Trade Talks.
The Druggist.

Despite the fact that the young drug
gist knows his trade to be the poorest
paid on the face Of the earth among those
requiring skilled labor. there is no diminu-
tion Of enthusiastic recruits who look for
ward to owning a drug store of their
own. 1t is true that to become a drug
gist, one does not have to take special
course at a school or college, but the
are becoming so technical that special
knowledge must be acquired somehow by
the apprentice.
Though there Is no uniformity In the
state laws governing the pharmacist and
there is great laxity or strfctness accord
Ing to the temper Of the locality, the
usual training school for the young man Is
as an apprentice to a registered pharma-
cist for four years. On many points the
governing laws differ, but the usual and
ideal enactments are embodied in these
rules.
During the first two years Of his ap-
premiership to druggist the clerk Is not
permitted to flll prescriptions except un-
der the supervision Of the pharmacist
and in erect, is soda clerk, stamp dis
penser and purveyor of perfumed soaps.
His pay ranges from So a week up and
is usually less than that of similar clerk
ships in the same locality.
At the expiration Of these two years, he
can 60 before the State Board for exami-
nationAand II successful gets what in
druggists' slang is called his "a. a." on
qualified assistant papers. For the next
two years he can put up prescriptions,
but is not allowed to do 80 or manage q
store for longer than "a hours without
the presence Of registered pharmacist.
At the end Of these four weary, but
necessary years In learning an important
trade, the clerk can once more appear
before the State Pharmaceutical Board
and become a registered druggist. In
every case the object in life of the young
druggist is to open a store Of his own
for 1t is only in this direction or in acting
as manager Of a large store can he see
any monetary future.

Artistic Designs in New Wallpaper.

They come either in two or three tones
of the same color, or in several tones of
two or three contrasting colors The self
toned papers are suitable anywhere and
In any proportion, whether for whole
wall, or a half, but If the colors are
contrasting, an entire wall would be too
much In most cases.
For whole walls In large and small
rooms alike, and also in combination
with friezes more or less bold and pos
terish In effect, the invisible" stripes
and small invisible all-over figures are
deservedy becoming great favorites.
These and also the self-toned convention
allied flower designs just described come
in a heavy English paper with decided
effect of texture, this impression being
given both by the quality of the paper
and the variation In depths Of color. For
this reason these papers have largely
taken the place of the perfectly plain
papers as backgrounds for pictures.
The favorite tapestry papers are being
more and more widely used. The forest
effects are improved by the addition of
a crown-frieze design. They are now
also seen In panels, and with the addi-
tion of border have quite the effect of
real pieces of tapestry. The tapestry
effect is produced by giving these papers
n texture by means of last print, re-
presenting as closely as possible the
weave Of the tapestry

Sometimes the wainscot divides 1t in

these, and one rapidly growing In favor,
Is the panel arrangement. The designs
themselves of many of the new papers
show decided inclination toward this

To give the impression Of handwork.
rather than that of mechanical produc-
tion, the units Of repeat are made as
large and numerous as practical. Friezes
come either composed of several sepa
rate units, capable of different arrange
ments, or with one unit SO long that Its
repetition is not troublesome.
There are papers which are designed
with the express purpose Of having de-
tails added by hand after they are on
the wall, and others that are made largely
by hand Among the latter are the hand
brush papers-the blocks for these are
colored wholly by hand, giving an op-
portunity for mottling and shading which
makes this paper outclass all others In
beauty and richness Of color. However.
the person who wishes to indulge In hand
brush papers must not need to consider
the cost.
The conventionalized papers are per-
haps the pleasantest to live with for
more than brief interval of time. These
embody the theory that plant forms In
their natural state are not adapted to
the ornamentation of fat surfaces; that
all the colors must be laid on in fiat
tones, without any effect of relief at all.

The underwear shown in the larger
drawing was sketched from French mod
els, but the majority of the garments pic
tured could be copied very effectively
with much less expenditure of time than
the fine hand work would demand In the
making of the originals. The shapes Of
the underwear sketched are all excellent,
and 1t must be remembered even in max
ing the simplest of machine-made under
garments that the ft and cut are most
important.
The shape of up-to-date underwear Is de-
signed to give the wearer round and
taperng waist, and to fit over the hips
without wrinkle, but with the aid OF
good patterns, very beautiful underwear
can be made at home for fraction OF
what such models would cost in the shops.
If will be found an economy to buy mate
rial for these garments by the piece. Main

quality for ABOUT two dollars dozen

gowns, corset covers, chemises, and draw

When under-pettlcoats are worn, during

pretty, especially when trimmed with
dainty rufies showing alternate stripes OF
lace and washable ribbon Of equal width
The tops of all petticoats are gored' az
are also all the best models for drawers.
Combination garments are very popular,
and are almost obligatory when the gown
to be worn over them is made princess.
The combination garment Is, of course,
worn over the corset. Sometimes IL Is

WALL STREETS MACHINERY.

What does It cost the people to play
the wall Street game? Indirectly, of
course, the people have to pay, but as a
tangible proposition. the Spectator Is
heavily assessed for the privilege Of try
ing to whipsaw fortune. In brokers' COM
missions and interest alone, the specula-
tors contribute to the 1,100 brokers con-
stituting the New York Stock Exchange
about $50, ,00O, 900 year.
This vast sum comes from the brokers'
commission Of S25 per bundled shares
bought and sold, or S12.50 either way. It
naturally follows that comparatively few
of the famous Wall Street. fortunes have
been made by speculation-that is the
speculation of their possessors. They
have been made by the speculation of the
public who want new and expensive toys
to play with year after year. The power
full houses are those who manufacture
these playthings for the speculative pub
lie. The next grade of affluence Is en-
bodied IL the brokers who help the child
like public to swap and resell these toys,
charging a fee for each process.~ In addi-
tion to this sos, 900, 900 entrance fee, there
is fully S100,00O,000 that is lost by
less subtle process-the perennial shake
out 1t often happens that Inside"
brokers will load up with inactive ana
rather dubious stocks at a period when
they are very low. These are held until
the speculative public, under careful
manipulation, Is induced to engage In
frenzied buying and at good high prices.
Soon the market becomes top-heavy by
reason of its senseless imitation and be-
gins to sink to its formers level The
downward movement is accentuated by
brokers who suddenly become pessimistic
bears and sell short.
The usual margin put up BY spectators
on purchase of stock is a 10 per cent. cash
deposit to protect stock to a certain point.
For instance, a stock selling at 100 Is
protected for him until it drops to 90.
At that point, the broker closes his ac-
count unless further margins are put up
to protect its downward fight. As 1t Is
the unfailing characteristic Of lambs to
be frenzled In purchasing stocks just
when they are most expensive-so also
are they panic stricken and sell on a
falling market. OF course, their stocks
revert back to the 'tnsides" at rock bot
tom prices.
The freeze out" is a more subtle and
Machiavellian process whose surface effect
is the separating of weak interest from
the ownership of stock In enterprises
that are about to become valuable and are
therefore coveted. The bad judgment OF
the luckless ones will amount to about
S75,000,000 n year.
By making up the total, 1t will be seen
