THE Eva-Nine G'A ‘ A NEW‘EHOPPING SCHEME. How New ‘I'or'k Dry Goods Houses Gel ' Business. . "You won’t have. to go as far as the ra-cctracl-zs if you want to find a tout," said a policeman who had lately been transferred to the shopping district. “There’s lots of them here on thistnew post of mine. "".‘.'l~.cu I first came on the post I was kept guessing at the reason for the crowds of wuuen in front of big win- dows. I never could get near enough to get onto the game, for What Show has a man to get into a crowd oi women looking at a. new style of some- thing to wear? I could always see one Weigisui close to the window give another a card or write something on a slip of paper. At last I got so workznl up about it that I asked my wife to and it out for me. It seems it wasn't a game but business but things are that mixed nowadays you can’t for the life of you tcil where a game stops and commercial enterprise begins. When a woman stops and gets to look- ing at some bargain in the window the woman alongside of her just mentions in a ladylike way that she saw some of the same goods down the street, and it was 3 cents a yard cheaper or some such thing as that. That starts them talking, and. maybe the first lady thinks she will go down to the othei place and hav a look to see if the goods are the same thing. She may want to make sure of the address, for it’s hard to make your way when the place is so crowded, and then the oth- er lady happens just by accident to have one of their cards, which she picked up when she was in there get- ting something. They work it mighty fine and make it seem as natural as you please, but every one of them we- men is a tout for the other shop. Think of the smartuess of them!

Several years ago, John Harms and wife, of ' Suisnn, with their three- mouths-old baby, took passage on a steamer from San Francisco to the Klondike gold fields. them from their home a large dog. of no special breed. but, as Mr. Harms. said, “dogs are valuable on the Yu- kon,” and. as Mrs. Harms said, “Jim was baby's protector.” The many stor- ies of dogs” affection for children were not exaggerated in .lims's case. His only object of earthly worship was: that baby. After a few months’ resi- dence on Bonanza Creek the baby died and Jim was inconsohible. He would not permit caresses or attentions even from his master, but kept watch over the little mound on the hill for many days and nights. One day he came. home. and, after being fed by Mrs. Harms, trotted off in the direction of ‘ an Indian village about a mile distant. lie was gone for two or three days. One evening, when Mr. and Mrs. Harms were eating their evening meal. they heard Jim's scratch on the door, and upon opening it there he stood. wagging his tail ferociously and look- ing very happy. and at his feet lay a little Indian baby he had stolen and carried home. tied up in a piece of old blue blanket. with nothing visible but its little round face—Truth. The Old “Lyceum” Systcnl. During a long period. says Col. T. W. Jaigginson in the Atlantic, I lectured a great deal in what were then called “lyceuin” courses, which stretched 'over the northern half of the Unite?- States, forty years ago, to an extent now hardly conceivable. There were two or three large organizations or bureaus which undertook systemati- cally the task of bringing speaker and audience together, with the least pos- sible inconvenience to both. One of ~ these, whose center was Dubuque, 10.. negotiated in 1807 for thirty-live lec¥ turcrs and 110 lecture courses, under- taking to distribute the one with per- fect precision, as to supply the other. As a result. the lecturer left home with a printed circular in his pocket, assigtr‘ ing his dozen or his hundred engage— ments, as the case might be. As a rule he would meet in each new place what looked like the same audience, would make the some points in his lecture as before, would sleep at what seemed the same hotel, and breakfast on the He wdhld re- ceive the usual compliments, it any. 'and make the same courteous reply to the accustomed questions as to the acoustics of the hall and the intelli- .gence of the audience. White House Clock. The most interesting clock in the White House, of course, from its his- tory, is the clock in the blue parlor. which was once the property of Na- poleon Bonaparte. who presentedit to Gen. Lafayette. and the latter pre- sented it to Gen. Washington. The frame of it is made of alabaster-and French gilt bronze. It has to be wound but once a month. it keeps time to—day as accurately as when first ' made. Tibet is known as the Lincoln clock, purchased when President Lin- coln was in the White House, is an ob- ject of interest in the Red Room, and is of ebony and gold. It strikes the quarters, halves. and hours. In Mrs. McKinley’s room is a clock which has been running without the slightest in- termission for nearly thirty years. The . clockat the foot of the stairs leading up to the President’s office is the one that the public generally sees. It is rather modern in construction. of the ,‘regulator’ pattern, and is very reliable. The clock in the Private Secretary’s room is admired for’its cathedral gong: rather than anything else, but if is a good clock, and has; so provedlitaeif. for the ten or: fifteen years it has, been . flier ,”-Wubinit‘ou Star.

The story is well known of her that. in order to deal with the ill-health of her husband through obesity], she has studied medicine, passed her examination and taken a degree of M. D., and thus became the only queen M- D. at present in exist- ence. Queen Amelie has another ac- complishment—she is a born milliner and has a room set apart at the palace where dainty hats and bonnets are made. And thereby hangs'a pretty and pa- thetic story. Once while out driving in the streets of Lisbon she observed a large crowd surrounding some object. The queen sent the footinan to see what was the matter, and when he re- ported tthat a young woman had faint- ed she immediately left her carriage and had the-unconscious girl brought to a neighboring shop, and personally attended her professionally. The queen had the young woman re- moved to her own home. had inquiries made about her and learned the girl’s history. ing failed to get employment, had ven- tured to undertake work on her‘owu account for the support of herself and her invalid mother, but with so little success that she was nearly st: rved. Queen Amelie sent at once some necessaries and commanded the girl‘s presence at the palace. Here she re- ceived her in the workroom and hand- ed the poor niiliinei- three bonnets of her own creation. . “Take these as models, call them 'bonucts Amelie’ and tell your cus- tomers they are made after the queen’s own fashioning." Her majesty wore herself one- of the identical bonnets, and commanded her ladies to do likewise. Within two months the once-starving girl could take larger premises. and to-day she. is herself an employer of over 20'.) women—Philadclphia Press. A Blouse “Mist \‘Xitll Plaits.

For. pins have been proved to be a prolific source of danger in spreading con- All kinds of germs. it is said, can be Collected under the heads. and nurses who indulge the feminine habit of holding pins in their mouths lay themselves open to serious attack. ' The doctors who have warned the public say that many of the so-call- erl new pins are not new at all, bul have been picked up in the streets and laid side by side with the others; The idea is not an altogether pleasant one. and is, moreover. one likely to increase the uneasiness of the over-fastidious. There are some women now who are so afraid of germs that they wash all their gold and silver pieces before handling them. and who never allow a, bank bill to go into their purses un- til it has been wrapped in some kind of disinfectant paper. They even re quire the shop girls who hand them their change to wrap it in paper first. What is to be done, if all this is so with the popular superstitions about picking up all the pins that one sees and never passing a penny in the street? .
