The item of wages opens up the
whole question OF servants and do.
nestle home rule One need only re-
fer to the monthly reviews and maya
zines to see that here we have indeed
a chronic subject for discussion. The
professional philanthroplst, the en-
lightened and benevolent peeress,
the lady journalist, even Sarah Jane
herself, all have Il word to say. Our
own experience | can give very
shortly. There has been, on the
whole, very little trouble except
with the cooks. Wages have run on
an average as follows Nurse, e20;
cook, els to go; house parlormaid,
ZIG.
When the life and income Of a do
nestle servant is compared with that
of many a girl in business, or even
with that Of many working men, am
prepared to say that she is exceeding
ly we'll off and, if thrifty, could very
soon save 9100. Servants are often
very good to their relatives and
friends, and can be taught to save
money but it is idle to blink the fact
that a great deal Of their wages goes
upon their backs in the shape OF I'M
suitable tlnery. Putting all this
aside, what can you get for a wages
budget of &54? Well, you can, with
luck, get we'll served in every depart
ment except the kitchen. "God sends
the food, but the devil sends the

The difficulty is mainly this--the
impossibility of getting plain cook
to cook plain things we'll every day.
She will boast Of her pastry and
"ongtrays," but If you ask her to cook
a chop or fry a potato properly, it is
too often utterly beyond her. and as
rule she is above being taught. The
hiddle-class breadwinner can in Lon
don be certain at a hundred restau-
rants, or at his club, of getting a re-
past of three courses eXcellently
cooked and presented to him at a
moderate cost The same certainly
cannot be had at home. My own eX-
PLANTATION is a very simple one. The
British plain cook does not consider,
in the first place, that her employers
are entitled to have food at all bet
ter prepared than she herself knows
how to prepare it, This knocks on
the head any idea of teaching her the
ART. She simply listens to her mis-
tress with silent contempt and ig-
nores her plain directions. That is
one phase Of the cook dificulty.-The

Horso Incidents at IIuIl Run.

At the battle of Bull Run, one of the
guns of the celebrated Sherman Bat
terry was rescued from capture by the
Confederates, and brought off the field
that had been shot through by MIME
balls. When the order, forward, was
given, they resolutely Strengthened
out, and actually brought off the gun.
At the commencement of the battle,
Lieutenant Hasbrouck, of the West
Point Battery, was riding little sor-
rel horse. In short time he was shot
three times, and from loss of blood be-
came too weak for further service.
He was stripped of bride and saddle
and turned loose, as his owner sup
posed, to die. In the heat of the con-
test nothing more was thought of the
little sorrel, nor was he seen again I'M
til the remnant of the battery was far
toward Washington ON the retreat. 1t
paused at Centerville, and while rest
ing there, Lieutenant Hasbrouck was
delighted to be joined by his faithful
horse, which, by strong instinct, had
obeyed the bugle call to retreat, and
had found his true position with the
battery, which was more than the
most of the human mass engaged on
that field could boast of doing. He
went safely into Washington, recov-
cred from his wounds, and was soon
ready for another fight.

Then it is the work of thousands of
clerks to take care Of and write the
orders for the whole Of Uncle Sans
realm. OF late years the use of bank
checks and drafts has come into great
favor, the method being more con-
venient, less expensive, and for the
most part safe.
This doubtless led Mr.. Post to the
solution of the money-order question,
as his idea bears a striking resem-
blance to the bank check system.
According to the new plan, the

An EXnerf TrniIcr.

