SERVANTS BALL IN PARIS.
A Splendid Affair In Which 5000 Do
mestics Are Interested.

mestics Are Interested.
One of the great balls of Paris is that
of the so-calied "Bal des Gems de Mai
son" at the Sale Wagram, which has
just been held. The "Gens de Maison"
are an association comprising some
5000 of the superior servants, the
cream, in fact, and the aristocracy of
the 100000 domestics employed to wait
upon the well-to-do citizens of Paris.
The union is rich and eclectic, in so far
as it will permit no servant to retain his
or her name on the rolls who has been
guilty of disgraceful conduct.
The president is NJ. Picard, butler
of imposing presence, who, with q
broad, blue sash of office crossing his
capacious white waistcoat, as the rib
bon of the Legion of Honor crosses that
of President Faure, received the guests
at the ball with just as much dignity
and stateliness as if he were the chief
magistrate of the republic in person.
The demeanor of the guests was ire
proachable, and the attire of both men
and women compared fayorably with
that of the people present at the mu-
nicipal ball a couple of days previously.
The men were in full evening dress,
while the magnificent jewels that
adorned the necks, the arms, and the
coiffures of many of the women gave
evidence of the fact that their mistress
es had allowed them for the occasion
free access to their caskets.
These gems, however, and the costly
laces may be said to have constituted
the sum total of the borrowed plumes,
for it was manifest from the perfect
fit of the gowns that they had been
made for their wearers. This is by no
means surprising when it is borne in
mind that to the lady's maids, the Wallets,
the buffers and the private coachmen
in Paris this Balls DIES Gems de Maison
constitutes the principal social event
and festival of the entire year, the one
for which they reserve all their tinery
and all their economies, as well as their
best manners. Masters and mistresscs
seem to take pleasure in helping the
members of their household to cut a
good figure on this occasion, and many
is the lady's maid who can boast Of
having had the finishing touches given
to her toilet and the jewels fastened
into her hair, around her throat and
wrists and into her ears by the hands
CT her own mistress. The only feature
of the entertainment calculated to
cause a smile and to create some
amusement was the precedence accord
ed to the servants of dukes over those
of marquises, and to those of marquises
over those of counts, the domestics of
ordinary untitled citizens being con-
tent to follow meekly in the wake of
their betters.-Paris Letter.

NEW HAMPSHIRE'S PRIDE.
Splendid Work Done for the Free Public
Library System.


New Hampshire has reason to be
proud of her free public library system.
Splendid work has been accomplished
since 1892, and of the 233 cities and
towns in the state there are now not
more than so that have no free public
library. There is every reason to eX-
pect that even this number will be
greatly reduced by the action of the
voters in these towns at the next March
meeting. The value of these libraries,
free to every citizen of town, is so
obvious that no one now seriously ques-
tons it, and it is source of satisfaction
to every friend of education to con-
template the results that will surely
follow from their influence.
Under the law of 1895 every town
must elect board of library trustees,
whether it has free public library or
not, and a small assessment is made
compulsory unless the town votes that
it sis ineXpedient to establish libra
ry" But this action must be taken
each year, the evident purpose Of the law
being that the subject of free public
library shall be brought annually to
the attention of every town in the
state. In towns where there is no pub
lie library the assessment is to form q
fund, in the care of the trustees, until
such time as the library is established.
1t was not intended by the law that
the compulsory assessment should be
a sufficient support for the libi airy, and
it is to be hoped that each town will
make an additional appropriation in
order that its library may be constantly
increasing and be maintained at high
standard of efficiency. There can be no
better investment in any town-after
the schools have been provided for
than the judicious expenditure of
money in the purchase of books that
shall be free and in the reach of every
citizen. 1t is matter to be thought
about and talked about and acted upon
when the voters come together IN town
meeting .-Mancheste Union.

A W Oman's Courage.

l saw woman do courageous act
in San Rafael yesterday. Some little
children were playing ball on the street,
when big black dog ran up and sprang
at six-year-old boy. He threw up
both hands and screamed. The dog
sprang toward him again, but did not
quite reach him. The little fellow was
paralyzed with fear, and could do moth
ing but scream as the dog made re-
peated springs at him. A woman on
the opposite side of the street saw the
little fellows peril, and looked around
for help. Then, Selling a large stone,
she ran up and hurled it at the brute
1t turned tail and ran down the street
as fast as it could go, till it overlook
the stone, picked it up, trotted back
laid it at the womans feet, and stood
wagging its tail for her to throw it
again. The dog wanted to play ball,
too.-San Francisco Post.

WANAMAkER'S INN.

Unique Plan of the Philadelphia Merchant
s~ to Help His Fell0w-Men.
A writer in the New York Observer
describes the unique plan by which
John Wanamaker, the famous Philadel-
phia merchant, proposes to assist his
fellow-men.
Postmaster-General and Philan-
4hropist John Wanamaker, has pur-
chased the old Peabody hotel, Ninth
street, above Spruce, Philadelphia, and
had it remodeled at a cost of sec, 900. 1t
is now the Friendly Inn, with accommo-
dation for about $50 guests. The rooms
are cozy and bright, some of them with
one, Others with two, three, and four
single beds. For a room with only one
bed, dodgers will be charged 25 cents
night. In a room with one or more
Others the price is Is cents. Meals will
be served, table d'hote at ten cents for
breakfast or supper, and Is cents for
dinner. There is social parlor which
will be open for guests during the after
noon and evening, with magazines and
newspapers for free use. This is pref
tily furnished. There is an employment
bureau in connection with the inn, no
charge being made for help rendered
in procuring work for men. Mr.. Wan
amaker says that the inn is not chart
ty, nor is it fountain of religious sym
pathy. 1t does not propose simply to
nurse man out of his sprees in the hope
of permanent cure. 1t is dead earn

again by the society from which by one
reason or another he is fugitive.

Women on Wheels In War.

One of London's daily papers recently
published letter signed: "A Colonies
Wife," in which the proposition is made
in all seeming seriousness that should
the prophecies of continental combina-
tons against England be realized, the
duties of the army in the rear may be
performed by lady cyclist orderlies.
The coloners wife announces herself
prepared to assist in the organization
of lady cyclist corps. to help resist
our many enemies" Womankind has
no means of knowing how England
will receive such a proposition, but in
America, for the most part, woman is
willing to let man, the devil, and
dynamite do the killing, and she busies
herself in caring for the wounded, or
in sending Clara Barton to rescue
the oppressed deserted by civilization.
-Womankind.
