SERVANTS LIVERY.

As an example let us take that work
most looked down upon by the people
who undertake it--domestc service.
A coachman, butler or footman is or
dered to shave and wear livery, and
! have never heard OF an instance
whore any objection was raised As for
the footman, the livery into which he
crawls without 4 murmur is often as
absurd q set OF clothes as any ever In
vented and in this unmistakable mark
OF his calling he is even made to stand
waiting by the hour outside a shop,
carrying some little pampered pet OF a
noodle, and so lacking In human dig
nifty is he that he is apt to play with
the dog and while away the time as
best he may.
On the other hand. n housemaid or
nurse who objects 10 wearing a cap
is not an unusual experience and is
especially one TO be expected II the
maid In question be American born.
The argument Is, OF course that The
woman has more selr-respect than the
man, and that she has an additional
dose OF self-esteem when she is a free
American born citizen. But this is
so thin an excuse that one may look
straight through 1t and see the lament
able lock OF self-respect IN person
who ,~s not sufficient dignity to dig
Nifty whatever work is undertaken, be
1t even Of the most dcspised kind If
we are ashamed to openly acknowledge
to the world what we are doing to earn
an independent living, we are not too
good for the work we do, but the work
is too good for rs Harper's Bazaar.

sstance, 1t came 10 such a pass that
the mere appearance of Col Stotsen-
burg was the signal for a charge.
When Col. Stotsenburg crossed the
ield towards his men they rose from
that ditch with shout, For hours
they had lain under the scorching sun,
exposed more or less to the enemy's
fire, without answering. Many wounded
had already been taken back. There
came their colonel He would led
them to victory, as he had always done.
Nebraska with a wild cheer started
forward They had gone some distance
before Gen. Hale realized what they
were doing.
Why be exclaimed, they are not
coming back; they are going forward!
Stop theml"
IN try said Mai Milford, but
when they once get started they are
hard to stop."
When the major reached the Ne
braska line, however It was so near
the insurgent trenches that he realized
the folly of bringing it back over the
open field and instead of delivering
Gen. Hales order he joined in the
charge
Col. Stotsenburg had to run to get
up with his regiment. When he reached
them the first enthusiasm of the charge
had worn of He shook them into
form and the little companies now
went ahead by rushes--alternate COM
panies kneeling to fire While others ad-
yanced, The insurgents made an eff
fort to stop them Every Mauser from
the trenches emptied It's contents
across the open field AS the Ameri-
can line advanced the Utah guns had

in those trenches, the position could
not have been taken by infantry on a
direct charge. Gradually the firing
from the trenches grew less and less.

other victory for Nebraska, but dearly

were counted, 1t was found that seven
were killed and A wounded. Nearly

THE HAITIAN's CONSERVATISM


The Haitian is a wonderful example
OF conservatism. What was, must be
right, \ few years ago the town Of
Port de PaiX, owing to an unexpected
progressive spir. on the part of the
government, constructed some fine
water works. The town was well
piped, with hydrants at short distances
on all the streets. Decorative fountains
We're placed in the squares, drinking
places for man and Beast everywhere.
The natives, as usual, took not the
slightest interest in this important
and necessary undertaking. At last,
when completed, in accordance with
ia q custom OF the country, the water
system was opened with series OF
fetes. The whole section of the coun-
try had a hilarious holiday balls, pro-
cessions, coeiSfights, etc. When these
were all over, the natives came 20 the
conclusion that the water works must
have been built to give an eXcues for
them, and the water works were no
longer of any service, so they promptly
smashed the whole system up, returned
to carting the citys water from the dis
tant river by OK teams Now they tie
their animals TO the hydrants, fall over
the fragments of the pipes scattered
round the streets, and are happy
