publishers have their agents at Leipsig and
many keep full stocks of books on hand so
that they can supply orders at an hour s
notice. There Is regular system of send
ing out books by cheap freight and express
and the agents arrange for quick delivery
and make all collections. They represent
the book stores as well as the publishers.
and the system is such that the publishers
so represented come into direct contact
with the buyers all over Germany, and by
the Leipsig agency throw their books into
something like 10000 stores About the
only provision is that all books must be de-
livered in Leipsg free of freight charges,

charge from Leipsig to their respective
stores.

desperate straits.
But just at this time something occurred
that for a while took my mind from war

Returning to the Rue Boissonade one
morning from the other side of the river,
found a young lad waiting at the loge Of
the concierge, that canny old body having
refused to trust him alone in the studio.
The lad explained that he was from Made

The Girls Learned Something.

From the Philadelphia Record
The school girls entered a fashionable
candy shop on Chestnut street. Their
school was about to give an amateur dra-
matte performance. and they had with them

like" they said to the owner of the shop,
Ito put this poster in your window" The
man looked at 1t. 1t was artistic and not
too big; no bigger, in fact. than 12x1S
inches. WELL he said, "I'n put 1t in my
window for-for-$25. Usually l charge $50
but this poster is 80 small that I'll give
you e reduced rate" The little girls were
horror-stricken. "Oh," they said. we had
no fdea-we did not suppose-there would
be any charge" And they departed with
their poster. going to other fashionable and
exclusive shops. It was everywhere the
same story; the girls found that there is no
form Of advertising more expensive than
the display of posters in fashionable shop
windows. I'VE thought" they said to the
last shopman. that this kind of advertis-
ing cost nothing" That" replied the man.

men don't care for this trade. Hence we
put up an almost prohibitive price on the
use of space in our windows. Otherwise
concert posters would leave us no room for
the exhibition of our goods"

The Ubiquitous Slot Boz.
Speaking of slot boxes. they are to be
found everywhere here and Of every kind.
In some Of the cities you can buy tickets on
the elevated railroads by dropping Ger
cents, in the SLOT There are slot boxes
which sell postal cards and slot restaurants
where you can get anything from thimble-
full of benedictine or chartreuse to glass
OF champagne or a schooner OF beer, ana
from chocolate cream to a slice OF roast
beef. The advantage Of the slot machine
Is that 1t dispenses with feeling. There are
no walters and hence no fees, and this
where one has to pay from cents to
dime for every service. amounts to much.
German Economy.
The Germans appreciate small savings
The richer among them spend great deaf
but they know just where the money goes
and try to get the worth of 1t. The poor get
more for their money perhaps than any
other poor in Europe outside the French.
They know how to prevent waste. In COOK
ing nothing is lost. The crusts Of bread ana
stale pieces Of the loaf are kept to thicken
the next days soup and the waste paper OF
the poor man is kept for fuel
German stoves are economical They are
made of porcelain and are often yaro
square and from six to eight feet tall. Each
stove has series of hues, and very little
fuel sufhces to warm it. Once hot 1t gives
out gentle heat all day, using about one
third the coal of an American base burner
and nothing like that of furnace. Every
bit OF coal is saved, and great part OF
that now used is in the shape of briquettes
or bricks made of cold dust, SO tightly
itself and at the same time perfectly clean.
This is a great business in Germany.
Cheap House Servants.
The Germans have a better system of do
nestle service than we have. In Leipsig
and other German cities the people live In
flats SO that the most of the work Is con-
fined to one floor Every room is valuable
and the servant usually has little more
than a closet to sleep in. The mistress OF
the house knows all about Housekeeping,

Dresden recently put up a railroad depot
costing millions. l have already describ-
ed the station at Frankfort, which cost
eight and one-half millions. Berlin has a
number of fine depots. Cologne has good
railroad buildings. and so have almost all
the cities of Germany.
The railroads here belong to the govern
ment and they are very well managed,
though not as luxurious in their appoint
ments as ours. The cars are after the Eu-
ropean fashion-frst. second and third
class. They are divided into compartments.
On the better trains there are lavatories
but an extra charge is made for the use of
towel and soap. This is furnished by
penny-in-the-slot box. You put in a ten
pfennig piece and pull out little rag and
a piece of soap. The rag is too small to

A dollar a week is a big price for hired
girl and at one of the agencies l was told
that excellent servants could be had from
$3.50 to 81 per month. The servants in these
bureaus looked like good girls. They were
well dressed, though not as extravagantly
as their class in America.
Housekeeping Schools.
There are many schools here for train

ton known as the Housewives Union,

ne FOUND IT,

Partly because of Good Fortune and Partly
because He was Watching and Searching.
When Columbus set sail in search of a
new continent the wise men of his time
called him an adventurous fool. Yet he
discovered America. You may say that
was an accident. Yes, but it was the kind
of accident that happens only to men who
are looking for it. During a long profess
ional practice DR.. David Kennedy, of
Kingston, N. Y, was continually watching
out for a better medicine than any thus far
known for certain complaints. He could
not imagine when or how he should find it =;
perhaps (more likely indeed) he should
never find it at all. So he thought. But
the right idea came to him finally and the
result was the preparation called Calcura
Solvent. The name means a solvent, or
DISCOVER, of stone, or chalk deposits, in the
kidneys or bladder; a remedy for the cure
of gravel, and of diseases caused by various
toxic or poisonous substances or acids in the
blood or glands. Experiment showed that
Calcura Solvent would cure red or white
gravel without pain or danger to the patient,
and expel from the system the uric acid
which causes govt and rheumatism. If it
did no more DR.. Kennedy's discovery would
stand as one of the most useful ones in the
history of medicine, but it is equally effect
i've in complaints of the digestive organs.
Itisa medicine for physicians and a medicine
for the people. Be sure about the name-Cdl-
cura Solvext, DR.. Kennedy's new medicine.
