Advertising through tho columns of a newspaper is one way, and we consider it a very good method, llut there are many more ways. One of tho best advertisements in the world for a Clothing store is the quality, fit, style and price of a fine suit or an elegant overcoat. If the purchaser is pleased with the garment sold him, and saisfied that he has secured a good bargain, he will confidently recommend his friends to make their purchases of you. This sort of advertising is the most valuable of all. "Three times to my own kr -v lo-jjo the young woman has apparer' ' passed out of this life into the other v rid, and twice preparations have been tn: 'o forherburial. On one occasion her com; n ion was out of the city. During his absence she was taken suddenly with a sinking spell, and the landlady becamo greatly alarmed. In two hours tho invalid was pronounced dead by tho lad ies In tho boarding-house who were In attendance upon her. As tho day advanced tho landlady, Hceing no signs of tho gentleman's return, visited an undertaker's near by, and preparations wero mado for laying out the corpse. Tho body was cold and stiff when tho undortaker arrived. Ho viewed thecorpso and went back to his shop for his assistant. During his absence tho missing companion of tho dead young woman'arrived upon tho scene. It was now about four o'clock in tho afternoon. Upon being informed of her death flvo hours beforo tho gentleman uttered an exclamation of surprise. Then rushing up to the room where the body lay ho closed the door behind him and turned the key. When the undertaker returned he was refused admission. Two hours later tho gentleman emerged from tho room and ordored two suppers sent to tho apartment. Itater the young lady was seen sitting upright in bed, eating heartily. Her companion had brought her back to lifo by a method of rubbing and physical manipulation known only to himself. Twice after this ha repeated the performance. Three times to my knowledge has this man brought the young woman back from tho dead. 8ho lives hero to-day, still an invalid, and is 11ablo to die again at almost any moment." Iho question of being buried alivo and tho recent case of Washington Irving Bishop were matters discussed by a party of gentlemen at tho Bohemian Club tho other night, says tho San Francisco Chrouicle. A journalist who was present told the following story of local interest: "Living In San Francisco to-day are two persons whoso strange experiences have long been a mystery to me. Two years ago a Boston gentleman cair.o out to tho coast. Ho brought with him his companion, a young woman in tho last stages of consumption. Sho was pretty and talented, and ten years younger than her escort I am of tho opinion that a sort of Platonic lovo existed between them. Still Living. A Young Woman Tlirw TIujob Dead Tel JYR W.F.

"And tho man who was going to build there," continued tho liallstonian, pointing to tho abandoned foundation, "gave it up as soon as lio heard that tho barber had bought tho lot next him and was going to build there. A friend recently told an Albany (N. Y.) Express man that he had learned where they draw tho dividing line between tho upper and lower crusts of Ballston socioty. A resident of that village was showing him "tho sights." At tho cornor of two wooded lanes was tho foundation of a house. It was a stone foundation, but grass had begun to cover it, and it looked as if it were never to servo its Intended purpose. Next to it stood a pretty cottago. ' 'A barber lives iu that house," remarked that Ballstonian, pointing to the cottage. "He evidently mado it pay," was my friend's comment. Casto at Ilallston, X. T. A NUMBEit of Minneapolis people who tako an interest, in labor matters are advising the girls who work in manufacturing establishments in Hint city to try to lay the basis for a cooperative factory by making a few dozen samples of overalls, jackets, etc., and putting them on sale in tho cooperative store. It is thought that a trade could bo worked up among tha organized men, which wonifljrvo employment to several expert workers. If somo of tho experienced girls w»uld take tho time to make a lino of samples the outlay would be trifling, and many a successful co-operative enteiv priso has started in just as liumblo a fashion.  