I Solved 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. Break the monotony with the new delicacy— Uneeda Biscuit Nutritious—healthful—satisfy ing. Uneada Biscuit are sold only' in the In-er-seal Package, which keeps them airtight and moisture proof. - 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 docked in the usual way.

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. He would say that there was nothing going on.—London Tntlcr.
