Girls of the Tenement Eager For Domes
tic Service.
To encourage factory girls to. enter
domestic employment a band of young
society women, graduates Of an uptown
private school, have furnished a suite
of rooms for model training, and em-
ployed an instructor in the art Of
housework. The enterprise is the most
recent addition to the work OF the
Brearley League Industrial Evening
School, which has been conducted for
several years in the Fogg Memorial
School OF the Children's Aid Society,
No. 552 West Fifty-thjrd street, with
the support Of the organization whose
name it bears.
Two rooms, bed room and dining
room, have been fitted for the purpose,
and two evenings a week the fifteen
young girls Of the domestic training
class, who are from fourteen to sixteen
years of age, make a sortie on the place
with pals and brushes, brooms, dust
pans and cloths, and remove every yes
tige Of dirt that has accumulated since
the last lesson. Indeed, scrubbing goes
on with as much zest and vigor as II it
were the semi-annual housecleaning
fray in family apartments. The pretty
white iron bedstead, with its spick and

stripped and aired; the crisp white

dust, the rugs are swept until a locker
on trembles for them, and they are at
last rolled up and put away TO allow
the floor its share of the cleaning. 1t
is, indeed the floor and the paint that
suffer the most, for every girl in the
class loves to scrub, and into that work
puts all her superabundant energy.
When the windows and mirrors are
cleaned, the last lit Of busting done,
the bed remade in the primmest of
styles and the nickel polished the BILE

discussed. BY the time the table is

In ratifying the convention Of The
Hague peace conference relating to
the conduct of war on land and sea
the United States Senate has done
what was fully expected of it. To
lovers Of peace and to those who be-
lieve in strife of a more mental char
acter in the settlement of differences,
these Hague rules Of warfare are most
encouraging. They are a step, and a
distinct and important one, in the d.
rectjon of that hoped-for time when
men will no longer 90 to war, when
intelligence and humanity will govern
when the nations will beat their
swords into plowshares and their
spears into pruning hooks; when the
weak shall say they are strong, and
the people of earth shall know war no
more, reflects the Chicago Evening
Post.

1t is an old saying that it is hard to
give away money so as to be sure Of
not doing mischief. This is true on
the large scale and on the small To
give away after personal investigation
such as a prudent man would use If
the question were Of gaining and not
of spending, is an art by itself, and,
when the giving is on a large scale, a
difficult art. Mr.. Carnegie may be
called an expert in munifcence. And
it may be observed, in him and in
those who approach him in the extent
OF their benefactions, how careful they
are, by exacting other contributions
for those institutions to which they
contribute, to establish the existence
of a real demand for their gifts, and
hence the probability OF the public
usefulness Of them, observes cf0 New

They are one with the gods, for theiI
work is the work Of creation.
Sullenly echo the forges, and higher and

Rise the white flames under brass in the

Swiftly and surely the eager conception
is growing.
Quietly out in the sun the smooth switches

The task of arousing interest in
good roads work is going on apace in
the South. The Illinois Central made
an effective campaign some months
ago, and now the Southern is pushing
ON the work. 1t is costing the rail
roads a great deal of money, but the
expense is enlightened selfshness, for
it will increase their business many
fold to secure good roads for the
bringing of freight to their stations

ago, observed in his political Econ.

effect upon agricultural communities
as an edition to the fertility of the
lands they cultivated, since the re.

of equal value to the larger produc

The lesson Of good roads is a much
needed one in the South. Southern
people, with their open, generous ma.
lures, are prone to waste and extrava.

them more than bad roads A system

too often the case now Besides this

The railroads are doing a great work

through which they send these good
road trains. If they got no other re.
turn than the advertising it gives them
they would be well paid, but when in
addition they take steps that will in.
