DOMESTIC SCIENCE SCHOOLS.

DOMESTIC SCIENCE is becoming
~ recognized as a necessary branch
of education for girls, and courses Of
study are being established in num-
Der OF the important institutions OF
the country. In ST. Paul the Servant
Girls union is planning a school for
this most important instruction, and
the movement is hailed by the news
papers of that city as a step toward
the solution Of the so-called servant
girl problem.
Tt has long been a question whether
pestilence or war could be held respoI-
sible for as much mortality as bad
cooking. a soda biscuit badly mixed
= improperly cooked. is as deadly as
a Mauser bullet, though not as instan-
taneOus in effect, and. therefore, less
merciful. Skillets and grease in the
hands Of ignorance furnish more bust
ness for the undertaken than smallpox,
and the skillet is much more insidiOus
because it is not recognized as a dead
~ weapon. The movement, therefore,
for the education of the teakettle en-
HAltEtA anu ShlAtGt HlAldlOA " III ~
hailed with joy by suffering mankind.
The average girl of today grows up
without training in any Of the COM,
monest household duties. She doesn't
know how to make a bed, or sweep a
room, or even to wash dishes proper
~ IF she Eas learned how to mix a
salad dressing or decorate a table, her
education in domestic work is regarded
as complete; and when she marries and
has a house of her own. she marvels
that her maid is almost as ignorant
as herself.
4 mere mans opinion is, of course,
irrelevant, but it is a safe guess that
most of the troubles over domestic
service are due to the incompetence of
housewives. Not knowing how to man
age a household, they cannot hope to
instruct or direct a cook or housemaid.
They impose on their servants, have
no system in household affairs. and
upset even competent help by their in
ability to see what is required and
how it can be done.
Domestic science schools will go far
toward remedying this difficulty, and
the instruction ought to begin with the
naistresses.

TRUSTS SHOW THEIR FAnes.

ID ARELY HAS THE TRUST drag
N on showed its fangs so openly or
growled so ominously as. over the suit
brought in the United States courts by
Attorney General Knox to test the le-
gality of the Northern Pacihc-Great
Northern railroad merger. While Mr..
Knoxs reputation is such that trusts
under ordinary circumstances might
feel safe, the magnates seem to feel
that he may show the ostentatious
zeal of the new convert" now that he
is in a position where it becomes his
sworn duty to fight the trusts, SO far as
the law makes it possible.
Banker Henry Clews of New York.
in a recent letter, gives utterance 20
the fears of the capitalists and at the
same time voices a threat. He says,
referring to the merger prosecution:
1.-The surprising step threat
ems to knock out the different bankers
combinations which had in view the
formation of combines for The purpose
Of controlling in perpetuity a large
number of competing roads. Some 9TH
er means will now have TO be quickly
devised to attain the object sought,
which will be very difficult To achieve
without meeting with similar opposi-
ton and governmental attack. AS
other important mergers than the
Northern Pacific and Great Northern
We're under way, and would undoubted-
ly have been carried through in event
of a favorable decision, the various
bankers plans for combination will
meet with much delay if not final de-
feat. The case will be stubbornly con-
tested in the courts; and, if this meth
cd of controlling competition or giving
community of interest some tangible
form through security holding compa-
MES is not successful other means will
unquestionably be attempted.
In that last sentence Mr.. Clews prac-
tically says: IF you don't let us &c
ahead lawfully to form our competi-
tion-killing, life-crushing trusts, well
/ find some other way to do it. so you
might just as well leave US alone" The
success of the Steel trust seems to have
driven the New York bankers mad on
the subject of combinations. They
would combine all the railroads into
one great corporation. they would
| gather the makers of every article IN
der tie sun into one company and
compel the public TO pay dividends or
/ the ocean of water such alliances nee
! essariiy contain.
Wen do it lawfully If ave can, I'M
lawfully if we must" theySsay. What
will the attorney general, what viii the
public Go about it?

JUDGING WHISKY.
How Man Was Able to Name Three
Brands When Blindfolded.
(New Orleans Times-Democrat1

New Orleans imes-Democrat.)
Funny, isn't it, said an expert
faster of tea. who is employed in one
of New YOrk's largest importing
houses, that a whisky, drinker like our
friend here could not. to save his life.
tell the grade and brand of liquor he
takes after he has had two drinks2"
'Oh, yes. l can replied the gentle
man addressed. and what is more. I
can tell the brands of more than two
kinds of whisky, and can do the same
with absolute certainty"
Bet you can't" said the tea man.
Bet I can said the liquor expert.
And finally they pushed up a substan-
tial wager on the outcome OF the dis
pute, which was conditioned about like
this:
The liquor expert was TO distinguish
between three kinds of liquor and name
the brand of each. He was to drink
the liquor blindfolded, and was to have
the privilege of selecting the three
kinds Of whisky TO be used in the test.

