Some Points That May BE of Interest to

My office is situated in sunny nook

years, and have found the gentlemen
who frequent the hotel uniformly

its difficulties, and feel that my eXpe-

be about to go and do likewise.
In the first place do not expect more
than you are willing to give, and you
will never be disappointed. You will
no doubt be nervous at the outset-this
seems to be the fate of all stenographers
but the next thing is to rid yourself OF
that bugbear The only way have
ever found to do that is to forget self
entirely and think only of the dictator,
or the work in hand. 1t is, | think, the
hardest lesson stenographer has to
learn.
Then, too, never by any means sacri-
fee accuracy for mere speed. Speed
will come in good time When man

dictation, do not hurry, and thus do

magnificent spectacle, unusual trouble
and expense having been incurred in
preparing the floats and moving spec
tacles, while from the 10000 gas
and electric lights brilliant rays of
countless shades will add to the splen-

Enormous crowds will view the parade
from points of vantage along the route,
and excursion trains will be run to the

low rates for the carnival will be made
bv the various railroads next week, and
it will be possible to secure round-trip
tickets for one fare from nearly every
depot in this section.
Advantage should be taken of this OPP
portunity, for the attractions next
week are SO numerous that fresh enjoy

position, with its four concerts daily by
the grandest band in America; the fair,
with special attractions in the ring

They Go Out On the Road and Are Fairly
Successful.
1t has come to pass that women now
dispute the possession of the field with
man as a drummer. Women travel for
everything and sell everything They
are found mostly in small business,
where the orders for goods are confined
to few dollars, but occasionally there
is one w no vies with her flossy brothers,
and takes orders for thousands of dol.
lars.
One of the most successful of these
female clrummers who has visited Den.
yer and who travels extensively over
the west is Miss Green, who represents
the Mound City Pant Co. She is
large, masculine woman, and she sci.
dom enters drug, paint, or hardware
store without effectipg a sale She can
show orders for the past few years
aggregating 5000, 600 worth of paint.
There is one familiar drummer in all
the western cities. She sells satin adj.
vertising banners, which are printed
with the rules and hung upon the door
-of every room in the hotel. You have
noticed them, with their little bangle
fringe. She is most voluble talller
and usually gains her point.
There is another and very handsome
young lady who travels for lace fac
tory. She sells to all of the whole
salers, and is good authority on the
subject She knows more about laccs
than most of her male competitors.
One lady who has been registered in
Denver hotel sells draperies, and she
is q most artistic draper, selling often
large bills. She handles only the small.
err stores.
Another travels with dress straps,
which she claims is unbreakable.
A very petite young blond who carries
the odor of roses about her sells per-
fumes for one of the prominent Chicago
houses She has delicacy OF smell
which enables her to tell at a sniff the
component parts of any perfume shown
her, She is also very successful
There is certain brand of perfumed
cigarettes which is not as yet in general
use in Denver. They are extremely
narcotic and are sold in eastern cities
to Turkish bath rooms, and may be pur-
chased of any French store where wom-
ems toilet articles are sold. A very chic
young French woman is coming money
out of this and as she is hustler, the
cigarettes are being sown broadcast all
over the country
Women sell toilet articles, health

All the authorities on the cholera
concede that the only way to effectual-

our great cities and wash away the

The avenues must be flushed at inter

in order to retain perfect health. This

warm drink at meals is better than
a cold one, especially in winter or at
anytime when we are tired; and the
drinking of ice water can not be too
strongly condemned, lowering as 1t does
the temperature of the stomach and so
delaying digestion. To furnish warm
drinks for each meal, acceptable to the
palate, cheap and harmless. is no easy
question. Soups or broth once adopted
as part of two, meals in the day,as is
so frequently seen in Europe, and the
problem is half solved. 1t may be con-
cluded, after Comparing authors on

one or even two cups of moderately
strong coffee a day will not harm
healthy person. We may say, there

coffee in equal parts are considered the
best mixture. Rio is much cheaper,
and of strong pure flavor The amount
to be used for moderately strong coffee
is one tablespoon (ground) to cup.
Chicory is considered here only as an
adulterant, whereas in Europe a
very little of it, say one-halt
teaspoon of the prepared chicory to a
cup of ground coffee, is used to improve
the flavor. Next to the quantity of the
