Demand for Servants Doubled,

During the last 80 years the de-
mand for servants has doubled, while
the supply has increased only by
half-in the last decade only five per
cent In 1870 there was one to every
twelve; even in the recent crisis,
when the cities were filled with I'M
employed, the demand still outran the
supply. And yet, during the 80 years
past, the number of self supporting
women-that is, the actual labor mar
ket-has more than trebled. Forty
years ago a woman thrown upon her
own resources would tend to select
Homework for living; in fact, one
woman in two did so select. Thirty
years ago only every third woman
entered domestic service. Ten years
ago only one in four raped at the
kitchen door. The other three ap-

are up to the American standard of

From the constables are recruited the

beautify, they are useful, they are

TELLING AGES OF ANIMALS

= Creatures Die.

Some sea creatures and a few land
creatures live so long that It has not
yet been possible for man to deter
mine the age at which it IS natural
for them to die. 1t is stated, for in
stance, that In 1897, in a European
lake, a pike was caught which could
not have been less than 270 years old.
There was a brass ring in tho flsh's
lower jaw, and on the ring an inscrip-
ton showing that the ring vas placed
there in the year 1230-267 years pre-
viously. Again, If the bone plates in
whales mouth, which are said to
increase regularly each year, are an
indication of the creatures age, as is
believed, then 400 years is not an I'M
usual lifetime for a whale. Even the
common ring trout lives from 80 to SO
years.
The natives of India believe that
elephants live to be 300 years old.
One was kept in captivity $50 years,
and the age of the animal at the time
of his capture was not known. Camels
normally die between the ages bf 40
