Inability to Get Servants.
"a Ch,caoo RECORD Rernld.

From the Chicago Record -Rerald.
New York's commissioner OF licenses.
In his annual report, says that 100000
more servants can find work in that city.
What is true OF New York is true or
Chicago, and in less measure, but with
striking similarity, OF English cities
The truth is that this is an Industrial age
in which certain feudalistic institutions.
such as the old-time relation between
mistress and maid Of all work. are be-
coming impossible.
Mr. Robinson says that girls dislike
household service because they wish Sun
DAYS off, and Sunday Is the day when
a servant must work hardest; because
servants can have few or no callers;
because there are no fixed hours of EN-
ployment, and because household work
means solitude All these complaints
have been voiced many times by many
representatives of the household workers
and social investigators, but they gain
strength by refteration.
Are we approaching the servantless
age? II seems probable. though the
change will be slow. Specialization and
co-operation will make possible the doing
of most OF the work that the household
servant does outside the home. or by
labor at a fixed rate OF remuneration per
hour. In the end the change will be
beneficial to everybody, but the tram
sition period will be full OF difficulties. ne
may well prepare for il by recognizing
that the wise citizen Is the one who sees
signs OF the times and acts In accordance
with them.

Shelter Stacks.

From Harper's Weekly.
1t is generally supposed that the stacks
of shelters are built to a great height in
order to get rid of the smoke. That is
partially the reason, but it is principally
because the higher the stack the greater
the saving in metals to the smelling COM
pany The action of the blast-furnaces
carries fine dust containing minute par
ticles of gold or silver out with the fumes.
This is first precipitated in what is called
dust-chamber. room several hundred
feet in length and many times wider than
the vent from the furnace. Much of the
dust settles there. Then the fumes from
the molten metal enter the stack BY
that time their temperature is greatly
reduced. The higher the stack the cooler
the dust will become, and the wider II
is the slower, relatively. 1t will move as
1t approaches the top. After it cools 1t
loses a measure of its buoyancy and set
ties down to the base OF the stack. The
dust is gathered up by mechanical
scrapers in the fiue chambers, is damp
ened, and pressed into little disks like
biscuits When these dry they are thrown
back into the blast-furnaces again.

AMERICAN STUDENTS

of the Associated Press.


MADRID, June {, 1912.
The number of American and other for
eign artists and art students who come to
Madrid to study the magnificent collection
of VelaSquez pictures in the Prado Mu-
scum continues to increase every year
The museum authorities give every assist
ance to artists who desire to copy the
masterpieces of Spanish art, Of which This
gallery contains an unrivaled collection.
Madrid possesses many advantages for
the art student, material ones quite as
much as artistic. For one thing, living is
inexpensive. excellent board being OBJ
tainable for less than a dollar a day
Numbers of American artists, after a
preliminary course of study at Paris now
make a practice of spending from three
months to year working in the Prado
Sarjent found SO much to be learned in
that gallery that he remained over two
years. and his studies there have left a
permanent influence on his style.
1t has often been wondered why some
thing has not been done to develop Madrid
ASIA center of art education. One or two
European masters have gone SO far as to
consider the feasibility of opening a
school here, but always they have been
stopped short by an insuperable obstacle,
the practical impossibility of obtaining
models. Man models, it is true. can be
found. but the dignity and pride of all
Spanish women prevent them from posing

rolla, requiring female figures in one OF
his pictures, was obliged to call upon

A Fine Art.
our ancestors used to make quite a
study of how to win fair ones af-
fections. and with them it became
! fine art.
/ But with all their gallantry, their
stilted phrases, their longwinded and
verbose love making, they succeeded no
! better than the man of today who de-
clares his love in six words over the
| telephone.
Love requires no special scenery. 1t
needs no coaxing or attentions of the
kind you are giving. 1t is not a mat
ter of will
Remember that, my dear young man,
| and if your present methods of siege
have failed, try riding away to a newer
field That has often succeeded where
faithful devotion has failed. She is
sure Of you now. With the first feel

ton of what losing you will mean.
She thinks life would not be pleas

without you for a time
If you have been kind and consider
ate and devoted. she will miss all this,
and will signal for you to return.

man until they are about to lose him.
