It's Not the WomS0-

Whenever there's public movement for
the amelioration of the condition of clerks
in large stores by better regulation Of their
working hours there's always great deal
said about the exactions of women shoppers,
and an appeal in behalf Of the clerks is made
to the women, as if they were principally re-
sponsible for the hardships of the statesmen ,
and saleswomen's lives. Now, that's all biz
mistake It's not tho women who make the
stores keep open late, and oppose the grant
ing of half holidays. It's the men. Women
are very regular in their shopping. They buy
by advertisement and if store announces
the day before that it is going to be closed at
a certain time you won't find crowd Of
women coming around and grumbling be-
cause they can't get in. They'll lay their
plans, and buy either before the place closes
or the next day. when it is opened again.
But tho man, when he wants something,
PUSHES off to buy it right away, whether it's
midnight Saturday or noon Sunday. If he
finds his favorite store closed, he grumbles
and goes somewhere else. just watch any
store Saturday night, and see how many men
come in to one woman. II the men would
only do little thinking for the clerks, the
employees in stores would have an easier time.
They are well enough satisfied with the treat
ment they receive from tine women.-lnter-

Mrs. Gladstone.

Her figure is tall, shapely and impressive;
her carriage is little too rapid to be entirely
graceful; her costuming ISIS English, which
requires no calculation. Despite deficiencies
in e1ternals, which French modiste would
have no difficulty in abolishing-for Mrs.
Gladstone would be charming subject for a
dressmaker of taste-she would be singled out
in any company as its most distinguished
woman. The face is uncommonly long, even
in England, very high in the forehead, and
very strong and gentle, equally devoid of ro-
nance and of pedantry. The eyes are large,
liquid, well shaped, dark blue and medita-
tive. The silvering hair is parted in the
usual way and combed in natural waves
down either cheek, as in the familiar por-
traits of noted women of forty years ago.
Her mouth is well proportioned to the other
dimensions of her face, and her voice is low
and vibrant with cordiality toward those
she addresses In the Parnell commission she
was generally accompanied by her daughter
Helen. The latter carried q small, plain
black sachel, out of which, when they were
seated, the mother took fairly large note
book, which she placed for use on her lap.
Mrs. Gladstone took copious notes. correctly
emitting the redundancies and inessentials of
the testimony. These, when the day was
over she digested into a connected narrative
for Mr. Gladstone Familiar with his pur-
poses and methods, she thus performed for
him an inestimable service. She saved him
the time that would otherwise have to be
spent reading yards of small print or attend
ing the court, and the days thus supplied
were devoted by him to national interests
Thus, not only without sacrificing jot OF
womanhood, but proving herself the truest
of friends and helps to her husband, she, too,
served the highest interests of her country

sole Margeurit, Margeurit being the chefs
name, at the Cafe Margeurit. The sole used
in this delicious dish is soft and delicate, very
white and tender. The sole is boiled first
it's the only way to cook sole-and then a
sauce is poured over it, and it is served with
excellent butter-not a frequent thing in
Paris, assure you, for the buster in Europe
is, as rule, bad This sauce is a revelation
to people who haven't eaten it. 1t is made of
shrimps and mussels You never have tasted
such delicious ecrevisses as is used at the
Margenrit for that sauce; their shrimps are
juicy little fat bulbs, different from ours, and
are cooked with the mussels, the whole being
finally poured over the sole. We can't get
such fish here any more than we can such
mussels or such shrimps. Talk in

Some people avoid electricity as they would
a plague. This is especially true of the fair
sex. The ladies always peruse the horror"
columns in the newspapers and they often
read of accidental deaths from the fluid, so
that they avoid anything and everything in
the shape of an electric wire or a dynamo.
One of these ladies who are timid in this par
ticular was downtown on shopping excur-
sion the other day. and, being weary from a
long tramp, she took seat on what appeared
to be an ordinary dry goods box. The seat
was comfortable and she rested there until a
begrimed mechanic came along and asked her
to allow him 30 get at the box. Supposing
that he wished to take out some goods the
lady arose The man removed the cover of

improvements in Cookery.

