Good Salaries.
From the Pail Mall Gazette
The office of housekeeper requires Of a
woman the SEINE qualities that are neces.
sary to make good statesman-cool judr-
ment, equable temper, and a grasp of de-
tails, however small. The average woman.
in order to develop these qualities, needs to
have the compenionship of man, to 1--we
with him in the marital relation, and to be
responsible to him for his daily needs and
comforts; left to herself, free from the
discipline of male domination and needing
only to provide for her own wants. she will
shirk the cares of housekeeping and main
tain herself upon the most meager diet,
mainly one of toast and tea AS regards
the professional housekeeper who is held 10
strict accountability, and is called upon
to provide annually Loss appetizing meals
Tor a family and satisfying ones for the
domestfcS, to make the servants do their
best work and to prevent jars and bicker-
lngs among them, she requires an amount
OF tact, character and kindness never
found in the second-rate woman that the
housekeeper is supposed to be.
She must be cheerful, prompt and calm in
emergencies, good tempered and patient.
The household over which she has super
vision must be so organized that during
her temporary absence or illness the whole
thing will go on by itself for time at
least. That the possession of such qualities
is rare In any woman is true from the fact
that the owners of large town and country
houses in England are constantly on the
lookout for this ideal housekeeper.' Such a
woman will easily command an annual
salary of f200, if not more. She is treated
with great respect, she has her own apart
ments in which her meals are served, her
hours of labor or duty are reasonably
prief, and she Is not expected to hold other

DEMAND FOR CYCLES.
Output of Wheels Estimated rs Nearly
100000 This Year.

Output of Wheels Estimated rs Nearly
100000 This Year.
From the New York Times.
While It is almost an impossibiIfty to give
anything like correct statement of what
the output of bicycles will be this year, it
is by common consent spoken of as be-
tween 100000 and 100000 wheels. A ma
5ority Of close observers in the trade would
doubtless fix the figures at 100000
Such a large number of wheels represents
an enormous outlay, particularly when 1t
is calculated that each wheel sells for an
average price of not less than S65. At this
rate the sum produced is 500, $500
This has been the most phenomenal sea-
sen the cycle trade has ever known. In
many cases the manufacturers have been
unable, even though running their facto-
rles night and day, to keep abreast with the
demand. New operators in the producing
field have sprung into existence in all parts
of the country, and while some have made
mistakes and gone under. the majority
have profited largely by the popular de-
mand.
There are about $50 large and small con-
out cycles, or parts of this interesting
vehicle, but next year this number should
be slightly increased. judging from the
talk one hears among the trade. Said q
well-informed travelling salesman to a re-
pc rter for the New York Times yesterday:
81 don't believe there is a carriage manu-
factory in the United States or Canada
that has not this season considered plans
and schemes for the production of bicycles,
and there is sure to be number in the
idea among these people that the perfect
bicycle has not yet appeared, and they
believe a better wheel will line their pock-

About Kcening shoes.

From the Philadelphia Times
I have before me q pair of shoes; one,
save for the shape of the foot having de-
stroyed the stiff outlines of newness, look
ing as if it might have just left the store;
the ether shoe looks as If even tramp
might pass it by with contempt. Yet they
are mates.
One has been cleaned, the other has not,
is al the difference; yet neither has ever
been "blacked;" the shoes have never been
worn with rubbcrs. yet when cleaned the
leather is soft and pliable as one could
wish; yet with all the sp!ck and spanness
they are half worn out How is it done?
Have three small, clean cloths, a basin
Of water a bottle of cosmoline vasel;ne,
petroleum Jelly, or whatever name You like
to call it, it is all the same and d clean

two or three feet above register or stove

where they will be scorched on top and

When they are perfectly dry wipe the

to get them all off; then rub hard with a
dry cloth, then polish with the brush, be-
ing careful about the stitching and around

other, not forgetting the heel
Unless your shoes nave been badly scuff-

OF 200 schoolmates and teachers.
which only the hand of Time can

Happy and blest,
Close to the thro one of the Redeemer,
