rons of all retail houses, had a strong aversion to being waited upon by a professional beauty. Moreover, no de- pendence was to be placed in the clerks 1 themselves. The handsomest girls were pretty sure to be vain and 'touchy, ana when one proved really valuable she 1 was morally certain to get married al the very time her services were most i needed. So practical men began to see that pretty girls did not pay as cold i business proposition, and the same als- covery was presently made at the olll- ces. Typewriting bells made more trouble than they were worAh. They demoralized their fellow-employes and I created no end of jealousy and bitter ness and friction. In many cases, per haps in most cases, the poor girl Wasnt in the least to blame. She couldn't help being good to look at, and was probably trying her best to attend to her own affairs, but the idiot1c men wouldn't let her. However, results are the only things that count in business nowadays and few years ago a big reaction against beauty set in
 Since them the young woman went on, smiling, q am sure that the feeling has been growing steadily stronger against the pretty girl in business. But please don't misunderstood me. l am referring altogether to the girl who travels on her prettiness," as the say ing goes A pretty girl who doesn't make her good looks obtrusive and who shows by her bearing that she expects
 
 to hold her position by simple hard work has just as good a chance as any body, but, unfortunately such girls are rare. A very attractive young woman gets so much attention and flattery that. she has to be exceptionally sensi- ble and strong minded not to have her head turned. At present most stores prefer clerks who are plain and lady like in their appearance, and who make no pretentions to beauty. In the offices the feeling is still more pronounced, and many professional men will not engage an amanuensis unless she Is downright ugly, and the older the better. Let me give you little illustration: I have younger sister, who-if I do say it who a real beauty, Some time ago she learned that the president of a big Alabama corporation wanted pri- vate secretary, and, being highly con1- petent, she wrote, applying for the place. He answered, requesting her and we both got angry at once. My sister happened to have an old tintype, that, some how or other, made her lcok perfect freak, and, as reproof to the gentleman's frivolity she sent that to him by return mail
 You may imagine our surprise when he engaged her by telegraph As it turned out, he didn't want a pretty girl, but an ugly one, and when she put in an appearance he came near backing out of his agreement At last

 sition has demonstrated that in New York, Virginia, Ohio, and California the soils and conditions are right for
 production of all brands of wines which
 have made the German, French, Span
 ish, and Portuguese vineyards famous
 throughout the world. America has not yet reached the point where it can successfully compete in the production Of sparkling wines with the champagne districts of France or the Moselle dis trict Of Germany; but in so far as wines similar to the Burgundies, clarets, sher- ries, ports and vintages commonly known as Rhine wines are concerned, the American Winemaker has no reason to Gear the competition of the Euro- peans from the standpoint of quality. The prejudice in favor of the foreign label, however, has heretofore kept the American wines from the lists of most Oi lllG uOlelS ana I6Sldu- rants throughout the country. But in view of the great success of Americans in Paris, this disadvantage can be over come, it is believed, by judicious adver- tisement and proper business methods. In any event, the association of Amer ican wine growers proposes to use to the best advantage the success which has been achieved at the Paris Exposi- tion.
 American wines for Americans is a good notion, especially when those wines are as good as or better than for eign wines

 try for a month, and, as she happens to have lot of common sense, she has given great satisfaction. But that case will show you how men of affairs feel on the subject.
 There is a big store in Chicago that employs about 250 girl clerks, and used to boast openly that there wasn't one in the lot that wasn't an admitted beauty. I was in Chicago during my vacation and visited that establishment to make some purchases. Upon my word, I thought I was in an old ladies' home. The woman who waited on me was fifty if she was day, and she had face like a pair of nut crackers. Of course that was going to the other eX- treme, but I noticed that business was something tremendous. Here in New Orleans I think they have struck the happy mean Our large stores contain lots of pretty girls but the fact isn't 'featured,' as they say at the theater, You can see at once that no importance is attatched to 1t, and that brings me back, by the way, to the starting point. If girl is thoroughly capable, and has plenty of tact and discretion. her good looks will be no especial handicap In earning a living. Otherwise, she is nowadays at a decided disadvantage. compared to the girl who is homely and industrious. "-New Orleans Times Democrat,

