The Attractive Woman,

One type of women there is who invol.
unfairly creates high aspirations. in
spires hope in the hearts of the hopeless
and revivifes by the touch of her pres
ence. Her coming sows sunbeams in the
warp of ife's fabric; with her departure
the night comes on. Her mission is in
SEPARATION. Had Sisyphus met her she
would have inspired him with high hopes
of becoming a respectable stonemason.
The other type is only little less charm
ing and maybe is even more helpful. This
is the woman whose very presence stills
all protests against existing conditions,
who brings peace and contentment who
smooths out the wrinkles in life's ugly
places. She is an optimist by nature.
BY the light of her own life she plucks
from ugly recesses that which is fair and
beautiful and by precept and example in
stills the sweet honey of optimism into
other lives She is Gods own anodyne
which soothes with peace and rest the
aching brow of the world. -LandoD

SHOPPERS.
A Few Ways by Which They Try the
Patience OF Their Fellow Men.

VI tiioh Hth
The terra shopper is undoubtedly Of
the feminine gender. Now ana then
men buy things, but that does not make
them shoppers. You can tell the true
shopper 1T glance. 1t is she who
spends her entire day among the stores
searching with keen eyes for bargains
and it is She who is the despair of the
salcSpcople. Recently during a busy
day | stood in a store and watched a
crowd of customers. Afterward | Won
dered how the unfortunate men and
women behind the counters ever Kept
their tempers ut all. 1t is with the
idea of coming to the help of these
much tried people that am going to
call the attention of women shoppers
TO the six particularly heinous ofrenscs
of which they are guilty:
First ard Foremost. Bringing chill
dren into the large stores. Apart from
the harm that is done to your child by
placing it in an impure and overcrowd-
ed atmosphere there is the great dis
comfort which it causes to other peo-
pie. The shopping district is no place
for child. 1t soon becomes nervous
and fretful, it insists upon handling
everything and getting into every ones
way, and it is the most dreaded plague
of the tloorwalkers and statesmen who
are responsible for the safety of the
goods and the order of the store.
Second.-Asking questions of sales
women who are busy. | have always
noticed that if two girls are standing
behind a counter one of whom is busy
and the other idle the customer will
invariably address the former.
Third. r Making the salesman take
down all his goods when you really
don't know what you do want. Make
up your mind before you enter the
store and if possible write a list stat
ing the number of yards of material
and the price you are able to pay. If
you want samples, say SO in the first
place, and you will be cheerfully ac-
cOmmodated.
Fourth.-Trying to find out the sales,
woman who waited on you last when

you have forgotten her name and al
most all of her description. have seen
six people, including the fioorwalker,
engaged in wild hunt for a mythical
employee whose description was fur
nished by an absentminded customer.
If you want the same girl to wait on
you again. take down her name and
don't trust to your memory thereby
making people lose their valuable time.
Fifth.-Buying in haste, repcntng at
leisure and then returning the goods
in a more or less fresh condition. Some
people don't hesitate to keep goods a
couple of months. They even wear
pair of gloves and then attempt to send
them back. Goods should never be re-
turned unless absolutely necessary.
SiXth.-LoOling at articles to get
the style without the slightest inten-
ton of buying anything. This is the
most heartless offense of all particu-
larry in stores where the number of
sales influences the employees posi-

laundry NInchincrv.

"Some idea of the variety in which
laundry machinery is now made" said
dealer, may he gained from the fact
that in one catalogue Of such appliances
there are to be found about 800 numbers
One maker produces washing machines
in so varieties. These include machines
Of different sizes, materials and weights
adapted to all manner Of uses.
"Of ironing machines there are now.
adays many, including machines specially
designed for ironing particular parts. as
bands, collars and so on, and then there
are mangles in great variety, some of
them big machines weighing many tons
made for the ironing Of fiat goods only.
as tablecloths, napkins, sheets, towels
and so'on. There is more or less hand
laundry work in one branch and another,
but there is now no work done in laun-
dries for which machines cannot be had"

The leader says. Il went shopping this
morning and everything ! bought began

The responses must be given quickly.

1t may be noted that the Zig packing
houses of Chicago and Kansas City are
not satisfied with controlling the meat
trade of the country, but are now
equippng large cold storage plants for
the handling of eggs and poultry This
new departure is likely to benefit the
producer more than the consumer.

There once was boy who did nothing but cry;
lie cried from morn till noon.
He cried fer dog; he cried for goat;
lie cried Tor big balloon.
At last one day her patience was tried,
And his mamma bought balloon;
In it she tied him, hard and fast,
And sent him way up to the moon.
Now every night when the moon is bright
And this is really true
You can see his pale face way up in the moon,
And he's looking right down al you.

The most important factor connected
with grass growing is rainfall Where
water falls in abundance there will
grass always grow. Where the rain
fall is deficient there it won't grow
1t is not so very particular about soils
either, and some sort of grasses will
flourish among the rocks or the
stumps, on the hillsides, on river bot
tom or slough. Good grass lands are
the surest and safest foundation for
successful agriculture.

A solar machine-a machine with
system of refiectOrs which will focus
the rays of the sun upon a steam boiler
is now in successful operation in Cali
fornia. Through the desert regions.
where the sunshine is almost perpetual
and fuel very scarce and high priced,
such a machine, if practical in its
workings, would prove almost invalu-
able, for, with cheap power for pump
ing water from deep wells, irrigation
would be possible and thus transform
the desert into fruitful fields.
