this want that the enterprising saloon

the customer gets his morning nip on the
way to the department he pays twenty-five
cents and receives a drink in a small bot

the day, when the clerk feels the need of a
little more stimulus, he can go into his

Cost of a Tailor Made Dress.

/ ANY woman who can mike dress is en-
titled to s25, provided it is made right and
gives satisfaction In such case it is not
only cheap, but a positive luxury. 1t gives
customer grace, ease, comfort and service.
1t puts her at her best. There is about a
well made costume q finish that comes
from intelligence and is wholly lacking in
hit OF miss fit. You can't tell a new
artistic gown. 1t is fresh, bright, pleasing
and ultra but not new for the reason that
fine trimmings are used. The Innings have
body without starch, and the whalebones
bend to the figure instead of from it, as is
the case with steels and celluloid. Then,
too, there are the delicate ruchings about
the neck and sleeves, the cloth lined pocket
and the faint scent Of lavender orris or
altar that is not a characteristic of cheap
Gnery.
The thing is, after all, as broad as it is
long. BY close buying dress pattern can
be had for $40. The findings will cost s.
which, with 525 for making by an artistic
will bring the total to $40. This means the
very perfection Of fit, quiet, lady like
style and a costume that may be worn six
months without interruption if necessary.
While it lasts the owner has the satisfac-
ton of knowing and feeling that she is
dressed like a lady.
On the other hand the customer, being
i'll advised, pays $40 for some alleged i'm
portation and IS for Innings, threads, etc
The dressmaker recklessly chops into the
cloth and, finding herself limited, demands
buckle, some passementerie and bolt OF
ribbon to finish of and cover up her blum
der. By the time it is finished the bill OF
expenses amounts to $40, at the very lowest
estimate. The dress is failure; it fit,
badly and feels worse, and not a penny's
worth of comfort remains for the Witch o.

The Cost of Gas in London.

The issue of the accounts for the half
year ending Dec. 81 of the three gas
companies distributing gas in London en-
ables a calculation TO be made Of the cost
Of and the results derived from manufac-
turing and supplying gas to the large and
thickly populated areas covered by these
companies in 1889. The gross amount of
capital and borrowed money required to
light London with gas in the entire year
was Ga, $50, 800, which is an increase OF
9126,673 on the figures for the preceding
year. BY the working of this capital a
revenue of "a, 40S, 1923 was earned, of which
sum 1880, 224 was for gas sold 10 consul
mers, E2l0,420 was for public lighting
stoves, 81 40, 251 from rcSiduals obtained
from the carbonization of the coal used for
the production of gas, and a balance OF
Gl7, al from miscellaneous sources.
The coal required for the manufacture Of
the gas needed in London during the year
cost no less than q 500, 300 or G70, 669 more
than in 1855. The expenses of labor
amounted to GAS SSt, being an increase OF
47l 500, which is nearly all accounted for
by the change of working in the retort
houses During the last three or foul
months of the year, from twelve hour tc
eight hour shifts. Several of the Other
items of expenditure show enormous in
creases, the result being that the gross
profit Of the companies fell to 81, 213, 40
which is upwards of a quarter of million
less than their profit for the year 1SSS.-

That pink and white young woman was
Miss Mabel Wright, who has been called
such n beauty, and who was more than
ever talked about when she married the di,
vorced brother-in-law of the Duchess OF
Manchester, Her hair was exquisite, be
ing that perfect blonde so seldom seen eX-
cept on the heads of babies, but she lacked
expression. Her discovery was very funny.
One morning at Narragansett one of the
gilded youths went in bathing very early.
Suddenly as he was swimming far out
there seemed to come from the depths of
the deep blue sea n mermaid, whose long
yellow hair was floating in the water.
With his mouth full Of salt it was rather
difficult for a suffering young man to
speak but he managed to gasp out: "Are
you Venus'" Nobody knows what she an
swered to this, but an introduction to two
or three fashionable women over at New
port followed, and Miss Mabel Wright got
in the swim from knowing how to float
successfully. Skillful, wasn't it?-New

Caring for the Baby.

A knitted blanket or an embroidered
cashmere one can be wrapped around the
baby unless the weather is very warm. Ii
is always safe to use one when it is carried
from one room to another, to protect the
head from draughts. Little knitted socks
keep the feet warm and add much to its
comfort
Do not be afraid of fresh air. Open the
window and provide artificial heat suft
Gent to keep the room at a temperature OF
rs dogs. Do not let the air blow directl y
upon the child; q screen placed near the
window or a strip of flannel pinned in from
of the opening will prevent this
Take the baby into the open air every
pleasant day, putting on sufficient clothing
to keep it warm. Do not trust it in a baby
carriage with ayoung girl, whose careless
ness might iniure it for life.
Always dress and undress Young baby
by an open fire. If it cries during the day
unpinning its foot blanket and warming
its feet will sometimes quiet it.-Ladies

Who're Women Fail. and Why.

Practical business men, as a rule, do not
feel much interest in or respect for the
efforts of women who, while they would
compete on business arena, refuse to be
governed by business methods. There is a
demand for home made pickles and pre-
serves at a fair business profit, but only a
few women who can but partially supply
the demand have taken advantage of it.
Women, as n rule fail in this work for
two reasons. First, because they do not
do their work by exact methods, which
always give a uniform result, but by a
species of guesswork, which requires that
every lot of goods shall be sampled Sec
ondly, they are anxious for an immense
return from their goods at once and usually
overestimate the price. They are often in
such need Of money before they begin tc
work that they cannot afford to put their
goods before the public as a business man
does and expect no income till they are
well introduced. They therefore come un-
der the head of objects Of charity rather
than as Independent business workers.

Napoleon's Birthplace.

The house where Napoleon was born, at
Ajaccio, was duly bonoreG by President
Carnot on his visit to Corsica. 1t is stu
ated in what would be called now an old
lane. The Bonaparte family were only
tenants of one of the two wings, and that
wing has been specially whi!ewasLed. A
small garden serves as entrance to the
dwelling, and sprigs of ivy, brought from
Ohiselhurst, commence to creep around
the walls. The rooms are tiled, cold and
poor; that wherein Napoleon wHs born,
with its chair bed, is still unchanged. 1t
contains the busts of the great BoEaparte
and the prince imperial-the first and the
last of the Napoleons. In the special Wis
itors' register, kept for rulers and princes,
NJ. Carnots signature follows that of the
ex-Empress Eugene. The cloth covering
an old piano has been morseled away by
visitors for relics Many of the Corsican
mayors came forty miles to welcome NJ.
