maintain the most perfect d1sclpfIie she
is sure to be set down as failure. AS
rule no talking is allowed among the
girls when they are on duty. It has
been found to lead to arguments and
scraps. The housekeeper has to see that
they do their work without stopping to
gossip in corridors. In some hotels
chambermaid caught talking is dis
charged. In this respect the housekeep-
er is not unlike the roundsman Of the
police force. After work has ended for
the day the girls are allowed to go to
their rooms and the housekeeper trou-
bles them no more, unless there is a
fight among them, as sometimes happens
in the best regulated hotels. In such
case it is the housekeeper who must
quell the battle. No one else will have
anything to do with her employees.
It is the housekeeper, too, who must
look after the morals and the personal
appearance of the girls She must see
that they are safely tucked away in bed
at certain hour each night. No girl
may stay out late at night without a
pass from the housekeeper. Even with
such pass a girl will not be admitted
to the hotel later than midnight. Girls
have been known through a collusion
with a bell boy to slip in late at night
without being seen by the housekeeper
but if the latter is woman who knows
her business she will checkmate this
move and discharge the girl. Very like
ly the conniving bell boy will get his
walking papers at the same time.
Salaries of hotel housekeepers vary, of
course. One hundred dollars month,
with board and really handsome apart
ments, is the highest housekeeper s wage
! know of, and the range in first class
hotels is from $50 up.

Limhless Cotton.

An interesting sight at Opelika, Ala,
is a patch of "lilnbless" cotton. The
plants are from five to seven feet high
and have no limbs or branches at all
The bolls form ON little twigs two and
three inches long, and when in bloom
the stalk presents the appearance of u
white column. A crop of about four
bales to the acre is what is expected un-
der fair conditions. This Alabama patch
is the property of the Rev. l. n Fitz.
patrick, presiding elder of the negro
Methodist church, and such is his care
of his unique crop and his confidence in
his neighbors that he watches it at night
with a dog and gun. Exchange.

what SQUIRRELS Eat,


Squirrels do not entirely subsist ON
nuts, as most people suppose They are
largely fruit eaters, and occasionally
work big havoc in the orchards at the
fall of the year. They are not above
stealing partridge eggs, and ON this ac-
count are not beloved by the sportsman.
Even poultry, when they stray, as they
often will, and lay eggs beyond the
confines of the poultry yard, suffer from
attacks of squirrels when the mother
bird is away. In pine tree districts these
little climbers are fond of splitting the
pine cones and eating the seeds thereof.
But above all things squirrels are
fond of fungus. They will not have
anything to say to the common or gar
den mushroom, but confidently devour
the most yellow and poisonous looking
of toadstools that grow in damp woods
and fields. They never store these, for
they know well that fungi will not
keep. They devour them greedily as
they come TO light and revisit the spot
as soon as fresh spawn renews the fun
gus There are. however, many kinds
of toadstools that squirrels know to be
poisonous, and these they will not
touch. -Detroit Free Press

Diamnnda.

Professor Crookes, in his recent re-
markable lecture ON diamonds, mem
toned some interesting facts concerning
that always popular subject. When i'll
examining diamonds under polarized
light the black cross of the polarizer re-
wolves around particular spot In the in
side of the crystal and the point is exam
ined with high power, slight flaw and
more rarely minute cavity are some
times seen. This cavity is filed with gas
at an enormous pressure, and the strain
which is set up in the stone by the ef-
fort of the gas to escape is not infre-
quently removed only by the explosion
of the gem. 1t is not at all uncommon
for a diamond to explode soon after it
reaches the surface, and some have been
known to burst in the pockets of the
miners or when held i'll the warm hand.
Large crystals are more liable to burst
than smaller pieces. Valuable stones
have been destroyed in this way, and it
is whispered that cunning dealers have
often done handsome stroke of bust
ness by allowing responsible clients to
handle or carry in their warm pockets
large crystals fresh from the mine. By
way of safeguard against explosion some
dealers embed large diamonds in raw
potatoes to insure safe transit on the
ocean voyage.
Professor Crookes showed that dia-
mond could actually be too hard. From
a rich yield of beautifully white dia-
monds in New South Wales gre at things
were expected When parcel of many
hundred carats came to England, it was
found they were so hard as to be prac-
tically unavoidable as gems, and they
were ultimately sold for rock boring
purposes. The intense hardness of the
diamond was illustrated by an expert
ment. The diamond was placed ON the
fiattenedapex of a conical block of steel,
and on it was brought down a second
cone of steel. As these cones were forced
together by hydraulic power the image
of the diamond and the steel faces of
the cones were projected on the screen
with AN electric lantern. The stone was
seen to be squeezed right into the steel
blocks without being injured in the
slightest degree.

a New Use For organ Grinders.

