England Freer than America.

To the Editor:
Smoky Hollow" wants TO know what English
know about . free country. Well. English
men consider that they live In the frsest country
In the world. and they are not alone In this opin-
ION. Max oRsli. the Frenchman. who was not
particularly friendly towards England, as some OF
his writings show. has over and over again as
serted that ENGLAND was = freer country than
America. Within the past week Mr.. Cot and the
Rev Or. Macarthur have made practically the
same remark. Queen Victoria has nothing what
ever to do with making laws for the English peo-
pis She has less power than the President. and
rsisns. but does not rule. The idea that Repub-
lie must necessarily be freer than even 4 limited
monarchy 10 shown to be false In the OF
France, where men are forced to serve in the
army whether they want to or not. while In Eng
land service is purely voluntary. And the less we
hear In New York Of that parrot-cry Of freedom
while under the rule Of King Croker and
the Tammany regime the better.

he expected to walt before the municipal
authorities learn how to dispose of the
citys garbage? Other cities, great and
small In Europe and in this country
have long since learned that garbage
could be disposed OF not only without

Yet New York Is apparently as far
away as ever from any scheme Of scien-

Col. Hahn says. OF the recent reduc-

This Is not strictly true. The reductions
are nccessitated only by the evident

keep the accommodations OF the line

The Inscription In the Fly Leaf.

Christmas, lSSS,' or To my dear. darling wife, on her twenty fifth birthday, from her devoted husband.

Gent" Is Not Modern Slang.

The word gent" nowadays seems to wear its hat cooked on one side of the head and to walk with caddish swaggcr of vulgar self importance, but I know a worthy old lady in the country who calls her husband the "old gent" using it as u title of respect, and such 1t was in her childhood and long before. In 1154 the Rev. Samuel Davies, afterward president of Princeton college, travelling in Eng land. describes the Rev. Dr. Lardner as "a little pert old gent" cpithcts that would not bc flattering to a minister to- day nor even dignificd for n minister to Use. Pert here has the sense of live ly," much as n Kcntuckian might use ''prart. or Il New Highlander 'perk. In deed l suspect that Davies gave the word the sound of ''pcart.' That Tsvics used gent a term of respect is shown by his characterization of another reverend doctor as n venerable, humble and affec- tionatc old gent" It will not do, there forr, to account q word recent because of its slangincss. When n smoker professes fondncSs for the weed, " he does not dream that he is using m cpithet applied to to- bacco by King James in 1920, and that nearly 200 years earlier than James, in the reign of Edward ", the hop plant just coming into England was called the wicked weed" What plal had worn this title of contempt bcfOrc. the hop do not know.-Edward Egglcston in Cen fnrv

HOW TO TREAT A SERVANT.
If She [. Good One. she I- Worth
 Keeping.

 If She f> Good One, She l. Worth
 Keeping.
 Perfection is not to be met with il any class of life. Therefore we must bt ready to make due allowance for little shortcomings of all kinds on the part oi those who serve us, and particularly when we consider that they havo proba bly, not had the influence and help of n good woman at tho age when all girls need it-when their characters are form ing. Be firm. vet gentle. when dealing with your servants and never find fault with them unless there k q good reason to do so. Then temper your rcproache: with justice. If you havo any cause {, be vexed with them, wait until tho vcx ation has passed before referring to tn, subject.
 It Is great thing to gain an intlu ence over our servants, and to do this we must let them feel that we take ar interest in them. and that while they ar, under our roof they may always count upon advice and help from us in any little trouble Or difficulty. There is [ vast difference between a right ana friendly spirit of this kind and undue familiarity. The latter should never be permitted for n moment. for if the so cial barrier. however unrecognized il may be, is once removed their respect for us will be gone, and without this il is impossible for house mother |, manage her maids we'll.
 Every employer should, as matter oi duty, regard the health and happiness of her servants. There is a vast amount of monotony in their round of daily work, and it Is only fair that they should be allowed n reasonable amount of liberty for recreation. Girls who have situations in the country generally get more opportunities of going out, if only into the garden, than those in town. An outing once n week is not sufficient tc keep the latter in good health and spir- its. particularly if their work lies in the kitchen.
 Besides the regular evening q week, q thoughtful mistress can often, without inconveniencing any one, find an oppor. tunity for sparing n maid for an hour ol so, or even sending her out to do an CT. rand, and servants should be allowed tC have a woman friend to tea occasional. ly. It is trifiing things like these that make girls feel more at home in theil situations, and they settle down and work better and are more contented ill ( place where they are not made to fee the reins of government at every turn.

