SERVANTS IN NORWAY,

Employment Bureaus Under Direction
of Municipal Governments.
From the Chicago Record-Herald.
The servant girl problem has been solved
in Norway to the satisfaction of all con-
cerned. In large cities like Bergen and
Christiania there is a central employment
bureau, under the direction Of the munich
pal government, and twice a year - one
week before New Year day and one week
before st. Johns day, the oath of June
there is general change OF servants by
those who are dissatisfied with existing
conditions, and engagements are made for
the ensuing six months or the year. Fam
lilies who want servants fill out blanks set
ting forth what Is required and the wages
they are willing to pay. These are filed at
the employment office and are noted in a
conspicuous manner upon q blackboard.
Women or men in search Of employment
go to this bureau during the week named,
examine the blackboard and apply to the
clerk In charge for further information. II
they desire to apply for a particular posi-
ton they submit their recommendations to
the clerk and IL he is satisfied he gives
them a card to the lady of the house. That
card is good for the day only, and must be
returned by the lady of the house before
the close of Office hours. If the girl is en-
out with a general statement as to her

another applicant be sent to her. If the
applicant Is satisfactory the lady OF the
house pays her bonus Of krone or 2
kroner, called hand money" that is. she
crosses her hand with silver as an EVIL
dence of good faith-and the girl agrees to
report for duty within one week after New
Year or midsummer day, as the case may
be. This is to allow her present employer

FUSSY GRAMMARIANS
Discussfon of the Phrase sMay ths
Best Boat Win,

From the New York Times
A fussy person up IN Albany solemnly ac-
cuses l,1I7 newspapers in this country of
having been guilty once or repeatedly, of
using superlative adjective in a compart-
son between two objects-to wit, the CO.
lumbia and the Shamrock. The phrase to
which the fussy person objects is. May the
best boat win We and the other 776
newspapers ought TO say, he declares. May
the better boat win" Misty memories
drifting over from studies pursued away
back in another century incline us to a be-
lief, or suspicion, or something of the
sort, that the fussy person is either right
In his contention or else that he has at
least an excuse for making it. But, the
error admitted, simply out of reverence for
the enemies OF youth, we turn 1erceIy upon
the Albanian critic and rend him with the
question, Can there possibly be anything
the matter with a phrase used by 1777
American newspapers. Grammarians are
estimable people SO long as they know their
place and keep IT, but when they become
pretentious and forget that whatever is, In
language, is right, they fully deserve the
snubbings they get from everybody not
fussy. May the best boat win runs giibly
from the tongue or pen, attracts no atten-
meaning quickly, forcibly and directly
while May the better boat win is not the
expression OF hearty, honest wish. but
pedant's demonstration that he knows the
rules of grammar, SO called. and never feels
an emotion Of any kind strong enough to
make him forget them for q moment.
Once a pretty good man wrote a pretty
good piece beginning: we, the people Of
the United States. in order to form a more
perfect union1' do such and such things
Now, viewed from the Aibanian's stand
point. more perfect" is a combination of
words little IL any less than criminal, for
OF perfection, obviously, there can be no

was himself a careful writer, as is shown
by the many changes he made in the first

nobody else has ever had the audaclty to
do 1t for him.

House Ventilation in Bombay,

Called to Railway Track
at 18th md {. Streets.

Charles Fernald, assistant engineer of
the District. has called the attention of the
engineer department to the fact that no
answer has been received from the COM
munication addressed in March to Mr..
George H. Harries, vice president of the
Anacostia and Potomac River Railroad
Company, by the secretary of the board Of
Commissioners requesting a declaration of
the intention of the railroad company re-
garding the tracks of that company at
18th and G streets southeast.
The computing engineer. c. B. Hunt, con-
ours with the recommendation of Mr.. Fer
nald that the railroad company. be again
requested to notify the District authorities
regarding the matter, as the work of paw
ing Pennsylvania avenue from 1lth to 18th
streets is now in progress, and while the
funds now available will possibly not carry
the Improvement to 18th street, where the
tracks are located, yet the determination OF
grades is involved i'll the removal or other
disposition of these rails. Mr. Hunt says:
Il would suggest that the railroad COM
pany be advised that in the event of fail
urc to receive response from it at the
time the paving of the avenue at 18th street
Is undertaken the District will construe the
absence of a reply indicating the aban-
donment of the track and will cause the
same to be removed and the space repaved
at the cost of the railroad company"
The Commissioners have approved the
recommendation and the company will be
SO informed.
