The College Boat Races.

This Is the season Of the year for college
boat races and for the next two weeks All
eyes will be centered on the Yale and
Harvard crews at New London, nrst In
their practice week and then In the final
struggle for which the brawney. giants
have been denying themselves the lux
uries of life all winter long. On July i,
the two crews will meet and settle the
question of supremacy on the water for
the season of 1892 and then In the
fall the winner will In all pro-
badly meet the Oxford crew in
England for the University championsh' p
of the world. But while the Yale and
Harvard crews will practically row for
the championship of America, neither
crew will he champion when the race Is
finished. Both crews have been chal-
Hanged by the Cornell crew, but for some
reason neither Yale nor Harvard cares to
tackle the Cornell men who had such
walkover with the University OF Pennsyl.
vania boys. The Cornell crew is in all
probability the equal of Yale or Harvard
this year and just how these last two col
leges can race for the championship when
they refuse to allow another crew In the
race is thing not easily understood:
Cornell by beating the University OF
Pennsylvania crew, has just as much
claim TO the championship as the winner
of the Yale-Harvard race.

America. Both crews are in good condi-
ton, and fine race will result, O'Con-
nor and Hau.au are the favorites: AS
soon as the double scull championship Is
settled, O'Connor will challenge 1eemer
to row, and definitely settle the question
of who Is the champion single sculler Of
America. Jake GaudaUr has his eye on
Hanlan, and will deposit $500 TO bind a
race with the ex-champion. In the double
scull race the Canadians should win, as
they have worked longer together, and
scull alike. while Teemer's style OF scull-
ing differs considerably from Hosmer's.

The Servant Girl Then and Now.

The servant girl question is still a burn
ing one in nearly every center OF popula-
tion and it is likely to remain question
of paramount interest to housewives for
some little time TO come.
A good many more or less foolish solu-
tions of il have been proposed and aban-
doned and still social philosophers are wor-
rying over il without material result. In
the first place they can't agree among them
selves what the question really Is, and
those who do agree upon that point can't
agree upon any other except that the hired
girl is an uncertain quantity and a source
of infinite vexation to housekeepers.
The hired girl is human. That Is one
point that often seems to be forgotten by
those who complain about her. If it were
always remembered possibly the servant
girl question would settle itself. Bridget
and Gretchen never are wholly inseasible.
They have their woman's pride, their femi-
nine instincts and contradictions, and
where they are not taken into account
trouble is bound to follow.
1t is to be noted that our great-great-
grandmothers had precious little worry
with their help. Hannah was in the
habit Of living in the same family till she
got married, and about as often as not she
married one of her mistress boys. In any
event she was help" and not servant" 4"
She resented the latter appellation and
bore herself Independently and worthily
before the eyes of men. Her education
was defective of course, but so was that
of her mistress, and the two read the Bible
together with the same uncertainty as to
the big words and the long names Of the
mighty men of old. When they died and
went to heaven we are taught that they
were not there separated by any line Of
caste or favor
But it's different nowadays, to be sure.
1t is impossible for the hired girl to be
taken into the family as one of the family.
Yet her lot might well be softened and
frightened by little human sympathy
and friendly interest. II she is a good girl
1t will make her better, and If she is bad it
will tend to restrain her from becoming
worse. And she is not likely to leave a
place where she seems to be appreciated

From The Springfield Union.

The PROVIDENCE NEWS has made a very
liberal offer TO Rhode Island workingmen, and
one that should have excellent practical re-
suits. The plan Is outlined as follows:
The NEYs proposes to send at it's own ex-
pensc representative Rhode Island working
man 20 Great Britain TO report upon the con-
diton of workingmen there. IL will pay all
his expenses and furnish him with guide
books and all necessary information and as
sistance in laying out his route. He will start
some time In May and will have time enough
20 do n great deal of sightseeing besides inves-
tigating huts and novels and tenements.
England and Scotland are so compact that
great deal of work and play, too, can be
crowded into trip of fairly generous dura-
ton.
The choice OF the man who is 10 enjoy this
"trip is left with the readers of the paper. the
only conditions being that he be one who
earns his living by daily labor and is compe-
tent and willing 10 keep those who have
chosen him 20 represent them informed by
sending an occasional letter to the News, Civ
Ing the results Of his Investigations. The con-
dition Of European workingmen has been de-
scribed frequently. but IL often happens that
reports are biased by the economic views Of
the writer's, and the present plan should re-
suit in n report that workingmen and all
others can depend upon as substantially accu-
