them, but 1t never occurs to her to do
missionary work in her own home. The
mistresses say that it is such trial for
them to have servant who does not
know everything that they do not know.
This reminds me of a certain servant
girl who applied for position, stating
what wages she desired. and her quail
tications for the position. "But you are
inexperienced. How can you ask 50
much!" replied tho mistress.
Sure. num-" replied Bridget, isn't
it harder for me to do these things when
| don't know how"
The other side Of TIE story is that
after the Christian mistress has done
missionary work for year. taking girl
who couldn't boil water without scorch-
ing it. and initiating her into the art OF
housekeeping. just as soon as she be-
comes moderately capable, she leaves
for another place where she can earn
fifty cents a week more. Not infre-
quently is it the familiar friend Of the
mistress who beguiles her away.
The next speaker for the girls side Of
the question said:
A girl is expected to have the endu-
rance of an iron machine. aud no more
sensibilities than machine. A mistress
doesn't want an intellectual servant.
The mistress employs her servant on the
same considerations that a southern
planter bought his slaves before the
Sar-physical strength. 1t is because
of the hardheartedness OF these women
employers tnat girls prefer to do almost
any kind Of work rather than be under
their domination.
There is good deal of nonsense about
that. 1t is true, in general, loose way,
but it is Just as often untrue. The mis-
tress who hires girl to do her work ex-
poets that she will do it; if she cannot,
she should say so. 1t isn't expected that
people who work for living will have
their work done for them and their
wages go on when they have headache.
don't know why the hired girl should
expect it. None of the rest OF US do.
The girl who sews, or clerks, or type
writes, or does shorthand, or acts as a
cashier doesn't consider her employer
slave driver simply because he expects
her to be in her place, doing her work.
When she takes position she expects
to give up the luxury Of nerves and
backaches and that last half hour in the
morning that would make her late for
her Car. She looks upon business in a
business-like way. 1t would be blessed
good thing if other girls, who are hired
the same as she is, could do the same
thing, and when they do they will be
BETTER treated.
The whole proposition is wrong from
start to finish, but it will never be set
tied so long as mistress and maid regard
each other as natural enemies.
Once upon time a woman | did not
know spoke to me very kindly about
certain bit of writing; asked her name.
She hesitated, and then said, 81 am Mrs.

know her, but what is your own name?"
She told me, and afterward | met the
mistress in question. 1T is true that
she is my maid" she said, "but l am
proud to say that she is also my friend.
She is a woman that any one might be
glad to know"
Verify, there are mistresses and mis-
tresses, and then again there are maids

"Nover mind about the penalty. Rath

IS BEHIND THE TINES
West Point Condemned by
Visiting Board.
uNSANlTARY AND UNCOMFORTABLE.
Cadet Barracks snid to BE Little
uctts- Than Those of Average
County Poorhousc--Prnise
For Colonel Mills.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-The most
important feature of the report of the
board of visitors to the West Point
Military academy is n recommendation
that the academy be rebuilt The re-
port says:
at has been nearly hundred years
since West Point was founded, and
from the birth Of the institution nearly
all the improvements have been on the
patchwork plan. There is bt. one build
ing constructed by the government at
the post that is In harmony with this
day and generation. All the others are
old, uncomfortable and entirely made
quate to meet present conditions. Few
of them are equipped with any of the
conveniences now to be found in the
average public school building in the
country districts of many of the states.
1t can be truthfully said that there is a
pressing necessity for n complete tear
ing down and n new building up. The
policy pursued in this regard at Annap-
oils should be speedily adopted at West
Point. Nothing can be gained by post
ponement. Indeed it seems to the board
that almost every dollar spent in the
future for 'enlargng here and altering
| and patching there is so much money
| thrown away. The enlarged duties and
| responsibilities of the military as re-
lated to the recently enlarged sphere of
| American influence and power are such
as not only to Justify hut force congress

| the Military academy.
Putting the matter in few words,

many of the rooms three cadets are

Features of the present arrange

are the electric light and gas plants, no

FIRE BURNED ALL DAY.
Loss Estimated at S25O, 900 to Boston
Varnish store.

BOSTON, Nov. ia little under a
quarter of a million was the loss by an
all day fire which started in the seven
story granite building at the corner of
Broad and Franklin streets, occupied
by the Murphy Varnish company. a
steady rain last night helped out the
fire department amazingly. The fire
proved unusually stubborn because Of
the nature of the stock on fire. Varnish
tanks exploded during the morning,
and blazing fluid ran in all directions
on the surface of the water. About
$4,000 gallons of varnish was burned.
The fire broke out at 80 and for an
hour was exceedingly fierce in aspect,
and then it died down. The firemen
thought they had it under control.
Then small explosions, probably of
varnish barrels, began, and later two
| immense tanks went up. In conse-
luence the walls of the building will
| be raZed for safety.
