How 20 Treat Your Hands.

The exigencies of domestic life make
many people treat their hands as if they
were insensitive things. The following
simple rules may bring such sufferers
solid comfort: The hands are to be
rubbed over at night with mixture of
lanolin, one part and sweet almond oil,
three parts. Large gloves of kid or
leather are then to be donned. For
washing the hands the best soap and
warm water must be used and it is pref
cradle to employ a lather Rinsing
should always follow washing. Finally,
this lotion is to be freely rubbed over the
skin: Precipitated chalk, one ounce:
glycerin, one ounce and half; saturated
solution of gelatin, two drains; rose
water to make eight ounces The bot
tie should be we'll shaken before it's con-
tents are poured out. AS the chalk has a.
tendency to deposit round the nails. the
latter must be carefully wiped.-Chi-
cago News.

looked AFTER carefully. In one store the
management are so anxious to attain
perfection that they not only keep high
salar'ed employees travelling about the
world looking for ideas that will bet
ter their service to the public, but they
pay their employees in the store for every
idea OF value which they may offer. AS
an example: One employe suggested
that the elevator conductors not be per-
mitted to refer to the ground floor as the
main hoor, but as the first floor. The
idea being that all floors were of equal
Importance. The suggestion was
adopted and the employe we'll paid for
his thoughtfulness.
The same store pays it's employees for
every mistake or misstatement they can
find IN its advertisements. The idea be-
ing not only to familiarize the employees
with the stores advertising, but to check
any possible tendency on the part of the
department managers to exaggeration OF
misleading statements.
Such examples illustrate the modern
idea in merchandising. A method
founded on strict business integrity.

merchandise the merchants find it con-
venient to place little elevated platforms
across the walks, upon which trucks can
be run directly from the store door, usu-
ally some two feet above the level of the
walk, into the end of the wagon. The
result is the people walk in the streets.
and the city authorities seem not to OBJ
ject to this usurpation of public prop
erty.
Chicago streets are at their best not
attractive, and the heavy snow of the
past winter, with a treasury so depleted
that it was impossible to care for but
very few of the more important thor
oughfares in the retail district, the
streets became almost impossible for
pedestrians. But conditions made no
perceptible difference to the selfish
wholesale merchants, who continued to
force the public into the mud and slush
just the same.
There is striking contrast in the
treatment of the public in the wholesale
and retail districts.

,RUDENESS At THE TABLE.
It Takes Away the Pleasure Of Eat
ing and Indirectly 1mpairs
Healthful Digestion.

40 nervous person vulgar manners
at the table are the most irritating Of
all things. 1t takes away the pleasure
OF eating, the relish for food, and in a
measure units the digestive organs for
their work. The fact is, it does u
stomach absolute harm to be affected
in this way during the process of di-
gestion, and persons habitually an
noyed by such things are sure to suffer
seriously from it. At no other place do
the habits of vulgar people appear 50
vulgar as at the table. Trifling things
that one would not notice in the parlor
or in ordinary conversation about the
house, become positively offensive
when INDUCED in at the table, and per-
sons who have been shocked at the dis
gushing sight of knife ladened with
1ood on its way to the jaws of a wo-
man, or heard with sickening of the
nerves an uncomfortable belch from 4
man, must have felt the premOnitOry
symptoms OF dyspepsia. 1t is needless
to protest that such cases are rare, and
to claim that it is not often the case
that men or women are so vulgar as to
pick their teeth with pins at the table,
or in other ways display their innate
vulgarity. But they do, and not all
Well-bred people are so fortunate as to
escape enduring agony from such
causes. Women who set themselves up
to be teachers of morality, and who
condemn coarse or rude talk in others,

If they knew how they affected Others
The matter is one that demands cOnsid-
Grafton from young and old, and if
there are persons who know of them
selves that they have rude habits at the
table, whether it be of one kind or
another, there should be no time lost
in correcting them. There are innum-
cradle ways in which vulgarity is ex-
Eibited, but the most commonly vulgar
forms are those mentioned, and the
greater number of people who are Of

The same floor contains rest rooms,

he should have an increase in wages, il

nearly square
block Of ground and rises to more than
ten stories high, was but little larger
than a country grocery. 1t has grown
with the growth of the city, as have the
others Two things keep competition
for these great merchandising estab-
lishments out of the field. One is an al
most impossibility of securing desir-
able location in the center of the shop
ping district, and the other is the enor-
nous capital, and familiarity with mer-
chardising methods required
Some idea of the magnitude of the
largest of Chicago's retail stores may
be had from the statement that it en-
ploys more than $500 people regular
~, and increases this number by close
to 1000 more during the holiday season.
More than 5000, 900 worth of goods were
sold in the basement section Of this store
alone last year. In the restaurant
which it conducts 1900 people can be
served with seats at one time, and this
restaurant is crowded every noon. The
office of this store, that is the credit de-
partment. occupies about 10000 square
feet of floor space. The manager of this
department told me few days ago that
when he began work for the concern
as cashboy-the entire Office space con-
sisted of one small room about ten feet
square, with one desk and one employe.

The Small Shop Is uou,d havo
starved to DEATH
Half dozen men are doing it to-day.
Ten years ago one dollar was an un-
usual price to pay for necktie; to-day
hundreds of them are sold for three to
five dollars each every week.
Ten years ago it was only the ultra
fashionable man who wore custom-made
shirts, and there was but one or two
men in the city who made them; to-day
SO men are conducting prosperous shirt
making establishments.
The growth in numbers of the fash
ionable small shops, selling expensive
novelties for both men and women, has
been remarkable. The fashionable wom-
an has her shirt waists made by man
tailor who makes nothing else, and i'm
ports his models from Paris. For what
she paid three or four dollars few
years ago when woman made them and
secured her idea from monthly fashion
journal, she pays $12 to SIS for to-day.
and the name of the maker is left on the
garment and displayed as an indication
of the wearer's standing in society. AS
with women's waists so it is with hats
and shoes for both men and women.
They come from the fashionable small
shop in which names are taken as a
guarantee of style and good form.

THE sleeves not alone tell the vint-

THE sleeves not alone tell the vint-
age of the gown, but give the
distinctive touch in nine cases out
of ten as Dame Fashion rules in these
days. Sleeves just now differ enough
in style: to suit the most changeable
representative of the fair sex, the only
point of resemblance being a certain
degree of shoulder slope. This variety
is most welcome, for it enables a
woman to select different type OF
sleeves for almost every kind of gown
or waist, and at the same time secure
something new and suitable In tho
accompanying group which We take
from Brooklyn Eagle. are seen five IA
vorite models, in which the principal
points of the seasons sleeves are noted.
First is the new inverted gigOt
sleeve, shaped entirely to the wrist by
means OF the seams. and minus any
added cuff. Another is pretty exam
pie of the Stuart sleeve. edged either
with lace or hemstitched lawn frills 4
third shows a popular elbow sleeve,
decorated with rows of narrow ribbon,
and edged with handkerchief cuff
The fourth design is Partisan and semi
loose. It is gagged to the armhole and
round the upper arm, falling loose till
it reaches the wide gauntlet cuff. The
last style, suited to answering frock
or tea gown, is formed of deep pouf
edged with accordion plating.
Among other new sleeves can be
counted at least half dozen that are
distinctive in style. There is the
sleeve which is shaped like a crook
neck squash. It is long and tapering
until It reaches the main portion,
