NlStTcS9 W nom II servant HcopeCt9s
A woman should insist upon being
mistress of her own kitchen, but I'M
less she possesses self-control patience
and tact. she Is really just as unfit to
manage her servant as a child. 1t: Is
a very true saying that man or wom-
an who has not learned to control self
is not fit to control others. If wom-
an cannot go into her kitchen without
losing her patience or losing her tenn
per she would do better to stay out Of
it. Fault must be found, but with SER
wants. as with children, 1t should be in
a quiet, dignified way, and proper
time should be chosen for 1t. A wom-
an who does not know any better than
to take time when a servant Is par
ticularly busy or has some special piece
Of work she is trying to get through,
such as washing ironing or getting
dinner. will never be likely to have
good service. If she scolds or nags
she at once lowers herself to the level
Of her servant. and loses the respect
which every mistress Of n house should
strive to deserve from those about her.

Baltimore & Ohio Terminal at Twenty
third Street, New York City.

All passenger trains of the Baltimore
& Ohio Railroad to and from New York
City now have direct ferry connection
to Liberty Street, the South Ferry
Terminal having been discontinued.
Twenty-third Street is the most popu-
lar terminal of the great metropolis be-
cause Of its convenience to the hotel,
theatre and shopping district. In the
recent remodeling of the terminal build
ing glass rooted canopy was construct
ed fifty feet wide, under which the cross
town cars of 18th, 23rd, 2Sth, and Goth
Street lines pass, so that passengers are
protected from the weather leaving the
ferry house, and also avoid the annoy
ance of street traffic.
All baggage destined to New York
City will be delivered to 23rd Street un-
less distinctly marked Liberty Street
or otherwise.
a complete electric cab service has
also been established for the transporta-
ton of passengers and baggage at very
reasonable rates.
The Importance of 23rd Street is most
graphically brought to attention in the
August number of the "Book of the
Royal Blue" published by the Passenger
Department of the Baltimore & Ohio
under the title Into the Heart of Goth
am" The interest centers within a
radius of 23rd Street, Fifth Avenue and
Broadway. Full page photographs of
unusual detail present a most vivid
picture of this most interesting locality.

Buffalo Bill'S Bad Indians.

When Buffalo Bill" wv. F. Cody,
was dining with two of his Indians a
few years ago in hotel in New York
both of the Indians ordered oysters
Seeing the waiter place a bottle o.
tobasco sauce on the table, the In.
dams asked Colonel Cody what thai
was for. He told them that was to
give the oysters flavor.
So one of the Indians put very
large quantity on his oysters AID
commenced to eat them. AS he did
so the tears commenced to triGkle
down his cheeks.
The other Indian, seeing him, ask
ed, "What are you crying for2" and
at the same time putting large
quantity of the sauce on his own oys-
tiers.
II was just thinking of my broth
that was killed in BATTLE" replied the
first Indian. Just then the other In,
dian began to cry,
What are you crying about2' ask
the second Indian.
81 am crying" remarked the first
Indian, because you weren't killed
with that brother of yours"

Did you ever see a woman with
hoops on? She looks like an Esqui-
mau hut. A lot of women looklike a
whole village. A cross.section of a
woman in hoops looks like a circus
tent with two center poles. A near
sighted man took bunch of ladies
for a harvest field, and they were
shocked. Still, hoops have their ad-
vantages in the economy of space.
Instead of carrying her arms and
shirtwaist front full Of bundles, a wo.
man can hang them on little hooks
inside her hoops. l never did like
the shirt waist dry line, anyhow.
When a fellow embraces his lady
friend he doesn't like to get his arms
full of soap and uneeda biscuit and
patent medicine bottles and new socks.
Still, there would be little choice if
the lady had her hoop-skirts hung
full of canvas-covered hams and things.
Once lady tried using her hoop
skirts as bundle carrier, while out
shopping, and then got off street
car backwards, and when she stopped
lighting it looked like cyclone had
hit country store.

Electric Bait For Fish.

