4 Very Perplexing Question.

The question Of household service grows
year by year more perpiexing and harder to
solve When one takes this fact into consid
Grafton, and remembers that it is stated on
good authority that three-fourths Of the
women in this country do their own work
and that Of the other fourth full one-half
employ but one servant, how to make life
more simple and easy seems matter of the
utmost Importance. 1t is not mere ques-
ton of money. The having it or the lack of
it does not settle the matter. There are
many parts of the country in which anything
Ike competent service cannot be obtained for
love or money.
OF the three-fourthS above referred to, it
is safe TO say that at least oneh half Of them
do not belong TO the class that is content to
be merely drudges. They, like her sisters,
arc fond of books, of art in SO far as they
know it, Of beauty in all its forms. They
long for leisure with all its golden posSibiii-
ties.--Julia C. r. Dorr in The Century.

THE LATE MODERN" CRAZE.
A Craze for the Newest Instead of What
Is Oldest.

A Craze for the Newest Instead of What
Is Oldest.
There is q new craze this fall It is a craze
for what is newest instead of what is oldestiu
household furniture bric-a-brac and related
articles. Those who are the victims of this
craze do not go up and down the city attend
ing auctions and haunting second hand shops
in search of claw footed tables, high Shout
dered clocks, snuffers spinning wheels, china,
decanters, mirrors-all warranted to be an
tiques or the money refunded. No. None
of these things move them. The fact is that
they have renounced the old and have flown
for relief TO the contemporaneous. The
newer thing is the better they like it. I'm
less, for instance, piece Of furniture is SO
fresh from the manufacturer that the var
nsh is still a triae sticky it fails to attract
them. They call themselves the Society for
the Promotion of the New; they have adopted
as their motto, Say not that the former
times were better than these" and they have
chosen Mir. Veneering as their patron saint.
The origin of the society is rather interest
ing. Several ladies well known as indefatig
able collectors of old things spent last summer
in quaint village among the New England
hills They were aware that the village had
lovers of the old, because of the many veneer
,lble warming pans, sideboards, candelsticks
and the like which its kind hearted citizens
had been induced TO part with for a con-
slderation to meet great popular want. The
ladies settled down on one of the shaded
streets of the little village, realizing that the
place was dull and hot, but Sustained and
soothed" by the hope Of hunting up and pur-
chasing at a bargain lot of choice old
things. But they were doomed to disappoint-
ment. The harvesuers had been through that
field and had done thorough work, and SO,
too, had the cleaners Consequently when
these ladies arrived on the scene there was
not portable thing left for sale-save, pos
sibly, pair of chickens-in the village that
was more than year or a year and half
old.
The grief and despair ofs,the collectors may
be imagined. AT first they refused to be
comforted. although the village pastor called
and did his best. AT length one Of them sud
denly dried her eyes and exclaimed to the
others: Il have it, The very thing. Why
didn't we think Of it before Let's cut the
old and so in for the new" Her comrades
in misfortune were delighted with the sug
gestion and at once resolved to adopt it,
Such was the genesis of this interesting craze;
50 10 came TO pass that these collectors SUI
fered the Late Modern" as one Of thepl
styled it, 70 take the place in their affections
that had been held by the Early Ancient

Life Oh a Chinese Sampan.

The most interesting feature of Chinese
life to me was that on board their boats, or
sampans as they are called These boats are
about so or 40 feet long, with flush deck and
very low sides, except midships, where they
have little covering, resembling somewhat
the gondolas of Venice. They generally
have two mastS. upon which are two very
peculiar sails. made Of light cloth, with strips
Of bamboo running horizontally about six
inches apart This is really the most con-
veuient arrangement for small sail that
ever saw. If you want 20 take single reef
you give n slight pull on rope and the lower
strip of bamboo comes up close to the one
above; if a double reef. then harder pull
brings the two lower up 70 the third strip. I
never saw boats sailed better than by the
men on board these They are buils so light
that they are not at all hard to row.
Upon these boats live whole families Of
three and even four generations My sam
pan, for which paid the small sum OF 81 a
day, and which was at my use the whole
time, both night and day, being made fast to
the stern Of our ship when was on board,
had the grandfather sud mother. the mother
and father and three grandchildren. Where
they all slowed themselves cannot imagine,
and Vet they all lived there, and hardly ever,

SOME ANSWERS.
xANsAs CITY LIVE s1ocI

In answer to J. G. StroDg's query in
regard to kinds Of corn to plant, I will
say that my experience is that it de-
ponds altogether on the soil and seas
on which is best. All early varieties
of corn that I have ever seen are small.
I tried the growing of small variety
Of corn for several years, and the re-
suit was that my neighbors who plant
ed the larger and later kinds gathered
about two bushels to my one, and ]
am satisfied this will be the case five
times out Of every six, in Kansas. In
regard to the deep and shallow pillow.
ing that he speaks of, this depends
also on the nature of the soil and
season. If the ground is new pillow
shallow, If old pillow deep, but be sure
to pillow early. Plow the corn actively
while it is young.
And now In reference to the potato
inquiry made by Mr.. Rodman, I vii
state that I consider 1t time and seed
both thrown away to plant potatoes
without thoroughly manuring the land
on which they are planted. also
think mulching with hay or straw just
as necessary as manuring. But let me
refer those that wish q lesson on DO
tato and cabbage raising to Mr.. 1. B.
Lawyer of lola, as he is by far the
most successful vegetable grower
have ever known In Kansas, and he
informs me that he meyer pretended to
plant potatoes even on his old rich
river bottom farm without manuring
heavily. Consult him
Ottie Hall, plant your melon seed az
soon as all danger Of frost is over. Pre-.
pare the land by digging holes Il
inches in diameter and II inches deep
Mix soil with well rotted stable
manure, two parts soil and one part
manure, fill up the hole with this AND
make hill on same six inches high, lei
this hill be of the same material as the
other, level off nicely and plant 8 to 1;
seed scattering them all over the hill
When they commence running thin t.
4 in each hill and then stand back ou
of the way. L. F. KELLEY.
