It's discouraging work to £11 the lunch bag day
after day. It’s uninviting to open the lunch bag
and find the eternal bread, bread, bread. Bread is
good, but it’s .monotonous—it lacks novelty.

THE BIG DEPARTMENT STORE.
It IS
i Small City In Itself. With
Schools. Hospitals, etc.
In a large number jf stores I lie
. early morning hours are devoted
to instructing new employees, and
at this time cash girls and boys
gather around the inspector’s
, desk, learning to measure off
goods, verify sale-slips, wrap and
tie parcels, and handle money
sent to and from the cashier’s
di'sk. r*
A few firms conduct actual
schools for their younger employ
ees, giving instruction in the ru-
dinieutnry branches—reading,
writing, nrithntetic, language and
geography—thus taking the place
of night schools for their girls
and boys employed in the cash
department or the stock-rooms.
A,number of well known New
York firms in their establishments
iu Philadelphia, Chicago and Now
Y’ork offer this advantage for a
few hours daily, and find both
-boys nud girls most appreciative
students.
If an employee is detained at
boms by illness or a death in his
. family, a statement to this effect
■k in writing must be sent iminedi-
A ntely to the office. Kailuro to
comply with this rule means tbnt
the delinquent will ho hauled be-
fore the superintendent on bis re-
S tnru to duty, and an explanation
■' will be demanded.
Many firms isaue to ench em-
plyee regular statements of the
Y latter's standing, showing how
* . his sales compare with others in
hia department or chits, These
are much like report cards at
■chool.
If nil employee is taken ill
while at work, he reports to his
Jloor walker, and is released, the
time lost heiug deducted from his
pay check. An exception to this
general rule may be noted at one
of the mammoth New York stores,
where the tlrm and the Kinplov-
eo’s Association have jointly es
tablished what is known as the
sick room. An employee tempo
rarily indisposed may report to
the phvsicmu in charge, and if «
brief rest and the administration
■ of simple remedies prove effica
cious be takes possession of one
the comfortable cots provided lor
tluB purpose, and returns to his
duties when able, lie docs not
lose this time. If the physician
pronounces him unable to' work,
he is supplied with medicine amt
ordered home, his pay being

ROLLING AN UMBRELLA.
Tha Proper Way la to Twist Itlba
and Stick Together.
“Why is it.” asked an inquisitive cus
tomer Jn a downtown umbrella store,
“that one can never roll up an umbrella
as compactly and neatly as it is rolled
when he buys it?’’
“You can if you only know how,”
said the salesman, "but if everybody
knew how it would mean less business
for us. The umbrellas would last lon
ger, and there would l>e a lot less work
for the repairers. ’
‘‘Perhaps I shouldn't tell you how,”
the clerk contiiuicd, "but It's so simple
you should know anyhow. If you have
noticed, nearly everybody who rolls up
an umbrella takes hold of It by the
handle and k?epg twisting the stick
with one hand while he folds and rolls
with th£ other hand. *
“Sow, that’s Just where the mistake
comes in. Instead of twisting with the
handle he should take hold of It just
above the points of the cover ribs.
These points naturally He evenly
around the Stick. Keep hold of these,
pressing them tightly against the stick,
and then roll up tha cover. Holding
the ribs prevent^ them from getting
twisted out of place or bending out of
shape. Then the silk Ik bound to fold
evenly and roll smooth and tight.
"Itoll your umbrella this way, and
until It Is old enough to get rusty look
ing It will look us If It had just come
from tl»e shop."—New York Herald.
The Previous Qneatlon.
Old Senator Nesmith of Oregon, one
of the first settlers of the state, used
to tell this story: At the time when
Oregon was admitted as a state and
the first legislature of the state met
Nasmith, who was a member. pos«
ed himself of a copy of a hook on par
liamentary procedure. This work,
which was at the time probably the
only one of Its sort west of the Mis
sissippi, ho studied diligently and by
the time of tho first sessiou was well
up in the rules of debate.
At‘the first meeting of the new leg
islature a motion was introduced and
speedily carried, but on the second
measure a dispute arose, and for three
days the stute legislators wrangled
and debated.
Finally, on the third day, Nesmith,
who had watched tho proceedings
without even opening his uioutb! de
cided it was time to use a piece of his
parliamentary procedure, so he rose
nud moved the "previous question.”
There was a moment of silence fol
lowing this motion, and then nmld a
shout of derision the speaker cried:
Sit down, you fool! We passed the
previous question three days ago!"
Where Gnsllih Clubs Differ.
A point which strikes American vis
itors to I-omlon about our English clubs
is the social aspect of them and tho al
most complete absence of the business
side. . At the Manhattan or the Knick
erbocker.-on the other hand, the busi
ness side prevails, Tho majority of
memtiers do not drop in merely to road
the papers, hear the latest story and
play billiards, as over Lore. They go
in most cases to meet a man about "a
deal," to talk over the business, of the
duy and discuss the business of the
morrow or to rend up the finance of the
papers. The result Is that when an
Amcrlonn becomes a member of at)
English club ho hardly ever UBes It be
cause its ways do not appeal to him.

of that state. “The air there Is so dry
Id certain localities, the nights so clear
and the moonlight so bright that one

An easy way to prevent this Is to was*

be polished, but an invisible film will
remain which will prevent moisture
being deposited ou them.
