BUNCH TOGETHER.
Coffee Has Curious Way of Finally

His Wife Thought he Was a Goner
and Accordingly Disposed Of
His Clothing.

A young clergyman in making his week
ly visits among the poor Of his parish in a
nearby country village quite recently
learned of a poor, sick man who recently
came from Ireland with his wife and one
child. When the minister called at the
house, relates the Philadelphia Press, he
was given most hearty welcome, and on
reaching the bedside Of the sick man was
surprised at finding him apparently well.
The day being warm the clergyman suggest
ed that he get out Of bed and spend an hour
under shade tree in the garden:
at may do you good" he added.
The wife, who was present, said her hus-
band had~better remain in the house until
the following day and then take little
recreation. When the clergyman returned a
week later he found the husband still in
bed.
Haven't you been out Of bed since was
here?" asked the man of the cloak.
"No, sir. he has not" replied his wife.

EDUCATION AND ROMANCE.
Records Show That Sentimental At
tachments Are Rudely
Shattered

That coeducation discourages matri-
president of Boston coeducational in
stitution, and the theory is not without
the support of logic and the evidence
of experience, states the Chicago
Chronicle.
The sentimental attachments ofyouth
are found largely on idealization OF
character, which mingling of the
sexes tends to destroy. While some
philosophers argue that all sentiment is
the result of contiguity, it is also true
that contiguity often results in the de-
gree of familiarity that breeds con-
tempt.
The maiden who is devoted to study
has little time for lovemaking, and be-
sides the knowledge of men and affairs
she acquires in college course dispels
many illusions concerning the mascu-
line sex and enables her to penetrate
the thin veil Of romance and discern
the stern realities that lie behind it.
1t is recorded that we'll known
heiress was once cured of an infatua-
tion for celebrity who Appropriated
Apollo on seeing him dine heavily upon
! corned beef and cabbage. Doubtless
many a college romance has been de-
stroyed by incidents of a trivial char
acter which revealed the object of af-
lection as a person with the appetite
and desires of an ordinary human be-
ing.
Although much might be said to sup
port the learned and solemn college
president on this subject, his conten-
ton is extremely weak in one particu-
lar: A large majority of college girls
continue to fall in love and to marry.

MODERN ENGLISH SERVANTS
Have Higher Pay, More Holidays and
Finer Clothes Than in
Former Times.

Times change, and our servants
Lincolnshire May Hiring Fairs, which
extend over about ten days, and lately
came to an end, show that the old-fash-
Toned servant maid no longer exists,
says the London Chronicle.
Each succeeding year recently serv-
ants have demanded and obtained high
er wages, and in the case of domestics
the wages paid for their services are
twice as high as those which prevailed
20 or 80 years ago.
Another direction in which change is
indicated is the stipulation for regular
weekly holiday as part of the hiring bar
gain. Very few servants win go out to
situations now without the concession
OF an afternoon or evening once a week,
and in one case girl asked for a special
weekly holiday so that she might take
her music. lesson.
Again, there is the cycling habit. So
many servants on bicycles have never
been seen before as during the recent
vacation. They flocked into East Ang-
liam towns in considerable numbers,
most of them on prettily equipped up-to-
date machines.
The contrast with the "old hands" who
remember the May weeks of so years
ago has been very marked. The agricul-
tural laborer is as well dressed now as
his employer, and the dress of each do
nestle would have provoked the ex-
clamation that she was "a fine LADY,
1HSher grandmother's time.
Another of the many noticeable
changes which the servant problem
has undergone is that of securing a
girl who will undertake the duties OF
milking. In SO cases out of every 100
this branch of farmhouse work is now
delegated to the menservants.
Such changes as these, which make
the lives of servants more enjoyable
than formerly, and mark their enamel,
patton from the dull routine Of daily
domestic work, are the inevitable out
come of diminishing supply rather
than the result of effective trade union
organization.

An English woman socially In

that when the entertainer arrived he

butler, who knew better, apologized

and after dinner arose and addressed
the assembled company in the serv-
ants hall, relates the Chicago Chron!-
