $800. and the transaction will be com plete.” “But where Is tbe money for me?” asked tbe astonished merchant. "You don’t get any money.” was the reply. “Your Interest for thirty-six months at 3 per cent per month amounts to 108 per cent, or $10,800. Therefore your check for $800 just makes us even.” Tbe force of this practical illustra tion of the folly of paying such an ex orbitant price for the use of money was such that the merchant determined never to borrow at such ruinous rates, and he frequently used to say that nothing could have so fully convinced I Bessie Dara visited the families him as this rather humorous proposal L Jensen and H.

Before the .young man got out of the shop tbe • broker called him back. “Here’s a picture—a womtm's pic ture—In the back of this watch,” he said. “You'd better take it lout.” Tbe young man blushed. "It Isn’t worth while,” he said. “I’ll redeem tbe thing In a week,or two.” “Maybe you will and maybe you won't,” retorted the broker. “Yoisnev- er can tell about these things.

Have you any conception of how use ful that born is to us? Scientifically It la known as a combination of phos phate of lime, gelatin and albumen, and, like all nature's products, the In gredients are In tbe right proportion to make the article useful to man as well as to the animal that bears It. The lime makes the born bard, but there Is Just enough lime to make it hard without making It brittle, and there Is just enough gelatin to make the horn easy to cut and shape. The core of the horn is bone, and to get that out the horn Is soaked In water for several weeks. When the core Is taken out It is ground up and made Into crucibles which are used for melt- Ing gold and silver In. The outer end of the horn is hard and solid, and that is used for making knife bandies and other things. The hollow part of the horn is soaked for half an hour or so in boiling water, when it becomes soft and may easily be split with a knife. It Is then spread out flat and put between iron plates. There was a time when these horn plates were made very thin by hard pressure and used In windows and lanterns as we now use glass. They may be made quite translucent. When the horn is heated It may be molded into almost any desired form. That Is thé way knife handles, but tons and other articles are made.—Chi cago News. ENGLISH STORIES. Ths Striking Way an Oxford Notable Won a Nickname. Dean Stanley once went late to din ner with his collar flapping. Ills host ess ventured to ask him If he knew. “Oh, yes!” answered the dean. “Do you mind?” “Not at all,” said the lady. “Then I don't mind, either. The button dropped off while I was dress ing.” And the dean continued his con versation. Rev. W. H. Tuckwell is responsible for the history of how an Oxford nota ble In the thirties got his nickname “Presence of Mind” Smith. He went boating with a friend and returned alone and was asked what had become of bls companion. He explained that his friend had fallen Into the Thames, “and If I had not with great presence of mind bit him on the head with a boat hook the both of us would have been drowned." The late Joseph Joachim was a great favorite in London and for more than sixty years rarely missed a season there. A certain nobleman told him that he was going to St. James’ hall to bear him, and Joachim later asked him If he had found It tedious. “Not at all,” serenely answered the titled per sonage. “I enjoyed myself Immense ly. I did not recognize you at first under your disguise as a nigger, but later I laughed all the more.” Tbe no bleman had strolled by mistake Into a minstrel show Instead of the large con cert hall. A Nice Calculation. A Flemish gentleman conceived tbe Idea that he would only live a certain time, so he made a nice calculation of his fortune, which he so apportioned as to last just the same period as be guessed his life would extend to. Strangely enough, his calculations came correct to the letter, for he died punctually at the time he bad pre viously reckoned. He had so far ex hausted his estate that after his debts had been discharged a solitary pair of slippers represented tbe entire prop erty be left. Ills relatives burled him, and a representation of tbe slippers was carved on the tomb. Today In a churchyard at Amsterdam bls grave may be seen, the only Inscription on tbe stone being two Flemish words, “Effen Nyt” (1. e„ “Exactly”).
