DOMESTIC SERVICE.
A Mistaken Idea Prevalent Among
Country Help.

A Mistaken Idea Prevalent Among
Country Help.
There are few relations which cause
so much feeling as that of domestic SER
vice outside of cities, or where the du-
ties and privileges of household help are
not clearly defined. The girl in the
country or on farm thinks she is badly
treated If she is expected to take her
meals by herself or with other help.
She thinks she is just as good as her
employer, and is filled with wrath that
there seems to be a prevailing impress
sion that she is not. This is the ex-
treme of folly, and is productive of more
dlscontent than almost any other sub
ject of difference between employer and
employed. AS a matter of fact, the
question OF who is or who is not as good
as the other, does not enter into the
case at all. Custom and convenience
often make it more desirable that the
family take their meals by themselves,
and she is, indeed, a foolish girl, who
looks upon it as an evidence that she is
not just as good as somebody else. She
may be great deal better, for the mat
ter of that, and according to this, might
| decline to associate with the family at
all. Many girls fancy that the distinc-
tion rests upon the possession of dollars
and cents, and resent the advantages OF
the wealthy. Girls who do their duty
in cheerful and obliging spirit are not
"lcoked down upon," as they choose to
term it, but arc respected, and often
much beloved-in many cases cared for
through sickness, and provided for in
old age. But ''the girl who leaves her
place because she is not good enough to
sit at the table with the family" will
wait long for such care and remem-
brance.-N. Y. Ledger.

Introduction to book by Mrs. Lucy
Rider Meyer on "Deaconesses."
"A deaconess? What is that?" You
will probably ask as did a voice at my
elbow when remark had been passed
on sweet-faced woman in a black
peasants cloak and quaint bonnet, who
had just boarded the car and sat down
opposite.
Zone of a noble order of women from
the Methodist church, who visit the
sick and the needy and who have con-
secrated their whole lives to city mis-
sions," was the low reply.
Questions as to the origin of the So
ciety would be best answered by going
to the mother of the deaconess move
ment, whose dwelling place is hand
some five-story brick edifice on the
North side, at the corner of Dearborn
avenue and Ohio street.
Pausing to note the legend inscribed
on the side of the steps leading to the
outer hall, we see in large letters: "Chi-
cago Training School for City, Home
and Foreign Missions"
On ringing the little bell in the vesti-
bule, the visitors are greeted by young
woman with grave, sweet face and q
Bible. She is on her way to class.
Mrs. Meyer? Yes she is in. Please
be seated" and we are left In the soft
embrace OF great arms belonging to
Sleepy Hollow chairs, which form a
part OF the luxurious furnishings of the
room. Here to the left is windowed
alcove, peopled with big Japanese
vases. An upright piano, with its COM
panion, laden music rack, guarded by
handsome engraving, occupy another
space. A beautiful Japanese cabinet,
with Its wonderful contents of Oriental
pottery and other curios, invites curios-
ity in corner, and chief beauty OF
the apartment is the wide, triple-arched
window looking toward the southern
sun, crowned with stained glass and
curtained with soft white silk.
Further comment is checked by the
entrance through the wide-arched door

unlimited amount of melody is in the

THE IDEAL AND THE REAL,

Student Who Swallowed a Red-Hot Idca,
Connected with the men and teach
ings of every college are its traditions.
From class to class come down certain
stories OF men and customs which illus
trate the ideas of different years. In
the beginning of the revolution DR..
Witherspoon was president of Prince
ton college. He was a Scotchman bv
birth, and man of strong common
sense
1t was the fashion of the time to hold
the ideal theory-a practical denial Of
the existence OF matter. The ideal phi
losophy taught that external life, and
what we call the material world, are
the creatures of fancy. This system of
philosophy was even more prevalent at
that time than materialism is at the
present day.
1t is said that DIR. Witherspoon, find
ing it impossible to reason upon this
matter logically with people whose
minds were on fire with the ideal the
ory, entered the. classroom one morn
ing, and in the course of his remarks
said:
Young gentlemen, if you think
there is nothing but ideas in the world,
just go out on the campus and butt
your heads against the college walls!
You will at least get an idea of mat
ter"
On another occasion the students
were at supper, at long tables with a
tutor presiding at each. There was
one student of the class who did not
believe in the theory of ideas. They
had hot mush and milk for supper; all
at once they were disturbed by this
student uttering dreadful cry.
Everybody started up to know what
was the matter. The student said:
"Mr. Tutor, l ask your pardon. I
have just swallowed red-hot idea."
The tutor bowed, and the apology
was received without any evidence OF
amusement. Chicago Journal.

MRS. LUCY RIDER MEYER.

eurer, teacher, and an untiring worker
in all. By her efforts, supplemented
BY those of her noble husband, DR.. j. S.
Meyer, this wonderful work was organ
lied and carried on from mustard-seed
beginning of four students six years
ago to its present proportions of lis
pupils, two large buildings here and the
Wesley hospital on the South side,
nearly 500 young women sent to labor
in the vineyard, besides the remarka-
BILE record of having aided 21 and COM
pletely equipped lS of the ~ deaconess
homes in existence.
This WAS accomplished in large
measure, in its beginning at least, by
the same fright idea that Miss Willard
later turned to account in securing by
penny banks the great sum of money
to build the Woman's temple.
Small collection books were scattered
broadcast through the land, each con-
tanning clipping from one Of Mrs.
Meyers papers read before a preachers
meeting, when she was agitating the
deaconess movement. The clipping
read:
"Can twenty-five thousand dollar home be
built out Of nickelsf That sum would give us o
home, large enough for few years, in o
healthy location in this city, yet near enough to
the crowded and degraded localities to furnish
abundant opportunity for practical work.

Episcopal church Of the United States to-day.

these women for the cause of missions. would

once q life time-f1ve cents, the despised nickel,
that we hand out SO readily for street-car fare
or the daily paper-and fifty thousand dollars,
twice tho amount asked for. would be in our
hands for this buildingI"
There was, as in Miss Willard's case,
a generous response, and since by solic-
itations, lectures and procuring other
subscriptions the present property be-
longing to the home, amounting to $64,-
600, was acquired. The services Of all

found all the saddles belonging to the Life
Guard ct Windsor so badly cut that they
were completely ruined. The men were
ordered into their barracks and were there
confined. Here they became uproarious,
