CANDY STORE WAYS.
Clerks Eat what They Want ana
Don't Get Tired of 1t.

There is an old story to the effect that
II is n custom in candy stores to tell the
new clerk to eat all the candy she wants,
the result being that she Is soon surfeited
and wants no more candy for long
time. The fact appears to be that sub
stantially there is no rule or custom In
candy stores regarding the eating of cam
dy by the sales people. 1t Is Of course
required that they shall not eat candy In
the presence of customers. 1t might be
possible that new clerk who developed
an inordinate fondness for candy would
fedduire u gehtle hint BIT clefks Are not
told when they begin work that they may
or mag not eat candy. Nothing Is said
about that at all, and they do as they
please about it and eat what they want,
governing themselves, it Is to be presum-
ed. by discretion and common sense.
1t was also the common testimony that
people do not get tired Of candy by being
always in the midst of il, and this seems
to apply alike to those engaged in the
manufacture of candy and the handling
of 1t by wholesale and to the clerks en-
gagged In the constant actual handling Of
candy In the sale Of 1t at retail. Those
who are fond OF candy, men as well as
women, are not surfeited by the sight of
1t in quantities constantly surrounding
them. II it Is good candy, they keep on
liking 1t just the same and enjoy eating
what they want of it.
As to whether men or women like can
dy better there was some difference In
the expressed opinion. AT some places 1t
was said that men and women liked can
dy equally well. 1t was said, for in
stance, that in a little company Of men
and women eating candy the men would
eat as much as the women. At one place
where the opinion was expressed that
men, take them altogether, do not like
candy so well as women do 1t was said
that il a man was fond OF candy he was
likely to be very fond Of it, SO that he
might eat quantity of ii at time. 1t
was everywhere said that among children
boys and girls are alike in their love for
candy, but taking into account express
sions of people outside the business as
well as of those in it the weight of opin-
ion seemed to be that among grown per-
sons there are more women with sweet
tooth than men-that Is to say. that men
are not so fond of candy as women

TAXING AIM WITH A PISTOL.
Pointing the ForeHnger Finds the
Range Quickly md Accurately.

When l was young man over 40 years
ago, pistol shooting was one of my most
admired sports. and | spent hours and
days in practice to become proficient. For
a long time l followed the usual practice
of sighting is, looking over sights
placed on the barrel, but one day 1, as
many would say, accidentally discovered
how to take aim without sighting and to
shoot accurately in any position, and it
came about in this way. l saw a red
squirrel a short distance away, down by
the side of u fence, aud, my mother be-
inc with nae, l called her, atteGtiQp, 70 IL,
but as ii was nearly concealed in the
grass she could not see 1t, so / said, Now
look along my finger ut the same time
pointing with the index finger OF my right
hand, and she, as requested, looked along
my finger as you would In sighting a piss
toi. when she remarked. You are point
ing directly at it,
81 Immediately caught it as by inspira-
tion that there was something worth re-
Numbering, and the next day l put the
idea into practice and soon found myself
an expert in accuracy. The method l
pursued was this: used a single barrel
pistol of fair weight and length, and,
grasping the stock firmly in the hand,
used the second finger on the trigger.
placing the index finger along the side OF
the barrel and used that for pointing at
the mark. 1t taking the place of sighting
soon found by practice that L could
shoot from any position II could only
get chance to point my finger at the
mark.
80 assist me In holding by finger d.
rectly in line with the bore of the barrel
until got familiar with it fastened a
loop or guide for the finger alongside the
barrel, but l only required this short
time. The idea is that il you point your
index finger at any object you will find
the range accurately, and practice will
improve your ability to point your gun
where you want to place the shot.
This is one of the great secrets in rap
i'd and accurate pistol shooting. for you
can take aim as quickly as you can point
your finger. and it does not require rails
ing the arm. Let the arm rest BY the
side of the body. bend the elbow. point
your finger, and you have an accurate
aim by practice. This Is only one OF the
many positions, but gives an idea how IL
is done. prefer a single shot pistol that
pulls fairly easy and Is Of good, fair

WOMEN IN PERSIA.
There Are No Words For wife and
Home In That Language.

Life is sad In Persia, especially the wo-
nia q w. iffpop The Law Of Islam alio vs. zach
man to have four wives. His wives he
may divorce at will. Our word "bosh" il
the Turkish word by which Moslem d.
vorces his wife. 1t doesn't count II he
says it only once or twice, but IL said the
third time the woman must so, and there
is no recourse. There are no words for
wife and home in Persia. There are no
homes and few wives. 1t is curious to
hear a handsome woman say, Il have
told my husband if he marries another
wife / shall poison him, and | intend to
do IT," Or TO ask a woman about her
home life and get the answer: Love my
husband? oh. yes, love him. love him

ARMOUR AS A BRAKEMAN.
The MiIiionaire's Brief and Unsuc-
cessful Railroad Career.

The late George A. Sheldon, depot
master of the Lake Shore station, who
died after 40 years of continuous service
with the Lake Shore company, was a
veritable encyclopedia Of railroad Incl
dent, and his well told tales II repeated
in his own select phrase would rank as
classic literature. His variations were
confined TO actualities, thus giving them
n real value. He was many years a con-
ductor, and among the best of the Incl
dents he related Is the following:
"One day there stepped aboard my
train a well dressed. business appearing
man who as he rendered his fare re-
marked:

Meat and Cancer.

The question how far the increase OF
cancer among the more highly civilized
nations, which has appeared so marked
during recent years, Is caused BY the
greater quantity of meat which Is eaten
in prosperous countries Is matter OF
very considerable interest. That man Is
by nature not vegetarian may be taken
as pretty certain. but it is also certain
that as the result Of hard necessity meat
has generally in times past been to him
a luxury and has but rarely found pre-
ponderating element In his diet. But with
prosperity and with the greater ease with
which animal food can now be obtained
we End whole nations falling upon meat
as a necessary ingredient Of their daily
diet, and in the very nations among
whom this change Is most noticeable we
are told that cancer shows the greatest
ncrease.-Hospital.
