tablishing itself, but not until the eggs
were laid was a real system carried out.
Then the males would take wing together
at sunrise, rising from their Ioosts IN
column, then spreading like a cloud
through the air. Then an instant's delay,
and all we're flying easily and steadily in
the direction of the chosen feeding
grounds. Thousands of hens and eggs
were ensconced in the branches, but not a
bird rose above them, and all was still. A
few hours later and the advance returned;
then another flight and another, until
finally the main body appeared, hoyered
over the forest for an instant, then each
bird dropped to the perch beside the nest
and mate. In the dense thicket of nests
and birds each seemed to know its own.
In moment the whirr and rush of wings
told that the hens had left the nest. There
was the same column and cloud with
which the males departed, and the same
course was taken-no confusion, no delay,
no apparent hesitation. In the middle of
the afternoon these returned and the
males again took wing, to be absent until
near sundown.

Dry Goods Salaries.

''It is not generally known" said c. B.
Worth, of H. B. Clatiin & Co, few days
ago, "that some of the highest salaries are
paid in cur business. We are often &C.
cused of paying starvation wages to our
clerks by people who never look at the ex-
pense entailed in running an establish
ment. Take the buyers, for instance.
There are firms in this city who pay men
from $4,000 to $4,000 a year for simply
being able to tell three-quarters of year
in advance what the fashion is going to be.
One gentleman, who buys for wholesale
house on Broadway, is said to earn 500, 1000
year.
"Dry goods houses are noted for paying
low wages to their clerks, because the sup
ply of clerks is so abundant In some of
the smaller stores the pay runs as low as
So week. But the buyer on whose judg-
ment the sale of next years fabrics de-
pends gets half as much as the President
of the United States. The smallest, and
some of the largest, salaries are paid in the
dry goods business"
GLOW does the buyer for the house dis
next year is to be?p
'Ah, that is where it requires wide
awake man. He must watch the growing
tendencies among the firms richest and
most fashionable customers at home and
abroad. Whatever has become popular
among them will make its way among the
masses, and this tide the house must catch
and swim along with it.
SIN Europe textile manufacturers make
few goods except on orders. The buyer
for firm must decide what his house can
sell next season, and order his supplies
of cloth made in advance. A serious mis-
take might be sufficient to bankrupt the
firm, by leaving them with stock on
hand of unstable goods, the patterns not
being to the liking of the firms customers.
So you can easily see why skilled buyer
can command his own price"
GLOW do you select man for such a
position ?"
Nothing less than kind of intuition is
demanded for such place. In addition,
the buyer must estimate what amount his
employer can sell of given style of goods.
If he overstocks the firm, then they are left
with old-fashioned articles on hand, which
they must resort to the 'bargain-counter'
devices to get rid of at severe loss."-
