There is a great difference in men
anh women in their methods Of buying
shoes. This, says Shoe and Leather
Facts, is the opinion of a retailer who
handles footwear for both sexes.
The additional time given to suiting
the fair sex is by no means lost. If
a woman is satisfactorily suited she
is apt to be a mora valuable and
permanent patron than a man. She
often talks about her footwear to her
friends, whereas a man seldom does.
She expatiates on the satisfaction in
style and fit which her shoes, purchased
at such and such a store, give her, and
she never forgets to mention how at
tontive and obliging the sales people in
the store are. This latter has its due
effect, and cae first time her friends ex-
~perience, or fancy they do, any lack OF
attention ia the store they have been
in the habit of dealing in heretofore,
they resolve to visit Che one which
they have heard is noted for politeness
and attention to patrons. In many
ways it pays to be especially attentive
to lady patrons and not to grudge them
al the time they wish to consume when
purchasing footwear.

Wrong Idea About Experience of Sales
men Always on the Go.
People who do not travel are IN the
habit of speaking of the lives of travel
ing men as full of pleasurable excite
ment. The travelling men say that 1t Is
almost unbearably monotoDous, says
the Atlanta Constitution.

ington to Texas" said a travelling man

stantly on the rail, and the monotony
of it is making me grow old before my

cry cotton patch and every c%rossroad on

ton that a travelling nan has in a social
way is in the fact that he meets people
in every city that he visits and wher-
ever he goes he finds friends. But he
is off and away before he has time to
enjoy their society. No, it's a big mis-
take; the travelling mans life is fright
fully lonely and m~onotonous."

against silver. Cleveland is from
eighteen to twenty hours distance

the early acts of the convention that
TepresentiOn and votes were to be

Rubinstein.

Rubinstein, the famous pianist, went to confession one day in the Kasan ca- thedral in St. Petersburg. After the confession he stepped to the "sacristy book" to inscribe his name. The offici- ating priest asked him his name, rank and profession.
 "Rubinstein, artist" came the an. swer.
 "You are in service at some theater?' "No."
 "You give instruction in some insti- tute?''
 "No. I am a musician"
 'Then you arc employed somewhere?"
 "I told you once mo-"
 "Well, how, then, shall I describe you here?''
 The two men looked at each other sev- eral moments. Then "wise thought, |" in his own estimation, came to the priest
 "What is your father?" he asked, his eyes frightening.
 Merchant of the second class"
 "Then," cried the priest, with joy, "at last we know who you arel We shall write, therefore, Son of a mer- chant of the second class ." .. This scene gave Rubinstein much food for thought It led him to establish his conservatory and the musical society in order to teach the Russian people what the word musician might mean.

GERMAN WHIST.
One of the Few Interesting Games Of Cards
 For Two Hands.

One of the Few Interesting Games Of Cards
 For Two Hands.
 There are, for some undiscovered req son, very few simple two handed card games And of these the best, and per haps the least known, is German whist. Essentially a game of skill, there is sufficient element of luck combined to insure good game even between two unequal players, and the issue IS always more or less uncertain until the last mo- ment
 An ordinary pack of whist cards is all that is required, and as far as play is concerned the rules of whist are almost entirely applicable. Thirteen cards are dealt to each player, as in the ordinary four handed game. Instead, however, of turning mp the twenty sixth card, the twenty seventh card is placed face up ward on the remainder of the pack. Tho suit of this card remains trumps through out the game.
 The dealers vis-a-vis plays first by leading a card, and the dealer must fol- low suit as in whist, or, if hs cannot, either trump or throw away a useless card.
 The first trick is now on tho table, and whoever picks it up draws the trump card from the top of the pack. The card below this is drawn by the loser, who does not show its face. The third card on the pack is now turned up and will belong to the winner of the second trick, the loser again drawing the card underneath, and so on through out the pack. In this way the player has 13 cards in his hand until the end.
 As tricks of two are difficult to keep distinct, it is generally found advisable to pile them indiscriminately for the time being and to count them out at the end of each game.
 In playing the cards have the ordi- nary whist valuations, and when the last cards have been drawn the 8 which re- main in the hand are played out in the usual way. The difference between the number of tricks taken by the dealer and his opponent is the number of points tho winner scores. Each game is usual ly considered complete in itself, but it is no unusual occurrence to find at the end that each player has 13 tricks.
 It is difficult in such a short space to give any reliable hints for players, but any one accustomed to whist will fall into the way at once. Obviously. how ever, it is not always an advantage to take the card which is turned up, and in the case of this being low one speculative player will often lead the lowest card in his hand in the hope of drawing something better underneath. The player is happy who, when it comes to playing the last 8 cards, finds him. self with one long suit and the majority of trumpsi-Home Notes.

