The Talk.


Gladstone Bros.-We do not cater to the
family trade at all, and have not noticed any
particular change. Our trade is almost en-
tirely among the restaurants, chop houses
and hotels. But for that matter we have
always handled Omaha made goods in every
line and buy them in preference to all others
For instance, we handle a full line of the
Consolidated Coffee company's goods, and the
same with all other goods made by Omaha
houses, SO that we have been carrying out
the principles advocated by TIT BEE all the
time. 1t is an excellent move and TIE BEE
should keep 1t up.
w. r. Bennett Co.-There has been q
marked increase IN the call for Omaha goods.
We carry a full line of them, and have no.
ticed an increased demand for goods of all
kinds of home manufacture since THE BEE
commenced this agitation. 1t has in
creased our business, and we are
glad to see it. Our trade is
principally among working people,
and they seem to have taken up the movemen,
in earnest.
idly growing demand for Omaha goods and
have had a number of inquiries for such
goods from my customers. The ladies see
to think that the stores do not. carry a line of
home made goods and they ask for them as
though they expected to be disap-
pointed, but the movement is gam,
ing strength. There is one thing, though,
that the manufacturers themselves seem
TO lose sight of, and that Is this: They seen
TO think that n groceryman should work of
home made goods on his customers and ad
vertise these wares to the exclusion OF al
others, but they never seem to think that
they must 90 something to bring their goods
before the people. Now, these outside manu-
facturers spend thousands OF dollars in ad
vertising their goods and creating a deman
for them, but at the same time the loca

for their goods.
Veirs Bros, grocers at $40 South Thir

bought a good share of their goods from the
local factories, but there is nov an increased
demand on the part of their customers fol
Omaha goods. They nave always made more
or less of a run on Omaha soaps. The city
statesmen report to them that tho change is
noticeable all over the city.

New Factories VIII Come.

Since the agitation on the home patronage
question was started manufacturers have
been turning their attention toward Omaha.
Even before the Manufacturers
association had become a reality the
committee appointed to draw up a
constitution was approached by two
different parties who wanted to come to
Omaha. THE BEE las received a number of
inquiries from similar sources and some of
these are likely to materlalize into something
of benefit to the city.
A company has already been organized,
with a capital of $4,000 that expects
to commence work about the
first of the month on IA tank
factory to be located at the foot OF Douglas
street. They will mako all kinds of tanks
and watts such as are used In breweries, vine
gar factories, etc. They are calculating on
at the start.

The "lady factotum" is what our Eng
lish neighbors call those engaged in the
vocation of visiting housekeeper." This
is an employment which has been highly
recommended, and which number Of
ladies in this country as well as in Eng
land have adopted. Such person visits
ladies who from ill health OK some other
reason are unable to perform their do
nestle duties. She oversees the servants,
inspects the stores and possibly under
takes shopping, marketing and the writ
ing of notes. and she performs other
offices which are Of too confidential and
responsible a nature for the ordinary
servant to undertake.
If she is a woman of energy, tact and
health she can accomplish great deal
by visiting n number of families for
about an hour day She may 90 50
far as to employ assistants in marketing
and shopping, whose work she Is able to
oversee with intelligence. She Is paid
for this work on even better scale than
a visiting governness, and if she is an
able, efficient woman in the items of in
specting stores and furnishing food at
down town prices, she can easily save q
family half her liberal remuneration.
The institution OF such vocation Is
great relief to many overburdened or
i'll or incapable housewives, and presents
an excellent and lucrative field to women
Of efficiency and refinement. 1t is a
place such as an elder sister might take
and such indeed as many elder and un-
married sisters do take for mo remunera-
ton beyond '.love and affection. New

How do snakes climb: is a question
which has been frequently asked Many
have thought that they accomplish the
feat by wrapping themselves about the
tree and following spiral course up
ward Several years ago story went
the rounds Of the papers to the effect
that two woodchoppers, having felled
large oak tree several feet in diameter
and very tall, found in it, top two com
mon blacksnakes.
After pondering for some time tine
men arrived at the conclusion that one
snake had taken hold Of the others tail,
and Thus by cooperation they had been
enabled to clasp the trunk. and by cir
cling about it had ascended to the top.
Mhatever probability may have at-
tached to this conclusion has been dis
PEELED by the observation Of two young
naturalists while hauling irewood from
the forest
A black snake, measuring perhaps a
trife over six feet, was found clinging
to the side Of a small tree, around which
it could have wrapped itself nearly twice
had it wished to do 50. Instead Of this
the snake passed right and left at short
distances, catching the folds along its
under parts over and behind the slightly
projecting roughnesses Of bark.
AS the snake rested only five or six
feet off the ground one of the young
men grasped its tail to test its climbing
qualities, but so great was the force with
which it pulled upward that 1t proved
difficult task to hold it. Finally, becom-
ing annoyed at this i'll treatment, the
snake reached down threateningly at the
offending hands, and losing its hold fell
to the ground. 1t was borne home in
triumph but was afterward returned
uninjured to the forest.-Youths Com

Our story of the Tower of Babel is
known in ChaldeaE and Armenian ira
dition as -The Story of the Tower Of
Tongues 1t is one of the earliest recol-
lections Of the Tigro- Euphrates basin.
and Il related by Berosus in the follow
ing manner:
The first inhabitants of the earth,
glorying III their own strength and size,
and despising the gods, undertook to
raise tower whose top should reach the
skies. This tower they erected in the
Place where Babylon's ruins now lay
thickly strewn over the ground. In
erecting this monster roadway to heaven
they toiled incessantly. But when il
had approached near unto heaven the
wind assisted the gods and overthrew
the work upon its contrivers; and its
ruins are said to be still at Babylon.
And at about the same time the gsds
introduced diversity ot tongues among
men, who till that time had all spoken
the one language. The place In which
they attempted to build the tower is now
called Babylon, Oh account of the con
fusion Of tongues, for confusion Is by the
Hebrews called bable. st Louis re-

Indeed, the kind hearted young fellow
insisted that I should ride his horse fol

nothing left but to accept the generous

There were pistols in the holsters, and

We reached GAINESVILLE about 5oclock
in the afternoon, and found it pretty
village, with the court house, stores and
several hotels facing little plaza, about
which was long line of hitching racks.
MT. Owen introduced Bel and myself to
the landlord Of one of the hotels, after
having secured our promise To 30 with

WE ARE CARED FOR BY TWO NOBLE WOMEN.
The scarcity Of fruit and the fact that
southern planters did not pay much at-
tention to the cultivation Of vegetables
made the south a difficult country for
fugi.iyes like Bell and myself to pass
through The only way we could get
food in mid July was to come into direct
contact with the people. for though we
now and then made Il raid on a hen
roost. the supply was uncertain and the
risk very great.
Made desperate by hunger and the sore
fatigue of our long march from South
Carolina we left the bushes in which we
had been sleeping and made straight for
a pretentious looking house, with an
avenue of giant loclists bordering the
driveway that led up to its wide piazza
We walked on with military step, so
