in England they have law, and the
/ law runs thus:
! Any domestic servant applying for a
situation and positively engaging to en-
ter upon such situation, shall begin
work on the day agreed upon. If she
afterward change her mind and refuse
to enter upon her duties, and her pros
pective employer yet requires her TO
do so, she shall pay to the prospec-
tive employer such a sum of money as
shall have been agreed upon between
them as the amount for one months
wages.
This law works the other way and
protects the servant from the mistress
who shall have changed her mnd after
positively engaging her The mistress,
in refusing to carry out the agreement,
shall pay to the servant one month :
wages.
This part Of the law acts as pro-
lection for both parties after the en-
sagement has been made, but the work
not yet begun.
After the servant has entered upon
her situation, the mistress, except for
very grave cause, such as habitual
drunkenness, immoral and disgraceful
conduct, obscene language, or the posi-
tive refusal of the servant, in so many
words, to obey reasonable commands,
cannot discharge her without giving
her one full months notice, or paying
in lieu of the notice, one full months
wages. This does not mean notice
to go at the end Of the present month,
or wages up to that date, but notice
TO go in 80 days or wages for 80 days,
besides the wages due at the time Of
the giving Of notice. This prevents a
girl from being put out in the street
without board or lodging or the money
to pay for them
The law in this regard, also working
both ways, does not allow the servant
to leave her mistress in the middle of
dinner preparations or making bed.
Except for very grave cause, the maid
may not leave her mistress without
giving her 80 days notice, and should
she do so, the mistress may sue her
and obtain judgment for costs and one
full months wages to be paid by the
servant, the servant also losing what
ever of money may have been coming
to her at the time she left her en-
ployer. She may have worked three
weeks of the month. She loses her
three weeks wages and pays the mis-
tress whom she has put to inconveni-
ence one months wages besides.
This is the law as it stands in Eng
land. 1t is absolutely just and i'm
partial, as are most English laws.
The English duchess, with her so SER
wants, is amenable to it. and so is the
wife of the little shopkeeper who en-
ploys the sad and forlorn-looking lit
tie general" while the smart house
maid who dusts her grace's boudoir
and the little slavey who whitens the
shopkeeper's hearthstone enjoy its
protection.

JOHN LIS ADVICE TO BOYS.

John L. Sullivan, at his recent Bos
ton benefit, said to two schoolboys
who approached to shake his hand:
Boys, If you want to get on, dc
your work. Work is the only thing tc
make men happy and successful.
Don't be like the lad who worked
so badly that when his father wrote tC
the boss of the concern asking where
his son slept, the answer sent bach
was:
Your son sleeps in the shop in
the daytime, but we don't know where
he sleeps at night"

Crafts and Prunings.

The experiment at Mt Hermon
school in Mortified suggests a new
line of agricultural education. This
teach agriculture of a grade which will
prepare students for the work of the
agricultural college The course would
also be a good thing for young men
who intend to become farmers with
out going to college. The school was
Moody. The institution has a large
farm of over 1000 acres, which have
been cultivated almost entirely by the
students, who are required to work
two hours day. There is good for
est of commercial value and equip
ment of up-to-date farming machinery,
a large poultry plant and herd of
Holstein cattle. This school is open
all the year around, the summer term
having begun April 90.
Henry D. Perky of New York has
bought the famous Filston farm near
Baltimore for $4,000 and will trans
fer to it the Industrial science school
which was formerly the Dread insti-
tute of Worcester. The students will
also be taken there. Filston will be
named Dread. and MIR. Perky has
bought adjoining lands, the total in
vestment amounting to s250,000 At
Worcester only young women were re
ceived as pupils, but the Maryland
school will receive both sexes. The
large estate will be divided into small
farms of 10. 20, 40 and so acres, and
upon each one or more tenants will be
placed The young farmers must be
self-reliant, as no outside financial
help viii be received, nor will exemp-
tion from taxation be asked, although
this is a usual help accorded to educa-
tional institutions.
The French national society of agri-
culture has recently had its attention
called to a new potato, which some
French journals say will supplant the
Irish potato. The technical name of
the new vegetable is solanum CONNER
sonii. but it is now beginning to be
called he Uruguay Irish potato, as it
comes from the banks of the Mercedes
river. in Uruguay, The yield is said
! to he enormous. and it appears to be

! iato is cultivated like the common
potato.
