Don't Like Dish washing.

OF the tens of thousands of INDECENT
italian women who have come to New
York within the last .cw years few
have sought to get living by domestic
service. The fact that they cannot
speak our language makes them un-
desirable in households: and, besides
that, they are unframed in such duties
as are needed by American families
and know nothing of the art of house
keeping in the American way or Of
kitchen work and cookery in the
American style. Several New York
families, however, who have procured
Italian domestics, give satisfactory ac-
counts of their experiences with them.
They say that the Italian young women
are quick to learn, anxious to please and
very sure to be extremely polite, and
that if the mistresses who hire them
will only be patient with them for 2
few months they will very likely fine
them to be unsurpassed in the perform.

PERSONAL AND ,MPERsonAL

An eloping couple were traced re-
Gently in a peculiar way. A boarder
had run away with his landlady, and
the husband of the woman, knowing of
the boarder's fondness for onions, gave
that as part of the description. When
the couple were identified the man had
n plate of the odoriferous vegetable
before him.
Edwin Booth in plain, ordinary
suit of gray and soft black hat is fre-
quently seen these days about the New
York thoroughfares- A great many
people appear to recognize the wonder
full eyes under the heavy eyebrows, the
long, strong nose, close lips and rather
sharp chin. Mr.. Booth looks well and
much younger than his years.
"A Marion, Ala, telegram says that
Edith Brown a beautifubchild of seven,
was frightened to death by st. Ber-
nard dog. She was passing along the
street, and the dog ran viciously to the
fence and bounded against it, climbing
up on the palings. The child screamed
and fell to the ground. Passcrsby
reached her she was gasping, and in
few moments was dead.
--Bernhardt on the stage is only ex-
eats, drinks, sings, pats her dog and
drinks again. II anything happens to
lisplcasc her she throws something at
the dog, calls him to her again, kisses
him on the head, and asks his pardon.
Then she drinks to the health of every
body, including the dog, and then falls
to eating. And SO she continues to tear
4 passion to tattcrs until the last raisin
has disappeared.
Very much the greater part of the
opium smoked in the Chinese laundries
and joints is secondhand. Opium is
costly, even though so much of it is
smuggled across the Canadian border,
and, since only half its strength is ex-
haustcd by one cooking" it has be-
come profitable industry to save the
refuse of the pipes, prepare it over
again and sell it anew. A great deal of
the opium sold over the counters Of the
Chinese stores and called second grade
is really secondhand.
Helen Gladstone is thought to re-
semble her father in appearances, and
she also possesses his remarkable vital
ity. at Newnham college she invari-
ably keeps her table in the best of
spirits by her amusing stories and
witty rcpartecs. For ordinary society
regulations she has little respect, and
is quite Indifferent about her 'lrcss. ap-
pearing at luncheons and dinner parties
| in plain, sen ible looking costumes, in
which very little taste is displayed
She is, however, a social favorite.
Many people have heard of ''the
Presidents flat in New York, but few
know from what the structure derives
its name. The Sun says it is tall,
narrow brick building with stone lin
tells and arches, and it would be wholly
of the regulation type of better class
tcncments except for one thing, which
is that over every window is carved in
| brown stone the head of one of our
! presidents. The work is done IN such
| a manner that more than half dozen
of the heads are recognizable. The eff

A MIGHTY MEAN MAN.

Sheepish.
"Now, gentlemen, said the man with
the checked suit on. as he hriskly en-
tered the waiting room, where more
than twenty of us were sitting. Il
have no time for foolishness. Life is
short. and the man who expects to get
there must hustle. l don't have much
to say, but what do say is straight up

can be relied on every day in the week,
Sundays included. One drop placed on
"A bogus diamond, a filed watch case,
or a rolled-plate pin, Immediately eX-
poses the cheat and protects you from
imposition. Who takes the first bottle
at twenty-five ccnts?.'
No one spoke, while every one seemed
to hold his breath, and after looking
over the crowd the fal>ir continued:
you've been swindled and imposed
upon. and You hesitate to buy good
thing. There are at least fifteen
watches and half a dozen so-callcd dia-
monds in this crowd. Who'll he the
first to pass up watch, pin or ring and
let me test it?''
Not leaf stirred, and two-thirds of
the crowd actually turned pale.
I'm waiting" remarked the man, as
he stood before us.
Every body looked at the opposite
wall, and every body wished he lad that
chap out in the woods for about three
minutes
'Oh. WELL" he continued, ''if you are
all built that way of course ! can't ex-
pect to make any sales here. | thought
there might be one or two of you with
some straight jewelry, but as there
isn't, and as I don't want to squeeze
You too closely, I'll pass on
1t was a great relief to every body
when he walked out. and the next five
minutes were spent in sly glances at
each other. BY and by l got up and
walked out, stared at by all the others.

.Moral Thras hing"

1t is strange how parents forget their
own thirst for knowledge at what they
consider this innocent age of childhood.
One thing must be remcmbe bered. When
children ask questions and explanations
it is not because some one needs n
moral thrashing" for robbing them of
their innocence. 1t is because they
themselves are trying to solve some
thing that, to them, is enveloped in
mystery. Is the mystery lessened or
deepened by discovering that their
question cannot be answered or, what
is worse, has Mortified the parent? 1t
certainly is not lessened, but, where
before purity prompted the question,
shame-of what they cannot say-a
lack of sympathy will keep them silent
now And the opportunity is gone for
ever for complete confidence between
parent and child. If children could
only be taught that there is nothing to
be ashamed of in nature, that it is the
degradation of the human family for
which they must blush, there would be
less need of moral thrashings" in this
world. - Teresa Dean, in Chiesgo
