A Cuba-stveefc haberd&she-ry firm has adopted the old trick of obtaining more than the value of an article from the purchasers by marking various goods at so much three-farthings and giving the customers three buttons, or a few pins, m lieu of the farthing, as change. As men have no use for the three buttons they are invariably left on the counter and the haberdasher makes additional profit. Customers should insist on • the farthing change, and if. it is not forthcoming call a policeman.
