Comforts for Servants.

Have two beds in it if both domestics
occupy one room. Very often the ser.
wants room is a storehouse for old fur
niture. AS human beings are governed
greatly by externals, it is impossible to
improve ones finer feelings and prin-
ciples if one treats them as animals.
Many housekeepers allow the girls to
sit IN the dining room in the evening
and see that they have papers and mag
azlnes. This is not spelling them, but
makes gill worth having respect her
self and her position, and consequently
her mistress.
1t is customary to allow girls COM
pany one evening in the week. and it
is wise not to interfere with the girls
sitting up occasionally as late as eleven
O'Clock. When one realizes that the
evening is the only time girl has free
from constant duty, it is hard to cur
tail that, and insist that servants should
go up stairs at nine O'Clock.
Teach a girl to open the front door

talking or heavy walking around the
house, slamming doors, etc. All these
noises are merely bad habits, not nee

careful of her hands, keeping the nails
in order, etc., all of which is much in
evidence when handing dishes to one.
In a servants former life such amen
tiles were not dreamed of. and thew

An old man came cantering across
the avenue last week, and, accosting q
Grand Army man, asked some peril.
nent questions about enlistipg. Where
he had kept himself would have been
hard to tell, but he looked pretty much
as though he had spent the thirty or
more intervening years between the
last war and this in grabbing for
COOLERS.
He excitedly exclaimed that the bugle
did it all. He had uncomplainingly
gone the rounds of his humdrum life.
When war was declared he read the
papers with great interest, but no
thought of taking an active part pre-
scented itself. He came to town the day
before TO see about an old war claim,
and, as he padded down the avenue,
passed a good many men in soldier
clothes. Having no hinge ring fondness
and no tender memories of the color,
they failed to impress him.
A band or 80 passed him on the way,
and though he stepped tr.fie livelier
when they played "Dixie," and the
perspiration trickled down his face as
he struck trot with yankee Doodle"
when they sent "My County, IT'S of
Thee" floating down the avenue, he
just stopped and took off his hat.
1t was when he neared Market Space
that real patriotism struck him, when
the bugle sent its merry, cherry call re-
verberating across the way. He had
not heard it since he was soldier in
gray, and floods of memories rose up
and waited him over to Market Space.
He was quite out of wind from doing a
doub.e-quick march when he landed up
against the old Grand Army man and
began his interrogations.
After the man in faded blue had
answered all patiently, and tried to
dissuade him from presenting himself
for enlistment, all to no avail, he finally
said:
"Look here, partner, I've done all l
could for the Union, and you done all
you could agin' it. / was only right
because l come out best. If you all
had, why, you'd a-been right. We
amt got much longer here in these
ranks, noway, and 'spose we just send
a schooner adrift to the health of the
boys in the present cohfict."
Over the way they went as clipper
as the rawest recruit, and felt better for
being able to serve their country by
wholesome union of good wishes.-Ex.
