Managing When the Servant Leaves.

From Harper's Bazaar.
Experience has taught me that the sys-
tematic assistance of the children is abso-
lutely indispensable in coping successfully
with the added burden consequent in
large household upon the temporary alb
sence of a servant.
The usual household routine Is changed.
First, there is a somewhat earlier rising
hour for every member Of the family. The
breakfast table is set the night before, and
if possible the sitting room is Strengthened
before retiring.
Upon one of the older children devolves
the dressing of the young child not able to
dress itself and the sweeping of front
porch or steps. Each child must air its
own bed and all can unite In clearing the
breakfast table, even washing and drying
dishes, If time permits, before school.
Naturally, cooking, bedmaking and sweep
ing must be done by the mother, but chill
dren can be taught to set the table prop
erly, and also wait upon the table in an
orderly manner. The number of things
that the young members of the family can
do to help at such times when their help
is so much needed is many times greater
than one would think possible. The ability
to see quickly what is needed, the habit Of
thoughtful care of the mother, are most
valuable lessons for children to learn. /
feel they learn such lessons best when the
servant leaves, and they are called on to
perform in a cheerful, willing spirit and in
a systematic manner their share of work.
In smaller households the absence of a
servant does not entail so much hardship
but in large families it is serious matter.

REFORM IN CHINA.
The Present Dynasty is Inclined to
Stand for It's Privileges.

From Shanghai Correspondence, London Times.
So hopeless is the task of attaching to
any Individual or group direct response
biiity for the actions of the Chinese gov
eminent as at present constituted that If,
as the result of the struggle between the
progressives and the reactionaries, diff
cuties were to arise with the powers, it
may safely be assumed that young China
and its forward policy would be put for
ward by the court party as the cause of
the trouble. and the usual aim of oriental
diplomacy-to set one dangerous element
against another-would then be attained
This can the more readily be done be-
cause the wai-wu-pu's conduct of foreign
affairs has Of late been centered in the
hands of Tang Shao-yi, the leader of the
cantonese progreSsives; and, although
1t is common knowledge that his policy
has generally been blocked by the con-
servatives of the board of commerce and
grand council. the machinery which works
between the wai-wu-pu and the throne is
SO ingeniously contrived and hidden that
the individuals actually responsible for OBJ
struction run but small risk of detection.
If the British government desires to as
sist the reform party toward that genuine
Improvement of the administrative system
which even the edicts declare to be urgently
needed, the first step should be insstence
upon honest fulfllment of that article of
tne Feklns protocoi Wnlcn StlpulateS Tor
the reorganization of the wai-wu-pu. The
department intrusted with the conduct of
foreign affairs should consist of men fitted
for their posts, relieved from all other
duties. and invested with authority suffi-
Gent for the performance of their work
without interference of the provincial
gentry or the metropolitan boards. We
have had the incontestable right to insist
on this reform since 1901; without 1t no
permanent improvement can be expected
in the relations between China and the
powers.
The empress dowager in the first edict on
constitutional government admitted to the
world that las the result of its Anticipated
system China was always in trouble;" but
the general impression created by the
edicts of last week is that, on mature re-
Election. the manchu prefers to brave the
denunciations of students and press rather
than to forego any of the privileges which
that Anticipated system confers.

Hypnotic Effects of Wilderness.

From the outing Magazine.
The wilderness gripped us closer and
closer as the days went by. Remembrance
of the outside world were becoming like
dreamland fancies-something hazy. indef-
mite and unreal. We could hardly bring
ourselves to believe that we had really met
the Indians. 1t seemed to us that all our
lives we had been going on and on through
rushing water. or with packs over rocky
portages, and the post we were aiming to
reach appeared no nearer to us than 1t did
the day we left Northwest river-long, long
ago. We seldom spoke. Sometimes ii
whole day not dozen words would be ex-
changed. II we did talk at all 1t was at
night, over soothing pipes. after the bit OF
pemmican We allowed ourselves was dis
posed of. and was usually of something to
eat-planning feasts of darngoods. bread
and molasses when We should reach a place
where these Injuries were to be had. 1t
was much like the way children plan what
wonderful things they will do. and what I'M
bounded good things they will indulge in,
when they attain that high pinnacle Of
their ambition-"grown-ups."

