Hochelaga Protestant school caught
fire Tuesday afternoon while filed
with pupils. Many children we're
smothered to death. Twen.y-four
bodies have been recovered. 1t is
feared that twenty more perished,
including a teacher, Miss Maxwell.
II is stated that all the teachers ex.
cept Miss Maxwell saved themselves
as well as the larger pupils. 1t was
due to Miss Maxwell's heroism in
rushing upstairs to save the younger
pupils that she lost her life. There
were $50 children in the school when
the fire started.

No Printers There.

There are no printers in the Ohio
penitentiary. While the printers
were in the penitentiary they issued
a publication, but suddenly it was
discontinued and upon inquiry it was
found there was not printer left in
imprisonment. 1t is said that there
are enough bankers there to start a
clearing house, enough preachers to
form ministerial association, and
brokers to operate stock exchange.
The moral is obvious, even if one
does have to improve on Mark Twain
to point it out. Mark said be good
and you will be lonesome. He
should have said, "Be good and
you'll be printers" But really this
is well for the craft and we note it
with pleasure. As class printers

Servants

SiuCS tuS iIuInlgraAiVn nONetueut
is now assuming definite shape, the
subject is being pretty generally dis
cussed. What effect it will have on
the negro servants cannot be told,
for the reason that it is too early.
The negroes are not taking the thing
seriously, and probably will not do 50
until the immigrants begin to arrive.
To illustrate the difference in
modes of work, the following was
told by gentleman of Macon, Shn
has had opportunities in the West
of seeing white servants and in the
South of seeing negro servants at
work:
81 called on friend while in the
West to dine with him. He had a
Swedish girl as help, and the first
thing / noted was that she was 80 ex.
tremely neat. She brought in the
soup and went about preparing the
second course of the dinner. AS
fast as she removed the soup plstters
she dropped them in pan of hot
water. While we were disposing of
The second on,rse she was washing
and wiping the soup plates, and had
time TO prepare the third course.
Then she placed the plates used in
the second course in the hot water,
and SO on all through the dinner.
After the meal had been eaten we
adjourned TO the sitting room for a
smoke. When We had finished our
cigars we had occasion TO pass
through the house, and there on the
back veranda, engaged in sewing,
was the Swedish servant. BY her
system of clearing the dishes as the
meal progressed she had performed
all her table work, eaten her own
dinner and was now using her own
time in fancy needlework.
"Very different is the method of
work with the negro servant we have
in Macon, and what we have here is
the same all over the South. Not a
dish is cleaned until our meal is
finished and the help has eaten hers,
and it is often the case that the
dishes are not cleaned until time to
Yrppare tho peYt maalO
One gentleman said that at present
the one trouble in the way Of foreign
help is that owing to the few there
comes a loneliness, q home sickness,
that brings about discomfort. To il
lustrate this he said {:
ga Macon lady was complaining
to an Atlanta lady of the trouble she
was having with unsatisfactory negro
help, whereupon the Atlanta lady
said as she had recently secured some
German girls she would lend her
a girl for while. The kind offer
was accepted. But the girl, taken
from her companions, and speaking
little or no English, became lone
some, and of course, discontented.
Then a happy thought struck the
Macon lady. Taking the girl in her
carriage she sought the home of one
of Macon's best German citizens and
explained how she was longing to
hear German spoken and to talk with
people from the dear old Fatherland.
Good-hearted as Germans are, the
family readily received the girl, and
she is happy, because she has friends
and companions of her own kind.
OF course, when the time comes
when there win be plenty of COM
panions there will be no trouble of
this kind"

exceeding smartness Ia too obvious to
need comment, but the long, graceful
lines Of the coat and the full skirt
will be found very becoming to most
figures.
In our other single column picture
we show the latest treatment of the
popular stripes. In this costume the
striped material Is cut In different
ways so as to supply their W trim
ming, as for instance is seer on the
the skirt. Bands Of plain cloth In har'
monizing color and a lace yoke com
plete the design. The hat Is Of white
felt with fancy plume.
AS for the newest things In millinery
we show below two very pretty but in
expensive hats. One of the twain is
made In cinnamon brown satin brim,
soft full crown In chine silk, finished
off with the chou of cinnamon satin
and the new ostrich mount. This is q
hat which can be worn with any cos
tune and can be made in any color
desired, and made In black satin un
derlined with velvet would be vers
striking.
The second hat shown In the illus

ton. It Is made in a dead shade OF
mauve satin underlined in velvet in q
darker color with a charming wreatf
Of two shades in velvet flowers fast

would go well with a rather colorles'

And then she'd steal away.
When her own way she wanted sore,
She'd piquant be. and arch,
But soon as / was on my guard,
Then she would steal a march.

PIN MONEY.
Uncle John Tells Dot Why the Term
Came to Be Used.

Here's your ~pin.money, Dot" said
Uncle John. handing his niece a
bright silver dollar.
Thank You. uncle, | was just wish
ing for some change" said Dot. Uncle
John, when you give me this money
to spend for whatever l please. why do
you always call 1t pin.money?"
Come sit beside me. and I will tell
you the origin Of the term 'pin-money.'
Pins were introduced into England by
Catherine, the first wife of Henry
VIII. They were not, however, like
our pins; but were made OF gold,
silver, ivory and brass. some of them
weighing as much Is eight ounces.
They were worn In the hair and used
on different parts OF the clothing to
fasten folds of the drapery, and were
quite ornamental. The Spanish manu-
~facturers we're permitted to sell their
pins only during the Christians holi.
days, and thus 1t happened that ia
theirs gave their wives and daughters
money with which to buy pins. At first
they were very expensive. Just as our
fine jewelry is now. Then, when they
became more common and much
cheaper, gentlemen continued the prac-
tice OF giving their wives and daugh-
ters and sisters money to buy pins:
in that way the term ~'pin-money'
originated, and II is nov applied to an
allowance made to a lady to buy
small articles she may need or de-
sire"
I'm glad / know" said Dot, when
her uncle ceased talking. 1T is inter
esting to hear about the 'hrst' OF
things"
while l was eating dinner to-day
I thought Of the origin of porter
house steaks I'll tell II to you. A
man by the name Of Martin Morrison
kept a famous old tavern called the
Porter House, in New York city. 1t
was a favorite resort OF ~seafaring men.
One day an old sea captain called for
a steak. Morrison said that he had
no steak, but he would cut him a piece
of the tenderloin which was just pre-.
pared to roast. The old salt assented,
and the steak was so good that not
only was 1t duplicated, but Morrison
and his tavern became famous for the
like. The steak was called after the
| tavern, 'P~orter.house steak and the
proprietor did a great business In this
