More than $50 years ago Reaumur, OBJ

distasteful to them, consequently he
rubbed various garments with the wool
Of fresh pelts, and also wet other gar
ments with the water in which wool had
been washed, and found that they were
never attacked by moths. Experiments
with tobacco smoke and the odors of
spirits Of turpentine showed that both
were equally destructive, but it was nee
essary Us tlose the rooms very tightly and

A Rich Mans Obstinacy.

One well-known popularity of Com
modore Vanderbilt was his stubbornnesS
that is to say, when he took occasion
to be stubborn. When he knew a
thing he knew it, and that ended it.
Here is a little circumstance illustra-
tive of this popularity, which has never
been published:
After the completion of his steam
yacht, in which he and his family took
trip to Europe, and by the way, the
pioneer trip in transatlantic steam
yacht navigation, he was advised to
take a pilot on board till the yacht had
passed Sandy Hook.
'Tll be my own pilot" was his bluff
way of settlingit.
''There's danger of running on to a
rock" suggested the captain.
81 know every rock about this har-
Dor, insisted the commodore. You
steer as tell you and it will be all
right"
The captain did steer as he was di-
rected, and sure enough the yacht
struck a rock and, what is more, stuck
there. That piece of obstinacy delayed
the voyage several days and cost the
commodore several thousand dollars.
That's the only rock [ didn't know
about the commodore said afterward,
and with this positive knowledge on
the subject he was still unyielding in
the matter of pilot. He acted as his
own pilot when the yacht made its sec
ond start, and this time with success.
Here is another story told about the
commodore which has never found its
way into type: When the ferryboat
Staten Island only needed a few finish
ing touches the commodore told the
painter to put only the initials of the
boat on the wheel-house. The painter
did so.
care YOU such a big blamed FOOL
the commodore asked the painter, as
he saw the two initials letters, mot to
know that St. stands for Staten, and
not S. p''
Pursuant to the commodore's orders
the required additional letter was af-
fixed to the first initial, and the initials
st. l." still remains on the boat

Servants in South America.

Servants are as unmanageable in
Buenos Ayres as they are everywhere
else and in many respects more trying.
General houseworkers are unknown.
For the smallest family one needs a
cook, housemaid and, instead of a
maid-of-all-work, a boy of any age
from ten years and / have seen even
younger, on duty in native households.
Besides these no washing can be done
at home. There was, | am told, at one
time even law against the drying of
clothes in ones own patio or on the
roof. At any rate a laundress is an
almost impossible person to get and
clothes are given out to the LGUG1adaras
who support themselves by the pursuit
of that profession alone. They wash in
the river, which is very wide. and very
shallow on its southern shore, and ris-
ing only when gales are blowing from
the sea, leaves on its retiring great
pools of water in the hollows of the
beach. These pools are the wash-tubs
for the whole city and flat stones are
used as boards, the clothes being rub
bed between two such, so it is not to be
wondered at that all kinds of wash
SOoNtS N1hO 1IOCuChG 1CplStClHS. L liz
same women who wash do not iron.
They are themselves employed by
the person engaged by ones self,
who usually is the ironer and who
receives the pay for the whole. [ found
this arrangement very unsatisfactory,
for there was no one person who seemed
to be responsible for the return of the
things and for the manner in which
they were done. 1t is fault found by
every one, but there seems to be no
way of remedying it. Some few families
have succeeded in getting regular
laundresses to join their retinue of
servants, but it is still a hard thing
to manage and the cooks object to it.
