A housewife Of the East end con-
cluded that the only solution of the
servant-girl problem was 70 teach a
green girl herself. She had experience
with girls who thought they knew
something, with no success According
ly she engaged girl from the country
who professed TO know nothing, and
commenced training her. One Of tho
new servants duties was to attend the
door. and the lady of the house tried "a
many ways to impress upon her mind
the necessity OF taking tray or salver
with her when she answered the bell 20

afternoon the bell rang and shortly
afterward the servant appeared at her

beach. Before it fed brace of STUN

oaths and supplications to the Virgin

its wrinlsled tanks; smoke came in puffs
from its jaws; it gave out continuous

reptile dragged itself; not forty yards

Secretly O'Massey and Lady Emily

foolish joke upon the local superstition;

ANTS IN FLORIDA.
More OF Them There Than In Any other
Part Of the World.

More OF Them There Than In Any Other
Part of the World.
There are more ants to the square
mile in Florida than in any other coun.
try in the world, says writer in the
Savannah News. There are ants which
will measure more than half an inch
in length. and then there are ants sc
small that they can scarcely be seen to
move with the unaided eye. There are
red ants and black ants, and trouble
some ants. But as bad as they are,
have never heard of them eating out
the seat of a mans trousers, as mis-.
sionary, Rev. Mr.. Wilson. once told the
writer he saw the army ants doin India
while the man was sitting on theesrth
for few minutes beside him.
But the Florida ants viii take out
the lettuce and other minute seeds
from the soil in which they are planted
and actually destroy the bed. They
will suck the life out of acres of young
cucumbers and melon plants, uproot
strawberry plants or cover the buds
with earth to such an extent as to kill
them. They will get into pie, pickle,
sauce, sirup. sugar, on meat. in hash,
will riddle cake or fill loaf of
bakers bread till it is worthless. All
remedies falling, l took to batting
them near their nests with slices of
meat, bones, apple and pear parings,

1t is very curious and instructive to
see how promptly the ants which es-

WHAT VANDERBILT LIKED.

The Doughnuts and Indian Puddings He
Had Cooked for Him In Newport.
Down in Newport the other day this
anecdote of the late William X. Van
derbilt was told: 1.-THE husband of a
woman, who for many years annually
helped the housekeeper at the Wander
built summer house pack the goods
which 1t was intended to take back
to the winter home. said he went down
to the Vanderbilt place to meet his wife
one day, and as he was coming away
Mr.. Vanderbilt came out on the lawn
and stopped him, saying: Do you
know where can get q good cook for
four weeks? l am going to stay here
month longer. and the cook is going to
leave tomorrow. Can't you get me
one?'
81 said didn't know. would try,
and then Mr.. Vanderbilt said: 4 don't
want any French, fancifed cook. I'm
going to be here almost by myself, and
things. Eve been just longing for
some Indian pudding. some doughnuts
and cheese. and some brown bread
knew where there was an old cook, and
although she had given up the business
/ got her to go for the month. She
said she got orders to cook all old-style
things One day she told me Mr.. Van
derbilt sent for her, she went in. and
he said: DO you know how to make
doughnuts?' She said she did. and
then he said he wished he could have
some such as his mother used to make.
Then he said he wanted an old
fashioned Indian pudding. with that
smber-colored jelly all round the out
side of it. He used to invite other
elderly men to come to oine with him
and would praise it ali, and ask them if
it didn't make them think of old times.
"Said the Newport man: One day |
met Mr.. Vanderbilt again, just as he
was about to leave for New York for
the winter, and he said: TIM much

ARITHMETIC.

In schooldays twas arithmetic
That often made me sad;
The dreadful row Of figures dreaS
That simply wouldn't addl
The algebra, if anything.
Had greater power to vex,
For q, and b, and c. and d,
Refused to equal Z
And now, sober housewife grown,
That troublous algebra
Seems easy in the light Of SUNNI
wrestle with to-day:
A money minus. and plus
OF growing wants, refuse
To balance IS want them to,
But equal what they choose.
It makes deep wrinkles on our b1owA
And brings gray hairs to view,
This problem-how q dollar bill
Can do the work of two;
For turn and twist it as we may
Becoming sleepless wrecks
The answer-ah, how many times
It fails to equal Il
The doctors may talk lesrnedlN
And settle as they please,
About the many victims claimed
BY this or that disease;
Ny firm belief is that largo
Per cent Of people sick,
Are suffering from the sad complaint
I call arithmetic.

HE WILL NOT PAY.
Tie Controversy About
Conduits.
Spring Valley Should Pay When TeIe-
phone Conduits Are Moved to
Make Hydrant Connections.

John /. Sabin. president of the Pacific
Bell Telephone Company, appeared before
the Fire Com mittee of the Board of Super
visorS yesterday.
He was there to protest against the board
compelling his company to pay for the
raising or lowering of the conduits of his
company when hydrant connections were
made with the Spring Valley mains.
Some time ago the Board of Fire Com
missioners sent 4 Communication to the
Board of Supervisors, stating that on
Market street the conduits of the tele-
phone company are laid between the
water mains and the sidewalks. and pre-
vent the proper setting of MIGRANTS. 1t
WAS requested that measures be taken to
compel the telephone company 20 so place
their conduits hat they will not interfere
with the placing OF hydrants for fire pur-
poses.
In accordance with the request of
the Fire Commissioners a resolution
was prepared directing the Fire Com
mlssi0nefs to make all hydrant con-
nectlons with the mains of the Spring
Valley Water Works; and if prevented
from so doing by the cOnduts of any other
company whose pipes interfere TO notify
such company to Ell Their raise or lower them
and II said notice is not complied with
within five DAYS then to proceed to remove
or cut through said pipes or cOnduits to
make the proper hydrant connections.
Inc resolution has not yet been presen ted
to the board. and is only being discussed.
President Sabin said that if the electric
condults had to be raised, lowered or
moved the water company should pay the
cost. II the telephone company wanted
to make connections to get patron it was
always willing to pay the expenses entailed.
Spring Valley should do the same.
Chief Sullivan OF the Fire Department
stated that bends should lot be used as it
reduced the pressure of the water, and the
cOnduits had to be moved
Supervisor Dundon stated that il was
not question Of Spring Valley paving.
The city had a contract with the company
by which hydrants were furnished at a
stipulated price. If there were any other
charges the city would be compelled 20 paw.
MCbairman Goodwin finally appointed
supervisors Day and Dundon and Chief
| Sullivan as a committee to look into the
matter ana make a report at the next
| meeting. al which represen tatves Of the
Spring Valley Water Works and the tele
phone company will ba present
The committee referred che petition of
property-OWners for additional protection
from fire at Ocean View 10 the Board of
Fire Commissioners, with the suggestion
that said board recommend the location of
chemical engine in that section 1T the
city, and also requesting the Spring Valley
! Water Company to lay suitable mains to
