The p~ERuTANTE.

Al great many women object to giv-
Ing their daughters formal debut In
to society, preferring what the young
woman herself calls creeping out"
Economy or marked objections to a
public introduction of a girl upon the
marriage mart" as 1t is SO often
called, are two reasons for this re-
fusal for this formal debut.
Economical reasons are most power
full, for today the trousseau of a de-
butante is scarcely less than that OF
a bride, some times even larger, as the
bride usually selects her wardrobe with
a view to her future position in life,
while the debutante Is expected to
have a gown for each and every oc-
casion which nay arise.
In view OF all this, the principal
reason for a debut is apt to be lost,
and that is that when a girl arrives
at a certain period Of life after her
education is finished, she is consid-
cred cid enough to go about with her
mother, to be included in formal So
cial functions and to assist her mother
In receiving guests in her own horne.
In England, this point is reached when
she Is presented at court, while in
this country, the occasion varies con-
siderably.
Formerly a girl was introduced as
soon as she left school, but his time
Is now usually postponed, whether the
girl goes to college or not. 1t is recog-
nized that the plunge straight from
the school room into a round of So
cial gayety is d~emoralizing an this
course is now considered ill-advised,
so that very often a girl is not
brought OUT formally for one year,
sometimes two, after she leaves school.
Her plunge is more gradual, she may
go to a number of informal entertain
ments with her mother, and by this
Means become accustomed to going
about before she is actually introduced,
but again she may devote herself to
some favorite study, or, better still.
she Is sen to boarding school or sent
abroad for a year.

A SHIP HIT A GIANT NERO.
The Fish Weighed 1000 Pounds ant
Fed a Whole Village.
From the New York Times.

From the New York Times.
Down in southern waters, where
many strange things happen, the
steamship Zulia Of the Red d line,
encountered a huge nero, q southern
food fish which attains a large size.
While the incident was not entered in
the ships log by Captain Bennett, her
commander, the story of the encounter
was duly chronicled by w. A. Hasan,
a passenger, and here 1t Is as he wrote
1t down:
ION June Is the steamship Zulia,
loaded with coffee and lockwood, was
crossing the bar at Toblazo. 1t was
necessary to exercise great caution
and to keep the hand lead going all the
time, as the channel is very narrow
and SO shallow that at times there are
but a few inches Of water under the
bottom. She had passed half way
through when she struck something
and careened to ~starboard. Captain
Bennett stopped the vessel, soundings
acquired a more complete knowledge Of
the English language in a short time
thar he had had a chance to obtain
in some time.
The soundings were found to be
right and in a few minutes the vessel
steamed ahead and the spot was
marked for future investigation. We
dIIlNCu ~ san SdIlOS.
"A Venezuelan sloop was goine
through the channel when her skipper,
Raymond Jesus Gracia, suddenly ex-
claimed: Saint Marie! Likewise Holy
Saint Joseph! What sea monster is
this which rises from the water and
bars our progress?' Then he tackled
ship and viewed 1t from q distance and
found that 1t was a gigantic nero,
whose head had been crushed by the
Zulia. He took the, monster in tow
and soon arrived. at San Carlos. The
nero measured 26 feet in length, IA feet
in circumference and weighed about
1900 pounds.
ION his arrival a temporary market
was established, and the fish sold at
20 cents, Venezuelan money, a slice.
Captain Raymond Jesus Gracia made
$40. Some fdea Of the size Of the fish
can be obtained when II Is said. that
the whole population of San Carlos,
600 all told, dined s~umptuously on nero
that day, which caused Captain Ray
mond. Jesus Gracia to. remark: The
saints be, praised and may the Gringos
whom 1t Is the will of heaven should
all be fools, kill another"
According to Director Spencer of the
aquarium the nero is a food fish allied
to the black grouper and called by the
Spaniards nero de 10 alta. 1t attains
q weight Of 500 pounds and is found in
southern waters, sometimes OF: The
coast OF Florida.

Their Eaxorits Minister.

