BAD SERVICE IN AMERICA,
We Are the Only People Who Willingly
Pay for Poor Help.

"y luz I OOA 1ACAps
The Americans are the only people
in the world who pay we'll for bad

ingly given, glad in most instances
Gf rural housekeepers) to get girl, :"
no matter how inefficient and dis
qualified she may be, for the work of
the house. She must be fed, clothed
and respected and her wages paid,
writes Mrs. Sherman in the North
American Review. She may break
crOckery to any extent, often to that
of thousands of dollars; she may
throw away sugar and flour and
meat and potatoes by bad cookery;
she may be insolent to her mistress,
taking her own time for going out
day or evening; and she may badly
wash the flannels and scorch the gen.
tlemen's shirts; the mistress must
put up with it, else the precious
creature will leave and the lady must
do her own work; or as a dressmaker
who had badly cut some gowns for an
employer remarked, putting the frag-
) ments in at the door: "Here, finish
your gowns yourself" This is not
good political economy. The servant
should be taught moral obligation.
We must remember that there is no
tyranny in a republic; there can be
none but the tyranny of the masses.
And as the welfare of the millions
is bound up in this question, as the
comfort and prosperity of our great
estate must depend upon the indus
trial ability and honesty of those who
serve US for wages, it follows that the
first thing to teach servant is a
sense of moral obligation. When we
take into consideration the early his
tory of those who come to us as do
nestle servants, the marvel turns out
to be not that they are so deficient,
but that they are not more SO. Look
at the poorer classes in the streets of
Glasgow, for instance. We need not
cross to the adjacent kingdom. We
know all about "the pig and the pra
ties," and really from Pig and-Pratie-
dom come some of the best of our
nurses. and maids. No one who has
kept house number of years but has
sprinkling of delicious and refresh
ing gratitude, in her Renaissance,
over some dear and faithful Biddy.
Their faults. are those OF ignorance
and that double brain which is al
ways tripping itself up (the cause of
the Irish bully, the impossibility of
clear comprehension Of the straight
road, blinking and being blinded by
their own wit, and their aimless, in
accurate absence of logic. How much
could be done by giving these Norahs
the healthy and bracing influence Of
honest puritan training in New
England town! We all know what it
has done for some of them-made
them perfect servants.

Lucky Friday.

The notion that Friday is an un-
lucky day is the worst nonsense that
ever entered the human head. In
Chicago there are half dozen fami-
lies of Fridays, who have as good luck
as any other people, and in early
American history the day was pecu-
liarly lucky. Columbus sailed on Fri
day, Aug. 21. On Friday, Oct. IL, he
discovered land; on Friday, Jan. 4, he
started home to Spain; on Friday,
March 25, he reached Palos In 1893
he discovered Hispaniola on his sec
ond voyage on Friday, Nov. %, and
on Friday he discovered this CONT
nent. Any other country's history
will show as many lucky as unlucky

IN ARCTIC REGIONS.
A Famous Hunting Place for Polar Whales,
and It's Dangers.

and It's Dangers.
From the northern part of Hudson
bay, already arctic in character,
stretches far towards the pole deep
inlet, which some early navigator
of those desolate polar shores has
termed Roe's Welcome-as if any
thing within that ice-bound and
lonely coast could be welcome to q
person just from civilization! The
name, no doubt, was given in memo
ry of some escape from the drifting
ice packs, when the inlet furnished
refuge from one of the fierce storms
of that polar region.
Roes Welcome is famous hunting
place for the great polar whale, or
"bowhead," as the sailors call it, says
St. Nicholas. This huge whale,
which is indeed immense in size,
often makes his home among the
great ice packs and ice fields OF the
polar seas, and goodly quantity Of
these it finds in Roe's Welcome. But
these ice packs swinging to and fro
with the tides, currents, and winds
in such a narrow inlet as this, rem
der navigation dangerous even for
the stanch whale ships, and they
generally make their fishing grounds
off the lower mouth of the great in
let, where the cruising is much safer,
if not so profitable. Occasionally.
when some exceptionally good ice
master is in charge Of Whaler, he
dashes into the better fishing grounds
for a short cruise; another. less skill
full, lured by brighter prospects or
discouraged by poor catch outside,
enters the inlet and either reaps a
rich harvest of oil and bone or wrecks
his vessel. Or he may escape after
an imprisonment in the grip of the
merciless ice letters for year or two
longer than he intended to stay.
Such was the fate of the good ship
Gladiator, from a well-known whaling
port in Southeastern Massachusetts.
She sailed to the northermost end of
the "Welcome," as the sailors called
it, and after a most profitable catch
of "boWheads," had the i'll fortune to
remain firmly bound in the ice for two
years. During this long time, much
longer than that for which the vessel
had proyisioned, the crew were de-
pendent on the many Eskimos who
clustered around the ship. The ma
tives supplied them with ample guam
titles of reindeer, musk OK, seal, and
walrns meat, in return for small
quantities of molasses and coffee.
Their companionship, too, rude as it
was, did much to while away the
dreary, lonely hours of the two years
imprisonment.

salt as a Preventive of SMALLPOX.

'I've a cheap and safe remedy for
smallpox" said the doctor-miner.
my father was d physician before
NE, and he used it successfully. It's
sure, too, in cholera and yelloWfever.
Now guess it, gentlemen. It's a SIM
pie article-one you've all used from
childhood No, you can't? Well,
sirs, it's salt-common, plain, every
day salt. Salt, you know, preserves,
prevents putrefaction. The diseases
we most fear, according to eminent
medical authorities, are due to putre-
faction in our system. Here's where
the salt works like charm. Now,
don't smile, but try it. If you take
two teaspoonfuls of salt in glass Of
water, say, three times a day you'll
not have to be vaccinated during a
smallpox exidemic, Stunned during
cholera scare, or nursed during a
yellow-fever plague. Put a little
vinegar in the glass to make the dose
palatable and keep it up week or SO.
Salt is a preseryer of life, gentlemen,
and if you are ever in a position to
test it's efficacy you'll remember this
trip and conversation. The doubt
ers in the smoker looked skeptical,
but the earnestness of the medical
mineralogist gave weight to his re-
markably simple remedy. Pittsburg

A Mean Man.


