Yankees the Best Canvassers.

l employ scores of men in my bust
ness, and they are constantly chang
ing. | am obliged to select from the
applicants who come to me the bright
est and most alert of them, and / have
reduced my rules of selection to sys-
tenn. "Where were you in business
lastP" l always ask, and then the an
swer prejudices me. If the man has
been working in a small Western town,
he's no good, and l don't want him.
Ten to one he's got into lazy and reck-
less habits and doesn't care a snap for
small profits. l can't do any thing
with a man who doesn't know that
dollar is made of 100 cents. If the
man tells me he's been working in a
large Western city, Pm better salts
fed, but still this class doesn't suit
me. Their ideas are too large, and
they're too independent for their own
good. Their address is not insinuat-
ing, they are likely to be above their
work, and they are fonder of talking
to the people they visit on business
than they are of canvassing. The
clever young man who has been brought
up in small Eastern town makes a
good canvasser, but the best of them
all is the man who has drifted about
from business to business in large
Eastern city like New York or Boston.
They've got enough knowledge of the
world to make every edge cut in can
vassing, and they are plausible enough
to sell clock to jeweler. They can
make five dollars while the Western
man would be ringing the door-bell.-

BEAUTY AND HEALTH.
The Effects of Tight Clothing on the p,
son nf Eta NNnnrnr

The Effects of Tight Clothing on the Per-
son of Its Wearer.
Now that rational ideas as to dress
have acquired definite place in pub
lie esteem, it may be imagined that the
practice of tight lacings and customs
of like nature, if known at all, are
not what they used to be. A case of
sudden death lately reported from
Birmingham proves that it is still to
early to indulge in such illusory ideas.
The deceased, a servant girl of excita-
BILE temperament, died suddenly in an
epileptoid fit, and the evidence given
before the coroner respecting her death
attributed the fatal issue to asphyxia,
due in a great measure to the fact that
both neck and waist were unnaturally
CONSTRUCTED by her clothing, the former
by tight collar, the latter by belt
worn under the stays. We have here
certainly those very conditions which
would lead us to expect the worst pos
sible consequences from convulsive
seizure. There is no organ Of the body
whose free movement is at such times
more important than the heart. Yet
here we find, on the one hand, its
movement hampered by tight girdle
SO placed that it could with difficulty
be undone at critical moment; on the
other, contrivance admirably adapted
to allow the passage of the blood to
the brain, while impeding its return.
This is no isolated case as regards its
essential character, though, happily,
somewhat singular in its termination.
Minor degrees of asphyxiation, we
fear, are still submitted to by good
many of the self-torturing children OF
vanity. The tight corset and the high
heel still work mischief on the bodies
of their devoted wearers. Taste and
reason, indeed, combine to deprecate
their injurious and vulgar bondage,
and by no means unsuccessfully. Still,
| the evil maintains itself. Cases like
that above mentioned ought to, if they
do not, open the eyes of some self-wor-
shippers of the other sex who heedlpss.
| ly strive by such means to excel in a
sfckly grace. We would strongly i'm.
press on all OF this class the fact that
beauty is impossible without health,
and would advise them, in the name oil
taste as well as comfort, to avoid those
methods of contortion, one and all, BY
which elegance is only caricatured,
and health may be painfully and per.

ABOUT TRoUT-FIsHING.
A Few Hints to Young Men Who KnOv
Nothing About the Sport.

A Few Hints to Young Men Who Know
Nothing About the Sport.
The following rules are believed to
be comprehensive; but if you don't see
what you want ask for it. If you don't
want what you see, you don't have to.
In the first place, pick your fishing
grounds. If you can pick somebody's
trout-pond, you are apt to have better
luck. In this case do not obtrude your
self upon the owners attention. He
may have other fish to fry. Trout in a
strangers private pond always bite
better at night. So, sometimes do the
dogs.
Before starting on your trout trip,
lay out most of your money on rod.
This is de rigeur. A split bamboo one
with gold trimmings and a few dia-
monds in the butt, will do. You will
not catch any trout with it, but it is
useful for catching suckers. of which
you are apt to do good deal more,
any how. When you go fishing you
can hide it IN the bushes and borrow
bean pole from some country boy.
Trout are fonder of this sort of tackle.
Ubi bean i6i patriG, is their motto.
AS to flies, don't be too fly-just mus
cous enough. You will need brown
rain-shackle, an ensanguined ibis, a
roller process miller and shoofy. These
are to stick in your hat. To fish, bor-
row some cockroaches from your hotel
and few worms from the above-said
C. b. 1t is also important to carry the
customary bottled bait on your own
hook. The fisherman who can not await
bite with baited breath will not catch
any thing, aud doesn't deserve to.
In fishing, do not talk. Trout are apt
to resent such familiarity on the part
of an utter stranger. Wait and do your
talking at the supper table. where you
can introduce them to yourself-fried.
Frying overcomes their clammy re-
serve.
Having fished enough. you can en-
gage the boy from whom you borrowed
the bean pole to catch something for
you. Then resume your diamond
hilted rod and return to the hotel with
it and your fish.
If you would be the most famous
fisherman that ever lived, you can do
it very simply. In telling of what you
caught, say invariably that those
which got away were-all small. This
may come hard at first, for every one
else will be telling ''but you ought to
have seen the one [ hooked in the
Green Pool = four-pounder, sure.
could have sworn when he got away"
But stick to your story and you will
be the hero of the summer. After
they have had you dc Lundticoed and
] pronounced not insane but just honest,
the mammas of lovely daughters will
besiege so model a son-in-law, and all
the capitalists will be ready to take
you into partnership. Most informa-
tion mills would charge you about 500
for this pointer alone, but all l ask is
ten per cent OF the heiresses and the
partnerships.-Tim

A Russian Empress. Watch.

