HOUSEKEEPING SYNDICATE.
Thirteen Families in New York State
Try Cooperative Boarding to
Solve Servant Problem.

In the enterprising town of Holly,
Orleans county, N. Y, a new movement
has been started, with the object of
solving the servant girl problem, says
the Buffalo Commercial.
Thirteen families, comprising 20 per-
sons of the best social and business
standing, have formed a cooperative
boarding association, all members to
bear an equal share of the expenses.
Gradually the various objections
were overcome, and the members are
not only we'll satisfied with the prog
resS made, but think that in a short
time a noticeable decrease in their liv-
ing expenses will be evident.
Upon joining the association, mem
bers contributed S. to create a fund
with which to equip the kitchen. With
this money two ranges and dishes Of
every description have been purchased;
also other articles necessary to the
culinary department. In the dining
room each family furnishes the table
linen, dishes and other articles for its
own use. p
All expenses for provisions and the
services of the cooks and mattresses
are then borne pro rata by the mem
bers. There will be considerable Curl
osity to know whether the experiment
can be made a permanent success.

In the United States when one speaKs
of corn" maize is always meant. IN
England corn is applied to all &C.
reals, especially wheat. In Scotland
corn means oats. Germans use the
word in the same sense as the English.
Carlyle, being a Scotchman, N writing
of Frederick the Great allows himself
to refer frequently TO Frederick's
meal carts" when, strictly speaking,
he should have said grain carts"
What the bread of Frederick's soldiers
was made of was wheat and rye, not
Corn in the restricted Scotch sense
In Scotland a corn field" is only g.
field of oats. Jameson remarks that
the term corn" in northern Europe is
used to denote that species of the grain
most in use in any particular region.
Hence in Sweden and Iceland the term
denotes barley.

FOOTBALL NOTES.

The Royal Boosters football team
did not fly to Tottenville, Saturday
afternoon, as they had expected to.
The weather was not of the best, sc
they received word from across the
river that the game was off. They
will play the team next SATURDAY
afternoon.
The Riverside football team did MOI
play on Saturday afternoon, but yes
terday they took a trip to South Am
boy, where they were defeated by the
South Amboy Field Club, by a score
of 10 to 5. The local boys did no
have all of their own players will
them and this accounts partly for th'
defeat.
Because of the poor weather Satur
day afternoon the game between tn,
Forum and the T%riangles, of New
Brunswick, which was to have takeI
place on the Smith street grounds
was declared off.

~FAsHoDANs HARD TO RULE.
People of the white Nile Who Arc
Refractory and Give the Eng
Iish Much Trouble.

Great Britain, in securing sovereignty
over FashOda. situated On the White
NiIe, annexed to the empire a people
that promise to give the nation con-
siderable trouble. 1t was on Sunday,
September 4, lfjS, that Lord Kitch-
sner entered Khar.oum. On Septcm-
Der 10, he reached FasLoGa, only 10 fzd
Capt. Marchard and 100 S~euegalese sol
1iers intrenched there beneath the
French flag. Marchand had reached
the place on July 10. after e~ncourterirg
enormous difficulties. The crisis was
acute, but q diplomatic be2rirg saved the
day, and on December II MarchaEd ard
his men returned TO France by the Sc
LAT, Abyssiria and Jibuti. France, of
course, feels a little sore on the whole
inclGent-neeGlessly w think. We
Therefore present, with due allowance for
bias, a French Wow Of the situation at
Fashoda at this moment.
1t is supplied by an e-plorcr. Roger
Lazarche DAzay. Struck by the impcr-
tarce attached to the Place and by the
general ignorance as to its character, he
organized On expedition % Fashoda. His
account is rot calculated to arouse en-
thusiasm. The surrounding country is
but 2 presidential marsh, enjoying the
worst reputation; O Goes kethink that
the English would lorg retain so iIsalu-
brious a position were ii not for the his
toric souvenir attaching to it. The gar
rigol has been reduced TO a minimum.
and consists Of two officers and a few
native soldiers. They occupy a brild-
ing erected by C~ommanGant Marchard,
and still known by mis- rame. The sur
rounding country ADMITS # little Gevel-
oDment. although some effort in that d.
rection is being made.
Hunting fer big same is. most rigor-
ously forbidden, except under the nest
e~-acting conditions. and the commerce
in ivory is practically q government mo-
ropoly. NJ. D'Azay was able to photo
graph the arrival of an ivory convoy,
from which the magnificent tusls. Ia
beled FashoGa, were Borne by natives
in chains, but the officers carefully x
planned that the ivory was ONLY sold by
its owners for current cash, and that
there was no compulsion IN the matter.
The river population consists Of Gill
louks on the LIFT bank and Denkas on
the right. They are miserable speci-
mems of humanity. and Of an intelligence
little raised above the brute creation
They are unsoci2ble and d~if7cultto man
age. Doth races ere of large stature,
with an average cf over six feet in height,
and their emaciated aspect makes them
appear even taller.

