A DOMESTIC REFORM.


The discussion OF the so-called SER
want problem has suggested an expert
ment which is now being watched With
some interest A certain Edinburgh
professor thought the eight-hour rule
ought to apply 10 house work, and now
Mrs. Emmons Blaine, OF Chicago. is
testing the effects Of that rule In her
household.
The lady has a number OF cooks,
maids, buffers. laundresses, coachmen,
and gardeners. Those who begin at
a. m. are to be relieved OF p M
and these are TO be similarly relieved
at 10 .. m.
The experiment may be interesting
enough, but the number Of women who
can afford to have several sets OF help
In the house Is not large enough to Sc
cure popularity for a reform OF that
kind.
Probably the hired help IL entitled TO
more leisure hours than generally are
given them. but the idea Of keeping
double guard, as It were, must be
given up at the outset II It Is possible
to arrange It so that eight hours Of
paid help is all that is needed in a
household, there Is some chance for
the eight-hour rule. And probably, in
many households, that would be suf-
ficient But then what about the ques-
ton Of board and lodging2 There are
problems enough involved in this pro-
posed reform, to give point the remark
that Prof Geddes, Of Edinburgh may
be learned man with exceptional tai
ents. but II he knows when he is well
of he will steer clear Of America after
his eight.hour system becomes gen.
eral."

A DELlGHTsoME PEOPLE.


The 81. Louis Globe Democrat has
an interesting article on the condition
among the Indians in Indian Territory.
II proves what civilization has done,
and IS stir doing, both for the elevation
and preservation Of the ancient race.
When one comes TO the line that separ-
ates the States from Indian Territory,
the writer in the 81. Louis paper says,
there is little In the appearance Of the
people. their homes, or their habits TO
indicate that there Is another race.
There are busy towns. well cultivated
farms. handsome residences, books,
pictures and all outward evidences OF
culture. There are men and women cap
able Of holding their own in any capa-
city with their neghbors.
The women OF the five nations COM
mand special attention. They dress as
their white sisters. they have schools,
clubs and church societies, and read the
newspapers and latest books They are
far advanced on the road OF civilization.
AS instances Of this advancement. the
article describes some OF the Indian wo-
men, a few among many. There Is
Mrs. Elolse p. Bushyhead, now writing
the memoirs OF her deceased husband.
She II said 20 be a highly educated
lady, proud Of the Indian blood in her