At the time of her coronation nt
Moscow, in 1924, Catherine l., EN-
press of Russia, was presented with a
watch as wonderful in every particular
as the famous Strasburg clock; even
more wonderful when the delicacy of
its construction is taken into consider
alton. 1t weighed seven ounces, and
was both repeater and a musical time
keeper. On the opposite side from the
works or time-keeping part OF the won
der there was an exact counterpart Of
the holy sepulcher with carved inn
age of the Roman guard; this scene
could be viewed through the glass in
the case. Upon opening the case the
imitation stones would roll away from
the mouth of the miniature sepulcher,
the guard would kneel, angels appear
at opposite sides of the opening. aud
about this time the music would start
up and play in soft, sweet strains the
Easter songs 80 we'll known to all Rus
slams. The maker of this wonderful
piece of mechanism is said to have
worked upon it almost unlnterruptedly
for period of nine years.-Pittsburgh
Dispatch.

died fruits. Most candy is adulterated
and colored with injurious substances,
and it is best to taboo all colored can
dies.
When a person faints lay her or him
out fiat, and with the heels higher than
the head, and loosen the clothing about
the neck and chest. If the fainting per-
son is to be carried anywhere, carry
her on your two arms if you can, with
the head hanging down over one arm.
But under no circumstances let the
head be higher than the body, for if it
is the blood can not get into the head
and the person may die. Natures
method of restoring fainting person
is to cause her to fall. In this way
blood runs into the brain by gravita-
tion and stimulates the part that con-
trolls the heart, thus exciting the heart
to action. So, when a person has fit
lay him out fiat and loosen the cloth
ing about the neck and chest. But
when a person is shot or stabbed, and
is bleeding profusely. hold him up until
he faints. The fainting stops the action
of the heart momentarily, and this
gives time for a clot to form. But if
laid out fiat the person bleeds away,
and will not faint until he is almost
dead.
Don't attempt to meddle with your
liver. The number of drugs that affect
the liver is very small, and they are
drugs that should not be taken hap
hazard. In nine cases out of ten when
you begin to physie your liver you
injure your digestion, but never touch
the liver. Of course people will take
patent medicines; if they didn't manu-
facturers would starve. People will
pay one dollar for bottle of stuff that
is worth not more than eight cents,
bottle and all. If it wasn't for patent
medicine takers a good many doctors
would starve.
A large proportion of the people
that go to the public dispensaries in
winter have some kind Of plaster on
their chests, whatever may be their
complaints. These plasters are of no
use, and the doctors have to pull them
off to get at the patient. The only
way to get them off is to hook up a
corner and give a sudden jerk; this
brings away plaster, hair and some
skin, and lifts the patient off his feet.

a Noted Female Pirate Dead.

The notorious character known as
Spanish Belle" who has fourished
on the Pacific coast since 1849, has just
died in Idaho. There is scarcely
mining camp on the Pacific coast that
she has not visited. Her history, il
correctly told. would fill large vol
ume; and it would be volume of bad
deeds only, for no good deeds have
ever been attributed to her in the
knowledge of those few who have
known her history for the past forty
years. 1t seems that she gloried in the
crimes she committed, and during her
convivial moments would relate some
incidents of her past life. From this
source it is gathered that at an early
age in her native land she became the
mistress of noted sea pirate named
Valzaj, whose vessel was a terror to
the merchant ships plying the waters
of the Pacific ocean. She boasted that
her duty was when the ship anchored
at a port of prominence, to decoy rich
men aboard the vessel, where they
would surely be robbed and murdered.
She followed this criminal career until
the discovery of gold in California,
when she left her pirate paramour,
and landed in San Francisco in the
summer of 1s49. At the time of her
death she was eighty-five years old,
although she could pass fpr woman
twenty-five years younger, San Frass

THE FARMERS GIRL.
Talk not to me of city bellies,

Talk not to me Of city bellies,
Who Heer have felt the country breezes,
With greetings chill and cold farewells,
At thought of which the hearts blood freezes:
Whose etiquette and city airs
And small talk are enough to kill me;
But oh, for me the country lass,
Whose cordial greeting doth so thrill mer
o tell me not Of the city girl,
The votary of fckle fashion,
Whose cold Elusive face foretells
Her skill in counterfeiting passion.
Give me the happy farmers girl,
Whose merry, ringing, joyous laughter
Win send o sonnet to the brain,
Its music sounding ever after.
Sing not a song of city bellies,
Who laugh and sneer at country lasses;
They never tripped o'er verdant dells,
All carpeted with fragrant grasses;
They never roamed the f1owery fields,
The leafy groves or forest shady,
For they have dressed or "shopped" OF
'called,"
Or else at home have played the lady.
Give me the rosy farmers girl,
Her cheeks aglow with early rising,
Whose lip is never seen to curl
With scorn at honest toll, but prizing
Her daily walk mid rural bowers,
In beauty vieing with the graces;
The farmers girls no rogue defours,
God bless their honest, smiling faces.
