Iteal Salesmanship Is a Light That
Can’t Be Obscured.
The boss wants lookers, because he
knows the looker of today is the buyer
Of tomorrow and he wants to make
the lookers feel that his store is “the
best place to trade,” which is only an
other way of saying that It is the besf
place to do one’s looking. He also
knows that the looker of today can
sometimes be converted into a buyet
before the day is over. All he requires
to accomplish what /je desires is sales'
manshlp among his salespeople.
Does he get it? Not from all of
them. If he did there would be less
need for commissions to inquire labo
riously into the relation between shop
girls’ wages and shopgirls’ chastity,
for real salesmanship will get the
money wherever it is practiced and by
whomsoever it is practiced. Real sales
manship is one light that can’t be hid
den under a bushel. It’s a light that
can’t be obscured. It’s a light that
will shine above department heads and
floorwalkers and reach clear up to “the
old man” in his private office, if you
keep it burning long enough.
What is salesmanship? No one quite
knows. But if you will take care of
the lookers, if you will make all the
lookers pleasantly remember what you
showed them and how you showed it
to them when they were merely look
ing, you will have mastered one very
important branch of retail salesman
ship.—Collier’s Weekly.
SPEED OF GAME BIRDS.
The Hazel Hen Said to Be a Wonder fn
a Short Spurt.
What is the fastest game bird that
flies? Of course, in seeking an answer
to the question, as a writer in the
Scotsman points out, one must assume
equal conditions of atmosphere and
cause for flight, for all creatures, hu
man or other, seek their highest rate
of speed iinder the influence of fear.
A recent writer declares that In a
race of, say, 200 yards he would back
a bird which, though not found in Brit
ain, is indigenous to most of the rest of
Europe and is especially familiar in
Scandinavia—the hazel hen or geli-
notte.
Yet, curiously enough, this Is one of
the forest haunting birds which, like
the American “fool hen,” usually fly
up into a tree when flushed and, re
jecting further attempts at escape,
elect to be shot sitting, “But,” sayi3 the
writer referred to above, “on the rare
occasions (and that they are rare I
readily admit) w’hen one catches a geli-
notte in the open I have never seen
any bird fly so fast nor move Its wings
with such extraordinary rapidity.”
Next to it at any rate one must sure
ly place the teal, w'hich has a marvel
ous knack of getting under way quick
ly. Some experienced observers would
give the third place to a bluerock pig
eon—the wild, not the Hurllnghftn va
riety.
Inflammable Celluloid.
Celluloid, being flrst cousin of gun
cotton and closely related to nitro
glycerin, is highly inflammable aJd
should never be brought in close prox
imity to a flame. Celluloid is a com
pound of cellulose or vegetable fibrine,
reduced by acids to guncotton. Cellu
lose is found in all vegetable life, par
ticularly in young plants. It is a
starchlike substance. Cotton fiber is
principally cellulose. After the cotton
fiber is cleaned it is submerged In
acids, which quickly reduce it to cellu
lose In the form of a thick, pasty, semi
transparent mass. Camphor is added
further to thicken it, and the required
coloring matter is thoroughly mixed
in, after which the celluloid is molded
by heat and pressure into various use
ful and ornamental objects, such ad
combs, boxes, pins, paper cutters, or
naments, etc.—New York World.
Learn to Write Well.
First legibility, second sightlines»
should be the endeavor in handwriting
and let the “character” and the “indi
viduality” take care of themselves. If
you wish to devise a signature hard
to forge that is another thing, but
one’s everyday handwriting should be
plain and as good looking as one can
make it. The art of writing a neat
legible, well punctuated, correctly ex
pressed and spelled letter should be
long to every high school graduate,
much more to every college graduate,
and the thanks of the community are
due to those who are testing and try
ing to improve our methods of educa
tion; but they must remember chat the
letter style is properly more loose and
conversational than any other and
therefore should not be criticised in just
the same way.—Kate Upson Clark in
Leslie’s.
Within the Law.
A. real negro mammy of the old type
came up the walk through the old fash
ioned garden to the side porch. She
had a basket of “fresh aigs” on her
arm and was offering them for sala
“Are you sure they are perfectly
fresh, auntie?” asked the lady who
came out of the house.
“Yes’um, they sho is all right. Miss
Bess. Ain’t nary disorderly aig amongst
’em.”—New York Post.
Exclusiveness.
The pinhead puts a barbed wire
fence around himself because he in
stinctively knows he’s a fourflusher
and is afraid you’ll find It out If you
get too close.—Indianapolis Star.
