Cbe Servant &ig .

A TWENTIETH CENTURY PROBLEM
While the womans clubs are tackling
and disposing of the problems of politics
and good government, 1t follows as a
natural consequence that man through
his instinct of social reciprocity IS go
ing to give a good share of his serious
thought to solution of the greatest of
all twentieth century problems-the ser
want girl question"
1t is a singular fact that nearly all
the papers relating to this problem of
domestic service which are now appear
ing in the magazines and periodicals are
written by men. Whether this manifes-
tation of interest in the servant girl
question is to be traced to mans stomach
or to his keen perception Of the unbusl-
nesslike and unscientif1c methods that OBJ
tain IN the management of the average
household is of little consequence COM
pared to the question Of the value or
practbility Of the remedies proposed. Is
man, who stands aloof from the turmoil
Of pots and kettles and who surveys the
unsatisfactory and sometimes disastrous
results of incompetent service In the
kitchen, capable of suggesting practical
schemes for placing this service upon a
basis of efficiency-the only basis he
would recognize In the employment of
help in his own factory or store or bank?
The difficulties that are presented by
the problem of domestic service are ably
and lucidly treated by Rev. Charles M.
The Saint Paul globe., 1901-01-27
Discussed by Rev.
Charles M. Sheldon.

Sheldon in a recent number OF the New
York Independent
Dr. Sheldon gives very accurate pic
ture Of the present very unsatisfactory
conditions and the causes leading to
them. He shows that in England within
the last ten years nearly 100000 girls
have left the service OF the family I'M
that country to enter service in shops
and factories. The American girl is no
longer found In the kitchens or homes
of Americans, and he assigns as one Of
the vital causes of this the Social os.
tracism" of those who heretofore have
offered their services as workers IN the
kitchen. American girls are starving
In the stores, unable to save a cent from
their wages, rather than work IN com-
Portable homes" says Mr.. Sheldon.
Eut what remedy does Rev. Mr. Shell
don offer for these unsatisfactory condi-
tions which vitally affect the home life
Of SO many people? He makes plea for
the education Of servants and for the
adjustment of the servant problem upon
immediate remedy. Most practical stu
dents of the servant question believe that
the only effective remedy lies In the ap-
plication to the domestic service of the
same principles and policies that govern
the employment of men and women in
all other departments of business This
may not suit the housewife, but many
believe We are coming to 1t.

OF the many forms of salutation the
custom OF shaking hands is the most
common among civilized nations IT un-
doubtedly comes from remote barbarism
when two men meeting gave each other
their weapon hand as a security
against treachery or sudden attack.
In some European countries it is usual
for men who are intimate friends to kiss
one another, but this custom prevails
only among ladies in this country and
Great Britain. In the greater portion Of
Germany it is an act of politeness to
Kiss the hand of a lady; but this privt eye
is allowed in Italy only to near reIa-
dves. while in Russia it is extended to
kissing the forehead. In Turkey it is
the custom to place the hands upon the
breast and bow to the person saIuted
Among the Oriental nations the charac-
ter Of salutations is quite different. The
custom Of throwing ones self upon the
ground and kissing the feet of the mon
arch prevails among the Persians. In

our troubles and trials until we magnify

TINS is absolutely selfish, and due to a
false craving for sympathy which is
really nothing in the world but egotfsm.
A good rule is never to talk about ones
affairs unless to ask advice in trying
situations; never to talk about ones
physical condition except to ones physi-
cian. 1t is enough to spoil the loyeliest
morning to have some member of the
family sit through the breakfast telling
how badly she slept and how terribly she

and self-command, and are educated TO

are remembered by perpetual honor by
their race, and for the perpetual good

make a boy despise his mothers care

make him deny his God and his Gods
