Salaries Earned by Successful Buyers.

A good buyer who year after year IN
creases his business and the reputation
of his department, who leaves for thu
semiannual inventory clean and de-
sirable stock-one who, in fact, has the
genius Of money making-is paid sal
ary in the big houses of from S., 600 to
$40, 600 and often percentage ON the
yearly increase of his sales. In some OF
the largest departments number OF the
most capable buyers thus receive as
much as $50, 900 a year and are regard
ed as cheap at that, fact which can DC
readily understood when it is remem-
bered that in single department OF
great shop selling, say, $1,000, ooo
worth of goods year, a difference OF D
per cent in the profits, which may De
the result Of a good manager as distin-
guished from mediocre one, amounts
to $50, OOO.' On the other hand, in the
lower class stores buyers in many OF the
departments are paid as low as $50 a
week, with no percentage. 1T the large
incomes are the great exception, 1t Is
also to be said that the opportunities are
more numerous than the men with the
ability to take advantage OF them

Grant Drilling the Home Militia.

Grant left West Point in midsummer
and spent his furlough in Bethel and
Georgetown. He was invited by the off-
GERS of the militia to drill the troops at

Russelsville during August OF 1914.
William Wilson and Peter Wamax are
two of the few witnesses living who re-
member the splendid occasion.
It impressed itself ineffaceably on
vounp wilson's mind because 1T seemed
wonderful, even revolutionary, to see O
vounp lad such as Cadet Grant looked,
ordering the pompous old officers about.
"He looked very young, very slender
and very pale.
"He was dressed in long blue coat,
with big epaulets and big brass buttons,
and his trousers seemed to be white,
though they may have been light gray
He wore a cap and red sash around his
waist. and he rode his horse in fine style.

yoice-that is, his way OF using 1t. Inc

Two Horses.

The editor of the New York Chris
tan Advocate learned not long since
from coachman that horses are not
unlike human beings. He writes:
Riding in friends carriage one day.
we noticed that the coachman made con-
slant efforts to restrain one OF the
horses and to hasten the other. AS the
pair were handsome and perfectly
mated. we said, "What is the difference
between these horses, that you are con-
stantly touching up one and holding IN
the other?"
Said he: "The one that / whip can.
not possibly overwork himself; Will
not say that he is lazy, but he is SO
made that he never can and never Will
do himself any damage. 1t would DC
impossible to whip him so hard that he
would hurt himself. The other can trot
a mile in less than 2:25, and he would
trot from the love of it until he drop,
ped dead. Hot or cold, he does his best. .

ROYAL HUNT TOMFOOlERY
What 1t Costs to Maintain the Famous
Sport.

A wear or two ago, says the editor OF
London Truth, / took up the matter or
the roval buckhounds, for have always
thought that anything with less OF the
redeeming feature of sport than to cart
a tame deer TO some spot, turn 1T out,
hunt it with dogs and, having hunted
it down, put it back in its cart for an
other days sport" cannot well be con-
ceived. When l was engaged III this
crusade. i received many letters assur-
ing me that the deer like being pursued
by dogs, although how the animals con-
veyed their singular idea OF pleasure 10
the writers of the letters was not ex-
nlained to me. Now that the bishops
have Joined the crusade, we may hope
that the cruel tomfoolery of this royal
hunt will soon cease.
The country pays the costs. The sal
arv of the master Of the buckhounds
(G1, 200 per annum) is always enjoyed
nv n nobleman, the occupant OF the post
changing with change OF ministers.
Besides this there are salaries to hunts
men. whips and others, the purchase
and keep of horses and hounds, etc.
should suppose that the total outlay
must be about e3, 900 per annum. Thi
is betrayed, it is true, from the CIV
list. But when the amount needed u
maintain the sovereign was investigated
in order to arrive at the total necessary
this expenditure was included in tn
estimate.
1t is suggested by the bishops that tn
quarry should cease to be deer AM
should henceforward be red herring
But the idea, as an attribute OF majesty
of the sovereign keeping lot OF dogs {
run after red herring Is childish.

FILLINGABULLDOG'S TEETH.
An Operation Which a Scranton Den.ist
Did with Hesitation, but Success.


