Only and if we art permitted to remain with you until

and t ;ing up nuie goods for a dollar than any house in

In loin t ash business it enables us to sell goods as

We have no rent to pay, which always has

HOW TO KEEP WARM.
Vlrlun mttl (utl of Hut Air*
Wilvr irntl Mottiu for tluusellvatlug.
Once upou a time high tempo nit ur*
nil that }ieo} ltk rtijulretl from tlu
ttysteina uw'd iu heating their houses
but yotxl, wholesome uir is now th«
wain feature. The physicians have edu-
cated the people to understand that hot
rooms are not conducive to good health,
and ti ley have caused the mean tempera-
ture of the average dwelling house to
fall several degrees in the last few
years.
Much was cxjHJcted in the way of elec-
tricity for heating purposes, but as yet
it has not justified anticipations •'Elec-
tricity may become a rival to steam, hot
air and hot water some clay," said an
expert in the heating business, "hut tin
day is not yet in sight. Up to the pres-
ent time electricity has been used with
success only in heating trolley cars. A
heating arrangement is placed under
the car seats, from which enough heat
radiates to keep the car comfortable in
cold weather. The heater is a simple
thing, consisting only of bars of metal,
which are. heated to a high degree by
having tun electric current passed
through them. The expense to the trol-
ley companies is comparatively small
because they have the electric plant, and
to produce the additional power they
only require a little more fuel, but il
plant had to be provided to make tlu
heat, it would be un expensive luxury.
The real competition in house-heating
lies between hot air, steam and hot
water.
The hot-air furnace continues in high
favor, and dealers say that the sales have
been larger thin year than ever before
The furnaces of the latest patterns arc
superior in many respects to any that
have ever been placed on the market
and expert mechanics are continually
devising new methods to lessen the
objections to the furnace heat. "It is
bound to remain the most popular/' a
dealer said, "because it s the least ex-
pensive, and people will overlook a lit
tie dust and a little bad air once in
awhile if they know they are saving
money."
It is est imated that a steam plant costs
about twice as much as a hot-air plant,
and that to heat a house by hot water,
a plant must be put up which will cost
about 20 per cent, more than the one
for steam. The same calculation makes
the fuel for the hot-air plant the most
expensive, that for steam 25 per cent,
less, and for the hot water system
25 per cent, less than steam.
Large buildings w ill cont inue to use
steam until some system less expensive
can be devised, and when it is taken into
consideration that most of the. heat in
the large office buildings and factories
is furnished by exhaust steam, it is
easy to understand that to furnish a
cheaper system is a difficult task.
Many new houses are also being fitted
with stenm-heating plants, but where
the cost is not taken into consideration
and w here the matter of space does not
play an important part, hot water is
being used. The advocates of the sys-
tem say that, it is less complicated and
that when people know that the fear
of explosions is absolutely groundless,
more houses will be equipped with the
hot-water beating system.
"In speaking of heating, gas should
not be overlooked," said the expert.
"It does not tfid for first place, because
it is too dear and because it will not till
the bill, but the gas log for use in mild
weather to take the chill off the room
nnd to give a touch of 'make-believe
comfort' to a cheerless flat has come t<
stay."- N. V. Tribune.

A Convenient Aaricty Th;it Will Permit
Old Footwear to Bo Worn Out.
Women will have n chance to wear nut
their old shoes this winter, nt least so
far as the fashion is concerned. There
the most convenient variety in the
foot-wear shown now. You will find
little of everything in the windows,
piecadiilys and round toes and square
and New York toes; spring heels,
military heels, common sense heels and
LouisXV. heels; lace and buttons; calf-
skin and French kid. Everything goes
There seems to he a little preference
in certain directions, however. The
majority of winter shoes have pointed
but not of the sharpest variety,
rhev are not pretty. They have the air
f having started out to be a round toe
and of having suddenly concluded tc
be. pointed. This causes an awkward-
s of outline which, however, may be
compensated by an int rease of comfort.
Tan shoes are still very much in evi
dence in the windows, but women do
not seem to take kindly to them for
autumn and winter wear. Calfskin is
the favorite material for heavy shoes.
In dress shoes a, good many cloth tops
shown, and one Fifth avenue firm
displays high dress shoes with steel
bead embroidery on the toes. Slippers
are of all materials, apparently, and
they all have bows on them. These
bows are, in many eases, of satin rib-
bon to match the gown. Sometimes
they are merely butterflies of satin,
spangled with gold and silver. The pins
and buckles vised with these bows are
of clear nnd colored rhinestoines, cut
steel, gold and silvei.
Riding boots have broad, plain tops,
minus the wrinkles that formerly
characterized them. Bicycle boots are
now a.s regular a feature of stock as
thev once were unknown. They are
shown in the same, styles which pre-
vailed during the summer, with the ad-
dition of a heavier one in calf.—N. Y.

