Princess Mathilde B0naparte,

generation to which her brother

covered from the fracture of her
thigh which occurred at her coun-

the accident, and she stood very
well the journey by road from St.

been getting weaker, and there is
little hope Of her recovery.

King Jerome and niece, there

SKILLED TELEPHONE GIRLS.
In Great Demand in the East Work
Is Very Trying.

Il
Is Very Trying.
Wanted, every day in the year,
bright energetic girls between the
ages of 10 and 20, for good posi-
tions. 1t would appear that the
Industrial situation was fairly
well adjusted for "a proper
ton of working girls. And
yet the telephone company is
sometimes so short of switchboard
operators that the management is
obliged to advertise and TO enlist
the assistance of their women EN-
ployes to find girls for vacant
places A girl needs to be wide
awake at the switchboard, and
only the bright ones are accepted
by the examiner. Very few of
those favOrably passed upon by
her fail to qualify for positions
after the tuition period of one
month.
AS a rule no girl of over 20 is re-
ceived. The theory of the work
could be much more easily impart
ed to a mature woman, but the ac-
tual manipulation of the switch
board seems to be impossible to
the majority of women past the
formative period of life. This calls
for certain dexterity, and az
curacy of touch, which becomes
perfectly mechanical. 1t seems to
be an accepted fact that it is posi-
bic to acquire these in early life.
but very rarely afterward.
To become an expert operator
requires long practice and superi.
or ability. The rank and file of the
girls remain simply competent.
For those who, by virtue of excep-
tiOnal intelligence and character,
exec! their fellows there are Oh
pOrtunities for advancement.
Each central Office has a chief Op.
orator and a number of supervis-
Ors, one to every nine operators.
and these positions command
good salaries. They are all sup.
piled from girls who show ability
at the switchboard and are pos
sessed of strong character and i'm.
telligent minds. Naturally II
sharp lookout is kept for promis,
ing material and no girl who de-,
serves it ever misses promotion.
There are opportunities also for
good operators who are not quail
fled for the highest positions. Ev-
cry outside switchboard calls for
an operator trained in the central
office, and these positions often
pay larger salaries than the cen
trail office girls receive. When
ever an application for an opera
tor comes to the Office the manager
and the chief operator consider
the girls whom they deem cOmpp-
tent TO fill the position. The girl
to whom they offer it, of course. ac-
cepts or declines. as she wishes.
The switchboard is more or less
trying to the nerves of the. oper-
ator, but this is Offset by TIN, con
sideratiOn with which they are
treated by the company.

HOW TO ADDRESS PARENTS.
Father" and mother" Are Rapidly Be-
coming Obsolete Expressions.

Why is it that "father" and mother"
and even spa" and ma are rapidly be.
coming obsolete forms of address to par
Papa" and mamma" are also dying
out, and we now find that at best "patcr"
and mater" are substituted by school
boys.
Even the greatest and best educated of
our public men seem to shirk the terms
father" and mother" distances can
be quoted by the score TO prove this as
sertion.
Dickens III his writings made many of
his characters use every other expression
than father" or mother" when address,
ing their parents. Thus we find Sam
Weller is Il notorious defaulter in this
at different times as THE old 'un," THE
ancient" 'parient,' my old particular"
and his nibs.'
Mr.. Jonas Chuzzlewit called his father
ghost" TO his face. and also you
precious old flint" Mr.. Wemmick, in
Great Expectations" habitually re-
ferred to MS father as 1.-THE Aged r"
meaning parent. Of course.
Sir and madam" used as terms of
address to parents have long gone out of
use. Yet there was n very respectful
ring about them nevertheless.
Dad" and "mumsie" have a lovable
sound, and if substitute for father"
and mother must be used are far and
away the best terms Of address for a son
or daughter to employ.
In many families the girls habitually
refer to their father as poor pa" as
though that individual were to be pitied,
either on the score of worldly wealth or
happiness. or because ne was suffering
from ill-health.
Many a man of 40 has a son of 1S or
so. Now, why that son should invariably
allude to or address his father as THE
Old this or that surpasses compre-
hension. Yet in many families where |
have from time to time been n guest the
sons address their father to his fAee as
odd chap" boss" governor, 'old
gentleman" and even "old buffer"
Nearly all modes of address other than
father" and mother" are bad ard all
children, from the youngest age. should
be taught to call their parents father
and mother" only.-New York News.

HOUSE HAD FAMOUS GUESTS.
The Oldest Hotel in United States West
of the Allegheny Mountains.

The Girard hotel of Brownsville, the
oldest hotel in the United States west
of the Allegheny mountains, and which
has been in continuous service furnish
ing entertainment fot man and beast for
over 100 years. was sold by the sheriff
Of Fayette county last Saturday to sat
lSfy a mortgage.
While not the first hotel built this side
of the Alleghenies, the Girard is with
out doubt the oldest in point of service.
1t was built in 1870, and just four years
ago this summer celebrated the centen-
NAL of its establishment. In the more
than century that has passed since It
was first erected the hotel has been in
constant service. 1t has changed hands
frequently, but has always been a IA
vorite place for travellers TO stop.
In the old days of the National Pike
it was a famous hosiery. Brownsville
was then the head of navigation of the
Monongahela river. The only route from
Washington and Baltimore TO all the
vast domain that lies west of the Monon-
gahela river valley was through Browns
Vile At least that was the direct road
and one Of the most travelled. Gov
errors, senator's, congressman and tray-
elers of every kind and description jour
nCyed that way and made the old Girard
house their stopping place. Andrew
jackson was guest there. So was

tertained at the Girard, and a host of
others whose names are familiar in
American history. Jackson was fire.

Insisted on having the best Monongahela
rye whisky the valley could produce. 1t
is related of him that on one of his trips
over the pike he suffered sprained
ankle and put up at the Girard for re-
pairs. The Brownsville physician called
to attend him undertook to battle the in
jured ankle with whisky, to which "OM
the medical man had his way. the hero
of New Orleans insisted that the use of
the remedy internally would do more

such as | have here, you win see that
the profits are by no means sufficient in

Then YOU have the natural enemies of
the bees and the honey TO contend with.
This hive here, deprived of its queen, is
worthless until provided with another,
and the life of the queen is always pre-
cGrious. Then there is small white
moth which attacks the honey and does
much damage by consuming il; this il a
