An eastern exchange in comment
ing on the household servant problem
says that efforts to simplify work, re-
duCe cost and save labor have not
brought the results in domestic ad-
ministratiOn which have characteriz-
ed the evolution Of manufacturing
and business methods. It then ex-
presses the belief that If the men Of
the United States had to do all the
Homework Of the country for ten
years-nOt to hire il done, but to do
it themselves- would be such
a shaking up OF methods as twenty
centuries have not brought about, and
when the women came back to their
own they would find adequate tOOlsfor
carrying on home life. For mans
conception Of housekeeping, says this
authority, would be mainly pushing
button, and the house he would
have under operation in six months
would be a big machine.
Would il be, indeed2 It is a fav-
Orite theory Of the average man that
he could improve on his wife's house
keeping, but there has been ample op-
pOrtunity in twenty centuries for a
testing Of this belief, and no proof Of
its sOundness has ever been offered.
Are not men at the head Of the big
gest households Of the country
namely, hotels, and is hotel house

the well-Ordered private establish
ment? Is the hotel more economical
" managed, is it cleaner, are its pro-
cesses simplified, are its beds made
or its rooms swept or its dishes wash
ed by touching a button2" Is the

lem to the hotel keeper than it is to

GLOBE SIGHTS.

From Atchison Globe.
You can't afford to accept some
presents.
When we read in an obituary Of a
woman that society will miss her, we
are not as impressed as if it said her
family.
You often hear a man say: II know
what I would do in SO-and-So's
place" but at the same time he does
not know what to do half the time
himself.
Here is good news for the thin
haired: a visiting girl in town wears
bow on her head 50 large that no one
has discovered the color Of her hair.
1t is found that the reason an
Atchison man is 50 fond Of lying
day and night is that he is a great
man in his dreams.
An AtchisOn woman, who was a
great temperance worker, died two
years ago. Her husband married
again within a year, and the second
woman buys beer by the case It's
terrible.
Never talk so much Of the state
from which you came that your ac-
qUaintances will despise il. We know
a man who hates Vermont because he
has heard so much about IL from his
wife.
As $4,000 automobiles were sold in
the United States during the first
half OF 1905, you might as well set q
can of gasoline in the barn and get
your horses used to the smell.
Instead Of feeling surprised at SO
many boys lacking q leg or an arm,
every nervous mother wonders that
there are any with the right number.
If a woman has a strong, active son,
full Of life, every time she sees him
she has a greater respect for her hus-
bands mother for having brought
him up to manhood without so much
as losing a tOenail

to the moody face behind her. Cliff
ford had not spoken He was still
looking at the pine-cOvered hills that
frowned darby against the sunset
sky, and it seemed 70 her that the

all at once grown deeper and harder
She glanced down again at the ad-
Oring little cOuntenance on her arm
Years before, CliffOrd's face had worn
that same look OF bOyish idoIatry, and

With a great light in his eyes, the
young man spTang forward, and the
others made way for him as cOurtiers

As the two strOlled down the pine
fringed road, Billy followed at a re-
spectful distance, turning handsprings
that greatly relieved mis- effervesing
spirits.
Had she not kissed him before
them all? All, she might chatter with
these grown young men, dance with
them, dive with them, walk with
them-veTy close as she was walking
now; but kiss them? Never! They
were far too big and old for that, Billy
was sure.

Stories OF Persons in the Public Eye
Now or In the Past.

NOW or IN the EasLa
When the name Of Theodore Roose-
welt came before the senate for con-
frmation as assistant secretary. Of the
navy. there developed a lack OF en-
thusiasm most psrpiexing to Senator
Lodge Several leading republican
senators were suspiciously absent
says Harper's Weekly, and there SEEM
ed to be a quiet understanding among
the democrats most disconcerting 70
the nominees friend. Hasty inquiry
ELECTED the information that Senator
German had effected a combination
sure to result in rejection unless some
democratic votes could be won over
Mr.. Lodge happened TO know that
personally Senator Murphy OF New
York was not unfriendlyto Mr.. Roose-
welt. and going over to his desk stated
the case to him and sought his assist
ance- Senator Murphy Immediately
went over to Senator German and
asked his reasons for opposing the
confirmation First was the an
swer, because he is wholly untitled
by temperament for any executive Do
sition- secondly, because he cannot
help making reckless assertions that
are certain to get the government into
trouble; finally, because he stood up
before an audience in Maryland and
called Senator German a liar. Those
reasons seem to me sufficient I have
him beaten 1 assume, Of course, that
you are with me- Senator Murphy
thought a moment, and eplied: Sen
ator, your first two reasons DO not
seem to me sufficiently important
The third does not seem to me vital,
for the simple reason that the people
Of Maryland know that Senator Cor
man is not a liar. Still I should be
with you in that If he came from any
other state. But he comes from my
state, and my wishes should be con-
sidered- I have no particular interest
in him, but he is a square fellow, and
once he did something that he could
do properly, but needn't have done,
because I asked him to do it I am
sorry, senator, to disappOint you, but
I shall have to do what I can for
him, and shall insist, with the 9TH
ers, upon my prerOgatives as the only
democratic senator from the state he
comes from In the Unwritten code
Of the senate, there was no gafnSay-
ing the argument, and the nominal
ton was confirmed, to that accom-
paniment Of Senator Germans bitter
reflection that every man voting in
the affirmative would live to regret
his action How closely the prophecy
has been fulfilled would constitute the
basis OF an interesting inquiry.

