| Dtvergences Observed in the Hours OF
Labor in Various Countries.
From Cha nabers s: Journal
A Turkish working day lasts from sure

freshment aud repose. In Montenegro the
day laborer begins work between o'clock
and o'clock in the morning knocks off ab
8 o'clock for half an hour. works on till
noon, rests Entil o'clock, and then labors
on until sunset. This is in summer. In
winter he commences work at 7:20 or 8
O'Clock. rests from IL O'clock to O'Clock, and
works uninterruptedly from that time to-
sunset. The rules respecting skilled labor are
theoretically the same, but considerable lax
iCy prevails in practice. In Servia the prlncf-
pie of individual convenience prevails In
every case. In Portugal from sunrise to sunset
is the usual length of the working day. With
| field laborsrs and workmen ia the building
trades the ummertworking day begins at
$3.50 or 5 in the morning and ends at in
the evening, two or three hours rest being

cries the rule is twelve hours in summer

NEW YoRK, Feb. 2a-The evolution of
the art OF advertising is something curious
and interesting. Particularly lie this the
case when 1t is in a woman's fertils brain
that it evolves The other day there was a
dressmaking establishment opened on a
fashionable thoroughfare. The statement
is prose, but an epic Of advertising follows.
The dressmaker hired a theater, she set it
with palms and flowers, she engaged an Or
chestra and she sent out tickets for mat
inee. She got an audience so big that
standing room only" might have been
posted if only there had been standing room.
Then TO the strains of al Dreamt l Dwelt
in Marble Halls" she posed against paste
board pillars and under portieres and let the
women spectators dream they too wore
loves of frocks and chained vassals aud serfs
at their sides
Her methods revealed study OF feminine
nature and an appreciation Of the taste for
realism. She rode u live horse upon the
stage to show riding habit, had herself
lifted off by devoted attendant and stood,
| skirts In hand, feeding the pretty animal
sugar and--setting forth her prices.
She had baskets of flowers passed up to
her over the footlights, aud she fingered ths
cards attached TO the handles and studied
them visibly and smiled at the audience and
said 1t was "a woman's curiosity
She went shopping for her spectators and
she paid calls and drank tea and gave re-
oeptions, and finally she said she would
place a $5 frock by the side of one costing
81, 900; then abe came forward In ballroom
gorgeousness, leading by the hand wee
tot of a girl The audience looked from the
satin and lace and jewels TO the curly
headed mite IN pink, two passions were sat-
isfied in the same glance, and they split
their gloves clapping hands. Then she said
her little daughter would entertain the
ladies, and the child scraped some wayering
strains ON small ribbon-tied violin. The
women dissolved In tender raptures, and
felt as If they had seen Little Lord Faunt-
leroy" and Mrs. Lsngtry on joint starring
| tour.
Such dressmaker is almost up TO losing
jewels or quarreling with her husband or
stopping runaway horse or clipping or even
refusing to wear tights, all for the good of
business. These fin de steele days are IN.

MEN BID on BOOKS. WOMEN ON FURNITURE.


There are certain fascinating places where
we gather these foggy afternoons to yearn
over antique kazak and Herman and

couches decorated with swans and laurel

pointing the fingers at old Dresden
plates and old Sevres cups and
Bauoers, but / notice that we-those OF us
that are women-don't bid on books very
extensively. Having haunted auction sales

OF time though little OF cash now those sew

dence that my sex has quick eyes for a fan
or candlestick or O DIT of old blue and

when the auctioneer gets down to books it
leaves the room. At sales Of books only
there are present few, IL any women.
And yet it Is popularity supposed THAI
itching OF the fingers TO grasp and to keep q
book Is not especially common with women.
A book, always excepting table" book,
hardly ranks as material for decorative uso,
and SO a woman reads it, studies it even,
but is quite content TO send 1t back to tho
