IMPORTING RETAILERS BROOKLYN The system of selling: every article at a smal profit , but of a thorou g hly reliable quality, is a ruling; principle of this firm. S pring Importation OF EMBROID ERIE S , NOW OPEN. We have just opened om Spring Importation of Embroid\ eries : enabling us to offer an assortment which for cheapness , quality, beauty and variety of desi gn far exceeds any p revious importation. They are direc t from all the best manufacturers in Switzerland , and contain more hi g h-class novelties than can be found in all the other stocks of the two cities combined. In addition to our regular goods we have secured a choice line of Matched Sets in Cambric , Nai nrook and Linon d'Inde , from one to forty-five inches wide , which we sell at exactl y one-half of the regular marked prices , making the cheapest line of thoroug hl y good Embroideries ever offered in this country. _ ^ _ CHIPS CURE Every no w and then a horseman , broad hatted and be-weaponed , with jang ling Mexican spurs and leather \ chap \ legg ings , dismounted , tied' his \ cayuse \ pony to the gnawed rack , and joined the group of cowboys lounging in the shado of Ashburn ' s postoffice. With each comer the first , question was: \How ' s Chip?\ \No better , \ Old Man Ashburn re- plied , each time. \Looks to me like that, thar was a mi g hty heavy load to put onto a child like Chi p, \ said Santa Fe , the cowboy, with the gaudy Mexican sash about his. waist \A load uv pain an ' misery bi g enoug h to break a man down , an ' she nouYn ' but a child !\ \'Ye r ri g ht , onl y she h ' ain 't ac hild , \ spoke red cheeked Posy ; she ' s ^ — How old , Ashburn?\ '•Seventeen . \ Ashburn answered. \Hanged if I knowed. \ said Santa Fe. \Reckon yer ri g ht; but I got so ust to seein ' her amongst us , a- ridhi ' the cayuses- an dancin ' an ' laug hin ' an ' ang iu ' like a happy child , that I'd plumb fergot she 'd growed up. \ . \Me , too , \ said Reddy Rose. \I' m mi g htil y afearu she 'll never ride nur run no more , \ said Old Man Ashburn. \Ever sence she was . a- thi - owed she ' s be ' n a-g ittiu ' slowl y b ut shorel y worse an ' worse, an '\ — ' ¦ — \Wal , \ interrupted Sante Fe , with grim earnestness , \I h' ain 't n e ve r be ' n sorry fer the way we run out ' 6 r the Range the cuss that roped the cayuse an ' got her thro wed. \ \Nur me!\ cried a cowboy- chorus. At the sound of a faint call , Old Man Ashburn hastened within the building. Presentl y he appeared , dragg ing carefull y behind him a splin t bottomed rocking . chair , in which reclined the wasted form of little Chi p, Ashburn ' s cri pp led daug h- ter. At sight of her , the im pulsive cow- boys waved their broad hats and went throug h the motions of shouting lusti- l y. But very little sound came from their distended mouths. _. \TT n l J n Knvcl \ f ho. Uifl * o mnnlo in there any longer when I heard you all talking. Pa didn 't want me to come , b ut I told him \ \She 'lowed , \ interrupted Ashburn , \that she 'd come out yere if she 'd to crawl on her hands an ' knees , an ' I reckon she 'd\ —— \You bet she 'd a-done it!\ broke in Santa Fe. \That ' s what she 'd a-done , \ agreed Redd y Rose. \How nice the sunshine seems! said the little cripp le. \I' ve been a-thinkin ' often that mebb y I'd never f it out into it ag ' in to run an ' ride as ust to. Some way \ \Sant \ whispered Posy, \hanged if I h ' aint sorry we stopped at ruunin ' out the cuss that got her throwed. \ ' 'M e. too !\ returned Santa Fe. ' 'O rt to a-killed him then an ' thar!\ \That' s what we ort!\ agreed Redd y Rose. . Even the sli g ht exertion attendant upon the short trip from the little bed- room to the door seemed almost too much for Chi p ' s enfeebled frame. Her face grew paler , and she leaned weari- l y ba ck hi the old rocking chair . \Mebby 111 never see you again , boys . \ she p iped. \I\ \Old man , \ interrupted Posy, \ you better take her back Tiow. \ - \But I don ' t want to go , v the girl protested. \I want to stay an ' see the boys , an '\ As easil y as if she had teen of but a feather ' s weight , Po s y t o ok h e r in his strong arms and carried her back i n to h e r little b e droo m c arefull y a nd very tenderl y.

