The Servant Girl Problem.
Brooklyn Eagle.

brooklyn EaSle
While organizations of women are being
formed in various cities to deal with the
servant girl problem" by means Of CO.
operative housekeeping and establishing
fixed hours of work. as in trades and busi-
ness one woman in Brooklyn has pointed
out a much simpler solution, and one pos
sible to almost every mistress. This woman
gave a dinner to celebrate the tenth year
of a servant in her employ, invited the
servants family and friends, and then took
herself elsewhere that the party might en-
Joy the feast without constraint. Before
this unusual celebration could have been
thought of there must have been a great
deal of faithful service side and
kindly sympathy and appreciation on the
other 1t is just that kindly, human quail
service more than in any other employ
ment If the duty of being a good mistress
was as much insisted upon as the duty of
being a good servant is by the employers
the servant question would be robbed of
half it's terrors. The other half of the
trouble is inherent in our institutions.
There is no hereditary or traditional class
of servants in this country.
But though American mistresSes are thus
limited in the material which they can Sc
cure for service. there is all the difference
between a comfortable home and house OF
torment I'm the way that material is ham
died. This experiment Of the dinner Is not
new. 1t is simply striking illustration of
a kindly spirit which other women have
shown in othe- ways And such women
are seldom left servantless.

BOYS In TRAINING.
The Young Athlete Should Have ALL
Around Development.

G. w. Orton, in April st. Nicholas.
The first care of the school athletic train
er should be to remember that he is train
ing boys and that he has not full grown
men under his charge. The growing boy
Is capable Of great deal of work. but this
should not be made too severe he will
lose the nervous force which is at the bot
tom of all success in any kind of athletics
The exercise should be made as pleasant
as possible and the young athlete should
not be allowed TO specialize or at least not
in the same manner as the full grown ath-
lete. 1t is all very well for the young ath-
lete to have his favorite event and to have
one in which he is most proficient. but he
should also have certain amount of
sprinting, distance running, hurdling,
jumping, and especially exercise in some
form of light gymnastics. such the chest
weights, Indian clubs or dumbbells. This
will give him the necessary reinforcing or
auxiliary muscles which he will need later
on when as a college man he makes a real
speciality of some event. BY giving the
young athlete exercise that tends to an
fulfilling the object of scholastic athletics,
which is TO send the young man forth from
the school fitted for college not only in
mind but In body as well. In their great
desire to win out" many trainers lose
sight Of this real object of athletics in any
school. They must have winners at any
cost, and they force the young athlete to
such an extent that, though while at school
he does some very creditable performances
he Is never heard of afterward because his
nervous force has been impaired This is
the great danger toward which competi-
tive scholastic athletics is drifting, and it
is the duty of the principals to see that the
future health or the boys intrusted to their
charge is not forever lessened through
overanxious athletic instructors.
The principal should also be most careful
in the choice of a trainer, who, because he
Is older, may exercise a very great infiu-
ence on the boys ideas of fairness and true
sportsmanship.
With but one remark on diet we shall
turn our attention to training proper. The
young athlete need not undergo any svs.
TEN Of diet. He should be merely eau
toned against eating too much pastry, etc
and three or four days before a competi-
ton the trainer should ask him to givc up
everything but plain, healthy food. leaving
out pastry, candy and all sorts of highly
seasoned viands, for if he attempts to mt
them under strict regimen they will
either go to one extreme or the other

STUDENT HOUSEWORKERs.
New Occupation for Young Men Who
Must Work Their Way.
Good Housekeeping.

At Columbia University statistics were
taken to ascertain how its students were
earning money to obtain an education. The
variety of calings was large, probably be-
cause New York city offers to any one who
is in search of work more lines of activity
than can be found in any other one Amer
lean city. One young man, who as a boy
had learned to help his mother, turned
houseworker for a family of three profess
sional women, who were in the city all day
and kept house in a Harlem apartment.
This student took all the care of the apart
ment He arrived on the scene each MORN
ing in time to wash the breakfast dishes
and do the marketing Once a week he
gave the apartment a thorough cleaning,
from scrubbing to busting. The young
women handed him each morning a list of
the supplies they required, and all that
awaited them at night was their cooking.
The verdict of his employers was that their
work was better done than by any of the
women that they had ever had.
This student was not tho only Columbia
man who saw possibilities in housework.
Twelve of them earned their board and
lodging by living in apartments where the
servant question had become more than a
problem. During leisure hours they washed
dishes swept, scrubbed, cleaned, shook
rugs cooked; one man actually did the fam
ily washing, and did 1t well. So ably do the
students fill these positions that occasion
ally a Harlem Washington Heights ma
tron is found advertising for Columbia
student who will emancipate her from help

FERTILIZATION OF ENGLISH.
Our Language Has Many Ways of Be-
coming Enriched.
Public Opinion.

