In Germany the government takes
hand in the servant girl problem and OBJ
tains one good result, she cannot change
her situation every week in the year.
The government has an eye upon her ev-
cry movement and is kept posted through
Its police system. Employing a domestic
in Germany is a business transaction.
The girl calls, is engaged and then her
employer must go to the police station
and pay a cent for a blank upon which
the information concerning the new girl
required by government is recorded.
There are spaces for her full name, where
she came from, whether married or sin
gle, her position, the date of her birth.
her own home and if married additional
information concerning her immediate
family.
If she has children, the government will
look out for them. She must pay regu-
lar fee to the insurance or death fund
that she may not become public charge
in case of disablement or death. There
is an advantage to the girl in this govern
mental interest, for she cannot be dis
charged without cause. When she does
leave, the employer buys another card,
green in color, on which the same csm-
plete description of the departing domcs-
tic as that on the white card is recorded.
That must be left at the police station
right away, for government brooks no de
lay in these matters.
This is the system by which the police
have their fingers on every man, woman
and child in Germany. Any infringement
Of the rules is promptly punished by ar
rest and a fine. The result is noted in the
harmonious relations existing between
employers and employees who, for the
most part, are Industrious and quiet, will
ing to do anything asked of them, but ex-
pecting a degree of tolerance which many
American women are not willing to give,
Such relations will be possible in this
country only with reform in both parties,
justice on the part of the employers
faithful work from the employed, the
kind of work we all ought to give, the
best in us.-Betty Bradeen in Boston

Spring House Cleaning Helps.
{ Written for the Citizen


They do say that some of the
best hOuSekeeperS in the whole
country live in Maryland. hence it
may seem like presumption to
give advice to such, but it is by
experience that we learn some of
the little helps that come almost
by intuition. We hear less of for
midable house cleaning now than
in the old times when no one was
/ thought to be a good manager
who did not turn her whole es-
adjustment up side down and
give the family weeks of discom-
fort. All that is changed. Now
a home is cleaned by degrees
one or two rooms at at time
and it is bad enough then, |
think. What | want to help nv
sister housekeeperS in is the clean
ing OF her carpets which she does
not care to lift or shake. | have
cleaned some to look like new by
this simple process, and not much
labor either. 1t is great help
i'll spring cleaning TO lay in two
new brooms. There is a great
deal of difference in the quality
of work that broomS will do and
the length of time they will last,
and this is due to the care that
is taken of them. A great many
persons have an idea that every
woman knows how to sweep, but
| have hired help that simply
swept as if digging up dirt and
almost made holes in the carpet.
One should sweep with quick, firm
strokes that will clean the carpet
without injuring it. The method
of cleaning | write to tell you of
is this: First have all the furni-
ture moved out of the room that
You can and raise windows, open
doors and sweep the carpet care
fully all over; then make a bucket
OF warm soft SudS and dissolve
enough pearline into it to make
good suds and dip Your broom,
which must be new or perfectly
clean, into the sudS and sweep
width of the carpet at time I'M
til the cOlOrs look clean and
bright Don't use the water after
1t becomes soiled or black, but
throw it out and renew fresh suds
prepared like the first. Keep this
up until all the carpet is swept
clean, then let it dry before walk
ing on it. 1t allays the dirt and
restores the carpet to its original
newness. You will be charmed
with the results. To clean and
polish copper utensils and door
plates rub hard with a wooden
cloth dipped in a solution of
oXalic acid. This will clean all
the tarnish and remove spots that
have been there long time; then
rub off with dry cloth. You
can take paint or putty spots off
of glass by rubbing with a solu.
ton of soda water.

Queen Alexandra has once or twice
played in public for charity, and she PROV
ed then to the very limited public admit
ted to hear her that she was an uncom-
monty good amateur, musical and well
taught. Sir Charles Halle was one of her
teachers, and on the piano she is more
faclle than on any other instrument, al
though she plays the harp and dulcimer
and has been able TO entertain herself and
her friends on the guitar. She is an en-
thusiastic Wagnerian in operate taste
and has made repeated pigrimages to
Bayreuth.
One year IL was necessary for the sake
of the Wagner operas to have at Covent
Garden Jean de Reszke, who was not in
the least inclined to come to London
that year. The Princess of Wales, as she
was then, learned that the tenor might
decide not to join the company at Covent
Garden, and she knew that that would
cause the failure of the Wagner season,
if not the complete Abandonment Of
Christian und Isolde" and "Siegfricd."
So she wrote the tenor a personal letter
requesting him not to fail to come to
Covent Garden for her sake and for that
of the many Wagner admirers who had
counted on him to lend brlliancy to the
season. NJ. de Reszke then consented to
appear, and he was rewarded with the
personal thanks Of the present queen of
England. Queen Alexandra is a doctor
of music of Dublin university, and the
picture Of her taken in her mortar board
and gown is one Of the best known
among her photographs.
The new queen has other artistic
tastes. She cmbroidcrs well in the diff
cult stitch called Italian" and some of
her work has been displayed at public
exhibitions of needlework. She is an
expert worker in embossed leather, and
specimens of her skill in this kind of
handicraft so emincntly suited to a wo-
man, have been shown ut the Albert hail
exhibitions. 1t was She who introduced
this kind of work into the Industrial
school at Sandrinsham, named in her
honor. Her water color paintings, espe-
cially of sea scenes. are described by
those who have had the privilege of see.
ing them as really artistic.

amount of money. She was kind with
out familiarity to others in the kitchen.
She kept her leisure hours to herself,
working much for an exchange. enjoyed
her neat and comfortable room. had ac
cess to good books and in year earned
the money she required. Her only de-
feet as a perfect servant was that she
was so attractive and delicate in APP
pearance that she was often embarrassed
by too much attention as she came and
went.
Having attained her end. she returned
to her home, freed from debt by her eff
forts, and then made preserves and deli
tacies which gold well. Had she been
afraid of being called cook she could
only have attained by great effort and
exposure about 500 month by incessant
toll and had to support herself out of
that amount, leaving not more than half
her savings free. She saw what she
could do and knew it was right and was
not afraid to live out her own life in her
OWN way.-New York Ledger.
