AROUND THE HOUSE
LATEST IDEA IN EMPLOYMENT
OF DOMESTIC HELP.
Having Servant in fur Half the Day
Does Away with Necessity for
Providing Room Where Space
in Home is Small.

Some housekeepers are now trying |
the plan of employing domestic helr |
for only part of day. without going |
to the expense of having to provide
an extra room for permanent maid
One family engaged a helper for the
four morning hours, from eight to IL
for four dollars a week. During that
time she swept, busted, washed all
the dishes, those left from dinner of
the day before as we'll as the break
fast china; prepared vegetables, made
beds, accomplished a great deal of
ironing. Of course, all this was not
done in one morning. The work for
each day was planned beforehand.
For less than this one would imagine
good service could be had, but when
one considers that space and furni-
ture are saved and no meals given,
this kind of servant is in reality
cheaper than a regular general" In
a small family fiat does not always
furnish enough work for the whole
time c. a maid, and nothing is more
trying for maid and mistress than for
the former to have idle hands in so
small q space. Restlessness and dis
content are sure to arise, while the
hOusekeeper cannot cOnscientiously
enjoy doing a little cooking or nouse-
work on her own account lest she
take away the excuse that keeps her
servant. 1t would be more satisfac-
tory in such a case to dismiss the
general for an hourly worker if it

Much of your china, bric-a-brac, and

ENGLiSHMAN GOT SAMPLE OF
YANKEE HUSTLE.
Probably to the Day of His Death He
Will Marvel How So Much
Was Done in Such a Short
Space of Time.

English people have queer ideas
about what Americans can do. One
of them, however, regards American
hustle as phenomenal, and this is
why:
The Englshman came to this side
to marry an English girl, who. with
her people, had settled near Boston
The young wOman's relatives were not
able to go to New York with her. so
they put her in charge of a middle
aged male friend, who promised to
meet the young man. see the girl safe
ly married, after which the couple
were to return Immediately to Eng
land.
The steamer arrived. and the girl
and the family friend met the young
man. The latter, being a stranger, was
more than willing to leave all details
for the wedding in the hands OF the
American who, after temporarily In
stallng the two at a Broadway hotel.
started out to look for a minister. 1t
was in the early fall, and few of the
better known clergymen were back in
town, so that the friend made several
anyone to tie the knot. Finally, on
his way back to the hotel, he passed
the doors of well-known church and
noticed florists wagon standing in
| the street. Two men were bringing
palms out of the church and placing
| them in the wogan.
Hold ON a minute" said the friend.
Where's your boss?"
One of the men went into the
church and fetched out the florist.
Been having wedding?" queried
the friend, and the florist replied in
the affirmative.
PEARSON here YETI" he continued.
The florist said he was.
Cali off your men a minutes" said
the friend as he disappeared in the
direction of the vestry.
"Time to tie another knot, parson?'
he asked, breaking in on the minister,
who was getting into his clothes.
The minister looked at his watch.
Gust Is minutes before | must go
to catch a train" he announced.
"All right. I'll be back" said his
visitor.
/, His interview with the florist was
Just as brief.
Take ten dollars to leave the
plants and flowers here half hour?'
he asked and almost before the for
list could reply he found himself stand
ing with ten dollar bill in his hand
while the energetic coat tails of the
stranger were flying out behind hin
block away.
1t took eight minutes to get the cou
pie to the church from the hotel, which
luckily was only four blocks away. III
, a little over Is minutes the knot was
tied. Then the Englishman looked
around the church. The big, massive
: pillars were twined round with smilax
with which roses intermingled, Thu
altar was bank of flowers and plnts
and the pews were ribbon festoone,
and flowers twined.
The Englishman was surprised. HI
looked at the decorations and h
looked at the American. Then h
; spoke.
"By George" he said, in awe-stricl
en- tones. "How ever in the world di
you manage to get all this done in tina

HOG OF BRILLIANT COLOR.
West African Animal One Of the Most
Brightly Colored Mammals.

