,.a,s Servants. | the plan O It Is so often said ihA~ ,c sarv.r, engaging Indies as domess.. 'sao,nr, does not succeed. that 1t Is sssss. ,h. to hear of at least one case where ' plan has been tried most satisfactor.. ly by lady who has domestic cstab- ! lishment both in London and the coun- | try.
 The eternal servant question crop I ping up in q recent conversation with this lady. writes an English lady. asked her how the plan of employing educated women of the upper classes us servants had answered. "It has been entirely successful, was the re- 1 ply, rand my servants ure now always ladies. I have one a housemaid. n charming girl, who is the daughter of medical man, and all of whose male relations are professional men. and who does her work as thoroughly and as well as any ordinary servant could be expected to do it."
 linen you do not find that. after the glamor of novelty is worn of, the lady servants begin to find it rather unpleasant to do menial workP" Not in the least. If they are real ladies (and 1t is, of course. only in cases where they are that it can succeed), they will know that menial work does not lower them. or course try to avoid giving them so-called dirty work us much us possible. For i'm stance. backing grates is very un- pleasant work. and very ungratesul work too. for the result is nevor last ing and never particularly effective. 1 therefore only have grates decorated with tiles as much as possible. and with the smallest part of iron work requiring blacking. Again, in order to avoid scrubbing, I have the floors covered with material which only requires wiping. A great many arr | engagements can be made in this way to make homework less hard and un- ! pleasant, and if we, the mistresses. would only spend little more thought O,i these matters 1 am sure there wo,'Id be fewer complaints from and about servants.
 Al tue suiuS ttiuc, the tuuN Weut on. Il always insist on my servants fulfilling every duty they have under taken to perform. If they engage to black my boots they have to do 1t, and do it regularly and well. But this 'oes not prevent me from having them in ny drawing-raom after dinner and plavin. a game of whist or any other eame wit's them. Their liveq are, even under ,'he most favorable circum- stances, rather 'aono.onous, and where We eau put littl,s color and bright ness into them l ,hirk IL Is our duty to doit."
 Then do they take their meals with you. tco?'
 No. as a ruic find that the, pre- ter to take shcir tneals together & pa rately. and as they have to cook an>i serve the meals thi9 is more con venient arrangement Bu. otherwise i treat them as equals. and l have not found that they abuse shis treat ment.n

Tho rustic of the feminine skirt will be heard all over this broad land dur ing the coming winter. It Is the popular fad, and not to rustic will be about as odd fer the devotee ot fashion as If she had been living in the back woods.
 The scheme comcs from Europe. and tho advance guard of rustlers have arrived among the first of the sample crop of summer sojourners who have returned from abroad.
 Woman will make noise in tho world. but she does it so artlcssly and inofyensively that it commands the ad- miration of man. The only way in which tyrant man can got even with his partner in this instance is to have music box located in the heel of his boot so that he can turn on Annie Rooney" or some other choice air to drown out tho rustler.
 Tho rustic Is produced in this man. ner; Tho muslin and soft silk under skirt are to be discarded.

Tho pernnlary servItnde ef Wives.

Men who arc rated as honorable. upright citizens, dealing justly with their fellow-men, will, when d aues- ton of money comes up, treat their waves. the mother of their children. with less honesty than they do the
 tax assessor. and with much less con stderatlon than they do their office

 state of things which 80 widely pre- yails in the disbursiug of moneys in { the household and the wife's private ! purse. Here Is an instance: For
 twenty years Mrs. Brown has been ] faithful wife and mother, prudent, industrious housekeeper, and a woman
 much beloved and respected by all
 her friends Mir. Brown was rated as prosperous business man, and as generous as most men, but all this time Mrs. Brown had no money that she could absolutely call her o1n. The credit system prevailed, and if by any unusual means Il piece of money passed into her unaccustomed palm. it had to be scrupulously ac- 1 counted for to the chancellor of the domestic eXchequer. She was a long suffering woman. but her soul had
 chafed and worn against the yoke till 1 It was sick and sore. Still. she had
 too much self-respoct, even under
 these degrading conditions, to whee- dle. lic, or descend to small decep-
 tions to gain her ends and she ab-
 horred a scene" as much us any man living. So the little gifts she felt liko ! sending to friend. the fsw flowers to
 an invalid tho bit of damask to cover
 a chair seat. or the small surprise for
 tho children. had to be passed by with
 sometimes rising lump in her throat.
 which even at times deyeloped into
 "a good cry" in private. Still. she
 made no remonstrance. She was proud in n certain way, and she be-

CHATTER fX.-A TERRIFIC s.-
 Blue Ridge is beautifully located on .- upper Thames several miles from London. The building is handsome mansion, built at the beginning of the last century, when English gentlemen reveled in the luxury of spacious halls, superb galleries and magnificent recel tion rooms. The Duke of Melvorne keeps quite court of lords and ladies about him who amusc themselves according to their taste or fan ", while he remains free 10 go and come without restraint. There is always some plan for amusements being carried on by Lady Hortense, an aunt of the duke, who is the lady of the house and entertains his guests
 On the first evening of our visit at Blue Ridge there was a grand concert in which some celebrated musicians from London took part. It was grand treat to me and as listened thought how Stella's eyes would sparkle and her expressive face re- spond to the soul inspiring melody, if she was here
 One day as the colonel and myself were having quiet game of chess in the dukes private parlor, a favorte resort for gentle men not otherwise engaged, the duke came In, saying:
 Lady Hortense has just been asking me to find some one to take the part of Uncle sam in theatrical play they are getting mp. l promised to nrge you, Colonel Haynes, to take the part

London Is III blown upl The tower is de strcyed! The Queen Is dead, and no one | safe.
 Everyone is panic stricken. Uncle Sanc forgot to smoke; Johnny Bull forgot hii wrath, and disorder reignesi supreme. The
 man who brought the report had not seca anything but the frightened people in the streets of London, he said, were running
 and screaming with terror, as though al] ! England was about to be destroyed with
 Irish dynamite We could not gain any
 definite knowledge of any source, and tic
 night was passed in dread and suspense.
 On the first train in the morning mum Der of us went down to sec the wreck, There was nothing talked of on the train or on the streets but the terrific explosion.
 We soon learned that the Queen had not been in the slightest danger. But the great ornamental gates leading to West
 minister Hall had been thrown to tn, ground, and the windows on the north and south sides of the immense building mad been blown 10 atoms The leather on the seats in the building had been cut and torn, and the horse hair stutiing was seat. tered in every direction. The great win. dow over the entrance to Westminster Hall was shattered to fragments, and the floors were covered with broken glass end masonry. The lobby of the House of Com. mons in the Parliament building was com. pletely destroyed The strangers gallery was thrown down. A chip was taken from the speakers chair, and Mir. Glqdstonc's chair was in spiinters. The western cx vremity of the building was a complete wreck
 But the tower was the most perfect ex ample of the power of dynamite. The doors were completely destroyed. The ex, plosive substance had played mad pranks with the many hundred stands of arms twisting the rifles into the most fantastic shapes, and scattering them into wild con. fusion.
 1,ondone s who heard the explosion de. scribe it as most terrific. It was an awful shock, striking at the heart of English pride and power, and resounding through every land and cline with warning notes.
 Returning to Blue Ridge the details of the explosion were commented upon at great length Each guest had some theory to advance as to what would come next and why this atrocious crime had been
 ~etrated.
