should be made between mistress and maid merely because there is a differ ence in the matter of property. The maid is just as good as the mistress the only difference between them being the accident of birth and circumstances. The mistress may have been a washerwoman in her early life, and her maid may be the daughter of lawyer in reduced cir cumstances, There is nothing degrading in toll, and the maid who works is as honorably employed as the mistress whom she serves.
 "There is a great opportunity for Christian service in the relations of mistress and maid. The kitchen may be made much more comfortable and at- tractive by the use of plants and pie lures It Is cruel to assign to the maid a room where she experiences the ex- tremes of heat and cold with no miti- gating circumstances. She should be given a clean and comfortable apart- ment, made attractive by pictures and books. This is done by philanthropic people for residents of the slums; why should they not do it for the servants living with them under the same roof?" Boston Transcript,

 A well known attorney is telling a good story on himself. He had been re- taned to defend a counterfeter, and advised him to plead guilty His client did so, and as there was in the mind of the court fixed idea that if prisoner pleads guilty he does so because he has no attorney, the judge asked him why he made that plea.
 Because my lawyer told me to-

 "Yes. He told me I would have no show before this judge"

THE PARTIALLY MUSICAL.

There are multitudes of them in Lon don. They go about uttering the pas sionate cry, Give us a tune!" Their desire for tune might well move di- unfinished seventh to tears, or cause the stoutest augmented fourth to quail and respect the triad. It is no manner of use telling them that there are tunes in the operas of Wagner, that the ''Meis- tcrsiuGer'' streams with tunes, that Tristan is full of melody, that the woodbird music in "Siegfried, the spring night music in Die Walkure," is magically tuneful, thatthe overture to "Tannhauser" and the third act of "l4o- hengrin' contain airs to turn us into mandarns. They reply that they want tunes that are tunes. Never argue with them. It is useless and leads to dis cords and they prefer concords, though very often they could not tell you the difference between one and the other

They cannot dssect music, nor do they desire to. They de- cline to use their intellect in connection with a gay art-as they consider it. What they want is to sit in a eomforta- ble seat and hear tunes. Yet they are not the totally unmusical, They are the partially musical, and they have every right to be considered. Also they can be gently educated, if you don't let them know it, just as children can swallow pills if they don't know they are small lowing pills, but are totally unable to get them down if they do.-London World.

Alderman Atwater made a good start in his new office last evening by intro ducing a resolution directing the boss of the public works to see that the set tees which belong on the public squares be put where they belong. This resolu- tion was passed, and it is understood that the settees will be put back by the ever-glorious fourth of next month. Sev- eral more or less good reasons why the settees are not in their places have been given, but none is good enough to jus tify their absence.

MILLIONS IN CORNSTdTKS

If Colonel Sellers were alive to-day he
 would be conspicuous in the Trust busi-
 ness, and he might be at the head of the
 great Cornstalk Trust which is being
 organized to make use of the 250, oO0, ,OOC
 tons Of cornstalks that go to waste
 every year. The cornstalk is to be de-
 veloped by the new trust into com
 mercial commodity. According to the
 New York Commercial, our farmers
 have hitherto been throwing away s9OO,-
 OOO,OO0 a year in stalks. The yield of
 stalks averages three tons to the acre.
 the acreage averaging S0000, ,O0O, and but fraction of this is utilized as fod- der During the last twenty years our farmers have destroyed, it is estimated by the Commercial, SIS, 900, 900, ,000 worth of their product-a value equal to the sum total of their mortgages plus the public debt. This sum the new trust proposes to enable the farmers to put in their pockets during the next score of years.
 Six different commodities are now be- ing manufactured from cdrnstalks, namely, cellulose, worth $400 ton, used by the government as an automatic hole-stopper for battleships; excellent cardboard, fine grade of paper, an un- equalled foundation for dynamite, a patent cattle food and a superior glue. The value of the cellulose lining for warships is well known. When a leak develops the celulose swells in such a manner as to automatically close it. With fifteen tons of stalks, worth S90, one ton of such cellulose is made. for which, as already stated, the govern ment is now paying at the rate of $400 a ton. Two factories, one in Rockford, Illinois, and another in Owensboro Ken lucky, are now making cornstalk cellu- lose, together with other products. of less value. As respects the cornstalk cattle food, it is stated that the stalks when ground to a coarse meal, cooked, sWeetened with molasses and pressed into cakes form one of the most nutri- tive and valuable foods yet placed on the market. The absorptive power of dust fits it admirably for the of dynamite by mixing with nitro-glycerine, such dust being superior even to guncotton. Five fac tories are to be at once erected in addl- ton to those already in operation.
 The man who makes a blade of grass grow where none grew before isn't much with the cornstalk man.

BR0THER yEFERrEs, MEND.

