Perhaps there is no greater source of
friction in household with servants
than the habit of allowing the children
Of the family to be impertinent and
tyrannical This should never be per.
mitted. Nothing is more i'll bred and
more disastrous to both. Servants must
do great deal of extra work where
there are children in the house. 1t is
impossible to arrange matters so that
this will not be true, and the least that
can be done is to have the children
courteous in manner and speech. If
children see their parents polite, 1t will
be second nature for them to be polite
also, and their rare lapses will be for
given quickly. Every one agrees that
servants should not be permitted to
punish children or be unkind to them.
but children should not be permitted
to torment a servant. and parents who
excuse it are responsible for their own
discomfort. Neither should children be
allowed to bring disorder into kitchen
or to dirty it wilfully.-Agnes Bailey
Ormsbee in Woman's Home Compan-
ion.

Art of Piano Draining.

An excellent way for screening IL"
unsightliness of the back of an upriih
piano when turned away from the wal
as all pianos of that design should b.
to improve the tone and prevent a sing
er facing the wall, is one in which y
three paneled screen is hung on rod
attached to the back of the piano at
the top.
The screen is made Of three panels o.
black satin embroidered in gold thread
after the style of Japanese screens, the
panels being laced together with gold
cord drawn through small brass rims
sewed at intervals of two inches on the
edge of the satin, ending in gold tasst Is
at the bottom. The whole thing is then
edged with Il heavy black silk or gold
cord. The effect is uncommon and adds
much to the furnishing of drawing
room or music room, especially where
the room admits of the piano being
placed Mt one end, with the keyboard
facing the wall.

Spanish-American Women.

AS wife and mother the Spanish
American woman is admirable. 1t is
her duty to look carefully after the
house and to practice thrift and econ
omy. She receives from her husband
at the beginning of each month the
funds necessary to the proper main
tenance of the home and has full
charge of the household stores. which
are given out to the servants each
morning. A woman who does not full
fill these housekeeping duties does not
enjoy the respect of the community
The Spanish American woman is loyal
and faithful. and when her husband
has met with reverses it is not IN
common for lady of this class to con
tribute to the support of the fan.il
by doing needlework, teaching musir
or opening a small store.
The women of the middle class arr
the backbone of the country. The"
are Industrious and form the retail
trading class of the republics.

Billy Reynolds gave a low whistle

The following day was overcast, and
at closing time great sheets of rain
were rafting down. The paying teller
had just slipped into his overcoat when
he found half dozen very solemn
faced young men before him.

spokesman of the group, ito state a
few facts as given out by yourself, Mr..
Methus-er-James, and to ask you to
reconcile them if you will" Paine
cleared his throat, and Methuselah,
looking very much like an animal at
bay, mumbled, go on"

while away recently you had serious
attack of appendicitis, according to
your statement to Mr.. Harvey, and at
the same time you had the misfortune
(this is what you told Billy Reynolds
to be laid up with rheumatic fever.
Moreover, If we are to take into con-
sideration statements made to Mr..
Frost and myself respectively, you suf-
fered the pangs of heart failure and
were threatened with pneumonia Of
the tight lung. We want to congratu-
late you on constitution which could
bring you safely through these compli-

flesh was heir to, you enjoyed i'm

Clark, and, although you spent the en-
tire two weeks there (this next is from
Mr.. Gray, 1t did not deter you from
passing q most delightful fortnight at
Old Orchard. Pardon us if we question
how you managed"
At first Mr.. Methuselah's face was q
study Of wrath. Then his eyes roved
about wildly, as if he were contemplate

leaned against the wall, white and
shaken.
"I-I"- he began. "It's none of your

He turned on his heel and angrily
snatched the cover from his umbrella.
As he did so stream Of small white
kernels fell to the floor.
"Rice, by Jove" some one gurgled.
On one side Mr.. Methuselah and on the
other the group Of half dozen stood
staring stupidity at the white grains.
Ed Frost was the first to rise to the
situation. He stepped forward, slipping
his arm through Mr.. Methuselah's, and
as he led him away he told the boys

The Irish standard., 1902-01-18

Was Sir Francis Drake missionary
or buccaneer? The Episcopalians
who recently held q convention in
San Francisco claim him as a mission
airy, because his chaplain, "Francis
Fletcher, priest Of the Church Of Eng
land" held "the first Christian serv-
ice in the English tongue on our
coast" on June "a, A. D., 1879. The
late James Anthony Froude, the lying
English historian, and priest of the
Church of England" relates brakes
voyage in the Pelican from Peru
with his ship filled with gold and sill
yer ingots which he had seized at the
docks. To avoid the Spanish galleons
on the Atlantic, Drake crossed the
Pacific and reached England by the
Cape of Good Hope. He was hailed
by the English as a circumnavigator
Of the globe and was knighted on
board the Pelican by Queen Elizabeth
for his successful piracy. 1t was left
to the American branch Of the Estab-
lished Church Of England to give him
that title. He was simply on pratt
cal expedition when he landed on the
California coast.

vast transport service at her COM
mand, England could land million
Of armed savages on Irish soil within
a few weeks after we had unfurled a
Green Flag and fired on the Union
Jack. They would have rifles, am
munition, and commissariat, and
their mission would be to wipe out
the Irish race. Glasgow and London,
Liverpool, Manchester, and Birming-
ham would compete with one another
in furnishing volunteers for such a
mission. A grand resistance might
be made. But the Powers would look
on-as they are looking on while
Gods laws are being outraged in
South Africa-and we cannot conceal
from ourselves the fact that the in
evitable end would be our extinction
as a people.
We do not mean to be extinguished.
We mean to hold to this land Of ours
to win back what of it has been
filched from us-tO keep the Ma
tional spirit alive-and to prepare
ourselves, by unity, by organization,
by binding the people together in a
solid phalanx, for the day, which may
come sooner or later, when events
will place us in a position to demand
and secure a measure of Independ-
ence as complete as any ever achieved
by an enslaved Nation.
