Indians as Servants.

A new fad has started among the
Western aristocracy, which may pene-
trate the East shortly. 1t is the use of
Indians as servants. The Indian
schools all over the Southwest have re-
Gently adjourned for the summer, and
the students are being employed very
rapidly by those who keep servants.
The Indian boys make excellent cooks,
while an Indian girl, once trained, is
fine maid of all work, modish hair
dresser, and endowed with an inborn
taste which becomes picturesque when
combined with few civilized touches.
The system of training now bestowed
upon the red children at school teaches
them to become servile to their supe-
rior--the paleface, and the present gen.
Grafton in training have become so ac-
customed TO serving their paleface
teachers that they are more than will
ing to enter the household as servants.
Herein may lie the solution of the SER
want girl question-for time, at least.
Indian youths are strong, agile, and
If brought up by the right kind of
methods are perfectly willing to work.
They are healthy and quick of limb.
This makes an excellent combination
for a servant Statistics Of the Indian
taken recently show that of the $4,000
workers among the various tribes 5000
of them are employed as helpers in
the houses of palefaces.
You never see the Indian servant at
his or her best until you visit the home
Of an Indian agent on one Of the reser-
vations. Here they are brought up to
wait upon the white people, and they
are excellent servants. Philadelphia

ADVANTAGE OF GOOD MANNERS.
The Theory That POliteness is Time
Wasted a Mistaken One.

No rule of conduct is less diplomatic
in the young man Of business than
rudeness, although some beginners
seem to deem the terms business
like" and "ungracious" synonymous;
and not few go out Of their way to
be sour abrupt. point-blank and dis
agreeable to all and sundry. The theory
held by such mistaken persons. appears
to be this; That the man who means
TO wrest success from life must not
shop by the way TO waste time over
politeness. Arguing upon the lines
that the world takes each individual
at his own valuation, the ignorant
nincompoop sets himself up as one who
has scarcely time to breathe, much less
TO smile, so vast are the responsibilities
that his important position entails.
But he is taking absolutely a mis-
taken. line. His opposite in manners
tempers his inexperience with a soft.
ened air of diffidence, meets his con-
temporaries with a smile Of greeting
instead of with a defiant scowl, and
goes out of his way to be thoughtful
and courteous. He knows the value OF
making friends, and realizes TO the
full how bad it is for young mans
future should he earn reputation for
bumptiousness and bad manners. The
business king may please himself as
to the manner he adopts. To some the
reputation of q choleric disposition is
useful, for II Keeps off triflers. He who
desires not to be jOstled must himself
jostle others. Such is the modern shib.
boleth, taught by the storm and stress
of existence to the aspirant for wealth
and wide prosperity.
The old maxim is more subtle, and,
therefore, less thoroughly comprehend
ed. Yet 1T is a straightforward piece
of counsel, teaching merely the beauty
of each man doing unto others as he
would that men should do unto him.
Presumably, every person prefers to be
spoken to with gentle courtesy rather
than with brutal insolence and to do
business not as II he and his customer
were bitter enemies, but as friend and
friend. Despite this, however, there
is more than a tendency TO ally the
haughtiest air to a capacity for COM
mercial qualities.-New York CONNER.

Timid people and pessimists are in
clined to fear that the progress of in
vention is increasing the dnngers of ac-
cident and disease to such an extent
that human life must necessarily be
shortened. This fear appears to be
grcundless. Collected statistics show
that the average duration of human
life is steadily increasing Some inter-
csting and striking facts along this
line are presented in a recent report
of the Chicago Board Of Health. The
average duration Of life mas increased
In q third Of a century from fourteen
years to more than thlrty-one years.
Exclusive Of suicides, deaths from vio-
lence have decreased 63 per cent.

deaths from this source have decreased
