inside History Of the Scheme.
The inside history of the whole
scheme-one Of the biggest and clev-
crest ever put up, it is said in Wall
streets In brief os follows:
Brazil produces nearly 80 per cent.
of the coffee drunk in this country.
Practically all of the Brazilian coffee
used here is grown In the State Of Sac
Paulo. There was an enormous crop
in Sac Paulo in 1901. It demoralized
trade. Early in 1906 there were indi-
cations than Sac Paulo would produce
another bumper crop with the prob
ability that the market would again be
glutted and prices reduced to a ruin
GUS level. The state OF Sac Paulo de-
cidod to "valorize''-in effect, to equal
ize tho market prices, by buying and
storing the surplus crop. The idea
back Of the scheme was hat the lean
years fould follow fat ones and that
the stored berries could then be fed
into the worlds NAV judiciously and
prices maintained.

NAL crops followed the abnormal one
and the stored coffee could not COM
mand the price necessary to meet the
debt which Sac Paulo had contracted
In order to carry the surplus. Shrink
age and storage charges and other ex-
penses began to eat In measurably and
trouble was ahead. Tho Brazilian
government thereupon came to the aid
of Sac Paulo and agreed to assume
that states valorization debt and also
to fioat the whole scheme on its own
account.
Hermann Sielcken, the millionaire
coffee importer Of New York is credit
cd with having originated the Sac
Paulo valoriza$ion scheme, and 1t is
said he was largely instrumental in in
ducing the Brazilian national govern
ment to assume the plan. According

SIMPLE CARE OF SHOP GIRLS

Rival merchant princes throughout the world generally admit that Marshall Field established and developed to the highest perfection the de partment store in Chicago which still bears his name. In beauty, convenience attractiveness, and in its innovations it is conceded to be in the first rank. For many years the salesladies in this wonderful establishment have been wearing black or white shirt waists, with black skirts, and their hair neatly done without artificial adornment. Simplicity has been the keynote, and so successful has the policy proven that a further step has now been taken.
 A dress censorship has recently been estab- lished, due to the fact that some of the girls have sought exaggeration within the marrow limits allowed them. The manner of dress and arrangement of the coiffure has aroused crit icism, and the appointment of woman who will pass on dress is the result.
 Following are some of the things she has ta- booed:
 Pads, hair puffs and rats, fluffy lingerie, peek-a-boo waists, powder or other makeup '' fashy rings buckles, and pins.
 The change will work no hardship, and it should be welcomed by the girls themselves. Few employees in stores or shops get sufficient wages to live comfortably, unless they live at home. When one girl is able to dress better than the others, she stirs envy, and attracts too much attention from the customers. Others less fortunate strive to equal her, and it leads to ex- travagance.
 Good manners, an attractive personality a desire to please, and interest in her work count for more than dress. Similarity in the garb may seem like livery or uniform, but that does not necessarily follow. Numerous occasions of fer to all girls to dress to the best their purse affords, and a change from the simple garb of the store to that for the evening at the theater or for calling should be pleasure sufficient to offset any possible feeling of servility during the working hours.

TURKEYS NEW DEVELOPMENT

Thesnew regime in Turkey promises to be of more than sentimental interest in the United States. The development of the country offers opportunities for successful American enter prise. Modern methods of agriculture, with the use of machinery, will render profitable great tracts of land. Much mineral wealth also awaits development. Inland towns need rail ways and wagon roads. Constantinople has no electric lights or railways and no telephone. It has inadequate waterworks and only poor ice plant Capital is invited to make investmens, and promises are made of large concessions and franchises. There is now an antiquated horse car line, but the company is willing to sell or combine with foreign investors who will intro duce electric power. At least 10000 people. it IS estimated, pass daily over the bridge between Galata and Stamboul, distance of one-third of a mile.
 Lack of transportation has hindered the de velopment of mineral wealth. Already one American firm has offered to build nearly 300 miles of railway through Asia Minor to the Mediterranean. If this concession be granted. It IS reported that rich mining region will be opened. Certain lines of manufacture, hith- erto government monopolies, are now offered to syndicates. All this information is known in Europe, and 1t IS said that American investors must hurry to avail themselves of beckoning op- portunities. It seems far cry from the United States to Turkey, but the call sounds inviting.

The Sayings Of Mrs. Solomon (Beng the Confessions of the Seven Hundreth wife)
 BY MAUD MARIE

o man, hear now the supplication of woman
 Lo, am meek. My patience is long endur- ing. I ask but little of thee, here below; for I know how little I shall get! Even the odd moments of thy time and third of thy sal ary, yea, and of the steak the toughest DOT tion.
 Which one. among ye hath not deceived me and been forgiven? Which one among ye hath broken his word and hath not received my mercy? For little lie told for love is bet ter than bitter truth told for malice!
 Yet pray thee, when thou dost offer me an excuse, make good one! Yea, when thou dost feed me with falsehoods, see that they be convincing, even ingenious! Spare me the old "fairy tales" and suffer me not to bow mine head in shame that thou thinkest me too easy.
 Lo, drop thine ashes upon my carpets, and fill my curtains with smoke, despoil my sofa pillows, and cover my divan with the mud of thy boots. But tell me not how thou lowest thy wife and then invite me unto luncheon; for thou shalt be trampled upon
 Make me to suffer and to sigh, make me to want and to wait, make me to curl my hair in vain for thy coming, but do not make me ridiculous! For thou shalt feel the sting of my scorn! Yea, thou shalt be cast out into utter oblivion. Thou shalt be cut from my list.
 Kiss me today and desert me tomorrow; love me and leave mel But I charge thee, do not leave me for strawberry blonde, neither for chorus girl; for cannot abide it!
 Oh, crush out my hopes and break thy dates with me- shatter my best tea cups, and burn my draperies with thy cigarettes, walk upon my ruffes and tread upon my heart, but spare my vanity! Selah!

of wings, and fell at Perouse on the top of St. Mary's church and broke his leg.
 In 1850 the prior of Jongland fitted himself with feathered wings and leaped from tower of the castle. He fell into heap of refuse, but survived.
 In 1860, one Allard, tight-rope performer, made an attempt to fly before Louis the Grand at Paris but he met with a fall which crippled him for life.
 So it seems that the idea of aerial flying is really an old one, but it remains for this cen tury, with the Wright brothers as the leaders, to make it success.
