Ready made clothing Is found in most any X road store, consequently prospective buyers make the common mistake, that all teady made clothing is alike and that it matters very little where they buy.

Oer long experi- ence has taught us to handle the best only, we warrant every garment We sell to give perfect satls- faction, while orr large stock enables us to buy in such quantities that we are enabled to sell very low.

HOW TO REMOVE TAN.

On the principle that prevention is
better than cure, tan may best be

often as every other night the face
should be thoroughly rubbed with Il
fresh lemon. The vigorous but harm

the skin not only white, but with an
added soitness and smoothness.

Lambs in Society.

Tho lamb has become a feature OF
New York society. Not that sort
which irequents tho misuamed club.
Not the variety whose fleece is invit-
ingly extended near the stage doors of
theatres, for harmless little girls with
the downcast eyes, to pluck. This is
the real lamb, whose name has been
forever linked with that of Mary by
the pastoral poet
If you come to take IN early morn
ing constitutional on Fifth avenue any
pleasant day, proof of the lamb crazo
can be seen. White as snow, with col
lars adorned with tinkling bells, led
by silver chains, generally in the
hands OF pretty French maids, the
pampered embryo sovereign of Ohio
tariff ideas gambol according to Fifth
avenue etiquette.
In one OF Fifth avenues aristocratic
apartment houses is lamb that has a
maid all to itself. No pug dog was
ever reared in greater luxury. The
mysteries of It's toilet are humorous.
Nothing, in the estimation of its mis-
tress, is too good or expensive for
this lamb, The brush an d comb used
in the daily toilet are silver mounted,
and when the lamb takes its meals,
they are served in sterling silver
bowls. The daily menu consists of
milk and preparation OF cooked In
dian meal, sometimes varied by oat
meal.
At night the lamb sleeps in basket
lined with silk and cotton, at the foot
Of its mistress's bed. The mistress
claims that her pet is much more in
telligent than any dog, and far prefer
able to cat as n pet. If this modern
bopeep should suffer the loss of her
protege, the whole police force of New
York would be asked to rally to the
rescue. New York journal.

The practice of carrying babies on
bicycles, in cages or baskets attached
to the handle-bars, has become very
common, in spite of its obvious dan
gers. Physicians say, too, that the
rapid motion and the joltiug are not
good for the baby, and that the ner-
vous system is likely to be seriously
affected. The Illinois Humane Society
is trying to put an end to the practice
by invoking n State law which pro-
hibits the exposure of children in
dangerous positions. The application
of the law is doubtful, for of course it
never contemplated such case as
this; but the movement in question
seems to be wise one, and tho prac-
tice should be stopped, if possible,
both for the sake of the children and
the nervous onlookers.

Miss Alice Fleming, New York
drummer, who handles notions, is at

ness, she said: "rhere are many more
women on the road this year than
ever before. OF course, the majority
of them carry light lines of goods, and
toilet articles, patent medicines, per-
fumeries and lines of ladies' wear have
the preference, but n few carry heav.
ier goods. There is woman who has
been travelling through Illinois for
several years in the interest of gro.
cery company of st. Louis; woman
handles hardware, one sells shoes,
carrying several heavy sample trunks,
and it is now difficult to find staple
line that is not represented by wo-
man in some part of the country. 1t is
wearing life, but is greatly to be
preferred to standing behind a coun.
ter all day selling goods. "-Washing-

Fall, gentle rain, in blessed, brlmming

Cool with thy kiss tho city's burning

Moisten the meadows where the hot sun

And fall refreshing on the thirsting crops!
The warm wind for tiny cordial greeting

The painting focks for a merry welcome
bleats;
The famished fields unfold thousand
sweets,
The grass bends dimp!ing on the mountain
tops!
Fall, gentle rain, while the rejoicing lanl
Smiles thankful where each radiant gem

Fall like benediction from His hand
Who makes the storm and sunlight OF tho

Who send thee to refresh the living and
To mourn the dead that knew no love-or

Gave Him a Chance for a Joke.

Here is story told by bright
young Cincinnati lawyer on one of his
older and less scinti|lating friends;
The older attorney was pleading a
cnse before Judge Sage, and had talked
necessarily for two hours. He had
gone over and over the ground und up
into the air and down below the sur
face of the question, until it seemed rs
If nothing was left for him to say. He
had talked and talked until most of
the listeners were either asleep or
wished they were, and those who were
Gtill awake were about making up their
minds to rise in their might and threw
chairs and things at him, when sud-
denly and unexpectedly the long.
winded man stopped short and
coughed.
'I should like glass of water"
said he to the court attendant, and
the man disappeared to get it for him.
For a moment there was long
avn sigh from the listeners, aud
zen Judge Sage leaned forward to the
young lawyer who tells the story and
whispered:
"Why don't you tell your friend,
Alfred, that it is against the law to run

The New York Observer states that
Bishop Potter does not know, or at
least until recently, did not know
what cbnmp is. He says: 81 was
walking in ono of the downtown
streets in New York the other day, and
as l passed by two small boys, one
said to the other: There goes the
bish. He's no chump.' Now, I don't
know what the word chump means,
but am gratIfed that the boy was
able to identify me-" A chump is q
short, thick, heavy piece of wood; a
chump end of meat is the thick end of
joint. In the language of the boy
whose friendly criticism the Bishop
overheard a chump is dull, stupid,
laundering individual, dull of percop
tion, n blockheed, in fact. The oppo-
site to all this is keen, astute man of
affairs, a man who is bright, always on
the alert, comprohending the situation
and knowing just what to do in any
situation.
