A Shrewd! Butcher.

The .employu)ent. agency that
deals with the most costly servants
in New York is situated in an up
town butcher, shop which shows no
outward indication Of this phase Of
its work. 1t is patronized by the
wealthiest New Workers, who en-
gage their cooks there. As these
cooks draw salaries ranging from
81 1000 to $4,000, the engagement of
one of them is more or less impor-
tant matter. .'lNoXfees, are paid by
the servants or by the master, but
nobody doubts that the proprietor
makes his profit out of the arrange
ment, It is not to be thought that
the grateful cook who received
through his instrumentalitys en-
ployment that brings him several
thousand dollars d year will forget

Though ran over for years by

are turning southward in search Of

form certain amount of work with
in the period of 80 days. The man
ner in which such labor shall be per-
formed is not only optional and of
course regulated by circumstances.
Ii in the form of a shaft the opening
thus made must be ten feet deep to
comply with the law, if a tunnel it
must be eXcavated for a distance Of
ten feet and in an open cut the ex-
eavation must compare with the
amount of earth excavated in run

Whether the language Of the act
explicitly conveys this idea or not it
is implied beyond dispute and would
be sustained in any court in the
State, Recorders should be very
careful in making records and unless
personally cognizant that such labor
has been performed should prompt
orilly refuse to record unless the To-
locator makes affidavit to the same.

achievement Of the twentieth century.
Five years ago we could only conceive
