out of their way to tell the whole truth.
Figures in a store will account for all
purchases and sales. Once they
would not, but merchants have
advanced to that point of
scrutiny where actual purchases and
sales are very reliably recorded But
for the goods unsold, for the goods
which should be on the counters and in
stock-nO account books nor tagsAthe
goods themselves alone must answer.
There is a wonderful system of checks
and balances in the modern dry-goods
establishment, but there is an element
In the problem of sales and profits
which old-time and smaller dealers
were not obliged to consider. The
country storekeeper of quarter of
century ago had to take account of
stock in order to learn his standings
because he never knew how much he
had either bought or sold. He never
knew how much cash he ought to have
in the drawer, nor how many goods he
ought to have in stock. The city mer-
chant of to-day knows all that every
Saturday night, and perhaps at the
close of each days business, solely by
consulting the footings of his complete
account books. The extraordinary adj
vertising of recent times, by means of
displaying the goods, involves hazard
of loss which in practice is reduced to
the certainty of an immense amount of
stealing. No system of accounts foots
up the columns of stealings. In former
generations, the art of goods display
was unknown. Goods in the store were
safe from all petty thefts. There were
no crowds. few mistakes, and little
stealing. At present, there We're never
so many shrewd precautions taken
against loss of goods. and never was
there such an outgo in an illegitimate
manner. There are three channels of
stock depletion which books can not
record, i e.. sampling, mistakes, and
stealings. To ascertain this aggregate,
an inventory is essential, and until this
aggregate is recorded the profits or
looSses of the business can not be
known. The knowledge of the results
of business is largely dependent upon
the system of management and accounts
employed in the establishment. .-Boston

herself, and she and Mary laughed in

right around and looked at me and

such a thing as mother having to count

went upstairs again.

Mamma put her two little helpers in a
high chair, and then got the things
ready for the cake.
"One cup of sugar, four eggs, a cup
of butter, three cups of flour" said
mamma, as she put them on the table,
and two spoonfuls of baking powder
stirred into the -four
just then the milkman came, and
mamma ran to get the dish for him.
The box of baking powder stood by the
snowy heap of flour within Jessie's
reach.

said.
Mamma came back soon, stirred up
the cake, poured it into the pan, and
popped it into the oven.

Mamma was used to Jessie's ways Of

the oven door. Then she looked into
the baking-powder box. 1t was
empty! Jessie had put half pint of
baking powder into three cups OF flour!
No wonder the cake tried to climb
out of the oven. 1t was too late to
make another. Mamma told Uncle
Joe about it. He laughed SO hard that
Lucy thought he would choke. Then

THOMPSON'S.5 WONDER.
9. -FUL DREAM.

The new kittens lay upon an old coat
on top of a barrel Of shavings in the
woodshed. There were six of them
perfect beauties; two all black, two
black and white, one of no particular
color and one lively little tiger-cat,
black and gray with yellow stripes.
"Wel,' said Grandma Thompson,
when she had admired them duly, "we
will keep one. l think this one is the
prettiest,' and grandma touched the
little tiger-cat with her foretinger; ''but
you may choose, Mary. Silas will drown
the others in the mill-pond.''
"Ohr' Mary looked at Grandma
Thompson with vague idea that she
had turned into monster, like the wolf
in : Red Riding-H Hood" but as grand
mas face wore its usual peaceful aspect.
instead of go grandma! what a big
mouth you've got.'' Mary ventured to
say: 80 grandma! why can't we keep
them all! Poor, poor little things"'
Grandma Thompson laughed one of
her funny laughs. First she tossed her
head to one side and half shut her eyes.
SO that you would not have thought that
she was going to laugh at all, then came
a little scream, another pause, and at
last such Jolly cha! ha! ha! .ha-a-a-an
