A Short Ruainaaa Talk.

In a certain store the merchandise
manager sent for the ready to wear and
millinery buyers and said to them:
"YOu men are getting a bad accumu.
lation Of stock that is hard to move.
Hereafter you will make a daily and
weekly inventory and send the report
to this Office"
Both buyers declared this to be i'm
possible, but the merchandise man told
them to 60 and do 1t. Especially he
wanted them to show the age OF the
goods in stock, the sizes and the colors.
After attempting to take some OF
these daily inventories the buyers de-
cided that an easier way would be to
get busy and sell the goods faster. This
same plan has been used In many de-
partments with fine results.
There is nothing like the spot light to
engender selling activity In a store

PLANT For q Hanoino Basket.

Indoor gardeners will be interested
in watching this plant grow. 1t fol
lows the plan Of the strawberry In
sending out runners and starting new
growths at the end Of the stem. The
strawberry. however, has the earth to
establish its new growths. This In
door plant sends out the runners crop
Ing for earth where there is none. It's
called the saXifrage.
It is a favorite plant for hanging bas.
kets. A small tuft Of leaves develops
at the end of each vine. From tbis
tuft other runners are sent out. and
these in turn develop more tufts. BY
this method the saXifrage keeps on ex
panding until the basket is covered
with a network Of vines and blanke'
Of leaves.
The leaves, shaped like those Of th'
geranium, are a reddish olive color
yeined In white. It requires Ordinar.
soil and q moderate amount Of water
and shade.-Philadelphia North Amer

Value of Vacations.

Vacations, according to the New York
Medical Journal, are natures safety
valves for the relief Of the high pres
sure resulting from efficiency. Efhcien.
cy demands that throughout working
hours all the faculties be taxed to the
utmost without waste Of material or
Of energy, but If properly directed 1t
aims ut making an efficient mag before
an efficient product Therefore pro-
duction may not exact that the man
speed up beyond his endurance.
The recent application Of efficiency
methods makes the vacation more than
ever necessary. "The vacation" says
the Medical Journal, SHOULD be the
nearest approach to the simple life. II
is for this reason that the country, with
all its many inconveniences, is SO often
chosen for the place Of vacation. The
vacation period allows for the absorp'
ton and elimination Of the fatigue
products from the system accumulated
in the pressure period Of the work.
The longer the vacation, therefore, the
better the subsequent work"

Mvs%arv of q Eiah

In the economy Of nature nothing Is
more remarkable than the metamor-
phosis of the founder, which when
young swims in an upright position, as
do all other fish, but when maturity
develops it becomes topheavy, falls
over on it's side and its existence Is
passed as q fat fish.
That nature moves In mysterious
way is here freely illustrated, for when
the founder falls fat the two eyes,
which originally were on either side OF
the head, are transposed to the upper
side Of the fish, where they always
face the light.
The process by which this strange
change is accomplished has never been
discovered by scientists and is mar
velous instance Of natures operations,
for while the fish usually rests upon
bottom it can readily swim about In
any depth Of water.-New York Sun.

What "Barraas Fire" L.

An interesting feature Of artillery
are is the curtain" or "barrage' fire.
This means simply keeping up such Q
terrific fire on q certain area that an
enemy cannot or will not cross II.
When an infantry attack is launched
q barrage on the ground beyond the
enemy's front line prevents his re-en-
forcements coming up while the at
tacking infantry are having 1t out with
the defenders of the trench. II the
attack carries beyond the first line the
artillery Of the defense promptly In
,arposes barrage to prevent its reach
Ing the second line. II the attack on
the first line fails the defending ar
tillery puts barrage behind the at
tacker's line to prevent re-enforcements
coming up to it and to enable the VIC
torious defenders to counterattack and