The pious father of the Hon, James Jeffries seems to consider his efficient son rather dead in trespasses and sins, but he has strong hope that the soul of him will vet be saved alive. Dr. Seav- CT of Yale has been reported as saying that the Hon. James is mentally dead. A man spiritually and mentally dead is not in a very good way. It is inter esting to notice that Jeffries himself makes no claim to the possession of either spiritual or mental life. But his manager, MT. Brady, rises to remark that Brother Jeffries isn't mentally as dead as he looks. This is the way MT. Brady talks: I will admit that he ap- pears mentally dead, for the reason that he is on-communicative. But he is by no means mentally dead in a twenty-four foot ring, and his physical condition is as good as ever, notwith- standing what pr. Seaver says. He is fit to fight with a khort fortnight's training. He can take care of his heart and his stomach all right too. Mental ly dead, is he? We'll, if Yale would go back to its old system of trainers in- stead of physical directors it would have fewer "dead" athletes.
 Of course this talk by MT Brady is no proof that the California Cyclone is mentally alive, although it does indicate that his manager is at least kicking. But it is interesting, as all the talk about the great of this world is. If Brother Jeffries should ever happen to De simultaneously alive in his spiritual, mental and physical departments what man he would be.

F.ISHION NOTES.
Hidden Aids to the sheath Fit.

She who is going in for the eel skirt should get out of the old style under wear. The average woman sighs and wears her corsets over gauge silk shirt just long enough to pull down to their lower edge, but with no extra length to roll up. Thus the gauge mere- ly serves to keep the corset from con- tact with the skin Then she slips into gauge tights that fasten by a yoked belt, or which, better still are one with a loW-necked corset cover. From the edge of the eorsets to the top of the corset cover the gauge thickens to a slightly ribbed and highly elastic weave that is calculated to soften all effect of bones, eyelets and top of corset line, so that no ugly bumps shall show through the cloth of the "gummed on" gown. The tights come to below the knee, the stockings drawing over, and either fas- tening by round garters or by long gar ters, for which buttons on the corsets pass through eyelets in the tights.
 This style of rig is, to say the least, severe in outline, and as many women like to look dainty in their undress there are several compromises, The corset cover is of the sheerest lawn and finished at the waist in flat fitted belt into which it is drawn in soft folds that will soften the corset bones, but not be bunchy. Drawers set on deep yoke belt that makes them flat over the back. They are cut short, and full umbrella

MISTRESS AND MAID.

Mistress and Maid" was the attract i've title of an informal talk given by Dean Hodges of Cambridge recently be- fore the School of Housekeeping.
 In beginning, Dean Hodges said "There are two aspects of the question, economic and personal. One of the main difficulties on the economic side is in- competency. The mistress knows what she wants, but she don't know how it should be done. The maid, too, often knows little or nothing. There was a time when the various occupations of q household were done inside of the house, but thes are now being performed out side, with the exception of cooking and chamberwork. It may be that in time the dinners in the house will be cooked by some one who comes from the out side, just sa the trained nurse does"
 The speaker thought it would be bet ter to view the matter from the maids standpoint. "The three essential prin- ciples to be considered are common hon. esty, common courtesy. and common sense,' he continued. "One of the most difficult things to contend with Is the letter of reference Too often this de-
  cept the most important. The maid is said to have all the domestic virtues, but nothing is said about her bad tenn per There is also a want of honesty shown, especially among the rich, in the payment of bills, It is nothing but com mon honesty to pay the maid promptly what is due her. It is also essential that she should have some time given for herself These should be unbroken spaces without interruption When ex- tra work is put upon the maid she should be paid for it in the same ratio that she is entitled to by the terms of her employment.
 "Common courtesy is something that should be continuous and not intermit- tent If everybody was simply kind there would be a most marked change in the personal relations of the world, There is no reason why a maid waiting on a table should not be treated with the same courtesy as the guest. When she is requested to do a thing she should be asked to do it in a respectful manner. The word please is most essential
 Common sense is really the fitness of things. and this is most important in the most trifing matters. As long as the work is done properly, the details should not be too closely considered, be- cause this is liable to create much fric- ton. It is not necessary, in extending courtesy to the maid, to require her to sit at the table with the family, be- cause the maid might not find it agree able to do so. Christian democracy teaches us that no social distinction

A good work has been undertaken by the graduates of the Perkins Institution for the Blind in Boston in locating all the blind persons in New England who are in need of instruction in reading or in work that will find a market. The school will not accept pupils over nine teen years of age, and the purpose of the grateful Perkins alumni is to assist those who are excluded by the age linn itation from the privileges of the school. These self-appointed teachers are to find out what is most needed, and then to give help to the best of their ability. A special point will be made of impress ing upon people the wisdom of learning to read before they are totally blind. Many people are simply troubled with weak eyes, or their sight is failing slow ly. and they do not find it possible to use their eyes as freely as they would. For these people to learn to read by the sense Of touch is a great saving of eye sight. and much happiness is derived from the accomplishment.
