Virginia Constitutional Convention,

Richmond, Va. June 13.-At the
second days session OF the constitu-
tional convention Governor Tyler was
introduced and addressed the body on
the needs Of Virginia, among which he
included the bringing OF people and
money into the state.
Committees on organization. privf-
leges and elections. rules and reporting.
were appointed. and a resolution call
ing for certain information from clerks
of county courts was adopted.
The convention then took a recess
until Tuesday.
There Is strong opposition to the sug.
gestion that tie convention adjourn to
some other place than Richmond. Its
possible, however. that after a full or
~ganization, including the appointment
OF standing committees, the body may
tax a recess until about the middle OF
October.

Ivory from Bones.

An extensive and increasing indus
try has recently. according to a French
report, become established In France
to furnish an artificial substitute for
natural ivory In view Of the growing
insufhciency of the latter to meet the
demand Of art and industry in the vari-
Gus applications. The greater number
of products formerly employed in this
line were obtained by injecting white
wood with chloride of lime under very
strong pressure. At the Amsterdam
exhibition, however. almost all the
products which attracted so much at
tention had been prepared with the
bones Of sheep and the waste pieces of
deer and kid skin. The bones are, for
this purpose. macerated and bleached
for q period Of two weeks In chloride
Of lime, then heated by steam along
with the skin, 50 as to form q fluid
mass, and to this latter are added some
quantities of alum. After having been
subjected TO these processes. the sub
seQuent treatment consists In altering
the mass, drying 1t In the air and allow
ing 1t to harden In bath of alum, the
result being white tough plates, which
are more easily worked for various OBJ
jects than IL the natural ivory.

The Menasha wis., Evening Breeze
contained the following notice OF the
death of the original Of Mr.. Dooley:
Lovers Of the humorous and original
writings of James McGarry. better
known to the world as 'Dooley, Will
mourn the loss Of man who. by his
own peculiar gift, has assembled from
an humble, unknown saloon-keeper to
a worlds famous author. 1t is said
that many of the most humorous Of his
writing were produced while bOlstered
up In bed and In great bodily pain"
The London Athenaeum describes
Maurice Hewlett, now that Stevenson
Is dead, as the prince of literary story
tellers. There are two points involved,
1t says. One is that with Mr.. Hewlett
the primary interest is that of the story
itself, and not, as with the most consid-
cradle of contemporary novelists. some
issue of psychological analysis or phil
osophic idea which the story Is mere
ly designed to illustrate. His aim and
his triumph is to rivet the attention to
a succession Of events, to launch 1t upon
that swinging voyage among ebbing and
flowing emotions which-and not. Of
course, the bare succession Of events
is the proper end of narrative art
Here are few epigrams taken from
Gustave vapereau, the French author
of Dictionary of Contemporaries:
Women have a way of saying all and
telling nothing; of saying nothing and
telling all.
A woman wishes to find In the man
she loves superiority of some kind
even In evil.
Women love US for our talents, and
adore US for our faults.
A woman's success is not complete
unless she has found some one who
makes her suffer.
Nature has declared a prime Unequal
ity between man and woman-she is
enchanted by what she bestows; he Is
unclaimed by what he receives.
Wit throws out sparks, genius gives
sunshine.
There are little nothings which are
everything; they confer elegance on
carriage, originality upon style, per-
lection upon work.
Nothing makes one doubt immortality
more than the frivolity of thought
among the majority of mankind.
Life Is river which depends less
upon its source than upon its afluents.

rRousLe WITH THE CASHIER

Lunchrooms Feeding 1housande Bfno
1t Hard to Balance Up.
One Of the most difficult positions 10
I'LL In the big retail establishments
where automatic cash registers are in
use is that OF cashier. The question
il not SO much one Of honesty as OF
ability to perform the work day Dy
day without too great a margin OF
error.
None has found so great difficulty in
this connection as the owners OF the
big quick lunch establishments, where
change" has to be made quickly at
the rush ours of noon, and when but
little time Is allowed the cashier to
check receipts with the figures marked
up on the register.
The cashier at one OF the largest
downtown places was recently dis
charged simply because she was often
"off" In her change; that Is, the cash
register and the amount turned In at
might did not tally. 1t mattered little
to the company when there was
shortage, for according to agreement,
the cashier made it up from her salary.
On many occasions there was even
overcast above the amount recorded.
The young woman turned In this over
cash faithfully; the company dis
charged her for having any OVERCAST
at all.
When the young woman was dis
charged, it may be noted incidentally,
she had become great favorite with
the customers, and when 1t was learned
that they were to see her no more be-
hind the cashiers desk some one start
ed petition, which was signed by over
GOO names and turned into the manage
ment. The management decided to
give the young woman another chance
If she would come and apply for the
position, which she declined to do.
Another cashier was taken on in her
place and lasted exactly four days.
Another girl succeeded. She lasted two
days. Still another came and lasted
four days. In all eight girls were tried
out behind the marble desk, and then
the company was no better of than at
first. Days came when there were
shortages to be taken out of the young
women's pockets, and others when
they honestly turned In what was over
and above the amount on the cash reg
lister. But the shortage and the over.
cash continued, and the company has
decided to give up experiments and to
charge the difficulty not to the incom'
petence of the cashiers but the difficulty
to filling the position without mistakes
The trouble is said to be that the $500
or 5000 changes made during the day
are not, as in dry goods stores or other
concerns, more or less scattered
throughout day, but are all crowded
into an hour or. so. The rate at which
one girl makes change during that one
hour is at The rate of $4,000 in a day
of nine hours.-New York Times.

CANCER

Sufferers from this horrible malady
nearly always inherit it-not necessarily
from the parents, but may be from some
remote ancestor, for Cancer often runs
through several generations. This deadly
poison may lay dormant in the blood for
years, or until you reach middle life, then
the first little sore or ulcer makes its ap-
pearance-or q swollen gland in the
breast, or come other part of the body,
gives the first warning.
To cure Cancer thoroughly and perma.
nently all tho poisonous virus must be
eliminated from the blood-every vestage
of it driven out. This s. S. S. does, and
Is the only medicine that can reach deep.

When all the poison has been forced out
OF the system the Cancer heals, and the
