Brazilian Servants.

Servants in Brazil refuse to sleep in
the houses where they are employed,
preferring to sleep at their own homes.
They are accustomed to leaving work
at about seven o'clock in the evening,
and no amount of urging will induce a
servant to return before seven or eight
o'clock the following morning. AS the
baker and the milkman make their
rounds in the early morning, it is the
custom to remove pane of glass from
one of the kitchen windows, and through
this opening the family supplies are
dropped until the leisurely servant ar
rives to take charge of the house. New
residents are apt to complain of this
custom, but they soon make the discov-
cry that servants in Brazil are as i'm
portant as our own kitchen monarchs,
and the only alternative is to do ones
own housekeeping.

Short Names and Fame.

Although a geat majority of the men
in this country have three names an
unusual proportion of those who attain
eminence in public life have only two.
Take the recent cabinet changes as an
illustration: Paul Morton resigned,
John Hay died and Elihu Root is to re-
turn to the cabinet. No middle name
in any of these cases. OF rs men who
have held the Office of president only
seven have had more than two names.
c. the rs vice presidents 13 have had
two names and 13 have had three. The
United States supreme court has had
eight chief justices, four with two
names, four with three. Of 80 secre-
taries of state, including Mr.. Root, 81
have had but two names. AS every
American-born boy has a chance to be-
come president parents would do we'll
to give names easily said and easily re-
membered.-N. Y. World.

VARIETY ARTISTS THRIFTY,
Many Vaudeville Performers Are
Frugal and Putting
BY Money.

Some little known facts about fra
ternity are told by Hartley Davis in
Everybody's. "The conduct of the
vaudeville theaters," Mr.. Davis says,
"has been reduced to a system that
makes that of the legitimate ones ap-
pear almost chaotic, and from being
q most uncertain business it has be-
come one of the most dependable.
They are controlled chiefly though
book agencies, which are most remark
able places. Your real vaudeville per-
forner-and he dominates the business
lis the most clannish of persons. He
has great respect for his profession
and no great concern in anything out
side of it. These performers are the
best paid and the frugalist, thriftiest
workers in the world, suppose.
Most Of them own real estate
farms appeal to them as to the wan
derers Of the sea-and very consider
able number are comfortably rich.
Formerly they used to invest In dia-
monds, partly because they liked the
display, partly because the gems were
collateral that could be turned imme-
diately into cash. In the days when
their incomes were uncertain, they had
to be prepared for idle weeks. More
over, the fact that they had to man.
age themselves and to pay all their
own expenses, including railroad fares,
made them fairly skillful in business
affairs. For the most part they have
rooted objections to spending money
for sleeping cars and to paying the
prices demanded by first-class hotels.
It is not in the least uncommon for q
team receiving $400 week to be per-
fectly content in boarding house
where they pay SIS for two persons.
Unlike the legitimate actor, your true
vaudeville-ist is seldom afflicted with
the dangerous disease known, as
nervous prosperity With the per-
former, success and a doubled income
mean SO much more money to be
saved, not spent. In New York there
are three big apartment houses de-
voted exclusively to vaudeville per-
formers, who can rent from two to six
rooms, all furnished anu ready for
housekeeping, in which they can stay
a week or year. They move in when
they reach town, and the lady who
:loes such remarkable stunts on
1rapeze unconcernedly sets about pre-
pairing breakfast before going to re-
Ecarsal."

fact that a 18th card OF one of his

England the superstition that one Of

the insurance Offices that out of 10

On a general survey of all the great
er qualities men usually claim for
themselves that women are on an in
ferior moral platform. With many pro-
testations women are, perhaps, inclined
to admit that some sort of plausible
case can be made out for men. But on
one thing women are unanimous. They
assert as q self-evident fact which can.
not be contradicted that men are abom-
inably selfish in little things.--Satur-
