THE ART OF SELLING, with How to Read
Character; Laws Governing Sales" etc., is the
attractive title of most interesting and prac-
tical work, by Mr.. F. B. Goddard, just issued
by the franklin Publishing Co., Tribune Build
ing, New York.
Considering the vast magnitude of our COM
mercial transactions. it is somewhat remark
able that no one has ever before attempted to
analyze and describe the qualities which go to
make up craftsmanship Ito tell us why it is
that one is SO much more successful as a sales
man than another who appears equally capable
and diligent.
Recognizing the need for such work, the
author, who has evidently well qualified him.
self for the task, has given US a really enter
tanning and valuable addition toncOmmercial
literature, and one which we believe will become
standard and permanent. He let's us into the
secrets of the accomplished and successful sales
man, illustrates his tact and fnesse, and tells
us how he masters men. But beyond this, the
comprehensive scope of the work embraces a
large amount of new and useful information
germane to the subject, whichwill be instruct
i've and useful to all classes of business men.
Very interesting articles are those OH The
Strongest Arguments" What Buyers Expect"
Much or Little Talk" Objects of Speaking"
"Good Buying" etc.
In the division of the work How to Read
Character" are given the most important prin-
ciples for judging people by their countenances,
Judging at First Sight" Character at Rest
| and in Notion" Methods of Studying Face" :"
etc There are also chapters on the " Changes
in Business Conditions and Methods" which
! will strike the reader as sensible and instruct
i've; also on Commercial Travellers" giving
their origin, usefulness and characteristics,
with hundreds of new and valuable "points
from men on the road. The salaries and pros
| poets of statesmen in ali parts of the country
are given, with the views of leading merchants
in all the large cities. There are also most inter
esting departments devoted to Retail Sales
men and "Saleswomen." One division of the
work is especially valuable to business men,
viz, that toward the end of the book, which
gives the most important legal principles, laws
and decisions governing sales.
The "Art of Selling" is much more than an
ordinary book. 1t is ably and faithfully writ
ten, and will be cordially welcomed by business
| men everywhere. Its tone is elevating and its
infiuanee will ba excellout,

A Change of Weapon.


Last Winter l climbed Lookout Mountain in
company with veteran of the late war. 1t
was his first visit since the day of the memo
rable assault, and as we climbed he fought the
battle over again for nay benefit. As the con-
fiet waxed hotter he grew excited, and on our
arrival at the hotel near the summit was at
fever heat We then passed ON through the
narrow defle which leads to the pinnacle,
where we were confronted by a diminutive
specimen of the genus "cracker" with these
words: If you gentlemen wish to go to the
top you must pay % cents" This was too
much for the pent-up feelings of my warlike
companion, who, tragicaliy waving his strong
right arm, shouted: won't pay it. Twen-
ty-fve years ago I came up here with a sword
in my hand" But the modern Leonidas,
moving not otherwise than to display a Dep
uty-Sheriff's badge, quietly remarked: Well,
sab. you must como up with a quarter to-day"

visited next the Cow Temple, but as I was
n heathen among the Hindoos ! had to be con-
ducted in by the back way, through a narrow,
dirty hole where the sweepiugs of the temple
are carried out. just outside the temple had
to go through line of female beggars who, all
old and deiormed and some leprous, rended
the air with their cries for help. They were
all in that hell of the women of India, the state
of widpwhood, and they were amply satisfied
with aFeoin representing the fourth of cent.
Passing through the wiIding, narrow alley
at last stood in the tery center of one of
the holiest temples of the Hindoos. 1t
looked more like q stable than temple.
Imagine stone court of about the size OF
the ordinary barnyard, with an immense, low
band-stand in the center. This court is walled
with great stalls, in which hundred sacred
bulls, with big humps on their backs, with ears
which hang down like those of rabbit instead
of standing up like the ears of our CATTLE stand.
They are white and dove colored, and they are
truly noble looking beasts. Here and there
through the courtyard and about the band
stand temple a harmless bull moves, and the
sloppy, dirty stone floor is filed with worship
ers dressed in bright colors and all in their
bare feet. One pretty girl, with red Cash
mere shawl about her head, hiding all of her
face but her black eyes. with slender but
shapely brown arms covered with gold brace
lets, and with form worthy TO be a model for
Venus clad in single cloth of dark navy blue,
brought in a garland of bright yellow flowers
fully one yard in length. She stopped before
the stall of the biggest of these bulls and pattng
him on the head, held out her garland of fow-
ers to him. chanting a prayer as she did So.
The dove-colored beast looked sleepily at her
and munched her flowers 1t was picture for
painter, and the sincerity of the worship was
evident. Other devotees were feeding the
other bulls, and many brought water from the
Gauges in round brass Jars and sprinkled it
about the temple Offering it to the gods. just

women clad in cotton clothes Of white, red
yellow and blue, which they wrapped over
their heads and pulled around their faces, SO
that the nostrils were cvered and only their
eyes shone out. Their legs were bare to the
knees, and only the better classes of them had
shoes upon their feet. Some of these latter
wore cashmere shawls of bright red, and tho
women of the upper classes held their clothes
SO that only one eye could be seen. All of the
women were gorgeous in jeWelry, and | noted
that even the poorest had their arms from wrist
to elbow covered with silver or brass bracelets.
and upon the ankles of all were great silver
bands, some of which were woven so that they
fell down and fitted themselves TO the foot like
the top of shoe. The poorer women were not
careful about keeping their faces covered and
many of these had rings in their noses as big
around as the bottom of a tin cup. Others had
earrings fastened irregularly from the lobe to
the tip of the ear, and ali carried brass jars of
