CANVASSING AS A BUSINESS* Ofl« Hundred Thouiand People Employed at It In Thl« Country. “ You often see advertisements for agents to sell one article or another promising $100 a week to a lively man, but there is no Buoh money id the busi­ ness,^’ said an old hand the other day. “ A clever, man can clear $25 a week as a traveling salesman or canvasser, if he has a reully first-rate thing to dispose' o f; but that is about the limit. “Of course, I am not speaking of the regularly employed commission agents who drum for large houses and often get big salaries, but of the army of peo­ ple, probably 1Q0,000strong, who spread themselves from the big cities all over the United States in pursuit of orders fox- everything under the sun that is marketable, from a subscription book to a patent instantaneous mustard plaster. “Of that number 50,000 are book agents. It is that line which Is chiefly1 affected by women,- who do not hesi­ tate to employ all the persuasions of their sex in the pursuitof their industry. Opposed to them the male book agent is at, a disadvantage, having neither smiles nor tears that would be effect­ ive wherewith to' extort a subscription from the unwilling customer. Besides, a womatrtSTiot likely to be kicked out or to have a dog set upon her. ‘ ‘Undoubtedly the modest sex isthat in1petticoats, but when it comes to sell­ ing books a woman can usually dis­ count a man every time. Why, I know two in this very town who do notheai- tate to go to receptions at private houses unasked and tackle any one with whom they may get into converse - tion, drawing from beneath their cloaks whatever volume they may b&engaged in trying to circulate. “One advantage only that I know of is possessed by the male book agent ' which his female rival does not possess, and that is his opportunity of exercis­ ing his fascination upon tho servant women wherever he goes, who are very much addicted to buying books in that way. “ Inthe trade there is & distinction made between the salesman and the canvasser, the former selling at whole­ sale usually and the latter at retail, A traveling agent sells either on tho in­ stallment plan or for cash, or both ways. ' On cash sales he gets forty per cent, of the proceeds as his commission; if he sells on the installment plan, by which the purchaser pays so much on what lie buys, he receives twenty per cent, when the order for tho article ,is delivered by him to the firm which em­ ploys him. Goods are sent him c. o. d. for cash purchasers; the agent returns the full amount he receives, and out of that is given liis commission. “ Agents are not allowed to sell goods for less than the priceB Indicated on the lists of the firm, though they are per­ mitted by some concerns to soli for more, if they can. “ Next to book agents, canvassers for patented articles are most numerous, and this sort of canvassing has increased very largely within recent years. Tea, e iffec, silverware and pictures are ex­ tensively sold in the same manner. “ Female canvassers confine them­ selves almost wholly to light literature, such ns novels or books of poemB, pho­ tograph albums, corsets, silver ware mid dressmaking charts. “ Yes, we. lose a good deal of money by the dishonesty of people who buy on the installment plan and do not pay. I suppose that we have toputdown seven or eight per cent, of our sales on that basis os dead loss, but we are recon­ ciled to it by the fact that wo charge more for the goods when cash is not paid—enough additional, in fact, to re­ coup ns. We Can afford, therefore, to take chances. Installment buyers are notoriously slow anddelinquentln their payments, but mild threats, judiciously formulated, usually fetch the money where nothing else will Bervc.”—Wash­ ington Star. Trooldcmnni, Cracked Silver Coin*, The stumping machines at the gov­ ernmentmints, embodying as they do all the best inventions obtainable, yet do not do their work with absolute per­ fection in every instance. Occasionally a silver dollar Is turned out with a trillingdefect and then the coin gener­ ally causes-more trouble, many times over, tlwin it is worth.

N-now, and spill’ my—things!” “Oh,” said Mac, “down there in the path, eh? That’s bad. But it’s getting dark, and I couldn’t see very well here, in the woods.” She peeked up at him, pouting, tho tears still standing in her eyes. Then she fell to twisting her apron, but deigned no further recognition of his penitence. “ You’re a very--pretty little girl,'* said Mac, with as muoh tact astrutb. “ I have a little girl at home.!’ No answer. ‘ ‘Her name’s Mary,” ■he continued. “ She’s five years old. Now, what’s your name?” She looked up again and then grew absorbed once more in twisting her apron. ,“ What’s your name?” Stilt no answer. • “ Is it Peggy?” “No," defiantly; “ it ain’t.’! “ Is it Sarah Ann?" “ ’Course I ain’t named that.” “ Well, is it----- " “ Name Mary,” she informed him, with great dignity, ‘ ‘Peggy irunned away las’ week—that's When the ole Yankees corned.” “ Oh," said Mac; “ and your name’s Mary? Well, well, welll” “ And Pomp hid everything,” she con­ tinued, growing communicative and looking up into his face, “ ’cause the ole Yankees come. Bight there.” . “ Whew!” whistled Mac, and laughed loud and long. He laughed until the tears rolled down his face. The more he thought of it the funnier it seemed. “ In that stump, oh? Well!"—ho came very near going into another spasm of laughter, but didn’t-—quite. “ Humph, wall.” “ Tnin’t funny,” she said sharply. “ Well!”—checking another outburst and feigning an apology—“ well, I guess you arc r:ght; but how did you know it wos there?” “ See mamma and Pomp," she said, “ and Pomp put all muinmu's money in there, and papa’s an* all of ns, in there —Pomp did. ’Cause it’s a hollow stump an’ tlioy’s a big hole in there." Mac laughed thoughtfully. “ Miss Mary,” he said, seriously, "you ought to bo at home right now,” " I ’so lost,” she ventured, tearfully, “ I knotv it,” ho luughed, “ and 1 am, too. Let's see, do you know which way your home is from here?” “ Up town," hopefully. “ An’ there’s some so’diers up town.” "That’s the trouble,” said Mac, grim­ ly. “ Well, I’ll carry you as far as 1 can.

