TRAINING. OF A sALEsLADY.
Some Points That Are Essential ts Her Popularity with Her
 EmpIOyer. g

The business education of shop girls is continually stinulated:a by. means of lectures given by the buyer, who is the real boss, says Les lies Monthly. "Try," he,4says, ito make your customer take the goods with her, to avoid deliveries; but don't carry this out too strictly, for if your customer is the right sort it is we'll to accommodate her.''
 ''Try to have as few c. o. D.. sales as possible 2 is a phrase frequently dinned into our ears. Try to sell hard selling goods is another ire .quent remark of the buyer, Each department is under supervision of a buyer, who not only buys sthe goods, but also sees that the girls sell them. At the end of the season, if any particular department is not a success, that department may be abolished, and the buyer will be out of job. He is, therefore, very -anx- ious to get rid of the goods, par ticularly of the hard selling ones more anxious, perhaps, than the firm itself.

Good Breeding. z

The best bred women do not fuss. They take their gowns and their fur niture and their jewels as matter of course. They are unconscious of their veils and their gloves, and they expect every one else to be equally so. If they see an intimate wearing a handsome gown, they refer to it. admiringly, but they also preface their comment with an apology. Their differences with their husband are not aired, neither are the domestic upheavals. Fhe re- pose of the we'll bred wonan is not the quiet of weakness. It is the calm of trained faculties, balanced SO nicely that an earthquake may cause change of color, but will not bring forth a loud cry. We'll bred women are boon to the human race. They help the world to maintain high standard both of morals and behavior.-Wa shington Star a7M e

HE WAS TOO POLITE.
Conductor Made Girl Take Valise
 That Wasn't Hers.
Now He Ks Firmly Convinced That Being Courteous to Passengers Is an InexcusabIe Vice Rath-
 CT Than a Virtue.

An East Broadway car conductor, with the very best intentions, succeed ed in involving himself in a heap of trouble last Wednesday afternoon, says the New York Sun.
 Among his passengers was meek little German girl, who couldn't speak a word of English. On card which she carried were instructions to put her off at Chambers street and Park row and direct her to car to the Erie ferry.
 The conductor stepped his car at Chambers street and motioned to the girl to get out. She promptly obeyed and the car started away.
 Half way up the block to the bridge the conductor discovered a grip on the floor of the car about where the girl had been sitting. He pulle6 the bell strap, grabbed the grip and ran back with it to the corner of Chambers street, where the little German maid was standing, looking very much be- Wildered.
 Her bewilderment was considerably increased when the conductor showed the grip at her and bade her take it. She shook her head vigorously, which only increased the conductors impa- tience. Finally he forced the grip into her hands and ran back to his. car, which had held up about ten Third av- enue cars.
 ''The little greenhorn didn't want to take it. said the conductor to pas- senger on the rear platform.
 Maybe it wasn't hers" suggested Che passenger. .s. e1... ..~@
 "oh, yes it was, responded the con ductor, as he pulled the strap to go ahead. She's just thick and didn't un- aerstand-i
 As the car started ahead, a short, stout man, badly out of breath from running, leaped on the step. For a second he. was too excited to speak. The conductor noticed, that. he was a passenger who had left the car at Chatham squareA

ming of the Franco-Prussian war. Twelve years ago he began his experi- ments in aerial navigation.
 Tn 1896 he had constructed an air ship which the Russian military au- thorities highly praised. In 1899 Gen. eral Baden Powell, then a major in the British army spoke of Count Zeppe- hn's ship in highest terms and said that through the invention the wars of tue future would be transferred to the air.
 Americans are peculiarly interested in the misfort1nes of Count von Zep- pelin, as he is connected by marriage with the F. c. s. d'HautevilIe< of New port.
 The count believed that in the very near future he would sail across the seas. He had hoped to make the first trip in twentytwo days and thought that four days would eventually be the time consumed.

WOMEN WEAR SHABBY GLOVES
They Are Not as Particular About
 Their Hand-Covering as the
 Men Ares 5.i !

q -
 "Did you ever notice how much better men's gloves look than wom- en's? ?" asks writer in the New York Times. "Go into any public convey ance and look at the gloves of the passengers and you will be impressed by the superior condition of those worn by men. Two-thirds of the women you meet cover their hands with suedes and dogskins that are shockingly soiled and worn. It is not only women of generally shabby ap- pearance who are guilty of wornout finger tips and ragged seams; many who are otherwise well-groomed and who could afford to put on fresh pair of gloves every day are equally culpable. Men woulf be ashamed to go on the street wearing such dis reputable things, but women Haunt them unblushingly.'"' 44s4
 ''That sweeping, condemnation is unfair" protested the woman. .'sThe condition is easily explained. Women wear their gloves much more than men and besides it is awfully destruc- tive to finger tips to dig around in purses for change and samples and to handle candy, to turn over books and to examine dry goods"
 Now you shave jumped the sub -ject, '' said the man. 'I am not talk ing about cause; I am talking about effect. The majority of men certain ly do wear better gloves than the majority of women. / You cannot deny that.'
 ''That is true,'' the woman admit ted. .''I cannot deny it; they can bet ter afford it also"

The educational side of rural free delivery comes out clearly in the sta- tistics of one western route, on which there are 1o9 mail boxes. When the route was established the number of daily papers taken in the district was five. Now the number is 65, and most of the papers come from one or the other of two large cities.

According to President Harris, of Amherst, a word that is looked upon as profanity in Boston may express the deepest sentiment out west, in proof of which he tells the following story: "A rough miner died out west and was laid away by his fellow laborers, with d common slab of stone to mark his resting place. On the stone was this inscription: Bill Jenkins; died June 12, 1901. He done his damndest. An geis could do no mere.'"

Vitality of.the Centipede.

The sight of full-grown centipede is said by travellers in tropical lands to be enough to affect the strongest nerves. Ten to eleven inches is the average length, although larger ones have been seen. Lafcadio Hearn, in "Two Years in the French West In- dies," says that the vitality of the eentipede is amazing. He kept one in a bottle, without food or water, for 13 weeks, at the end of which time it remained active and dangerous as ever. The n attacks the centipede with delig.. and often swallows him head first, without taking the trouble to kill him. The cat hunts him, but is careful never to put her head near him. She has a trick of whirling him round upon the floor SD quickly as to stupefy him; then when she sees a good claws. If you kill centipede you are sure to receive money soon, and even if you dream of killing one it is good luck-at least. so local tradition says.
