A correspondent OF Good Housekeeping
writes 10 that paper as below.
There are but few households in this
broad land that have not felt the urgency
of improved conditions among those who
engage IN household service. OF course,
In the homes Of the very wealthy, each
servant has been trained for his or her
special work. Unfortunately for the
large class OF Americans, who are com
PEELED to depend upon the assistance OF
servants la the household. millionaires are
the only persons who can afford servants
OF this type, and they are neatly all
foreigners and have received their train
ing In some portion OF Europe. Those
who cannot afford TO import their servants
are compelled to take inexperienced and
incompetent persons into their homes.
The height OF incongruity is reached
when woman seeks position as d SER
want without holding any definite ideas
OF how she is TO MI the position she
seeks TO obtain. Inexperienced though
she may be, most marvellous impudence.
considering her lack OF knowledge, she
will apply with equal zeal for the post
OF cook or dressing maid as though she
were perfectly capable Of undertaking any
position of the work In household.
when training schools are established
many ills will be abolished that now fret
the housewife beyond expression. No
longer would she be weighed down by
incompetent and inefficient servants.
Training schools would bring about uni
form scale OF wages. and the line would
be drawn sharply between experienced and
inexperienced help. The old adage. III
YOU want a servant. serve yourself" may
have answered well enough In the days
Il originated but the times have changed
and the people have changed with them.
There are few families at the present day
who do not keep one or more servants.
These are now looked upon as necessary
evils. Training schools will change them
into valued additions 10 the family.
Wealthy philanthropists. who endow
hospitals. build churches and donate iber-
ally TO charitable objects. would build
themselves monument more lasting 10
their memories were they 10 erect and
endow schools wherein servants could be
made capable and sficient In different
kinds Of work.

A COSTLY EPIDEMIC.

The ravages Of the rinderpest in
South Africa are said to be more
appalling than any cattle plague
which has affected the region with
in living memory. AS an instance
of the devastation wrought in
Bechuanaland, it is reported that
Khama, the paramount chief, who.
with Bathoen and Sebele, recently
visited England, has lost from his
private herds alone, 5000 head of
cattle. At Pitsani, at last advices,
the cattle were dying by the hun
dred daily, and DR., Hutcheon, who
has Just concluded a tour of jnspec-
ton, is reported to have declared
that unless something occurs to
stay the infection-which seems
very un]ikely-not a single COW
will, within few weeks, be left in
the Bechuanaland Protectorate. 1t
is estimated that the cost Of the
plague will be over $4,000 OOO To
the South African native cattle are
a medium Of exchange and staple
diet.-London Daily News

not. he finds that sleep has for It's
constant effect the weakening of the
stomach's mobility and at the same
time there is an increase in the
acidity of the gastric juice. On the
other hand, simple repose in the
horizontal position stimulates the
motive function of the stomach, but
does not increase the acidity of gas

reached that, while one should
stretch himself out for a rest in the

If the United States should coin
all the silver produced in the L. s.,
which many St. Louis republicans
are in favor of, then the American
product would be worth $1.29 per
ounce, and the foreign product
worth 65 cents per ounce, hence the
American dollar would only be
worth 80 cents in foreign markets,
but if the United States should coin
all the silver that is presented to it
no matter where produced, then all
silver the world over would be

matters little whether the principles
which they follow are good or bad,

MIGRATION. Notwithstanding all
the precautions that have been TAX
en-. a large number of Italians are
being landed at New York One
steamer from Genoa and Naples
alone brought / 400, many of whom
are practically paupers, and have
no means of earning living ex-
cept as scavengers. Another steam
er from Naples brought In 1000,
and within a few months, the i'm
migrationc Commissioner reports, OF
the entire number landed at least
10000 are either of the class indi-
Gated or very little better.
The difficulty is that so long as
the people have some money with
them and are willing to say they
have more to follow when they get
settled, the authorities cannot force
them back on the steamship COM
panies, and the only alternative is
to bear the burden by letting them
in or paying their passage back.
Another difficulty in the way,
which is not SO readily admitted, is
that it is very profitable traffic for
the steamship companies, because
they use tramp steamers and give
the poorest kind of fare There
would be great temptation to insure
that one or two of the subordinates
charged with examination of the
immigrants should not strain the
law against the steamship cOmpan-
les. This would be rendered easier
by the failure Of the government to
afford sufficient help. The lmmi-
grafton commissioner complains of
this as an excuse for permitting so
many of doubtful qualifications to
pass inward.
But the oney restriction, while
it is the easiest the enforce, is not
the best one that could be applied.
Some of the best citizens this conn
try ever had, or has today, landed
en- our shores with barely enough
to keep them for week. Tits not
SO much the poverty Of the immi-
grant which should be objected to
as his unfitness to make a living in
a country with whose language and
ways he is entirely unfamiliar and
whose habits and method of life
renders him obnoxious to this civ
ilization and this form of govern
ment. 1t is more difficult, too, than
it was fifty or sixty years ago to
find employment in the crowded
Atlantic cities.
Therefore, while there might be
no objection to admitting a.healthy,
intelligent, foreigner, even without
means, it might be very undesir-
able to admit a whole family which
must in a few days be dependent
upon municipal help or the charity
of people of their own nationality.
We do not suffer much in these
western states from this class of i'm
but some of the tenement
districts of New York swarm with
dense masses who live as thick as
ants, one room sut1icing for whole
family. The economic effect of this
aggregation is very far-reaching,
and it is surprising public opinion
has not asserted itself more EN-.
phatically long before this.-P.-I
