Real 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 on'y an-
other way of saying that it is the best
place to do one's looking. He aso

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
whosoever it is practiced. Real sales-

SPEED OF GAME BIRDS.
The Hazel Hen Said to Be a Wonder In
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 peints ost, one must assume
equal conditions of atmosphere and
cause for flight, for all creatures, hu-
man or other, seek their highest rate
of speed under 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,” says the
writer referred to above, “on the rare
occasions (and that they are rare 1
readily admit) when 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, which 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 Hurlingham va-
riety. ° ’
Inflammable Celluloid.
Celluloid, being first cousin of gun-
cotton and closely related to nitro-
glycerin, is highly inflammable and
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 feund in all vegetable life, par-
ticularly in young plants. It is a
starchlike substance. Cotton fiber is

HOW TO BOIL RICE.
ROCEED in the same manner as | President are
for macaroni—that is, couvk in
plenty of fast boiling water to |the Board and
which 1s added salt.- Lemon juice is
often added to insure a good color.
The rice is boiled sufficiently when a
grain can be pressed between the fin-
ger and thumb and feels quite soft.
Rice may be served in the same ways
as macaronl.
The simplicity of boiled rice makes
it especially suitable for children and
invalids, but it is rarely cooked with
sufifeient care.
Excellent Meat Substitutes.
Italian Boiled Rice.—Take a cupful
of rice and wash it. To about a quart
of boiling water add a slice of bacon,
a tablespoonful of grated Parmesan
cheese and a pinch of saffron to deep-
en the color. Boil well for five min-
utes, then add rice gradually and cook
according to directions for boiled rice.
When done remove the bacon, dot with
bits of butter and set in the oven to
dry. Serve hot.
Boiled Rice With Cheese.—Take a
half cupful of rice, boil and drain as
usual; then stir a tablespoonful of
grated cheese, tossing it with a fork.
Heap in a dish, sprinkle another ta-
blespoonful of cheese over it after put-
ting bits of butter on the rice. Set
in the oven for a few minutes until the
