HOW TO KEEP A SERVANT.

Short but valuable contributions to
the symposium on the servant prob
lem have been made by Herr August
ohlenberger and Fraulein Hoffman,,
OF Chicago. Herr Ohlenberger has kept
one servant thirty-one years. and Frau
lem hoffman, is the maid who has re-
manned in the service of his family
during that period of time. Speaking
from experience, they have consented
to tell the world how they have solved
the servant problem.
A famous old rule for cooking a hare
enjoins: First, catch your hare" So
1t must be with the servant. There
must be something to work on. The
servant must be possessed of some
intelligence, or any and all efforts will
be fruitless. The same may be said.
by the way, with respect to the en-
ployer. Stupidity is by no means cor
nered by those who take servants
places. Often as much of 1t is found
above stairs as below; and two sets
OF stupidity never made a smooth
running household
Assuming that the proper material
has been found, on both sides, now for
the rules, Herr Ohlenberger's first.
They are three in number, as follows:
Don't expect from a servant more
than you could do yourself. Remem-
BIER that your servant is a human be-
ing, not a beast of burden. Follow
the golden rule" These, it must be
admitted, are good rules, but they are
no better than those of Fraulein Holt
mann, to wit: DO faithfully all Of
the work you are expected to do
and little more. Try to anticipate
the wants of your employer. Don't
grumble."
There is nothing" difficult about the
rules quoted. They are so simple and
sensible that they do not even need
to be read twice to be remembered.
They are a condensation of common
sense and fair dealing.
The servant problem is by no means
a one-sided affair. Employers are quite
as often to blame as those who are
employed for unsatisfactory service
and the failure of a servant to remain.
Continued and peevish faultfinding and
nagging will sour the most even-tem-
pered servant girl and finally drive
her from the place, just as careless
ness and slovenly methods on the part
of the girl will wear out the patience
of the employer. There must be con-
sideration and desire to please on
both sides.

PERSONAL.

1t is said that during their recent
visit to Ireland King Edward and
Queen Alexandra carried with them
trunks and other impedimenta weigh
ing in all some 200 tons. Among the
lot were two large chests of gold plate.
Isaac Webb of Russiaville, Ind,
boasts that for seventy-three consecu-
tive years he has voted the straight
Republican ticket. The fact that the
Republican party has been in existence
less than fifty years does not feaze
him when he makes the statement.
One of the wealthiest baronets in
England is Sir .Tatton Sykes, whose
rent roll from his Yorkshire estates
alone does not fall far short of $500, 200
a year. He is about as eccentric as
he is rich, seldom wearing fewer than
four coats, while in winter he has
been known to don a dozen.
Charles Belmont Davis, who is be-
ginning to make his way in the mag
azines, is the fourth of his family to
achieve literary reputation. His faith
er is L. Clarke Davis, the Philadel-
phia editor and fisherman friend of
Grover Cleveland his mother, the nov
elist, Rebecca Harding Davis, and his
brother, Richard Harding Davis.
Set warfare is being made in Lon

that presentations at court have been

Now that we are all talking about
the Pope and Rome, the following in
cident comes into my mind, says the
Manchester Guardian. The Duchess
of Bedford who died in 1859, was rath-
er weak-minded, and unhappily her
education did little to disguise the de-
fects which nature had imposed upon
her. Her great dread was to have
visitor at Woburn Abbey who would
ask her hard questions about the foun-
dation and history of the abbey. So
if she had a savant in the party she
always asked a man of higher rank
to meet him, so that she might not
be taken in to dinner by the saVant.
Once, as bad luck would have it, she
got Lord Stanhope, the historian, who,
though he had to take her in to din
ner, was none the less a savant. AS
soon as he sat down to dinner he be-
gan the dreaded inquiries about the
date of the abbey. The poor Duchess,
much fiustered, said:
81 have a very poor head for these
historical things; but I will tell you
all l know. The founder was Cru
sader, who, finding himself in great
danger in battle, vowed that if he got
home to Europe safe he would do any
thing the Pope told him. He got hack
safe and went to Rome, and the Pope
told him to build a Cistercian Abbey
and he built Woburn Abbey. That's
all 1 know"
Lord Stanhope said: "That is ex-
actly what 1 wanted. for if you can
tell me which Pope it was I can APP
proximately fix the date"
"Oh!" said the Duchess, 81 always
understood it was the Pope of Rome"

THE CORONATION OF THE POPE.

