Our shop girls are considerably ahead of the servants in tho -art of providing themselves with clothes. Betting is sinful as well as uncertain, but if it were not I would wager a cart wheel dollar against a little green applo that ours are the" cutest " as well "as the most graceful and pret tiest shop girls in America, writes a New York correspondent of the Prov idence Journal. I am so confident of this that I will lend tho dollar to any one who will make the bet. They dress so well that strangers are for ever suspecting ill of their characters. The idea of thinking ill of a girl who gets up at daybreak to crack the ice in the pitcher for her morning's wash, and then works until dark for from $3 to $5 a week! If that is not a certificate of good character, lot me know what is, please. But our shop girls can do more with their pennies in the way of dress than many women 'of means do with their dollars. You show the average New York shop girl what the fashion is, the latest dress pattern or hat shape or style of trimming or drapery or manner of wearing a thing, and then see if she won't have "it to a T" next Sunday. The girls who work behind the counters in our ladies' shor ping stores number about 15,000. They leaven the whole lump. They learn all the tricks of beating the devil of fashion around the stump of econ omy. They learn all the arts and ar- tifices of the women they wait on, and all the subterfuges and saving devices of their associates behind the counters. Every night, like the carrier-doves that flew from beleaguered Paris, they scatter far and wide, retailing their discoveries and experiments among their friends of the factories and tene ments and sewing rooms and tele phone centers, and of wherever else women are who have not these chanc es of studying fashion. These girls handle all sorts of stuff, learn first of every bargain sale, and, imitating expensive goods with cheap ones, so as to produce the effects their richer sisters aim at, they have every ad vantage by being in the very sanc tums and service of fashion; but above all else is theii taste. They can fit themselves or each other as well as ever a modiste molded a ducheES, and when their clothes are on them they invest "their very but tons and bustles with a chic and pride ot bearing that money never yet has bought.

The Remains to be Taken toSalemJIundav A shocking accident ocourred at Holt &McOurtrie's carpenter shopjon Jefferson street, next door to the Al. E. church yesterday morning, result ing in the almost instant death of Ben Strang, a well known resident of Salem and this city. Bepairs had been going on on the roof of the building, and -a tin cap, 2S inches wide and 27 feet long, was to bo nailed on. Thi3 was partially done, about ten o'clock,- when, in some way," the unfortunate man slipped on the wet suingles.rain falling at the time, and was hurled headlong from the roof. He fell head' down ward, and struck on his head on the railing that runs along the walk on the west side of "the JVL E.- church, from there he glanced, again striking one of the caps of the building and falling into tho water -below. . Feed Davidson, Coroner Boss, Frank Sur prenant, Officer -Bucker, and others saw tho fall and immediately hurried to the spot, and in a very few min utes the body was got out of the wa ter. Examination showed that while it was impossible for him to drown during the short time he was in the water, life was extinct, his neck beinn broken, and the head swinging loose-1 ly on tho broken column..

Woodford began a series 6f temperance discourses at Liberty Hall last evening under the au spices of the W. C. T. U. The pro ceedings opened at eight o'clock with a few preliminary remarks, the sing ing of a hymn, and the reading from the bible by the speaker of the even ing of the scene described in the Now Testament, where Christ is said to have miraculously fed tho multi tude on five barley loaves and two fishes. TJio speaker dwelt with em phasis on the statement that "the fragments filled twelve baskets." He- thought that was a lesson of -severe economj;that'the gathering up of tn"e fragments, the solicitude dis played for the broken bread, the torn fishes, was in answer to the ad monition "Waste makers want." Wherever there was found "waste .there would be found"want, the great er the waste the greater the want. The one was always the proportionate result of the other. This direction of Christ's that the fragments be gath ered up, was, to the speaker, one of Christ's ways of convincing the mul titude that he was thejlessiah. Here CoL Wo jdford, who has a fine baritone voice, asked the audience to stand and sing something to eat. "Work, Wages and Whisky." seemed to be "the three W's," to judge of the way many men spent their nloney. How the time was spent from Saturday night to Monday morning would furnish the index" to a 'man's life: It isn't how.much a.man -earns; it i how he spends his earningi The Knights of Labor, through their head man Powderly, had come squarely out in opposition to the liquor traffic, and if the organized churches that call themselves Chris tian would do as the Knights of La bor had done, there wouldn't be a saloon in the United States in five years. He drew a striking picture of two men. the one spending "his earnings in making home happy; the other j unable to withstand temptation ami lured, to squander his money on oth ers who only cared to have him spend it. If any of his statements were challenged he wanted it under stood that the platform was free and he invited dispute. The truth would be made appear. Facts were all that were wanted. He had spent his life with drinking men till ten years ago, and knew what he was talkiug about. After a discourse of an hour and forty minutes, ho called upon all present to sign tho pledge while the audienoo rose and sang ''Hold the Fort." The colonel is n man ot pleasing appearance, a ready talker, inter sperses his remarks with wit and amusing anecdotes, strikes straight from the shoulder, knows all about his subject and talks temperance in a tern pe: ate way.

