BE CONSIDERATE.

Think Of Your Servants Comfort Durias
the Hot Days.
Consideration is at all times de-
sirable quality to possess, but never is
it more to be cultivated than at this sea-
son and for those who perform the daily
household labor for US. It is warm for
us to eat our meals, but how much more
uncomfortable it would be were we
forced to prepare them, standing over
q hot range and being obliged to en-
dure at least three times day a tenn
perature that gas stove palliates but
cannot make entirely pleasant. No
matter how much money is in question,
such tasks to be performed in such
weather are most trying, and it is only
common humanity to plan some way
which viii relieve those who are en-
ployed by US to perform them.
At night, when the breezes, if breezes
there are, blow into our large roomy
bed chamber, let US pause a moment
and reflect upon the sleeping accommo-
dations provided for our servants. In
many homes any little third-story den
is considered good enough for the help

are human beings, os keeDly alive to

Cest Bntas1ed on the Railroad Compsn,oe

1t has been computed that fog costs
the metropolis from 6 $4,000 to G 1oo,-

soon as the fog descends, the plate-lay-
ers, without waiting orders, leave their
work and undertake the duties of fog
signalmen. For this they receive an
extra shilling a day. This appears o
small item, yet a single fog has been
known to cost over 6 so for extra wages
to plate-layers at Chaplain Junction
alone.
Each fog signaInan is supplied With
