Every big fire has some effect on
the invention of appliances which are
used in the saving of life at such
time, and the great loss of children's
lives in the Iroquois disaster has
directed the attention of inventors to
! the rescue Of the little ones when they
are too overcome by fear to think for
themselves. For their protection from
fire in the home one clever mind has
just designed the accompanying es-
cape for children's nurseries.
An opening is made in the wall of
the room, which connects directly with
the street. The outside and inside of
the opening are protected with shut
tiers, both opening away from the wall.
Into the space between these shutters
collapsible canvas chute is packed
in much the same way as an accord
ion folds up, with one end securely
fastened to the wall by means of
chains.
When there is an alarm of fire all
that has to be done is to open the
inside shutter inwards, give the outer
shutter and chute a push, and the
whole thing falls to the ground, dis
! closing canvas passage, down which
it is easy to make a safe journey to
the ground. The nurse or some grown
person should descend first to receive
the children, though their descent may
be regulated by themselves, if they re-

receives no letters that are not in an
unmistakable feminine hand; nobody
hangs about the gate and whistles,
and nobody has ever been seen to
raise his hat to her, look after her,
or pass her the time of day, in going
by. Perhaps, however, an even great
er quality is that she wants no Sun
days or week days out, except to go
to church, and, although she is strict
ly religious, she sets her duty above
ali things, and never demands her
right when she thinks it would be in
any way inconvenient to her mistress.
Her mission in life is to stick to her
mistress as long as her Mistress will
stick to her. To do this thoroughly,
she has to read her mistress letters,
and woe betide the mistress who, not
being all that she might be, attempts
to part with ''the highly respectable
person." for ''the highly respectable
person" is as solicitous of the welfare
of her mistress as she is Of her fell
low servants. To attain this end, she
is careful to keep her mistress up to
her mark. In the present deplorable
state to which generations OF women
have brought the Servant Market, the
mistress is bound, If not to shut her
eyes, at any rate, not to look too close
ly for faults. But this 1axity does not
suit "the highly respectable person"
Her motto is, Whom the Lord loveth
He chasteneth," and ''the highly re-
spectacle person has aggregated to
herself the role of social blister. She
tells her mistress all she does not
wish to know, but, knowing, must no
tice. She instructs her when the
sieves were not scalded, when the
pots are not cleaned, when the bread
pan has been allowed to grow over
full, where half pound of butter has
been put away and forgotten, and she
leads her around the house to point
out where the busting has been
scimped, and turns up the rugs and
carpets where yesterdays dust has
been hastily hidden. In this way she
fans her mistress into perpetual war
fare with her servants, and poses,
with virtuous pride.
Men, who are unreasonable, and
know nothing of what is good for
them, as opposed to the luxury of
peace and quiet, are no respecters OF
and act as firebrands. They advocate
the casting out OF the one highly
respectable person." and the keeping
of the majority, who are merely hui
man beings, who have followers"
and who want to go out regularly, as
they are entitled to do, and they care
little how servants behave when they
are away from home. These are the
lines upon which men conduct their
businesses, and this is possibly why
their managers, their clerks, and 9TH
er employees remain for years in their
service and work together in harmony.
Women are always crying out against
their servants. Does any lady or gen
tleman want a highly respectable
person" with all the above advan-
tages? know one, at least, whom |
shall be only too pleased to recon-
mend to any master or mistress who
has not experienced such a luxury,
and I promise TO ask no questions.

FIRE FIGHTING IN THE EARLY DAYS

Fire ordinances are by no means
modern or even complicated, at least
in proportion to the new inventions
and causes. electric lights and other
elaborate and infiammable fixtures,
and to the various inventions and
methods OF prevention. Nearly a hun
dred years ago there were ordinances
as numerous and as long for the pre-
vention and extinction of fires. In 1915
Detroit had an elaborate fire ordi-
nance. 1t ordered every householder
to provide a pair of water buckets and
q wooden vessel holding twenty or
twenty-five gallons, with two loops
strongly attached thereto" which
were always to be kept full of water
In place where 1t could not be frozen
and to have q lever or pole of suffi-
cient weight and strength to sustain
said vessel. To each chimney OF his
house he must attach a substantial
ladder. to be fastened to the roof, and
another ladder long enough to COM
municate with the first.
Every male person capable OF giving
assistance must, on an alarm of fire,
repair to the scene, carrying one or
more Of such vessels, and obey the
orders of one of the trustees. Twelve
householders appointed by the board
OF trustees were to provide themselves
each with "a good Telling AK and re-
pair to the place OF the fire. Six others
were to be provided by the corpora
ton with three battering rams, to be
used at fires. There were also twenty
four to be provided with fire hooks"
Every shopkeeper must provide him
self with two or three bushel bags
with which to beat out the fire.

at the kitchen door with the mfIkman
or baker, and at the hall door with
the postman, are duly noted; their
manner of addressing one another,
and any words which they may drop
have a terrible significance when re-
ported at appropriate moments, and,
that they are very foolish persons, is
proved by their objecting to be inter-

lowing themselves to be exasperated

is thus that ''the highly res. ,ectable

it is much better not to be served at
all than by bad servants.

that the SOW knows enough to eat

Cattle Feeding in Tennessee.

Prof. Andrew NJ. Soule, director of
the Tennessee Experiment Station,
says: The feeding OF cattle has not
been engaged in as extensively in the
middle south as the natural conditions
would warrant owing to the frequent
though iIl-founded belief that the win
ter feeding Of cattle could not be made
a profitable industry because of the
limited supply Of corn available for
feeding purposes. There is no reason
why much more corn should not be
grown without increasing the present
area by improving the culture now
given the land, though II the present
corn crop were properly supplemented
by the judicious use of cotton seed
meal, it would already suffice to feed
many thousand head Of cattle that are
now shipped out as store cattle. The
soil and climate Of the state are pc
culiarly well adapted to the production
of winter cereals, such as Larley, oats.

Appreciate Their Value.
A story is told of the late John
Swinton, for many years managing
editor of the New York Sun, who,
when told by the late Charles A. Dana
that he was willing to pay 1925 a
week for first-class editorial writer,
replied that a first-class man could
not be obtained for that. Dana said:
THAT is what 1 pay you, and don't
you consider yourself a frst-class
mani" NO" rejoined Swinton, ''if I
were first-class man 1 should be
paying you $125 week.
The story illustrates that a man
like Swinton, who was a philanthro-
pist. could of course never be the
founder of newspaper like the Sun,
which Mr.. Dana framed as a mere
money-making machine. AS a mere
publicist John Swinton was intellectu-
ally a peer of Dana; that is, he was
as able writer, he was as weIl-inform-
ed a man, and he was an educated
printer. Give him the same compare

Dana and John Swinton could have
