A SONG OF THE HoUSEMAID
(After Kipling.)


Red are her hands-and humble is her
parentage,
Uisten. . ye ladies, and be fearful of the
maid,
For it's she who holds the sway.
Though it's you who have to pay,
And as Rider Haggard sayeth, it is she
must be obeyed).
Strong are her arms-she's ma sculinely
muscular,
Mighty are her movements, irresistible her
touch
And no sinews she omts
When she shivers into bits
Your oldest Sevres and Dresden, and your
quaintest bit of Dutch.
Crash go the plates; she's proud of her
activity.
Washingup or breaking-up. she does 1t
with a swishl
And the silver hardly thrives
When she's scratching forks with
knives.
When she's bashing every salver, when
she's smashing every dish.
Harsh is her tongue, and forceful her
vernacular;
Dream not to instruct her how those du-
ties should be done,
Or she'll tell you plain and fiat
That she didn't come for that,
And she'll ask you-she's cynic-"Did l
break the thing for fun?"
Peace to the maid-her day is nearly over
now,
Soon the cap and apron shall be banished
from your sight,
And politest men and boys
Shall attend you without noise,
Shall do her simple duties and shall really
do them right.
Peace to the maid-shell vanish to the
colonies,
Break the soil and drive the herd, and
whack the nigger's head,
While the mildest-mannered male
Swings the broom and bears the pail.
Does the mending, bathes the baby. laws

To Get Thin

The glory of having discovered way Of
getting thin and of keeping in good condi-
ton when one is deprived of usual means
of exercise must rest with the wife of an
English officer In India. AS sometimes
happens after long illness and its suhse-
quent confinement, this lady found herself
when able to move again, almost twice her
normal size. She could not walk. nor was
she able, through nervousness, either to ride
or to enter into outdoor sports. One day
she thought of the skipping rope of her
childhood. After a few weeks practice
she began to gain in health and to decrease
in size.
She makes daily record of 900 skips. As
she exercises several times a day, her rec
ord represents the sum total of her day
work. Her custom has been widely fol-
lowed. Women accustomed to outdoor ex-
ercises, and made wretched by confinement
indoors or to limited area, use the skipping
rope. Practiced with prudence, no other
form of exercise it is said, is equal to it in its
beneficial results or accomplishes greater
wonders in reducing fesh.-Pittsburg News.

quently disappeared from his estate and
would not be seen for weeks or months.
On these disappearances Mrs. Druce's
claims are based.
Mrs. Druce says that her father-in-law,
suffering from the keenest remorse and alb
ject fear after his brothers death, adopted
the name Of Thomas Charles Druce trans
ferred 10 himself as Druce an immense prop
erty from himself as duke of Portland.
Druce took a store in London, where he
was seldom seen. He did considerable tun-
neling from his London house; one noted
subterranean way led to a stable.
Finally, Mrs. Druce says, her father-in-
law. realizing the danger of exposure from
his double existence, determined to end
his life as Druce, and caused coffin to be
purled with his supposed body. A garden
sr, Nassar, swears that he received instruc-
lions from Druce to provide the lead and
that he consulted with Druce the night

TO Be LEAD OR BONES?
FAMOUS DRUCE COFFIN TO BE
OPENED AT LAST
On What Is Found May Depend Claims
to Estate and Title of Dukedom
of Portland

LONDON. Nov. 3-The high court OF ap-
peals has at last authorized the opening Oh
the coffin of Thomas G. Druce in Its vault
in Highqate cemetery. On the result may
depend the ownership of one of the greatest
dukedoms in the united kingdom. Ii bones
%, found there the story that has disturbed
the British aristocracy will be proved un-
founded. But if the coffin holds only
ump of lead-then the favorite OF London,
the friend of Queen Victoria, may lose the
vast estate and the great name OF the duke
Of Portland.
The case brought by Mrs. Thomas Druce
in second in interest only to that OF the
"Tichborne claimant" but the property IN
volved is vastly greater. The story told
bv the widow has not been shaken. 1t has
won some of the shrewdest lawyers of Lon
don. 1t involves all the elements of a melo-
drama. There is the fatal quarrel between
brothers over a woman: the assumption of
a dual life by the survivor for self-protec-
t;on: subterranean passages in plenty; the
burial of lump of lead in coffin, and
the death of the old duke alone; finally
there is the valet who is the rghtful heir.
Mrs. Druce claims that her father-in-
laws alleged death and burial, under the
name OF Druce, were ueceptlons, anu 'na'

two afterward, however. the pearls began
to lose their luster, and, much annoyed, he
took the necklace back to the jeweler who
sold it to him.
The salesman admitted the deterioration.

that the turquoise has q form of life, al

tually as flower, and all its color and bril-
liancy disappear. Its average life is impos

to be hundreds of years old; but it is prob

take oath to seeing Druce's 'ghost" many

WHY HE ASSUMED MADNESS
Even after Druce's death, Mrs. Druce
SAYS, his fears were not allayed and he de-
termined to assume madness, that, should
he ever be accused Of a crime, he might
have the plea of insanity to fall back upon.
Taking the name of Harner Tor Harmor)
and, conducting himself in most extrava-
CANT manner, he caused himself to be
placed under the care of DR.. Winslow,
whom he convinced of his madness, though
after year he was permitted to leave the

posed to be DR.. Harner.