How many marked instances of Holy Ghost power! When black trumpeter took his place in Whitefeld's audience proposing to blow the trumpet at cer- tain point in the service and put every thing into derision, somehow he could not get the trumpet to his lips, and at the close of the meeting he sought out the preacher and asked for his prayers. It was the Holy Ghost What was the matter with Hedley Wears. the mem orable soldier, when he sat with his Bi- ble before him in tent, and his derid
 ing comrades came in and jeered, say ing, "Turned Methodist, eh?' And an- other said: You hypocrite Bad as you were I never thought you would como to this, old fellow" And then he be- came the soldier evangelist, and when soldier in another regiment hundreds of miles away telegraphed his spiritual anxieties to Hedley Wears, saying, "What shall do?' Wears telegraphed as thrilling message as ever went over the wires, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved"

What power was being felt? It was the Holy Ghost And what more appro- priate? For the Holy Ghost is Q tongue of tire," and the electricity that flies along tho wires is a tongue of fire And that reminds me of what I might do now. From the place where stand on this platform thero are invisible wires or lines of influence stretching to every heart in all tho seats on the main floor and up into the boxes and galleries, and there are other innumerable wires or lines of influence reaching out from this place into the vast beyond and across continents md under the seas, for in my recent journey around the world I did not find a country where had not been preaching this gospel for many years through tho printing press. So as d telegraph operator sits or stands at given point and sends messages in all directions, and you only hear the click, click, click of the electric apparatus, but the telegrams 20 on their errand, God help me now to touch the right key and send the right message along the right wires to the right places. Who shall first call upp To whom shall send the message? guess I will send the first to all the tired, wherever they are, for there are so many tired souls. Here goes the Cbristly message, "Conr unto mo, all ye who are weary, and I will give you rest.

 Who next shall call up? Iguess the next message will be to the fatherless and widows, and here goes Gods mes sage: Leave tiny fatherless children. l will preserve them, alive, and let thy widows trust in me-" Who next shall call up? I guess my next message will be to those who have buried members of their own families, and here it goes, "The trumpets shall sound. and the dead shall rise. " Who next shall call up? guess the next message will go to those who think themselves too bad to be saved. Here it goes, Let the wicked forsake his way and tho unrighteous man his thoughts, and let him return unto tho Lord, who will bave mercy, and unto our God, who will abundant ly pardon" Who next shall call up? I guess it will be those who may think l have not yet touched their case. Here it goes, "Whosoever. whosoever, who- ioever will let him come.

A Curious Clock.

A missionary travelling in China,
happened to ask the native guide who
accompanied him the time. The
Chinaman Immediately went over to
a cat that was near by, took it up, and
carefully examined its eyes. He then
came back and announced that it was
two hours after noon. On being asked
on what principle he had made his
calculation, he replied that by some
automatic device in the eyes Of all
animals, the pupil contracts or expands
as the light increases or diminishes.
We have all experienced this on going
into the dark room. At first we can
see nothing, or very little, but after a
while the surrounding objects become
very distinct, owing to the expansion
of the pupil of the eye. This is es-
pecially so in the case of the cat; SO
much so, in fact, that the phases of
the expansion and contraction of the
pupil can be plainly marked. At day
break the cats pupils attain their
greatest size, then they gradually de-
crease in size till dark; after that they
begin to grow larger till daybreak; If
we remember these facts, by carefully
noting the size of the pupil we can
give a pretty shrewd guess at the
time. However, it must be admitted
that for the proper working of this
clock a cloudless day is absolutely
necessary, as the least cloudiness les
sons the light, and the changes of the
pupil are less noticeable.
