women Clerks of Paris.

A Paris merchant can get the pref
test and jauntiest girls in the world to
sell his goods for $40 month. In the
large retail dry-goods houses the clerks
are given "a commission on certain lines
of goods, more or less unstable and
risky. In the Bon Marche, for example,
this commission frequently raises the
earniags to $50 a month, and no grande
dame takes better care of herself or
has a finer air.

THE BUSINESS MANS LUNCH,
Hard Work and Indigestion go
Hand in Hand.

Concentrated thought, continued in robs
the stomach of necessary blood, and this is
also true of hard physical labor.
When i've horse-pow engine is made
to do ten horsepower work something is
going to break. Very often the hard
worked man coming from the field or the
Office will bolt" his food in few min
utes which will take hours to digest. Then
too, many foods are about as useful in the
stomach as a key of nails would be in a
fire under a boiler. The ill-used stomach
refuses to do its work without the proper
stimulus which it gets from the blood and
nerves. The nerves are weak and ready
to break" because they do not get the
nourishment they require from the blood,
finally the i1l-used brain is 1norbid1y wide
awake when the overworked man at
tempts to find rest in bed.
The application of common sense in the
treatment of the stomach and the whole
system brings to the busy man the full en-
joyment of life and healthy digestion when
he takes Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets to
relieve a bilious stomach or after a too
hearty meal, and Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery to purify, enrich and
vitalize the blood The pellets" are tiny
sugar-coated pills made of highly concen-
trated vegetable ingredients which relieve
the stomach of all offending matters easily
and thoroughly. They need only be taken
for a short time to cure the biliousness,
constipation and s1othfulness or torpor, of
the liver; then the Medical Discovery"
should be taken in teaspoonfu1 doses to in
crease the blood and enrich it. 1t has a
peculiar effect upon the lining membranes
Of the stomach and bowels, toning up and
Strengthening them for all time. The
whole syStem feels the effect of the pure
blood coursing through the BODY and the
nerves are vitalized and strengthened, not
deadened, OF put to sleep, as the so-called
celery. compounds and nerve mixtures do

of the ills which come from impure blood
and disordered stomach, you can eM'e

A HOUSE IN IMMATURE.

Do you contemplate building house?
If so, here is an invaluable suggestion
guaranteed to save you lot of money
and regret, and preserve the architect
from untold aggravation
In Boston there is a man Whr from
plans and specifications will make
tiny model showing in detail Just now
the completed building will look. He
charges from fifty to ninety dollars, to
duplicate in miniature a three-story
dwelling of ten or fifteen separate
apartments. Everything is accurately
reproduced from the slope of the roof
to the tread of the staircase. In this
way the prospective owner, seeing his
ideas practically realized, is able to
make timely and just criticism. For
even with lively imagination and
possible to get a very clear conception
of proportions. Verandahs that looked
luxuriously broad on. paper became
painfully contracted when actually
planked over, and it is astonishing to
see how cramped and cheap, or bald
and big is the real house that one fan
cied quite free of flaws.
The BostonianS scheme is to save
you any possible disappointments or
blunders. On a platform five feet by

ling, plastering or painting the exterior

ture Every window is in its proper
place, doors swing easily on their him
ges, halls are low or lofty and rooms
snug or airy, just as you propose in the
plans. There is the house that you
may turn it round and round, view it
from a dozen standpoints, see where it
meets your eXpecta tons, or wholly fails
to materialize your favorite theories.
1t is true that ninety dollars may
seem a tidy sum to throw away on a
toy, but those who have experienced
some of the tribulations of house build
ing will think it rather an inexpensive
eXpedent in the end.
1t used to be said that no man round

had written a book, fathered son and
built him house. But these days Of

Washington, Aug 26.-The transfer

Sandy Hook. will at once proceed ac-
cording to the original plan. Captain
Sampson, chief Of the ordnance bureau.
who personally witnessed The Sandy
Hook tests has returned to this city
and while satisfied the dynamite guns,
as they are mounted on train and ele-
waiting carriages, are all that the in
ventors claim, still he has been con-
firmed in his belief that they are not
suitable for use on ship board. The
drawbacks to such use are the great
weight of the guns and compressors and
the valuable space occupied, the short
range of the weapons and the impos-
sibility Of aiming them without turn
ing the whole ship. Besides, the ordn-
ance bureau has been meeting with sue
cess in its efforts TO develop the use of
high explosive shells in ordinary rifled
guns. 1t has already accomplished the
projection OF a siX-inch shell charged
with high explosive at a speed of 1,400
feet per second over a distance of four
miles, and if the 12-inch rifle performs
as well with a 2O0-pound charge of
dynamite, and its superior accuracy,
and long range, it will be much more
efficient for ship use than any other
form of gun.
