[ became on thatone trip utterly diszusted with the Missouri trade in To be sure there are Mis- sourians whoare learned and are fine types of character, but 1 speak of the majori my trade. But really, did it ever strike you, that you ask a Missourian where e is from and “he will invariably say St. Louis, St Josoph, Kansas C some oue of the large cities, never from Missouri ¢ After] gavewp Missouri I annexel Ne- braskato Iowa in preference, and have been malking this state for nearly one year, and worked up # very nice trade in my line. Of curse therc are a great many obstacles to sirmount, but L presume I suffer no more in- conveniences than the typewriter insome offce or book-keeper inmy custome Of course mine isof a different nature beve a faculty of looking upon the brightest side of everything, while they may become depressed and feel that the world and all is aguinst them. Previous tomy going into this business Ilived in a town of about cighteen hundred inbabitants, One wherein n0bodys business is everybodys. Having sve- ceeded in getting my position as an “‘angel of cowanerce,’ of course my friends began to wnder advice. 1 know ‘that I needed it, being extremely green, butnot sich advice as they gave. 1 was uctuallyled to believe that Tmust shun the traveling -men, asthey were on theroad to perdition, and all who as- ed with them would fallinto the same vay. Thatis wiong entirely. Allow me to remark, aud you women who have an es. pecial grudge against traveling men, heed what [say, They areasa class theinost courteous gentlemen with whom I meet. To sure, there are some among the traveling community who are utterly beneath our cognizance, but, isn’t it the same in every business? Taice from your professional men to your porters, The Tich man to the poor one. ~ Often-times when it comes to free-heartedness and pure manli- ness, the latter will be the most worthy of praise. Thus itis among the traveling men; did you ever aska traveling man for a cent i the way of benevolence but what you got it! Did any r lady with several children, ever need assistance on the railway train, but what Mr. Traveling Man was ready and willing to lend a helping hand¢ I may have 100 good an opinion of them, but I think not, Stopand consider that I am'in the socisty of men almost entirely, and they traveling men, and never by word oraction have they ever treated me other than a lady, 1 make myself conspicuaus to a degree, be- cause I have an idea that it furthers the in- terest of my business, Did I not, I'm fearful of being forgotton almost as quickly as I had left the town and upon my next trip it would be nceessary to introduce myself again and it's very bumilisting, to myself at least, to walk into 8 man’'s store with a beaming countenance and a feeling of scquaintance and have the proprietor failto recognize me, T dou't keep himlongin doubt. Omnaha trade has always treated mo especially well, and 1 have customers in Omaha whom 1look upon as personal friends, and right herel must sveak of the hotels, I can perceive & decided umprovement in the western hotels within the past year, 1 have some very comical exper- jences alsoin these country hotels. It is a business habit of mine to walk into all hovel:' oftice, register, call for my mail, ete. ; but oc- casionally, goivg into some hotel where I'm not known, the portor will lead me to the lady's entrance of the house, into the parior andI had them offer to bring the register in therr, ratlier than have me invade the pre- cincts of the ofice. Then the questions which areasked and which I oftentimes evade an- swering are amusing, Askif I was a_ book agent; uow if there Is anything I _dislike it being taken for a book agent. When they ascertain to a_certainty what my business is [am looked upon almost the same @sa I enjoy their looks of amuzement. Oftentimes traveling men will say, “Why, they never refuse to buy from you dothey( 1 should say they did! = Whilé, I am confl- dent of mukinga sale if there isany need for them, I say nobody can sell an article if the dealer makes up his mind he doesn’t want. it. 1remember once taking an order from a man, in atown in fowa. He give me the order as [ learned afterwards sinply to get ridof me. AsIhave a peculiavity of making visits of from two to three hours in lengtn, of course it all depends on the dealer, you cotld not blame him much for his actions, but I did. Hisorderhad not been in the house more than twenty-four hours, before they re- ceived @ letter’ from him countermanding said order, Tho same together with ordor swas immadiately sent to me, 1 thercupon sat down and wrote a letter to him, such asho mnever received before, I guarantee, but the joke was I addressed it to the firm and this man’s partner (to whom he made his brags about giving me the order so asto getrid of me) got the letter first and read. Itwas sucka jokeon the buyer that he was unable to keep it to himself, 5o told it about town. Iwas ledto believe that the gentleman in question left town for the summer, or something to that effect. Inever called at that store again. It is strange so many people think that just because I solicit their order, they can take their time about giving it, and then perbaps,as Isay countermand it, giving some pluusable excuse. They consider it child's play apparently sud mot & matter of business. People say, “Do you_get a man’s salery for man's work!" No, I donot; butl get a good salory. More than theaverage of working women, But, if Iam comparatively young inmy business and there is plenty of time and chance for an improvement in my ability, aswellus salery. I have found itthe samé in this as every other business, 1f one goes *o work with a determination to make & suc- wess, there is no chance for failuve. I've been told that until I have been the wictim of a suow blockace or arailway smash- up, I'll not be a full fledged commercial traveler, I'm motat all anxious to become oue if such is the case.

