All Went to Profit.

New York Sun: One day last fall a Ger
man grocer who was doing business in a
small town about twenty miles from Pitts
burg sent word to jobber in the city that
he had failed and could only pay fifty cents
on the dollar of his Indebtedness. 4 man
was at once despatched to the scene. He
found the store shut up. with notice Of:
Il Vhas Failed For 2 Weeks ON the door,
but the grocer was easily to be found
We'll. Mr.. Schmidt, how is this? % was
asked
Poor trade und bad collections.
I'VE didn't think it as bad as this

In the course of half an hour the agent
began to smell a rat. and he finally made
discoveries which caused him to exclaim
Mr.. Schmidt, you haven't failed at

No? How vhas dot?''
why, you owe only $500, and here you
have stock valued at $1,000 and over ST.

That nothing to do with it. Why,
instead of so cents on the dollar you can
pay 125.'

He went to the front door and called the

winter, and desirable degree of GOODNESS
in summer. In selecting garments they
should be carefully chosen with the view
to having the weight distributed upon the
person, or to have the greatest weight
come upon the shoulders rather than the
hips Much trimming, because of its
weight, is specially to be avoided The
same is true of the heaviest braids, al
though in less degree, and when choice of
bonnet or hat is made, it should in every
instance be one that is light and dainty.
Whatever the past decisions may have
been, in choosing for the spring, let these
conditions be kept in view.

The duchess d Alencon was at this asy-
lam, of which, | hear, Adelaide of Hohen-
lohe, duchess of Augustenburg, is still an
inmate. She went out of her mind
through brooding over her dGsappoint-
ments, which have remained ever present
to her mind. One was the failure of her
husband to obtain the Danish duchies,
another was the marriage of her wealthy
Uncle Frederick, the only rich member of
the family to Mary Lee, and the thiCd was
having missed the imperial crown of
France.
She does not realize the eompensstEons,
one Of which is the rise of her daughter
Augusta to the Imperial German throne,
and the other the match which the EN-
peror made up between his sIster-in-la law,
Caroline Matilda, and the wealthiest of the
Hohenzollerns, Prince Frederick Leopold,
brother of the duchess of Connaught.
Princess Amelia of Bavaria nee Borbony

However, it must be remembered that
this salary is paid for singing only at two
services. and for attendance at one or two
reheasals week. All the rest of the
singers time is her own to dispose of as
she pleases. Proven she is an apt pupil to
her own master, ne will send to her, for
instruction, scholars whom he has not the
time to teach. Or she may secure engage
ments to sing at different church concerts,
or, laying aside her music, may take to
sewing, painting, decorating, or any of
the many ways in which girls are able to
make living No work must be under
taken which will in any way conflict with
the choir singing, for this, remember is
the reason of her existence. She is first
and before all else singer; that is her
profession. Let this never be forgotten

What Choir Singers Are paid.
Ladies Home journal

A soprano, in an average city, will be
paid, as a beginner, anywhere from 5000 to
$500 per annum As she becomes better
known and is in more thorough command
of her voice, she will average from $500
to $500. Boston pays about 5000 per an
mum better to choir singers than any other
city in my knowledge. Several sopranos
there receive yearly salaries of 81 900 and
81 200. and few 81 800
A woman with good contralto voice
will begin at an annual salary of 800
which, if she is successful, may raise to an
average Of $500. There are two churches
in Philadelphia, believe, which pay their
contraltos 800; but this in cities outside
of Boston, which as with sopranos, aver
age about $500 higher, is unusual Aud
every genuine alto-that rarest of things
in these days-will command but from
$500 to s400 per annum. The Hub. Of
course. does better than this, by adding
5000; but even with this addition. none of
these salaries appear precisely extravaga II.
or to admit of much luxury in living, and

have knowledge, for increasing salaries.

BOSTON'S NEW ETHOD.
Liquor Can Only be Sold With Food After
Nav First

BosToN, April 28.-The order has been
issued b. the Boston police board that
after May next the sale of Intoxicating
liquors over bars must be stopped. A bill
to repeal the law requiring liquors to be
sold with food was rejected in the senate
few days ago. hence the notice to saloon
keepers to remove their bars within
twenty days. The enforcement of the law
will work great injury to almost every
saloonkeeper in the city. The hotels can
more readily adapt themselves to the new
condition, having more room in which to
set tables.

Beauty and Comfort in Dress.

The great desire of women to be pretty
is accompanies by longing to be comfort
able and If she has sense, she can and
ought to be both. Every woman cannot
be qusenly in sta6ure and Of perfect mould
every woman cannot have soft. delicate
skin, cheeks like peaches. lips like cherries
in hue, and great expressive eyes hidden
under long lashes, nor can she have
wealth OF beautiful hair In short every
woman cannot be the ideal of the novel
writer, but every WOMAN can be pretty, if
she will. She can keep herself clean, so
that the blue veins will show through the
skin. she can keep her fnger-nails from
being a receptacle for collected filth, she
can thus have fresh. clear complexion.
with inviting hands and lips and teeth
She can care for her hair. by brushing and
washing so that it will be an addition to
her beauty, she can keep her teeth white
and pleasing. and when she has made the
best she can Of herself, she will see in the
glass a pretty woman.
To be pretty, care of self is essential.
The secret is only attained, when the per-
feet organism of the body Is realized. and
the fact that neglect of ones person in any
respect, hurts the whole being, it is essen
tial that baths should be taken regularly.
that proper food and drink be taken at
regular intervals and that proper attention
be given to breathing, carriage of the
body and habits of exercise But all this
while true, is trife aside from talk on
dress.
Women have decided aversion to any
style of dress that shall make them less
beautiful, and indeed have been willing
through the years to sacrifice comfort to
beauty, either real or fancied, but now the
desire to be comfortable is so strong that
it seems likely to predominant in the con-
fiict. Meanwhile women of sense are in
clined to feel that there need be no con-
hict and that both may be attained at the
same time. While the advantages of
balmorals. knickerbockers and divided
skirts are being discussed by those who
are in the lead in the matter of dress re-
form, those not quite ready to adopt any
of these extremes, owe to themselves GER
tain restrictions in dress.
First, the garment should fit not too
loosely and certainly not too snugly. They
should always be of as light weight as
possible, and then so contrived as to Sc
cure the greatest possible warmth in

How to Keep Your Friends.

Ldules nome journal
A girl | know said: I'm great one
for making friends" 1t sounded as if
she ought to be very happy, but when took
minute to think wondered if she were
good at keeping them. Making friends
is easy to a girl who is bright and happy,
whose society gives pleasure and who is
genial. But the keeping of them demands
more than this
If you want to keep a friend don't get
too intimate with her.
Have your own thoughts and permit
her to have hers.
Do not demand too much of her in the
way Of confidence.
And do not be aggressive, wanting to
know why she hasn't done this and why
she doesn think as you do
If you think your friends style of dress
is not beautiful don't tell her, you only of
fend hel, because deep in her heart she
feels that she knows great deal more
about it than you do.
Do not find fault with your friend S friend
and do not expect to be the only one given
a corner in her heart.
BE as considerate of her feelings as if she
were stranger, and remember that polite
ness is an everyday garment, and not one
intended only for high days and holidays.
To sum it up in one sentence, preserve the
courtesy of the beginning if you wish tc
keep your friendship to the end.
