European housekeeping.
F C BAYLOR. in I.ippincott.


To an American, accustomed to the loose
methods and wasteful habits of her coun-
try and people, there are few things more
interesting and genuinely amazing than the
thrift. the economies, the ways, of Euro
pean households. Mrs. c.. we will say, has
taken q furnished house in London. She
considers herself a good manager at home
She is determined not to be cheated abroad.
She gets up in the morning, ana, finding
the day chilly she decides to order coal and
kndling. She gives an order accordingly
that makes her coal merchant lout bow
and smile with brown-sugared sweetness,
while her cook stares, and, If she be an
honest woman, cries out, IAN that, mem?
Where ever shall we put EN-? What ever
shah we do with emf" She fears that she
has made a mistake having plenty Of
American clevSrness and ad4pta bility. She
rescinds half the order. Thc tradesman' 3
face is a study now. His expression changes
wonderfully, and so does his manner The
barometer has stood at ''servire and OBJ
sequious.' 1t drops to civil disgust tow
ard her. while he flings a look OF hatred at
the cook as he leaves the room, which be-
ing interpreted, means, You fool you mis-
erable marplot. What do you get by being

didn't you let ser give q big order, and

Harris sobered up he told sIory Of hav-
ing owed money to Thomas II. Robinson,
of No. 26lS East Tenth street. Yesterday
morning he called on Robinson to make
some kind Of a settlement and claims that
Robinson made an insulting remark about
the woman with whom Harris lives, which
was resented. The cut on the head was the
net result of the fight that followed
The police went to the house TO find Rob-
inson. The place appeared TO be empty,
but on investigation Robinson, dressed in
tatters, found in the back yard prepar-
ing his dinner over a small fire that was
burning between two bricks. He had a
part Of dry loaf of bread in his hand and
q can Of baked beans, from which he was
eating with a stick. The house is new and
worth about $500. Besides this, Robinson
owns two other houses and has consider
