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 tn
semiannual inventory clean and de-
sirable stock-onc who, in fact, has the
genius Of money ,naking-is paid a sal
ary i'll the big houses Of from 5000 to
$40, 900 and often a percentage on the
yearly increase Of his sales In some of
the largest departments number Of the
most capable buyers thus receive as
much rs $50, 600 year and are regard
cd as cheap at that, a fact which can be
readily understood when it is remem-
bercd that in single department Of /.
great shop selling, say, $1,000, 900
worth Of goods a year, difference Of
per cent in the profits, which may be
the result of a good manager as distin-
guished from mediocre one, amounts
to $50, 600. On the other hand in the
lover class stores buyers in many Of the
departments are paid as low as $25
week, with no percentage. If the large
incomes are the great exception it is
also to be said that the opportunities are
moro numerous than the men with the
ability to take advantage Of them

CELERY For Home and Market,

With proper management celery may
now be had nearly all the year round,
and consumers have become more dis
terminating rs to the qualities Of the
different varieties, as is evidenced by
the following inquiry from one OF the
largest celery growers in Ohio: is it
not advisable for growers to use mere of
the self blauching varieties CT &C lery like
Perfection Heartweli or Perlc 10 GraGde
and less Golden Self Blanchirg, and are
hot the pink and red varieties the best
for marketing?'
This inquiry was submitted TO num-
Der of experienced growers III various
sections Of the country, and their an
swers as published in The American
Agriculturist are highly interesting and
show how the tastes of buyers differ in
different localities and how important
1t Is for growers to acGuaiIJ themselves
with the requirements Of their markets.
Nearly all agree that the eating quail
ties Of the pink and red varieties are
superior to those Of ali others, but for
marketing they are almost worthless.

Two Horses.

The editor Of the New York Chris

from a coachman that horses are not
unlike human beings. He writes:
Riding III friends carriage one day,
we noticed that the coachman made con-
slant efforts to restrain one of the
horses a.ld 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: Tho one that I whip can
not possibly overwork himself I 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 be
impossible to whip him so hard that he
would hurt himself. The other can trot

=. D;,g...iioa Which a Scranton Dentist
Id with Hesitation. but Success.
: E,,.,y..,-l and ferocious bulldog,
o1neI - Dr.. Ward Of Scranton, Pa,
enjoys the distinction of having a big
PG-d :illirg IL one Of his incisors, and a
coed many citizens, who have caught
GIN Of the gold i'll his mouth, wonder
~ tho filing was done. Some think it
w. done through hypnotic influence by
tie doctor over the dog, while others
insist that it was through the dogs i'm
rlicit obedience to his masters com
Eand.
The bulldogs name is Gem. He is as
ugly il appearance as /, prize winner in
& dog show. His hose is a mass Of win
kle=, ard his eyes have wicked CLEAN
for any one but his master and Mrs
Ward; His affection for them, however,
knows no bounds When Gem was dis
cQ:crol CO ,tay clasping his muzzle be-
tween }is PAYS rolling over and over
CT the floor and moaning, his mouth
was examined, and il was found that
there was big cavity IL one Of the in
cisors. It was decided that dentist
should be consulted. The dentist found
tllt5 it would be necessary to use a rub
bcr dam, and he promised to fill the
cavity provided Gem was etheriZed.
This was done, and the operation was
considered Il successful one, although
Gcm evidently thought otherwise Some
time aitcryy;srd the filling came out, and
Gem last state was worse than his
first, for lie refused to submit to another
operation with ether. At the first sniff
Of the ,>nUsthetlc be not only added
score Ct wrinkles to those already IL his
nose, but showed his teeth in SO danger
Gus q way that the dentist refused to
proceed Dr. Ward insisted that he could
make Gem stand Oh the table and have
the tooth filed without wincing. The
dentist was dubious about trusting his
hand between the brute's jaws, but
finally consented to try.
Gem was put on the table, and his
master stood in front Of him, kept his
eyes fixed on Gems and told him to
open his mouth. Gem did so, and q rub
Der dam was soon adjusted in place.
The dentist set to work with the instru-
mcnt of torture called bur, and one
VI IIt11 cars Ntul CON IL Ill Il tIIttittI1-
ing way, while the other remained cock
ed. The doctor held one finger raised
and kept his eyes fixed On Gems, that
never wandered from his masters gaze.
The attitude OF Gems ears proved q
barometer Of his sufferings when the
bur touched q spot close to the nerve.
When both ears went down, the dentist
knew he had gone as far as dogs nature
would let him 60 Gems eyes never
wandered from the doctors in the %
hours the dentist was at work Gem
stood the final polishing, and when his
master gave the word for him to get
DOM from the table Gem danced with
demonstrations of joy at his release.
Since that dag he has no trouble ii

And leave no record here behind;
That all our dreams Of love and fame,
And hopes that time has swept away,
All that CENTRALIZED this mortal frame,
Shall not return some other day.
