Mother and Maid Succeeded in Spoil"

A German nurse-girl declares that
one of her charges, although it was a
baby only eighteen months OLD, had
some settled bad habits. In "Undls-
tinguished Americans" the girl. VINO
says hat she had great influence over
children, describes her efforts to re-
! form the young culprit.
".It won't go in the carriage, salu
the maid to me when l first tool

ut will with me- said 1.
cit sleeps all Gay and cries all
night said the maid.
Its been spoiled by having its W
way. that's the trouble said l.
80 l put it in the carriage and TOOK
it out to Central Park, in a shady
place down by the lake. The DaDy
threw everything out of its carriage,
even it's coverlets and pillows, and
tried to fall cut itself, but it was tied
in. 1t cried until it exhausted itself
inventing new ways of screaming. 1t
wanted me to carry it all the way IN
my arms, which | was determined not
to do.
."The first day that l had it in charge
the baby did not get any sleep, ana
therefore it vas good and tired when
its proper bedtime came. The maid
told me that it would not so to sleep
without being rocked. l put it to bed
and it did not wait for any rocking.
1t was so tired that it went right off
to sleep.
1.-The mistress came in and said that
l was a clever, good girl, and she was
sure that l would get along finely with
the baby that all it needed was some
one who understood II sympathiZed
with it,
Next day l carried the baby out
to the park again. 1t was in a dread
full temper, and when it was being
dressed it beat the maid. 1t used to
slap its mother and the maid in the
face, but it never treated me in that
manner. l would not allow it. L
would hold up my finger and say,
'Ba-a-a-byv and it understood and
would stop. 1t saw something in my
eye that made it keep quiet.
81 should have made a good baby
of it had it not been for the mother
and the maid. When 1 wasn't on hand
they spoiled it by giving it its W way.
This made discipline impossible, and
in the end the baby was too much for
me. 1 was compelled to carry it about,
to get up and walk with it in the
night; and at last my health broke
down and I actually had to go to the
hospital"

IONS are already beginning TO broaden
our views or our own institutions and
we arc occasionally subjected to
scarchlngs of heart which are no doubt
good for our souls.
Amid the varied shocks which our
national sclf-sntisfactlon Is bound to
receive In the process OF our gradua-
tlon from insularity to world power,
there IL one preparation which may
come as II surprise, even to well-edu-
Gated Americans, although Its cause
has long been n matter OF painful con-
sciousncss to individuals, especially TO
Americans who have Travelled abroad.
We are slowly learning that we are the
most untidy among all the great ma
tions OF the world. We are gradually
awakening to the huniIiating embar.
rnssment OF one who, entering Il com
pnny of his fellow men, discovers that
he alone among them Is shabby and
unkempt and that he has entirely fail

than in any other country of the first
or even second rank Is n humbling but
salutary experience. In what may be
called our public housekeeping. in the
outward appearance and maintenance
OF plnces and works administered by
public or semi-public enterprise. we
rank with Turkey rather than with
England or Germany. Oriental Japan,
tiny Switzerland and slow-going Hol-
land stand far ahead of the United
States in this respect.
Our national sl0venIiness Is seen In
dirty streets and u%nsightly water
fronts; in ill-kept squares, ragged side
walks and nbominable pavements; in
shabby railway stations and embank.
ment walls built up OF rotting sleepers /;
and In n thousand shiftless substitutes

tute the most costly means of trans.

and are n clog upon the general pros
perity OF the regions they traverse.
Tidiness and the efficient maintenance
Of public works cost more In the first
outlay than negligence. but they save
this excess many times over in the
end.
Dirt has been defined as matter out |
of place; disorder ms things out of
place" When both matter and
things are out OF place we nave In
the combination of dirt and disorder |
one of the commonest manifestations
of untidiness. Now, untidiness is the
unfufling concomitnnt or wastefulness
and we are d notorious.y wnsteful peo-
pie. We possess abundance OF energy,
but perhaps little thrift. says a. ID. f..
Hamlin In the Forum. Tidiness, like
thrift, requifcs attention to details; |
wastefulness scorns details. But I'M.
tidiness is also often, and largely. due
to ignorance, and Is thus amenable to |
the corrective influence of education. |

