Wants a Talented Musician.

have received from one Of the foremost
musicians OF the world an order for a
violin virtuoso Never having turned
out any work of exactly this character
before, naturally We are giving IL a
great deal of study and work. We get
orders daily for physicians, trades
men, engineers ana the like. and have
practically mastered that branch, but
we find the higher arts much more diff
flcuIt of development. An entirely DIFF
ferent group Of component parts is
required for work Of the latter kind"
do you think you win succeed in
making the virtuoso?"
Certainly" he replied. with mani
fest confidence. II do not say to you
that we shall succeed the first time.
We may be obliged to waste considera-
BILE material and time in experiments.
but eventually, OF course, we shall sue

How will you know you have sue

have this music here to influence the

Money in the Business.

Women are in charge of the sales
department. and many of them ex-
hibited great cleverness in disposing Of
their stock crowd of purchasers,
both men and women, swarmed the
main saIesroom, and the voices of the
buyers and the crying and cooling of
the infants mingled discordantly.
First grade babies, from six months
to one year. were selling yesterday
from $50 to $10O. Inferior grades
brought $25 and less.
rs there any money in this bust
ness?" we asked the head saleswoman.
just as she had sold a bouncing fat
baby TO a well-known millionaire,
"Oh, yes, indeed" she replied. You
see, the cost Of production is trihing
aside from the salaries of the chemists.
They must be the most expert of their
profession, and their pay roll is enor-
nous. The materials used in the man
ufa cture of an ordinary stock baby,
wholesale rates, cost about six cents.
From the time the protoplasm leaves
the laboratory until the infant is ready
for sale the only additional cost is
heating the incubators."
do you supply special orders for in
fants?' she was asked.
Certainly" she said, with apparent
pride THAT is where our work shows
the most marvellous results. Our con-
fidentiaI order department is the most
ness, and it is there our best workmen
are employed"
How is that department conducted?"
the nervous little woman asked.