Prince and the Meddling Officer

Prince Henry Of Prussia, according to
story told by d diplomat who was once
attached to the British embassy in Ber-
lin, was one day chatting with an Eng
fish friend in a cafe ia Bonn. when he
became an object of suspicion TO one Of
those meddling minor officials who flour
ism in such numbers in Germany. The
prince Is too discreet a man to discuss
affairs of state in public place, but on
this occasion some subject arose which
while not of general interest. related to
the imperial family The conversation
was in English, and the spying official
was acquainted with that language At
length Prince Henry remarked:
why. my dear fellow, don't YOU see
that the emperor would be even cTazier
than some people seem to believe he is If
he did anything like that?
The official leaned toward his royal
highness and said:
Sir, you are aware that there is a lese
majestic law in this country? Let ne
hear another remark of that kind and l
make a complaint against you.
The Englishman took in the situation,
and moment afterward remarked:
As / was saying to your royal nigh
ness before we We're interrupted -
The meddler gasped. rose hastily. inter
rogated the manager Of the cafe and
withdrew.

cope with even such renarhapie
scoundrel as he conceived this man 10
be. and who would speedily put MN on
his back in the first round.
And yet the wretched result OF his
arrangement with the great baron
Peterhoff aroused serious doubts IN ms
mind. II the fascinating presence OF
woman could so upset sasacious
master OF finesse and diplomacy, VINO
could be trusted?
There was apparently time
Brand would hardly get his columns

Charlie could he governed by cir
cumstances and the tread OF events.
Besides. there was Artemus. whose
wits We're of the brightest, ana VINO
might be depended on. TO accomplish
more than n little. looking toward tho
exposure OF the great fraud.
These soothing reflections came In
some degree through the influence OF
the magic weed. for TO Its devoted
votarles tobacco seems to be an in.
cense which creates optlmists where
only pess!mism had previously
relgned.
And of course our Charlie contem'
plated with more or less complacency
the high degree of happiness that
would be his portion when the blessed
time arrived for him to claim airline
Brand as his own darling wife. with
no one. not even haunting memory
OF the buried past, 10 say him nay.
He had figured II all out. and de
cided that he would make full and free
confession regarding his one forlorn
experience in CupId's realms.
No doubt Charlie took considerable
pleasure in specializing upon the var
ious ways In which he might bring
these important matters to focus.
but never once did he dream OF tie
wonderful and fearful event by means
OF which the desired end would be
swiftly attained.
Again and again he looked ttward

mus remained only conspicuous by his

Could anything have happened:
would the bold and reckless Capt.
Brand begin operations by Topping on

1t made him dcucodiy uncomfortable
to even consider such n calamity.
Surely some tremendous catastrophe
was breeding over himself and his for
tunes. or could II be he was paFtaklag

GATHERED 100000 STAMPS.
Collection Of Three Women in New
York Auction After Their Death.

An enormous pile of cancelled post
age stamps. in which were million
and half different pieces. attracted
much attention at the auction sale of
rare stamps held in New York last
week.
The stamp collectors who bid
against one another for rare specimens
were much interested in the big pile
of "sc. U. S. Cancelled. recent issues"
It was tho first time that as many as
100000 stamps have been assembled
together for display in New York.
The big pile weighed $50 pounds and
occupied fifteen cubic feet of space.
Mr. Doane. who is one OF the largest
dealers in New York. said the stamps
were accumulated by three sisters in
a Connecticut town. After ali three
had died and the estate was settled up
the stamps were found. most of them
done up in neat packages of 1000.
For years there has been a tradition
in some parts of the country that IL
anyone would accumulate 100000
postage stamps the government or
some mysterious institution stood
ready to pay 1000 for them.

The baron stormed and rayed more

ex-sailor, whom he looked upon as a
bungler.
Charlie begged the baron to trouble
himself no longer about Capt. Brand.
since Airline Swas doubtless by this
time safe on board the steamer.
VERY good" was the baron's reply,
with n sigh of relief. for he seemed to
be oy"rburdencd of late with official
cares. or something that pressed upon
his mind: but II you hope to get
aboard before tho steamer leaves you
must hurry. for there is just scant
aalf hour.
Charlie called for n cab and said
sood.by to his friend. the baron. He
would always have a lingering sus-
