Never before was a war so written up

and 1t is estimated that the city jour
mails spend in the aggregate for war
correspondence a hundred thousand
dollars a day. Indeed. millions would
soon be eaten up by the fleets of steam
yachts and tugs manned by reporters,
sketchers and photographers, fiuttering

encc to American Visitors.
The force of American demand is be-
ing once more eXemplified in London
by the placing at all important railway
stations of chairs in connection with
the bcotblacll brigade. This work says
the London News, is undertaken by the
Central Shoeblack society. There is al
ready such accommodation provided at
the viaduct station. 1t appears that
the American gentlemen visiting Lon
don express surprise that they are ex-
pected to stand while they have their
boots blacked, as they are accustomed
to sit during the operation when at
home. The new chair stands will short
ly be seen at Ludgate and Charing Cross
stations, and at THE stock exchange.
The society has 60 boys, who are
lodged, taught and partially boarded
on the premises of the institution, and
there is an ingenious allotment Of
their earnings into three parts after an
allowance for food required out Of
doors, one-third being their own, an
other third the society's, and the re-
naming third going to their banking ac-
count, on which they can draw for spe-

WOMEN BUYERS.

They Draw Large Salaries for Puf-
chasing Goods for Leading Stores.
According to the Cincinnati Enquirer
a prominent woman drummer says:
There are at least so per cent. more
women buyers in the trade now than
there were six years ago" 1t is now
estimated that there are 900 women
buyers in the United States. From the
time that women first entered the
stores at all, even as saleswomen. their
taste and intuition for style, their abil-
ityr to select. were noticed. The only
thing that held them back from the
highest position and that holds them
back now in some houses was the fear
that they could not be relied on to make
judicious investments.
A woman buyer who purchases fine
line of goods, for example, ladies' tailor
made suits Or misses jackets, receives
a salary of from $4,000 to Ss,CGo year.
If she thoroughly understands her busi-
ness she turns her stock money over
two or three times within year. She
buys from 100000 to $500,OC0 worth of
goods per annum. Such buyer will
have been in the business certainly ten
years or more and have fami,iarized
herself with every detail. If a woman is
uncommonly bright she may learn the
business of a ''buyer'' in three years.
But she has to understand her line Of
custom from A to z, and know exactly
how much she car afford to pay apiece
for such goods in order to sell them at a
reasonable profit. She must know the
wholesale price for the velvet, silk or
fur that trims the garment; also, the
price Of the cloth it is made of, the cost
Of the making, and the profit to allow
the manufactures.

SNAKES PICKED THE HOPS.
Why an Indiana Farmer No Longer
Pays Hired Men.


The most remarkable story which
has recently found its way into print
comes from Versailles, Ind, says the
Atlanta Constitution. In 1896 the hop
growers of that neighborhood, accord
ing to the story which is now going the
rounds, had some difficulty over the
question of what amount Of hire should
be paid to laborers for picking hops.
AS a general proposition the matter is
still unsettled except by one hop grow
er, Mr.. Jacob Presley, who resides in
district known as Deer Lick Bottoms.
He did not hire any pickers at al this
year, and yet his hops are al picked and
cured. Toexplain this mystery, it seems
that Mr.. Presley during the year previ-
Gus had noticed two yellow snakes. His
first impulse was to kill them, but their
actions were so odd that he stopped to
watch them The snakes would climb
the hop poles and pick every blossom,
throwing them upon. the ground. Then
they would extract a certain amount of
hop from the stalk and pass on to the
next one. This set Mr.. Presley think
ing if the snakes could not be utilized
instead Of men and women. In the
spring Of 1896 he found nest Of 13 yell
low snakes down by the creek, and,
capturing them alive, he took them
home. In the fail he tried them on the
hop fields while the men were absent,
and with such success that he deter
mined to use them this year. Accord
ingly he hired no hands, to the great
surprise Of his neighbors. Instead he
turned the snakes loose, putting $50
baskets on the ground to catch the hops
as they fell. The experiment was a
great success, but Mr.. PRESLEY has in
CURED the deadly enmity cf the hop
picEers' union, the president OF which,
''Bob" Habernut, promises to put a
boycott Oh Press,ey's snake picked
hops this winter. Of course it is bare
ly possible that the author of this story
may have been under the influence of
hops at the time of writing it.
