 who creates an atmosphere of discom- fort wherever his abominable self se- iects an abiding place. He never sits comfortably, sleeps comfortably or eats comfortably. He Is always too hot when not too cold. He comes home at dinner like a whirl wind, sits dwn with a jerk. eats as if afflicted with an epileptic fit, gets up with a grunt and starts off with a rush to return and repeat the proceed ings in the evening. The chair occu- pied by the uncomfortable man takes on at once a look of cranky proportions; the sigar he smokes as if operated by a bellows, assumes a krinkled aspect, the food he shoves onto his plate. and into his mouth, appears like a repast prepared for the digesriye-apparatus of the stomach of an ostrich. When he drinks water it is fired into his anat- omy as if for the purpose of drowning a dire enemy lurking in hts throat to manreads the morning paper he grasps it spasmodically as if lighting fire, rushes oyer the headlines. growls at the policy of the editors, and throws it on the floor. Such an inviting ar ticle for the next person who might wish to know the news.
 The uncomfortable man is not in curablo but the methods require pa tience on the part of the physician, as the man is never aware of his afflic- tion.
 The bad paymaster Is he whose fam- fly can never keep a servant. and whose conviction 1t is that the servant problem is the problem of most im- portance of this age. He believes that there are no good washwomen no good cooks, no good coachmen. The rapid changes in the dramatic personel of the labor corps of his household keeps him dizzy and injures his digestion. He is King in his little Kingdom, and every person in the list of his subjects is a pauper and a slave. Not in his estimation, O "laborer worthy of his hire" as should be the case.
 Frequently the whole trouble is that he is a bad paymaster. I hold that there is no such thing as thS ser want trouble In a household where prompt and sufficient paying is the rule. Tho man who spends, money freely in every other direction. who is willing to pay an un- necessarily extensive grocery bill will not only refuse to pay good cook 70 because he can get a bad one for $0, but will give the $6 cook her wages so I reluctantly, so irregularly and so grudgingly, that even she has no in centive to remain. So she is, perhaps, only a matter of a month, when anoth- CT trial is made and another failure is recorded. When the wash-woman of this bad paymaster's finally brings in the clothing. she is more than apt to be greeted with the news \ haven't the change" MT. B. - did not leave it. I'll get it for you Monday" It is Saturday and perhaps the poor toiler has no food for Sunday. This man has taken the heart out of the wash woman and humiliated his wife who Is of course a pauper and who, if course, deserves to be. Most women do, for the average woman could not keep the servants wages q half day and hand them over intact. It would burn her pocket. She would want something.
 But 1 am not discussing types of wo- men now. It is the present economy to have a bad servant If the whole amount to be expended on the table
 is $50 per month. It vii! pay to let
 eight of it go to a good COOK. Then lay her first of J. Never let her
 wait day and never pay in advance
 or in dribets. It is also bad plan
 to sell anything for which payment will have to be deducted from heI wages. If the old clothes business en-
 ters the workings of the home 1t is
 best that the customers be other peo-
 ple's servants.
 Pay sufficient. pay promptly. and de-
 mand good servise, Mister man and
 you will find things will go better al
 home.
 The man who must be humored ant
 cuddled all the time is multitudinous
 He is the infant of the household oi
 which he regards himself the head
