Like another woman
—the one who’s used Dr. Pierce’s
Favorite Prescription. She’s a
stronger and a happier wonpn—
and a healthy one. The aches,
pains, and weaknesses, that made
life miserable are -gone—the fane
tional disturbances r or irregularities
that eaused them have been cured.
Face and figure show the chan;
too. Health has restored I
charms that rightfully belong to
ier. For all tbe weaknesses and
ailments peculiar to womanhood,
-■**Favorite Prescription” is a posi
tive remedy. Ho other medicine
for women is guaranteed, as this is,
to give satisfaction in every case,

has done, warrants them
in guaranteeing what it will do.
It’s the cheapest medicine y
can buy, because it’s guaranteed to
give satisfaction, or your money is
returned.
Ton only pay for the good you
get.
Can yon ask more ?
That's the peculiar plan all Dr.
fierce’s medicines are sold on.
This is the wag
with the Ball corset: if you
want ease and shapeliness,
you buy it—but you don’t
keep it unless you like it.
After two or three weeks’
wear, you can return it and
have your money.
Comfort isn’t all of It
though. Soft Eyelets, and
“bones" that can’t break or
kink—Ball’s corsets have
both of these.

'Dm unfailing law of busiuet* is that
wherever there i« an opportunity for the
profitable Investment of capital the
money is forthcoming to keep tliat Bnsi-
nesa imnmiilg im.1 to seize npun the moat
advantageous aitea. And soft haa come
about that capitalists have not disdained
to take hold of the bootblucking basi
licas. While waiting for a lawt outside
of the Twenty-third street ferry to Jer
sey City a Sim reporter got a shine from
a remarkably bright and efficient Amer
ican hoy, whose mode of denning and
shining indicated a good deal of experi
ence.
“Why don’t you go inside and pick up,
business on the boats, where yorir cus
tomers can get coiufortatil , seats?" in
quired the reporter.
' “I wish I could," said the ls>y, “but
they won't let me do it."
“Why. I have seen hoys ou the boats
blacking lamts, and they seem to make
lots of money."
1 “Yes. They don't see a day that they
do not pick up at least a dollar, and
from that all the wa^ up to three or
four, or sometimes five.' But they can't
keep tlie money themselves."
“Why not?"
“They have to give it up to the Italian
padrones. There are three Italians who
have bought the right from the railroad
company, and they are the only ones
who are permitted to black boota on the
ferrytmats. They have hired a lot of
Italian boys, to whom they pay three
dollars or fonr dollars a week, and tbe
boys are compelled to give up all their
earnings to the padrones who hire them.
If the boys do not tarn in un amount
that is believed to be all their earniugs
the |iadroiies put on spotters and watch
them, aud see that they do pay up.
BOOTBLACK PRINCES.
"Well, wiiy don't yon go in and buy
the right to shine hoots on the boats?”
“Me? Why, do yon know what those
padrones juiy for the right to black boots
on all the boats? They pay over $2,000
a year, and keep the men’s cabins clean.
A poor hoy liasu’t much chance to get
that job. I used to work for tbem, but
1 find I can make more money bv stand
ing ontside and catching some of the
customers before they get ou the' boat.
Then nil I get is clean profit, and I don't
have to pay over to any padrone."
On all the stenmiioats and steam-hips
and railroads, nt the hotels, in front of
saloons—in fact, everywhere where men
go there are to be fontul capitalist boot'
blacks who hire the best places, or there
is an arrangement by which the owner
of the boat or hotel or barber shop hires
some one to do the bootblacking and
taken the money himself. There have
thus arisen several bootblack princes,
sntii ns tlie enterprisisg Italian who has
tlie monopoly of tlie bootblacking nt the
Produce exchange, or tlie happy colored
gentleman who does up the business iu
tlie Equitable building.
Many of tlie bootbluck princes buve
wires utid families and nice homes, and
they dress well and live well. At the
big hotels the income from the privilege
of blacking I loots is a considerable part
of tbe revenue of the house. It has long
ceased to i>e a perquisite of tlie servant.
A chair in a good place will yield five
dollars a day for bootblacking, and on
extra occasions a good deal more. Tiie
bnlk of the work is done by men. It
really requires considerable lame and
sinew to black a pair of boots well, and
the man who has once noticed tlie differ
ence between the way an average boy-
does it and the way a man takes hold of
the work will not care to risk tbe boy's
work ngain.
ART IN BLACKING BOOTS.
There are a good many points about
blacking boots that give scope to the
genius of the workman, aa in all manual
occupations. The bootblack who once
establishes a reputation for qnick and
good work lias bis fortune made. Men
will go out of their way to meet him,
and will wait their tarn as for a favor
ite barber.
On hut days bootblacks' chairs are
very tempting on the street corners in
tbe shade, and many a man stops and
takes a shine just for a rest. Tlie sum
mer is the bootblacks’ harvest, because
there is so much traveling aud so much
dost. Some saloon keepers exact rent
from tbe Italians who have chairs for
bootblackiug in front of their saloons.
Others are content to tue the Italians’
services iu cleaniug np the place or for
running errands. Sometimes the pro
prietors come out and occupy the chairs
as lounging places, to the great chagrin
it tlie Italian owners.
Some time ago it was poinfed out that
a good many women would get their
shoes cleaned and shined us men do if
they could have the same facilities.
Nobody seems to have acted on this sug
gestion yet. But it seems likely that
there would be money in it. When one
man finds ont that there is money in it
others will follow. As it is, tunny women
are ashamed of their shoes, and long to
get up on the chairs and have a shine.
Occasionally a venturesome girl does so,
but she generally finds herself un object
of considerable cariosity.
Improvements may 1n> seen in tlie evo
lution of the bootblacking business.
Fancy chairs, better biacktttg, a man at
each foot, the use of chamois bancs for
finishing, little points of attention to
dress, the varnishing of rnsset shoes, the
oil shiue—all these show that the boot
blacks are in harmony with the spirit of
the age; that they have their eyes open
to the necessity for keeping pact) with
the pi ogress that is going on in other de
partments of human activity. When
the chorus of tbe nations culls upon each
lraaiuess to show, what it has done of im
portance in the evolution of society the
modem bootblack will take no subor
dinate place, bat he will shine like one
of his own most polished shoes.—New