The custom of cooking quickly is in part a
matter of choice. and in part due to the ne
ceSsity TO which great many working peo-
ple are subject TO cook their meals quickly
or else TO 20 without hot breakfasts and din
ners.
Another great obstruction 70 improve
ment in the art of cooking is the almost uni
versai misconcepucn that the finer cuts OF
meat are more nutritious than the coarser
portions, coupled with an almost universal
prejudice among working people against
stewed food This prejudice is doubtless due
to the taSteleSs quality of boiled meat; boil
ing tougheas each OF the fine fbers, and de-
prives the meat almost wholly OF its dlstinc-
tive flavor
All these blunders and misconceptions must
evidently be removed before any true art of
cooking can become common practice.
The more necessary, however, does it be-
come 10 invent apparatus in which meat can
only be simmered and cannot boil. as in the
Aladdin cocker, and also 10 invent stove
or oven in which neither meat nor bread eau
be overlooked, dried up, or rendered indi-
gestible by too much heat, as IL the Aladdin
oven.
Next, people must be persuaded that bet

Cured at one of our hotels this morning. A
farmers wife who had been to Nebraska on

her appearance at breakfast. She was no

hard work had left their mark. Her dress.
too, was of remote fashion, having not even
the charm of simplicity, for she had donned
several articles Of antiquated dnery. She
had with her boxes and bundles innumerable,
big market basket filed with plants, and a
huge wire cage, partly covered with white
cloth, containing two jack rabbits. Soon a
farm wagon with her husband and little
daughter drove up-the farmer big, rough

which radiated his face on beholding his wife
made him positively handsome. The woman

SO, however. What misgivings he had re-

taken in at any time. Have the plants in
readiness also. Clean the pots, removing the
green growth on their exterior by scrubbing

HOW TO OBTAIN LAND.

Any person entitled to pre-empt
and homestead a quarter section OF
land may exercise both privileges
by taking the pre-emption first.
The government laws prohibit any
one from leaving any land of his
own to pre-empt, and if a home
stead or timber claim is desired,
it can be taken after the pre-empt-
ion has been secured. By taking
this course, a man can secure 4SO
acres of land. A pre-emption is
obtained by six months residence
and the payment of $1.25 per
acre within thirty-three months
from settlement. A residence OF
five years, and the payment OF
S22 and other small fees at the
land office, is necessary to secure
homestead or it may be- com
muted on the terms of a pre-.
emption. Lands, valuable chiefly
tor timber or stone, may be pur'
chased direct from the government
at $3.50 per acre. School lands
are sold at $1.25 per acre, on easy
terms, and the amount sold to one
person is limited to 800 acres
Tide lands are sold by the state OF
similar terms to the school lands
There is also, a special provision
for selling mineral and coal land
direct from the government.

from chappy whose liver is out of order.
When that region is sore and congested,

tenance ere you prod him under the ribs.
If his skin and eyeballs have sallow tinge.
you may infer also that his tongue is furred
his breath apt to be sour, that he has pains
not only beneath his ribs, but also nndel
the right shoulder blade. Also, that his
bowels are irregular and his digestion i'm
paired. Instead of making jocose demon
stration on his ribs, recommend him to take

party in his rooms, and they look
on the wine when it was red Till
early morning dawning found the
host pretty helpless; and two or
three of the seasoned ones lit their
cigars and threw up the windows

when they espied a bill sticker on
the way to his matutinal avocatlon,
and they determined to have some
fun. So the bill sticker was hailed
and brought in; the host, taken to
his bed and decked in his birthday
dress, was handed to the bill
sticker, and after receiving paste
bath his pillows were torn open.
and he was duly rolled in the
feathers and put to bed in them:
and his pals awaited the result
Some time after he was heard tc
move, and a CHASTITY expression
came over his face. At first view
of himself he jumped out of bed
and flew to the cheval glass
when he gave it up-and sadly re-
marked: PPM reincarnate, by