A powerful and ferocious bulldog,
owned by DR.. Ward OF Scranton, Pa.'
snioys the distinction of having big
gold filling in one of his incisors, and
GOOD many citizens, who have caught q
CLEAN of the gold in his mouth, wonder
how the filling was done. Some think IL
was done through hypnotic influence by
the doctor over the dog, while others
insist that it was through the dogs I'M

The bulldogs name is Gem. lie IS as
Ugly in appearance as prize winner III

kles and his eyes have wicked CLEAN
for anv one but his master and Mrs.
Ward. His affection for them, however,
knows no bounds. When Gem was dis
covered one day clasping his muzzle be-
tween his paws, rolling over and over
ON the floor and moaning, his mouth
was examined, and it was found that
there was big cavity in one OF the IN
cisors. 1t was decided that a DENTIST
should be consulted. The dentist found
that it would be necessary to use rub
her dam, and he promised to I'LL the
cavity provided Gem was etherlzed.
This was done, and the operation was
considered a successful one, although
Gem evidently thought otherwise. Some
time afterward the filling came out, and
Gems last state was worse than his
first, for he refused to submit to another
operation with ether. AT the first snlff
of the anesthetic he not only added a
score of wrinkles to those already III his
nose. but showed his teeth in so danger
ous way that the dentist refused t6

the tooth filled without wincing. Inc

MILITARY SCIENCE.
simpiified Qualifications. Bicycles and h-u-
tomato Guns Are Modern Features.

II seems TO be the general opinion
among United States army officers that
the development, of military science in
the immediate future will be In the di-
rection of simplified Notifications, great
er utilization of the bicycle and the ex-
tended use of some form of automatic
gun. The modern army engineer sees
little use in raising great mounds or
earth such as used to be done when
hasty and even permanent works were
needed. The bigger the earthwork the
greater the mark for the enemy's guns.
A hole in playground has been the theo-
retical formula for fort building, and
now that we possess fieldpieces with
disappearing carriages it can be prac-
tically carried out. A gun that is capa-
BILE of rising out of an innocent looking
hole, pouring forth great volleys OF
death dealing bullets and then sinking
out of sight, leaving hardly a trace OF
its presence and certainly nothing to fire
at, is formidable enough to invest the
new theory with all needful logic. 1t
would be to an enemy what the hollow
road near Waterloo was to the culras-
siers of Napoleon.
The rifle of the future will be the au-
tomato rifle. This is the conclusion OF
military men not only Of this, but OF
other countries. General Willie, Ger
man army expert on the subject of fire.

mately be the rifle in general use by the
armies of the world Its particular point
of merit is its capacity for doing away
with the mechanical operation OF load
ing. In effect it does its own loading
leaving the soldier free to attend to thu
business of firing, thus concentrating nj
attention on his opponent and rendering
his aim surer.
, AS pointed out by General Willie, tn
force of the recoil of the automatic gu
is employed for charging and CLOSING

SOMETHING ABOUT BEETLES
Their Strange Habits, Instincts and Means
Of Getting Food.


You are all familiar with the common
black beetle known as the tumblebug,
and perhaps may have seen it rolling a |
ball with its hind legs, pushing it back
ward. The ball contains the egg of the |
beetle, and the creature is taking it TO
a place of safety.
A green beetle spotted with white is
called the tiger beetle. He is a clever
fellow and very cunning in his manner
of securing his prey. He will dig a hole
foot in depth and then crawl to the
top and form himself into bridge
across the chasm, burying his head in
such manner as to appear like some
thing inanimate, but lac will be on the
alert for the unwary creature that
makes an attempt to cross on his back.
In an instant the bridge will give way
and the prey will be precipitated into
the hole. The beetle will follow and
quickly dispatch the game, when he
will return, reform the bridge and al
lure another victim.
Old fashioned furniture is often COM
pletely ruined by the Larvae of beetle
called the anobuim. A peculiar sound
like the ticking of clock is made by
these beetles when they call TO each
other, the noise being made by striking
the jaws against their resting place, and
often in old houses filled with old fur
niture the superstitious, when they hear
this peculiar sound, imagine the place
to be haunted.
Another beetle is found in dark Gel
lars, where it thrives upon dust and
trash. 1t is so difficult to exterminate il
that it is looked upon as something un-
canny, and the ignorant regard its pres
ence as an i'll omen.
The sacred beetle of Egypt is not un
like our own common beetle, and the
female lays her egg in the same way
wrapped in a substance which is to pro
tect it and furnish food. She rolls it VI
into ball with her fore legs, sometime
carrying it long distance upon he
head; digs hole in the earth, deposit
her egg laden ball, covers it up, AM
leaves it to attain its perfect develop
ment.
