Light on the Servant Problem.
om the Reader for December.


 From the Reader for December.
 q was very proud of my wife, said n gentleman the other day, "when she refused to take an apartment that would have been immensely convenient for both of us, because the servants room was small dark and disagreeable. She sala we would stay where we are, though that means I have farther to go to my business and that the children have little longer walk to school, and the living room is less attractive than in the rejected apartment .
 "Well' said the lady who had made this dsinterested choice, Hannah is good girl, and one with nice instincts. She likes to keep herself dainty, and to busy herself about pleasant things in the afternoon, in her rest time. l sit by while she is reading and resting or sew ing It seems as if the very least could do was to make her comfortable and to surround her with sanitary and pleasant conditions. My own idea is that the two greatest causes of dissatis- faction among the domestics are, first, the long day, and second. the loneliness. Now, my maid gets up at six. She is on duty until 9:3O. That is 15 hours and half. I mitigate this by letting her have a part of each afternoon for rest, and Thursday and Sunday afternoons free. But even with these concessions, and notwithstanding the fact that [ make a point of seeing that she has the magd- zines and the newspapers when we have finished with them, I still feel that her life is too alien, too much apart, too lonely and demanding. I would like to see each apartment building provided with a good amusement hall or living room for the servants-some large, cheer lful general room where they could gather evenings and have music or games. l know some mistresses would object that this mingling of the servants would mean gossiping and all that; but that, I take 1t, is something beyond our right to in terfere with. We also make the mistake of gossiping, but that does not debar us from having further opportunity to do the same thing. Now, this is only ono of the many theories I have on this sub 1ect, but I feel, in saying that house servants have too long day. | hit at the very core of their discontent"a

Midshipmen and Marriage.

From the Army and Navy. Life.
 Three recent applications in one day from midshipmen to the Secretary of ,ie Navy for permission to marry have served to direct the attention of the de- partment to that subject, and to cause the officials to consider the question of announcing a new policy prohibiting such marriages except under very special con ditlons, It so happens, in the cases mem toned above, that either the young mid shipman or his flancee was possessed of sufficient means to insure their worldly comfort, and to enable them to dismiss the problem of<a married couple trying to live on a midshipman's small salary. But the officials who have to deal with this subject believe that there Is more than mere monetary consideration in volved It is the opinion of some of the older officers of the navy that a young

sters usefulness is likely to be consd- erably impaired by very early marriage before he has seen much of the world and come to realize, by practical ex- perience. the peculiar conditions that surround sailors marital relations. It is expecting too much of human nature to suppose that q midshipman can re- ceive cheerfuly and in the proper spirit orders that will take him away from his bride and keep them apart during three years cruise. and hence he Is not likely to be the better officer or to ad- vance more rapidly fin his profession by reason of his marriage One admiral, in giving his views on the subject, re- marked: "Umph--lt is better for a middy to be raising Cain than to be raising family"
 It is understood that even if q formal order does not go forward from the navy department prohibiting the marraige of

put was more than a million a day, and for once a government department was literally going night and day. The process of making money is in teresting. And not the least remark able thing about the coining system is that the government loses money in coining gold, but makes big profit in coining pennies. In a ten dollar gold piece there is exactly $10 worth of gold and 10 per cent of copper, which is used to harden the precious metal. piece of silver money Is about half profit, but the penny pays best of all. The copper disks or blanks for new cents are bought by the carloads from firm which has a contract to supply them at the rate of s73OO a million. That means that the government ob- tains for 3-10 cents the copper blanks which by the process of stamp ing. are transformed into s1 worth of pennies. What becomes of the mil lions of pennies coined each year by the government is an unsolved prob lem. To supply the demand the mint at Philadelphia must keep on turning out new pennies at an average rate of 1000, ,000 a month.
 For gold and silver. coins the gold and silver bricks are cut into long strips just the width of the coins, and from these strips the coin disks are cut by machines with heavy punches. Next the disks are fed into tube, which drops them. one by one between two dies. The dies come together with enormous pressure and stamp the familiar impressions seen on our coins.
 To make the counterfeiting of it's paper money as difficult as possible, the government prints it's gold and sil- yer certificates on peculiar paper. most difficult to initiate. The certificate paper has silk threads running all through it, and can be manufactured only by powerful and expensive ma chinery, quite out of reach of the or dinary counterfeiter.
 Before the paper reaches the bureau of engravers and printing each piece Is guarded just as carefully as though it was already a thousand dollar, bill. The bills are printed very carefully on small presses and then fed into curious lit- tie numbering machines which auto matica1ly stamp on the letter and num- Der of the series.
 The question is often asked: What becomes of all the old, soiled, worn-out and mutilated currency?" The "ones," handled most, are first retired, their average life being about three months. A "nve" lasts almost five times as long. while the "fifties" "one hundreds" and "nve hundreds" look clean and i'm viting after years of service.

that nothing has happened recently to bring Mitchell into the spotlight.
 In any event the retirement of the leader of the miners union Is a matter of importance The miners lose a faithful, diplomatic and forbearing champion; the public loses a man who acted as a barrier between it and the worst element of the miners union the class that many term, and perhaps rightly, vicious.
 For nine years John Mitchell has been president of the mine workers at a salary of 5000 a year. No one doubts that he could have earned more. He has declined the nomination for Con- gress and time and again has refused lucrative offers from private sources. As labor leader he ranked second only to the late P. M. Arthur of the locomotive engineers. Judging him as self made man, Mitchell has scared high, but his achievements did not come without much toll and self denial. Az friend in writing of him recently said:
 "Six years after he was born at Braidwood, Ill.,, his father died and the boy was left in the care of step- mother. From the very beginning he was obliged to work, running errands and looking after his younger half brothers. Such schooling as he could obtain was picked up in a few weeks each year for four or five years at a country school At 13 he became door boy in the mines, and immediate ly began to devote every moment of his spare time to the improvement of his elementary education.
 How wisely he used that spare time will be acknowledged by all who have met him in manhood. Quiet and un- obtrusive in manner, his choice of words Is almost peculiarly precise. On important occasions Gas, for instance, when he testified before the strike commission), he is apt to deliver him. self of self-evident generalities with a remarkable air of impressiveness. Nevertheless. this very note of earn estness in ordinary conversation is In marked contrast to the manner of some of the other labor leaders. Newspaper men who have been brought into con- tact with John Mitchell hava not found him to be given to much bdast- ing or the making of wild statements. If he does not wish to talk he.says so; if he is not quite ready to answer questions he is likely to suggest that he be seen again on the following day. If he talks at all, 1t is not to oblige the reporters, nor for tho sake of hear ing his own voice; but because he be- lieves that he can advance the cause that he represents. Whether he talks for publication or not he is invariably courteous"
