MANAGING SERVANTS.
The Lessen That One Wonan's EN-
 pericnce Taught Her.

My experience has tau@ht just this. Our servants are not oar equals in point of education Then let the edu- cated mind be high i'll authority. No system can be strong WEpre there is not q good leader Let our servants feel and see that we know just as much about their work as they themselves do. To do this We must look into things carefully, for no woman ig- norant of the ills and ou,s of a house can control her maid. Any mind will always respond to the superiority of knowledge. It is not necessary to pa rade this knowledge. But if Mary | knows that by coming to her mistress she will be helped out of any ditlicul ty she respects that mistress.
 Yet while we are above our servants in the management of eur homes, the mistress aiil maid are equals under the laws Of our land. The mistress who is wise will not pry into the pri vate affairs of her maid. We cannot and do nOt aeilaud all her time \ ten hour day seems to me impracticahle for houseWufh i'll it's nature does not admit of a tell hour day unless we can resolve it into specialjies. That may work well whore there is more than one maid. but to the average American housekeeper it woj.ld mean great dep rivation.
 The real, true, earnest spirit of lead ersllip always counts. There is no hu- [ initiation ia prompt oDedienee. By strength l do not mean q show of boss ism, but Il quiet. just earnest spirit that will impress others Witi, d desire to do good work.-Good housekeeping

 We trod gingerly on the path, but the gravel stuck to our wet soles and grated horribly in a little tiled veranda with a glass door leading within. It was through this glass that Rallies had first seen the light, and he now pro- ceeded to take out pane with the diamond, the pot of treacle and the sheet of brown paper which were sell dom omitted from his impedimenta. Nor did he dispense with my own as- sistance, though he may have accepted it as instinctively as it was proffered. In any case. it was these fingers that helped to spread the treacle on the brown paper and pressed the latter to the glass until the diamond had completed its circuit and the pane fell gently back into our hands.
 Rallies now inserted his hand, turned the key in the lock and by mak- the bolt at the bottom of the door. 1t proved to be the only one, and the door opened. though not very wide.
 "What's that?" said Rallies as some thing crunched beneath his feet on the very threshold.
 "A pair of spectacles," I whispered, picking them up. l was still lingering the broken lenses and the bent rims when Rallies trfpped and almost fell, with a gasping cry that he made no effort to restrain.

 For answer his teeth chattered. even his, and I heard him fumbling with his matches. "No. Bunny; he won't near us.' whispered Rallies presently, and he rose from his knees and lit q gas jet as the match burned down.

A Big Oil Flow Reported at

Hattiesburg, Miss, March ,@sl.-That Eastern Mississippi is underlaid with deposits Of oil and natural gas of un= limited extent. and that this section is Oh the verge of q boom such as brought the Beaumont fields of Texas into sudden notoriety q few years ago is no longer a dream in the minds ot the prospectors and visionaries, but is about to be realized.
 Oil has been found at Barnett, Miss, in such quantities as to justify the capng of the pipes. the stock of the prospecting company has been with drawn from the market, and boomers who have heard of the discoveries arc already flockins into the little town so as to be on the ground floor of the anticipated boom.
 Barnett is on the line of the New Orleans and Northwestern railroad flfty-siX miles north of this city. The developing concern is known as the Barnett Mineral and Oil Nestment company. Ii has been at work for about a year in d quiet way. Several wells have been put down, and the best one has reached a depth of 936 feet. At the head of this company is Mr. Russell of Mobile, viee=pesident of the Mobile and Ohio railway. The secretary and resident manager is Jake Smith, who has come into pos session of extensive lands contienous to that upon which the successful well is situated.
 A few days ago this deep well be. gan to show a flow of oil equal to about three barrels per day, and an expert was sent for at Beaumont Up CT, his arrival he Immediately ordered

HOUSE OR HOME
There Is a Great Deal of Difference
 Between the Two.


 My dear mother how do you do? l beg leave respectfully to ask whether you are q homekeeper or a housekeep- CT.
 The two do not always go together. Many a good housekeeper is q poor, very poor, honekeeper. as is proved by the haste her children manifest about getting out of the house. Many poor housekecpcr is d good home keeper as is proved by the willingness O. the tiedgelings to finger n the nest. The home is more than the house by all the difference between the value of flesh and blood and souls and that of wood and stone and bric=a-brac. Eriaht faces are better than shining stoves or glass or furniture; pure souls than exquisite raiment. Putting first things first goes q long way toward making home "a little heaven on earth.
 When mothers face shines with in tereSt and enthusiasm, when 1t is calm with loves deep purposes, the sim plest home is more beautiful than d palace where love is not. The home that has books and games and music, even if they sometimes adorn @ the floor instead of a closet shelf, home in which father and mother join with the children in home work and study and play and entertaining mates and chums-this is the home in which chil- drea may longest be kept and influ- enced and guided-Mother' Magazine.

NoT'A STICK OF WOOD IN 1T

The death kneH Of the historic old
Long bridge was sounded today when
the new Highway bridge across the
Potomac was officially inspected and
opened to the public.
There was d dearth Of ceremony at
the opening. 4 party, including Com
missioner Macfarland, Congressman Bah
cock, chairman OF the House District
Committee; General Mckenzie and Capt.
Spencer Crosby. representing the War
Department. visited the bridge in the
private car Of the Washington. Alex
andria and Mt. Vernon Railway. and
were shown the working principles of
the hugh draw. They all voted 1t the
most perfect piece OF bridge construction
that they. had ever seen.
The bridge is $50 feet long and sixty
feet wide. There is not stick OF wood
used III The construction. The piers are
OF solid granite. the roadway OF solid
concrete, and the beams of the finest
steel manufactured by the Pennsylva-
mia Steel Company. the contractors for
the bridge. II cost the Government
three hundred thousand more tnan a
cool million, and as yet the approaches
on the Virginia ana the Washington
sides are not complete.
The construction Of the bridge has
consumed tWO years. It was stated this
morning by those who inspected the
structure that il is the finest south of
the great Brooklyn bridge All OF the
traffic that has formerly crossed the
old Long bridge will be transferred
across the new one after the approaches
have been completed. As yet only light
vehicles are allowed to pass over the
Highway bridge. II is equipped with
the most complete and speedy draw of
any bridge in this vicinity

draw is closed again. but 200 seconds

spindle is received from the Washing
ton side, but If a car should have cross
ed the draw and still be on the Virginia
end OF the bridge, it need not stop on
account OF the breaking OF the electric
circuit caused BY the opening of the
draw. a steel cable runs under the
bridge which can be connected with the
cars to avoid this difficulty.
The Washington, Alexandra and Mt
Vernon cars have the sole right of wav
across the bridge and have been using
the new thoroughfare since last Thurs
