Salaries of Itomsckeencrs.

The best paid women in New York
city OF any other large city, said a lead
ing employment bureau proprietor To
me yesterday, are the first class Compe-
tent housekeepers. There are few wO-
men who are really competent to take
charge of households like the Wander
bilts, the Astors, and so on. who are
willing to undertake it The competent
woman has had a large house of her own
at some stage of her life and has lost
her fortune. She prefers to make her
living i'll some other way than house
keeping, because it seems to her a loss of
dignity.
In England women are bred to the
profession Of housckeepers, inst as they
are taught to be cooks, hOusemaids, lady's
maids and so on. Here housekeeperS are
housekeepers by chance more than any
thing else. That is the reason why big
salaries are paid to really competent
women. know one such woman who
enjoys a salary of $1,000 a year. has her
separate table and a servant to run her

House Plants.

Many plants taken up this fall and
ported for display indoors during winter
will show the want of skill in the gar
dener by dropping, by change of color of
leaves, and by other signs of slowly
dying. When plants get to that stage
nothing will restore them bat heroic
treatment, rs none but II gardener can
restore them, and as gardeners do not
hang around our houses, to be at hand
in such emergencies; and as the plants
will lie at any rate, we will give treat
ment which will save them if they have
not gone too far.
Heat wafer up to about 10 degrees
and with it water the plants as usual;
next day U>e water up to 125 degrees,
next day mp to $50 degrees; pursue this
FIVE or six DAYS and a fine growth will
result. The rationale is that the hot
water expands the sap and sap channels
and thus forces the sluggish sap into
vigorous circulation, and when that is
established the plant only requires
common attention. -GermantOwn Tele-

LOGGING NOTES.

J. G. Fairfield has put about one
million feet OF logs in the river this
season from the claim of Chas. Pratsch.
1t is said that one of Aberdeen's largest
saw mills is looking after location to
establish large logging camp next
season, on the Wishkah.
Emerson and Gray have closed down
their camp on the Hamilton place, after
a short season, having logged about three
hundred thousand.
Several inquiries have been made by
San Francisco parties in regard to the
practicability of transporting logs to San
Francisco by the Joggins' raft system,
and speak very favorably of its ultimate
success, which points to a new outlet for
our almost inexhaustible supply of
timber.
The success with which logs can be
run on the upper Wishkah has been
shown by the first splash OF Miller IS
dam, at the falls of the Wishkah. Last
Thursday. at 10 a. M, the five gates of
his dam were raise with head of twelve
feet OF water backed up the river over a
mile and covering nearly one hundred
acres of surface. 1t was Il perfect success
in every way, breaking every landing on
the river for distance of twelve miles
below it and carrying nearly eight mill
ion feet of legs to tide water, giving a
rise to the river OF over five feet for We
hours.
One of the latest additions of the new
appliances to logging on the Wishkah is
the steam donkey engine which is in
operation at the camp of C. W. Blackwell
and has proven its superiority to oxen by
doing nearly double the amount Of work
and by the cheapness of it operation. On
test trial, over fifty thousand feet o.
logs were put in the river in one after
noon. 1t requires skid roads in but
very few instances, and will haul log
twelve hundred feet with ease. Mr.
Blackwell has the only one in operation
on the Wishkah, although Frank Miller
is making arrangements to put one in
his camp before winter sets in.
