that IN overreaching kind of ~sh:ewdness is
praiseworthy business quality, and that sue
cess in a commercial way largely depends
upon this kind of sharpness in dealing with
customers. The first effort upon the part Of
a business man should be to gain the conf
dence and respect of his customers, and not
their ill.will by getting the best of them in a
bargain. A customer who once finds himself
swindled in buying goods will always be sus.
picious afterward Of the man who swindled
him. The dealer who thought himself SO
sharp may make a little money by the trans
action but In the long run he looses q good
and prompt.paying customer, who might
have traded with him for many years if he
had retained his friendship and induced him
by fair and square dealings, to continue his

Save Long Stemmed Roses.

1t is very interesting experiment
to start rose cuttings from your win
ter bouquets. Many superb speci-
mems are thrown away after their
beauty has departed that might
easily be fostered into growth, and in
genial weather, when planted out of
doors, might develop into fine plants
A few cuttings, too, from a bunch of
roses given by some particular friend
would be interesting as souvenirs.
At all events, it is very easy to
make the experiment by taking a
couple of cigar boxes, filling them
with sand, which should be kept wet,
and planting each slip with one or
two "eyes" below the ground and one
or two above. Small holes should be
bored in the bottom of the box and
some pieces of charcoal and broken
pottery placed at the bottom for
drainage. AS soon as the slips have
rooted they should be replanted in
small pots filled with equal parts of
sand and good earth.
1t is delightful to see the tiny
leaves starting into life and to watch
the baby nursing day by day devel-
oping into healthy plant. AS the
majority of the cuttings may never
root at all, it is best to plant several
from each variety.-New York Trib
