Domestic Arts.

IN France, Germany, Belgium and
Holland girls are drilled from the era
die in every branch of the domestic
arts. A French or German maid-of-all
WORK is household treasure-iust be-
cause she has been taught her busi-
ness Cooking and housework do no,
come naturally. We don't expect a
carpenter or plumber to learn his trade
oy instinct but we expect miracles in
our Kitchens, and we ask Ann TO nar-
form duties she has never been taught
There is plenty of capacity in tho
working girl, but she needs to be help
ed and technically trained in domestic
arts and crafts.

FREAKS IN LUNCH ORDERS.
Waiter Calls Attention to the Imita.

Waiter Calls Attention to the Imita.
tive Habit Among Patrons.
One Of the amusing things to be no.
ticed at the lunch counters is the habit
of imitation. If the man on the end
studies the bill of fare and then orders
ham sandwich, pumpkin pie, a la
glass Of milk, all his neighbors are like
ly to duplicate his order and soon there
will be whole row eating exactly the
same things. Sometimes this similar
ity of appetite causes serious embar
rassment. This is invariably the case
If the occupants of the high chairs shift
about the same time and the men on the
end have numerous chances to set ex
amples for twenty or thirty patrons
Then the pumpkin pie or Sandwiches
are sure to give out before the noon
hour is past.
TITS funny how lazy people are" said
one of the walters at a downtown
lunch place. "There are lots of men
who won't look at bill of fare and
they just stare over the counter and
ask for anything that comes into their
heads, If they don't happen to see an-
other fellow eating just what they
want. If we have something sort Of
out of the ordinary, like fried oysters,
something that can be written on the
card in ink so it will make good i'm
preston on the public, it's losing IN
vestment if the fellow on the end near
the door happens to pick it out. Then
every one that passes him sees the oys'
ters and soon there is a regular chorus
Of yells of oysters. There amt a pa
tron that wants corn beef hash or cold
tongue.
People are just like sheep or geese.
They like to follow leader If it's 10
nothing but eating. I've seen Dig
worded articles about thoughts and
ideas being catching or contagious Any
philosopher who has a chance to wall
on lunch counter would believe 10
that there theory. Ideas is as catch
ing as the measles and don't you for
get it."

A Walk with Ishbel.

you are not stupid boy and you have

"You know what mean," said Ish-
bel with severity. when | was quite

Ishbel adjusted her hatpin. "Once
there was a girl" she began, "who at
the age of II was sent to England to
visit her fathers people. That's rather
a nice beginning, Isn't it?" she inter-
rupted herself. 1T sounds as Ii II

you would read it2'

"Of course"

There was dangerous glitter In her
eye.

There is no word for her smile but de-
llcious,
"Do go on" said. did she like

'Weil. some of them" doubtfully.
"you see they We're English and she
was an American"
Yes"
"And and young, they bullled her
little. The next time" with animation,

think they'll bully me-"
81 don't fancy they Will"
"And so you see she didn't have as
good a time as she might exactly. But
she did have love affair.""
"Oh." said |.

didn't exactly propose. but he told her
he had only 800 a year, and that OF

England to marry on that, and he

rur POINT OF VIEW.
Thing, Appear Differently to Different
Ex

Things Appear Differently to Diherent
Eyes.
One of the essential things for one
that would influence Others is the aDll-
tv TO see things as they look to those
whom he addresses. A lack of this
ability has been responsible for tne
failure of many persons that would
otherwise have been successful as
teachers. missionaries, lawyers Defore
iurles, and even orators and statesmen.
Striking illustrations of the dinerent
aspects things wear in the eyes OF dif-
ferent people are constantly coming TO
light.
A party of American travellers, jour
neying lelsurely up the Nile, expressed
desire to celebrate Washington s
birthday in some appropriate manner.
Their chief accordingly prepared a
great frosted cake. upon which he ex-
ecuted in confectionery representa-
ton Of George Washington. after hav-
ing familiarized himself with the life
and achievements of his subject.
As represented in sugar Washington
wore turban on his head and great
sash across his breast; he was smok-
ing a long pipe, and before him some
dancing girls were performing. This
was the way the greatness of George
Washington looked to the Arab chef.
In China, that land of strange con-
trasts, many amusing instances of. a
similar kind may be found. Pilgrims
Progress" as recently translated and
illustrated by native artists, shows
Christian with long pigtail, the dun
geon of Giant Despair as the familiar
wooden cage of Chinese criminals,
while the angels are arrayed in the
latest productions of Pekin dressmak-
ers.
A Chinese publication describes
Americans as ''living for months with
out eating a mOuthful of RICE" and nev-
er enjoying themselves "by sitting
quietly on their ancestors graves"
but, instead, jumping around and kick
ing a ball as If paid for it.
How does this thing look to the
Turk, the Chinaman, the Boer, the
Engllshman, the northerner, the south
erner is the question that we should
answer, in any controversy, before be-
coming too sure of our own position.
