Cleanliness About Stores.

Close observers note that the most
successful grocery stores are the ones
which are kept in the cleanest and
neatest order. There Is a large class
OF people, and they are not the richest
ones, either, who would rather have
good, clean groceries, things they
know are pure and kept right, and pay
good price for them, than have in
ferior, carelessly kept goods at cheap
price. Attractiveness about the grocery
Is a most important thing. It means a
saving all around. In the southern
country where the summer weather
continues for the greater part of the
year too great care cannot be exer.
ctsed in the looking after stocks. A
little neglect will cause losses that
will prove serious. Some classes of
goods II not protected from insects
will be soon ruined. The grocer who
would have his windows attractive
will do well to avoid having stale
things displayed. He should strive to
make an impression that his stocks are
clean and well-kept.

SYSTEM IN BUSINESS.
Necessity Of Making Appearances Such
as to Please the Sensitive Public.

System in the average retail or even
wholesale house has advantages in
more ways than one. It is now gen.
orally conceded that system is neces-
sity to dispatch of either Office or
house work. It also is necessary to
appearance. A well-systematized
store, no matter what kind of stock it
contains, presents much handsomer
appearance than one with the odds
and ends jumbled together as If DEFY
ing human ingenuity to unravel it. The
eye-photo or unconscious mind impress
sion received by the customer, while
totally unconscious of it's impression,
is lasting and decisive.
The dealer and each Of his clerks
may enter the store In which they
work and not notice the want of sys-
TEN, but the impression is constantly
going out with each visitor to your
place of business.
1t is we'll to occasionally look at the
matter from the other side of the
counter. Imagine yourself in the stead
of the customer. See what sugges.
tons you could make for an Internal
Improvement if the store belonged to
the other fellow. You will be sur.
prised to see how many things you
would change.

Washington College Girls Angry.
When Bishop Scadding of the do.
cese of Oregon, in the Episcopal
church, said that western girls are
cheaper to entertain than the eastern
variety, he was unaware that he
touched a tender spot In the make
up of the girls at the University Of
Washington. The varsity young wom-
en- say the Bishop does not know
whereof he speaks. or he would not
make such assertions.
The girls say that q gaze at Mount
Rainier is not substitute for ice
cream, and that they demand other Or.
ticles of diet besides sea food. They
also intimate that the Bishop. has
not been in the habit of entertaining
the sweet girl graduates of the land
or he would not say they are cheap to
feed.

are expensive Injuries and that they

at the station house, all detained for

While on our tour of inspection the
most frightful cries came at intervals
from one part of the main building. As
they continued I began to be assailed
by nervous apprehension that l
might be called upon to witness some
horrible torture, for I felt sure that
nothing short of that could call forth
such unearthly yells.

The corridors of cells were arranged
like the spokes of wheel, one war
den sitting on a platform that was the
hub. Labor is saved in this way, for
one man can watch five corridors Of
IS cells each, making in all 40. There
are two of these wheels built in the
inner court of the prison, so that ESQ
cells are watched by two men, who sit
on revolving stools and, by turning,
can take in at glance the five cor
ridors intrusted to their vigilance.
A head warden sits between the two
wheels and maintains a general super
vision, so that practically the entire
number of prisoners are watched by
but three men.
There is another Enclosure where
there are cells for punishment. The
most severe form is the dark cell.
where prisoners are punished for in.
subordination. They cannot be con-
fined in this cell for more than II days
at a time.
The cell for the next less severe
punishment has little light; so, in
graduation, there are several cells for
varying degrees of punishment.
The prisoners all work in different
shops at basket-weaving, making mats.
iron utensils and all sorts of things for
which there is ready market. They
work from $50 a. m. until IL, when
they have their midday meal This il
principally rice, and quickly eaten.
Until IL they rest (sitting comfortably
on straw mats).
Advantage is taken of this time fer
one of the four resident chaplains to
give the prisoners q talk. The day I
visited the prison it was during this
midday rest, and the men in two large
work-rooms were sitting quietly listen.

FIRE FIGHTING, 20:
LICE AND PRISONS

\~OPyAA6ASs W JO9CQ1 D. oOWle3.1
One evening while going through q
street in Japanese town, Yokohama,
heard clanking sound at regular in
tervals, and found it was made by a
man who as he walked along was
striking sort of sword on the ground.
At the conclusion two plates OF
bronze or brass were driven together,
making metallic clang. I was told
that he was Waterman, paid by con-
tributions of few sen a month from
the households along the way. AS he
goes about, changing his sword, it is 4
comfortable assurance to these peo-
pie that all is we'll.
This Waterman is for fire chiefly,
as the houses of the Japanese town
are mostly all of wood, and a fire
once started means widespread de-
struction before it can be got under
control.
On a little cart are also carried
two folding screens Of asbestos, about
five feet high, with which the men pro-
tect themselves when facing the fire.
fire departments the whole outfit
seems like q toy.
The police department will much
better bear comparison with those of
other countries than the fire depart
ment..
I was told that about 1875 police be-
long to each station house. Their
names are written on little blocks Of
wood, in red on one side, and black on
the other. The men are on duty in
the station house for two hours, and
outside for two hours, and the little
blocks are turned as they come in or
go out, the red or black showing the
superintendent at glance just where
the men are.
We were shown the cells, which
were about ten feet square, fairly
light, very airy, and Immediately
