DOMESTIC SERVICE IN CHILE.
rho Maids Arc Much Like other Girls In
Other Lands.

Senoritn Carolina Huidobro. OF
Chile, the other day gave a lecture in
Boston on the women of her country.
Her account of the domestic service
question is interesting
There are two kinds OF cooks" she
said. Advertisements read: Wanted.
cook with bed inside or Wanted. a
cook with bed outside The latter sort
of cook can always be had. Domes-
tics prefer the bed outside. because
cook who does not sleep in the house
has more liberty. She does not begin
quite so early in the morning, her
mistress cannot get quite so much work
out or her. and she can steal little
more; yet her services in the main are
satisfactory. After dinner every even
ing the cook comes for orders as to
the next days meals. Even If unable
TO read. she will remember every item
of an elaborate menu. She is given
certain amount of money to buy the
provisions; for everything is bought in
small quantities. just enough for one
day. The cook Will only cook; she will
not wash the dessert dishes. for that
belongs to the table girls work: the
table girl will not clean the knives.
for that belongs TO the boots The
washing is all done out, and the clothes
are brought back in from three DAYS TO
five weeks.
The laundress has most winning
ways. and often brings her EMPLOYER
flowers and candy; but she asks for
dollar for soap for each washing, and
has to be closely watched. Every ser
want who lives in the house brings her
own bed and furniture. A girl from
the country will arrive with only thin
mattress and one poor coverlet, and
VIII leave at the end OF three or four
years with carload of goods that
she has accumulated. When several
servants are leaving at once. with their
bedding and furniture. it looks as If
the whole family were moving out.
The women of Chile are not of
mixed race. They are pure Spanish.
and of the finest blood of Spain. They
speak Castilian Spanish, and have the
general characteristics of Spanish
women. They are well educated. the
daughters Of the rich in private schools
the others in the public schools. The
Nation offers free education to both
boys and girls, from the primary school
clear through the university; and prom
ising young men and women are after
ward sent abroad to study from three
to five years at Government expense
One OF the most distinguished physi-
clans in Chile to-day is DR. Ernestina
Perez. washerwoman's daughter
who showed so much talent as child
that she was educated in Europe by
the State. In Chile no genius is lost
to the world on account of poverty.
OF late years, with the growth of
educational facilities for women. zeal
for education has sprung up. We have
women doctors. lawyers. authors and
newspaper correspondents There were
last year in the University of Chile
thirty-eight women studying medicine.
four studying dentistry and eight
studying law. OF the eight law stud
ents, five did not mean to practice.
but were taking a law course to en-
able them the better to manage their
large properties

New Court Room.

The new court room in City hall is
very nearly ready for occupancy. This
room will be used both by the superior
and municipal courts and Will furnish
them with far better facilities than
they had before. When the superior
court was first established in kenne-
bee county all the terms We're held in
Augusta. but in 1891 the Legislature
passed an act providing for two terms,
one in June and one in November, to
be held in Watervile. There was no
suitable place for holding these terms,
but the old City hall was converted
into a temporary court room by bring
ing in a judges bench, witness-boX,
rail and other court furnishings. The
municipal court was somewhat better
fixed, as it had a permanent room on
Main street. The new court room is
of good size and will be finely fitted
I'D for the exclusive use of the courts.
The fact that the new lookup and the
court room are i'll the same building
will be greatly appreciated by the
court and officers.

Thomas f. Shea and his excellent
company will be seen at the new City
hall for three days next week and a
dramatic treat is in store for all lovers
of good acting. There was a time
when people of refined tastes and
lovers of the art felt that good acting
at popular prices was impossible to
obtain. Mr.. Thomas Shea. however,
has dispelled that delusion and in all
cities. whether large or SMALL he has
forced himself to the serious attention
of the leading critics. This has been
accomplished by hard work and studi-
Gus effort. Mr.. Shea is not only
student and artist but an exceedingly
clever business man and realized that
in order to call attention to himself
his plays and company. "A moderate
price had to be asked. This line of
procedure was indeed very successful.
as Mr.. Shea has made a fortune for
and at the same time, by close
