Salaried Daughters.
From the Independent.

From the Independent.
Where there is need OF her work in the
home, and often help has to be hired to
take her place, the daughter should be given
a regular salary. approximately the equiva-
lent of what she could earn outside after
making allowance for board, room rent and
the numberless privileges girl has in her
fathers home. The salary should be at
least equal to what would have to be paid
for the same work If a stranger were called
in to do It, and the duties should be as dis
tinctly defined and as promptly and eff
GENTLY performed. This Is a very different
thing from an allowance without definite
duties.
We know of several families where this
plan has worked successfully. In one in
stance the daughter, while unmarried. be-
came capable housekeeper and manager,
buying all supplies and relieving both par
ents of care and annoyance, for which she
received a housekeeper's wages at the end
of every month. Another, whose mother is
an invalid, gets a weekly envelope contain
ing the same amount that would have been
paid a nurse. Both these salaried daugh-
ters were happy. contented and efficient.
and each had feeling of independence and
self-relance never TO be attained under
the allowance system or the usual hap
hazard appeal to father for money to
crafty needs or whims.

Insulting Nature.

FROM the Architectural RECORD.
The right of railroad to dlsfgure by its
erections the landscape through which 1t
passes is still unimpeached. But there is a
growing feeling that there are passages of
natural scenery which are not thus to be
insulted. To take advantage of a famous
work of nature by advertising to take tour
lists to 1t, and then to insult it by an in
famous work Of art, is kind Of "self-de
vouring absurdity' of which it is to be
hoped and even partly to be expected, that
we have seen the last. Such work is the
cantilever across Niagara, of which we
may take 1t, from the later crossings of the
gorge, that the projectors have had the
grace to become ashamed. In sooth, it IS a
grewsome object fit to be compared only
with the other grewsome monstrosity of the
same construction that crosses the Hudson
at Poughkeepsie 1t is cheering to be told,
on professional authority, that these works
represent a passing and now past phase
even Of engineering that in that view they
are not sound. and not even cheap, except
ing only in first cost. The later crossings
of Niagara, the "spandrill braced ARCH of
$50 feet span which carries a railroad, and
the hinged arch of the record span of $40
feet, which carries a highway, are neither
OF them unsuitable even to their unique sit
uaton. The latter especially, confronting
the cataract almost directly as 1t does, is
subjected to the fiercest kind of critical
light. 1t Is the highest possible praise that
can be given to it as a work of art, but 1t
is only just praise, TO say that it bears that
enyisa gement, and that so long as the work
of mans hands must be seen in connection
with the miracle of nature no work Of
mans hands could jar less upon the spirit OF
the scene.

Slaughter Of Baby Seals

From the Technical World Magazine.
Never shall man who has once watch
ed the slaughter OF a fur seal hero forget
the grisly sight. From the DECK OF the
blunt-nosed sealing steamer you can count
thousands upon thousands of seal families
stretched out on the glistening ice foes, the
dark, mottled bodies of the adults standing
out in high relief against the blue.white-
ness of their floating homes, while the
snew-white fur of the baby seals blends al
most impereeptibly into the background
Out from the ship hurrying over the Ice,
rush nearly 200 men of the crew, each arm
ed with an iron-tipped club. From near
and far go up the agonied cries of the ter
rlffed seals. Flopping along over the Ice,
the adults rush frantically for the water,
doing their best to hurry their young with
them.
In most cases their way OF escape is cut
off by the sealers. With a blow of the
iron-bound club the skull OF the seal pup
is crushed. It's blood staining the whiteness
OF the foe. while fits parents are allowed
to get away In safety.

HAD GOOD DIGESTION

A man who hauls down q colossal salary
as editorial writer for a newspaper, but
who IL deharred from the enjoyment Of his
riches because he has frequent attacks of
nervous dyspepsia, was passing by hack
stand the other noon hour when his atten-
ton was attracted by knot OF the black
Jehus assembled around an eating cart.
One of the black hackmen was RECALLING
himself with a huge sandwich. composed
of two very thick slices of heayy-loodng,
dampish bread. with a darge hunk or SLAB
OF greasy dripping salt pork inserted be-
tween the same.
The nervous dyspeptic tnveluntarify turn
ed pale and felt of the region OF his stom-
ach. But he found 1t impossible TO keep
his gaze Off the black man who Was woiIine
that sandwich. The spectacle fascinated
and at the same time appalled, him.
When the black hackman had finished the
last mouthfui and was smacking his Ups
over 1t the nervous dyspepuc approached
him.
MY man." said the nervous dyspeptic to
the hackman, you'll be dead within exact
ly thirty minutes"
'Suh?' siid the hackman.
II say" repeated the nervous dyspeptic,
you'll be a stiff and stark corpse WITHIN
just exactly half an hour
"Whaffo?" inquired the black hackmah'
something Of alarm creeping over his race
confidently, mo human being could devouT
sandwich such as you have just partaken
of and live more than thirty minutes.
The black haekman's countenance became
one wide, encompassing grin.
EFF All only he'd aaoddah one. sub. An
show yo' all
No sooner said than done.
The nervous dyspeptic furnished the
wherewithal, and the black hackman OBJ
talned from the eating cart an exact du-
plicate of the first sandwich. He absorbed
the same into his system in about six bites,
the nervous dyspeptic watching him like
man in dream.
Then he bought the black hackman two
largo steaming pieces OF hot gingerbread
and three big apples. These the black hack
man projected into his frame In little less
than no time at all, after which he bit on
about a quarter OF pound Of green twist
chewing tobacco, ''nachur' leaf, deposited
the same In the left corner of his cheek,
stretched himself out on the seat of his
hack SO as to catch the rays Of the. wan,
wtntry sun and looked happy.
With a low. mocktns, bitter laugh the
nervous dyspeptie turned on his heel, rode
downtown and got bowl of diluted warm
milk and some graham waters for his
lunch, putting in the remainder of the af-
tepnoon in writing an editorial on the sub

A Quick-Delivery Letter.

From the Era Magazine.
1t is a curious fact that century and a
half ago a letter Travelled much faster than
ever il has done since. 1t was in 1913 that
Lord March made a heavy wager that he
would cause a letter to be conveyed one
hundred miles within an hour. His lord
ship engaged a score of cricketers. all ex-
pert throwers and catchers. had the misslve
inclosed In a ball. and. arranging hts men
at intervals in a circle, got them to throw
the ball as swiftly possible from one 10
another. At the end of the hour it was
found that the letter had Travelled almost
exactly one hundred and twenty miles.
