FEW ITALIAN SERVANT GIRLS.
One Nationality Which Is Practically
inexperienced at the New York
Employment Agencies.

Next to May, September is the month
In which the employment agencies in
New York are busiest, states the New
York Sun. Women who have to depend
upon these places note as remarkable
circumstance that among the number
of girls to be engaged for domestic serv-
ice, including Irish, Swedish, German,
English and French maids, colored
girls, Swiss and Russian girls, Cana
dian, Dutch, Polish, Scotch. Hungarian
and Bohemian girls, there are no Ital-
ians.
This exception is the more surprising
because male Italians devote them
selves largely to the class Of work which
most nearly corresponds to domestic
service among women. There are Ital-
ian walters, Italian Wallets and Italian
porters, not to speak of Italian peddlers,
bootblacks, BARRIERS and grocerymen;
but there are no italian servant girls.
The dearth of these is the more sur
prising because Italy is one of the coun-
tries in Europe in which the number
of female births greatly exceeds the
number Of male births, and Italian girls,
usually precocious, do not lack training
in their own country as to the require
msnts Of household service. to which
they devote themselves almost exclu-
sively, there being few co-eds and still
fewer professional women in Italy.
For many years the explanation of
this anomaly was to be found in the fact
that a large proportion of the immigra-
ton from Italy was male, but in recent
years this disparity has not continued.
Italian girls are not lacking in the at
tributes required for efficient house
hold service. They are quick, indus
trious and frugal; they do not drink;
they have no top-lofty social notions;
there Is little demand for their services
in such professional occupations as
typewriting, bookkeeping and stenog-
raphy. The fact is that the girls in
clined to domestic duties marry They
do not become servants.

made. In the following % years the
boat builders of England and the United
States have bent their energies toward
the construction of racing yachts of
the speediest type. Canada twice took
up the fight of the mother country. In
the last ten years Lord Dunraven with
The two Valkyries and Sir Thomas Lip
ton with the three Shamrocks have done
all the fighting for the trophy.
Only once in all the series Of races
sailed has an English boat won a single
race. In 1871, when the Livonia was
challenger, she beat Columbia in one
race. Sappho was at once substituted
to defend the cup and defeated the Liy
onia three times In succession.

Virginia City, New, has just about
reached the limit Of going down HILL -
said George W. Sproule, clerk Of the
United States court, reports the Helena
Record. 1.-THE authorities have abolished
the street lights, discharged the solitary
night Waterman and reduced the fire de-
partment to two men. Listen to this, ~
continued MIR. Sproule, as he picked up a
Nevada Newspaper and read: "'The
Virginia Enterprise says that owing to
the shortness Of funds in the Storey
county treasury the commissioners have
found it necessary to cut OF all expenses
possible. After the first of next month
there will be no more street lights on the
old Comstock. The fire department is to
be reduced to two men and the one po-
liceman now doing duty at night will be
dispensed with. Poor old Virginia! It
seems a pity that place once the live
Hest In the world should go so completely
to the dogs that there is nothing left
worth stealing and the few people left
there must either stay at home nights or
carry lanterns

the town had population of 10000 per-
sons. 1t doesn't seem possible that it
should have reached its present state OF
di1apidation. In those days 1t was the
liveliest place In the west, bar none.

Unfortunately for the student who likea

not appear before the same crowds. In
the American league circuit Lajoie il

while in the National league citiei
Hans Wagner is recognized as the star
of the aggregation.
1t would be hard matter to decide
which really is the better player. La
ioie and Wagner are in way playing
the game on about the same lines. Both
are awkwardIy built fellows who do not
impress one as having much speed, but
who are much faster than some of the
players who are listed among the fast
men of the profession. When it comes
to batting they are in class by them
selves AS fielders, both are stars in
their respective positions. When it
comes to all-round work Wagner seems
to have a bit the better of his rival for
first honors, for Wagner has proved
star in every position he has been
placed. He was a star outfieider,
cracking good first baseman. and as a
shortstop there Is not a man in the
league who is his equal, all things con-
sidered. Another advantage which
Wagner seems to have over Lajoie II
that he is a scrappy, aggressive player.

The races for the cup have brought
about a marked change in the speed
qualities Of racing yachts. Sir Thomas
Upton says that the development OF
Eere speed is of no value whatever to
shipbuilding and predicts that another
boat like Shamrock III. will never be
built England. In II years the area
Of sail on the challengers and defenders
has been almost doubled. The May
flower in 1886 carried only $500 square
feet of sail, while Reliance could hoist
16,199 square feet. The size of the
boats has also been increased gradually
Mayflower had length over all OF
100 feet, while Reliance is 1884 over
all. The length over all has been in
creased without making any material
change in the length at the water line.
