 Even i'll the larger transactions it will probably surprise dealers to learn how influential voice women have. The purchase of home is almost invariably determined by the women of the house. hold, and in nine cases out of ten their information as to the situation and de- sirability of purchase is gained from the newspapers.
 And every furniture dealer, dry goods dealer, groceryman and keeper of any Sort of store knows that he must ap- peal to the women if he wishes to sell his goods. One of the largest elements in the success of one of the greatest mer- chants in the world today is the fact that he knows how to appeal attractively through the advertisement to the wom an.

Why an Enterprisins Man Has No Chance

 Hummer is one of our citizens who live well and do nothing. He tolls not, neither does he spin, and yet he and his family live in comfort that is not many removes from luxury. This has subjected Hummer to adverse crit icism, which fairly lacerates his sensi- tive feelings, and he unbosomed himself to few friends the other evening while they were enjoying the good things be keeps on tap.
 There's not lazy bone in my body, " he began aggressively "I'd rather work than eat, and I've always thought that l had a great business head on me. But the records against me. My father set me up ill mercantile business, and when had balance struck at the end ot year there was not enough left to make decent assignment. On his death I came into a handsome fortune, and just thought I'd show my rela. tives how l had been misiudged by in- vesting secretly in great southern land scheme. ] weLt down gleefully to look over my new purchase and gleat over my prospects. Most of my real es. tate was at the bottom of lake, and what was on dry land wouldn raise hill of corn to the acre.
 My brother got me 8 nice position as travelling salesman, and I had sold whole carloads of goods at half price be- fore the Louse could head me off. They told nie that l must sell to hold my place, and that was what I was doing, but they discharged me so hard that I never got rightly over it. Mother bought me farm, and again i started to aston ish my folks by my business shrewd- ness. I traded the farm for the state right to patent fence.

Swiss Towns That Utilize the Mountain
 Streams.
 Besides 8 considerable number ot large water power installations Switzer- land is full of small power plants, nearly every town i'll that land of mountainS and waterfalls being vel supplied with power from the white coal, U as the melting snow on the mountain sides has well been called. When there are nc large streams, many small ones are i'm, pounded and collected ill reservoirs on the hillsides, and it is rare to find a place of any size which is not well lighted by the power of some mountain stream.
 At Montreux the electric tramwav gets its power i'll this way, and from the old Roman town of Vevey to the me. diAval castle of Chiffon one may ride in trolley car propelled by the power of an insignificant little stream which may or may not be noticed when climbing up the hillsides just above.
 The capabilities of this general util- ization of natural power are beginning to be understood everywhere, and, with the appreciation of the possibilities of the best methods of long distance trans mission, the development of many noun tain streams must surely come. There are innumerable streams, which, while very small, are yet very high, and these can with comparatively little difficulty be impounded and carried down many hundreds of feet, thus making up for their lack of volume by the great pres sure readily obtainable, and, either by the use of electricity or compressed air, the power may be transmitted to many points of application with but little loss. .-Cassier's Magazine.

4 Bible Sled.

A friend of the Listener saw funny sight down in Maine. At place there, which needn t be named, there lives 6 small boy named Jonathan Longfellow, who is third or fourth cousin of the poet, and he is a great boy too. One day this friend of the Listener was driving past young Jonathan's house and saw the boy engaged at little distance in sliding down hill on the slippery crust on some mething that was not sled. What could it be? Evidently the scrutiny of the passerby was observed by the boy. for he stopped his coasting and called out amiably, I'm sliding down hill on the Bible ? And it was the fact too. He had got the smooth, leather bound fam fly Bible, containing the generations of all the LongfelIows, and was eoasting on it with magnificent success. .-Boston Trauseript

rhs Famosa Senator Had to Hing to Gs,
 In His Own T suse.


 Senator German is a man of such regular and exemplary habits, and so seldom leaves his residence after hia dinuer, that he is not in the habit Of even carrying night key. As rule he is in bed before 10 o'clock. Not long .go he went out after dinner, expecting to be gone only an hour at the outside. He was detained, and did not return antil II 80 o'clock
 On reaching his house he found li hut up, all the lights out, and all che members of the household in their rooms. He waG forced to ring his opn doorbell The servant came to the door grumbling, and thinking of course that the senator had leng before gone to the land of Nod, made up his mind that if any one wanted to see Mr. German he would tell him it was impossible. On opening the outer door he was greatly surprised to find that it was the senator himself who was ringing the bell ai that, for him, unseemly hour. New York S....s