Fosks Make the Match ana Princi.
pals Do Not Meet Till Ceremony.
The marriage customs Of Corea ara
peculiar. Parents and friends arranye
the match, In accordance with their
own interests, and without consulting
the parties most concerned. The we'd.
ding Is accompanied with few formali-
| ties. Early In the morning the best
man arrives to tie the bridegroom's
pigtail in a knot on the top of his head,
and this not only remains forever as
an outward and visible sign of his con
dition, but entities him to be treated
as a man and to enter public life. He
may be a child OF 10. hut he may no
longer play with his friends and he
must choose his associates among old
men-octogenarians even. He has all
civil rights and is expected to behave
accordingly. II he Is unable to afford
the luxury OF wife aud children, he
must continue to extreme old age wear
ing his pigtail down his back, renounc-
Ing all the advantages OF citizenship
and playing with kites and marbles.
Any folly he may commit is excused on
ctNuu "a uOH-use, just as IN tuS case
OF Il naughty baby.
The wedding consists simply OF a
procession, when bride and bridegroom
are conducted by their respective rela-
lives to a dais. There they are set face
to face. Now for the first time they
see zach other. The mutual surprise Is
sometimes very disagreeablc. But it is
the height of bad taste to show any
emotion. The young couple bow with

minutes afterward the bride Is con

tered forever.
Social etiquette demand that the
bridegroom shall return to the COM
pany OF his bachelor friends for a few
days which are passed In festivities
that sometimes degenerate into orgies.
A honeymoon Is unknown. wedding
trips unheard OF. The young wife be-
comes a head servant to her mother-in-
law and no visible change Is introduced
into the husbands daily routine.

MINING SULPHUR BY STEAM.
Unique Methods Used to Get at thu
Great Deposits in Louisiana.

Unique Methods Used to Get at the
Great Deposits in Louisiana.
The prairies Of Louisiana are now
competing with the volcanoes of Italy
in putting crude sulphur on the mar
ket, says a New Orleans correspondent
Of the New York Post, and the Latin
lawmakers are considering ways and
means whereby the product Of Mount
Aetna may be protected in the marts
Of Sicily and the italian mainland,
from those of the Louisiana lowland.
During the last half-year exports of
sulphur from New Orleans have begun
to attract the attention Of the sulphur
consumers of the world, of the freight
agents of the Southern Pacific Railroad
and Of the shipping firms supplying
steam vessels with their cargoes. Dur
ing the winter miles and miles Of cars
of sulphur have come into New Orleans
and shipload after shipload has zone
out to compete with the yellow devii'
from the extinct craters Of Sicily.
One Of the peculiar wonders of the
United States is the remarkable and
apparently i~rexhaustible deposit Of
pure sulphur which exists near the
line of the Southern Pacific, in Cal
casieu parish. at the little village of
Sulphur. Many years ago the exist
ence of sulphur mad been accidentally
demonstrated and investigation reveal
ed the immensely Of the beds beneath
the bare prairies- Attempts at shaft
ing had been defeated by the existence
Of a great stratum of Quicksand above
the sulphur, which was some o feet
below the surface.
After a series OF crude efforts to
shaft, giant iron castings. arranged to
fit into each other in the manner Of
sewer pipes. were landed on the a
in the neighborhood of Avery's island
and rolled across the country some
| forty miles to tie scene of the labor.
| but after much effort and expense the
| plan to sink the iron circles was de-
clared futile.
The sulphur beds of that part of
the prairie, under which the mineral
lies, finally passed n the hands of
Standard Oil people and ever they
uyon the investment. Numerous at
tempts were made to overcome the nat
ural disadvantages without success.
The plans, which were finally success
full. We're unique in modern mining.
The apparatus consists of Il gigantic
battery of boilers, plenty of steam and
a few three or four inch steel shafts
driven or bored through the earth into
the sulphur deposit. Steam was forced

of the shafts or walls into the sulphur

How 1t Feels to Be ON the Esse OF

How 1t Feels to BE On the ESse OF
the Great whirlpool
OF the coast Of Norwa7, between
two islands of the Lofodsn group, IS
the largest whirlpool in .he world. Its
name, Maelstrom, peans "whirlins

The great Maelstrom is no longer

rance or a previous disaster that has
rendered a vessel unmanageable.

sailing vessel, DESTROYS OF seeing tie

that he might venture near enough for
