In the fitat place, he secures large and COM
modiOus establishment at low figure and fits
it up in good order. buys his stock in large
quantities, thereby getting it at the lowest mar
ket pricesi he has his Shoes made so that the
most fastidiOus cannot find fault with them; his
expenses being comparatively small, he puts his
shoes down to the lowest living rates, and then
he adyertises literally and as consequence he
sells his shoes of rapidly and gets the cash with
which to go in quest of more bargains to be again
laid before his customers, at this time of the
year, when everybody is buying shoes for the
fall and winter. We would advise them to give

Our soldiers will stand as much in need
of mittcns as stockings this winter. A
frost-bltten finger will disable them from
real service as much as n frost-bltten foot.
Now is the time, ladies, to knit mittens for
the volunteers, and have them ready against
the time they are called for. The best
mitten for the soldier is that which has one
finger and thumb, and the directions for
knitting this are as follows: i4
Cast 20 stitches on each needle, knit 20
rows of ribbing, aud 20 rows plain. Then
take the 20 stitches that are upon one nee
die and knit l6 rows, backward and for
ward. This is for the beginning of the
thumb Then take these 20 stitches on
three needles, and knit round for l6 rows,
after which narrow gradually until the
thumbs finished.
Take up 30 stitches at the lower part of
the thumb. There will then be 60 stitches
on the three needles. Knit 90 rows. Take
thc2o stitches nearest thethumb, join them
on three needles, aud knit 90 rows. Then
narrow gradually until the finger is finish
ed. Take the remaining forty stitches on
three needles, and 20 rows. Narrow grad
ually till finished.
