a' the hospital. Malting herself

"Well, girls, 1 hone you received
cards to my -reception?"
Smiles and acknowledgments answer-
ed la the affirmative, and Mrs. Z. went
on complacently:
"Indeed, I was only too glad to re-
member you all. Iappreciate how much
work sad how little play you girls
have, andl thought you would enjoy a
little glimpse of society fun."
"No doubt of it, Mrs. Z.," one of
the nurses spoke up, "but none of us
are likery to have gowns suitable to
wear it such a function."
"Oh, that need not trouble you in
the least," retirned the Einlilil3g Mrs..
Z. "Now, my idea is this. Of course I
understand you have no evening gowns
and that you know Very few society
people, but these facts must not inter-
tate.vrith your getting a peep at my
gnests and eating some of my supper. I
thought the whole thing would be sim-
plified if you all came in your 'pretty
uniformand cans and took up your
stations in the dressing rooms. You
would only have to assist the ladies
with their wraps, and you could see the
goLwnsto such good advantage, and"—
steals a chorus of indignant ex-
clamation rent the air at that juncture
'that Mrs. Z. 's sentence was never com-
pleted.
The social veneering must be thickly
- coated on Mrs. Z., for to this day she
does not seem to understand why die
nurses meet her advances with frigid
indifference and why her visits to the
hospital are no longer pleasant. —Wash-

MAKING PLATE GLASS.
An Operation Trait Requires a Deal of
011141, and Care.
.. A yleit to a plate glass works reveals
nothing perhaps more interesting thaa
the casting tables on which the heavy

stperintendent of a large factory, "are
the moot importantaltiseces of apParatus

"Ifiach 'table is about 20 feet long, 15
feetkaide and from 7 to 8 inches tlaick.
The heavy strips of iron on either side •
of the tables afford a bearing for tha
rollers and detertaine the thickness or
diameter of the glees to be cast.
"The rough plate is coramonly nine -
sixteenths of an inch thick, but after
polishing it is reduced to six or seven
sixteenths. All casting tables are mount-
ed 4onwheel5whioh.run on a track made
to reach every furnace an& annealing
oven in the factory. The' table having
been wheeled as near as posSible to the
melting furnace, a pot of Molten glass

contents poured quickly on the table.
"A heavy iron roller then 1)asses from
end to end, spreading the glass to a uni-

has to be done by expert hands quicklsa
as the boiling glia, when it comes `Vs

the annealing oven is opened and the
plate a glass is introduced.
"The flodr of the annealing oven is on
the same level as the heels of the cast-

The Neer Jersey 'Vote. '
be amendment to confer achodl suf-
frage on the women of New Jersey was
defeated by a majority of over 12,000.
The antigambling amendraent was de-
bated by over 8,000, easd another
'amendment was lost by only 848. This
/ate shows two thiags—trst, that the
suffrage amendment was defeated by
opposition and not by indifference mere-
ly; second, that it es.uld not carry even
the Tao of the moral element of the
state. New Jersey needs a good deal of
aducation.—Woman's Tribune.

An aristocratic costermonger is what
one would hardly expect to find in
Shoreditch, yet some years ago this was
a favorite character of Lord Lonsdale.
It was no unusual thing for this woe's -
trio nobleman to lay aside his dinner
dress and robe himself in the corduroys
and colored handkerchief of the coster,
and a capital costar he made, having a
pair of hangs like a couple of .foghorns
and a genius for acting the part which
was irresistible.—Lendon Answers.
Fountain pens are rather older than
most people iraagine. As long ago as
1824 they were in use, for in that year
Thomas Jefferson saw a contfivance of

what he is told. to do, so that, to our
mind, printer's ink—or advertising
isthe most efficient of all helps. . At

the highest salary.
.And now for -what we want to say
regarding the merits of quality as cone.
sidered in connection with price.
In the first place, there is nothing
that a man can buy, no matter what
the price may be, if the quality is not
right, it can not be- satisfactory to the
purchaser.
Before settling down to ihe subject
heading, quality vs. price, it might be
well to explain to the skeptical why
we think such an advertisement as this
of value, and whether it pays or loses.
NOVI we -certainly think that if paye,
otherwise we would not indulge, in so
costly a space.
• But, you ask, who pays for it ?
Does it not have to figure as part of
the expense of running our business?
And our answer is that it certainly
means expense, but, on the other hand,
because we. have no clerks to pay, be-
ing our own clerks, book-keepers, etc.,
where others pay money for clerks, we
pay it for printer's ink, and of all clerks
printer's ink is the cheapest, the most
faithful clerk that we can hire, and he,
is, but the good article pays in the long
So that again in returning to speak
of Overcoats and Suite, this weck we
• wish to emphasize the fact of our stock
of -good reliable qualities. .
Our businese began OD quality, it
rests on quality, and quality wi;l en-
sure its success in the future.
It is now but a very short while till
the Christmas season is upon us, and
among the many joys of that time,
there may be none more sincere than
the pleasure of a row of smiling, happy,
comfortably -dressed boys.
Your boys' require clothing, and you
will find if • to your advantage to
have them clothed here.
Thestyles depicted are Various' and
at the same time seronable andsen-
sible, they iepreee t cloths of all
shades and quatitice) the prices start
at $2, rangieg to $2.50, 3.00; 3.50,
4.00, 4.50, 6,00 and 5.50.
While talking about the boys' Suits,
/we mit -Mention our vast range of
cloths. We show a special at $3.90.
Regarding Overcoats, our advice is
that the purchase of a good. Coat, at
say $3.50 to $4.50, buying a good
large size, is the most economical way
of Overcoating boys. If you buy a
very cheap Overcoat, the boy batters it
out in a season; whereas if you 'buy
him a good one it will do for two or
three seasons at least.
Hence we make quality the first item
of cosideration in every sale,quality
first, price afterward, is the watchword
of our business.
Too cheap and article is:dear at any
price.
It may seem expensive to buy re-
liable quality, and for the time being it
