other at all. They drop ever so gracefully
into each other sarnls. and by drawing their
under lips against the upper teeth make a
little sound on the vacant air that passes
for cordial salute. while the admiring
world is none the wiser for the nockery.
1t is the younger girls, however, who
meet on the theater or church stems, and,
putting their foTefingers, under their chinS,
lift up the face to the proper angle for in-
printing a greeting that is a hearty kiss,
firmly on the mouth Many a miss offers
her lips held apart like these Of q child,
moist and relaxed, or ruffles her lips to
French moue, plaintive and appealing.
As rule-and the general practice Of
kissing brings it to light-American women
have scarcely EisSabe mouths. They are
not full, ripe and satin-SmoOth as the lips
OF Irish. English and Scotch women. That
is because OF our dry, changea5le air, and
the lips are therefore more typical of the
French mouth, though when drawn back n
smiling the American woman is apt to show
the prettiest, most even. white teeth OF any
nation, which is supposed to constitute a
mouths first claim to beauty.

Rules in Various Countries as TO Credit
In Mercantile establishments.
II is not generally known that in many
lines of goods credits of four and six
months are extensively given i'll Phna-
delphia, says the Times. There are tailors,
dressmakers, milliners and others who
have fashionable people with running
accounts who seldom dun or make any
trouble about payments. Most of the
large wholesale dealers themselves get
long credits abroad.
In Australia credit Of six months is
generally allowed.
In France a four months acceptance is
required 10 be present IN settlement OF the
invoice.
In Italy but little credit business is done,
ana done TitnoIs 90 III security being given.
In Cuba the time fixed for payment is
from four to five months after delivery
of the goods.
In The t5-.Imudas accounts are settled
but once a year. The 30th of June is the
day usually iIXed for the payments.
In England the payment OF the price Of
goods delivered is required at the end OF
three months dating from the day OF ship
ment.
In Austria it is scarcely possible to do
business without allowing a long credit,
which is usually one of six months.
In spain Iour-1Iiths Of the transactions
are done on cash basis, while in Portu-
gal great libeTality is shown ard quite
a long credit is generally allowed.
IL IIrkey even oDjects oi prime necessity
are sold on credit, and in that country, as
well as in Russia. The time allowed is,
in most cases, twelve months.
IN Mexico The large commercial houses
willingly give credit from six to eight
months. and in real estate trade long terms
are given customers in which TO settle
their accounts.
In Canada settlements are made at the
end Ol thirty days, with u discount of 3
per cent Sometimes credit OF from
three TO six months is allowed, but in
this case there is no discount.

AN OCCUPATION ESPECIALLY
ADAPTED TO WOMEN.
About Six Dollars Will Start
You in Business-What
One Girl Accomplished.

Any young woman whose time is not
wholly occupied by more serious duties,
who can beg or borrow the use of rain
proof stable loft, aud is able to venture five
or six dollars in an experimental invest
ment, can find charming and profitable
industry in pigeon culture.
The charm Of it lies in the birds them
selves, graceful, gentle, ciennly, harmless,
uoiseIess crea lures, who flutter down at the
call OF friendly voice, arch their necks
humbly at the touch of a caressing hand
and lend tc a barn yard that air Of pros
porous domesticity the sleek house cat gives
to a bright fireside.
But the modern enterprising young
woman who goes in for things, is aptto ask
where is the silver lining to this rosy cloud?
She can find out for herself by trip to the
city markets where the demand for fat
squads always exceeds the supply since
game has become less plentiful and white
fleshed poultry fails to satisfy the exacting
palates of wellfed Americans
The year round brace Of SQUADS fetches
fifty cents in the markets and where game
is all but an impossibility TO secure fine

Editor Times: Doing business in this

poor woman belonged to for a number Of
years, during which time the dues paid in

Being unable to read or write she was
entirely ignorant of the rules of the society
in regard to payment of dues, but had
simply paid the collector whenever he
called, benJeylng should a time come
when she needed aid she would get IT,
such time came last winter when she
was unable to work for SIX weeks, but Eo

