 Systems have been devised, by which, with the aid of a single clerk, a more minute and accurate record can be kept of a great business house than could be kept by a large force of accountants. A good example of a perfect system is the one used by firm of cigarette makers who have a private trade, for they make their goods to order for individual cus- toner's The characteristic feature of their business is that they mix the to- bacco to suit each individual customers S taste. They must have direct commu- nication with their patrons, and these patrons buy as few as 800 cigarettes at a time To get their trade is easy; to hold 1t is more difficult. On their files they carry the tastes of perhaps 200o smokers and the formula of the mixture which suits every one best. together with a design of his crest or monogram, which he desires stamped on his wrappers Ev- cry customers daily consumption is not ed and by the automatic operation of their system his name comes to the front a week before he may be reasonably expected to have exhausted his last or der.

PRINCESS LOUISE.
Had a Bright Smile and a Nod for
 Everyone.

Heinrich Strauss in the Era Magazine.
 To the Saxon court came the young archduehess of Tuscany to be the princess of Prince Frederick. She brought with her the warmth and vivacity which is cherished oy the Italian climate in which she had lived, and the informal customs and habits of the small house from which she came. She was pretty. sprightlv and unreserved, just the reverse of her dull and formal husband. She was only twenty-one on her marriage and for eleven years she lived in Dresden
 In the capital city of the kingdom she became immensely popular. The very qualities which endeared her to the peo- pie widened the breach between her prince and herself She fretted under the severe forms of the court. Once at a grand state dinner while she was sur rounded by a retinue of the court she raised her glass and shouted "Prosit!" to the king, her uncle. "Prositm Is a salute like Good healthw used familiarly in the cafes, and not at all the language for formal dinner of state.
 When in the theatre and seated in the royal box, the princess was wont to nod familiarity with prominent persons in the audience with whom she was acquainted and even shook hands with them over the
 
 the worst At that time bicycling had only begun in Dresden and women rarely rode The staid people of the capital were shocked to see the princess, their Future queen. appear one day on the public streets of Dresden astride a bi- cycle! The prince, her husband, and his father severely disapproved and for pun ishment of these and other exploits the Princess Louise, 1t was reported, was more than once imprisoned in her own apartment.
 When her first child was born, many persons of high standing came to call and extend congratulations. This they did in the most formal manner possible standing 2loof and making set speeches with solemn looks In return, to their complete astonishment, the young mother would order that the royal child be ac- tually brought within the presence of the visitors; and more than that, she would place the baby in their arms.
 The guests were so overcome by this that they would all but let the royal in- fant fall. The other princesses of the Saxon court, you must remember, rarely smiled in public, while Princess Louise had for nll cordial. smiling greeting. And for this familiarity and informality the wife of Prince Frederick, it was whispered was frequently subjected to house arrests confinement in her own apartments. This only increased the sympathy If the populace.
 It has always been believed in Dresden that Prince Frederick loved his wife not withstandng her infractions of the rigid rules of court etiquette.

of holding their own with feminine rel atives in needlework. The Grand Duke of Hesse, for instance, has taste, and spends a great deal of time doing em- broidery work of an elaborate and skill full character. His royal highness takes the greatest interest in his work Some time ago he embroidere, shawl in twelve colors, the design representing episodes in the history of a distinguished noble family. The shawl was sold at bazaar in Berlin for e25O, and was after ward purchased by an American million aire for double that amount.
 Not the least treasured among the possessions of Queen Alexandra is a magnificent crocheted lace shawl worked by the Crown Prince of Denmark His royal highness has always exhibited a fondness for crochet work and, although his efforts as a boy were discouraged. he never gave up his hobby, but often worked in secret. until he was at last al- lowed to follow his own inclination. Now adays the crown prince has little time to devote to crochet work. But occa- siona1ly he will show that he has not lost his skill with the crochet needle by making lace ties as presents for some of his personal friends.

Every hNihg woman has seen this thing happen over and over again, but no woman has learned anything from it.
 Just think of giving up a brothers love, or being separated from him by barrier crueler than death, of having sons door open to you only on suffrance, and 10 Know that you are the most unwel- comed guest that ever crossed the threshold!

We shall merely presume the clubman knew his own business and, at any rate, 1t isn't any of our affair. We shall be able to come and go as we please, without taking the neighborhood into our confidence, or offering explana- ton or apology, for so long as we in- fringe on nobody else's rights. no one will trouble themselves about our move ments.

MEN WHO KNIT.
Famous Men Who Ply the Needle
 With Skill.

From the New York Mail.
 Out of doors J. Cathcart Wason, Brit ish M. P. for Orkney and Shetland, uses rod and gun with skill. Indoors he plies the knitting needle, says an exchange. MT Wason makes his own stockings, and his fondness for the occupation is said to be such that nothing but the overpowering !" chaffing" of his fellow members compelled him to cease from knitting regularly in the smoking room of the parliament buildings.
 Another member of parliament skilled in the art of needlework is Gerald Bal four. It is doubtful, however, if either of these gentlemen is as s-dllful with the needle as Victor Bowring- -Hanbury. Pre- vious to his marriage MT Bowring- Hanbury lived with his mother, whose home now contains many examples of her sons efficiency in needlecraft. In the drawing room, for instance are to be seen some beautifully embroidered chair backs and cushion covers of a workman ship so exquisitely fine that one can hardly imagine it having been accom- plished by the fingers of a man.
 In royal circles there are at least one prince and duke who are quite capable

The Missouri College of Agri-

the reason young men choose law,
