Servant Lore.

With so much battling with the SER
want problem there has sprung up a
little code of servant supe .stititions
which many housekeepers observe.
Il always shiver when a new cook
burns hole in her apron" says one
woman, "for it means that she will
not stay with me long. 1 don't like
to have my girls come to me dressed
in black, either, for it is a sign they
won't stay the year out
Questioned as to some of the other
superstitions which influence q
housekeeper in dealing with her SER
wants, she said:
Don't allow your new servant to
come just as the old one is departing;
it's very unlucky.
1T is unlucky for maid to reach
her place of service so long as there
is light enough for her to see to hang
up her wraps.
IF you hire a maid on Friday you
may expect smashed china.
"A girl hired on Monday gives the
best satisfaction.
ut is unlucky to forbid a servant
eating hearty meals the first day she
is with you, for, if not permitted, her
appetite will never be satisfied and
she will eat you out of house and
home.
IF you praise your servant be-
fore breakfast you will have occasion
to scold her before dinner.
IF your new servant has many
scars from burns on her hands it is
a sign she will be a good cook. Look
for them if you are hiring a cook
IF a maid has short, stubby fin
gers it is a sign she is wasteful and
eXtravagant in the extreme.
''DO not hire a maid with hair of
the light curling variety, for it's a
sign she will not be neat in her
work
IF servant calls you lady fire.
quently in conversation beware of
her, for she in probably dishonest

GREAT NOVELIST DEAD.
Francis Marion Crawford Passes
Away at His Home i'm Italy.

Sorrento, April Of. Marion Craw-
ford, the novelist, died here at 1880
o'clock tonight. He was born in 1854.
Mr.. Crawford had been ill for some
time, one of the symptoms of his af-
fictions being fever which tended
greatly to weaken him. Prof. Enrico
di Renzi, director of the American
clinic Of the University of Naples. was
called into consultation at the Villa
Crawford some 10 days ago and found
serious bronchial and pleuretic COM
plications. His illness had its origin
in an attack Of influenza. Death
came peacefully and while almost his
entire family was at his bedside. Har-
we'd, the novelist's eldest son, was the
only member of the family not at the
death bed. He is in the far East.
Until this afternoon the patient re-
tanned consciousness, but apparently
he knew that the end was near and
with calmness he encouraged his fam
lIy 10 pear up and to cease weeping.
The novelist's last words were: IT en-
ter serenely into enternity."
According to the attending physi-
clan Mr.. Crawford collapsed last
night, owing to extreme weakness.
He then was without fever. Sadly he
expressed the presentiment that he
was soon to die, but almost immedia-
tely afterwards, referring to the ap-
preaching Good Friday, he said, IT
die with Christ"
Mr.. Crawford's daughter, at his re-
quest, then read to him Plato's dia-
iogues, the novelist Declaring that
they taught him serenity in death.

CASTRO TO BE DEPORTED.
Will bc Sent Away by First Steamer
for Europe.

Washington, April 9.-The French
government has informed the State
department of its determination 20
put into effect Immediately the deci-
sion announced yesterday from Paris
to expel Former President Castro of
Venezuela from Fort de France, Mar
Unique, and compel him to return to
Europe.
The program is to put him aboard
the first vessel touching at Fort de
France If this programme is carried
out Castro will be on his way to Eu-
rope in a day or two, unless his ply
sical condition is such that an ocean
trip at this time would put his life in
jeopardy. The first steamer schedul-
ed to touch at the Martinique port
Europe-bOund is the French line ship
Versailles, due here tomorrow.
State department officials are much
gratified at the manner in which the
French government has acted in the
anu lScl TellcNeU tndC SdStTO Is
to be sent back to Europe, where he
will have no immediate influence in
the affairs of Venezuela, in which
country his personal following is
believed to be considerable and might
have a tendency to unsettle the peace
able condition of affairs which now
obtains there.
Some of the prominent officers Of
the government are disposed to look
on Castro's reported serious setback
with suspicion, taking the ground that
it may be a clever ruse designed by
him to make it appear that a return
to Europe is necessary to obtain sur
gical aid, when in fact the real pur-
pose is to "save his face" He real-
zes, they say. that conditions for him
on this side of the Atlantic are
aginst him.