FOUXD DROWNED." Cast Up By the Waves at Hearboronqh Head. Amid sheets of rain and a driving southwester, the sadly frequent spec tacle of a drowned man carried on a rude stretcher, was seen at two o'clock yesterday afternoon. So often is that scene visible in tho streets of Astoria as io dull by its frequency the thoughts of, the tragic ending of another human life. How they meet their death; whether amid tho storm and darkness the hapless occupant is struck by the boom and flung over board, or whetl er the boat upsets, or ran into a trap in Baker's bay-, or in what way the accident occurs "is many times impossible to ascertain. The boat is found on the'beach, the net or a part of it is cast ashore, and ater.a day or a week, sometimes longer, the bruised and battered form of the captain or boat puller is flung on the sand and brought to town by his comrades, who pay him the last sad tribute of respect from the living to the dead, by giving the body decent interment The young man whoso body was carriedinto the undertaker's yester day morning was Wm. Sandell, of the Point Adams cannery. Members of the Columbia Biver Fisherman's Pro tective Union say that he was drowned in one of the traps on the Washington territory side in that vi cinity. He "will be buried by the Union nt one o'clock this afternoon. Astonishing Success. It is the duty of every person who has used Hosetee's German Syrup to let its wonuertui qualities do Known to their friends in curing Consump tion, severe Conghs, Croup, Asthma, Pneumonia, and in fact all throat and lung diseases. No person can use it without immediate relief. Three doses will relievo any case, and we consider it tho duty of all Druggists to recommend it to tho poor, dying consumptive, at least to try one bottle, as 80,000 dozen bottles were sold last year, and no one case where it. failed was reported. Such a medicine as tho German Syntp cannot be too widely known. Ask your druggist about it. Sample bottles to try sold at 10 cents. Begular size, 75 cents. Sold by all Drnggists and Dealers, in the United States and Canada. Read nie for rav cause, and be patient that ye may read." Suakhspkakk. The Greatest Study of Hnuklud is Man.

Said ene: "My dear, that's a lovely bonnet yon. have on, stylish and bo coming. It must have cost yon n good deal?" this last interrogatively. "I think it is rather pretty," jejoins the other modestly, "bnt it did not cost me more than I U3usllj pay. You know I never spend more tbnn $5 for a bonnet. This only cost mo 3.421" "ATercy!" exclaims the other in unfeigned surprise; "$3.42 for a bon net like that. I never heard of such a thing. Why, it's every bit as nice as mine indeed, I think it's prettier and mine cost me Sid. and I thought I was getting it cheap at that. How do you manage things so well, dearr " "Oh, easy enough. I go to all tho openings, see all the new styles and try on such bonnets-n3 1 imagine are becoming to me until I find that I am suited. Bnt, mind yon, I don't buy. I examine the article closely, get a good idea of just how it is made, ask the price and leave.. I then go and buy a bonnet frame for a dol lar or so, spend 3, more or less, for trimmings, and make a pretty good copy of the model that pleased me. The bonnet I have on was copied from an 18 one." "Well, I never!" declared the other; "you are a wonderful manager." Then they went in to look at some ribbons. Ph iladelph ia Bulletin. A Sound cgal Opinion. E.
