The Case of Muggins, Who Wished

The Case of Muggins, Who Wished
She Were Dead.
The terrors of etiquette below stairsl
There once strayed into my employ q
housemaid whose career hitherto had
been confined to lodging houses. Up
stairs she always looked frightened,
and her face had great attraction for
''smuts," but she was very willing and
very competent.
at is not for me to ask madam to
send Muggins away, but the rest of US
will go if Muggins stays. don't know
where she has lived out before, but
she drinks out of her saucer and does
not even know that we expect her to
be down in our sitting room at half
past dressed in her black and ready
to pour out the servants tea" OF
course gave Muggins notice, recog-
nizing that the lodging house was her
proper sphere, and in the month that
followed knew she suffered martyr
dom. She used to wipe her eyes
stealthily, and as she was not proud
showed her some sympathy.
''They amt nice to me downstairs
like you are, ma'am," she sobbed,
though I'm doing my best. Cook says
she won't wipe up the dishes for the
likes of me-"
Never mind, Muggins. You'll be 60
ing soon, and, after all, you have learn
ed good deal here" 1 consoled her.

The vaIue of New Ideas.

The recognition of the value Of new
idea in regard to a business point is
leading employers to encourage criti-
cisms and suggestions from employees
in respect to the details Of the bust
ness, thus utilizing their microscopic
view rather than depending solely on
the birdseye view which is taken by
the manager. A friendly feeling re-
suits from this attitude, and the en-
ployee takes a deeper interest in his
work, developing his own capacity and
helping the business. To see his Idea
carried out by his superiors puts new
life into him and adds new enthusiasm
to his efforts.-Success.

A CARD FROM
ALDERMAN PRYOR.


. The journal takes. pleasure in giving
space to the following card from Al
German Pryor
: Pensacola, Fla, March 10, 1906.
Editor Pensacola Journal:
< From the editorial in your paper of
this morning it appears that in my
czrd published in yesterdays News
mast have touched a sore place.
stated plainly therein that it was
:. written for the sole purpose of setting
myself right before the people, and
that I did not wish to engage in any
n newspaper controversy or gain any
Snotoriety. This card was called for,
by the unfair treatment had receiv-
ed from The journal in an editorial,
criticizing my actions in relation to
the reduction Of the license TO street
shows, and casting a doubt upon my
motives, when it was known to you
that through an interview with your
reporter who had been sent to me,
Just what actHated me in the~course
] pursued.
I hesitated before paying any at
cent1on to the attacks that had been
made on me, and viii now leave the
matter to a discriminating public TO
say whether the card, complained of
by The Journal, was unstable or
not, or whether It is deserving of the
4 most supreme contempt, as you state.
Trusting thatsthis-will end the matter,
and assuring you that I am through
with 1t, am, Respectfully,
o. NJ. PRYOR.
The Journal has only one comment
TO make on Mr.. Pryor's card and that
is to say that he is eminently mista-
ken about having received any ''un-
+, fair treatment" at the hands of The
Journal and that he cannot point to
a single word or line which cast any
doubt upon his motives" or which
questioned anyone's motives" for
signing the request to the, mayor for
a suspension of the city license laws.
The Journal did criticise the course
of the six aldermen who signed the
request and of thesmayor- who granted
his permission" to suspend a city
ordinance. and The Journal. still holds
TO every word and line of its previous
criticism. There was, however, moth
ing unfair in any of this ana. the
first and only person to impugn .any-
} ones motives was Alderman Pryor
himself inzthe card. which The Journal
commented upon yesterday morning.
The Journal now is pleased to
stand with Alderman Pryor in Ieav-
s ing the conclusion of the matter to a
discriminating public"

A GermAh professor selects a woman
who can merely stew prunes not be-
cause stewing prunes and reading Pro-
clus make a delightful harmony, but
because he wants his prunes stewed for
him aud cAoSshs to read Proclus by
himself. A fullness of sympathy, a
sharing of life one with another, is
scarcely ever looked for except in a
narrow, conventional sense. Men like
to come home and find blazing fire
and a smiling face and an hour of re-
taxation. Their serious thoughts and
earnest aims In life they keep on one
side. And this is the carrying out of
love and marriage almost everywhere
in the world, and this the degrading
women by both.-From One Of mrs.
Browning's Letters, 1916.

