A state of things that is curious, amaz-
ing and full of warning TO New York mer-
chants has just been disclosed. II appears
that Brooklyn is carrying avs trade from
New York, and carrying of this trade not
by superior enterprise and business meth
DDS, but taking it unto herself by the very
"rurality,n so to speak, of her ways. For
it appears that not only the women from
Jersey City and It's environs make habit
of shopping, not in New York, but in
Brooklyn, but there is also a large contin-
gent of New York women who prefer to
spend their dollars in Fulton street rather
than in Broadway.
Not that they really prefer the goods
which they can buy there TO those they
purchase in New York, but they do prefer
the way in which they are allowed to buy
them. For example, no woman who buys
a new gown here finds the clerk specially
interested in her side of the transaction.
His object is purely selfish, and consists
simply in persuading his victim into buy
ing as many yards as possible of the fabric
that costs the greatest number of dollars
per yard. But the Brooklyn clerk is dis
posed quito otherwise. Instead of assum-
ing an attitude of more or less hostility,
clerk and customer sit down comfortably
and talk matters over
They discuss fabrics, color, suitability,
price The clerk takes an interest" and
advises from the standpoint of the friend.
After this proceeding the purchase is wont
to be eminently satisfactory, because the
purchaser feels that she is getting moro
than mere money can buy; she is getting
the cultivated advice of a professional per-
son aswell as the disinterested counsel of
friend. All this is wound up in the roll
Of cloth and measured off with the yards
without extra charge. This makes her
very happy.-New York Evening Sun.

DRESSING THE CHILDREN.
1t Ia a Matter That Interests Every
Young Mother.

1t Ia a Matter That Interests Every
Young Mother.
The fall is the season of the year when
the greatest care should be exercised in
clothing our little ones.
These October days with their tickle
suns and penetrating winds are we'll
adapted to the generation of colds, sore
throats and other ailments that, once
contracted, may linger throughout the
winter. The feet must be we'll pro-
tected. Paper-soled shoes are not best
for girls or boys at any season Of the
year. Neither are the heavy double
soles. The latter style tires the feet
and does much toward giving the wearer
a heavy, disagreeable step. But there
is compromise between these two ex-
tremes.
1t is a shoe made of Dongola for the
top and foxed with straight goat. The
sole is the thickness Of the ladies' walk
ing boot and it has a spring heel. The
latter is something all mothers would do
well to adopt. 1t prevents weak ankles
and strengthens the muscles of the lower
limb. Children should be kept in these
aat-soled boots up to the age of thirteen
or fourteen.
The children's dresses this fall are I'M
usually beautiful.
The prevailing fashion seems still to
be full skirts plated on short waists
with lcose sleeves and sash belt.
Plaids are very popular and come in
all colors and variety of styles. Let

sensible, yet Inexpensive, apparel that
child can wear.
First of all comes the undervest. 1t
Is of ribbed stocl1inet, high about the
neck. but sleeveless; for, until really
cold weather is here, the long-sleeved
vests are not a necessity. Nor should
under-drawers be put on till the winter
months. Select instead wool stockings
with cotton feet. The Atwood stock
ings are often productive of chilblains,
but this new kind of hose is a very good
one.
There is one thing that one should be
particular about, and that is the garter.
Do not unde- any circumstances give a
child the round garter. 1t not only
spoils the shape of the leg, but often
times is worn so tight as to impair the
circulation of the blood, which in time
will lead to serious difficulties. The
stocking supporter is the safest and best
method of holding the stocking in
Mace. Almost every mother is familiar
with ii. It is piece Of elastic fastened
at the side Of the underwaist and catch
ing with a buckle into the top Of the
stocking. 1t not only holds the stock
ing most securely, but has tendency to
straiphten the back Of the child who al
an early age inclines to stoop.
A corset waist is undcniaoly a good
thing. 1t takes the place Of the boned
waist and can be Numbered beautifully.

4 RAPID-FIRE Gun.

Experiments in Fngisnd-Trying a New
Gun With >mokeiess Powder.
NEW YORK, October 3i.-Recent
advices from England state that
important experiments have been
carried on the past week at the
army range by Sir W. e. Arm
strong, Mitchell & Co. The princi-
pal object of the trial was 6-inch
quick firing gun of 40-calbre. The
length and mounting of the new
design are especially arranged to
be suitable for either the upper
deck or between-deck batteries OF
cruisers.
Another feature of the trial was
the use of new smokeless gun
powder. The programme began
| by firing FIVE rounds with charge
of Exc powder and a service
projectiIe for rapidity. The total
time of firing these five rounds wa:
sixty-one seconds. Five rounds o
cardite were fired. 1t was founC
quite feasible to fire with the ut
most rapidity, and yet, on accoun
of the smokeless quality of tn
powder, to ann each shot deliber
ately. The result was that out
five shots the target was strucl
four times.

that the cigarette smoker has not
