WONDERFUL TALES.
Of the Big Department Stores-Single
Day's Transactions.
If the counters in Chicago's largest
department store were placed end to
end tliey would make a causeaway sis
miles long. Were the delivery wagons
and teams of this institution drawn up
iv marching order they would com
pletely surround an entire city square.
A careful estimate of the number of
persons entering this place during its
banner day of trade is 285,090. This
means, roughly speakinfr, that the
crowd which passed under this roof on
a single day's traffic more than equaled
the entire population of Louisville,
Minneapolis or Jersey City, none of
which is credited with more than '20,-
-000 inhabitants.
The average fore? of employes main
tained by au institution of this size is
about 3,84 ft, but the brigade is increns
ed to -1,000 to meet the demands of a
prosperous hoiida} trade.
Au ingenious and interesting method
of placing the magnitude of this estab
lishment within thegrasp of the reatier
is to compare its trade with the total
retal tratlic of a provincial eiiy or town.
A comparison of this kind indicates
that, according to the normal distribu
tion of trade, the business transacted
by the largest department store of the
West would equal all the retail traffic
done by a city of about 80,000 inhabi
tants.
Another way of bringing the bigness
of the department store within the
realization of the reader is by refereuce
to the size of its purchases. One store
in Chicago bought in one bill a stock
of granite kitchenware which iiled sev
enteen cars that were made up into a
special train. Another of these great
institutions bought atrainloadof shirt
waists ou a single order. Books are
handled in quantities which are almost
beyond comprehension. One depart
ment store bought in one invoice 100.
--000 volumes of standard works of fic
tion—and sold them, too. It is not
unusual for any of these great concerns
to place a single import order for $50,
--000 worth of goods, and often this is
far exceeded.
In almost any line of staple goods the
volume of a day's sales in a metropoli
tan department store is well calculated
to test the credulity of the uninitiated,
Think of retailing more than twenty
tons of sugar in one department in a
single day. This record, however, has
been made, and the sales were mainly
in "dollar lots." The physical task of
handling and weighing up this quanti
ty of sugar in comparatively small
packages is tiresome to contemplate, '
and it would have been scarcely poe- '
aible had it not been for the great au- '
tomatic scales with which the sugar
department is equipped. Suppose the '
rate at which this staple is retailed to
be nineteen pounds for fl. The scales '
are adjusted at that weight. The clerk
presses a button and a volume of sugar
weighing exactly nineteen pounds is \
dropped into a paper bag below the
spout leading from the hopper. When
the grocery department of a big store (
like the leading ones of jSiew York and
Chicago institutes a special sale of
hams it is not unusual to dispose of 5,
--000 of them in a day.—H. N. Higin- (

Pet Animals.
It bas sometimes been argued that
s the keeping of pet animals is one way
to develop the humane instincts of peo
ple in general. Like othei practices,
however, this one is good only when It
jis not abused, as it frequently is.
I When one considers the n*nmber ot
| miserable little beasts yearly trapped,
captured, and bred in cages for the
amusement of mankind, it seems as if
, some better method of amusement
might be devised. *
Of course, there are people who niaKe
friends and companions of their pets,
aud although uobody can be absolute
ly certain about animal psyleoiogy, it
may be that the dog, horse or bird de
rives an amount of pleasure front con
tact With the superior mind which
more than repays the loss of freedom.
Iv the case of a highly bred dog 01 a
Saddle horse it is almost certain that
this is so. But these are in the niiuor
uy when the whole number of domes
ticated animals is considered.
In the first place, it is certainty
cruelty to take a wild creature out of
its natural enivronmeiit and place It
in a cage where it can haye little ex
ercise, no natural companionship,
and often no suitable food. It is en
tirely possible for people living in a
country town or small village to tame
squirrels, birds and other wild things
without in the least interfering with
their freedom, if they choose to use a
little patience. Host wild animals will
come where they are not afraid of be
ing hurt. The red squirrel can be coax
ed to coma from his hole and eat corn
from the hand of a human being, aud
birds of all kinds are easily tamed in
the same way. Oue who has once en
joyed the delight of winning the con
fidence of the wood folk will never
again wish to keep any of them in a
cage.
The animal which is bred for his pur
pose of domestication, like the lap-dog,
the persian cat, the white mouse, or the
canary, is usually inferior in Intelli
gence to the wild animal, for the very
good reason that It does not need as
much brains to be fed, petted and put
to sleep as to get one's living in the
midst of a throng of enemies. There
are two ways, however, in which the
keeping of these auimals can be made
really beueficial to children and adults;
one is by making companions of them,
developing all the intelligence they
have, and the other is by choosing pets
of a sort whose intelligence is already
considerable. Children should be en- '
couraged to be kind to their pets aud '
to make friends with them, and this '
cannot be done unless there is intelli
gence on the other side. If the com- 1
fort and well-being of the animal is '
studied it will be good for tha master
as well as the pet, for altruism general
ly works in that way, but candor will '
compel most people to admit that '
nothing of the kind is usually done.
"Cleanliness is next to godliness."
Dirt and depravity go hand to hand.
This is just as true of the inside of the
body as the outside. Constipation
clogs the body and clouds the mind.
Constipation means that corruption is
breeding in the body, poisoning the
blood with its foul emanations, befog
ging the brain with its tainted exhala
tions. Constipation is the beginning
of more diseases than, perhaps, any
other single disorder. The conse
quences of constipation are legion.
Headache, pain in the side, shortness
of breath, undue, fullness after eating,
coldness of the extremities, nervous
ness, indecision, lassitude, dizziness,
sallowuess, flatulence, and a score of
other ailments are directly caused by
constipation. Cure constipation and
you cure its consequences. The quick
est cure of this evil is obtained by the
use of Dr. Pierces Pleasant Pellets.

A New World to Conquer.
Some interesting facts regarding the
• great size and possibilities of our coun
try were brought out ar one of the re
. eeet hearings before the Committee on
, Irrigation of Arid lands. It is not
usually realized, especially by people
in the East, that an enormous area of
our country, six hundred million acres
,in extent, lies unutilized. This is an
area larger than the whale of Europe,
and big enough to furnish land for a
dozen Old World kingdoms. Of course
a good deal of it is, and always will be
unfit for the support of a large popu
lation, but with proper management,
it is destiued to become the home of
thousands and even millions of people.
This great tract lies entirely west of
the Mississlasippi Valley and extends
over the Kocky Mountains, the Great
Dcsect aud into California. Much of
it at present is a barren aud desolate
wilderness with too scanty a rainfall
to provide the necessary moisture for
any but the hardiest vegitation. Irri
gation is to effect the charge. Years
of successful experience in the artifi
cial watering of land has proved beyond
a doubt its wonderful efficiency in cer
tain portions or this arid section, in
California, in Colorado, and elsewhere!
so that it is but a question of capital
and enterprise before the whole large
problem will be solved. Every year
sees an advance toward this desirable
end; Congress has some phase of the
matter constantly befor it; the United
Statjs Geological Survey has rendered
valuable assistance in determining the
flow of the rivers, which must be used
for water supply, surveying and esti
mating the cost of dams and reser
voirs, and pointing out previous mis
takes and errors which may be avoided.
Close the mind's eye a moment and
picture the accomplished result. Fifty
million people added to the population I
east of the Missouri river, for this is '
the number of inhabitants the present ;
waste lands are capable of supporting'
a great nation in itself; an agricultu
ral community, hhanging desolation
into fruitful lands, creating a constant
ly Increasing demand on Eastern
manufactories, and taxing to the ut
most the carrying capacity of the great
trans-continental railroad lines. It
means a new and bright era of devel
opment for the country.
