Hires Boy Domestic.
Mrs Rawsbury Roweli thinks she has
solved the servant question and-perhaps
she has, according to the Kansas City

experience with hired girls in her brief
career as a housekeeper. and, although
she has threatened to board forever and

threats and keeps trying everything in

when she would be compelled to start in
on the dinner; she heard a timid rap at
the door. Opening it she beheld a col

intelligent looking, who asked the privi-
lege of doing her chores for his supper
She had nothing for the boy to do, but
didn't want to send him away supperless,
SO she hesitated, thinking what her best
course would be. Her eyes fell upon the

ing Regions i'll European Russia.
AT Baku, on the Caspian sea, petroleum
is so plentiful that the streets have been

oiled by it, and it is applied in many
ways where water might be used. A
visitor to the place says he saw, where
a man was levelng a piece of ground
that he poured petroleum over the earth
merely to soften it, so that he might
beat 1T down to Il smooth surface.
Close to Baku. on the north. there is
large promontory, the Apsheron PENN
sula, mentioned in the foregoing dispatch,
and the great oil field called Balakhani
is on this ground. Balakhani is toward
the, north of this promontory, and the
wells, of which there are over 400. extend
over large space. The copiousness of
the supply at Ralakhani will be under
stood when it is stated that there are
the result Of their flow is no more than
that of one of the wells on the promon
tory.
The refinerics are congregated together
along the shore, about mile or so to tho
north of Baku; they are known as the
the clouds of dark smoke which always
surround the locality and the somber ap,
pearance of the place. AS the oil flows
after distilling. its quality is tested in the
receiving house. 1t is then pumped to
another part of the works, where it has
to be purified; this is done in large tanks,
by means of sulphuric acid which de-
stroys some minute vegetable substance IL
the oil. After this process the OIL is
ready for use.
1t is not only on the shores of the Cas-,
plan that the oil is found in this abun-
dance, but west of the Trial valley, about
the sources of the Plethora, is a valley
which appears to be totally soaked with
petroleum.. AT every step the traces OF
crude oil are noticeable; on the swampy
shores, on the surface of the rivers, in
pools, trickling down the hills-every
where the oil oozes from below.
Tho quantity of the Plethora petroleum
as far us has been possible to determine
is fully equal to the Pennsylvania and
Baku deposits, although the Plethora oil
wells may not show the force Of election
of the other two oil regions. This ia,
vorable regularity is caused by the regu,
larity and horizontal position of the petro,
lcum-bearinG strata. The quality is supe,
rior to that of the Baku petroleum. az
it yields fully 40 per cent. of best refined
Kerosene 20 per cent. lubricants, 10 per
cent. intermediate oils. 3 per cent. gaso'

G.. Low of Boston, president of a big tile
manufacturing concern, to reporter at

beverage? Perhaps you'd say whisky, or

Soda water is what l am talking about,

WHEN THE WAR WAS OVER.
Desolation that Prevailed at the Close of
the Rebellion.

Desolation that Prevailed at the Close of
the Rebellion.
The war left the South in indescrbable
desolation Great numbers of Confeder-
ates came home to find their farms sold
for unpaid taxes, perhaps mortgaged to
ex-saves. The best Southern land, after
the war, was worth but tritle of its old
value. Even city real estate was drug.
Many their ruin rendered insane; in null
titudes more it broke down all energy.
The Drawer spirits--men TO whom till now
all toll had been Strange-set to work as
clerks, depot masters and agents of vari-
Gus business enterprises. High-born
ladies, widowed by Northern bullets, be-
came teachers or governesses. In the
comparatively few eases where families
retained their estates, their effort to keep
one domestics were dismissed; dinner par
ties grew rare; stately coaches lost their
paint and became rickety; carriage and
saddle horses were worn out at the
plough and replaced by mules. At last
the master learned to open his own gates,
the mistress to do her own cooking.
Upon the whites, in many communities,
a kind of moral and social stagnation set
tied down, an unhealthy, hopeless acqui-
escence in the worst that might come.
Politics they long regarded with abhor-
renee as the accused thing that had
brought on the war. Whites as well as
negroes, drank recklessly. Few of any
class cared much for ducation.-Scrib-
ner's Magazine.

CAN THE HEART BREAK?

Physicians Say Not, Yet the Imaginat ton
Often Plays Sad Franks.
Grief does not kill, and it is indeed
very seldom that heavy sorrow causes
death to anyone when in a healthy con-
dition. 1t is, however. very often the in
direct cause of Il death. either by bring
ing disease to climax or by rendering
the sufferer more liable to it's attack
If man is convinced that his grief is
more than he can bear, those who have
studied the matter agree that, through
the force of his own imagination, the
man will actually die from broken
heart
The great Napoleon was killed by an
internal disease, but it is supposed that
it would not have been fatal had not
his spirits been SO depressed through eX-
lie and defeat. William Pitt, the orator,
is said to have died from Il broken
heart" caused by his great grief at the
failure of his cherished hopes and plans.
And there have been many other such
instances in the history of this country.
When plaques are raging in town, sta
tistcs show that as many die from
fright and imaginary causes as from the
real epidemic. so great hold has the
fear of death on some people.
If man is condemned to be shot, it
has often occurred that on the word
fire" he has dropped lifeless, although,
through accident or design, no bullet has
in reality left the gun.
There is queer case on record con-
corning the daughter of celebrated
French novelist, who was deeply inter
ested in one of her fathers stories. 1t
appeared in installments, and the heroine
was suffering froLi consumption. AS the
girl brooded over the sad fate of the
heroine she, too suddenly manifested the
same symptoms. "A physician recon-
mended her father to restore the heroine
to health, which he did few chapters
on. and at the same time as the girl in
the novel recovered, so also did his too
sentimental daughter.

In Practical Forest Lore.

in Practical Forest Lore.
Hundreds of people are engaged in Ten
nessee in digging roots and herbs and
gathering leaves, barks, nuts and berries
for the great pharmaceutical laboratories.
They are known as the ''diggers' of the
state. The people who began the business
were born in the backwoods. Farming
afforded them only a scant living, fishing
and hunting were for sport, and every
time they operated still the revenue
officers swooped down upon them with
handouts and warrants. A succession OF
iatl sentences convinced them that it
was better to buy whisky than to make it
themselves. When they quit moonshin-
ing they had to discover so:ce new way
to make enough money to keep them
selves going in backwcods style, which
means store clothes. red-topped boots, to-
bacco and plenty of whisky for the men,
and snuff, calico and feathers for the
women. A druggist in trouble supplied

The old women Of the digger districts
had always made decoctions, teas and BIT
tiers from roots, herbs. banks and leaves
to allay all sorts of ailments, but the idea
of selling the roots and barks had never
presented itself Long Tom Harper was
a moonshincr in McNair county, and the
federal judge sent him to jail for six
months at Memphis once. Long Tom
served out his term, ana Inat jan seH-
tcnce changed many sinners into digsers.
Among other prisoners there was drug
gist who had been incarcerated for
mstlemeanor. The druggist asked Long
Tom about the herbs in his district, and
Tom told him all he knew. The druggist

and gather roots and herbs for market
Ntoonshining with jail sentence was
not pleasing to Tom. and he was easily
induced to so into the new venture. for
the prospect of hard work didn't seem I'M
minent. That was years ago. Long
Tom and the drug man dug roots and
herbs. stripped trees of their bark and
hauled bundles of it to the railway sta
