Why Women Fail.

the very few-girls and women who
have the true business instinct and the
welfare of the concern at heart Wom-
en- IS a class are failure in business.
We have ten complaints against women
clerks for every one against men
clerks.
Women do not go into business to
work. They think they do, but they do
not. They take up business career to
secure a salary. and they think that
because they are women that salary
ought to come easy, just as the average
negro thinks that anything in the way
of clothing or food around his employ
er's house is his, because for years his
ancestry were provided for by wealthy
slave holders. So does the average girl
reflect the influence of her maternal
ancestry in believing that all things
should be given to her. Oh, | know
what you say. 1t is matter of the
Shareholder in both caSes-the owner
in one. the husband in the other. Well,
LET me tell you that 80 per cent of the
girls in this store to-day are looking
for husband shareholders capable of
Sunnorting them. Walk around this
store. talk to them as l talk to them
and YOU will hear the burden of their

along and take me out Of this. l hate

ssneuafured Women"

1t is said that some Of the club wom-
en- of New York complain Of the way
In which the parks Of that city are
Uttered up by parties of children, says
a western paper.
No doubt such complaints have been
made. for there are fnical women ev-
erywhere. but we doubt il the whole
burden Of the attempt TO block the
childish fun should be laid at the door
Of the club women. who are often the
objects of unjust criticism. We should
rather suspect that the idea originated
with those denatured women, whether
members of clubs or not, who sport
dogs instead of children.

It is unwise to wear new dress. 1t

Whenever possible it is money well

A feather boa or a lace fichu has a

To Clean Jewels.

A sharp pointed implement should
never be employed TO clean rings. as it
loosens the stones. Soak them in liquid
ammonia and the dirt will be loosened.
Afterward they should be polished with
a soft cloth. 1t is a good plan to keep
rings in sawdust, as it enables the gems
to retain their brilliansy. Warm water
and little prepared chalk are all that
are required TO clean plain or chased
rings.
Toilet articles, vinaigrettes and other
small trinkets may be easily frightened
without the use Of powder by placing
them in an aluminium receptacle and
pouring boiling water over them. Pol
ishing should be done by means of a
piece Of clean chamois leather, but in
adopting this treatment it must be re-
membered that the silver should never
be allowed to become furnished.

When n Girl Is Engaged.

The wise girl needs no advice as to
how she shall bear herself during the
period of her engagement. There is
do danger that she will not take it Sc
riousfy. The risk III her case is that
she will be so much burdened down
with her new duties that she will lose
sight OF the lighter and more pleasur-
able side Of il. That is not the happi

Fewer girls of this type. however,
are found than of the other. There are
girls who consider all love affairs more
or less as jokes, even those that lead
to marriage. pheir point of view is

be the custom not to announce an Ell
gagement until very brief period be-
fore the wedding cards We're out. Tn
der these circumstances a girl seemed
to take a keen pleasure in concealing
her new relationship from those about
her. 1 have known of girls who would
not hesitate to deny point-blank the
fact Of their betrothal, even within
few weeks of their marriage. l once
heard a girl say: ''All my fun would
be at an end if my engagement were
announced. l shall have to live with
one man for the rest of my natural
life. and | mean to fly about little
before I settle down with him."
One would be tempted to condemn
this sort of thing unreservedly were it
not that those same flrtatious girls
often become the most devoted wives
and mothers, and never bestow a look
Or a thought upon other men after
marriage. But, although there are In
stances of this kind, it is a decidedly
unsafe rule TO follow. More than this.

PRESERVING THE FORESTS.

Forest Reserves.

Conserving Streams by Means of the
Forest Reserves.
The destruction of our forests has
been going on at so great a rate as to
alarm the public mind and prepare the
people to accept some remedy, saws
Outing.
The interests Of irrigation and navi-
cation have called attention to the
necessity of preserving the sources of
our water course by retaining or restor-
ing the forests from which they flow.
Fortunately many millions of acres
Of wooded lands are still held by the
national government, and about $4,000
apart in eighty-three permanent nation
al forest reserves. The primary pur-
pose of these reservations is to con-
serve the streams and provide means
Of irrigation and also in some degree.
TO influence the rainfall. They are we'll
scattered in the far west and are gem
orally upon land which is Of little value
for agricultural uses
They are reserved for the use of man
and not reserved from his use. The
ripened trees will be cut as they may
be needed. There has been much local
opposition to many of these reserva-
lions, but time and observation have
greatly changed the local sentiment.
The experimental stage has passed and
they can therefore be accepted as an
established fact. and the question nat
urally arises as to what extent they
may he utilized for the preservation Of
the remains of our birds. fish and game
and be used as sources Of propagation
and supply At least portion of these
lands should be so used. The writer of
this article has for many years endeav-
ored to secure legislation to this end.
Wyoming has shown her sympathy with
the movement by declaring perma-
ncntly closed season in that part of the
forest reserve adjacent to the Yellow
stone National park.

The Bible In FOREIGN Lands.

The British and Foreign Bible Society
now distributes the Scriptures in no few
er than 400 languages.
This is one of the many interesting
facts presented recently at the societys
meeting in London.
Copies of the Bible are purchased from
the British and Foreign Bible Society for
cheese, eggs, arrowroot and many other
commodities. In the New Hebrides ma
tives pay for the Bible in arrowroot. In
one of the New Observation-Disclosures
so generous have the native Christians
become that during the last eleven years
they have grown and given arrowroot to
the value of $1,000 for the good of the
Christian cause and for starting other
churches. Nothing else is used in these
islands for the purchase of the Scriptures,
but arrowroot, 10 pounds of which will
buy Bible.
In Saa. one of the British Solomon
Islands, Bibles are bought with dead dogs
teeth. Other things used to purchase BIZ
bles in different parts of the world are
barley, eggs, pigs, goats, fowl and beads.
