GIRL SUMNER VISITORS.
Should Dress Picturesquely and
Have Attractive Piazza MannerA.

A girl to be a successful Summer visi-
tor needs to be picturesque She must
fit in with the landscape. Her clothes
must be simple and dainty. She must
look well in golfing and bicycle suits.
She must not have a habit of saying
sharp things, and she must make other
girls like her. whether or not boys do.
A girl who likes boys only gets on at
hotel better than in a family. Next to
being picturesque, she needs to be strong
and well, so that she can play golf, walk.
ride bicycle, and talk all day long with
out being tired. Above all she must be
sportsmanlike in character take whatever
comes along without scrapping. and not
complain that someone than herself
would not have won unless she had
handicap. As in the game of golf. SO in
that of social life-somebody must ba
beaten that someone else may win.
The Summer visitor must have good
piazza manners. says the Boston Tran
script, and know how to perch on the
piazza railing without looking like an
athlete and to lounge IN a corner with
out seeming to invite a Irritation, and 10
get in and out of hammock like a bird
seeking or leaving its nest. Then she
must know how TO talk through meg
aphone and to look through a telescope
The girl Summer visitor should know
how TO arrange flowers without making
a fuss about having the right kind of
dishes for them. how 20 make salad
dressing and soda lemonade. the coffee
or chowder at a picnic. and how to trim
another girls hat out of nothing. She
should be friendly with the servants and
not expect them to Go her laundry or
she should always take her own shoe poll
ish with her and paper OF pins.
Just because life is SO much freer in
the Summer than in the Winter must
she always be on good terms with her
self as TO temper and neatness- If she
can't be jolly. she should stay-no. at

When a lady asks 4 girl to visit her,
1t is not because she needs a seamstress

Every woman likes to have her home a
center. So the Summer visitor must know
how to make herself agreeable to her
hostess and host and to all their children.

shall always be full of people. When a
girl asks another girl to visit her she
wants someone with whom she can be

boys will come round. but who likes
girls best: who can sing second and play

father; start games and make things go

THE ELECTRIC SERVICE.
1t GiveI Employment to More Than
n Million Americana.

(From the New York SUM-
More than 100000 persons in the United
States. 1t is now computed, get their live
| lihood through empioyments dependent
upon or connected with the use of cleo
tricity. and compared with the United
States the number of persons so employed
in other countries is practically insignifi-
cant. The rapid increase of the electric
business of this country is shown by the
fact that at the time of taking the last
national census. that of 1890 no serious eff
fort was made to give figures showing the
extent of the use of electricity.
There are in the United States nearly a
million miles of telegraph wire. and there
are 1900 telegraph offices, exclusive of
those maintained by the railroad COM
panies for the conduct and regulation of
their trains. Taaing into account teIe-
graph operators. telegraph company en-
ployes, and sAost in the telegraph service
of the railroads, there are 10000 persons
connected with the transmission of tele-
graphic messages In tie United States.
There are now 10000 miles of telephone
wire in the United States, more than 1O1)
exchanges, and an equal number of tele-
phone branch offices, exclusive of course
Of pay stations. The number of employees
of the telephone companies of the United
States is 5000. exclusive of those engaged
in construction and repair work for the
companies.
The gradual substitut tion of the cleo
trio current for horse power on surface
railroads added largely to the number of
employe of electric railroads. There are
now In the United States 1900 miles of
electric or trolley roads, and these roads
give employment. 1t is computed, to
100000 persons as motormen, conductors
clerks. inspectors. and electricians Then
is there the item of electric lighting.
which is one of the most important
branches of the development of electric
service, but likewise one the figures Of
which are most fragmentary. Nearly
every important city of the United
States. and many unimportant cities,
too. are lighted by electricity. as well as
private houses, stores, public buildings,
tunnels. bridges. caves. mines and parks,
and the use Of the electric current in
manufacturing is constantly on the in
crease. Machines are run by electricity,
many manufacturing operations are per-
formed by 1t. elevators are run by elec-
tricity, fans for cooling purposes are run
by electricity. and as these uses are ex-
tended the number Of persons employed
is steadily being increased.
There are still to be added the figures
Of another branch Of the business, one Of
the most important. the manufacture of
electric appliances, which, IT Is computed
gives employment to more than 10000
persons.
Taking all the figures together. it Is
probably not far from the truth to say
that there are 100000 persons in the
United States dependent upon electricity
for livelihood.

Territory. Not Money,
(rrom the Boston Herald.)

Nffom tne boston Herald
As between taking territory from Spain and
exacting a money indemnity the penalty of
her defeat in the present war. though the pos
session of the former may have its inconvcn-
fences for US, there is something highly reprgnant
in the latter we'll. The depriving of Spain of
her colonies will not be left injury to the
great mass of her people. Any advantage that
has accrued from them has been confined chiefly
to the richer classic those wao have profited
by holding their offices Of administration, and
have had the opportunity to share in the fruits
OF corruption from the business arrangements
connected Herewith. The colonies have been
levied upon Spain in this way, and n change Of
government that shall take on more honest
fern will be TO them boon also. Benefit rather
than suffering is likely to result from change
OF ownership here. and it may be expected to be
felt in all directions. Spain itself not excluded
The compelling of Spain to pay a money indem-
nifty is to be viewed with different feelings. The
mind indistinctivey revolts from a rich nation
like the United States squeezing vast sums Of
money out OF a poor one like Spain.
