Facts About Contemporary Business.

Facts prove that about ninety five
per cent. of business men fail to sue
ceed, and only five per cent. of the
whole have sufficient "all round" busi-
ness ability to sustain themselves in
dependently. Severe competition has
forced the large business concerns to
be cooperative in their methods. The
modern establishment is so co-opera-
tive IL its workings that most success
full business men must frankly admit
that their success has been due to it.
Statistics show that the best organ
lied and most favorably located manu-
featuring and mercantile institutions
do not make over two and n half to
three and half per cent. on sales.
Even II they give the customers goods
at cost, they would not benefit them
much in a pecunary way.
If Il straightforward customer be-
comes involved, we endeavor to assist
him as far rs we can consistently. If
a firm meets with adversely and makes
an honest failure, 1t is almost the uni
versal custom for mercantile credi-
tors to say: PAY what you feel you
are able to. Attempt no more.",-

Tradition says that no woman who
ever lived had such Il beautiful com
pleXion as Helen of Troy, and now we
are informed she attained this distinc-
ton by using very simple salye or
lotion on her skin. The ingredients of
this salve are an egg, a citron and some
seltZer water. How the beauteous
Helen contrived to obtain seltzer water
we are not told, but the discoverer of
the recipe assures - that water very
similar to it was well known in ancient
times. The citrOn, after being cut in
two lengthwise, is freed from its pulp,
and the two halves are put together so
ds TO form small cup, into which the
yolk of the egg is poured after being
carefully separated from the white.
The mixture is allowed to stand for
IN hour and is then put on the face,
where it should remain for half an
nour, after which time it may be re-
moved by spraying the skin with the
contents of a siphon OF seltZer water.
By repeating this operation daily wrin-
kles will soon be removed, and the
complexion will become fair and bril-
liant.

How One Woman Earns a Living.

which one of the largest American uni

excellent method of earning her own
living. Her skill in making Judges"
those toothsome chocolate sweets that
are said to have originated at Vassar

and it occurred to her one day that
what she did for pleasure might be
turned to profit. She made n few

neighboring druggist to let them be

afterward a second and larger lot
We're quickly disposed of, and orders
for more were received, chiefly from
the collegians. Her next step was to
get some plain white boxes, pack the
Judges in them and tie the boxes with
n broad ribbon of the college color.
Having some little skill with the brush
she decorated each ribbon band with
the college name, and put this fudge
on the market.
An assistant helps in the unskilled
part of the process, and she herself
worIs every day, and often until late
IN the night in an effort to supply the
demand for her jonbons. She has cs-
tablished agencies throughout the town
and in a neighboring city, and is prob
ably building up a permanent and eX-

Lady Loudoun has some very beau
tiful jewels. The Loudoun diamonds
are very fine, and on gala occasions
seem almost overwhelming for their
mignonne wearer. There is a parure
of particular beauty, quite three-quar-
ters of a yard long, of large pansies
and leaves, each of which separately
forms a more than ordinary large or
nament for the front of dinner
dress. Lady Loudoun. however, is not
fond of loading herself down with jew
els. and only displays her diamonds on
very rare occasions. She is great

The up-to-date woman keeps on hand
collection of velvet bows and roscttes
for wear with her different gowns.
The rosettes are placed on one side of
the neck on the bodice at some becom-
ing angle or on the waist line, wher
ever they can aud TO the beauty of a
gown. The large ones used at the
waist line have a series of irregular
loops and ends hanging half way down
the skirt. In Paris it is the fashion
to tag these loops with tiny crystal
drops, cut jewels, pear shaped pearls
and such-like. The smaller bows are
more effective when wired.

Old STYLES in Sleeves Revived.

Two old styles of sleeves are being
now revived-the bishop sleeve of mus
lin, with Tuching round the wrist, and
the pagoda sleeve, Of thicker mate
rial, which is worn over it. Jackets
also are now seen with pagoda sleeves,
made somewhat large and short, to slip
easily over the bishop sleeve of the
dress bodice beneath. Jeweled sleeves
of lace are also seen with some even
ing dresses and are fastened to the
shoulders with jewels. This is much
prettier than the ''no-sleeve" style,
which some women continue to adopt
for evening.

ians from infancy and on through
childhood. Babies wearing shadeless
caps and riding in perambulators with
out parasols, or with those of dazzling

streets. School-children are subjected
constantly to worse eye strain. Light

ably from a little above and at the

the artificial lights. In coal-ol lamps
the variety known as the Students is

Follow Race Horses In an Automobile.

The latest and most novel use to
which the automobile is being applied
comes from st. Louis. 1t is proposed
at the new race track in that city to
have the patrol judge follow the
horses entirely around the course in
motor vehicle. For this purpose 1t
is proposed to build an elevated track
entirely around the track, near the in
side rail, and it is said the vehicle will
have no difficulty in keeping pace with
the horses. Under this plan the pa
troll judge could keep his eye on the
jockeys and horses all the way around,

racing is likely to be the result.-Chi.

was to call the attention OF property
owners to the oaths to which he must

FACTS ABOUT SARDlNES.

The Greater Part OF TIL. Country's
Consumption Now Packed Eerc.
Formerly the sardiucs consumed In
this country Were all imported from
France. Now about ~three-qUarteEs OF
the sardines eaten in the United States
are put up here, the CHIEF center OF
the sardiue industry i'll The United
States being the eastern coast OF
Maine, though some sariines are now
put up on the coast of California. Tie
packing OF sardines in this country
was begun about 1856.
Thousands of people now find EN-.
ployment in II part inc another OF
the work in catching fish. in making
cans and in canning and pacSiag a
marketing and so on.
Sardines are put mp in greater va
riety than formely. ehere being now
adays sardines packed In tomato
sauce, sardines in mustard. spiced sar
dimes and so on. but the great bulk OF
sardines. both imported and domestic.
are still put up in oil. Sardines are
put ND also in a greater variety OF
packages than formerly. there being.
for example. various sizes and shapes
of oval tins. and some Franch sar-
dimes are imported in glass. but as the
great bulk Of all sardines are still put
up In oil. so the great bulk of them are
still put up In the familiar fiat boxes.
the great majority of these being OF
the sizes known as halves and quar-
ters and far the greater number OF
these being in quarters. Sardinss are
packed 100 tins in a case. and the con-
sumption OF sardines in this country
IS roughly estimated ut from 100000
to 100000 cases annually.
Like canned goods Of every descrip-
ton. sardines are cheaper now than
they formerly were. and American sar-
dimes are sold for less than the import,
ed. American sardines are now ex'
ported from this country to the Yves
Indies and to South America.-New