RANGE WAR THREATENED.
Trouble Between Sheep and Cattlemen
in Wyoming.

SHERIDAN. Wyo, March 9.-Northern
Wyoming is again threatened with range
war between the cattle and sheep men.
Closely following the attack on the
Wisner camp last week, in which 400 sheep
were killed and the camp burned, comes
the report Of greater outrage in Owl
Creek county.
The Hugh Dickey sheep camp was at
tackled by a band of twelve masked men,
supposed to be in the employ of the cattle
men. The raiders drove off the sheep
herders with threats of shooting, fred the
camp outfit and then began shooting sheep
Out Of a total Of 5000 sheep in the band,
1000 have disappeared, supposed to have
all been killed.
The cattlemen have marked out q dead
line and the Dickey sheep were one mile
over the dead line.
The war will probably spread to other
camps and further trouble occur.

Financial Progress.
From Harper's Weekly.


certain member of the Pittsburg Stock
Exchange has set his nephew up in bust
ness three times, but the young man
lacks something essential to success in the
line selected for him, and has failed with
each effort.
When he recently appeared before the
uncle with his fourth request the latter
said:
You must learn to lean on yourself I
can't carry you all my life. I'll tell you
what I'll do. You owe me a great deal as
the result of your last failure. Pitch in on
your own hook and go it alone till you pay
off those debts. When you've done that
I'll give you check for what they amount
to. Such an experience will do you more
good than all the money l could give you
now"
Two months later the nephew walked in
with every claim receipted in full, and the
uncle, delighted, gave the promised check.
How did you manage IT, Howard?' he
asked after an expression of congratula-
ton.
I borrowed the money" replied How

American and English Advertising.
From the Feftnghtly Review. g.

From the Fortnightly Review.
The Englishman Is too ready to look
upon advertising as a mere adjunct to his
business, and therefore to treat it with
scant attention; the American realizes that
1t is an essential, either making himself Il
master of it's arts or employing the best
expert advice that he can buy. The Eng
lishman believes that he can obtain the
service of a first-class advertising man for
the salary of chief clerk: the American
will pay price which would be startling
If offered to the manager Of a business In
this country. The Englishman Is slip
shod; the American spends time. thought
and money over every detail. The Eng
lishman aims at what he thinks will prove
good enough; the American is not content
with anything that he believes can be
bettered. The American leaves no stone
unturned in order to spend his advertising
allotment to the best advantage; he means
to make every cent tell. The Englishman
too frequently works at haphazard, many
pounds Of his expenditures failing to tell,
the blame being laid by him on advertis-
ing instead Of on the advertisements. The.
American is ever seeking to discover new.
ways of applying old means, new methods
OF making his advertisements moe at
tractive and more compelling.

Stop Building to Burn.
From the Milwaukee Wisconsin.

There has been loud complaint in Europe
of late concerning the ambition of the
American millionaire to gather up every
heirloom of European art or history and
carry it off to the United States. The Earl
of Rosebery spoke in this vein not long ago
when appealing to Scotchmen for contri-
buttons to restore the disintegrating Brig
of Ayr" He intimated that if they did not
come forward promptly some rich Amer
lean might step IN, buy the bridge invested
with immortal interest by the genius of
up as an ornament on the grounds of his
private residence.
If Americans of vast means insist upon
accommodating the art treasures of the world
they become ethically responsible for their
safe custody. In the Wanamaker fire
Christ Before Plate was saved, but how
many priceless objects have persisted! L ne
Americans must stop building to burn.

London's Old Cabmen.
rom the London Chronicle.

