Real estate may be Of two kinds, Inn
proved and unimproved. As rule, it
is better to invest in improved real es-
tate, because the rental of the building
will pay taxes and interest on the
money invested II the purchase is care
fully made. In investing in improved
real estate it is advisable to find out
the condition of repair of the building
and the amount for which it will rent.
Fire insurance should be carried upon
the buildings, so that in case of fire
the loss will not be complete. This
insurance can be obtained for few
dollars thousand and runs ordinarily
from three to five years. Care should
be taken that the insurance policy 10
not allowed to lapse and the premium
should be paid promptly.
Farm lands sometimes prove a good
investment, but it II difficult for q
woman to run q farm personally, al
though q few have made q success at
this work. When a farm is rented the
tenant is prone to let the buildings run
down and not to cultivate the land
properly 90 that it becomes impover-
ished. A real estate agent will ordi-
narily look after repairs of rented
houses and collect the rent for q charge
of about five per cent. of the amount
collected. In selling property a real
estate agent will demand q commission
for the sale, which Of course dimin-
ishes the amount received.

MODERN SHOE DRESSINGS.
Their Making Different Proposition
from That Of old-Time
Backing.

Time was," said the manufacturer
of shoe dressings, when everybody
wore black shoes, and the leather COM
monty worn was calfskin. In those
days shoe blacking was to most peo-
pie just shoe backing, a paste black
ing put up in round fat tin box.
I'VE did import from France q paste
backing that came in oblong square
wooden boxes. and from England q
liquid polish that came in wide
mouthed stone bottles; but the great
majority Of people when they wanted
shoe blacking just bought box OF
the backing of the size they wanted,
and that was all there was to it;
though even in those days there was
an art in the manufacture of shoe
backing, and some manufacturers
turned out q product that came to be
well and widely known.
'Still shoe blacking was then to
most people just shoe blacking;; while
to-day there are plenty Of people who
never saw one of those once universal
" familiar old-time fiat round tin
boxes, and shoe dressings are now
made In great variety and put up in
many forms, and the manufacture Of
shoe dressings has progressed from an
art to q science, in which the chemist
plays his daily part.
s'These great changes In the business
have been brought about mainly by
the modern introduction into general
use, for shoes, Of many different kinds
of leather, and feathers of different
colors and shades of color, and by the
widespread use of canvas shoes, these
including great numbers Of white
shoes, calling for white dressings.
$50, while once the manufacturer OF
shoe blacking simply continued to
make shoe backing, with such Inn
provements in its composition as ex-
perience suggested. now the manufac-
turer Of shoe dressings keeps track Of
the leather markets. Of all the new
feathers and other materials put out
for use in shoes, and he must know to
what extent these are likely to prove
popular, and be prepared with dress
ings suitable for them when the shoes
come in the market.
"The chemist comes in here in the
compounding Of dressing that shall
not only be suitable but advantageous
" adapted to the leather upon which 1t
is to be used.
"And 30 we now have dressings In
the form of powders and of cakes, and
we have cleaners and dyes, as well as
many liquid and paste dressings. And
while formerly the sale OF blackings
produced here was practically confined
to this country, American shoe dress
ings now follow American shoes all
over the world"