Cheerful l'eople.
One is always refreshed by the pres
?nee of cheerful people. The thought
ought to tench us a salutary lesson, to
be always cheerful ourselves. The
cheery person, who has a pleasant
smile for all, a genial word fur every
icquaintance, a happy expression for
the world, is the person whose compan-
ionship is sought, v ^ose presence is
Indispensable at a pa tt nner, and

ENGLISH PROVINCIALS.
font ratted Trull* In the Surth *H<! Iht
south of laigUtttl.
The series of papers w hich the Timet
recently l>egun to publish upon tin
characteristic* that distinguish tlu
north and couth of Kngland i.s so inter
esting, a* well acamusing, that we hope
wh< n it is completed we shall hove an-
other describing the s|w*c alties of the
Kast Anglian, the western man, and
above all, the man of the Midlands ami
the Londoner, in aome ways, the most
separate of them all. Ow ing. partly, wv
fancy, to accident, and partly to thai
marked ©position between their poll*
tii s, the contrast between the northern
man, and especially the ^ orkshire man, I
\r Ith htm ci If aclNrtton, hie indtpi •
deuce and his republicanism, and tie*
man of the south, with his comparati\e I
smoothness, his readiness to obey w hen
he is 1*1 and his tendency to untruth,
has struck the genenil imagination,
The intense self-esteem of the north-
ern, especially as to his own virtues, his
consciousness of his ego ami his raci«
ness of speech, arising from ljis care-
lessness of giving offense, his general
masterfulness, in fact, ha\e increased
^iis perception until it has gradual'y
pervaded all literature, and men who
never consciously spoke to a northern
accept John Rrowdic as typical, which
he is, though only of the good side of
his countrymen. The real John Tlrowdie
has a grand difficulty in forgiving, is
apt when he encounters a stranger
mentally to smell him as a dog does he-
fore he will accord him amity, and, lik<
the Scotchman, whom he is in some
ways so unlike, never quite forgives
him for not having beenl orn north of
the Trent. The best description of him
in literature is perhaps Currer Bell's
Mr. Yorke.
The southerner is far less dominant
though he has a tenacity of his own;
his hatred is perhaps meaner, but less
vindictive, as if his memory were not
quite so perfect, and he has much less
felicity in expressing himself, being c^
sentiallv, we fancy though, curiously
enough, this is not apparent in litera-
ture a less humorous man. Charles
Dickens, the greatest of modern Eng-
lish humorists, was essentially, by
birth and mental habitude, of the south
Even in his religion there is a differ-
ence, the northerner inclining to a ve-
hement Protestantism, the southerner
when not partly Celtic, being either a
strongly convinced but not vehement
professor or deeply tinctured with
secularist, indifference. In intellectual
ability there i.s little to choose between
them, nor, curiously enough, in the bad
peculiarity of cunning or the good pe-
culiarity of adroitness. But. the north-
erner is, if we omit the Londoner for a
moment from the calculation, decided-
ly the. more efficient man, partly, nr
doubt, because of his dominance, effi-
ciency depending mainly on the power
of securing obedience, but portly also
because he cannot bear the sense, even
to himself, of not doing his work well.
The southerner is more content to be
just as efficient, as circumstances re-
quire, being it. disposition, though not
always in fact, comparatively a lazy
being. A world of Yorkshiremen would
not be a pleasant world, or of Wiltshire
men a stirring ome.
Dr. .Tessopp, who knows them well,
implies in all his writings that the na-
tives of East Anglia ^re on the whole
the worst product among the men ot
England, and in some respects his judg-
ment cannot be honestly gainsaid.
Without the burly independence of the
northerner or the smoothness of the
southern man, the typical East Anglian
tends to be, like his Saxon and Danish
ancestor, a boor, with a vein in him of
acridity, often improving into a keen-
ness rather too self-regardant though
selfishness, in sooth, 's of no county—
and as often degenerating into habitual
spitefulness. Tie would not 44 'cave 'arf
a brick" at the stranger for the world,
nor walk ten yards to put him in his
way. He dislikes humor, particularly
farcical humor, which he characterizes
as "jeerin* " and "fleerin\" nnd has in
him a vein of querulonsness. which in
Suffolk is so strong as to impart a spe-
cial tone to his voice, which in. the real
people tends to he the shrill voice of the
natural virago.—London Spectator.

Cat That W «t r8 Spectacle*.
Miss Thompson, an estimable San
Francisco woman, is very fond of her
malte.se cat. Max, a handsome speci-
men of his race, and probably tlu* only
cat in the world that wears spectacles.
Max has been the property of his pres-
ent mistress for many years, and she
saysshehas found him a most invaluable
possession, besides being a loving little
companion in her loneliness. A few
months ago, much to her distress,
Miss Thompson discovered that Max
was losing his eyesight, so she carried
him to a well-known oculist to be treat-
ed. At first the man of science refused
to make, the experiment, scarce know-
ing how to begin, but at Miss Thomp-
son's suggestion he secured a line and
the picture of a mouse, and by holding
these alternately and at varying dis-
tances before Max, was finally enabled
to test his eyes quite thoroughly. Aft^r
the necessary treatment the doctor tit-
ted Max with a pair of glasses, the gold
frames having to be made to order, of
course, and now the big cat looks as
wise as the proverbial owl with double
eyes, and, Miss Thompson declares, is as
good a.s new again.—Chicago C hronicle.

She was a pretty young Sunday-
school-teacher. The lesson for the day
had been finished early, and, like the
model teacher that she was, she had
gathered her class of little girls about
aer and they were telling her about theit
outside lives and interest.
"And how old is your brother?" she
asked of the little lady who had been
relating her family history, the teacher
picturing to herself as she did so a small
baby in arms.
"Why," she replied, as she drew her-
self up with dignity, a reproving tone in
her voice, "why, he's a young man."
And the young teacher felt properly re-
buked.— N. Y. Times.
