u and Milk Maids.

| The shadow OF impending trouble
hangs over the dairy business in this
city. This does not refer to that branch
of the dairy business which with un-
earthly rattle and clatter of cans de-
livers the blue-fringed tactical fluid in
the s'wee' sma' hours of the morning,
but over that class of restaurants which
style themselves ''dairies," presumably
from the fact that they are run on the
temperance plan, and that the mush
and milk and other viands are dispensed
to the customers by female attendants,
OF dairymaids, in place of male walters.
Of these restaurants there are half a
dozen scattered about downtown, and
nearly all of them enjoy an excellent
patronage.
The dairy regarded as the most aristo-
cratic in the trade is one pitched in the
heart of brokerdom, in close proximity
to Wall street; but the one transacting
the largest business is located in the
midst of newspaperdom.
In the former establishment the dairy
maid piques herself upon her social
status and culture, and somewhat affects
Boston manners and customs. In the
latter establishmentth the dairymaid prides
herself upon her engaging manners, her
wit and her skill at repartee.
In the former establishment the dairy
maid will say to the customer: 'Per-
NIT me to break the continuity of your
repast by inquiring if you will take a
little more tea?" while in the second
establishment, ii the customer asks il
there is any veal on hand, he is not un-
likely to receive the reply of: Certain
ly. 1t is almost twenty-four hours
since you have been in to see us,
and we regard you as quite a prodigal.
The fatted calf will be killed at once"
In both these establishments, as also
in a number of the less prominent
diaries, there is trouble between the
dairy proprietors and the dairymaids.
The latter threaten to strike-that is,
they threaten to suspend work, not
strike a material or physical blow.
The of the estrangement be-
tween the dairy proprietors and the
dairymaids differ in the various establis-
ments. In the a~ristocratic dairy in
brokerdom the da;rymaids complain
that the proprietor is stinting as to the
fare and that the food they receive is
not what it should be. They demand
the right to order what they please.
In the restaurant further uptown the
maids complain that their hours are too
long and the number of tables that they
are compelled to wait upon too large.
In both places the pay-$4 a weeks
declared to be inadequate.
1.-THE owners of these establishments
are very obstinate against making any
concessions, and negotiations are at
present at a deadlock. The dairymaids
are only waiting until the proit-yielding
holiday season is over, when, it is de-
clared. they will take very decided
action" said Miss Sarah Martin, of the
downtown dairy, to a Journal reporter.
In the meantime they are explaining
the state of affairs to their customers,
and the latter in large numbers are pro-
posing to stand by the fair maids, who
have so often stood behind them, and
vigorously boycott the establishment at
the first outbreak of trouble .-NeW York
Journal.

Hor.eshoe I'm HIS Mouth.

Monday morning, When the stable OF
Benjamin Haupt was opened, his horse
was found standing in the stall with his
mouth wide open. 1t seemed curious, but
what was more curious was that a horse
shoe was in the mouth standing crosswise.
The animal was taken to j. B.. thinner
mans blacksmith shop, where its mouth
was pried open with iron bars sufficiently
to let the shoe be taken out. An exam
nation showed hat the shoe had been on
the horses foot the evening before. The
animal evidently got its loot in its mouth,
and, in trying to get it out, the shoe was
torn from the hoof.-[Shamokin (Pa.)

HELP to Good Diee..,on.

IN the British Medical Journal DR.. w
Roberts, OF England, discusses the effect Of
liquors, tea, coffee and cocoa on digestion.
All OF them retard the chemical processes.
out most OF them stimulate the glandular
activity and muscular contractions. Dis.
titled spirits retard the salivary or peptic
digestion but slightly when sparingly used.
Wines were found to be highly injurious to
saiivary digestion. On peptic digestion all
wines exert a retarding influence. They
STIMULATE the glandular and muscular
activity OF the stomach. Effervescent
wines exert the greatest amount of good
with the least harm to digestion. When
ones digestion is out OF order everything
goes awry, unless, as in the case of I. T..

paratus is kept up in apple-pie eating order

Women Who Toll.

The number of women in this city
who earn a living by the needle is dill
| cult to ascertain. There are hundreds
of establishments on all the business
streets where sewing is either done or
given out to be done. A reporter for
the Mail and Express recently asked
two sewing girls what sort OF a living
they made.
"How much are you paid flor making
those garments?" asked the scribe.
1--WE get % cents apiece" was the
ready reply.
..And you do all the work necessary
on them for a quarter of a dollar?"
eyes,
''How long does it take you to make
81 do very well if I.make four a day."
said one"
''But it takes more than ten hours to
make four, work as hard as you WILL"
rejoined the other.
The jackets they carried were OF
thick wooden goods. They were waded,
lined with alpaca and had the finished
appearance of a garment made by an
adept. The sewing machine did most
of the straight work, but the button
holes, putting in the lining and other
work had to be done by hand. The
seams had been pressed, the threads
picked out ard the garments
were neatly folded and already to
be sold. Wages for the making
of underwear, and, indeed, for gentle
mems entire apparel have dropped con-
siderable during the last few years.
The pay of the girls who make up all
the smaller articles, such as gloves and
necktics, does not average more than
S. a week. Many have to be content
with less, and Sc is considered good
pay nowadays. Most of the work is
done by piece. Mems drawers are
made complete for SO cents a dozen
pairs. For the hickory shirts that la
boring men wear, made out of stout
stripped blue, 40 cents a dozen is paid.
Overalls are made complete for so
cents a dozer. Striped calico and white
shirts are made for IS cents a dozen.
The forewoman fixes the prices and sees
that the work is satisfactorily done. If
it is not good it is not paid for. Fore
women's wages vary from SIS to 800
a week. A button-counter gets SO a
week during the busy season and Sc
during slack time. When the new
shirts come from the laundry, she
counts the buttons to see that none are
missing, folds the shirts and puts them
in the boxes. There is a general rule
in factories that those who work there
are fined for being late, 5 cents if they
earn SIS a week and 10 cents if they
earn S10.-NeW York Mail and Express.

The Sultan's German Confectioner


One of the sultan's weaknesses is a
fondness for confectionery, and a story
coming fresh from Constantinople shows
that he does not spare any expense in
indulging it. ga short time ago."
writes a correspondent, 'a German con-
fectioner travelled from Moscow to Con-
stantinople in the hope of securing a
situation. Being of an inquisitive turn
of mind he determined to get a sight of
the sultan, and so kept a lookout in like
ly places. At last the opportunity
came, and as the sultan was driven past
his German admirer vigorously saluted
him. Unaccustomed to such an exhibit

his innocence clear, and the avowal of

interest, the man was dismissed with a
present and a n injunction to turn up the
next day with clean skin and new
clothes. The result of the secondinter-
view was that the confectioner was set
to making pastry as a test of his powers
in that art, and his success was so COM
