Men Behind Dress-goods Count
erS

erS.
If you have done much shopping
you must have noticed that more
men than women are employed at the
dress goods counters, observes a
Chicago Tribune shopper. 1t occurred
to the writer to ask if there was any
reason for this. The manager replied,
just as if he had been expecting some
one to ask the question. "There are
several reasons for it. Women do
not like to take the say-so of their
own sex on dress goods men have
better ideas of combination than
women; men are more diplomatic in
dealing with woman than saleswomen
are. A saleswoman can accomplish
more at some other counters than
men. But at the dress-goods counter
men make best employees. You would
naturally think that a woman could
grab up piece OF goods and show it
to advantage. / never saw one that
could do it. Few women are good
judges of combinations of colors
on the counter A modiste is, of
course, but woman cannot al
ways have a modiste with her. when
she goes shopping. Men who are in
this business take to a thing like COM
bining colors as naturally as ducks
take to water. They seem to know
as soon as they see woman what
will become her in the way OF dress
goods. There are many articles in
such a store as this which women pre-
fer to buy of their own sex, but when
it comes to dress goods they perfer to
deal with men,"

Cats; as Clocks.

Everyone knows that cats can see
in the dark, but thereasont they can do.
so is because of the. peculiar construc-
ton OF their eyes, You may have
noticed that in, a moderate light the
pupil or black part in pussy's eyes is
small and oval shaped, while in the
full glare of light it becomes narrow.
Now, in the dark, it expands to-
circle; and nearly fills the surface Of
the eyeball. K
This popularity OF the cats eye is
turned to account in a. curious manner
by the Chinese. The Able Hue relates
that when he was travelling in China
he asked his attendant what time it
was. The man went over to a. cat
that was quietly basking in the sun,
and, examining it's eyes, told the Able
that it was about two hours after
noon, and on being questioned how he
knew that, he explained that the
pupils of a cats eye were largest in
the morning, and that they gradually
grew smaller as the light Increased,
till they reached their minimum
at noon; that then they began to
widen again, till at night they once
more became large.
The good Able was filled with ad-
niration for the ingenuity OF peo-
pie who could use cats as clocks. But
it must be admitted that this way of
telling the time OF day is rather loose
one, and could only be trusted in very
clear and serene weather, for tempo
rary gloom or the darkness of a storm
would sadly derange your four-footed
clock and put it all wrong.

Too Many Bears.

A young huntsman of Helena,
Montana, was following the upper
course of the Milk River, and came
suddenly face to face with bear. He
brought his rifle to his shoulder, took
careful aim, and shot the bear dead.
The next moment second bear ap-
peared from a. rocky den. The young
hunter again made a successful shot.
TO his surprise a third bear came out
OF the den. He killed this one also,
and before he had time to remove
from the spot, bruin number four ap-
peared. It was exciting sport to be
sure, but there were more bears than
he cared to see at one time. However,
he made a good shot, and bruin
tumbled over making four dead
bears.
While the huntsman stood watch
ing his game, a fifth bear, larger than
any OF the previous ones, came out
OF the den and rushed forward. The
young man fired, but missed; and be-
fore he could reload, the Infatuated
beast was upon him One blow of the
huge paw sent the gun flying from his
grasp, but he quickly drew his hunt
ing knife, and wouned bruin in the
neck. In doing this he received a
severe squeeze from the brute, and
fearful bite on the shoulder. Then ne
lost consciousness,
When he recovered his senses, his
horse was between him and the bear.

the dyes coloring the stockings con-
tanned poisonous matter. He has

that all the many specimens submit

ton OF antimoniac oxide. AS chill

use fowls for breeding that are atleast

ROSTERS are desired reverse this. So