That really beautiful species the
Red River hog of West Africa is now
well represented in the zoo. In COM
mon with other juvenile wild pigs the
Red River hog is striped in the early
part of its life. When about three
months old 1t loses these markings,
and the body has a spotted appear
ance.
The adult is n of the most bril-.
liautly colored mammals in existence
but its bright red hue no doubt a
monizes with its surroundings, the
soil in many parts of West Africa be-
| Ing red. 1t is of an elegant shape and
| with its tufted-tail and long, penciled
ears has considerable pretensions to
beauty.
Though it has not the enormous
tusks found in many of the wild swine
the Red River hog is not devoid OF
lean of defense. It's face is pro-
tected by hard callosities on each side,
lust below the eyes, and there Is a
bony ridge on each side of the upper
law. And that these growths are not
merely ornamental is proved by the
TACT that this animal can hold its own
with the wart hog, a species provided
| with formidable upturned tusks.-

War Record and Popular.

Washington, Feb. 2.-Senator War
ner of Missouri is giving the receptive
candidates for the Hext republican
presidential nomination some very un
easy half hours at the present time. A
small "boomlet," started in his native
state, has assumed the dignity of a
genuine boom here in Washington.
The Missouri delegation, or that part
of it that can be counted in his own
political camp, are with him to a man,
and while Major Warner is saying
nothing concerning the matter, it is
generally believed that he is in as re
ceptive a mood as Vice President
Fairbanks, Speaker Cannon, Senator
Foraker, or William H. Taft.
solid for Favorite Son.
Already his admirers declare that
the Missouri delegation to the nation,
al convention in 1908 will be solid for
him. Senator Warner is a member of
the same school as President Mckin.
ley. He is a poor man, as fortunes
these days CO., and although for many
years he was one of the leaders of the
Kansas City bar, he spent his income
as rapidly as he made 1t.
Has Good War Records.
With an admirable war record, Sen
ator Warner is an ex-commander-in
chief of the Grand Army of the Repub
lie and his popularity is not confined
to his own party. The clamor of the
west that it be recognized in the mat
ter of heading the next republican
ticket may lend added force to Major
Warmers candidacy.

The Great SONG Town.

Philadelphia prints mor than one,
quarter of all the music in the United
States, and the total amount of it is
six times as great as it was is years
ago. But, while Europe shows no such
increase as that, this country's total
output is still less than half hal of
Leipsic, Germany, and less than that
Of several other European cities. In
this city the amoun of instrumental
music printed used to exceed that of
vocal music. This was due, 1t is said.
to the cheapening of pianos in recent
years and the popularity of banjo and
guitar music. Now, however, the
banjo, at least, has lost some of its
popularity, and the gain in vocal music
until 1t is about equal to the instru-
mental in quantity-is attributed to
the current prevalence of musical COM
edles, In vocal music the comic and
the sentimental keep about even. The
gain in religious music has not been so
great as that in other lines.-Philadel-

CAUSE OF CERTAIN DREAMS.
Each Type Has Its Origin In Matters
Purely Physical.

Every dream, like every laugh or
tear. has its cause" said the psychol-
ogist. Every well-known tyre Of
dream has n cause equally well known.
You dream, for instance, that you
are in church, or at the theater, or on
the street, with hardly any clothes
on you, and you nearly die Of shame.
The bed coverings falling off is the
cause of this dream.
You dream that a dog has bitten
you or an enemy has given you q
t a with a knife. Some slight pain
a cramp, a touch of rheumatism-is
behind all such dreams.
"1nnumerable persons dream of fly
Ing. Time and time again they dream
this dream. 1t is because the respira-
ton of sleep, the great, deep, billowy
breaths, rising and falling rhythmic
ally. are so akin to flying that they
bring visions Of 1t to the sleeper's
mind.
"An uncomfortable position in the
bed causes dreams of painful effort, of
unendurably hard work, like mountain
climbing or the lifting of heavy
weights.
Il say nothing of the mental causes
OF dreams, since we all know well
enough that the things we talk or
think about awake are apt to be talked
and thought about that night in

THE APPoRTIoNMENT

session no less than six bills have
been introduced providing for the ap-
portionment of the state, but hone has
been satisfactory to all sections. OF
those introduced, Mr.. Summons ap

the earmarks of constitutionality and
absolute fairness. No section ought
to be heard to complain If the rule
laid down by the constitution of the
state is applied and all sections are
treated exactly alike.
The constitution provides that the
apportionment shall be made on the
basis of the enumeration according
to ratios to be fixed by law. No ratio
can be fair to all sections unless it Is
mathematically correct. MI. Sam

sections of the state. In reaching hi:
