 It is the general idea that if man wants to get suddenly and violently rich he has only to start ''saloon" A Chicago brewer recently remarked to friend: I find myself to-day the owner of 365 saloons -as many as there are days in the year. I never intended to own one saloon, and do not wish to now, but so many fail in the the saloons from those who cannot make their expenses. I have often set up old employees, who have lost their health, in the saloon business, but as rule they fail to make living and have to give up.
 Woman will not need man much longer, even if she needs him now. Miss Dora Bean of Springfield, Ohio, IS years old, is making an enviable reputation for busi- ness ability. A few months ago she hit upon a new process of making Saratoga chips which is said to excel all others. For to supplying private families and the Woman's Exchange. She sent samples of her product to wholesale. dealers. These firms are now regular customers and she furnishes them with 600 pounds per week.

 A Brooklyn manufacturer paid a bill the other day simply on account of the way it was worded. His engineer found that the hot water pump would not work and sent for machinist The latter bothered with it half day and said it must come apart. This meant a stoppage of the factory for a long time. It was suggested that a neighboring engineer be sent for, as he was sort of genius in the matter of ma chinery. He came, and after studying the pump awhile he took a hammer and gave three sharp raps on the valve. ''I reckon she'll go now," he quietly said, and, put ting on steam, ''she" did go. "The next day." says the manufacturer, q received bill from him for S25. 50. The price amazed me, but when had examined the the items I drew a check at once. The bill read this way: 'fMessrs. Blank & Co.,, Dr. to John Smith. For fixing pump, 90 cents; for knowing how, $25." Had he charged me s25.50 for fixing the pump I should have considered it exorbitant. But 50 cents was reasonable, and I recognize the value of knowledge, so I paid and said nothing.
 The Indian scout has been very useful in the far West, and now he is to have a uniform which will add much to his ap- pearance if not to his usefulness. His fatigue hat will be of black felt, with white worsted cord and tassels, having one strand of scarlet, and with an ornament in front formed of two arrows crossed, with the letters "U. s. S." in the upper intersection. For dress occasions he will have the cavalryman's helmet, except that the cords are of white mohair, with a strand of scarlet, while the plume, which falls six or eight inches below the rear visor, is to be of white horse hair with four strands of scarlet He will wear a blue shirt, like other enlisted men, but with deeper collar, so as to hold a necker- chief. His blouse and trousers are those of the cavalry, as is also his dress coat, except that it has white faeings piped with scarlet, and the chevrons of the non- commissioned Indian officer are also white piped with scarlet. The overcoat is to be made of dark Irish frieze, or some imita- ton of that material, cut ulster shape, reaching to within ten inches of the ground and with two rows of brass buttons.