All who have been on the frontier
have heard of the remarkable faculty
of Pedro Espinosa, the famous Next
can trailer, whose powers border up
on the mythical. General Dodge tells
the following story Of an experience
with this remarkable man, which
will give a good idea of what an eX-
pert trailer can do
81 was once sent in pursuit of a
party of numbering Comanches, who
had been pursued, scattered and the
trail abandoned by a company of So
called Texas Rangers. On the eighth
day after the scattering, Espinosa
took the trail after single shod
horse, When we were fairly into the
rough, rocky Guadalupe Mountains,
he stopped, dismounted, and picked
up from the foot of tree the four
shoes of the horse ridden by the In
dian. With a grim smile, he handed
them to me, and informed me that
the Indian intended to hide his
trail.
"For six days we jOUrneyed over
the toughest mountains, turning and
twisting in apparently the most OBJ
jectless way, not man in the whole
command being able to discover,
sometimes for hours, a single mark
by which Espinosa might direct
himself, Sometimes lost patience,
and demanded that he show me what
he was following. POGO tempo Gn
a short time) he would blandly an
swer, and, in a longer or shorter
time, show nae the clear-cut foot
prints of the horse in the soft bank
Of a mountain stream, or point with
his long, wiping stick to other most
unmistakable sign Following the
devious windings of this trail for
nearly one hundred and fifty miles,
and only once or twice dismounting
more closely to examine the ground,
he finally brought me to where the
Indians had reunited"

and dangerous during our stay at this
point from March to June, and as the
season was very wet and heavy rains
prevailed, what with the strict disci-
pline and the hard duty many of the
men and officers became sick, and the
regiment and company much reduced
in number. The men were obliged to
go on picket duty every other night,
and often two or three nights in sue
cession.
About the end of March when our
ranks were depleted, the guerrilla
raids were the worst, and our pickets
were frequently found shot at their
posts. Early one morning, just at day
break, as l was making the rounds, l
heard the report of gun in the direc-
ton of one Of the most exposed posts,
Fastening to the spot was Mortified
to find John B, one of my best
men, sitting at the foot of big tree
sound asleep, with his gun in his lap,
and rebel guerrilla about 500 feet
distant taking deliberate aim and firing
ut him. 1t was his second shot, the
first having shot away Johns cap,
which he had placed over his forehead,
The second shot passed through his
overcoat below the heart, but this and
my shouting woke him up. The rebel
was now loading his gun for the third
time. John had jumped to his feet,
and realizing his position, took DELHI
crate aim at the rebel. The muskets
were discharged simultaneously and
the rebel fell where he stood, dead
man. His bullet passed over our
head. John cody remarked: "He
wont wake me up again"
John was dead shot and an excel
lent soldier, but he loved his sleep.
The firing attracted the reserve guards
and crossed the creek to where the
rebels stood, hoping to capture the
guerrilla's companions, but they had
decamped, taking their dead comrade
with them, In my report | only men
toned the killing of the guerrilla.
Sleeping on post on picket duty is an
offense severely punished, sometimes
with death, and therefore on account
Of Johns good record kept the mat
ter profound secret. Strange to say,
John B served through the war,
was in many battles, and came home
without scratch. "A. G.. Hairy.

with the red tape Of the present sys-
TEN, is more convenient, less eXpen-

without actual experience, is perfect

in the mind Of c. q, Post, Of Battle

scheme to the Washington authori-
ties short time ago.
The different methods at present
resorted to for sending small sums
through the mails are well known.

Tanning A Bull.

"Fear will often subdue the most
vicious and ferocious animal and II

element they are apt to show their
appreciation ever arterward," re-
marked George s Turrell, Of Farm
ington, Conn, at the Lacledo last
night. II once owned bull who
seemed to haYc a particular antipathy
toward every one that approached
him | had to keep him constantly
chained in a she'd with a ring in
n 8 nose. Every time any one would
approach him he would act in most
violent manner paving the ground,
shaking his chain and believing furi-
ously,
zone day there occurred u terrible
thunder storm. 1t hailed violently,
and the thunder and lightning were
incessant The bull, who was some
what exposed In the open shed, could
be heard believing with terror. On
going out to see what | could do to
GU ct him. | found the poor brute
trembling with fright, and he did not
seem to he at all irritated at my APP
proach, as heretofore, The gristle
of his nose had nearly been torn
through by his struggles to get free,
When approached him he became
quiet, and actually allowed me tC
unite him and lead him into the barn
without making the least hostile de
munstration. From that day his
ferocity entirely disappeared, and he
remained as docile as a lamb. "-St