The yells of recognition with which they greeted Hank , while still rods away, sent ' a great thrill of terror through the old-gentleman: ' 'Tell them who I am !\ he whispered; ho arsely. !Tell ' them I am a main of peace bound on an errand of mercy!\ \I'll do the best; I kin , \ re t urned Hank , ' with an inward con vulsion. \But it' s mi g hty risk y business !

There was on i i f ov Posy, also, ' he no- ticed throug h the mist of tears that dimmed hi s eyes. . , - . - Litt le Chi p softly , stroked Posy ' s rough head , as he bent still lower till his lips touched hers , and a hot tear fell on each tiheek. Then , Fur braver than he, she turned her face away. \Good-b y, Posy, \ s he said. \Godd-by Chi p. \ ; ; He staggered.ou t of. the room , and ' dashing . the tears from his eyes , he grasped the doctor ' s arm with a force that made him wince , and whispered hoarsel y: \G o in , now , an ' —an ' if her good- b y was the last one , God forg ive ye! This yere iron \ —half drawing his re- v olver — : \ never misses li re , an ' — Wal , y o u 'll never go oiFen- the Range !\ Dr. Bristow had made no idle boast when he spoke of his professioiial' skill , arid all of that skill was called into acti on 'to preserve unshapped the chord that bound poor little suffering Chi p to life . When the operation-was over and. the crisis past, tho great physician tottered through the door and fel l fainting into Posy ' s arms. ; ''She is- safe !\ ho gasped , as he opened his eyes. . As if moved b y a common impulse , the cowboys mounted their cayuses and galloped off across the prairie at whirlwind speed. Two miles away they ; halted ,.and. gave vent to their rejoicing:in . yells both long and loud. j A mon th later, when little Chi p was able to hop about quite smartl y on her crutches) Dr. Bristow asked of Posy, of . whom he seemed to stand in dread- f ul ' fear , 'if he ' mi ght leave for his eastern home on the following day. \B u t , doc , 1 thoug ht you was keen to go out on the Cimarron ?\ Nothing was further from Dr. Bris- tow ' s desire. He tuld himself that if ho could but return home , it would take a most powerful attraction i ndeed to draw him awuy frum it. Santa Fe and Old Man Ashburn held • se jrei ' :il _ mvstprions con f e rences, in day. Instead of the faded buckboard , Hank Bitters arrived in a long spring wagon , which , as Reddy Ro s e said , was simp ly \ goig is \ with red paint of tho reddest red ; and Hank himsel f was gotten up for the great occasion \ regardless , \ in an uncomfortablesuit of new store -clothes , topped off by a collar that persisted in ridin g his red neck most outrageously. A- clerical looking personage who accompanied liim was saluted by the cowboys with shouts ' of \Preacher Blue!\ , The cowboys were all in holiday at- tire , and even Old Man Ashburn was quite \ smartly \ arrayed. Posy stared in wonder at tho group, but from the way littl e Chip smiled and blushed , it was evidently not at all a ' mystery t o her. - - • ¦ - . • . ! 'P osy, \ began Santa Fe , awk- wardl y, \I want to say fer me an ' the boys an ' Old Man , yere , that we 'low we know how you an ' Chi p f e el towards each other , an ' —an '\ \We reckon you both show mig hty good taste , \ broke in Reddy Rose. \K nowin ' thi s , \ went on Santa Fe , i« we — that is — you — wal—darn it , you ' re goin ' to g it married yere , an ' now , an ' —an ' yere ' s yer weddin ' pres- ent from me an ' . thc boys !

After Posy and Chip had been made one , Dr. Bristow was the first to be equal to the occasion. Ho first pro- posed and carried ' out the kissing of tho bride. The cowboy ' s followed suit, and Posy, still half dazed , was nearly knocked off hi s feet by a rush of com- rades to claim ' tribute from the te mp t- ing mouth of the new made bride. : When the very red; sp ring wagon departed , its occupants were Posy, Chip, D r..