Public opinion.
In an article in the April Harper's Mag
aZine on what he is pleased to call Amer
icanisms" and Criticisms Prof. Brander
Matthews points out some of the advan-
tages TO the language OF the growth OF pro-
vincialisms in word and phrase. One reason
for regarding them with equanimity is the
fact that most of these localisms are in
ept and useless, and their life is, therefore,
very brief, even in their own locality. Those
which are most vigorous survive in the land
of their origin, and of these some few may
in time spread abroad and strike root every
where that English is spoken. So far from
there being any real danger of the defile-
ment of the language by the profusion of
Criticisms and Americanisms of Canadian
isius and Australianisms, of New Zealand
ismS-if such exist, as, no doubt, they do
English is really the most fortunate of all
modern togues in that it has so many
sources of refreshment, so varied. so remote
from each other. The vocabulary of every
language is continually wearing itself out,
and Ii needs to be replenished. sometimes
by the adroit revival of forgotten words,
sometimes by broadening the meaning of
words in current use, and sometimes by the
creation of wholly new words
In this respect French and German are
vastly inferior to English The French and
German people are massed together within
comparatively limited area, and have no
proving grounds for verbal missiles"
Professor Matthews calls them. But En-
gish is the native language not of one great
nation only, but of two; and, while the
United States has within its territory more
than half of those who have English for
their mother tongue, the British empire has
its stations scattered here and there all
over the world. In the British isles, in the
United States. in the British colonies, we
may see just so many several nurseries for
the seedlings of speech. BY such hardy
growths the language will be refreshed and
invigorated and kept from inanition and
sterility. The purist may object to the ac-
ceptance of these useful words; he will de-
nounce them abhorrent novelties. But
If they are really useful they will surely
establish themselves. What the purist can
not be made to admit, or even to under
stand, is that growth is a condition of vi
tality, and that If a language should cease
to grow its decay would soon begin and it's
death be not far distant

THE RELIGIONS OF RUSSIA.
There Are 49,15O.OOO Dissenters from
the Orthodox Church.

ST. Petersburg Correspondence Philadel-
phia Press.
The announcement of the imperial de-
cree declaring religious federation through
out the Russian Empire has aroused con-
siderable interest in the religious makeup
of this nation. According to the latest
available statistics there are in Russia
in round numbers, 95,S5O,OOO orthodox
Greek Catholics, r. 900 Roman Catholics
1215O,O0O Mohammedans, $4,000 Protest
ants, 4,050,0 900 Jews, 1850 900 United Church
and Armenians, and 100000 followers of
other faiths.
Contrary to the usual understanding of
the Russian situation, there has been no
law requiring conformity to the orthodox
belief, with the exception of the restraints
laid on the Jews. The persecution that
been, as a rule, the work of the local
officials. although the Holy Synod has not
been entirely innocent in this regard. The
affairs of the Roman Catholic Church are
intrusted to collegium and those of the
Lutheran Church to a consistory, both set
tied at St Petersburg. Roman Catholics
are most numerous in the former Polish
provinces, Lutherans in those Of the Baltic
and Mohammedans I'm eastern and south
ern Russia, while the Jews are almost en-
tirely settled In the towns and larger viii
lagos OF the western and southwestern
provinces.
In the orthodox church the Car is the
supreme head, with power to appoint to
every office in the church. and to transfer
and remove incumbents, limited only by
the right of the bishops and prelates to
propose candidates. Practically however,
the procurator of the Holy Synod, the
ecclesiastical bureau of the government
has usurped many of the Cars powers in
church matters.
The Empire is divided into five bish-
oprics, which, according to the last pub
lished report, were under the metropolitans,
fourteen archbishops, and forty-eight
bishops. At that time there were 65,721
churches, with 5S.102 priests, and 497
monasteries and 26S nunneries with S,076
monks and S,942 nuns. The management
of church affairs is in the hands of sixty
"consistoriae." The imperial budget for
1900 included 23,559.6S5 rubles for the ex-
penses Of the Holy Synod.
