A WOMAN DRUMMER.
Some Interesting Facts Regarding a
German Lady Commercial Traveller.

"A short time ago." says writer in
the London Queen, Il happened to
meet German lady in Coblentz who
was travelling for Il wholesale firm
of diapers. She told me that, so far us
she knew, she was then the only lady
commercial traveller ON the road at
least on the continent. And | was nat
urally curious to hear her experiences.
l imagined that the disadvantage Of
sex would be especially fe-t in the
constant travel, the continual contact
with business men, and the not infre-
uuent rebuffS which the amba sSadors
of commerce have to endure. But it
appeared that there was a very large
field of business in which the woman
hau distinct advantage over her
male rival. 1t was not only in matters
of taste and in the quick appreciation
OF changes in fashion that she showed
her superiority. The lady of whom l
am speaking Travelled mostly in the
smaller towns and villages of the
Rhine provinces. Now, in these places,
las in the country parts of England,
the shops are small, and are often
managed Almost entirely by the married
woman, while her husband is pursuing
his daily occupation elsewhere as car
penter field laborer and so on. The
ordinary commercial traveller comes
into the village shop with half an hour
to spare. and spreads his samples
While the shop woman is hesitating
the baby begins to cry in the room be-
hind, or the pot announces its inten-
ton of boiling over. Every woman is
Il mother first, then cook, and last of
all a trader. The traveller grows i'm
patient; he is wasting his time. Final
ly he decides that it is not worth while
to wait, as indeed it is not But the
lady traveller goes to work in Il differ
ent way. Women can Sympathize with
women. She instinctively infers the
baby and the pOt-au-feu, and at the
first alarm picks up her samples and
follows the shop woman into the back
p3r.or or the kitchen. Here she listens
to the domestic troubles of her client
and commingies her tears and expert
enceS. Meanwhile she is rocking the
cradle with one hand and booking or
ders with the other. In this way every
one is satisfied and no time is wasted.
The baby is soothed, the mother gets
on with her housework, and the tray
eler secures her client, effecting not
merely paper union, founded on her
firms books, but a union of hearts,
based on the sympathy OF a woman
for woman; for sentiment is some
thing even in business"

MRS. GILBERT.
The Noble Work She Is Daily Perform
ing.

For more than twenty years Mrs.
Linda Gilbert of New York City, has
worked among the prisoners all over
the country, trying to bring about bet
ter things for guilty, unfortunate hui
manity. She is the modern Elizabeth
Fry. Twenty prisons in different cities
she has provided with libraries. Only
the other day Il discharged convict from
the Springfield, Ill, prison came to her
and said: You saved me from insall-
ity. But for the books which you pro
yided [ should have gone mad" Mrs.
Gilbert has tried to improve both the
mental and physical condition of prison
ers. She believes that all punishment
should be corrective and refOrmat tory,
and that during that process we have
no right to destroy both the body and
brains of the convict. She claims that
in every prison i'm this country we are
doing both these things There Is a
frightful percentage of insanity among
those in for long TERMS" said Mrs.
Gilbert. ''The insane aSylums are con-
stantly being recruited with incurables
When you understand that % per cent
of the men confined in our prisons are
life cases, you will see what 4 terri
bic proportion are likely to, and do, go
insane. These prisoners ought to have
somet.--ng to read, something to oc-
cupy their minds after their days work
is done. Think of a human being shut
into a cell like a Gagged animal, with
nothing to employ his mind! Can you
wonder that they go mad?"

FOR SMALL BOYS RESTI .ESS

The Best Kind Of Cloth for Theil
Trousers and the Best Stockings.

The mother of a f1ourishing family
of small boys says that the best kind
of cloth for trousers is that with a
hard twisted thread, such as some of
the Scotch goods have Fine soft SER
geS and other materials hardly pay for
the buying when the wearer is addict
ed to sliding down cellar doors and
playing .eap frog with other boys
The same precaution should be taken
in buying stockings. No matter how
fine or expensive, be sure the thread
is wiry and hard twisted More than
this, if you VIII put large, oval-shaped
piece cut from the best part of worn
stockings Of the same color over the
knees before they are worn you will
find the simple ounce of prevention
worth many pounds of cure, and if
carefully done as directed below, it
will not be noticeable from the right
side. Turn the stocking right side out
ward, try on and mark where the knee
comes; lay on the piece with the right
side next to the hose, basic it smooth
ly to position and with strong cotton
thread never silk catstitch the edge
without turning it under. To this take
strong stitch through the patch but
not into the stocking underneath, and
the alternate stitches which come on
the latter entirely, only through two or
three loops on the wrong side"