What is the secret of the longevity Of
London cabmen? One of them surprised the
Westminster magistrate by declaring that
he had been picking up fares for the past
half-century in the metropolitan streets. A
dip into an official return showed that there
are .2O4 London cabmen between the ages
of sixty and seventy; 249 between the ages
of seventy and eighty; while seven return
their age between eighty an ninety! One
almost suspects these seven old patriarchs
OF having carried sedan chairs in the pre-
growler days. At all events they are liv-

Government by Dinner.
'ittsburg, Gazette Times.

From the Pittsburg Gazette-Tfmes.
Has 1t come to this in the United States
that government by dinner is to take the
place of the Constitution and the law? It
looks that way. Men of mighty legal at
tainments and of swollen fortune do not
so much fear the written law as they
tremble at the spoken word around some
banquet board. Constitutional authorities,
In the Senate and out of it, have not yet
ceased to marvel at the advanced position
taken by Secretary Of State Root some
weeks ago over the truff1es and things in
New York, when he warned his hearers
that if the states did not do their full
duty in solving current social and business
problems the federal government would be
compelled to extend it's authority to lengths
hitherto untried
This week, particularly in Wall street
and adjacent thereto, we have witnessed
another civic tremblor brought on not by
congressional action, court decision or ex-
ecutive order, but by two incidents at the
Gridiron Clubs dinner in Washington Sat-
urday night.

prominent western railroad official, in
commenting upon these phases of the situa-
ton, said that without question the Union
Pacific and Southern Pacific are competi
tors, the same the Atchison and Union
Pacific are. So far as he has learned the
interests now in control Of the Hartman
lines have not formulated definite plan
for holding the various securities men
toned above in the event of the expected
action by the federal authorities. 1t is I'M
derstood that the federal department of
justice Is very positive in its belief that
the various steps already outlined should
be taken by it. Railroad men who were
seen this morning seem to be confident that,
through some medium yet to be devised, it
will be possible for the Union Pacific inter-
ests to maintain control of the Southern
Pacific, their present holdings of Atchison,
the Alton and the San Pedro roads.
Railroad men familiar with the situation
have watched with considerable interest the
severe declines in Chicago and Alton COM
mon stock 1t seems to be accepted as
fact that the working resources of this
company have been reduced to minimum
and that consequently something in the
way of a friendly organization is not I'M
likely. 1t will be recalled that, in his tes-
timony before the interstate commerce
commission, MI hartman lntlmated tnat
the Rock Island was carrying the burden
of the Chicago and Alton proposition. To
considerable extent it's interest in the

is being received over $14OOO,OO0 Of

ing fixed charge have been issued.
railroad man. in discussing the Alton situa-
ton, said that he could not understand the
absolute lack of support of Alton common
in the market. He pointed out that, as the
Rock Island and the Union Pacific hold
practically all of the stock, it will be pos
sble, If desirable. to maintain almost any
quotation for the security. 1t is believed
by not few western railroad men that
Mr.. Hartman would be glad to regain alb
solute control Of the Alton, and that the
Rock Island interests would be equally glad
to dispose of the stock now in the treasury
of the Rock Island.

1t is learned in well-informed railroad
circles that the interests now In control of
the Hartman system of railroads not only
expect that action will be brought by the
federal government to compel the Union
Pacific to give up its holdings of Southern
Pacific, but also fer an abrogation of the
agreement entered into between Mr.. Har-
riman and Senator Clark with respect to
the Union Pacific and San Pedro, Los An
geles and Salt Lake railway. The Union
Pacific through the Oregon Short Line,
now owns half interest in the San Pedro
road. 1t is also understood that the in
terstate commerce commission will in all
probability recommend the abrogation of
the agreement under which the Chicago
and Alton is controlled and operated alter
.nately by the Union Pacific and the Rock
Island 1t is believed also that the ruling
of the interstate commerce commission, on
the basis of the testimony given at the re-
cent hearing in this city, will include the
