Cheerfulness is the mother
of joys. With strong, calm
nerves just to be alive is a
delight.
When the nerves are out of
condition life is gloomy
struggle. A tonic should
then be taken that will
strengthen and restore the
nerves.

Occupy Good Positions as Stewards
on COasting Steamers.

on IoastinR Steamers.
Bright young women in Norway find
rational and congenial employment
IN vocation which has not been In
yaded by their sex In this country. The
many steamers that plow the Norwe-
gian f1ords and Scandinavian estuaries
and rivers employ young women to
see to the commisarat and to arrange
for the personal comfort of travellers
on board. Their official designation
Is that of auxiliary ships officer"
That their occupation Is a pleasant one
is proved by the numerous applications
at steamboat offices from young Dan
ish, Swedish and Norwegian ladies
anxious to secure such positions. This
life on the inland lakes and rivers,
is stated in fact to be immensely popu.
lar with the strong and energetic girls
Of Northern Europe. That the duties
involved necessitate a girls having
a head on her shoulders goes without
saying, and many Of the applicants are
daughters of either naval or profes
sional men, such as lawyers and
doctors.
1t is the duty OF the Auxiliary ships
officer" to ascertain from the purser
Of the ship how many passengers are
booked on the outgoing voyage and to
lay in her provisions accordingly, with
an eye to ample supplies, at the same
time avoiding any risk in the matter
Of waste. She is further responsible
for the tastefully laid table and for
such additional house-llnen as may be
required in the cabins during the voy-,
age. Plate, china and even kitcfen|
utensils are generally her own prop
erty, SO that she must necessarily pos
sess business ability in her selection
and care. Payments are arranged at
SO much per head and the lady steward
nets the profits over and above the act
ual expenses, and beyond this may de-
pend upon complimentary contributions
from the traveller. which being a Gus
tomary thing, may be offered and &C.
cepted without offense.
Such an occupation with its self
respecting independence and its breezy.
open-air surroundings, is healthful and
eXhileratng, while the constant stream
of passengers and tourists, both old and
new, tends to the formation Of pleasant
acquaintances, at all seasons Of travel.
Another post filled by women on
board the Norwegian mail steamers Is
that of postal official" Two of these
young ladies always travel together,
their sole duty consisting in carrying
the mail bags to and from the points
of embarkation and arrival. During
the voyage, the time Of these girls is
practically their own, and they gener-
ally may be seen employing 1t in pro-
ducing those much admired "Hosfilds
foernings'-the beautiful Norwegian
embroideries to be met with in such
rich profusion throughout the Scandin-
avian lands. These post ladies'" how
ever, never allow their elaborate needle.

seeming to dismiss the request as pre-

calmly, but his manner changed, and

ering about the board, were coal miners
on their way to the shafts. Here and
there were electricians. The vastness
OF the power station from which they
mad come, was no more than suggested
from where the crowd stood, the build
1ngs being partially hid in a grove of
trees.
The groups of miners and electric
lans were almost silent. They seemed
to have exhausted comment and sur
mise, and TO be waiting for the tangible
to take place of conjecture.
On the Verge of War.
In Washington the federal news edi-
tor apparently had worn out himself
and his staff in keeping up detailed
account OF the all-night session of Con-
gress. AS daylight came, the service
wabbled, and what had been a con-
nected, well-sustained story of congress
sional proceedings had slumped to a
series of jerky bulletins Of which the
last had come half-hour before, read
ing:
Williams still has the floor. He is
making no headway against the major

this carried no news which they had
no known before they had gone away,
a few hours earlier, to get such sleep
and rest as they could.
While they stood watching, another
bulletin came:
Congress has taken an hours re-
cess for breakfast. No action"
The coal miners in the crowd read
this, and then started for work. Soon
there were left only a few scattered

Mail by Airshlp.
A speck developed in the eastern sky
and drew nearer, enlarging rapidly.
Then the Washington mail came into
sight, and landed at the areoplane sta
tion near the entrance to the power
station. A mail clerk came down the
elevator after the sacks had been
thrown into the chute. He was ques-
toned eagerly by the men still stand
ing about the bulletin board, but had
nothing of news later than that which
the bulletins had given them.
Az he stood talking, another message
was flashed on the board:
WILLIAMS says that opposition TO
the majority will cease. War VIII De
declared before night"
At that the hockheaded youth arose
suddenly from the curbstone, walked
rapidly through the gates and on into
the grounds Of the power station.

he broke into a run heading for the

he reached the lift just as it was max

Trouble appears to have arisen over the
fact that the copyists hired in Albany

number of men were sent from New York
under engagement to be paid So cents.
Several of these latter men said today
that the representative of the company
had assured them that they could make
81 or So a day, whereas they found the
conditions such that they could not even
make dollar. A uniform rate of 81 was
finally conceded by the company and a