Put down that gun.” “ You hush,” said the little one, re­ senting the peremptory tone of the Yan- kee scout. “ Pomp’s our man; Pomp’s ain’t yonr man.” “ No, Mars’tiin'l," said Pomp, humbly lowering' the hammer of his long squir­ rel rifle; ’ ‘I wuz trying not to shoot you.

John W, y ’oodward relates a hu­ morous story of' the effect upon anlrisli sentry of a few words from President Lincoln, aeeWHpariied with a - small gratuity. . Patrick had a spotless mili­ tary record, as far as it-',went. Ho had really seen some service and had been wounded, invalided and sent among the convalescents to do guard duty at Wash­ ington till he should be able to go back to the front. ' He was inarching up and down in front of the war deportment when the colonel found him, and said: “ By the way, Patrick, you know you must present •arms to the president.” “ To the prizzidlnt, is it? an’ how'wiU I know him itself?" Tlje colonel tried to describe Mr. Lin­ coln, and Patrick looked grim. “ Sure I'll present arms fast enough if I know him,” said the sentry, and with that assurance the colonel had to • leave him. Looking froianthe window u few minutes later he saw the president pass Patrick, who took no notice of .him Whatever; nor did Mr. Lincoln show that he noticed the sentry. After he had gone in, Woodward went down to the Irishman, and said: “ Why, Pat­ rick, you forgot after all to present arms to the president.” . “ The prizzidint, is it?” exclaimed the sentry, “ was he passing me?” “ He passed youbuta moment ago.” “ Is it the, prizzidint? Sure I see: many a man gain’ in, but nobody th: looked like a prizzidint” , , “ Well, Patrick,' when he comes oi I’ll follow him and give you a nod. a: then you’ll know him.” “ The .saints be about yer Honor; it] the rale gintleman' ye are entirely] said the grateful soldier; and accorf' ly when Mr. Lincoln left the war partraent the colonel followed him gave Patrick the signal for which had been religiously on the watch, aj on receipt of which he put himself position and presented arms so osten tlously that Mr. Lincoln neurly ran inlo him, and then with his usual goodna­ ture stopped to speak with' him, askejd about his home in “ Injennny,” his wife and the gossoons, and slipped a re­ membrancer into his hand as he walked IN.

