 If the business of churches in New York is to lift the community and the individual interdenominated and to de- velop them to the consummate type of Gods purpose, then the federation is the best means by which they may ef- feet 1t. I believe that under the com bined action of the churches the king dom of God in New York is emerging and will enter the temple of humanity and fill 1t with life and light"

The maids duties are 10 keep the parlor swept and dusted. and her self tidy and ready to attend the wo- men guests who desire her services. The chambermaids, bathroom girls, paint cleaners. and scrub women (of whom every hotel employs small army) each receive $12. The work of the two last named is distinctly differ ent. A scrub women would not think of cleaning paint, and a paint cleaner would feel that she was demaning her. self in scrubbing the floor. Throughout the house the auction of social distinc- ton is argued, the maids feeling above the bathroom girls, the parlor maid above the other maids. and the linen room girls above the parIor maid, and so on. Human nature is much the same the world oyer. In the parlance of hotel employees. scrub women are known as "soubrettes,'' the chamber maids as the chorus" while the par Ior-maids are called show girls" The ''soubrettes" begin their work at one o'clock i'll the morning, and do not fin- ish until about five. They scrub the floors, and go throughout the house with soap and water. At the Hotel Victoria Cthe exception among the va- rious hotels mentioned) the employees are permitted to enter the helps dining hall at any time of the morning or af- ternoon between regular meals and have cup of tea and light lunch-a system which has much to do with the contentment reigning among the em- ployees of this establishment.

VALUE OF BUTTERFLIES.

When our Juniors see the common white cabbage and sulphur wing but terf1ies, or even the superb Monarch and gorgeous Ajax swallowtails, f1it- ting through the fields or, at times. city streets they perhaps never give
 though to the fact that butterflies may be of commercial value. But such is the case. Some of our domestic butter flies, on account of rarity, more than beauty, command prices from one to
 several dollars, which collectors gladly pay to insure the completeness of their cabinets. Big prices are paid for some of the magnificent butterflies of the Morpho and Papilio benera, which are rainbow hued in colors and span five feet in wings. These flourish in tropi- cal countries, and 1t is often necessary for museums to send out special ex- petitions for them. They range from $10 to $100 in value.-Baltimore Herald.
