MAxIMs FOR CLERKS.


When you speak to customer, look him
squarely in the face.
Selling goods is something like making
a speech. Both depend on how you begin
and end.
"Diligence is the mistress of success.
Careless clerks are certain to be passed by
those who apply themselves to their duties
and allow no opportunity to slip.
ga good wcrd is as soon said as an i'll
one" 1t does not take any longer to treat
a customer politely than it would ludely,
and 1t pays much better in the long run.
AN hour in the morning is worth two
in the afternoon. Have tberoutine work
in your stock out Of the way before trade
commences or you will lie behind all day.
"Depend not on fortune, but on con-
duct, Don t wait for something to turn
up by which you may gain an easy position
and good salary. Work your way up; it's
harder, but surer. Retail Clerks Gazette

VANITY.

The sun comes up and the sun goes down,
And day and night are the same as one.
The year grows green, and the year grows
brown,
And what is it all, when all is doneP
Grains Of somber or shining sand,
Gliding into and out of the hand.
And men go down in ships to the seas.
And hundred ships are the same as one,
And backward and forward blows the breeze,
And what is it ALL when all is donef
A tide with never shore in sight,
Getting steadily on to the night
The fisher droppeth his net in the stream,
And a hundred streams are the same as one,
And the maiden dreameth her lovelit dream,
And what is it all, when all is done?
The net of the fisher the burden breaks,
And always the dreaming the dreamer wakes.

SO singular as to attract the eye at once.
A white serge shirt blouse was tucked
from neck to belt in three clusters on
each side. There were revers, and they
were tucked. So was the high collar.
The silk shirt waists and blouses show
many ideas in tucking, also in revers.
1t seems that almost everything has
more or less of the effect of an open
front showing vest of some kind. Even
the wash goods are made up in this
manner. Reception and visiting gowns
OF moire, velours, silk and other ma
terial have more or less of the same ef-
feet. One beautiful black moire had an
open blouse vest with revers collar Of

Evarts and Mark Twain.

At a New England society dinner
some years ago Mark Twain had just
finished a piquant address when Mr..
Evarts arose, showed both of his hands
down into his trousers pockets, as was
his habit, and laughingly remarked,
Doesn't it strike this company as a
little unusual that a professional hu-
morist should be funny?' Mark Twain
waited until the laughter excited by
this sally had subsidized, and then
drawled out, Doesn't it strike this
company as little unusual that law
yer should have his hands in his own
pockets? Exchange.

Causes of Tumu,t in Spain.

The later dispatches from Spain indi-
cate the true nature of the internal dis
sensions that divide with the external
war the attention of the government
and make the situation there one Of ex-
IRENE difficulty. Heretofore it has
been represented that the disturbances
in the provinces grew out either of the
Carlist element, watching for an OPEN
ing to advance the cause of the pretend
er, or the Impotence of the populace
at the endeavors of the ministry to
preserve peace with this country. IF
now becomes plain that the trouhlas
find their source in the distressing CON
ditions caused by the financial de-
rangements, the increased taxation and
the high prices of food caused by the
depreciation of the currency and the in
crease of demand growing out of the
war;
The news from Augilias and Gi1on is
especially informing. The assault of
the mob-significantly composed mostly
Of women-in the former place was
upon the government storehouses and
offices, while in the latter the fisherwom
en- and tobacco girls joined in sacking
the octroi offices and looting bakeries
AT Talavara the assault upon the Jes-
uit house was because it was supposed
to contain stores of food, and the sack
ing Of the bakeries had food for it's OBJ

no Utilize Swamp Grass.

Mention was made in The G / o b e
yesterday of the revival Of the cordage
manufacturing establishment under the
impetus of Eastern capital. There is
no center in the Northwest which can
so appropriately be utilized for the
manufacture of the products which
this concern is capable Of producing as
st. Paul. Ex-senator Warner Miller,
titled with the development of the wood
pulp industry of New York state, and
came thereby to be known through a
playful sobriquet, applied to him by the
New York Sun, as Wood Pulp Miller"
But he was useful, all the same, and
the industry which he developed has
been of great advantage to the entire
country He now comes to ST. Paul,
backed by friends who have confidence
in his business ability, and takes hold
OF the cordage works in earnest; and
he knows thoroughly what he is about
in the undertaking.
For centuries coarse grasses have
been growing in the sloughs and on the
plains in this Western section; and
while they nodded their heads in their
maturity to the world, the people of
the world failed to recognize their in
trinsic worth. But this is an age of
development. and science has discov-
cred in these long, wiry stems quail
ties irresistible to everything but fire;
and commerce has reached out and
taken hold of them, and the spirit Of
manufacture is about to utilize them
for purposes undreamed of quarter
of century ago.
The MANILA rope and paper made
from the same kind of plant have been
articles of imported merchandise in our
markets for many years past. At the
same time the raw material was adorn-
ing, in its lusty growth, the plains of
our own pTairies, and nobody seemed
to comprehend the fact that a great
source of revenue existed in the scien-
tific treatment of this abundant supply
OF nature. The new cordage works
intend to utilize this element of vege-
tatlon and to produce from the fibers
or these slender stems, mating. rope,
carpets and many other things closely
appertaining to the household and
home
The advent of such an industry in
81. Paul ought to be appreciated. This
particular era is one which is conducive
TO enterprises in all lines of manufac-
lure. Ihese grasses which are to be

woven products are grown in album
oance in this locality; hence st. Paul
