DeeIl, tHdH, DS reason O1 tIe pHe-
nomenal growth of their wealth,
has taken place In the running of the
households OF the rich.
1t is not SO very long since these house
holds were carried on much as they were
half century ago. Then the master of
the house generally, though sometimes its
mistress. looked after most of the buying
while the mistress of the house almost in
vsriably gave personal attention to the de-
tails Of its carrying on. even If she had a
hired housekeeper to assist her.
This old system still survives in a few
Philadelphia families. In that city 1t is by
no means unusual to this day, to see the
o!d-school head of one another old. old
family visit the market. accompanied by a
trusted servant, bearing a huge basket.
From stall to stall go master and man. the
former inspecting, bargaining for and or
dering roasts, fish, fowl. various vegeta-
bles and other foods.
When the big basket is filled the mas
ter proceeds on his way down town to bust
ness If he is in business; If not he goes
about wha tever social or other pursuits he
affects, while the servant goes home with
the basket. This is the old colonial system
exactly, and it is carried out to its logical
conclusion by the master of the house look
ing after his own household accounts, even
to keeping the family books himself and
making the entries therein with his own
hand.
There Is n story that at least one Of the
richest federal senators looks after his
household expenditures in the same way
much of the time, when he is in Washing
ton.

But the households of the rich Of TODAY
are altogether too big to be carried on after
this fashion. They often number from so
to $50 persons, the expense of running one
of them for year is enough to make what
was a very respectable fortune only few
years ago, comparatively, and the accoun. IS
are SO complicated to require the .serv-
Ices of an expert bookkeeper. Not infre-
Quently the books are almost as intricate
as the books of a big corporation. Indeed
the household books Of more than one
multi-millionaire railroad man are modelled
the books of the railroad line through
which the family won It's wealth and social
prestige.
In households Of this sort, where the af-
fairs of the family money mill are so en-
crossing as to take all the time and energy
of the head Of the house, and her social
duties extensive as to overWhelm its
mistress, the executive household head Is n
hired employee per force. In one family this
employe is said to be known the "chate-
laine," though it seems strange that any
woman to whom 1t rightfully belonged
would readily surrender this title, originally
meaning the mistress of the castle" 10
another.
Sometimes she Is called the stewardess,
as she would be in a hotel, and sometimes
merely the housekeeper; but, whatever the
title, some one almost always a woman,
has to be employed in every multi-milion-
aire family of social pretensions to act as
executive head to put into operation the
briefly expressed wishes of both master and
mistress of the house.

men, head gardeners and stablemen are
these situations the foreign born are
much in the majority.
Il
To get back to the conduct OF the multi
millionaire household 1t should be under
stood that each employee is carefully
trained to do his or her part perfectly.
1t is the duty of one of the maids. for
instance, TO see to 1t that cut flowers are
freshly supplied, daily. or as often as nee
essary; another maid dusts the hall, others
look after the bed chambers, and SO on.
The buffers staff has entire charge of the
ground floor, the basement and the cellars,
excepting the laundry and the charmed re-
gion over which the chef presides. Each
member of the buffers stan is expected to
perform certain well-defined duties and
others IT, by reason OF temporary short
handedness about the house one of them
does the work of another. 1t is always as
favor and never exacted as a duty
Both the butler and his helpers-in fact
all the servant members of the household
are trained to receive and execute orders
with the men of those to whom of right
orders should be given; never to display the
slightest interest in the converse ton of
their superiors, either guests or members
of the family, and, in general, to behave
as II born to render service. This, the
foreign born men-servants of the modern
muiti-millionare family have no difficulty
in doing, and the household executive is
rarely troubled by a change in the per-
sonnet of the buffers staff There are
plenty of buffers who feel proud of having
served the same family for ten, fifteen,
even twenty years more.
1t is not with the maids. Many of
them are OF American birth and the house
hold executive in the millionaire's
home often finds the servant problem
above the ground floor as serious as any
midde-class housewife finds it in her mod
est home.
1t should be said of the wooden-faced
butler and his assistants that in general
they are really as independent-minded as
any one else. Their apparent submissive
ness and their Indifference to what is going
on about them are only surface indications,
by no means borne out by their unvoiced
mental attitude. They earn their wages by
a show of Difference and by somewhat oS-
tentatious obedience when on duty. 1t is
only when off duty and among his own kind
that the imported man-Servant in an Amer
lean multi-milionaire family speaks his
mind and shows his real self.
Then, sometimes, he gives utterance to
the most extraordinary sentiments; then,
Il he knows and trusts you, he will tell you
what he thinks of the country. Invariably
he will say he stays on this side of the
ocean only because the wages here are
high. He doesn't like to think of his
CT daughter going back. and he never plans
for either to be house servant, like him
SELF either side of the ocean.

May 5th the annual fiesta in No- gales, Sonora, will be inaugurated upon a greater scale than ever be- fore. The concession this year has been granted Mir.

Lodged in Jail.

Sunday evening Jasper Scriv- her, the man arrested at Gro Blanco on suspicion of having been the murderer of Mr. A. c. Lamb, was brought in from Mf hat place, having been held by Justice Mechanism and sent over to the jail. But he was held upon an other charge-rape; developments having justified his examination upon that line. The murder charge is yet in abeyance, awaiting further investigation by the off, cers. Sergeant Olds of the Ram gers went over and made the ar rest. Sheriff Fowler had made an investigation, and had found much evidence to support a suspicion that Scrivener was implicated in the murder; but he was not entire- ly satisfied. So he sent over Ser geant Olds to investigate. The i'm quiries of the latter corroborated what Mr. Fowler had learned. Discovering that Serivener was preparing to leave the country, Olds arrested him on suspicion. Later the rape case developed, and it was concluded to examine and hold him upon that charge. The next grand jury will inquire into both cases.

Some "ponts" About Dress,

Don't dress the neck too warm when
going out in cold weather. A little
extra protection is required for the
cars. but it is not necessary to muffle
up the neck with thick furs to protect
the ears. Warm wrappings about the
neck cause the skin of the neck to
become moistened with perspiration.
When the wrappings are removed in
doors, the slow cooling which takes
place in consequence of the evapora-
ton chills the part, and may produce
sore throat or nasal catarrh.
Don't wear rubbers indoors, nor out
of doors, except when it is necessary
to prevent wetting the feet. Rubbers,
being impervious to air, prevent evap-
grafton, so that the perspiration is re-
tanned, and the shoes and stockings
become damp from the perspiration.
When the rubbers are removed, evap-
Grafton chillS the feet the same as If
they had been wet by the rain or by
walking on a wet pavement On re-
moving the rubbers after they have
Teen worn for some time it is a good
precaution to remove the shoes and
stockings and put on dry ones. If this
cannot be conveniently done care
should be taken to keep the feet warm
until the shoes are dry. The rubbers
should be dried before wearing again.

1t is safe to say that modern cook
ing develops business for both the sa-
loonkeeper and the undertaken. When
a boy eats mustard plasters in the
form of food that is almost saturated
with fiery spices and irritating condi-
ments. thirst is created that nothing
but liquor or cigarets will satisfy. Man
is admonished to "eat for strength,
and not for drunkenness, but in these
days anything that will tickle the four
square inches of taste surface is con-
sidered good food, although it may
contain scarcely any of the elements
that nature requires to replace broken
down tissues and to rebuild the worn
out brain. AS a consequence, the vi
tality and physical resistance soon
reach such low ebb that the individ-
ual falls an easy prey to any microbe
with which he may chance to come in
contact