FAITH IN THE SHAMBLES Sick Children Bathed In the Viscera of Vewly KiUed Animals. What is known as the slaughter house cure is one of the newest freaks of metropolitan life. Its adepts are persons afflicted with tormenting bod- il y maladies , more especiall y those of a cutaneous nature , and the form of cure which they practice may be wit- nessed at some of the cattle slaug hter- ing places which abound in tho neigh- borhood of First avenue and Forty- sixth street. Strange , and what would be considered repulsive spectacles , were it not for the motive of them , are frequentl y presented in the p laces during tho hours of butchering. Mothers are to be seen with young children , troubled and sick with phys- ical infirmities , engaged in bathing the suffering ones in the viscera of freshl y killed animals , while they are yet warm and palpitating with the an- imal heat. The belief prevails that these immersions in the carcasses of animals are efficacious in restoring health and strength to cri pp led , weak and affected parts of the bod y, more particularly to the extremities , like the hands and feet. How this queer belief orig inated those acquainted with the subject cannot tell , but that the baths are strange r and more outre than the mud baths of the ancients may be readily understood. It is only on p leasant days that the believers in the slaug hter house cure make their appearance at the abattoirs. Mothers are to be met with on such days on their way throug h Forty-sixth ment ' . \ 'Give us a bat fl , \ is m u ti s im i. form of request, and the permission is rarely refused by tho butchers. In some spec ial instances the app licants are favored with the privilege of bath- ing their young in the carcasses before they have been dressed and while they are hang ing from the hooks. The proprietor of one of the slaug h- ter houses visited by believers in the cure for the purpose of undergoing the treatment said that ho could not account for the ori g in of the custom. It was first heard of subsequent to the mania for drinking blood , prevalent here for a long time , and which he thoug ht mi g ht have suggested the present remedy. The notion that those engaged in the killing and dressing of cattle are a robust and vi gorous lot of men may have had something to do with the belief. The heat and vitality of the freshly killed cattle was no doubt imparted to those indul g ing in the singular baths to some extent , and where they were taken regularly beneficial re- sults , he thought , mig ht be derived. He said that he Knew of one case of a child that had been saved from death bv the ugency of tho baths , and con- cluded that there were other cases of successful cure. Another butcher said that the baths were not likel y to become popular and that the owners of the slaug hter houses would not like to see them so , as too many demands for the cure operation would interrupt business. As for himself , he did not h ave much faith in it. Most of those who partook of the baths were the children of parents residing in the vicinity, and who were doubtless at- tracted to tho supposed cure by t he ac- cessibility of the shambles , and the further fact that It cost nothing for the treatment. The id ea of the baths mi g ht have started with tho butchers themselves , and very probably did. Both bullock and sheep carcasses were used by the believers in tho strange cure , but the prefe re nce was for bo- v inps . as t h ft v were, thouchtjo possess greater nealtn giving qualities. A medical man who was told of the cure thought that the belief was a mere mania. —New Y ork Mercury. A. Substitute for Grace. One Christmas I spent up on the m o untain si de with tw o o r thr e e others , and there we had our holiday- dinner, and it was a wholesome meal, but wanting in those delicacies that a mother or wife can best prepare. A snowstorm was raging along the mount a ins , but with o ur cheerful fir e and warm cabin , we cared notluntr for it. b \If wo had some flowers for the wish table , \ said one of the bo3's. We all wished the same. \Get out you r old letters , \ said one. We all kne w what that meant , for many a flower from the old house finds its way in letters to the boys out west. Ono found a i-o.se bud , another a violet , another a daisy, and then an- other rose was found in a mother ' s letter. Withered and faded were these tokens-from the old homes , but never did • men value flowers more than wo did . that withered bouquet. \Can 't som e , one say grace i \ said one of the boys. . No one volunteered. \The closing lines in my mother ' s letter , \ said a o o yish fellow , \ mi g ht v do. » : - \Re ad them , \ was the response that came from all. Heads were bowed around that fru- gal Christmas board , and the young man read : •: \God;bless you , my son , and God ble a i ua all. \ , n - .j . , Br MTO Vf W V ^lN^ iMnM GRAND O OT ^^^^^ M ONLY S3. 00 FOB I J i^^^^^^ ^ The News p ^ H [ )|! ^^^ S ' B em ore sf t M Mffily ; M a g ^ .