IMS.—Boston Budget, A Claw or Women Who Battle Agahwt Odds ghat Would powu a Wun Every Time. A woman commits no greatermistake in this world than to believe that the wealthy women o f our landlead useless liv#s. Some lead a busy existence com-- pared to which that of her humble sis­ ter is a luxury of rest and leisure. Their work is done where you do not see it, my dear general woman, but it is.’done, well and nobly done. Their lives are not given over to social pleas­ ures as you might be led to suppose from reading about them in the papers. Their stations in .life demand o f them certain, social duties; and when they fulfill these demands they are given prominence in the public prints, and you read about them. But behind the social figures are the women—ah God-fearing, as gentle, as sympathetic and as womanly, as those members, of their sex who give over their entire life to the welfare of their fellow beings, From their homeB go out blessings to thousands, of which the world never hears. The noblest deeds done in this world are the quiet charities, and many of the wealthy women are quiet, minis*- tering. angels, whose right hands/never know what their left ones do. There arc wealthy women, in New York who, more often than the world know* of,:, go out in their.carriages, not for pleas­ ure drives, but on errands of mercy, and who strew seeds of charity inmany a barren place. Do not accuse me o f spealcingof generalities wbcn.1 say this, Again and again have I been placed in positions where I have watched their quiet workings,' and seen the -open- lieartedness and genuine pleasure with which they dispense. of that store of worldly riches which has eomc to them in such generous measure. There are, few words, however, to be said on the other hand. It is a common, mistake among many who live for the good of others, and have the whertf- withall to make this life, happier and brighter for many a sorrowing one, that the great privations of this world are only suffered by those in sheer want and poverty. The very poor have their needs, and a multiplicity of them, and -blessings be upon those who seek to al­ leviate them. But there is a certain class of women in this world for whom <nn all-sufficient amount of sympathy is felt. I refer to that vast army of wom­ en with whom life' is a daily battle. Somewhere in our small villages, oft- times in the nooks and corners of our great cities, these women endure untold heart-breaks and liend-worriea " Their brains reel under the great problem, which comes back day by day, of how to make $1 <lo the work of 82. You, my fuvored woman of comfort and. easy purse, can form no idea of what that daily, battle means. . There a r c ,thou- jifAulu of women to-day throughout this ^country who, although the world will never hear of them; are living heroines, who Will go uncrowned until the laurel vroath of God’s own reward is placed ion their brows. They aro women wfta with im income of five or six liun- dreaVdolliqk per year, and often less, are going through daily privations as keen ns the blade of a knife so that their homes-may be bright to their hus­ bands, and food and clothing for the children he on hand when needed. These women, my friend, need a word of sympathy, a kindly pressure of the hand, a God-blcss-you from a sincere heart; yea, they need something .more. It is not money which these women ask or would receive. They are willing, yea, ready to labor for what is given them. Let a woman work as she may, hut if she Bees her efforts rewarded with nothing bnt adversity, if instead of go­ ing forward she secs herself and her family retreating month by months I tell yon it is enough to crush the best and strongest will. These, women o< whom I write arc not to be met Jn^the world. Dear souls, they have no time to go out except to the stores to buy their needs. They are the women who make their homes their battlefields. They are behind the sttong and sturdy men who work in the factory, the store, and in the office on ineager salaries. Not only must they keep up their own spirits, but often - their strong natures are drained to the dregs to give encour­ agement to their husbands. We men can speak of women as the weaker sex as mnch as we choose; hot I toll you, my male reader, there are struggles go­ ing on in this world borne bravely and heroically by Women, which we men Would have laid down long ago if they t -"-~ given y-t-te—TH**? -Ttnrtirn* Home ournal. WOMEN WHO REMAIN YOUNG. or Why It In They Never Seen! to Feet Rliov the Flight of Time, There, arc some Wdittcn who refuse to grow old, whoso spirits defy the' de­ stroying forces of time. They arc young not only to outward appearance, but aro youthful to the core; in direct contrast with that natural state that affects the girl, when heart and mind hold only the ashes of enthusiasm and purpose. The woman wlto will not or can not recognize the rights and the beauties of the autumn and winter o f life, and Who does not cheerfully If hot gracefully at* oept them in ker«owii experience U un­ true to the laws of her being.

People o f this sort seem, to observer^ to possess a dual nature,^ and to -own a peculiar charm on account of it. The woman who has a wealth of experience, apd at the seme time refuses to grow old is prized by both young and old as a companion. Tho kind of mysterious magic tliat she seems to have about her ' draws like a magnet, and brings the world to her feet. Especially do the young flock to her for help and sympathy. She has the strength that their inexperience craves, and the sweet persistent spirit of youth­ fulness that shs-'p?(3se»s5s bridges the' gut? of years. The hair may be snowy, the eyes may have loBt their brilliancy, the shadow of sorrow may be discerned' ovo'r the brdw, yet the conquering spirit has set its seal above all tho Bignsd! physical defeat, and proclaims the vic­ tory thus of mind and heart over tho laws of nature, or rather glorifies their essential meaning. But there are some who stand before such a condition in a critical manner; indeed many seem to regard such a .woman as working through a kind of black art, and as influencing her admir­ ers by the, force of its dark secrets. Such' judges are always of the sort who can have no patience with those evi­ dences of miracles that aro worked in the u n s e e n m i a ^ - a n d •heart; fthey arc sure to. make this ibis- take that women of rules and grooves easily fall into—that the phenomena is the result of little tricks. The mere lhcsmorist has tried to get at thesecret, and in an unguarded moment the eyes, the lips, the gesture lias betrayed her; and she has lost all. But how can this youthfulness that shall become immortal in a .woman be gained? asks one. Ah, here is the question! IloW much mioney and 'time and strength have been spent to dis­ cover tho secret of prolonged youthful- ncss! The nostrum vender^ have flour­ ished like green bay trees on account of this search, when close to tjhe individual lay the means that offered itself to­ wards the desired end;, in such a simple form, however; that it was not recog­ nized at all, or if noticed spurned as in­ adequate to the great result. The wom­ an who has searched through the social avenues for help must unlearn evety thing. She must, in short, give herself to gaiA 7ierse{f, lor the great secret of this womanly charm that compels wor­ shipers is thatr rare sympathy can forget private interest and pat itself into the experience o f another.

The friend with an experience who yet remembors with a thrill her own early dreams can help the young girl to un outlook that will enable her to receive these enchanted Visions through a true light.—Christian at Work. Wlmt an American Girl Needs. What an American girl needs most is good health. If she has that she is blessed far beyond those who have ac-' compHsluncnts by the score. She should, above all things else, he allow­ ed to grow up with her womanly in­ stincts unimpaired, for upon them, rather than upon her training, will her happiness and success in life depend. Let her nurse dolls, make clothes for them, build piny houses, make mudpies and romp with the boys. As she grows up encourage her to make clothes for herself as well as for her dolls, and to bake pics of dough instead of mud. If she shows a taste for needle work don’t discourage licr, because her knowledge will not detract from her social qual­ ities. If of a domestic turn encourage her in it by allowing her to have charge of certain branches of housework.