Dangerous Practice

Two Irishmen wandered into a public
house where the electric call bells with the
press buttons had been introduced Oi
course, these excited their curiosity, and
when the waiter had supplied them with
what they wanted two ould ales), they
asked him what the buttons were for. When
the waiter explained, the Irishmen kept on
all night with the same cry: 1.-TWO more ould
ales, until they had to be helped outside.
Next morning their wives met in the
street, when one said:

and the dulzedom passed to his cousin, Will
lam John Arthur Charles james, the present
duke. A recently published estimate OF tne
dukes rent roll placed II at about s2,OuO,-
900 year.
Mrs. Druce contends that Druce, her
father-in-aw. whether from extreme eccen-
tricitv or fear, led double life, taking va
rous courses for his protection. She says
that while he was the Marquis OF Lltchheld,
before he became duke of Portland, he lived
for several years with her husbands mother
before marrying her. Several children were
born to them, but her husband, Walter
Druce, was the only child born after the
marriage.
THE DEATH OF LORD BENTlNCK
According to her story, the marquis, her
father law, and his brother, Lord George
Bentinck, were both in love with the same
woman. The climax came in the quarrel be-
tween the brothers in Welbeck abbey, the
seat of the Portlands. The marquis struck
Lord George who fell dead An autopsy
showed that he had died from a spasm OF the
heart. The marquis never recovered from
the feeling that he was murderer. He
was afflicted with an inherited disease that
affected his mind slightly and he believed
the mark OF Cain was on him.
1t was after the death of his brother
that the duke of Portland began a series

NOTES OF THE DAY

Bavaria has been shaken by law case in
volving the rights of the beer drinker and
the decay of beer drinking. A man entered
the Augustiner beer hall in Munich, and
asked for pony (one-quarter liter) glass
of beer. The waitress brought him a half
liter glass, which he refused, when he was
told that the proprietor would not sell a
smaller quantity. The man was a lawyer.
He brought suit and had the proprietor fined
10 marks. The case was appealed. The les
see of the Haufbrauhauss gave testimony
that till this decision was given no person in
the history of his establishment ever
dreamed of asking for less than half a liter
of Hofbrau. The court nevertheless gave
Judgment that landlords are bound to de-
liver goods in as small quantities as is rea-
sonable, charging a fair price, and that a
quarter of liter, even of Hofbrau beer, is
a reasonable quantity.
The first paper mill in Montana will soon
be erected at Manhattan, in that state The
material used in the manufacture is the
white barley straw grown in the Gallatin
valley, thus utilizing a product of the state
which heretofore has gone to waste. The
plant will be the only one of its kind in the
United States, as at the present time there
are mo paper mills IN JnlS country convert

there are few mills of this sort, while Ger
many has more than hundred mills which
manufacture pulp and paper from the Ger
man barley straw. The Germans export to
this country annually upwards of 5000 tons
| of straw pulp, on which they pay a tariff of
s. ton, placing it on the American market
at cents a pound.
medical scientist is authority for the
statement that children and old people es-
pecially suffer from lack of lime in the sy.-
tenn Persons who habitualy drink soft
water, while they may enjoy immunity from
certain of the ills of life, expose themselves
to others perhaps quite as much to be
avoided. Hard water helps the teeth and the
bones by furnishing lime, which is neces.
sary to health, growth and development.
Old persons who drink but little lose their
teeth more quickly than those who take a
reasonable amount of drinking water Lime

Scene in the Hospital at Guasimas

There is one incident Of the day which
shines out in my memory above all others
now as | lie in a New York hospital writ
ing. 1t occurred at the field hospital. About
dozen of us were lying there. continual
chorus of means rose through the tree
branches overhead. The surgeons, with
hands and barred arms dripping and clothes
literally saturated with blood, were strain
ing every nerve to prepare the wounded for
the Journey down to Siboney. Behind me lay
CAPTAIN McClintock with his lower leg bones
literally ground to powder. He bore his
pain as gallantly as he had led his men, and
that is saying much. | think Major Brodie
was also there. 1t was doleful group. Am
putation and death stared its members in
their gloomy faces.
Suddenly voice started softly:

Sweet land of liberty,

Other voices took it up:
Land where my fathers died,
Land of the Pilgrims pride
The quivering, quavering chorus, pune
tuated by groans and made spasmodic by
pain, trembled up from that little group of
wounded Americans in the midst of the
Cuban solitude-the pluckiest, most heart
ielt song that human beings ever sang.
Let Freedom ring.
There was one voice that did not quite
keep up with the others. 1t was so weak
that did not hear it until all the rest had
finished with the line:
Then hating, struggling, faint, it re-
peated slowly:

PEARLS DIE
Impossible to Estimate the Average
Life of the Gem

Professor Won Schroen of the Naples uni
versity declares that diamonds are alive.
Be this as it may, there would appear to be
many reasons for believing that some prec-
ious stones are affected by the health of the
wearer. A contribution to an English
weekly journal says: pearls and opals are
both said to grow dull through the ill-health
of her by whom they are worn, and the tur-
quoise is said to become pale from the same
cause; while | have heard, and on excellent
authority, though it is a fact that | can
hardly credit, of ruby ring, which, on the

color entirely.

the condition of the skin on which they
rest. An example of this fact is shown by
