AESTHETIC DOMESTICS.

Incidents Proving the Existence of Glass
Prejudices In this Country.
There is on the Back Bay certain
physician, living in rather simple style
for that aristocratic section, whose
family has been served in domestic
capacity, as the reporters would say, by
an excellent Irishwoman of mature
years, who had done similar service in
the "old country" before she came TO
this. Not long ago the physicians wife
was informed, somewhat timidly, by
Margaret, that she, Margaret, had been
offered dollar week more wages
than she was getting, to enter the fam
lily of rich merchant down the street.
"Well, Margaret, said the doctors
wife, "thnt is more than can afford to
pay"
"Yes, men,"
"Then you will leave us, supposep"

"Why notp Why don't you go where
you can get the most wages, Mar

dices really do exist in this country.

THE FRENCH ACADEMY.
History aud Purpose of the Worlds Most
Exclusive Literary Society.

History aud Purpose of the Worlds Most
Exclusive Literary Society.
The French Academy is society or
club made up of forty of the most gifted
as we'll as famous of the literary men
of France. 1t had its origin in .
literary coterie which held meetings in
Paris during the time of Louis XIV,
and it was Cardinal Richelieu that
gave it its unity and purpose. His
object was to have a fixed standard of
grammar and rhetoric given to the
language. believing that this would
tend to the unifcation and peace of
France. The duties which the great
Cardinal imposed upon the members of
the Academy were 'to purify and fix
the national tongue, to throw light
upon its obscurities. to maintain its
character and principles; and at their
private meetings to keep this object in
view. Their discussions were to turn
on grammar, rhetoric and poetry; their
critical observations ON tho beauties
and defects of classical French authors.
in order to prepare editions Of their
works and to compose new dictionary
of the French language" The Academy
at present preserves little OF its origi-
nal character of a mere coterie OF
grammarians, and as for the die
tionary, it is, after all these years, not
yet completed. The original Academy
was swept away in 1898. In 1903
Napoleon partially restored it, but not
under its original name, which, how
ever was revived with the restoration
OF the Bourbons. This association
meets at the Palace Mazarin, Paris.
Its chief officer is its secretary, who
has life tenure of his position. He
receives a salary of $4,000 francs, the
society being allowed by the Govern
ment 85, 900 francs year for the pay
ment of its officers and the care Of its
library. The Academy is always ia
consist of forty members, all vacancies
being filed by the votes of those
already composing the body. To be-
long to it is regarded as a high honor
the members being spoken of as "the
forty immortals." Ambitious authors,
therefore, employ much social diplo.

and no doubt the choice Of new
academicians is often made on the
basis Of personal admiration or COM
munity of sentiment. rather than ol
pure merit. But for all this, no Other
mode Of selection could probably be
devised that would enable the body tt
sustain, decade after decade, tho same
character, purpose and standards. -

The COUNTRY EDITORS WIFE

You have heard Of the country editors life,
With its care and worry and doubt;
OF the shabby genteel OF his seedy clothes,
OF his diamond pins, and his calm repose,
His happiness, money, and gout
But say, have you heard Of the editors wifei
OF that silent copartner, who,
With blending Of sentiment beauty and skill
With temperate lxno Wedge, with tact, and will,
The whole Of his labor can dos
1t is she who embroiders the garments worn
BY the editors hard old chair,
Now dressed with cushions, soft and neat,
And trimmed up with tides and ribbons sweet,
VIZ oh once was SO poor and SO bare.
II the editors sick, or away, or behind,
In need OF more hands and more haste,
She directs his Wrappers so they cnn be read,
And writes the leaders right out Of her head.
And willingly makes his paste.
She reads the magazines, papers, and books,
AS the cradle she softly rocks;
While the editor sits in his easy chair,
With his fingers thrust In his tangled hair,
She quietly mends his socks.
Then she reads the ads with the editor,
just to find what each has paid.
"But the column ad. of the ieweler, there"
So he says. "and the harness and human hair
Must be taken out in trade"
She wears the corsets he gets for ads,
And rattles his sewing machine;
She uses the butter, and eggs, and things,
The country subscriber so faithfully brings,
With o cheerfulness seldom seen.
But her life so full OF merry delight,
Has one dark cloud, alas!
Though she shares his ticket to circus an play
To lecture, and negro minstrels gay,
She can't use his railroad pass!

All night long Captain baltimore tossed
about, unable to sleep. He was tortured by
tho prospect of dreadful alternative. 1t
seemed as though he must either shave off
his beloved whiskers orgo about for the rest

over and over again, in hopes of discovering
some third course, but none appeared. The

The Constitutiona1Iy Tired.
Boston Budget .saunterer.nl


The subject of loatng is prolific one
if any person is inclined to treat it in
all of its bearings, but the Saunterer has
only space at this time to refer to the
number of haunts that the listfess and
idle have. They will invade the busiest
places, and occupy the time of all who
are good natured enough to listen to
their wretched dribble. They are pre-
pared to criticise everybody and every
thing about them, and though they
have been notorious failures in all they
have undertaken, owing to their indo-
lence, they are always ready to say how
much better they could do the work
which really Industrious people are per
forming to the best of their ability.
The Saunterer has often noticed that
apothecary shops are favorite lounging-
places for the cOnstitutionally tired,
and he has wondered if the fatal mis-
takes that druggists some times make
are not the result of an attention dis
tracted by the remarks of some hanger
on, who has nothing to do but retail the
senseless gossip of the hour.

