some draperies added. The new drap-

the Elysee are noticeable, at first
glance, for three things-the ceilings
and chandeliers, the carved woodwork
and the prOfusiOn of tapestries that
line the walls.
Naturally the presidential family
take little comfort in the ground floor
OF the palace. Their life is lived on the
second floor. There are only two floors
in the Elysee. The apartments OF
"demi-ceremonie" consist of the official
salon of the presidents wife, the salon
OF the president, large billiard room,
a dining room, a smaller salon and a
presidential cabinet. The guests to
the official balls are allowed to visit
these apartments, which are in the left
wing of the palace. The strictly pri-
vate rooms are in the left wing. The
one parlOr which Nine. Faure could
call her own was the salon of "demi-
ceremonie," because the energetic Mile.
Lucie needed so much space for her
boudoirs. Boudoir comes from boulder,
which means to pout. In old times it
was in her boudor that the angry
damsel locked herself when out of tenn
per and disguised with the world. 1t
is said generally that Nine. Loubet will
find more breathing space in the left
wing of the Elysee than did her patient

Our Wonderful Languaee.

A little girl was looking at a picture
of a number OF ships when she ex-
claimed, See what a flock of ships!"
We corrected her by saying that a
flock of ships was called fleet, and a
fleet of sheep is called a flock. And
here We may add. for the benefit Of
the foreigner, who is mastering the
intricacies of our language, in respect
to nouns of multitude, that a flock OF
wolves is called a pack, a pack of
thieves is called a gang, and a gang
of angels is called host, and host OF
porpoises is called a shoal, and a shoal
of buffaloes is called a troop, and a
troop of pardridges is called a covey,
and a covey of beauties is called a
galaxy, and a galaxy of ruffians is
called a horde, and horde of rubbish
is called a heap, and heap of oxen is
called a drove. and a drove of black
guards is called mob, and a mob of
worshipers is called a congregation,
and a congregation of engineers is
called corps, and corps of robbers
is called swarm, and a swarm of peo-
pie is called a crowd, and a miscella-
neous crowd of city folks is called the
public.-Satchel.

selves, the men being well known to
all the Senators and Representatives
who have served any time and to the

jority of them are men who have
passed middle age and are of emf

many, of the jobs in Washington are
sinecures, with good pay at that. The
office of guide differs entirely in this
respect from any other. They are po-
sitions the appointments to which are
not sinecures and have no salary at
tached. Whatever is made is in the
way of tips from the visitors who are
shown the sights. Heretofore the
guides have been allowed so cents an
hour for party not exceeding three
persons. Since the Guides association
has been formed the sum of 25 cents
is usually asked from each member
of the party unless fixed charge is
arranged in advance. The fact that
the Congressional Library is now To-
Gated in its own building is great
loss to the guides. Guides are not al
lowed in the new building.
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1899-05-11

A New York young woman is at the
head of club that ought to be shipped
and started for Detroit. 1t is for the
mutual improvement of servants. They
are taught the duties of the household
in scientific way, and this club is
their headquarters. Lack of special
training is the cause of much of the
trouble between mistress and servant.
If young person wishes to engage
as lady's maid she should know how
to dress the hair, manicure, pedicure,
and sew. 1t is the same way with the
cook, laundress, waitress and the rest;
each should understand her respective
requirements. Having been taught,
her intelligence not only enables her
to earn better wages and to hold her
situation, but her work becomes more
interesting to herself. This club
gives certificates to servants that have
learned how to do their work prof.
GENTLY. 1t also regulates wages in
proportion to duties and fills positions.
Another idea lately launched in New
York is that OF young woman who
offers to go to private residences and
teach inefficient dOmestics. She also
teaches housekeepers the best methods
of marketing and entertaining, and is
paid for her work by the hour.
