Household Ignorance.

The popular ignorance concerning
the management of stoves, furnaces,
gas meters, locks, faucets, sinks and
basins and various mechanical con-
trivances of modern domestic life is
appalling. Plumbers make fortunes
out OF the stopping of drains which
could be kept clear with very little
intelligence. Houses are kept I'M
healthy by the spread of coal gas or
kept chilly for want of heat, all be-
cause no one in the household has the
intelligence to manage the furnace.
1t takes considerable guinption to
manage an ordinary kitchen range,
and no one can do it without knowl-
edge as to the use of hampers.
The average servant is absolutely
and hopelessly incapable of doing
this properly without careful instruc-
ton and drill. The only way in this
case is for the head of the house to
find out the right way and impart the
information to the servant. Often a
kitchen range is condemned and torn
out when, in fact, all that is needed
is to know how 10 work it. This in
formation the sellers of the range will
De only too glad to impart.

A curious Berwickshire (Eng.) le-
gend attributes the Introduction of
potatoes into Scotland to that famous
Wizard of the North Sir Michael
Scott, and according to the story
Michael and the devil, being in part
nership, took the lease of a farm on
the Mertoun estate called the White
house." Michael was to manage the
farm. the devil managed the capital.
The produce was to be divided as fol-
lows:-The first wear Michael was TO
have all that grew above the ground,
and the devil all that grew below;
the second year the shares were TO be
divided in just the opposite way.
His satanic majesty. as n might
suppose, was badly beaten in his bar
gain, for Mr.. Michael, with true Scot
tish foresight, sowed all the land to
wheat the first year, and planted it
all in patatoes on the second, so the
poor devil got nothing for his share
but wheat stubble and potato tops.
In spite of this legend, however, we
must give Sir Walter Raleigh credit
for introducing the potato into the
British Isles. The first potato cult
vators of England fell into the natu-
raj error of eating the small green
balls on the vines instead of the tuber.

The habit which New Jersey Legislatures have
OF going through the motion Of taking a hand in
national politics IS very funny. They assume to
approve or denounce some act before Congress-
in high sounding resolutions, debate the ques-
ton. pro and con, with the greatest energy and
seriousness, and finally vote on the matter with
a soiemnity that could not BE- exceeded if the
fate OF the measure depended on their action
All Of this is rather ridiculous, but it is a per-
fectly harmless amusement Congress does not
incline its eartrumpet, as a general thing, TO-
wards the New Jersey Legislature for instruc-
~tions-Sfate Gazette.
No, the Congress Of Boss Reed will
not hearken to the voice of the people

Girl Queens of Europe.

During the present century, says the
Philadelphia Telegraph, three girl
queens have before the advent OF
Queen Wilhelmina, almost simultane-
ously assembled the throne of an Eu-
ropean nation-Maria da Gloria, of
Portugal; Isabella, of Spain, and Vic
toria, of England. The two first had
the misfortune of attaining to the re-
gal power while still mere children.
There has been a wide difference be-
tween the histories of the spoiled
daughter OF Spain and the headstrong
Portuguese damsel and that of the
grand and conscientious maiden of
eighteen who was called upon to reign
over Great Britain. BY her close af-
fliations, through her sister, the
Duchess of Albany, to the English
court, Queen Emma Will probably
profit by the examples set by the
Duchess of Kent in the education of
her daughter.

A Flnaneier ln skirts.

The knowledge that some women
possess of business and finance is as
tonishing.
And then again the knowledge that
some women do not possess on the
selfsame topic is still more astonish-
ing.
There is one peculiar thing about
a woman's business tact and talent,
however.
1t doesn't seem to matter how
bright she may be, as soon as a check
gets into the transaction she is in
deep water.
l had occasion this morning to pay
a bill of $3.50, and, with the air OF a
man proud of the fact that a thinly
clad collector did lot have to wear
out four pairs of shoes chasing him, /
walked into the store and handed out
a check for the amour of the bill.
The young woman looked at both
sides of the check and studied it care
fully, reading 1t as ii it were a con-
tinued love story. She finally glanced
up and remarked:-
II don't know about this"
Thinking that she meant to cast
some reflection on the value of the
check | was just getting myself into
shape to retaliate when a smile came
over the young woman's face as if she
had at last reached land, and she
said
Il haven't handled many checks,
but | guess / know how"
Then she Endorsed the check, re-
ceipted the bill, handed them both
back to me, and said in a very sweet
way
THANK you very much"
This left Inc with my bill receipted
and a check for $3.50. In other words,
| was $3.50 ahead in the transaction.
l explained the situation to the young
woman, but from the vacant look on
her face it was easy to see that she
couldn't grasp the mistake. The
check was too much for her.
/ told the story in part a few min
utes later to a cynical newspaper man,
and he remarked
THAT shows what a woma knows
about business. Did you give the
check back?n he asked.
"Yes."
"Well, it seems to me that that
shows what you know about bust
ness" was his next remark, made in a
Disguised tone.-Kansas city Times.

The Princess Marie Victoria Of
Edinburg, is | hear from a Bucharest
source, to marry the adopted heir to
the throne Of Roumania. She has
not as yet a religion, though in a way
she is a member of the Church OF
England. He is a Roman Catholic,
and on his mothers side Saxe-C oburg-
Braganza. Come what may, he
is sure to have a large fortune. His
father and mother used to be on long
visits at the Tuilleries toward the end
of the Second Empire, and we're, by ac-
cepting an offer OF the Spanish crown,
the cause OF the war of 1870. But
what may come is this:-Carmen
Sylvia may ~predecease her husband,
and he take a second wife, and have a
son or sons. The adopted heir would
then sink below his present level.
The Queens life is not a good one.
She is subject to the kind of illusion

she fancied she was in a way to bar
the heirship OF her sister Elizabeth to
