WHY GIRLS PREFER THE SHOP
They Have Greater Freedom Than in
Domestic Employment.

The Labor Bureau of the state of
Wisconsin has been investigating the
subject of feminine labor and collect
ing reasons why girls prefer work in
factories and stores to household SER
vice. Inquiries were sent to 769 per-
sons. Among the answers were these:
If ladies would only give girls bet
ter rooms, kinder treatment and
warmer beds and let them live inde-
pendently more girls would do house
work.
l love housework. but. like host
of other girls, refuse to do it under
present conditions.
The reason l won't do housework
is because will not be treated like
half slave and always a nobody.
None of the girls know would do
housework because a girl who does
it is always looked upon as kitchen
drudge, always on duty and seldom
treated justly.
l am treated better in the factory
in every way and, besides. am no
longer obliged to entertain in the
kitchen or receive my friends at the
back door, since can live at home
with my own people.

Vibration Cure in London.

London society's latest craze is the
vibration cure, as practiced by a
Swedish specialist. The vibrationist
claims to be able to cure anything and
everything by his treatments, a claim
which is supported by Adelina Patti
among others. Nerve troubles, pneu-
monia, appendicitis, all are vibrated
out of the system in miraculous fash
ion. Palming. faith healing and crys-
tai gazing have given way for the mo-
ment to the vibrationists. whose par
lors are crowded with fashionable and

HE LOVED ANIMALS
LANDseeR's CHARACTERISTICS.
Great English Painter Was on Init.
mate Terms With the Animals
He Painted.


Conrad Cooke, the son of a distin
guished English painter. says he useo
to hold the paper while Sir Edwin
Landseer drew one animal with his
right hand and different animal with
his left. writes J. A. Manson in ''Sir
Edwin Landseer, r. A." This species
OF dexterity comes from practice, no
doubt, and is akin to the adroit ma
nipulation of the accomplished pian-
ist, but Is nevertheless extraordinary,
and several cases are recorded in
which Sir Edwin fairly astounded the
onlookers by such displays of manual
skill. Two instances of well-applied
facility are related by Vernon Heath.
Once while staying at Ardington
house, Robert Vernon's place near
Vantage, Landseer consented to go to
church. At luncheon he was asked who
had preached. Really, don't know,
but 1t was someone like this" and he
sketched the priest in a few adroit
strokes. why. that's Mr. Blank"
said Vernon Heath. His living is
nine miles OF and don't think he has
ever preached here before. / know
him only from seeing him at a meet of
the old Berkshires. But that's the
man, sure enough" At Ardington a
billiard table stood in the hall and one
day during game Landseer went
across to the blackboard which screened
the crate and drew upon it in chalk
life-sized head Of a royal stag.
When MIR. Vernon saw it he was SO
enchanted that he had sheet OF
plate glass placed over the board
which he forbade being taken to the
hall any more.
An intimate friend of his gave a
most instructive account of Landseers
ways with animals. "He had strong
feeling" she wrote, against the way
some dogs are tied up: only allowed
their freedom now and then. He used
to say man would fare better tied
up than a dog because the former can
take his coat off, but a dog lives in his
forever. He declared a tied-up dog
without daily exercise goes mad or
dies In three years. His wonderful
power over dogs is well known. An
illustrious lady (whom we shall ven
ture upon Identifying as Queen Vic
toria) asked him how it was that he
gained this knowledge. BY peeping
into their hearts, a'am.' was his an
swer. l remember once being wonder
fully struck with the mesmeric attrac-
tions he possessed with them. A large
party of his friends were with him at
his house in st. Johns Wood; his SER
want opened the door, three or four
dogs rushed in, one a fierce-looking
.mastiff. The ladies recoiled, but there
was no fear; the creature bounded up
to Landseer, treated him like an old
friend, with most expansive demon
strations of delight Someone remark
ing how fond the dog seemed of him,
he said: Il never saw it before in my
life."
