Men Behind Dress-goods Count
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. Youwould
naturally think that q woman could
grab up a piece Of goods and show it
to advantage. I 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 q 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
blnlng colors as naturally as ducks
take to water. They seem to know
as soon as they see a woman what
will become her in the way of dress
goods. There are many articles in
such 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 the reason 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 OF 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- a
circle; and nearly fills the surface of
the eyeball.
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 its 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-
rairation for the ingenuity OF a. peo-
pie who could use cats as clocks. But
it must be admitted that this way OF
telling the time of day israther 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.

Prompt Ruling.

1t is chiefly in civil courts that COM
plant is made of the laws delay"
Courts martial are only temporary
organizations, and cannot continue
cases from term to term. But with
all the promptness of military legal
procedure, it is not often that a decis-
ion is obtained with so little hesita-
ton as in the following case.
An old lady living in 'Dixie" in the
time of the Rebellion brought her
complaints to the Headquarters of
the Confederate General Bragg, where
she was met by his adjutant, and the
following conversation ensued.
Old Lady Is this where Captain
Bragg lives?
Colonel Brent-Yes, madam; can
DO anything for you?
Old Lady-Well, you see, mister, I
live over where the fghtin' was, and

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 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. 1t 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 hrntsman 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-
tore 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 a
fearful bite on the shoulder. Then ne
lost consciousness,
When he recovered his senses, his
horse was between him and the bear.
The horse was kicking viciously, and
bruin, was making but feeble resist
ance, and soon numbered off into the
brush, The hunter was badly shaken
up, and the wound in his shoulder
was exceedingly painful. With diff
Guilty he mounted his horse, which was
quite >unhurt, and rode to a place Of
shelter a few miles further on, where
his injuries received attention and his
game was secured. Youths Compan-

1t has been remarked that the wear
ing by children of red stockings coin
cldes with pustular eruptions on their
legs and feet. The Board Of Health in
Paris employed M. Schutzenberger, a
chemical expert, to ascertain whether
the dyes coloring the stockings con-
tanned poisonous matter. He has
sent in his report, in which he saws
that all the many specimens submit
ted to him derived their red color from
aniline and containing large propor-
ton OF antimoniac oxide. AS chill
dren perspire freely, this matter en-
ters into solution and is thus taken
INTO the pores. The professor had no
doubt that it was the cause OF the
pustural rash which accompanies the
use OF red stockings. The Board of
Health has reported in favor OF the
introduction for wearing apparel of
dyes obtained from metallic prepara-
tlOns.

In selecting BREEDING birds, pick out
the best and discard all OF the weak,
sickly ones. Generally it is best to
use fowls for breeding that are at least
one year old. II pullets are desired,
have old hens and young cockereIs; if
roosters are desired reverse this. So
far no rule has been discovered for de-
termining the sex Of eggs; it is all guess
work. Save all the poultry manure
to use IN the garden in the spring.

DESCENT OF THE BARINos.

History Of q Great Commercial Family
Extending Through Centuries.
Two centuries ago there lived at Bre-
men, in Germany, pastor Of the Luth-
eran church named Franz Barring, or
Baering. In those days, says Spare
Moments, the ministers Of his order
might be men Of great learning, but
their circumstances were at the best
moderate. His son, John Barring, went
to England and established himself as q
clothmaker near Exeter, in Devonshire.
From the ranks OF the cloth drapers and
the linen drapers, quite as often as from
among the goldsmiths, the merchants
and bankers were then recruited. John
Baring's son, Francis, born in 1740, was
sent at an early age to learn the ''art,
trade and mystery" Of merchant, and
before he died he made himself, by con-
sent, the first merchant in the world.
he was a director in the Honorable
East Indian Company, then one of the
highest rewards to which merchant
might hope to attain; for a time he was
the great company's chairman; for
twenty-five years he sat in parliament,
then far moro exclusive body thaa it
has become under the extended suf-
frage; in 1898 he was made baronet;
in 1910 he died. But his first title to
honor is that he founded the house of
Barings. His sons were the first Barring
brothers.