Gigsley has often been told that he
was the meanest man in the world.
In fact, he has 'red-headed sister
and couldn't well escape being told
so. but many of his friends doubted
until he was married. They all be-
lieve it now. Mrs. Gigsley is one Of
the dearest, loveliest, most innocent,
trusting, affectionate creatures that
ever longed for strong, manly bo-
som to rest upon. They were mar
ried two weeks ago, and, as Gigsley
doesn't believe in wedding tours, they
began housekeeping Immediately out
on the avenue. The second day of
their welded bliss had passed, and
Gigsley had just finished the supper,
which Mrs. G. had spent all the long,
torrid afternoon in preparing, when
he took his hat and cane, kissed the
little woman tenderly, and started
out for the door. "Why, Charley,
YOU aren't going out, are you?" said
the sweet creature, with tremor in
her voice. "Why-yes, was the
rather unconcerned reply. aAnd
leave me all alone?" A suspicious
moisture of the eyes accompanied
this appeal. ooh, I won't be gone
long" he answered reassuringly. "Tm

CHICAGO, July 23.-Van Buren,, the
jack rabbit, captured the $4,000 Wheeler
handicap at Washington Park today in
2:06. of which the first mile was covered
in 1898. A fine field of eleven started,
Joe Blackburn being favorite and Sem

Kendall stables had entered but
scratched the mighty 70 Tambien. and
decided to run only Van Buren,. TIE
latter at once rushed to the front and
won without being headed, but he was
very tired at the end. Joe Blackburn
was held back too long by Overton, but
his burst through the stretch was mag
nificent. He landed second and would
have won i'll another fifty yards. Corri-
gan's Ethel was good third and Ho-
mer's splendid squirt landed him fourth.
Semper Rex was never dangerous.

weather, with a lightning track and an
attendance of 1900. In the six races

Eastern races. AS soon as the decision
was announced the mayor forbade the
issuance of license to the association
and the chief of police gave notice that
he would suppress all pool selling on
the course. The managers announce
that they will. nevertheless, open their
summer meeting Monday and that adj
mission to the grounds will be free.
Judge Horton, in giving his decision,
sets forth the salient points in the claim
OF the club, and reviews the position in
which the chief of police was placed by
the granting of the injunction. He
continues:
1t is alleged that for the chief of po-
lice to interfere is to interfere
with vested rights. these vested
rights being leases worth $4,000
per annum, in which the COM
plainant is limited in the use of the
grounds. l don't think that it is valid
argument. The expenditure of any
sum, no matter how, for the purpose of
violating the law does not justify fur
Their expenditures in violation of the
law. Gambling in some forms seems to
be national vice. 1t is not confined to
the race track and public gambling, but
it is everywhere.
If we are to credit the daily reports in
the public prints of embellishments,
no question that these can be traced to
gambling as their cause. Why, my fel-
low judges have often told me that
many of the bailtfs of the court of this
| county have entered Garfield Park on
| the strength of the influence their
badges OF authority carried, and left
half their yearly salaries there. If that
| is true the proper officials should see to
| 1t that it is stopped at once; and if that
is not gambling, what is it?
| 1t is further argued that this is not
gambling but that is necessary to in
| duce breeders to improve their breed of
animals. Unless large premiums are
offered, it is claimed, there will he no
improvements in the breeds. | cannot
see it that way. Running horses in the
mud or snow is not to improve the
breed OF horses. 1t Is simply for the
purpose of gambling. [ understand
that pools are not only sold on this
track, but for r:ceS on other tracks all
over the country. How does that i'm
| prove the breed of horses in Illinois?
1t is claimed also that multiplicity
of suits will result if this injunction is
| dissolved. Ii the Garfield Park club
| sees tit to violate the law many times,
| this is no excuse. From any standpoint
| l view this case l am or the opinion
that it turns upon the question whether
| there has been any violations Of the
law. My conclusion is that the law has
been violated and that the law is against
this gambling. This court cannot in
terfere with the authorities in the dis
charge of their duty. and the injunction
is therefore dissolved

The following table shows the game
won and lost thus far:
Yesterdays Games.

The afternoon game introduced two
scratch men for the first time in the
series, and 1t was natural that the eX'
element was at fever heat. The strug-
gle was between young Foley, who had
won two games, and Estes, who had
won one and lost one. Foley was mani
testify in the best form. and he has
an advantage over Estes be-
cause of his peculiar adaptation
to draw strokes. Estes plays strong
cushion carrOm game, but he is weak
on draw shots. and the latter are the
most useful of any shots, because they
are more certain to keep the balls in
control of the performer. Foley won
the game in thirty-One innings, scoring
100 points to Estes 81. Foley's high
run was 80, and Estes was only 8.
In the evening Charley Glow won
struggle. Will Summers was his adj
versary. He started in at killing pace,
aud had he maintained his speed to the
end he would have won as certain as

Summers clicked off fine bill
lizards and soon had dis
couraging lead. Then Glow seemed
to gather his second wind. as it were,
and he won 100 to Summers II. Claws

was really a game without especial
features, although interesting, for
Glow made some astonishingly fine
shots to take the curse off some of his

Some years ago the Duke of yelling

when door opened, and, without any

short and dry manner, looking up with
out the slightest change of countenance
upon the intruder.
