HoUsEkEEPERs FORM UNION.
viii Resist Exorbitant Demands Of
Servant Girls and Fix Wage Scale.

New York.-To resist what they re-
gard as the exorbitant demands of
house servants, the women of Norris
town, N. j., are planning to organize
a Housekeepers' Protective union, and
a meeting for organization will shortly
be held. 1t is proposed that the women
shall each promise not to pay more
than certain price for certain classes
of servants. In this way it is hoped
either to drive out the high-priced
servants or to make them agree to a.
new scale of wages.
THE servant question" one woman
deeply interested said, sis now one
that brings no good to any one ex-
cept the intelligence office and the
undertaken. 1t is emptying our
pockets, breaking up our homes and
making our lives such a burden that
1t is breaking down strong women.
THE servant problem must either
be solved so that people in ordinary
circumstances can employ them or
else we will become people abso-
lutely without home life"
The women say that in 1901 wait
resses received s12 month, while
the same class now demand 500 to
$25. In 1891 1t was said a cook who
would do the laundry work received
$14 and now the cheapest wage a
cook will work for is s25 and she will
not do laundry work.

CITY HAS NO CEMETERY.
MetaIIne. WASH, 20 Years Old, Never
Had Death.

Spokane, Wash.-Twenty-two years
a city and yet no cemetery within a
radius of 40 miles. is the claim ad-
vanced by the residents OF Metaline,
Wash. To make the claim even more
remarkable, the city has been dead for
22 years. although 1t had great mineral
at It's finger tips, awaiting its awaken
ing. But within the last week II has
shown signs Of coming to its own.
Metaline is unique in many RESPECTS.
The absence of cemetery is case
in point. Colville, 40 miles distant, is
said to have the nearest cemetery. 1t
was solemnly told by old-time citizens
that there had been no funeral there
since the city was founded. and that
not one person had died of Illness.
"One must go away In order to die is
the way they put 1t to one. They claim
sickness Is almost unknown there.

this is occasioned by drownings that
have taken place up the river toward

Indications point to a great future
for Metaline. 1t is now wholly depend

Xalue Of Science.

Science for sciences sake, science
as a cult, pleads Prof. Raphael Mel
dola, president of the Chemical So
ciety of Great Britain. Scientific re-
search is worthy of national homage
whether 1t leads 20 Immediately
practical results or not. Any country
which limits its appreciation of re-
search to such branches of science as
are likely to lead to industrial develop
ments is low in the scale of civiliza-
ton. The works of the l%itterateur or
artist appeal directly to the public and
can be appreciated according to their
merits. Not so the labors of the scien-
tihc investigator, His achievements
are measured largely by the unitarian
standard, and certainly cannot be said
to occupy the same position as sister
branches Of culture. Prof. MeldolE
has no desire to give ~countenance to
antagonism between pure and applied
science. Far from this being the case
the rate Of progress is actually meas
urable by the degree Of substitution OF
pure science for empiricism.

MOOSE ATTACKS A HORSE.
And the Horse Retorts in Kind-An
Incident of the Maine Woods.

Three young men from Milltown,
near Calais, went out into the eoun-
try districts recently to pass the day
and left their old horse standing I'M
der the shade of the whispering pines
while they communed with nature
some little distance away, according
to the Kennebec Journal. They were
startled by the neighing and snort
ing OF their stced and upon reach
ing the spot where the animal was
tied they witnessed an exciting en-
counter between a bull moose and the.
horse. The monarch of the forest just
happened along and found the horse
e%ncroaching upon his domain and
very naturally resented the intrusion.
He made a run for the unfortunate
steed and a bow-on collision was al
most a sure thing, when the old
horses fighting blood got up and,
instead of waiting to be rammed like
a fishing boat in a fog, he stood up
on his hind legs and caught the bull
moose a swat fair upon the nose with
both forefeet. Both animals sat down
suddenly to think the matter over, the
moose from the surprise of the shock,
and the horse because he lost his
balance, and it would doubtless have
gone hard with the latter, which was
incumbered with the harness and rig
ging, had not the young men set upon
the forest king with yells just as he
was about to resume the attack upon
his helpless adversary, Any n who
remembers the noise which a Mill.
town man is capable Of making when
out for a good time will pardon
the moose for his sudden and undigni
fed retreat.

WHERE WATER is COSTLY.
Little of the Precious Fluid ls Wasted
in Death Valley.

The nearest water supply of which
Death valley camp could even occa-
sionally avail itself was at Ash Mead
ows, nearly 40 miles away, on the
Twenty-mule trail between Johnny and
Death valley, writes David Brandon in
The World To-Day. Kelly's well, pre-
viously mentioned, provided better wa
ter, but it had to be hauled farther,
much Of the way up a heavy grade,
and the tremendous daily strain on
that oasis by the desert mule skin
ners, freighters, left little to spare.
Water had to be hauled into camp In
barrels, therefore, on six, eight, ten
and twelve-team wagons, and the sup
ply on hand was always woefully mad
equate. At best, water cost ten dol
lars a barrel, generally SIS; often the
price was one dollar for half a gallon.
and by no means in%frequently a glass
full required $50 cents. A body
sn%atcher," as the citizen Of Death val
ley is called, we were told, makes a
basin Of water go far. Part of it fills
the coffee pot; the remainder, face
and hands having been washed in 1t
several times, sufices for the small
laundry necessities and is then given
to the burro to drink.