THE VAST SOLAR SYSTEM.
The Sun Would Be Hardly Visible Along
 side of the Pleiades-

The Sun Would Be Hardly Visible Along
 side of the Pieiades-
 If our sun were removed to the Pleiades, 1t would hardly be visible in an opera glass, with which nearly loo stars can be seen In the cluster. sixty or seventy Pleiades surpass our sun in brillianCy, Alcyone be- ing 600 times norc brilliant, Electra 500 times and Maia nearly iOU. Sirius Itself takes n subordinate rank when compared with the five most brilliant members of q group the real magnificcnce of which We can thus in some degree apprehend.
 If wo seek to know the dimensions of the cluster itself, we arc met with many difficulties, but on the assumption that it is approximately spherical in shape we can calculate its diameter to be over 10, o0O, 900, 900 miles. If we think of the dirncn- sions of our solar system by themselves or in relation to terrestrial matter. they ap- pear stupendOusly enormous. Neptune, the most distant known member, has an orbit over ,, OO0. O00, OOU miles across, but the solar system is to the Plciades but a Lilliputian to n Brobdingnagian, is but as n miCrobc to n mountain, for n sphere the size of the solar system would, ii it were spherical and its diameter that of the or bit of Neptune, be relatively so minute that it could be contained moro than 100, 0O0, GOO, OO0 times in sphcrc the size of the Pieiadcs. In other words. the limits of the Pleiadcs could contain ljO solar sys- tens as many times over as therc are miles between Neptune and the sun.
 It must not be forgotten that, though there arc ., 300 stars in the cluster, yet with such dimensions for the entire group vast distances must separate the stars from one another. In fact. J. 3OO spheres, each with n diameter uf 5000, OOU. 900 miles, hs .l to the group, and assuming equal distri- button of the stars in the group each would be at the center of n sphere 5, OO0. UUO, uOO miles across, and therefore Il light journey of lS1 days from its nearest neighbOr.- Longman's Magazine.

Hnu tn Make .Prnmise." !"

To make promises mix together an egg. ounces of sugar. three-quartcrs of a pound of butter. When thoroughly mixed, add pound of sifted flour. Stir this until all is smooth. then add half a cupful of sherry wine or Jamaica rum. The dough should be the consistency of soft putty. Lay large lump in n large biscuit pan and press it out with the hand to cover the tin as evenly as poSsi- ble, not more than n quarter of an inch thick. and less if you can. This may seem troublesome. but if you keep a little dry four to dip your hand in it will be easy. Sift over the fiattened dough some powdered sugar and ground cinnamon.
 Bake in a moderate oven until the edges are brown and the rest n paleyel- low. Take the pan from the oven and cut quickly from end to end, and then cross in strips. Use n sharp knife and lift the cakes very carefully, as they break easily. Lay on a platter. They will harden as they cool. These little cakes are delicious with tea or coffee and should be served on cut paper in n light, careless pile.

Marriage Cersmony-FinIAnd.

Marriage fetes in Finland, as in Nor way. arc often prolonged for several days. even among folk of humble rank. One Dc culiarity. which may excite more surprise than approval among eligible suitors in our own country, Is that the Finnish lover never himself pops the question: to the girl of his choice. The momentous pro posal is made through a third person, called the ''talman," to whom the happy couple give a present when his delicate mediation proves successful and ends in a wedding. Not uncommonly their gift 10 the talman takes the unromantic form of a shirt
 In like manner the clergyman who pre- sides over the nuptial service receives a simple and inexpensive present. often a handkerchief and a pair of warm hair gloves. X similar gift is bestowed upon the officiating priest at funerals Upon these mnurnful occasions the service Is ex- cecSiingly simplc-Inore % than would sat- isfy the views of British undertakcrs- but the burial is. as a rule, followed by largc hospitality on the part of the bcrnaved family y.-wcstminster Review.

 The gentleman who taught Prince Bis marck Russian has been giving his recol- iections of his astute pupil. One deliver ancc Of his is especially noteworthy. Upon the professor complimentfng the prince upon his cigars the latter replied: Good cigars arc the best friend of the diplomat. The best dinner that ever was cooked would leave a bad impression if followed by bad cigars" This latter statement seems unnecessary, for surely no host wor- thy of the name would make such an CT TOT. It would be indeed spelling the ship for Q pound of tar;" but, as regards the eu- logium on tobacco, how true it is!
 Not only diplomats, but men of business have cause to speak highly of 1t. It makes intercourse easy from the first, gives the talk a friendly tone and facilitates agree- ment. Here in England this has only be- gun to be understood. In old fashioned houses in the city the weed Is still tabooed as being something bohemian and disre- spectable. But by the younger establish .ments and among the junior partners of we'll understood.

The advantages of the business cigar arc various It predisposes the mind to agreement, avoids awkward pauscs and deprives silence of antagonism.
