SERVANT PROBLEM IN CUBA.
Cook Is In Sole Charge of the Domes-
 tic Cuisine

Cook Ie in Sole Charge of the pomes-
 tic Cuisine.
 The Cuban matron has little to say in the management of her own house hold. as the family literally board with their cook, who has sole control of the cuisine. When a cook is en- gagged she is paid so much per month -s10. s15 or s20, as the case may be- for her work. She at once inquires how much is allowed for the market ing, which she is to do each morning. On being told, she figures out how much she can save from the amount. and if the graft amount to say 15 or 20 cents per day. she is likely to accept the position. She rarely sleeps at the house, and usually has family of her own who are fed from the larder of her employer. Early breakfast is light-fruit. rolls and cofee-and at noon there is a meal known as late breakfast, which resembles the Ameri- can luncheon. When this is finished the cook spends a few hours at her home and returns at i've o'clock in time to prepare dinner. A half-grown girl is employed to walt on the table. answer the door bell. etc. In some families male cooks are employed. If the meals do not suit the master of the house he adds more money to the marketing allovance.-Mrs. c. R. NH Ter. in Lesiie's Weekly.

BACK TO FRANKLIN THEORY.
Modern Scientists May Be Forced to RehabIiltate 1t.

More than a hundred years have elapsed since Benjamin Franklin, efa- ploying phraseology now superseded, put forth theory of matter, says a writer in Current Literature. It was pronounced "a delusion" by the physi- cists of the thirteenth century, but the scientists of the twentieth century. ac- cording to Sir Oliver Lodge, may be forced to rehabilitate it as the only means of issue from the labyrinth in which all physical study is now involv- ed. Stripped of technical verbiage and put briefly, the Franklin theory Is that electricity and matter in combination form neutral substance, which is the atom of matter as we know 1t The most interesting part of, the problem for ourselves, says Sir Oliver. is the explanation of matter in terms of cleo tricity. the view that electricity, as Franklin seems to have supposed, the fundamental substance" What we men of to-day have been accustomed to regard as an indivisible atom of matter Is thus built up out of cleo tricity. All atoms-atoms of all sorts of substances" built up of the same thing. In our day. to put 1t more clearly, the theoretical and proximate achievement of what philosophers from Franklin's day to ours have al- ways sought-a unification of matter
 lis offering itself to physical inquiry.

MAk|NG FARMERS
FIRST STATE TO START COUNTY
 AGRICULTURAL SCHOOLS.
Movement for Improvement of Rural School System by Which Special Needs of Farming communl.
 ties Will Be Served.

Every state in the union has it's ag- ! ricultural college where the student of agriculture may fit himself for scien- tific farming, but little has been done in providing elemental studies in agri- culture for rural schools. The subject has been discussed much of recent years, and there is no doubt that in the near future provision will be made in most rural districts for instruction in agricultural topics along practical lines which will specially interest and pre- pare the boys and girls fer the busi- ness of farming.
 Wisconsin is the first state to crys- tallize this thought of elementary az ricultural instruction by the establish ment of the first county schools of ag- riculture and domestic economy in America. The legislature as far back as 1900 appointed Hon. D, L. Harvey, then acting as state superintendent of public instruction, commissioner to Investigate the conditions of the rural school systems of other states and for
 
 eign countries and to report to the leg islature of 1901 the needs of the rural schools of Wisconsin. Upon the rec ommendation of the commissioner, two of these schools were authorized by the legislature of 1901, and that of Marathon county was the first to open, on Oct. 6. 1902. The citizens of Mara than county have heretofore been largely engaged in the lumber indus try, but they are now turning their at. tention mainly to agriculture.
 The courses taught in the schools are as follows: First year for boys The soil, manual training, carpentry, English, business arithmetic fertil- izers, library reading. plant life, veg etables. flower and fruit gardening, poultry. Second year for boys-Plant life. manual training. blacksmithing, United States history, economies, H. brary reading. animal husbandry, rural architecture, civil government, vegeta. ble, flower and fruit gardening, and economies of agriculture. First year for girls-Cooking. sewing, domestic hygiene, English. business arithmetic, home economy, library reading, veg. etable, flower and fruit gardening. Second year for girls-Cooking, sew. ing, laundry, United States history. If.

Several other matters of im- portance were discussed, among them being the advisability of closing the whole or portion of the day on which the c T. A U. field day is to be held. It was the general sentiment among the members that 1t would not be ad- visable to close at any time during that day. The house bill pending be- fore the legislature at Hartford rela- tive to the mode of equipping ele- vators was also discussed. As no passage elevators are in use ill the 1 borough it was decided that no ac- ton was necessary. It was voted | that an invitation be extended to | every member of the association to be present at the monthly meetings | of the governing body. The dis cussion as to the advisability of re- Questing certain members of the as- sociation to close their places of | business in conformity with a volun- tary agreement outside of the asso- ciation. met with some disapprovaI, the majority of the members think ing it unwise to interfere at this lime with the voluntary arrangements lmong the several members.
