A NEW SHOPPING SCHEME. "
How New York Dr! G00ds House. Get
Business. ,
“You won’t have to_ go as far as the
racetracks if you want to find a tout,"
said a policeman Who had lately beer-
traust‘errcd to the shopping 4 district.
.~“There‘s lots of them here on this new
post of mine. » '
"When I firsr came on the post I was
kept guessing at the reason for the
crowds of women m front of big win-
dows. 1 never could get near enough
to get onto the game. for what show
has a man to get into a crowd ,01'
women looking at a new style of some-
thing to wear? I could always see one
woman close to the window 'give
another a card ‘or write something on
‘a' slip of paper. At last I got so
worked up about it that I asked my
wife to iind it out ”t'or me. It. seems ii
wasn’t a game but business but. things
are that mixed nowadays you can’t for
the life of you tell 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 good-s down the street, and
it was 3 cents :1 yard cheaper or some
such thing: as that. That starts them
talking. and m:iybé’“the first lady
thinks she will go down to the other
place and have 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 wo-
men is a tout for the other shop. Think
of the smartncss of them! .It’s like
getting a stable tip on what to wean--

AlTHFUL JIM’S BABY. .,'
The Dog Goes Foraging and Returns “’itll
an Indian Child.
Several years ago, John Harms and
wife, of Suisun, with their three-
months-old baby, took passage on a
steamer from San Francisco to the
Klondike gold fields. They took with
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
wasbaby‘s protector.” The many stor-
ies of dogs‘ affection for children were
not exaggerated in Jims‘s case. His
only object of earthly worship was
that baby. After a few months' rosi-
dence on Bonanza Creek the baby diet
and Jim was inconsolablc. 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 cam-3
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.M
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 be had stolen and
carried honie. tied up in a piece of old
blue blanket. with nothing visible but
its little round face—Truth.
The Old “Lyceunl” System.
During a long period, says Col. T. W.
lligginson in the Atlantic, 1 lectured
a great deal in what Were then called
“lyceum” courses, which stretched
over the northern half of the Unit-co
States, forty years ago, to an extent
now hardly conceivable. There were
two orthree 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 Dubuquc, 10..
negotiated in 1867 for-thirty—tive lec—
turers and ‘110 lecture courses, under-
taking to distribute the one with per-
fect precision, as to supply the other.
Asia result, the lecturer left home with
a printed circular in his pocket, assign-
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 same points in his lecture as
before, would'sleep at What seemed
the. same hotel; and breakfast on the
same tough beefsteak. He would re-
ceive the usual compliments, if any.
and make the same courteous reply to
the accustomed questions as to the
acousrics of the hall and the intelli~
gen‘cc- of the audience. 4

The most interesting clock in the
White House. of course, from its his-

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
‘in’ade. What 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-

" 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

handling them, and who never allow,
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 bonuets 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 footman to see
what was the matter, and when he re-
ported that a young woman had faint-
ed she immediately left her carriage
andhad 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; She was a. milliner. and, hav-
ing failed to get employment, had ven-
tured to Undertake werk on her own
account fer the support of herself and
her invalid mother, but with so little
Success that she was nearly starved.
Queen Amelie sent at once some
necessaries and commanded the girl‘s
presence at the palace. Here sthro
ceivod her in the ‘.vorkroom'and hand-
ed the poor milliner three bonnets of
her own creation. ,
“Take these as models, call them
‘bonnets Amelie” and tell your cus-
tomers they are made after the queen’s
own fashioning.” »
Her miijcsty 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 200

the material front for the left side;
then arranged to hook down‘ centre.
The material for the right side is

~ Disinl‘eetcd Pins.
It may be before long that our pins
will have. to be dipped in, c'arbolic acid
before being put on our bureaus. For
pins have been proved 7o be a prolific
source of danger ‘in spreading con-
tagious diseases. All kinds of germs.
it is said, can be collected under the
heads. and nurses .who. indulg'e 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‘
ed new pins- are not new at all, but
have been picked up in thestreets 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 ot‘ the over-fastidious.
There are some women now who are
so ai‘raiuof germs that they wash all
and silver pieces before
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 charge to wrap it in paper first.