Through certain techniCalities, of which,
owing to her inability to read, she was
entirely ignorant, It was Ga med by the
society that she was '-UnErapclal," Z" ig-

complying with every regulation printed
in the contract. Truly did the lawyer

otherwise express by a warm hand-clasp or

The modsh hostess now kisses her guests;
of course, only those of petticoat persua-

To draw back from the proffered kiss of

kissing is in vogue and every one adopting

gets a barn loft and few pairs of pigeons
and sets about raising the healthy birds.
A CHARMING OCCUPATION.
They ask but few requisites to thrive aud
multiply aud are very much less trouble
some and expensive than chickens. One
young girl who viii supply herself with
little practical information before hand,
can manage a cote Of hundred pigeons by
devoting one hour i'll twenty -four To their
conSidera ton.
II she is at all clever and energetic per-
son she will soon of her own volition multi
ply her hour and interest two or three times
and feel il not labor lost but pleasure aud
money gained, for their very presence and
the opportunity TO study them is a growing
delight while the quick return in money
for time and capital invested will inspire
her to greater effort.
However, as in all initial ventures, 1t is
best to begin on small scale. Leta woman
who can command the requisites enumer-
ated lay out five dollars in a basket full
Of fulgrown, healthy barn pigeons or
common pigeons" as they are generally
known.
Markings make little difference provided
the birds are clean, in good condition and
aboout six months old. They should not
cost more than sixty or seventy cents
apiece Before even this step is taken it is
well to find your market That is, consider
where you will be able to make steady sales
OF the squads. Any one living within an
hour by rail of Boston, New York, Phila-
delphia, St Louis or Chicago can depend on
disposing OF their produce at the city mar
kets. Summer hotels are excellent depots
for sales, or in neighborhoods where there
are many summer country houses Glen

telegram from a business friend to meet him
in Albany that night OfcOurse he forgot to
deliver his partners letter and when he went
to pack up his wife found the other wOmau's

Look Out For Your Trees.

Many inquiries have reached the
Agricultural college the last day or
two from the citizens of Fargo con.
corning an affection of their shade
trees which prevents the growth of
the foliage, and in u few days time
causes it to turn yellow, and finally to
drop off. Where this condition exists
it will be found upon examination
that the young leaves and twigs of the
tree are literally covered with a small
green apis, commonly known as "plant
louse." If this is allowed to remain
it will defoliate the trees for this sea.
son.. and perhaps kill them entirely.
The remedy IS very simple and con
sists of dissolving about one.third of
a bar of hard soap in four quarts of
boiling water, into this one quart of
kerosene should be poured. stirring
the mixture rapidly, and after this is
stirred in the whole should be diluted
to twenty quarts. This may be
sprayed upon the trees with an ordi.
nary spray force pump, and will rid
the trees of this nuisance after one or
two applications. AS the insect is the
exact color of the twigs upon which
it is found, it is apt to escape notice
unless the trees are given IL careful
examination.-Daily Commonwealth.

THE Tribune desires, on behalf
of the craft generally in North
Dakota, to acknowledge apprecia-
ton of the efforts put forth by the
Typographical Union and other
labor organizations of the state
in favor Of keeping the code print
ing in the state. The Bismarck
Tribune has always made a fight
against sending work of any kind
outside of the state that can be
done within our borders, and in so
doing it has been actuated by
higher than selfish motives. The
Tribune also believes that all
county printing should be done in
the state, and such a provision
has been inserted in the new code.
And where it is practicable, the
county work should be done in the
county wanting supplies. Every
county newspaper would be bene-
fitted by such a course, and the
state would retain from 100000
to S25o,ooo a year now sent out of
the state for county supplies. In
no county is there a printing es-
Enlistment that is not qualified to
do at least a portion of the work,
and whatever these country news
paper Offices can do they are en-
titled to. They struggle along
year after year, booming the state,
the county, the village and the in
dividual. They are poorly recon-
pensed at best, and county officers
who succumb to the blandish-
ments of the flip representative of
eastern publishing houses, and
send work out of the state that
can be done at home at slight ad-
ditional cost, are not exercising
proper discretion. Such a policy
builds up st. Louis, Chicago and
the Twin Cities, but it will not
build up North Dakota or North
Dakota institutions. Everyprint-
. ing Office in. the state, if more lib
orally p%atronized, would become a
greater tax payer and greater fac