The BENEFITS of Sugar.

A correspondent remarks that sugar
has modified the history Of Europe and
of the world in more ways than one.
Used in England four centuries ago
almost exclusively in the preparation
of medicines and long afterward an
article of luxury only accessible to the
rich, it has by enlarged production and
cheapened manufacture been brought
within the reach of all. The universal
use of this practically pure carbohy-
drate, which is not only a freely burn
ing fuel and proteid sparer, but a mus
Gle food, increasing the power of doing
work and lessening fatigue, must have
had widespread and beneficial effects
on the national health. Especially in
the case Of children, whose greed Of
sugar is the expression of a physiolog-
ical want, has that food been valuable
In conducting to growth. contentment
and well being.-St. James Gazette.

A Record Breaker.

Among the army of London car
riage drivers is an Irishman noted for
his native wit. 1t stood him in poor
stead one day, however. Pat was en-
gagged by a gentleman to drive to a

On arrival at the gate the fare in
quired, Whats your fare, driver?"

QUEER JAPAN.
A Land Where Laughter Has No Re-
Iation to Pleasure.


A Land Where Laughter Has No Re-
Iation TO PLEASURE.
In ''More Queer Things About japan"
Douglas Sladen says: Perhaps one OF
the severest of etiquettes in Japan is
that of smiles. When you have lived in
that land of smiles you will learn in
time that when you can understand a
Japanese smile you may hops to under.
stand the people A daughter-in-law
must always present smiling face to
her mOther-in-law; the servant must
smile when his mistress dismiSSeS him.
But the news of a death must be told
with laughter. Laughter is reserved
for very special occasions and has no
relation to joy. Smiles are used on
every occasion to conceal real feelings.
They are not always significant Of
pleasure.
'No wants has the Japanese" the
same writer continues. "He can live
in his clothes without tent, he can
live on rice or offal of the sea, and he
is so accustomed to carrying heavy
weights and running long distances
that he can be his own cOmmissariat
and even his own horse"
If the Japanese are somewhat lax
as regards their religion, they are at
any rate believers in cleanliness. The
writer says: Personal cleanliness is a
virtue which all Japanese servants pos
sess. 1t is no unusual thing for Jap
anese servant to apologize to mistress
for not having had time to battle more
than three times that day."

GEOLOGICAL SURVEY
OF STATE NEEDED,
Jacksonville Times-Union. 4.

That our deposits of phosphate
among the most valuable resources
of the state-should have remained
unknown and unsupported for years.
only to be discovered at last by acct
dent, is a significant fact-almost as
much so indeed as the additional fact
that those deposits were finally devel-
oped largely by outside energy and
foreign capital, while the mineral
wealth contained in them is almost
entirely employed to enrich a foreign
soil.
But the story of the discovery Of
moral so obvious and direct that it
would seem impossible to ignore it's
lesson or eyade its emphasis.
Had the wisdom of the lawgivers"
vouchsafed us so simple and obvious
"a CONTINUANCE as a state geological
survey thirty years ago, it is morally
certain that the phosphate discovery
would have been made that much ear
lier. And the mere fact that these
valuable deposits remained so long
undiscovered indicates the existence
of other mineral resources over which
our people are now carrying on the
business of life In blissful ignorance.
The Putnam county kaolin deposits
at Edgar, for instance, were, we neeG
hardly say, not unearthed by a Flor
idian. 1t was left for an expert from
a New Jersey pottery to make this
conspicuous addition to the wealth OF
the state, and when the next addition
shall be made we venture to predict
that it will be due either to accident
or outside enterprise.
That conditions such as these are
far from creditable to our state need
hardly be said. Nevertheless, the bill
providing for q geological survey
which was introduced at the last ses.
sion of the legislature failed to pass
In spite of this fact, we believe that
the best interests of the state demand
the introduction of similar measure
next month; and we are convinced
that, if the matter be taken UP In the
proper spirit by the state press, the
geological survey bill viii this time
meet with proper treatment at the
hands hf our state legislators.
