DO not thrust a package at customer
as you would a pistol in the face of q
highwayman.
Never throw down goods with an air
which seems to say, II do not care
whether you buy or not"
Remember that the purchaser often
sees more in the seller than she thinks,
and refined young women have often
made valuable friends for life by their
courtesy to an accomplished customer.
Always remember that duty to your
employer demands your best service,
and duty to yourself Also,
Seek to be a modest saleswoman, and
some one will soon recognize your mer-
its.
Dress modestly and avoid cheap jew
elry. The best ornaments are prompt
ness, politeness, a well-modulated voice
and strict attention to duty.
Have your hair combed, your teeth
well brushed and your finger-nails tidy.
Customers are often repeiied by untidy
clerks of either sex.
Remember always that you are superior
to circumstances only when you make
yourself so. The most selfish, exacting
employer will gladly recognize the mer-
its Of an efficient clerk.
Frown down with womanly scorn the
nonsensical title of 'ssaleslady." 1t is a
grand thing to be a woman anything; if
you are true and good woman, good
clerk IS infinitely more respectable than
so-called ''saleslady," and the term has
shoddyish ring which is totally I'M
American.
Out of two hundred clerks in large
establishment the favorite with nearly all
OF the customers is young woman who
invariably dresses modestly in black, and
has such charming manners that it is
positive pleasure to visit her department..

THE RED ANT.
Bridging the Molasses-Too Cute for
the Pastry Cook.

Bridging the Molasses-Too Cute for
the Pastry Cook.
The following story, told by an eve
witness, is entitled to place among the
instances of intelligence among the lower
animals. A cook was much ANNOYED to
find her pastry shelves attacked by ants,
By careful watching it was discovered
that they came out twice day in search
OF food, at about in the morning and 4
in the afternoon. How We're the pies to
be protected against the invaders?
After many things had been tried with
out success, it was suggested that circle
of molasses one inch in diameter be made
around the pies. The next morning,
therefore, one of the boys, who haCf.a per-
sonal interest in the matter, got up and
prepared his attack. By a quarter of 7
everything was ready, and lie took his
point of observation.
He did not have long to wait, for at $50
o'clock he noticed that off in the left
hand corner of the pantry was line of
ants slowly making their way in the
direction of the pies. They seemed like
enemy. In front was a leader, who was
larger than any of the others, and who
always kept little ahead Of his troops.
+. They were of the sort known as the me-
diminished red ant, which is regarded as
the most intelligent of its kind, whose
SclenllHc HdIife ~ JO3WiC0 3u0T0.
Slowly they marched along in double
file, until the leader came within six
inches of the circle of molasses. Then.
evidently, signal to halt was given, for
every ant stood still while the leader
went on to investigate the unforeseen OBJ
stacle. Soon he returned, and instead of
taking his place again at the head of the
army, he went along the line, summon
ing here and there one-the leading intel
lects, probably-from the ranks.
About forty ants out of 500 stepped out
and Joined the leader. The general and
his aids held a council, and then pro-
ceeded to examine the circle of molasses.
Certain portions of it seemed to be as
signed to the different ants, and each
selected unerringly the point in the sec
ton under his charge where the stream
OF molasses was narrowest. Then the
leader made his tour of inspection.
He went around the entire circle and
decided upon one particular spot as the
narrowest; his aids joined him there, and
then, one being left to guard this narrow
point, the others returned to those who
were still in line. The order to march
was given, and the ants all made their
way to nail hole in the wall at which the
plastering was loose.
Here they broke rank and set about
carrying pieces of plaster to the place in
the molasses which had been agreed upon
as the narrowest. To and fro they went
from the nail hole to the molasses until.
at 1l:S0, O'Clock they had thrown bridge
across. Then they formed themselves In
line again and marched over, and by IL AS
every ant was eating pie.
