It Takes Six In Guatemala to Do the Work
OF One Girl Here.
The American woman, when she

doesn't know when she is well off. If
she could spend year at housekeeping
In Guatemala she would come back to
the United States and pass the rest of
her life in peace and contentment, SAYS
the New York Journal
In Guatemala the servants are either
Indians or half-breeds. They will live
on black beans and tortillas, and as to
wages, they are content for a month
with what servant girl receives here.
But no American housexeeper would
feel inclined to charge servant board.
You hire Guatemala woman, for in
stance, as a cook. Then you must hire
a man to keep the fire going. If he is
away, the cook will let her fire go out
Boomer than debase her dignity by put
ting on more fuel. A third servant
must be furnished to put the crude
articles of food into shape for handling,
by the cook. A fourth is needed to do.
nll the carrying. Still another must
do the dish washing.
Altogether, half-dozen servants are
needed to get an ordinary breakfast for
three or four persons. A bright, in.
telligent, sturdy servant in this coun-
try would accomplish the same feat all
by herself in an hour or less. It is
comparatively Inexpensive to maintain
household of twelve or fifteen SER
wants in Guatemala, but they are ter,
rible trial to an American woman.

Youngest Sons Favored.

''If one looks about him almost any
where in Maine" says an observing res
ldent of that state, he will find that
in the matter Of descent of property we
have unconsciously put in force or have
effected just the opposite of the Eng
lish rule Of primogeniture. Where
there are a number of children in a
family it is almost always the young
est son that stays with the old folks
and inherits the homestead. Where
live | can point out dozens of such in
stances in the families know, and I
cannot now recall single Instance
where any other than the youngest was
preferred. OF course this results from
the disposition of the older boys to seek
their fortunes away from the parental
roof tree. as soon as they are old
enough, while the younger, with tho
others gone, finds room enough for his
activities at home, and stays there. AS
distinguished from the old world
method this may be called ultimogeni-
ture"

In the opinion of the ST. Paul Globe
the baseball season this year has been
the poorest ever known. In none of
the western cities has the attendance
paid expenses, while in the east, al
though greater interest is maintained,
the returns have been far less than
heretofore. 1t is very evident that
the days when fortunes were made out
of seasons work by ball club are

either better playing or change of

tional game, for the nation has re-