How can the tide of population be
turned back from the cities to the

gently warning the country people
against the cities now these twenty
years; but in spite Of their exhortationS,
the cities are constantly growing at the
expense of the country districts. In
several of our most prosperous cities
during the last winter, one-tenth of the
population received charitable aid from
city authorities and a considerable pro-
portion of those who were thus started
on the road to pauperism were formerly
living in comfort in country places. The
kno Wedge of this fact will not greatly
check the movement toward the cities
The prospect of starvation does not
daunt those who are tired of the lonli-

CHANGING FASHIONS IN FISH.
Tastes of New Workers for Food the
Fishermen Bring to the City.
New York Sun

New York SUM-
Il have noticed" said an old fish
dealer, that the tastes for various
kinds of fish have undergone remark
able changes in the past few years.
Spanish mackerel, that was once an ex-
pensive luxury, and only to be found
at che best restaurants or on the tables
OF wealthy epicures, can now be had in
any eating house at prices very little
higher than those paid for ordinary
mackerel, and many, perhaps, prefer
the ordinary kind. Halibut, that used
TO be the standard family fish of New
Workers. has certainly sunk into a Sec
ond or third place. l can not very
readily account for this, because the
halibut, cooked in any of the recognized
ways, is finely favored fish.
The consumption of Goldfish has in
creased enormously. 1t may be said to
have taken the place once occupied by
haibut and, indeed, l think it is a bet
ter favored fish Boiled, or fried in
steaks, it is a decided delicacy, and is
plentiful enough to be always procur-
able at a reasonable price. Pan fish are,
for the most part, of little value now.
Porgies have lost ground considerably,
though they are very good eating They
are becoming scarce in New York wa
tiers too.
''Singularly enough, the coarser fish
have gained somewhat in favor The
sturgeon, which formerly was consid.
cred to be hardly fit food for white
man, is now frequently seen on the
tables of good Iivers 1t is gen
orally smoked, which in a meas
ure destroys its oily flavor, but
1t is also eaten fresh. Some
of the poorer people living far up the
Hudson smoke it and make it staple
food. They call it North River beef
l have been told that sturgeon is so
scarce in England that when one is
caught it is sent to the lord lieutenant
of the county. Founders, too, have in
creased largely in popularity, and the
them. They are sold at low prices.
Formerly the expression, No better
than fried founder was the common
pronunciamento against a poor fish,
but now it is we'll understood that if
founder is soaked in vinegar for a night
it becomes firm, losses its muddy taste,
and makes a fairly good meal.
''Eels are dropping out of public
favor rapidly, and brook trout and sal
mon have become highly popular,
though both are very E. pensive, and
salmon are generally frozen and have
been a long while on the way to market.
Some time ago captain of ship tried
the experiment of stocking our waters
with the much-prized English black
sole. Ee brought out 100 Of them, but
they were all dead but seven when he
arrived at Sandy Hook He turned the
seven adrift, and whether they turned
their heads toward home or died where
they were liberated I don't know; but
downtown restaurant keeper next day
pinned a notice in his window to the
effect that he had caught them all, and
was offering them all at 25 cents a
plate. The black sole is fiat, like a
founder, but it is long and very thick
1t has to be skinned, Ike an EEL before
it is cooked. 1t is a wonderfully deli
cate and palatable fish"

Unlike many kinds of cathartic

Grafton is gentle, but thorough, and

such as nausea, gripping pains, etc.
Seigels Operating Pills are the best
family physic that has ever been discov-
cred. They cleanse the bowels from all
irritating substances, and leave them in
healthy condition.
The best remedy extant for the bane
of our ives-constipation and sluggish
liver.
These Pills prevent fevers and all
kinds of sickness, by removing all pois-
onous matter from the bowels. They
operate briskly, yet mildly, without any
pain.
If you take a severe cold, and are
threatened with fever, with pains in
the head, back, and limbs, one or two
doses of Se1geps Operating Pills will
break up the cold and prevent the fever.
A coated tongue, with a brackish
taste, is caused by foul matter in the
stomach. A few doses of Seigel's
Operating Pills will cleanse the stom-
ach, remove the bad taste, and restore
the appetite, and with it bring good
health.
Oftentimes disease, or partially de-
cayed food, causes sickness, nausea and
diarrhea. If the bowels are cleansed
from this impurity with dose of
Seigel's Operating Pills, these disa-
greeable effects will vanish, and good
health will result.
Seigels Operating Pills prevent
ill-efects from excess in eating or drink
ing. A good dose at bedtime renders a
person fit for business in the morning.
These Pills, being sugar-coated, are
pleasant to take. The disagreeable taste
common to most pills is obviated.
