In a lnrxe number of st'orM tho
early morning hours nro devoted to
Instructing' new employes, nnd at this
timo cash girls and boys gather
around the inspector's desk, learning
to measure oil' goods, verify sale
Blips, wrap and tie tho parcels and
handle money sent to and from tho
cashier's desk.
A few firms conduct actual schools
for their younger employes, giving
instruction in the rudimentary
branches reading, writing, arithme
tic, language and geography thus
taking the place of night schools for
their girls and boys employed in tho
cash department or the stockrooms.
A number of well-known New York
firms in their establishments in Phil
adelphia, Chicago and New York of
fer this advantage for a few hours
daily, and find both boys and girls
most appreciative students, writes
Anna S. lliehardson, in Woman's
Home Companion.
If an employe is detained at homo
by illness or a death in his family, n
statement to this effect in writing
must be sent immediately to the of
fice. Failure to comply with this rulo
means that tho delinquent will bo
hauled before the superintendent on
his return to duty, aud an explana
tion will be demanded.
Many firms issuo to each employe
regular statements of the hitter's
standing, showing how his sales com
pare with others in his department
or class. These are much like report
cards at school.
If an employe is taken ill while at
work he reports to his iloor-wnlker,
and is released, tho time lost being
deducted from his pay check. An ex
ception to this general rule may be
noted at one of the mammoth New
York stores, where the firm and tho
Employe's association have jointly
established what is known as the
sickroom. An employe temporarily
indisposed may report to the physi
cian in charge, and if a brief rest and
the administration of simple remedies
prove efficacious ho takes possession
of one of the comfortable cots pro
vided for this purpose, and returns
to his duties when able, lie does
not lose this time. If the physician
pronounces him unable to work he is
supplied with medicine and ordered
home, his pay being docked in the
usual way. -Medical attention and
prescriptions arc gratis in cither
case.

After dinner one very disagreeable
night last week a certain Madison ave
nue physician, looking from his of
fice window and seeing the rain beat
against the glass, decided that he
would have a quiet, uninterrupted
evening at home, lie was soon in his
house coat, a novel in his hand, and
tobacco smoke was curling around
him. About ten o'clock some one rang
the doorbell.
'The doctor is wanted right away at
," began the caller.
"lie can't go, sir," answered the
servant, quickly. "He left word that
he was not well, and that unless it was
a case of life or death he would not
venture out."
"Well, you tell him he must come
over; we need him to sit in a poker
game."
"Oh, you're Mr. 15 , are you?
Step in please, and I'll see."
A minute later the servant reap
peared with: "The doctor says he'll
be right over." N. Y. Post

A Chicagoan had been taken around Bos
ton all day to observe her bulwarks, but had
failed to observe any of those symptoms of
paralysis which are acceptable to the 15o
tonian mind. "Now confess,' 'said the llos
tonian host, after the burden and' heat of
the day, "isn't llo-ston a unique town?"
"Unique," mused the westerner, "I believe
that word is derived from tfwo Latin words,
unus, one, and equs, horse. 1 think Boston
is a unique town. Chicago Chronicle.