A week's work in the cotton mills of England is 55 hours; in Uio mills of Massachusetts, 00 hours; in Franco, 72 hours; in Germany, from 66 to ?2 hours; iu tho woolen-mills in Germany, 76 hours; in France, 73 hours; in Massachusetts, CO; in Great Britain, 56; in Huddorslield and Deusburg, 54. Tho productive capacity of one operative in tho United States, Great Britain and Germany, taking 100 as the unit, is; In the United States, 100 In cotton, wool and silk; In Great Britain, 67 in cotton, 77 in wool, 81% in silk; in Germany, 27% in cot- in wool, 68 in aiik. Am Iowa clergyman recently made the startling assertion that "every y?ar in tho United States 2,700 brakemen uro killed and 30,000 are crippled." That Is, that one brakeman out of every twenty-sevon is killed every year, and that one brakeman out of every threo or four is cither killed or crippled. Tho Now York Sun estimates that tho number of brakemen killed is only obout 6,581, instead of 22,700, but thinks that this number is higher than it should be, mul that "tho railroad companies can not do too much for tlio comfort and protection of a class of men who risk lifo or limb every day that they are in service." XpE six new female factory inspectors who bavo been added to the six male inspectors employed by New York State, will probably find plenty of opportunities for daing •ervice in the enforcement of the factory laws. In that State there are nearly 30,000 factories of all kinds, about 11,0 0 of which' are tn New York city. Tho statistics show that fully three-lifths of all tho workers in them aro women and children. J "If ever there was a period in the history of tho United States," says tho Knights of Labor, "when thero existed a supreme necessity for organization of the working classes it is tho year of grace 1889. The 1st of May, 1S90, will be a red-letter day In the history oi' labor. If the working men fail then to aci np'.ish tho eight-hour day It will put back tl. labor movement twenty years, or it will bo ' '-.o precursor of storms and tempests unittho working class such as tho world has i- over seen." Kansas City want a more near y uniform scale of wages and shorter hours fhey are Rotting from (8 to 115 a week and board, and they work from twelve to eight een hour* "day. They want twelve hours' work and better wages. An industry peculiar to Pittsburgh is the business of testing and inspecting structural iron and steel. Over one hundred expert engineers, carefully trained and thoroughly competent for this work, have made It a special duty and do nothing else. The statement recently made by Mrs. Barry, the Knights of Labor general Investigator of women's work, that only 1 per cent of tho 45,000 female workers in Chicago are organized, is backed up by other statisticians. Philadelphia is much bettor off in this regard. 1 O.nk of tho objects of tho Geneva inter-, national labor conference, to which the Swiss Federal Council has invited all manufacturing nations to send delegates, is to provide for tho regulations of tho labor of women and children, tlio length of their working hours, and their pursuit of dangerous or unwholesome occupations.

"To-day gold, silver, iron, ivory, steel, pearl, shell, celluloid, rubber and even glass aro utilized iu making thimbles. When art needle-work was in its firstburstasa popular craze, four or live years ago, thimblesof great value and of most elaborate workmanship, to accompany the rich and costly implements and materials wealthy ncodle-workers affected, found a largo sal©. Solid gold thimbles, elegantly carved and frequently set with diamonds, were found nono too good for many fashionable homo decorators. Thimbles made to order, with the mouogram or initials of tb<* person for whom they were intended set in precious stones, were by no means unknown objects d'art, in t he fashioning of which the skill of our artistic metal workers was taxctiL I know a rich young lady in this city whose enthusiasm for art needle-work wussolntenso threo years ngo that nothing but a diamond set gold thimble that cost 1100, with other embroidering implements to to match, would enable :,,r to reproduce those well remembered, ' arful and wonderful butter-cups, dairies and blue-bells that one saw blooming in such prodigal profusion on foot-stools, banners, screens, tidies and bureau covers in all homes of culture and refinement in thoso crazy days of amateur home art. "Loftinp's thimbles and, in fact, all early thimbles, were made either of iron or brass, and Si ciineus of them extant, many of which ; o preserved as heirlooms, are crude .1 cluinsy-lookintf things compared with the commonest thimble of to*, day, although their cost was many times a* much. "Tbero is a rich family of tho name of Lofting in England," said a dealer in fancy articles to a New York Mail and Express man, "tho fortune of whose house wm founded by such an apparently insignificant thing as tho thimble. Two hundred years ago thimbles wera unknown in England. The thimble is claimed by the Dutch as an Invention of their oountrv, but it is known that it was in use among the silk embroiderers of China hundreds of years before it was used elsewhere. Tho first over seen in England was mado in London less than two hundred years ago by a metal-worker named John Lofting, tho founder of the family named. '1 ho usefulness of tho article commended it at oneo to nil who used the needle, and Lofting acquired a  fortune and great fume in the manufacture of the now necessary to tho needle-worker'i art. The implement was then called the thumb-bell, it being worn on tho thumb when in use, and its shapo suggesting the rest of the name.