His aversion inlife was his middle name, He blushed for it the first time he awoke in the morning, not to mention awakening inthe night sometimes overcome with a sense of shame, He was in hourly horror at school for fear the boys would call it alter him in the street, and theonly times thathe could brace uput all was the first day that a new boy came to the school, before he had had time to find it out. Even then he wusoppressed with dread and would eye the lad furtively, wondering to himself, * How soon will he find it out?” Parents are very thought- less about this thing, according to the Home Journal. They do not look ahead and remember that it is selfish enough to invite a youngster into the world without atleast asking him what he would like for a name which has got to stay by him day and night, be the only thing leftof him when nhe makes his exit,and to live after himon atomb. stone when all else of him is forgotten, It would be & kindness to number child- ren when they are born, as Jones one, Jones two, or first Jones, second Jones, and so on, and allow the youngsters to select a name when theyaro old enough, Then at least they would have one thin, less for which to blame mamma an papa. e The useof calomel for derangements of the liver hasruined many afine coustitution, Those who, for similar troubles, have tried Ayer's Pills testify to their efficacy in thor- oughly remedying malady, without in- Jury 10 the system. SOUTHWESTERN MINES, A Good Year for Prospecting in Arls zona and New Mevico, “This will be one of the best seasons for prospecting that the miners of New Mexico and Arizona have seen for the last four years,” observed Slason Jordan of Socorro, N. M., to me at the Coleman house, says a writer in the New York infall during the rainy qar has been heavy, and watercourse is full, while in the tains all the tanks or crevices rocks are overflowing, water on the Southwest frontier has always boen the great drawback in the discovery and development of the im- mense mineral wealth which lies hidden in the mountain ranges of Arizona and New Mexicoand in those of the border- ing Mexican states of Sonora and Chih- uahua.” “Is there much prospecting being done inthe southwestern territories just now “Considerable, but not anything like somuch as was done in past years. You seq, both Arizona and New Mexico i gone beyond the mere prospecting 'stige and are engaged in the development of established mining properties instead of speculating with holes in the ground through middlemen, who in turn seck to unload them on eastern capitalists. In the old days, when rail- ronds had just opened up in the te tories, when a prospector found mi that assayed well he dug a4 hole on his claim about twelve feet deep and bonded itto a middleman, who went eastand sold itfor a mine, Ninety per cent of these so-called min turned out to be worthless. St. Louis fist in the fild buying up prospects for mines, and & number of its prominent citizens burned their fingersin the attempt to find material wherenature had never placed it—at least in paying quantities, Among them were ex-Governor B, Gratz Brown, Otis R. Gibson, at one time minister to Ger- many, and General John Boyle, “It'is altogether different now. A man cannot sell a prospect except he has developed it sufliciently to show an ore body in sight, and so it follows that proSpectors who have anything find it more profitable to work on the claims they have rather than gginto the moun- tains searching for others, Moreover, the mountain rangeson our side of the border have been so thoroughly pros- pected that it s only going over old ground, and the chance of finding any- thing is about equal to the chance of drawing the capital prize in the Louisi- ana lottery,” **Where do the prospectors go. then?" ““They are nearly al going into Old Mexico now, spreading themselves among the foot-hills of the Sierra Madre on both the Chihuahua and Sonoro slopes. 1 firmly believe you’ll hear in a month or two of some wonderful dis- coveries in that region, it the Apaches do not go on the war path, It is won- derfully rich in minerals,” “Is bflere any danger of an Indian outbreak ?" ‘‘There always is and there always will be as long as the government main- tains the San Carlos and Mescalero agencies close to the frontier line of Mexico, and no amount of troops can give protection to prospectors, isolated mining camps or ranches, When| left Deming about ten days ago, there was a small band of Apaches raiding in the Hatchet mountains, and it was rv-lmrted that several men had been killed.” *“What effect has Secretary Windom's decision against the admission to the United States of argentiferous lead ores had on the mining industry of thesouth- west?” ““A very bad one, It hasput an ef- fectual stop to the investment of capital in smelting and reduction works. With- out the cheap lead ores of Mexico, of course the low grade, dry silver oresof New Mexico and Arizona cannot be treated with profit, as we have only alimited supply of lead ores in the Ter- ritories. It has had another bad effect. The capital that would have been in- vested in smelting works on our side of the line is now being invested in Chilua- hua and Senora and