SYSTEMATIC HOUSEWORK.
Business Methods Are Necessary in Il
Household.

Business Methods Are Necessary in the
Household.
One of the greatest hindrances to an
Improvement in domestic lahor is the
want of business methods among mis-
tresses who engage servants. The girl
is generally engaged to come, and has
but the faintest idea in the world what
are to be her specific duties She judges
of the methods of her new mistress by
the methods of her last one, which are
often Numerically different.
Before engaging servant the daily
duties which are required of her should
be carefully gone over. She should be
told plainly and clearly just what will
be expected of her. what day out she
will have and what wages she will re-
ceive. She should be engaged on trial
for week. On no account should the
routine of her duties be interfered
with except on the occasion of
some serious accident in the family.
1t is the common thing for careless
households TO put back the washing
day for the weather or change the iron
ing day or regular cleaning day; but
this IS a mistake that is fatal to the or
der of the housework The stitches OF
work. thus dropped are not easily picked
up. There must be a daily routine of
work laid out in every hoxsehoid-a sys-
tematic sweeping and cleaning day for
certain rooms. ii cleaning day for the
kitchen and for sweeping around the
kitchen door If the work is nethodic-
ally laid out the mistress of the house
can easily see that it Is done.
II. on the contrary. there is no speci-
fed time for doing the work and the
maid OF all work Is called off at odd
times 20 do various out-of-the-way
things. her lot Is a most deplora bic one,
and the London term of slavery best
describes her position. On the
other hand. girl whose daily
tasks are laid ont for her. and
who knows she can SIT down and
rest or sew for herself when they are
done. Is much more likely 10 do her
work punctualIv and well. The great
Objection which girls ordinarily have
to kitchen work and il is reasona bIe
onel Is that their duties are ne-er done.
In too many houses the mistress claims
the time Of the maid every moment she

cooIIy pusned suralgnr: forward into
what might be called the mouth of the
gully-straight on past the point where
the venturesome troopers. had been
fattened out a short time before.
In an instant, it seemed to me. the
ciump of bushes at the upper end began
| to spit fire like Fourth of July mine.
A blue cloud of sulphur smoke hung
over the Indians burrow. The clatter
of rife shots was like that of Calling
gun Several soldiers dropped in their
tracks along the grassy slopes.
Jim White, one of our best scouts and
a great friend of Buffalo Bill, gave
one CHASTITY cry: ''Oh my God, boys"
clasped his hands to his heart and
plunged forward on his face, stone
dead.
Keeling back from the sudden shock,
our men at the moment scattered right
and left, for we had struck formidable
ambush Not vestige of an Indian
could we see; yet that scooped-out
shelter of theirs was evidently crammed
with them.
myself was over on the right bank
at the time, and ducl1ed with amazing
promptitude when that storm of FIRE
and lead burst on US. Ny next
thought, when found myself unhurt,
was for Clark. We had been warm
friends from our cadet days at West
Point, and my heart was in my mouth
with fear for him.
There he stood, just where had seen
l.. Iof
quiet smile on his face, never bending,
never swerving, if anything rising
higher on tiptoe, as though striving to
peer into those dark, fre-fashing
depths up the gully.
Mechanically he was thrustlng an
other cartridge into the breech of his
rife. Bang! bang! went the Indian
guns. Whiz. zip! spat the bullets.
Down, Clark! Down. shouted doz-
ems of voices in tones of agonized
dread
Come out of that, Philo, for Heav-
ems sake!'' yelled second cavalryman
close beside me. But just as placidly
and unconcernedly as he would have
strolled into his troop stables, smiling
the while at the CONSERVATION he was
creating, even finding time for half
laughing rejoinder to the appeal of a
comrade from our side, Clark pushed
ahead until he could peer in through the
veil of smoke. raised his rifle, aimed
and fired.
Then, as coolly, he..motioned: "Come
on! Come on!''
1t was too much for the crowd. Ev-
erybody seemed to make a simultaneous
dash then. In vain the hidden Indians
fred and strove to sweep the ravine.
A moment more and brave old Capt.
Munson leaped in from one side and

terrified squaws. Other willing hands

Indian children, SO as to get the women
and pappooses out of harms way be-
fore closing accounts with the warriors.
Then, finding their ''non-combat-
ants" kindly treated, instead of being
slaughtered, as would have been the
case had we been the besieged, the
Sioux called out for quarter and surren
dered. One old villain who went by
the name of American Horse was al
ready shot through the body and past

called himself Charging Bear, subse-
quently became an Indian scout in our

others were kept as prisoners until we
got to the agency at Red Cloud.