 You ask whether good looks are a disadvantage to a girl in business" said a comedy young woman who occu- pies an important position in a New Orleans mercantile establishment. That is a question that has been pro- pounded before, and in a general way would answer yes decidedly A few years ago, however, when women began to enter business life in considerable numbers, the exact reverse was the case. l am still under thirty, but I remember distinctly when it was next to impossi- ble for homely girl to get a situation. Good looks were insisted upon in type writers and stenographers, and mer- chants were then under the impression that pretty clerks brought trade. It took some time to explode that idea
 The pretty clerks certainly attract ed crowds to their counters, but they were crowds of dudes and loafers, who would buy five-cent paper of pins, and then fiirt away three or four dol lars worth of time, when the women, who constitute four-ffths of the pat

4 DIFFER ENCE.

When Bryan came to New York four years ago he came to "the enemy's country" When he came yesterday he came to his friend Croker's country. He was well received yesterday. What the Democrats will call "a magnificent demonstration" was made for him. Croker's plans worked well. His hench- men were out In force, they cheered at the right time and a large part of Bryan's audience in the Madison Square Garden last night stayed through the exercises. Four years ago his audi ence couldn't stand the talk, and before he got through it was small. But Tam many discipline was working last night and he had "appreciative hearers
 Quite difference. Yes, and there is also quite difference in the way Bryan's visit to New York this time strikes those who are opposed to him. Four years ago it made quite a scare in Wall street and other localities. This year it doesn't seem to disturb any, body, the general feeling being that Bryan's goose is thoroughly cooked.

 Neither Moses nor Abraham came forward from behind the nickle-plated counter cases, but instead a handsome, well-groomed young American smiled a welcome and answered all questions put to him.
 Yes" said he. ''it does seem queer that a fellow would pull his own leg for little money, but that is what the chap who owned this found it neces- sary to do."
 In the showcase one of the most nota- ble objects was a splendid diamond and pearl sunburst, which looked so much like the real thing that it attracted im- mediate attention.
 That pretty bit of jewelry has an in teresting story" remarked the young man. "One day a young society man and young lady of his own set came in here and asked what they could get on this pin, and in order to get as much as possible they took us into their con fdence. The young man is a soldier in the army of the Philippines, and had come to St. Louis on a furlough. The girl was his sweetheart, but he did not spend all his time here with her, for he got into no end of trouble, which, of course would not have happened if he had been more attentive to her. Among his other troubles was the fact that he had lost all his money gambling, and had not enough to take him back to his regiment, and the end of his fur lGugh was approaching.

CAN'T TOTE ron BRY1N.

President Hyde of Bowdoin college doesn't fiatter President Mckinley or MT. Bryan, but Mckinley will get his vote. He says: I shall vote for Me-
 Kinley, as did in 1896 In tariff legis-
 lation he has been the pliant tool of
 interested parties; from the silver de-
 fusion he was plucked as brand from
 the burning; the Spanish war was
 forced upon him by the madness of
 Congress; under him the War depart
 ment was debilitated by favoritism and the civil service has been demor- alized by betrayal his failure to give prompt and definite assurance of an acceptable form of government has made the Philippines the scene of pro- longed bloodshed, and the source of endless expense. My reasons for voting for him? Because with all his weak ness he is not half as dangerous as his well-meaning but light-minded oppo- nent. Because his chief advisers and appointees are vastly superior to any that could be found following the pres ent Democratic leadership. Because his election will do more to secure the benefits of sound money than his de- feat would do to avert the evils of inn perialism. Because the burial of Bryan, now past all hope of political resur- rection, is the best way to prepare four years hence a Democratic opposition sane and strong enough to undo most of the mischief which has been and will be done by the Mckinley admins tration.
 Many who don't like Mckinley" will vote for him this year. The reasons why they will are we'll stated by Presi- dent Hyde.

The Philadelphia Record says: Near ly all the liners now leaving the port of Philadelphia for Germany and Great Britain carry in their holds hundreds of barrels and hogsheads of apple waste. Apple waste is the peelings, cores and other refuse of apples. It is gathered from the manufacturers of ap- pie butter and kindred compounds, and in England and Germany narmalade and wine are made of it. A very palat- able apple wine is imported thither, and in certain colonies is much enjoy ed. Excellent marmalades, very expen- sive and very beautifully labelled and put up, come also into this port Both are made of Philadelphia's own apple waste, but few people know that.