the businessof ex- porting ores from Mexico tothe United States will soon die a natural death, to the detriment of our railroad interests,” e Goorge Campbell, Hopkinsville, Ky., says: Burdock Blood Bitters is the best prepura- ;iol:(urthu blood and stomach evermanu- actu in the he want of ] ——— IT HAS A HISTORY. Interesting Story of a Bell Taken From a Submerged thip. When you visit the rooms of the natural history society on Boylston street ask the custodian to pointout to you & ship’s bell which rests upona shelf, says the Boston Saturday Iven- ing Gazette. This bell has a history attached to it. Aboutthe year 1856 or 1857 a firm in this city sent an expedi- tion under the charge of Mr. Whipple, the noted submarine diver of the d‘n_\-. fully equipped with armor and divers, o explore the banks of the Gulf of Mexico forsubmergedarticles of value. The expe- dition returned indue time froma suc- cessful trip, the vessel loaded with kent- ledge chains and anchors. Among the many crafts discovered and explored was a British frigate. From this was taken the ship’s bell, stamped with the broad arrow; also, from the hull, several sheets of copper stamped with the ini- tials of the dockya in which the frigate was coppered, and also the year of its application. A statement of these facts, with asheet of the copper, was was sent to the late George Sumner, who wus then in London, He placed them before his friend, the earl of Clarendon, who was then connected with the British admiralty. On examining the records of the dock yards, it was ascertained that two frigates were coppered the year of the stamp, and were sent on their way to f‘uin the fleet about to attack New Or- eans at the time of itssuccessful defense They were never by General Jackson. heard of after leaving their moorings. One of these was the frigate discovered by Mr. Whipple. In this accidential way was communicated to the govern- ment and friends of the officers and erew intelligence of the fate of the ship. Perhaps a second Whipple may discover the resting place of the United States sloop-of-war Albany, which disappeared in the same waters, carry- ing to the bottom, among other noble souls, Lieutenant John Quiney Adams, grandson of the president of that name, who, if he had lived ten years longer, would have added luster to his patriotic name and family, A more accomplished and gullant officer than Licutenant Adams never trod the quarter deck. The bell is overhung with a massive canopy of coral, which is considered of great scientific value ns showing the growth of coral in & definite number of years. e Beware of frauds- Be sure ]you get the genuine Dr. Thomas' Electric Of It cures colds, croup, usthma, deafness and rheuma- tism. — - Facking a Luncheon, Luncheon should be carried if possible in & basket and not in a close box, be- cause the free entrance of air that is pos- sible in a basket keeps the food in a bet- ter and more healthful condition, says was | | the Philadelphia Record, A fresh wrap: per for the luncheon should also be used each day—a linen one is daintiest, to be sure—but if that is not tobe had then a } | whom the question was submitted, “I | traced | tresh square of cont | Japanese paper napkin d be used.

APoint of Dispute Between Mahom- etans and Buddhists, The many curious legends concerning Adam which have already been pub- lished in “Notes for the Curious,” says the St. Louis Republic, would lack in com pleteness were we to omit giving an account of the Mahometan superstitions regarding an impression, supposed to be a footprint, found in the solid rock on Adams’ peak, or Mount Samanala, a high mountain in Ceylon. Acecording to thoe Mahometan legend, Adam, after the fall and expulsion from the garden, was taken by an angel to the top of this mountain, where his mind’s eye saw a panorama of all the ills that should afftict mankind. These harrowing sights were such a wm{m on the man, who, notwithstanding hissin in the garden, was yet a good man, that his foot left its imprint on the solid rock; his tears form- ing alake, both the printandthe lake being still visible. The Buddhists have their own legend of the Sripada or Sacred Footprint, ac- cording to which Buddha, ascending to heaven, left the im pression where last he touched the earth on_the rocky sides of Samanala. The Brahmans also and the Chinese have their legends, and for more than two thousand years all have worshipedin their own way around the gigantic imprint. The footprint itself is five and one-half by two and one-half leet; the site in a rocky basin; much faith and & lively imaginition being nec- essary toaid one in discovering a very great likeness of the outlines to that of a human foot. To perform a pilgrimage to this shrine and tolay an offering upon it is to the Buddhist what a visit to Meccea s to a Mahometan, Tradition tells us that the iron ehains fastened in the rocksto give safetyto the pilgrims in erossing rocky canons nearthe Sacred Footprint were put there by Alexander the Great, ONLY )y OSIAL: CARD: With your name and address, mailed to the Bwift Specific Co,, Atlanta, Ga., I8 necessary to obtain an interesting treat- Ise onthe blood and the diseases incident BN SSS | Skin Exuption Cured.