The New York aquarium, which is
the largest and best equipped institu-
ton Of its kind in the world, obtains its
supplies of tropical fishes from the
waters of Bermuda. Some Of the
rsrest and most beautiful species are
exceedingly hard to catch, persistent
ly refusing to take bait, and on this
account it has been found necessary to
resort to a very novel and ingenious
expedient to effect their capture, an
electrical contrivance which serves TO
stun the coveted specimen and reduce
it to helpl, ssness until it can be made
a prisoner.
The device in question consists in
part of small and compact storage
battery which is held in leather
pouch beneath the arm of the operat-
or, who wades as quietly as possible
through the shadows and invades,
with as little disturbance as may be,
pools among the rocks. He carries
long handled dip net, to the handle
of which wire is attached. On the
end of the wire is fastened small
percussion cap of the kind used for
exploding dynamite cartridges. 1t
is the bursting of the cap that is re-
lied upon to stun the fish.
Luckily for the hunter, fishes have
as much curiosity as land animals,
and even the shyest one will approach
bait to look at it, though indisposed
to attemp of the slightest nibble. Ac-
cordingly the percussion cap at the
end of the wire is concealed either by
something eatable or by a bunch Of
grass wrapped around it. Mr.. Fish
wonders what it is, ventures near and
has instant reason to regret his i'm
prudence. The fisherman closes the
circuit, the percussion capis exploded,
and the victim is rendered for the
moment lifeless. though receiving no
| permanent injury. Promptly, by re-
versing the dip net, he is gathered In,
and few days later he finds him
self swimming about in tank.
The fishes from Bermuda are car.
ried to New York on steamers, Of
course, and it is curious fact that
during the first twenty-four hours of
the voyage they are liable to become
quite seasick.

Kept His Word.

The day had been heavy one ior
the Blankshire rife volunteers. Un-
der the swelteriDg sun they had
marched till their feet blistered and
they were weary in the extreme.
AT last Private Hopkins "fell out.
81 won't walk another step he de-
clared.
Come along, man u cried his cap
tain. 1.-THE invading force is known
to be in the neighborhood, and you'll
be captured if you stay behind"
But nothing would induce the val
liant Hopkins TO move another step
therefore the regiment went on with
out him.
They had barely passed out o
view, however, before Private Hop
kins was observed to be pounding at
ter his comrades at speed which
would have done professional ath'
lete credit, maddened bull close be-
hind him evidently supplying tht
necessary motive for haste.
He reached them safely, the bul

The new reporter, in his story o.
the wedding, wrote, 1.-THE floral dis.
play stretched from the charcel raj
to the doors of the church.
The city editor, in mild manner,
as is the custom of city editors with
new reporters, said
Couldn't you have used better
word that stretched ? Say the floral
display nodded or 'twined' or some
thing like that-some word more sug-
gestive of flowers"
Stretched is all right in this
case, replied the new reporter, with
the stubborn courage of a realist.
"The decorations consisted of six rub
Der plants, and they had to stretch to
cover the distance.

To-day the Only Period for Which We
Are Accountable.


The coming year will have 1865 days
in its calendar, but really will have
only n working day, and that is
called To-day That is all you will
be accountable for; none but a fool
lives in tomorrow. Serve your Mas
ter by the day. Each four and twenty
hours brings it's own duties to be
done, its own loads TO be carried, and
its own progress to be made heaven
ward. There lever was a Christian
yet strong enough to carry to-day's
duties with to-morrow's worries piled
on the top of them. Take short
views, and never try to climb walls
until you get to them, or to cross a
bridge until you reach it. Begin every
day with Jesus Christ, and then, keep
ing step with him, march on to duty
over the toughest road that lies be-
fore you, and in the teeth of the hard
est head wind you may encounter.

GREAT DAY FOR THE ROMANS
Right Beginning Of New Year Meant
for Them Success.


No nation has ascribed so much
Importance to the beginning OF
things as the Roman. To that people
there vas a magical connection be.
tween a right beginning and success.
To them New Years day was the day
of days. 1t was the anniversary OF
the founding of the city of Rome,
which they considered the greatest
event in the worlds history. They
called the first month of the year
January in honor of Janus. the god
of doors and beginnings. (The world
still uses a heather calendar.) At
dawn of the new year the people,
rohed in white, sacrificed elaborate of.
ferings to their gods, especially to
Janus. Fraternal greetings, benevo-
lent gifts and exchanges of costly
presents marked the day. All evil
speaking, quarrels or excuses were
for one day laid aside and the ideals
for a nobler future were brought to
mind by parallels enacted in public
places. The soldiers renewed their
VOWS of loyalty to Caesar and put on
new uniforms

The Animals Season Greetings.

The action and voices of domestic
animals on New Years day are said
to be more significant than any other
omens.
A dogs cheerful bark in the morn.
ing is a most suspicious. sign, while
his howl is very u%nfavorable.
TO meet the cat on the morn Of the
New Year is considered by people in
the Latin countries as a sign that
they will change their residence, and
it also betokens i'll for the future.
Throughout southern Europe it is
regarded as a most fortunate sign to
see a pig, sign:fying plenty for the
coming twelve months.
The sight of a snake is considered
to be the worst conceivable omen, for
it means death by violence.
To see a jackdaw, maybe, or crow
is a sign that the beholder will be
cheated on all sides during the fol.
lowing year.