A very nice and gentle minister accepted
a call 10 a new church in a town where
many OF the members bred horses and
sometimes raced them. A few weeks later
ne was asked TO invite the prayers OF the
congregation for Lucy Grey.
Willingly and gladly he did 50 for three
Sundays. On the fourth, one of the dea-
cons told the minister he need not do 1t
any more.
why asked the good man, with an
anxious look, lis she dead?" 49,.
"Oh. no." said the deacon. "She's won
the steeplechase."

An Awkward DODGE.

Milton D. Purdy of the department OF
justice said in Washington Of a rumor
brought to him for confirmation by a re-
porter:
This rumor springs from Ignorance,
Grass ignorance of the law. 1 am surprised
that you should have credited 1t. =
THE originator Of that tumor Is as
plainly ignorant Of the law as a certain
schoolboy was Of French.
"This boys father said to him one night
at dinner:
well, how are you getting on with
your French, my SOM
very well, thank you, sir the lad re-
piled:
The father beamed with pleasure.
A politely in French for some peas
he said. Ns
There was an awkward pause. Then
but, father said the boy, I don't
want any peas"

A Pertinent Question.

Senator Rayner, of Maryland, is In favor
OF &iquate salaries for school teachers,
and at a reception he told a story about a
teachers meeting in a district where the
salaries were extremely low.
"a rich, portly banker opened the meet

Long live our school ~teachers!

CONDENSATION EOR IN.u-PLrs

Tire already complicated and burdeusome
problem Of domestic service has just been made
more serious than ever before in England by the
operation OF the new workInen's compensation
act which went into force July !. This law
applies not only. indeed, to domestic servants
out also to all persons regularly employed In
any capacity at wages of not more than 81 $50
a year, excepting relatives Of the employer liv-
ing IN his house. 1t provides that in case OF
any injury received in any way while In the
employers service the employe shall receive an
indemnity which may amount to 50 n week for
the rest OF his life and in case Of his death any
dependents whom he may leave shall receive
from the employer q cash indemnity of not less
than 500 and perhaps as much as $500
Thus, If 4 waiter drops a tray OF dishes OIL
his own foot and smashes 500 worth of china
and lanes himself so that he cannot walk for
q month or two tho employer must not only
endure the loss Of the china but must also pay
the servant 50 a week until he is able to walk
again. If Bridget lights the fire with kerosene
with the proverblaI results the employer not
only must put up with the burning Of his house
but also must pay to the defunct Bridgets de-
pendent mother an indemnity of $1,000. If an
office boy. sent out to mail letter, tries play
ing tag with a trolley car and in consequence
gets helpessly crippled for life his employer
must pay him 50 q week as long as he lives. IL
q stranger tTespasses on the place with gun
and mstaking the gardener for rabbit shoots
him full Of buckshot the employer Is respon-
sihle in cold and immediate cash for every
puncture
or course no rational employer would dream
OF running the risk of being thus mulcted, and
so all have turned for security to the insurance
companies. The magnitude Of the business Gre
ated for the companies under the new law was
suggested by the pages of advertisements which
crowded the newspapers. Life, Fire and Ac-
cidents to Servants Insurance" became the
standing heading of advertisements. During the
latter part of June policies were issued by hun
dTeds of thousands. The companies were over
whelmed. Their clerks worked night and day,
with the rush of applications 1t was physically
impossible even to give receipts for application
money paid, and thousands of people had to
! be satisfied with verbal assurances that their
risks would be covered and policies would be
issued to them in due time.
The rates of insurance are not as high as
might have been expected. To cover simply
the legal indemnity for indoor servants the pre-
MUM is 215 shillings-say SO cents-a year,
while a complete policy" for a motor car
driver costs 30 shlings, 81 80 Il year. In
other occupations than domestic service rates
vary For n commercial traveller-for whose
injuries on railroads or elsewhere the employer
is pecuniarlly responsible-the premium Is
/ So u, and in mines and other dangerous occupa.
tons the figures are much higher. One insur-
! ance company cites the case Of an employer
| paying $4,000 In wages who now has TO pay
