Tricks % TAE TRADE.

How Rival Dry Goods Houses Keep In
formed ~ Each Others Novelties.
There are any number of smart and
useful tricks connected with the dry
goods trade which the average reader
knows nothing about. AS In most
every other business, competition has
made necessity of these tricks, until
there is now scarcely big establish.
ment of the retail dry-goods district that
does not resort to this or that plan to
advance its interests.u
How many shoppers imagine that all
the large stores keep one or more girls
from each department constantly em-
ployed in travelling to their rivals
headquarters to ascertain just what
they have on sale, or whether the price
Is lower than theirs The regular line
of goods Is known, of course, but now
elites crop out at times in one or other
of the various houses, and the game of
the young ladies who are paid for tour
ing purposes is to take stock of this
novelty and report to the home Office.
Surprising there is bargain sale of
dress-goods at one particular store, and
that this sale is cheaper or as cheap as
wholesale prices, each of the opposition
houses picks out six or seven Of their
best girls and sends them out to buy
different quantities of the stuff, from
twenty-five yards up. If any of the
girls happen to be recognized as an en-
ploye of the opposition house the goods
will not be sold to them. Another
clever scheme is the discount business.
Some houses give discount to their
rivals, but not always. When they do
the girls simply give an order signed by
the house they represent.
If the two houses are not friendly
and the trade requires the exchange Of
cash, It Is often the common custom for
the girls to get the card of prominent
dressmaker and present it after she has
purchased what she requires. The ma
| jority of the houses make a discount to
modistes. 1t is pretty difficult to decide
whether girl is really from a dress
maker or a rival concern, because all the
best dressmalxers keep two or three
girls, whom they call, Experienced shop
pers, employed constantly Watching
goods or getting samples.
1t is q seven days wonder among
some people how the big dry goods
stores keep track of their stock. If
they knew that every article brought
into the house is given what is called q
stock number, and is entered on an Inn
mense book in red ink, they would
have no trouble in seeing how every
thing can be kept straight. When an
| article bearing a certain number is sold
it is checked off in the big book, and
when January and July, stock-talxing
time, come round and they find any ar
ticle missing and not duly registered on
| the book as sold, they put il down an
lost or stolen.
The big dry goods stores seldom at
tach suspicion to their employees. They
are not watched half as much as some
people suppose they are. There is no
necessity, because the employees rarely
take anything, knowing full well that
their honesty is sure to be questioned
sooner or later. The only persons
watched by the detectives and floor
walkers are the shoplifters, and these
light-fingered persons keep them busy
and no mistalxe.-N. Y. Mail and Elk.

A Timely Favor.

A sense of humor has never been q
bar to ecclesiastical preferment, and,
indeed, it sometimes happens that dig
nitaries of the church are famous for
their witticisms. This is the case with a
certain clergyman of the church of En-
gland, a man of Irish birth, who was
lately raised to ian exalted bishopric.
. Accompanying his appointments,
there was certain REIMBURSEMENT Of
employments and preferments in the
diocese, and with it came a few promo
tons. .--
Atthis time the new bishop was visit
ed by curate whose manners and
services had not commended him to his
ecclesiastical superiors, and who thought
that his time had now come to make q
decided push for a ''living"-that is, the
charge Of parish - +...-
"Well, my lord" said the curate,
''now that it's raining livings, what are
you going to give me?"
81 can lend you an umbrella r. said
the bishop, coolly. .5
The curate departed without his pre-
ferment.--Youth's Companion.

THE IRRITATING MAN.
He Is the One Who Makes You Nervou
When He Is About.

He Is the One Who Makes You Nervous
When He Is About.
Did you ever experience the sensation
mot pleasant one-of being thrown
into state of nervousness by the pres
ence of some one? The person may be
stranger or an acquaintance, may be
o good friend or an enemy. There
seems to be something peculiar about
such a one that makes him almost un-
bearable, at least at times. Very like
" he doesn't affect others as he affects
you, and you may do your best to over
come what you feel to be merely your
own weakness. But the effort is vain.
He initiates you in some inexplicable
way. Tho sensation is most emphatic,
although the reason of It may be be-
yond your ability to discover.
These are a few of the symptoms OF
a common sense case, which you can-
not fail to have diagnosed for yourself
as often as you had the time or interest
necessary. You do not need to see OF
hear your man. You can just feel his
presence and 1t will send your thoughts
scurrying, no matter how well you had
them In hand before.
The man who makes you nervous il
fixture in society as long as people
are born with nerves and as long al
people are born with different dispose
tions. As long as poles of magnet at
tract and repel so long will people have
mysterious attachments and revulsions,
Who can account for It? Shall we lay
it at the door of magnetism, mesmerism
or hypnotism, or shall we say simply
imagination or perhaps hysterics2-

CRUSHED BY AN ELEPHANT.


TriEhtful Accident ut a Pleasure Resort
Near Denver.
DENVER, Col, July G-Yesterday after
noon an immense crowd gathered at
Manhe.s.n Beach, resort near here, to
witness balloon ascension by lady.
There Is a menagerie at the beach, and
It had been advertised that children
would be given ride on the back Of an
elephant.
The elephant had made two trips, and
was just returning to the animal house
with eight children on his back when the
balloon started up. The animal became
frightened at the balloon and began
trumpeting and running about, making
desperate efforts TO unseat the children.
They all fell Off and all escaped uniu-
jured but one, a little boy named Johnny
Eaton, tho son Of railroad man, who
was caught under the elephants feet and
crushed out OF all semblance to human
ity
The keeper Of the elephant then stuck
a pitchfork into the animals trunk and
was thrown high in the air by the en-
ragged brute. He, however, was not seri-
ously hurt. BY this time several other
attendants had arrived and managed to
secure the elephant with chains. The
parents of the child killed are nearly
frantic with grief.

ried Kushneer, and he went to live with
Isaac II, Sugarman, real estate dealer
and restaurant and boarding house
keeper at 1873 East Broadway. She was
sent TO n Christie street to board until
rooms were taken.
After her child was born, she says, her
husband left her, and with the Sugar

sent to divorce. She refused.
Soon afterwards, she alleges, the SUI
garmans informed her that her husband
had gone to Australia One day after
this a stranger appeared on the scene
who resembled her husband, and after
living with her 10 weeks said his name
was Ryan The woman was deceived be-
cause she was partially blind. The real
husband then appeared on the scene and