Gallant fellcw! He became a captain
a few years later, and was serving in

peace, security, and in the very prime

no girl is likely to have much time after

usually have several hours when she

man women, who are most industrious
in saving spare moments, always keep
a little crochet work or simple sewing
on hand in the kitchen, and while they
are waiting for pot to boil or the fire
to come up, they pick up their handi-

they accomplish in time which is ordi-

You'd Better Cherish Him.

There are husbands who arc pretty,
There are husbands who are witty
There are husbands who in public are smiling
as the morn;
There are husbands who are healthy,
There are husbands who are wealthy,
But the real angelic husband. well, he's never
yet been borui
Some for strength Of love are noted,
Who are really so devoted
That whene'er their wives absent they are
lonesome and forlorn;
And while now and then you'll find one
Who's fairly good and kind one,
Yet the real angelic husband, Oh he's never yet
been bornl
So the woman who is mated
To the man who may be rated
AS pretty fair, should cherish him forever and
a day.
For the real angelic creature,
Perfect, quite in every feature
ole has never been discovered and he won't be,
SO they say.

A Bachelors Opinion.


There are women who are comely.
There are women who are homely
But be careful how the latter thing you say;
There are women who are healthy,
There are women who are wealthy,
There are women who will always have their
way.
There are women who truthful,
There are women who are youthful
Was there ever any woman that was Old!
There are women who are sainted,
There are women who are painted,
There are women who are worth their weight
in gold.
There are women who are tender.
There are women who are slender,
There are women very large and fat and red:
There are women who are married,
There are women who have tarried,
There are women who are talkleSs-but they're
dead.

Staring aghast as on the ground

Her voice regained, in accents chill
She gasps: I'm thank you If you will

The Calm That Comes at Evening.

Tho Calm That Comes at Evening"
There's calm that comes at evening
When the weary day is DER,
That as soothing as the lullaby
Our mothers sang of yore:
And though the day be dreary,
can just forget 1t all,
In the calm that comes at evening,
When the twilight shadows fall
/ can see my sweetheart's signal
From her waving window blinds:
can feel her perfumed presence
Waited to me on the winds;
When hush nay heart to hear her,
can almost understand
Her sweet welcome in the wimple
OF the wind-wave from her hand
When she laughs it's like the music
OF the rippleS on the rillS,
And her breath is like the fragrance
OF the flowers that deck the hills.
And, though the day be dreary,
can just forget il all,
In the calm that comes at evening,
When the twilight shadows fall.

The myriad mist-folk march.
And yoncer-lo, the sun!

The birds sing at the door,

A Curiosity In Public Houses.

A little public house, in which the land
lord and his customers have a curious ex-
perience, stand on the boundary line d.
viding the townships Of Darwen and o.
w%aldtwistle. Lancashire. The boundary
limo runs directly through the center of
tho hostelry, and as there are public rooms
on either side Of the passage two licenses
ars necessary. h publican ia compelled
to. closesthe Darwen side of the house ut
10 o'clock every night, according to the
.cnnditipns of his license, but the Oswald
twistle license allows him to keep his
door open until II o'clock. In order not
to lay himself oren to II prosecution by
Darssen. therefore, tho landlord, when
tho clock chimes 10, eompeis his custom
ers to remove from the Darwen to the
Oswuldtwistle side OF the house and shuts
the doors Of the early closing portion. II
Is stated by the landlord that he qualities
himself for voting in both townships by
fixing his bed directly over the boundary