Where Commas Counted.

A school inspector visited a certain
Scotch town in order to make a round
Of the schtOls, and very cOurteously
called first on the mayor to invite his
worship to accompany him, according
to the Dundee Advertiser. On the
messenger announcing his presence
to the mayor the inspector, who was
waiting in an outer Dom, overheard
the remark, Il should like to know
why that ass has come again so soon, -
He said nothing, but bided his time
At one of the schools, as he was ask
ing a class a few questions in gram
mar. his worship remarked, I'VE don't
bother about commas and such like. -

the boys write on the blackboard the

The many Birmingham friends of Mrs. Frank Woodruff will be interested in the announcement made by the Page com pany in regard to the early appearance of her new book, ''The Roses of St. Eliz- abeth," a story for young people. The book, which will be published about July 1. is even more charming. it is said than the authors first story, The Little Christmas Shoe" that exquisite page from life of a little girl in far-away Switzerland, and like d refreshing Alpine breath.
 In her new book Mrs. Woodruff has drawn her inspiration from the old Wart- burg castle, Thuringia. so full of memories as well as traditions of Martin Luther and the beautiful St. Elizabeth.
 The illustrations are Jy Miss Adelaide Eberhart of Atlanta. and one of the most distinguished painters In the south. Miss Eberhart is a sister of Hrs Robert Gun ningham.
 The Southern womans Magazine, in a recent issue, says:
 It is gratifying to announce that an- other book will be forthcoming from the pSil Ol JdHt olbLl ANoOAl biit eA 9CNNiANA IT woman, whose Little Christmas Shoe" has found many friends among both chill dren and grown-ups. Mrs. Woodruff s book, which is now in the hands of her publishers. L. c.

ART EXHIBITION.

The pupils of the art class of the Bir- mingham Seminary gave reception and exhibition last evening. which was both an artistic and social success, the ateliers being thronged with the friends of the seminary. The decorations were in palms and the colors of the seminary which made a shofy effect. The walls were hung with the drawings, watercolors and oil studies, representing the work of the year. Many little flowers studies were grouped to great advantage, dainty in conception and perfect in coloring, the exhibition of the water color class being most creditable. and bringing forth many words of praise.
 The life class had group of interesting studies, showing originality and much talent. The drawings from the cast were particularly strong. Excellent work has been done in the school under the in struction of Miss Emma Jones, the head of the art department.
 | Of especial charm was the group of outdoor sketches, showing little bits of | the parks in Birmingham, familiar views | that appeal to the artist on autumn days, or the early ones of spring, and whicE | make charming studies. A striking ex- hibit was the group of drawings to be sent by the intercollegiate committee of the Young Womens Christian associa- ton to the southern conference at Ashe- vile. The seminary pennants were hung above the exhibit.
 Miss Jones, the art instructor. is well known, and has studied in New York and Chicago with marked success. Her
 
 enthusiastic and the annual exhibit shows beyonds a doubt that the seminary girls have unusual opportunity for the de- velopment of the artistic.
 Among those in the class are Miss Sadie Beard, Miss Emma Brown, Miss Irene Cole, Miss Viva Cooke. Miss Daisy

The Most Beautiful Girl in Russia.

M. A. P.
 Talking of the Russian court, the most beautiful girl in St. Petersburg | society is the only daughter of the | late Vice Admiral Makaroff, who per | ished on board the Petropavlovsk. Miss Makaroff, who is only 20 years of age, is tall and slight, with wealth of soft brown hair, dark eyes, and a rich complexion. She is an admirable English scholar, and has preference for everything English. The erroneous report that crept into circulation that her lover as well as her father had perished on the Petropavlovsk, re- suited in Miss Makaroff receiving in- numerable proposals of marriage from all over the world, one being from a young American millionaire who, in the exuberance of his compass sion, laid both his heart and his for tune at the feet of the beautiful young Russian.
 Miss Makaroff's fiance, Lieutenant Kedroff, is still in China. He left for the east at the very outbreak of hos tilities as aide-de-camp to Admiral Makaroff, and was the only member of the staff who escaped being drowned on board the Petropavlovsk. It appears that few minutes before the Russian fleet set out in pursuit of the Japanese on that memorable morn ing, just twelve months ago, the com mander-in-chief sent the young lieu tenant ashore to telegraph message to Mme. Makaroff at Peterhoff When T I;o,,tanapt Kedroff rptllrned after Dor- forming his commission, all that was left of the great battleship was few floating spars.
