Sold by F. G. Fricke & Co I Uoit tlie Custom First Came About Men XVlut Make n Itnnlneu of It The Way Some of Tlicm Do It Windows to At tract Men mm Well as Women. Window dressing ia something of a fine art nowadays. The times cause it to bo so. Ho who lias the most attractive window is making the most sales. Each merchant attempts to outdisplay the other, and in the great retail emporiums the jiosilion of window dresser is among the best in the house. For the expert in this sort of work is rarely to be met with. He must lo an artist, a mechanic, and well versed in colors and BtuiFs. Art window dressing in thi3 country never bad a beginning. It is simply a growth, the outcome of a struggle for novelty and to excel one's neighbor and competitor. A few years ago there were in New York city but three or four largo dry goods houses. These had the name, the fame and the- trade. Then there were hundreds of small stores and shops. For the advancement of any one of these the public eye must be alt racted to it. And it was very largely window display that accomplished this, that built up rivals to the old establishments, who had attempted little of that sort of thing. At first in these small simps it was some clever and artistically inclined man from behind the counter who siient a part of hi time i:i nrranri:i'' the window. As the business grew the whidow be came the more important, and in the newer and larger stores of tho new con cerns entering with success into compe tition with tho old . e;;t;iMis!imen!s, win tit.ws were buiit specifically for show purposes, and window dressing became a department of itself. Window dress ers began to be sent for from London and Paris, but the most of them com menced behind the counter, and in nil thfir window work have kept pace in their ideas with the growing demands of their concerns. Some say that there are only a dozen first class window dressers both in New York and Brook lyn; others claim that there are not half that number. Just what constitutes good window dressing it is cliflicult to lind out, unless it is simply tho power of attracting tho public eye. Professional jealousy seems to bo largely in existence about another man's possession of that power. "I can't explain how I dress a win dow," said one of the best of tho craft the other day; "my experience tells me how to display goods and get certain effects, and that is all there is of it. There are no rules about it, although a a window dresser told mo once you could leam it all out of a book. But you can't. It is a matter of long experience. By study and practice you gain ideas to be followed out. Of course, you must know how to put colors and stuffs together. All the really good men at it have been in tho business fifteen or twenty years, abroad and bore; a man must have it in him at tho start, and then he must begin as a boy. lie should have been Ixdiiud the counter, and know just how to han dle and display goods. But there's no rule about it. Every man in the busi ness goes to work differently." In most of the large stores tho win dow dresser is autocrat in his depart ment, ana nas ins own private room Tor the keeping of his framework and mate rials. In Brooklyn this is especially the case. There the stores are newer, tho windows larger, and tho display in gen eral more elaborate. In tho window dresser's room of a store which displays picture designs as well ti3 goods, there is much to bo seen. A carpenter's bench for ho is his own carpenter frame work of wood, pastel)oard and brass everywhere, standards for tho drap?ng of dress goods, drawers and cabinets full of stuffs, men's clothing and wax heads. In tho making up of "dummies" used only tho heads aro bought, and a stock of those are accumulated. The bodies unclothed aro curious af fairs a wooden frame 2xl feet square and a couple of inches thick, slightly stuffed and covered with white cloth, with two sticks to servo as lower limbs and entirely without upper ones; a short pieco of woo l upon which tho waxen head and neck is placed. Upon this framework is the figure, by a judicious studing, built. "We fit tho man to tho clothes," remarked aj loer of it, "not the Clothes tot'v irV'l) " ' ; ;;:?.:; ; woman's figure no actually made dresses are used. A consultation with the head of the dressmaking department deter mines just what patterns shall be shown. Dress le::gth:i of those are-cut out and draped upon the forms. Thus even the g.iods worn by tho lay figures may be sold directly fiom the window, and it often happens that a buyer will want just exactly what she had seen there. There are twosciiot.! : of window dress ing. One believes it:: object merely the displaying f the goods t!iei.;;.e ves, the other the atti ivt ing of ntU i.t ion to the concern, 'i ho latter chit;-; are those who make use of pk'ictv designs and wax figure:--.. "A dainty display of goods," tliov s ;y, "a clever blending of colors, will ipiickly catch a woman's eye. Put the average man wiil never give it a mo ment's look. Mow our windows are to attract everybody. Put in it a group, a figure, an odd design, and the men wiil lake immediate notice of it. The goods will In displayed sill the same. Now, a man going Lome from his business catches a glimpse of our store front. As lie sits down to the lea table he says to his wife, 'Have you seen that new group in '6 window? It is so and so.' There are no doubt a good many mar ried women about the city who haven't seen that window. Some of these, we calculate, will come to the store the next morning. Had there been merely an ar rangement of silks or ribbons, the man would hardly have given it a glance and never a second thought. "It is not good," say the experts, "to ticket that is, price mark goods in the window. It is too common, they say. Tho arrangement there is calculated to be so very attractive that should any thing strike the fancy of the passing wo man, she is bound to come in and ask the salesman, "How much is that a yard?''

Ab, dear; it will bo a long time before we can civilize all these heathen. They have su?h queer, old fashioned notions about busi ness. However, lest the heathen should be exautetl above measure when they get this copy of this paper and read this flattering paragraph, let us add, for their edifloatkm, that the only coin of China is the "cash," that it takes 1,500 cash to make a dollar, and that tho ignoble, little minded, Email souled, greedy heathen actually counterfeit the "cash."

It is not generally known that the term "lynch law" originated in Camp bell county, Va., before the revohtti.m ory war. At that period tho country was thinly settled and was infested v. fth Tories and desperadoes too many of tiicm, apparently, for tho local author ities to adequately punish. Col. Charles Lynch, a distinguished ofiicer of the revolutionary army, undertook to rid his country of the outlaws, lie organ ized a force, arrested the outlaws, and having satisfied himself and comrades of the guilt of the accused, executed them without reference to the constituted au thorities. While not altogether approv ing of the desperate remedy for a des perate cause, the beneficial cllcd of Col. Lynch's action was recognized, and has since been known as "Lynch'a law" or "Lynch law." Lynch's process of meting out speedy justice extended to other parts of the country, and is a well reeo-iidr.od L.rm of redress of grievances today, particu larly for that class of oiFensts that are popularly believed not to be adequately punished by lh statutes and courts of the state. Col. Lynch's brother gave his name to Lynchburg, and left a son who was subsequently governor cd Louisiana. Pittsburg Dispatch. An Kui-Iy 33 ill.

The early settlers in western New York when they owned a few tlaves, which someof them did, employed them in this drudgery, hence tho process was vulgarly termed "niggering corn." Peo plo of humanity in our time would not be guilty of using such an expression as this. No one thing shows tho general moral advance of the American people more strongly than their treatment of and increased consideration fur the humbler classes among them.
