Give them something of real merit put up in an attractive form, and which when they try they find exactly as re- commended, and they will not only keepdgn‘ buying, but will tell all their frien about it. A notable instance of this is-Ivorine Washing Powder, which has been so largely advertised in our paper for some years past. The makers have been putting a cake of Toilet Soap in every package, which gives the house-- keeper .just so much more value than she would get with any other washing powder. As Ivorine is such a splendid article, and the Toilet Soap such an ex- cellent soap, it is no wonder that the ladies are pleased. Ivorine Washing Powder is made by The J. B. Williams’ 00., who make the Williams’ Shaving Soaps, which have been famous all over the world for more than half a century, and it is not surprising that Ivorine has won such a favorable reputation for itself in the opinion of good house- keepers, nor that it should have such a large and rapidly increasing sale. .

The Bertillon System Now in Use Promines to Yield Very Important Results. The Bertillon system for the identifi- cation of criminals has proved a success at Sing 'Sing. The entire roll call of criminals, 1,386 in all, lhave now been photographed from :two points of view, profile and front, and the photographs have been mounted upon identification cards. To photograph a criminal is but the work of a minute or two. To take and tabulate the various measurements that are required by the system con: same about a quarter of an ihour in_ each case. . The Bertillon system receives'its name from the inventor, Alphonse Ber- tillon. He tried to call it the anthro- pometric system, ‘but the public pre- ferred the French proper name 'to the mouth-filling Greek compound. THE BERTILLON SYSTEM. It consits of a series of accurate and 'minute measurements of various por- tions of the human body, assisted by photographs. The photographs are use- ful. as has been shown by the Rogues’ Galleries of various cities, but they are not infallible in themselves, as has been shown also in the same way. It is often impossible to recognize the same indi- vidual in three photographs made in three successive years. Photography, therefore, which comprised the most important part of the old' system, is merely an adjunct to the new. The special value of the latter depends up- on minute and accurate measurements of those bony parts of the body which undergo hide or no change after ma- turity. Notes are also made of the complexion and the color of the eyes, hair and heard. These measurements and descrip- tions leave the criminal “spotted” for life. He may efiface his tattooing, com- press his chest, dye his hair, shave his beard, extract his teeth, scar his body, and even dissemula'te his height. All is useless. The record against him is unfailing. He can-not pass the Bertil-lou archives without recognition. PET BEAR AT THE 200. It Eats in the Restaurant and Follows the Keeper About Like a‘ Dog. There is a new hear at Central Park, New York, and it bids fair to become _ the greatest pet of the Zoo. Director Smith has named it Pete, after Keep- er Shannon, and Shannon is very proud of it and likes to pick it up and car- ry it in his arms. It is six months old, and is the gift of J. D. Archbold, of Tarrytown. He obtained it in Canada four months ago, and has kept it in his house and let his children play freely with it. It is a black bear, and its nose is gray. It is three feet long and a foot and a half high. Keeper Snyder took it all around the Zoo yesterday, and it trotted at his heels like a big dog. IIeAlct it climb a tree, and it was im- mensely pleased. Then he led it into the Zoo restaurant, and made it sit up :it a table with him. It ate a meal of cake. candy and sandwiches with in— tense enjoyment, and then topped it off with a bottle of milk. . A big crowd gathered about the res- tuurant doors and watched the bear‘s movements with intense interest. Pete was finally led into the old dis— used monkcy house, and temporarily placed in a cage there. In the cage be amused himself by sliding, in n comi- cal, sprawling way, from one end of it to the other. He was left alone for a time, and when the keeper roiui'ncdhc found that Pete had clawed into his cage :1 , suit of white clothes, left beside the cage by a painter who had been a‘ work on the house. Pete was having great fun with the suit, and was try- ing hard to get the trousers over his head. The Best for Children. “I believe Chamberlain’s Cough Remedv is the best for children I ever used.

Changes that Haye Taken Place. in Her Home, Her Husband and Her Children Since 8116 Became a Traveller-~11 New Woman in Real Life. This story is in the nature of a con- tribution to the world’s knowledge on the subject of the. new woman, so called. It is an account of a woman who is trying to be a wife, a mother, and a commercial traveler all at the same time, and of some of the results of her experiment. This particular new woman was, as a girl, bright, spirited, popular, and full of gumption. Her father was a bookkeeper. He died suddenly, leaving his family with straitcned means. This daughter quickly decided that she would set herself to work to earn money with which to help out her mother. She found employment in a big store, and liked it. She had an ap- titude for her employment, was clear: headed and energetic, and did so well that sheinssured for herself such pro— motion as the place offered. Before promotion came she married. Although as wife she never neglect- ed her domestic duties, shc spent a good deal of time with her friends, and was constantly seeking outside channels into which to direct her sur- plus energy. One of these channels happened to be a charitable fair, the management of which, owing to a se- ries of mischances, fell almost exclu- sively into her'hands. Here she dis- played so much energy and business ability that the success of the affair was attributed to her efforts. One of the persons interested in the fair was a business man with a large trade out— side the city. His attention was at- tracted by her work and evident tal- ent, and he spoke to her several times on the subject. “I wish I could get women with your shrewdness to go traveling for me,” he said repeatedly. “I could make it well worth their while by, the money they would earn.” The suggestion set‘ the woman to thinking, and eventually she acceded to his proposition. The money so earned cased up cer— tain matters considerably in the house- hold and overcame whatever scruples the husband had about permitting his wife to be a drummer. The wife had ample time apart from her business duties to attend to her familynnd her household. Up to this point no speci- fied harm had been done. After awhile the family moved frdm the suburbs into the city, because that was more c'anenient for the wife. They found a four-story house in a good neighborhood, .let out two stories as furnished rooms, and occupied the rest themselves. . The husband proved to have ele- ments of weakness in his character, and life in the city developed them. . While she was at home between trips she could. not conceal from her- self the evidence of a process of dete- rioration that was going on. The wife was seriously considering whether she should not make up her mind'to aban- don her trips away from home at once, when something else happened. The rent of the house in which they lived was far more than they could af- ford to pay, and by letting out two floors in furnished rooms they got their homo practically rent free. Of the income from this source by far the larger part came from the second floor, w lICll was routed to a. man with his family. Some doubt had been felt by the wife about him, and she had asked her husband to investigate his references, because she had not time to attend to the matter herself. Il'hcn she returned from one of her trips she found the tenant installed in the house, her husband having let him in to avoid giving himself trouble. This man showed :1 sociable disposi- tion, and one night met the husband on his way home. "Let‘s have a drink,” he said. The result was that the tenant helped the husband home. The next morning he stopped in to see his land- lord. ”Say,” he said, “you’re such a good follow that I want to ask a favor of you. I want to hang you up for the week‘s rent. I am a little short now because I'm out of a job, but in a con- ple of weeks I’m, promised a $5,000 place. Is it all right? Then have an eye-opener.” Having once established his credit the tenant paid his rent when be pleased. The husband was supposed to look after the house while his wife was away, and it was a disagreeable surprise to her when she discovered one day that they were a couple of months behind in their rent, because this tenant had been permitted to roll up'a debt; whose proportions were se- rious to them. At the same time fura thcr inroads had been made on her husband's business capacity by his Sessions with the tenant. Thus the wife found herself confronted with the necessity of earning money enough to pay off the arrears of rent as well as the notes for unpaid furniture. That is the situation of the family at present. The husband is earning less and less, and the house is costing more and more because they do not dare to put the unprofitable tenant out, fear- ing to lose what he owes if they should do so. _ ' ‘ A Restful Accident.