| THE CORONATION OF THE POfE'
The coronation of Pope Plus X to-
| day promises to be a ceremony Of ex-
! ceptional splendor. 1t will be an event
in which all Christendom will feel a
profound interest, for there is no
greater position than that of the pom
tifical throne and the new Pope is
| especially acceptable to Catholics and
| is regarded with favor by Protestants.
| The comments on his election that
! have appeared In the newspapers and
periodicals have left the impression
| that the conclave could not have acted
more wisely than it did. 1t is known
that he is a good man and it is be-
lieved that he will make a good Pope.
Learned and pious, courteous and gen.
tie. and possessing ability of a high
order, there is confidence everywhere
that he viii fully meet the require
ments of hts high and responsible po-
sition.
Coming from the plain people he has
a deep sympathy for the masses. This
is shown in a marked manner by his
humble members of the faith shall be
admitted to the coronation ceremony.
1t was like him to think of those who
would otherwise be overlooked in dis
Mbuting favors upon so important an
occasion.
Great questions await his entrance
upon the duties of his office. These
questions concern almost every nation,
either directly or indirectly. While
be has no physical means of enforcing
his policies, he has influence that is
far reaching and powerful-inhuence
that Is felt and respected wherever di-
rected. Therefore rulers, statesmen
and diplomats are anxious to know
what his policies in many important
pending matters will be. There is
speculation respecting his attitude to-
wards the Italian monarchy, whether
he will continue the conciliatory
course of his predecessor towards
France in the matter of the educa-
tional religious orders recently ex-
PEELED, as to the course he would take
if action were taken against similar
institutions in Spain. And then there
are questions as to the relations be-
tween the Church and the civil power
in Germany. Our government is in
tersted in knowing whether he will
be in sympathy with it in solving the
friar problem in the Philippines and
then there are sociological questions,
some of them Of the greatest impor-
lance, which will be brought to his
attention. and which he will be expect
ed to assist in settling. 1t is believed
he has deep sympathy with the work.
ing classes, but at the same time a
just appreciation of the rights of cap
itaL Seeing how great and burden
some the responsibilities and duties of
the pontiflcate are it is not to be
wondered at that he hesitated to ac-
cept the great office. He did not seek
it. 1t sought him, and the world
seems to have no doubt that he will
fill it successfully and acceptably.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Louisville Courier Journal
ports that man who had been called
a 'sardine' by a neighbor whipped the
latter, burned his house and ran off
with his wife. Perhaps this man would
not have become so indignant if he
had been aware that a sardine is an
article which stands so well in the
estimation of the United States of
America that they have placed on their
statue books a law levying a high
duty in order that our own citizens
may make sardines out of young her
ring"
The New Orleans Picayune (Dem.)
says: The Picayune is shocked and
astonished at the behavior of Mr.. Bry-
an as reported, and regrets that it is
thereby compelled to withdraw much
of the admiration it had for his elo-
quence as an orator, and of the re-
spect il had accorded to one who had
twice led the Democratic party to
honorable defeat. 1t is without doubt
his ambition to secure its defeat a
third time, and it appears to be en-
tirely in the range of possibility if he
is to lead the next Democratic cam
paign."
The Albany IN. " Argus (Dem.)
says: Roosevelt and Durbin? Well
why not? Roosevelt, as Governor, said
that he would shield the accused Ken
lucky murderer, Taylor. If Taylor took
refuge under his jurisdiction; Durbin
as Governor, has done it. Words are
of no value unless they are backed by
deeds, as the President has remarked"
The New Orleans Item (Dem) says:
The new Pope, unlike his predeces-
sor, does not belong to the aristocrat-
ic class. He is one of eight children,
two sons and six daughters. One Of
his sisters is a dressmaker. another is
married to a sacristan and peddler, a
third married TO a wine shope keeper,
and the others are unmarried"

route would throw every objection in
the way of its ratification, and they
would be assisted by the opponents of
an isthmian canal on any route. 1t
will be recalled that it took a long
time and required a hard fight to over
come the opposition to the treaty that
was finally ratified, and which at last
accounts, was pending in the Colon
bian Senate.
The intimation is thrown out that
the Pacific railroads have a big lobby
at the Colombian capital opposing the
ratification of the treaty. and that it
is this lobby that is making all the
trouble. This charge may be true.
When the treaty was pending in our
Senate it was charged many times
that the Pacific railroads were chiefly
instrumental in preventing it's prompt
ratification. The charge was never
proved, however. Those who opposed
the treaty seemed to be honest in their
convictions. The most Of them pre-
ferred the Nicaragua route. Senator
Morgan was then. and is now,
staunch friend of that route. When
he was beaten. and the treaty ratified,
he said that there was no occasion for
the friends of the Panama route to
congratulate themselves, that the Co
iombian Senate would never ratify the
treaty. He based this opinion on his
knowledge of the character of the peo-
pie of Colombia.
a few months ago 1t really looked as
If the time were near when the United
States would undertake the work of
completing the Panama canal Now
the outlook for canal on the Panama
route isn't at all promising. There
seems to be reasons for doubling
whether an isthmian canal will be built
at any time in the near future.

Can it possibly be true that the state
of Georgia has been disgraced by the
laying upon the back of a young white
woman of twenty lashes with leather
strap, welded by a strong man? 1t
makes no difference that the young
woman in question is under the ban
of the law and is an inmate of con-
vict camp. She is still woman, young
in years and not hardened in crime.
For many reasons she is deserving
of pity and sympathy; there can be
no good reason why she should deserve
the lash laid upon her body. This
is no age of barbarism; Georgians are
not savages that they would have
women fiogged for petty violations of
prison rules. Such things may do well
enough for Siberian and other Rus
sian convict camps, but they will not
do in this country, and especially in
this section of it. Corporal punish
ment may be justifiable in the case
of an incorrigible male convict, where
other efforts to correct are unavail-
ing, but there is no justification for
the fiogging Of a young white woman.
We hesitate to believe the story true,
it is SO revolving. We hope that
thorough investigation will be made
and that it will be found the report
is baseless. If 1t is true, then steps
should be taken at once to have the
regulations revised

THE CANAL TREATY IN DOUBT.

His Worst Habit.

George Widener, the son of Peter A.
B. Widener, the noted financier, is a
young man of exquisite taste, says the
Kansas City Journal. This taste he
display equally in his equipages, in the
furnishing of his apartment at Liver
pool hall (the Widener residence near
Philadelphia), and in his clothes, which
are made by American tailors. For it
is now claimed by many persons, wise
in the matter of dress, that the Amer
lean tailor excels the English tailor
in skill That being the case, Mr..
Widener replied truthfully perhaps, to
question that was put to him the
other day. This question arose out of
rather philosophical discussion that
number of young men were holding
in Philadelphia club. 1t was:
What is your worst habit?"
He answered:
"A brown suit, undoubtedly, that
bought in London in June"
