THE SALESWOMAN.
Why It Is Sometimes Difficult for Her to
be Pleasant.
From the Minneapolis Journal
Have you ever stopped to think
ihat the position of a saleswoman
in a large dry goods store is a par-
ieularly trying one? Not to speak
if the many unreasonable demands
hat are made upon her by the pub- signed
lie, the physical requirements are
considerable. Working long hours
being compelled to stand most of
'he time, and being expected to
look plea-ant regardless of suffering
which she may be enduring, is it
any wonder that the weak, nervous
women find it impossible to follow
his occupation Everyone will be
interested in (lie experience of Miss
Nellie M. Tomlinson, of 3118 Minne
haha avenue, Minneapolis, Minn.,
who is a clerk in one of the large
dry goods stores of that city In a
recent interview Miss Tomlinson
-aid:
“When I was eight years of age I
had the scarlet fever and it left me
•wrh weak kidneys and a comphca
; >n of diseases I was so nervou-
tint I could nol sit quietly in r< h<>o
and would have to go home early
every day. Finally I b came so bad
hat I left school and did not go for
>tu entire term I had headache ail
>:he time and was too irritable to
talk with any one. The least ex
crement seemed to make my heart
flutter and a fainting spell would
follow. At times I became so diz
zy that I would have to sit down
until the feeling passed away. My
blood seemed to have turned to wa
ter and I had no color w hatever in
my face I was a mere skeleton and
had to lie down several times dur
ing the day. We called our family-
doctor and he left medicine, but no
better health followed. I then had
one of the best physicians in the
city, but he did not help me.
“My parents read about Dr. Wil
liams’ Pink Pills for Pale People in
one of our city papers and thought
it would be wise for me to give
them a trial. I began to get better
when I had taken the first box and
by the time I had uspd two and a
half boxes I was cured. Before 1
took the pills I could do no work of
any kind, but now I can perform
with ease my duties as clerk in a
dry goods store. I think I w’as nev
er before so well as I am to day and
it is all due to Dr. Williams’ Pmk
PfiIs for Pale People.
“I have recommended the pills to
many of my friends and they are
getting the same good results. I
will be glad to have what I have
said published if it will induce oth'
ers who are suffering to try Dr. Wil
liams’Pink Pills for Pale People
and be cured as I was.”

The sugar cane crop of Louisiana

BUR ARTICHOKES.
Hotf the New Orleans Market Gar-
doners Grow TIicni*
The European or bur artichoke, as it
is called in tlie south, has been culti
vated in Louisiana for a great many
years, especially by tlie creoles. There
is no evidence of European varieties
having been generally introduced of
late years. It is quite possible that the
plants were originally introduced as
potted suckers or seeds may have been
sown, but there is no definite record
in regard to the matter. The varieties
in general cultivation in the vicinity of
New Orleans are apparently entirely
different from the European.
Tlie soil particularly adapted to this
plant is the rich alluvial Mississippi
bottom land. It is considered useless
to attempt to grow artichokes on any
but a rich, well drained soil, and the
use of large amounts of barnyard ma
nure gives better results than the use
of commercial fertilizers, but cotton
seed meal has been tried with very sat
isfactory results.
The method of cultivation is simple.
Rows five feet apart are raised like
sweet potato ridges, and the artichoke
suckers are set out in bills four feet
apart in the row. Four small suckers
are planted in a square five Inches
apart in each hill. This number is used
in order to obtain a sure stand, tlie
weakest one being removed when it is
assured that the other three are thor
oughly rooted. The ground is frequent
ly cultivated so as to keep down the
weeds. The suckers may be planted in
the autumn or winter, from October to
December, or in spring, not later than
the 1st of March. In the latter case the
crop will be ready to harvest the fol
lowing spring, not in the autumn, as
might be expected. With the varieties
grown in Louisiana it apparently
makes no difference whether the plants
are set out in the spring or late au
tumn. The crop is harvested during
the months of February, March and
April.
The first artichokes which appear on
the New Orleans market in the latter
part of February sell often for $2 a
dozen, while those marketed in.ADril