NEW WAY TO CUT TREES.
Electrically Hented Platinum Wire
Does Work of Saw in Much
Less Time.

1t is reported in tie German press
hat successful experiments have been.
made in various forests of France in,
cutting trees by means of electricity.
A platinum wire is heated to a white
heat by an electric current and used
like a saw. In this name the tree,
IS felled much easier and quicker than
in the old way; no sawdust is pro
duced, and the slight carbonizatiOn
caused by the hot wire acts as a pre-
~servative of the wood. The new meth
ID is said to require only One-eighth
Of the time consumed by the old saw
ing process.
Some day, says the New York Trib-
une, this system will doubtless find a
trial in the United States. Of course,
it is necessary to provide a source of
electricity, and unless the latter is
cheap the operation just described
would not be economical. However,
nearly all districts in which timber is
cut are provided with streams, and
these can often be utilized for power.
Only a small head would be necessary
for this purpose. America has been
so enterprising in the application of
electricity to industry that it is won
derfui that another country should
have had a chance to anticipate it in
any manner. The consular report, In
which the news is conveyed, supplies
no details, however, and it Is impos
sible to say how extensively the plan
has hepn adoDtad

Alderman J. F. Smith of indianapolis,

rapidly worse until his physician said he
had all the symptoms of hasty consump,

several proprietary preparations failed to

~SPECTACLEs III SLEEP.
4 Combination That Helps Greatly
to Improve thc Appearance
OF a Man.

IF had my life 10 live over again."
said the successful man, Il would bcar
continually in mind TWO things. /
would always get plenty Of sleep. and |
would wear the finest eyeglasses I could
buy"
why the Sleep" asked the man to
whom the successful man was talking,
relates TIE Chicago Tribune, and par
ticularly why the eyl glasses?"
"As most Of your establishment
comes from the glasses" said the sue
cessful man, patiently, Il will tell you
| about them first.
81 have found that q pair of ten-dol-
lar eyeglasses bear better dividends
that a lot of intense but misplaced ener-
gy, much ingenuity, and any amount of
craftiness.
THE man who wears eyeglasses al
ways inspires a certain amount of re-
| spect. 1t is easy for him TO get an audi
ence, and it is easier for him to refuse a
hearing to people who would eat up his
| time.
HE looks scholarly. learned-any-
thing you Willard everybody who
looks at him Eno.s he is in earnest, and
that is half the battle"
And the other half"
"Is sleep" SAID the successful man,
promptly. "The man that called sleep
'balmy natures sweet restorer' told only
half the story. Plenty of sleep and a
clear head in the morning is a priceless
thing.
Business men always can tell when q
colleague or an opponent has slept :oc
little, and their knowledge gives them
an advantage over him. There is more
in this unconscious suggestion business
than most people think, and the mar
who has slept well always has vitality
