HOW TO TREAT SERVANTS.

A Contented Housekeeper Explains Her
Successful Methods.
From the New York Sun
The servant girl question was under debate
in coterie of ladies up town, and bitter words
were spoken by some Of the housekeepers when
telling of their troubles with housemaids, soul
lerymaids, nurserymaids, chambermaids, and
kitchenmaids. The strain of bitterness was
interrupted by one of the ladies, who said: ~
never have any trouble with my domestic help
l keep housemad and O cook, who have been
with me for five years, and / Go not know that
they are extraordinary specimens One of
them is an Irish-American, the other q German
They say that | treat them we'll. l do not over
work them or keep them at service from dawn
till midnight. l don't scold them for every
fault. l have a nice bedroom for them and
they keep it neat. l let them go off in the day
time once or twice every week to take walk or
to visit their friends or to do their shopping.

something else than scraps or leavings to eat.

don't believe they will ever leave our household
till they get married, and my cook is a widow
who says she will never marry again. | cannot
see why so many people should have so much
trouble with their domestic help or talk so often
about the servant girl question: The ladies in
the coterie to which this contented housekeeper
thus spoke did not feel very well when her
words were ended and soon left for their re-
spective abodes with new notion under their
blooming bonnets.

Dresden China.

From the N. Y. sun
The finest, aud also some OF the rarest speci-
mems of Dresden porcelain are those that bear
the golden cipher of the Countess Cosel. She
was the fair Anna de Bischdorf. ..twice married,
who achieved a double celebrity by captvat-
ing and retaining the affections of the most
feeble of all monarchs, and maintaining her
self in favor far longer than any of her prede-
cessors. Augustus II showered gold and pres
ents upon his beautiful mistress: he filed the
Palace of the Four Seasons built purposelv
for her, with the superb china that had been
marked with her private sign. At last. how
ever, even her prolonged influence waned:
when the final separation with her royal lover
had taken place the favorite refused all the
compensation he offered, scorned titles and
wealth, and gave herself up entirely to re-
venge. This she carried so far that she was
after while imprisoned in the Castle of Stol-
pen. One day as the Elector passed under her
windows she saw him and fired pistol at him:
he was not hurt, and smlingly bowed to her.
Even at the Electors death she declined the
liberty now granted her, remaining a self
elected prisoner; she became strange and ex-
ravagant, had gold coins engraved with her
monogram interlaced with his, (fortv of these
medals were afterward found in the cushion of
the chair she usually occupied) she assumed
the garb of a magician and dabbled in witch
craft. She died at Stolpen at an advanced age,
and, strangely enough, no one has yet discov-
cred where the Countess Cosel lies buried.
1t is truism to say that nothing has been
more consistently initiated than good china,
therefore the least genuine Dresden porcelain
bears with exceeding clearness the various
marks that stamp the real article: the A. B.
Of Augustus IL, the Caduceus of the first Meis-
sen porcelain, the B. of de Briihl, the stars of
Count Marcolina placed between the two
crowned central swords, are all carefully
pointed out by the vendors as uncontrovertible
proof of the authenticity of the spurious article
offered for sale; some even more audacious do
not hesitate to produce the unattainable golden
cipher of the Countess Cosel in the hope of
alluring customers.
AT Dresden, especially, the fabrication of
"false" china is carried on to q considerable
extent. An immense number of houses send
out to the whole world counterfeits of old
Meissen and Old Saxon, the demand being ap-
parently as inexhaustible as the supply. While
deploring this cheapening of really artistic
and prodigous cleverness that succeeds in puz-
zling connoisseurs and experts, and has more
than once caused divergence of opinions among
them. At the same time Dresden is perhaps OF
all European cities the place where collectors
can find the richest harvest of authentic and
really valuable specimens Many old families
have been and are daily compelled by reverses
of fortune to part with their heirlooms of old
china, and they can be purchased on far more
advantageous terms than when they have been
secured by the dealers of Holland and Great
Britain, who are always on the lookout for such
windfals.

Full foot trimmings are seen on many skirts,
but should be carefully avoided by all those
who are inclined to embonpoint, for if even an
inch or two is taken from a skirt at the bottom it
means an apparent decrease of height and de-
cided broadening out. A very fiat bias ruffle,
put in with but little fulness, is the best trimming
for short or stout people, if they must have foot
trimming ct all.

GENERAL Ruonn, in eo4hmand of tn .

GENERAL RuoER, in command of tn o
military department. OF Dakota, has no fear
rising of the Northern Cbeyennes,
spno5f tho alarming rumors from the
neighborhood of their reservation in South
ern Montana. lie explains that settlers
have strongly objected to the Cheyenne
reservation, and there have been frequent
taunts made that the Indians would soon
be cleaned OFF. The result has been to keep
the Indians and settlers at daggers' points,
and TO fomont any trivial difficulty.
The report that posse of cowboys has
left Rosebud with the avowod intention of
driving tho Indians back on their reserva-
tiop, without regard to the troops, Is rather
curious under the circumstances, as tho
Cheyennes number some nine thousand
and arc the most warlike of savages. II
seems probable that the disturbance is the
work of u few of tho reck less and worthless
Indians of the tribe, and that whites are
magnifying II in the hope that the result
may bo the removal of tho Cheyennes,
whose presence is u constant menace. II
Is also said that the Indians are in an ex-
cited frame of mind, because of the scarcity
of food aud II is possible that collision
with cowboys might bring tho whole tribe
out on the warpath; but even in that
event tho troops could probably crush
them before much damage could be done,
as one-third of our little army is up in that
part of the country, and the Northern Pa
cifc railroad could bring them quickly to
the scene.

The Presidents Economy.

President Harrison has vetoed bill
for public building on the ground that
In the present uncertain state of the
public revenues aud expenditures, re-
sulting from pending and probable
legislation, there is an absolute necessi-
ty that expenditures for public build
ings should be limited to cities where
: public needs are very evident and very
imperative.
The president will do we'll to attend
TO the waste of public funds at the bung-
holes of pending and probable legisla-
ton" His economy is very strik-
ingly In contrast with the almost
simultaneous announcement of an
appropriation Of vast sums by Congress
Tor pensions, by bill which no one
for moment imagines that the presi.
dent will dream of vetoing. An appro-
psiation Of forty thousand dollars for a
postoffioe In hopelessly Democratic city
strikes him as extravagant, but he NAV
easily see the "absolute necessity" fol
igQing forty million pension bin even
may involve an expenditure
that sum. A Republi
