avoid drinking anything TIL you

mouth will water for something,

be cured Of Il nuisance second only to

to the tobacco habit. This is writ

yield TO nothing but our swallowing
the copious flow Of saliva that at

failed TO give relief, we inferred that

in less than a week we were free
from all the evil effects OF tobacco,
and have not teen troubled with
heartburn since. Word and Work.

SUBMARINE earthquakes doubtless

NJ. Nordenskiold, in his voyage in

inhabitants Of the shore, and the
Reindeer Chukchs OF the interior.
The latter were better clothed and
in better circumstances. Both showed
a kindness to their animals unusual
in 'mi-savage peoples. The Coast

THE revelation that some Of the
Michigan railroads are carrying no
brakemen on their passenger trains
is a most startling one. The worst
Of the matter is that the Governor
says there is no law TO COMPEL the
roads TO give the public both the
safety and the assurance OF safety
which the brakemen are supposed TO
give. The Westinghouse air brake is
a great invention, and has made the
best of all contributions to the safety
OF the travelling public, but the jack
son accident has shown that it is not
TO be relied on in all emergencies.
Conductors and baggagemen have
their OWL duties TO perform, and they
are inconsistent with the watching Of
the signals OF the engineer. 1t fol-

been expressed that thefailroad com

assurance OF safety, and that the
public does not have to wait until it
is crushed and dead under the cars

wrongs. Howe, er this may be, the
railroad commissioners ought TO be in
vested with the power TO correct the

X QUESTION.
Some New Thoughts Relative to the sers'
ant Girl Question.

ant Girl Question.
At the last meeting OF the Sunset
Club. says the Chicago Journal. DR..
Sarah Hackett Stevenson ~upbraided
the housewives OF Chicago for re-
trenching in these hard times by dis
pensing with their servants She
made a strong plea for the unem-
ployed kitchen maids and showed
that she was setting a good example
by employing even more than usual:
but there is another side TO this
question, and it is a very large and
significant side.
During the last year the servant
girl in and around Chicago has been
a very independent and costly sort OF
creature. She has demanded so many
privileges and so many AdOllars a
week, and has done her work with
such a lofty incompetence that hun
dreds OF housewives in this city have
preferred to do their work them
selves rather than put W with the
kind OF service they were forced 70
pay for. These strained relations
made a bonanza for the funny para
grapher, but they also resulted in a
new order OF things in many house
holds. Many women have learned to
depend upon the laundries for their
washing, and upon canned meats,
fruits, and bakery products for their
provisions, and have gotten into a
new channel in which a servant
would be asuperfiuity.
The girls That now throng the en-
ployment bureaus are largely 10
blame for Their W condition. They
have demanded wages that could
not lie permanent and have lived
extravagantly while their brief
power lasted. Now they are reaping
the reward-eXpensive habits and
no work. 1t is a moment Of great
moral danger to them, but the cause
for IL Is entirely Of their own max
ing. The most unreasonable work
ing woman or man is, as a rule, the
most improvident An extreme in
stance coming under the knowledge
of the writer will serve as atype: 1t
is that Of a woman who came to Chi
cago last spring, made So a day all
through the summer at a Worlds
Fair restaurant, and is already penni-
less. And such are the very ones
that would be most intolerable in a
private family. There heads have
been turned; they are are spoiled for
the legitimate employment for which
they are fitted.
The greatest charity that could be
given these women would he TO re-
adjust their ideas CT the value of
money and OF their own Importance.
An Evanston servant girl who gets
s. a week recently bought a so dress.
when her mistress, who had never
owned a garment costing half that
amount, expressed SUI prise, she was
told to mind her own affairs. This
is the class of girls that we are now
being asked to employ as a matter OF
charity. They are as extravaganza OF
their employers time and materials
as OF their own earnings. They are
as impatient and hard to instruct in
their W duties as in matters Of per-
sonal economy. The thrifty house
wife who has come through the *
asperating experiences OF the Worlds
Fair year and finally adjusted her af-
fairs in a new groove where they run
smoothly without a kitchen servant,
is excusable il she hesitates long be-
fore she submits her neck TO the
yoke again.

The cost Of strikes is not appreci
ated as il should be. Among the
use OF hard times there is none
which is more productive OF hardship
than this season Of idleness, both for
labor n capital, while the contest
as To which shall be supreme is going
on. In the most exhaustive recent
strike between English coal miners
and coal owners, the loss to the coal
owners, transportation companies, and
coal consumers is estimated at $75,-
600, 000. That TO the miners and
Others thrown out Of employment by
dealers in coal is estimated at S92, :
600, 000. The recent strike on the
Lehigh Valley railroad, in this
country cost the company SO, 900, 900.
1t has undoubtedly cost the workmen
engaged in il nearly or quite as
much. These losses, especially Of
working men, are not easily repaired.
All the world over the wage Garner
expends for living very nearly up TO
the amount he receives. Compare
lively few accumulate anything for
the old age that is sure TO come.
When work and wages stop there is
an enforced economy, but there is
also with IL a load OF debt which il
requires months and even years OF
prosperity TO pay.

A Curious Affliction.

A physician was called to attend a
family up town last week who were al!
suffering from an apparently obstinate
skin disease, arising it was conJectured,
from disorder of the blood. The medi-
cal man at once declared that it was not
due to any internal cause as they sup
posed, but was an external form of irri-
tation, due to parasites too small to be
observed with the unaided eye. The
irritation was not confined to the hands
and face, but was general, and had
caused some of the sufferers to take to
their beds. Investigation showed that
it had its origin in, the presence of doves
inssgreat mum bers about the caves of
the house, as these birds are subject
to this form of parasites, which like
those affecting tie canary have the habit
of leaving the bird at night In this
particular case, the trouble was commu-
nicated to the family, doubtless, by the
introduction into the house of a young
dove that had fallen or strayed from it's
nest. All the bed linen, ETC., Of the
family were rsfound infested with this
minute pest, and it was hard fight to
get rid of them. An external remedy
prescribed by the observant physician
gave prompt relief from the personal
affection, and wire netting will now
prevent the roosting Of doves about that
house.

Autograph Fans.

1t was in China that the first autograph
fans were seen, and they became very fash
ionable there long years ago. Some care
fully preserved specimens have belonged to
the emperors and their wives, while Others
have been given as diplomatic presents.
A fan of this description, for instance, was
presented by the Chinese ambassador to
Nine. de Clauzel at the coronation of Ma
poleon l. Of course fashions in fans are
very changeable as well as in other things,
and instead of autograph fans the Chinese
have recently been most anxious to possess
fans bearing the Psalm of Life, - in their
own language. In India the very first fans
were supplied by nature in the spreading
leaves of the lotus and palm, but screen
fans soon became emblems of power there
also, for they are not only mentioned in
the great Hindoo poems Mahabharata"
and 'Ramayana, but Brahma and India
are represented in the ancient sculptures
at Elephanta followed by slaves bearing
the fly fan and parasol, which latter was
also considered as an emblem of supreme
power.--Ncw York Post.