A well dressed woman lately entered
Paris jewelers. shop and asked to SEQ
some valuable gold pins While she
was examining them a man began play
ing barrel organ before the door. The
music seemed to annoy the lady, and,
stepping to the door, she threw piece
of money to the man and told him tn
go away, which ne did at once.
On returning to the counter she said
that none of the pins suited her, but
that as some compensation for the trou-
BILE she had given she wouid buy a
brooch. She accordingly chose one, paid
10 francs for it and was leaving the
shop when the jeweler missed dia-
mond pin Of great value from among
those she had been examining. He &C
cordingly stopped his customer, who
seemed highly indignant and insisted
on the proprietor's wife searching her.
which was done, but no pin was found.
The jewelsr then set his sister to
watch the woman, who was seen to en-
ter another jewelers. shop, and was pre-
tending to make purchase when the
organ grinder made his appearance. As
soon as he began playing she again
threw some money and ordered him to
move on, but the person who was
watching her perceived that with the
money she had given the man piece Of

The Former nahlia Craze.

The dahlia, named after the famous
Swedish botanist Dahl, appeared early
in this century, and was as popular in
the flower garden as were the camellias
and fuchsias in the greenhouse, and still
holds it's own. This plant, which is a
native of Mexico, was practically intro
duced into England by Lady Holland
in 1904, as it had been lost since its
first appearance some Is years previous
ly, when Lady Butte imported it from
Spain. During the first 40 years of its
popularity double dahlias were all the
fashion, and since then the single varie-
ties have had their day, while at the
present time the new cactus kinds hold
the foremost place. A florist, writing
about 1880. compared the fashion for
dahlias, which was then at its height,
to the tulip mania two centuries earlier,
and. although the comparison is hardly
correct, it shows the dahlia craze must
have been very marked to have even
suggested it.-Longman' s Magazine

The Alleged Original Source of Our
Knowledge ST English Literature.
To some Of us-I suspect, indeed, to
good many---Beswel represents the
original source not only of knowledge
about johnson, but Of our knowledge of
English literature in general. He was
our introducer to the great anonymous
club formed by English men of letters
from the days when Shakespeare met
Ben Jonson to the days when Carlyle
discoursed to Froude. We became mem
bers Of the craft in spirit under Bos-
wells guidance, whether we have or
have not become actually identified
with it in the flesh 1t therefore be-
comes next to impossible to abstract
from BoSwell-all our later knowledge
has been more or less ingrafted upon
him, however far we may have travelled
from the source Boswell gave the nu-
cleus. and more or less consciously we
have used his world as standard inev-
itably taken into account in all later
judgments To suppose Boswell nonex-
istent is for such readers to suppose a
kind of organic change in our whole es-
innate of literary characteristics
When reading. especially about some
of the other famous takers, Coleridge's
monologues or Sydney Smithaj explo-
sions of fun, find myself thinking how
they would have sounded at the Miter
OF the Turk Head Thanks to Boswell,
take the Johnsonian article to be a
fixed datum like the official yard at the
Tower, and to be asked to put that out
of my head is to be invited to deprive
myself of my only measuring rod. 1t is
exceedingly difficult. at any rate. to put
oneself outside of Boswell and to con-
strue portrait of johnson simply out
of such other materials as are here put
together.

and the rest, but always with the help
of the preconeeived notions. Where
they could be fitted into Boswell l have
accepted them as corroborations, but
when they differed | have probably re-
jected the uncongenial elements with
perhaps careless assumption that they
must be inaccurate, and yet it seems
only justice to these respectable persons
to consider whether we ought not to re-
open the point. If Mime. D Arblay saw
something of johnson which was not
revealed to Boswell, may we not discov-
er similar supplementary hints in the
other attempts at portraiture?-Leslie

SHE'S A BUSY WOMAN
MEANING THE HousEKEEPER OF A
BIG MODERN HOTEL.

Not q Figurehead Like the Clerk, but
the Executive Head of Most Impor-
tant Department The Duties. Her Pay
and Her Worries.
There is no single member of the
managers staff who contributes more
to the success of great modern hotel
than the woman who acts the part of
fhousekeeper. In the eyes of the un-
thinking transient guest the day clerk
and yet more the night clerk may seem
of far greater Importance, but in reality
these functionaries are in sense only
fgureheads, whose chief value lies in
their power to make themselves person
ally agreeable to the hotels patrons.
But the housekeeper is one of the three
or four executive heads who really run
the hotel. !" The responsibility of MAX
ing the guests comfortable and content
ed rests as heavily upon her shoulders
as it does upon the steward or the chef
The duties of the housekeeper are
pretty accurately described by her title.
She keeps the house in order. In some
of the smaller hotels she superyises
what is known as the 'sback of the
house, from kitchen to garrett, but the
new big establishments in the great cit
les are SO vast that the task of looking
after the details of the whole would be
beyond the power of any one person.
This will the more readily be under
