ECONOMICAL BUYING.


Ne Guided More by the Quality Than by
h Price Of Goods.
There are two golden rules in buying.
The first is familiar: do not buy a
thing because it is cheap" This is ap-
plicable in more ways than one, but I
would place beside it another: Do not
buy a thing because it is high-priced.
The sum Of both rules is: Be guided by
quality and not by price. Cheap goods
are, as q general rule, Of poor quality.
Let the shopper remember always she
can not get something for nothing"
To be sure there are quite often bargains
in goods. and it is part Of the art Of shop
ping to look out for these, but one must
be wary and use careful Judgment here.
If n be not sur Of herself she would
better avoid them altogether.
1t is poor policy to buy things that will
o look shabby. Better have one dress
Of good quality than two Of poor quality.
1t is bad economy slso and worse taste,
to buy cheap limitations Of costly goods.
Better buy . good wool dress than o
cheap silk. Better buy no embroidery
at all than that which is coarse and on
poor material. 1t will add no beauty to
the garment on which it is placed, and
it certainly will rot be durable.
Again, high-priced goods are not al
ways the most serviceable. Dress goods
at q dollar and . half per yard are often
nc more durable, and sometimes less Sc,
than those at a dollar. The extra price
is often charged for fineness of finish or
novelty in style. This is especially true,
also, with reference to shoes. hose,
handkerchiefs, etc. II one can afford to
pay the extra price for finish or style,
nc doubt she will take pleasure in so do
ing, but we arc now considering the
subject Of economical buying for a fam
lily. II one is in the habit Of buying e
pensive goods, only such ones will be
shown her by the clerks who know her
taste, hut no false pride should prevent
her from asking to sec the cheaper
articles. $500
The habit of rapid calculation is valu-
able in shopping. For example, we are
shown q piece of goods at a dollar and
another at . dollar and a quarter per
yard, the difference in quality being
Slightly in favor Of the latter. II no
calculation in the matter is used, prob
ably the first piece would be taken, the
difference in quality not covering the
difference in price; but when we stop to
consider that the first is only thirty-six
wide, and that it will require
yards. while tho second piece is
inches wide and only nine
yards will be required, thus it is really
to buy the better piece.-Good

"STRON0 Bills" VISION.


etorv nat IL Considerably More
Strange Than True.
A Needles (Cal.) correspondent OF the
San Francisco Examiner writes: The
incidents connected with the recent
pardon OF '.Strong Bill' Williams, the
~Chcmerhueva Indian chief, his return
from San Quentin and the initiation OF
Judge j. H. West IS . suS-chief Of the
tribe are all doubtless fresh in the
minds of the Examiners readers.
As was stated, Chief ''Strong Bill"
Williams, after the initiatory cere-
monies, departed for the Blythe farm,
down the Colorado river, where ten
years ago he killed the white man Gallo
way by cutting his throat from ear to
ear. Galloway had just shot and killed
his brother, the chief Of the tribe, and
besides the feeling Of blood relationship
which actuated the retaliatory killing,
''Strong Bills" fcalty to his chief as
such was a strong incentive to the deed.
Soon after his arrival here from San
Quentin it was noticed that he was not
as lively and cheerful As it was thought
he should be under the circumstances,
and his moodiness was commented upon
by the whites IS well IS by the Indians.
Yesterday he returned from the Blythe
farm apparently . changed man, for in
stead of his ~sullen, moody air, he was
smiling, talkative and apparently much
contented with himself and the world.
He tells his story about - follows:
"When I got back from San Quentin
and got with my tribe again the Incl
dents connected with the killing of Cal.
loway were 50 plainly brought before
my mind that was thinking OF the af-
fair all the time. One night I dreamed
that Galloway came to me and told me
to go down to the Blythe farm and see
him. 1 could not resist the request, or,
as it seemed to me, the command, to so.
So, in . day or W. afterward, as you
recollect, l went down the river. In the
dream l was ordered to come to the very
spot where the killing took place exact.
ly at midnight, and to come by myself.
Il observed the command implicitly.
and, leaving my friends and compan.
ions one days journey this side Of the
Blythe farm, / travelled on down to the
place by myself. I arrived 1t the exact
spot an hour or two before midnight,
and, I tell you-I had some very strange
feelings. Every thing was As still and
quiet Is darkness and . total lack of
life could make it. and I could hear my
heart beat loud and strong. After re-
naming there itseemed to me . week in
length Of time, though It vas not
longer than IN hour, I heard . mad
bull, Is it seemed to me, below and

shoulder. I looked and saw the bull

the New York Herald, is the Golden

The relief of the pedestal, as it might
be called, is beautifully carved, mostly
in scroll figures, which stand out boldly
from the base. That portion of the
handle which runs from the base Of the
pedestal to the spring is Of Malacca

wood Of fine grain ano highly polished.
If you want to make a present Of this
kind, surprising it to he an umbrella. .
SO note will about accomplish your de-
sign.
Every lady who from time to time re-
news the bloom of youth will admire
the umbrella handle here presented.
The handle is of tortoise shell, beauti-
fully mottled. 1t is inlaid with silver,
and is useful as we'll as ornamental, for
in the handle are concealed . dainty
little powder-box and a fragrant puff.
The box is Of solid silver and the lid il
d%aintily carved. The regularity of the
silver inlaid work gives to the tortoise
shell q most unique and attractive ap-
pearance. A present of this kind might
be considered a doubtful compliment,
owing to the ~insinuation conveyed by
the box on the top Of the handle, but If
the giver should carelessly say that it
was a receptacle for a fares no ofiense
would be taken and the receiver could
use her W discretion as to its use. A
glance at n form of head might lead
one to think that it is a Jockeys cap.
On the contrary, it is a bug made to
represent as closely as possible the gold
bug made famous by Poe. The handle
is made of ebony or some very costly
wood, terminating at the top in an ex-
quisitely-carved ferrule of solid gold.
This in turn has a broad, smooth cap,
Oh which is the gold bug. The latter as
. piece of art will instantly attract at
tention, for it makes a decided contrast
10 the rest Of the handle. There is
enough of plain surface on the cap Of
the ferrulc to permitof the engraving of
the owners name. A gift of this kind,
whether it is an umbrella, parasol or
cane, is sure to win immediate apprecia-
ton.
Ladies who are subject 70 fainting
spells or who are of . highly nervous
and excitable temperament will fully
appreciate an effort in their behalf. It
is one of the latest novelties, and abroad
il met with immediate favor. The
handle is of Dresden china. mounted in
