/ The Housewives Work.

Those who recall the old Dutch days
Of New York will tell you that it was
the custom for the housewife to.not only
do sherso own table mending, but the wash
ing of her own little linen and lace works
of art. -,
On Saturday morning servant would
Esudsy with white soap and another
pan Of clear water, with q third pan OF
starchy water. sS.@
Seated at her dining table with her
rings laid aside and sleeves pushed to
the elbow, the thrifty dame would
squeez out her table laces and hand them
from pan to pan. ~
Finally she passed them oyer to a
maid to be carefully pulled in shape and
dried in the sun. No other hands could
do the work as we'll or as lovingly.
In certain parts, Of England, and in
many parts of Scotland, it is the Gus
tom for the home mother to wash the
delicate tea cups and saucers and, after
each meal, while the others are dallying
with the coffee or cracking the final
nuts, there is a splashing Of hot suds
and a rinsing of dishes, while a maid
bears the pans Of water in and out and
finally takes away the shining cups upon
tray. .~
To take care of ones own table is
no disgrace, be it cups or linen; and in
these days of delicacy Of appointment
it becomes actually necessary for wom-
an to exercise personal supervision, or
the drain upon the family purse will ex-
coed her possibilities. ~ FIJI i

London's Fire Traps.

We are sure that il practical inquiry
were generally made in the buildings Of
London for protection against fire an ap-
palling conclusion would be reached.
Several lives have been lost recently in
London fires because there was no way
of escape. London is undoubtedly
swarming on all sides with death-traps
only ready to claim their victims when a
fire has broken out. Everyone is aware
Of the difficulties which have to be faced
when the question Of the efficient protec-
ton Of life skut up in buildings in con-
gested area is approached. In probably
the majority of buildings in London it is
impossible even to escape to the roof
and thence to gain a safe refuge on the
adjoining premises. We know at least
Of one instance, that Of a well-known
bank premises, in which the boundaries
Of the property are marked on the roof
by ugly spiked fences. While it is true
that even this way Of escape is not easy,
it. is certain that in - q greater plumber Of

old male thrush will sing the sweet song
in loud, clear, futelike notes once. and
then stop to listen while the young birds
try to initiate the song. Some will utter
one note, others two Some will utter
a coarse note, others a sharp note./ After
while they seem to forget their lesson
and drop out one BY one. When all are
silent the old thrush turnss5np again. and
the young sthrushes repeat their efforts,
birds do not acquire, the full song the
first year; so the lessons are repeated the

Seven.

Numerous are the queer beliefs con-
corning the number seven. From the
very earliest ages the seven great plan
cts were known and ruled this world,
and the jewellers in it, and their number
entered into every conceivable matter
that concerned man. There are seven
days in the week, ''seven holes in the
head, for the master stars are seven"
seven ages both for man and the world
in which he lives: There are seven ma
terial heavens. There are seven colors
in the spectrum, and seven notes in the
diatonic octave, and the ''leading'' note
of the scale IS the seventh. Be it noted
that the seventh son is not always gifted
with benefcent powers. In Portugal he
is believed to be subject to the powers of
darkness, and to be compelled every Sat-
urday evening to assume the likeness of
an asst. James Gazette. .,. ,.. 49,.

The Rich Mans Wife,:

The man of wealth marries woman
who is beautiful and gracious, one who
will bear his name proudly Her home
is handsomely appointed. She fits into
her environment as a statue in its niche.
At her command are servants, horses and
carriages-or automobiles, III this me-
chanical generation: She is privileged
to trade upon credit and dress for her
position in life. But toe, a. often her
pocketbook contains less than the woman
in moderate circumstances whose hus-
band has salary and gives his wife a
stated sum to live upon. The rich wife,
if asked by members of her club for a
donation, must consult her husband first.
She has no ready money, and frequently
is obliged to ask him for paltry amounts.
She is Inundated and becomes embit-
tered; her dignity is>lowered. Sometimes
she employs deceit with. which, to obtain
resources from him. And her thought 81
her husbands p2rsimony soon kills all
her tenderness.-Susan B. Anthony in

mese headcovering, it must be under
stood, is silk kerchief, often of consid-
cradle value. called ''gaungbaung."
Some young dare-devils attach prickly
bushes to long bamboo poles, and when
the mail train passes they yell out, which
causes the native passengers to stick
The train is then raked from end to end
by means of the scrubby poles, with the
result that the Burman male passengers
are deprived Of their gaungbaungs.

Germ-Carrying Pigeons.

J. An epidemic Of scarlet fever, starting
in Cincinnati, has spread in the last few
weeks through a number Of towns in
Ohio, and the health authorities, after
taking extraordinary precautions to con-
fine the disease within the limit OF its
first ravages, were puzzled to understand
the means by which it was carried else
where. They made an Investigation and
have now come to the conclusion that
much Of the contagion was spread 81
tame pigeons and doves, which carried
the germs from place to place. The evi-
.tience on which this theory is based 81
that scarlet fever spread under strict
