The Extent of Comparatively Young

There is hardly trade in the world

said a manufacturer. "a few years
ago it was a trade almost entirely IN

this country alone now there are hun

Can you give me any figures as to
its progress?"
According to returns made at the
last census. we find that the amount of
business transacted in the matter of
women's clothing foot Il up nearly
$50. 600. 600. and 1t is likely that the
greater part of this was for outer gar
ments About two-thirds of this. or
$40. 600. 600. is credited to New York
to Philadelphia, $4,000. 600; Boston.
$500. 600; Chicago. 81. 500 900; Gin
cinnati and San Francisco about 81
600, 600 each. According to the same
returns the amount of capital employed
was about 81. 500. 900; now it must be
about 10000, 000"

Paris stands at the head OF the list
of cities furnishing designs, although
we are every year advancing in that

Vienna They buy samples of what
they think would be a popular style

WORK THAT COUNTS.
It Is Never Done by Man Who Labors
without Any system.


without Amy system.
1t is one thing to work /; it is another
thing to do work. Yet men generally
are inclined to think that they ought to
have credit and ought to receive pay
according to the number of hours or
days they spend at piece of work.
rather than according to the work they
10 in given period. A man may
faithfully work all day. looking among
his papers for missing memorandum
which he needs to enable him to do a
piece of work for which he expects
payment. 1t would hardly be fair.
however, for him to include charge
for that days work in his estimate of
the value of his services to the man
who employs him. So. again, a man
may work without any system, and by
his aimless methods waste five times
rs many hours as he uses to advantage.
The work he does bears no fitting COM
parison with his working. In fact.
the unfaire st estimate man can put
upon his work is by measuring it ac-
cordiug to the time he spends in its
doing. Before a man congratula.es
himself on having worked hard and
honestly all day, or all the week
through, he would do well to stop and
see whether he has done much work,
or has merely been at work. And if
he finds that he has little to show for
his working. it behooves him to learn
how to work, in order that work may
lie result of his working. - S. S.

In treating a negro in Leipsic for
for an ulcerous affection, it WAS found
necessary to replace portions of the
skin with pieces taken from one or two
white persons. These latter pieces
gradually grew darker in color, and
finally as black as The patients own
skin. This singular fact led to an ex-
pertinent being made of transposing
portions of black skin on white pa
tient, and it was found that after few
weeks these began to grow pale. In
less than fourteen weeks they had, in
fact, grown so white as not tn be dis

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 In correspondence between a brother
 Mason, who is prominent merchant in Bos.
 ton, Mass, and Hiram lodge member of
 this city, the brother friend said: "If any
 one wishes to know what I think of Hiram
 lodge Masons will express my views in the
 words of the late Rev. David Niles Bentely of
 Norwich, Ct., and I stand toward Old
 Hiram just as he did toward the fundamen-
 tai principles of the order"
 The Rev. Brother Bentley was born at North Stonington, Ct., July 27th, 17s5, died at Norwich, Ct., June 24, 1884. He had been an enthusiastic Mason as well as popular Methodist preacher for great number of years. On account of his not denouncing Masonry during the eventful Morgan excite- menr which created so much prejudice in the minds of the people ill the old Puritanical days. some of his parishioners accused the reverend brother of heresy.
 The brave old man standing in his pulpit one Sabbath morning thus delivered himself: 'sI was virtually born 8 Mason, I have tried to live Mason and by the grace of God will die Mason."
 Had the few members of the order who have recently been instrumental in causing the Grand lodge raid on cold Hiram" No. been imbued with the same true Masonic principles and spirit as was this late Rev. Brother Bently there would have been no oc- casion for the unpleasant disaster which has occurred to the Masonic fraternity here abouts

THE FIERCE APACMES.

Some CT Geronimo's Bravess-Encoar- aging and Gratifying Words From Mt. Vernon Barracks.
 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER: An interesting account comes from Mount Vernon barracks, Alabama, of the inroads which contact with civilized society is mak- ing upon the habits and customs of some of Geronimo's fercest warriors and their no less fierce squaws. At this post there is large encampment (numbering about two hundred and ifty) of those Apache prisoners, who but short time ago struck terror to the hearts of all who were within range of their fsroc- fly. While their chief with fifty others Is at Fort Pickens, an object alike of curiosity and ! repugnance to his many visitors, the Mount Vernon prisoners are kept busy. The men | have been set to work ehopping down trees | for log huts in place of the tents they have
 been occupying and digging up roots and l stumps of trees, preparatory 10 levelling the ground.
 | As soon as the huts are finished the Indians l take possession of them, and such is the pride of the squaws in their newly acquired dwell ings and in themselves that they demand both brooms and washtubs and set about using them in imitation of their white neighbors. The women are familiar with the use of thread and needle and they make their own garments from calico and flannel which are provided by the government and which are the more acceptable if they be of bright
 red, for which color the "untutored mind" of both sexes evinces marked preference. Two of the more ambitious of the women recently appeared at the kitchen of one of the officers quarters with article of clothing they desired to have ironed, their education not being sufficiently advanced to admit of their accomplishing so delicate task. Major Sinclair, who is in charge of the barracks, is greatly interested in the captives and encourages them in all their efforts to take care of themselves.
