MODEL MAID GIVES ADVICE
With One Family Twenty Years,
Helena Schwartz DiscIoses the
Secret of Her Efficiency.

Just 20 years ago Helena Schwartz
then two years from Germany, became
maid in the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
B. 3D. Jacobson Of New York.
She has been there ever since.
When a reporter asked Helena what
her employers had done to make her
service SO pleasant she said:
Before leaving for America my
mother called me to her and gave me
some advice, and have tried to keep
it in mind. Remember, when you GO
into service that your mistress clos
est interest is her home, and that it
rests great deal with you to make
it agreeable. Do just as you would
do if it were your own home. Never
give anything away belonging to the
house. Not even the smallest morsel
If any one talks to you about your
mistress. tells the doing in their own
household, do not listen. Never gos-
sip to your mistress either. Be both
deaf and blind to what goes on around
you, and above all things remember
that honesty and truthfulness will
never get you into trouble
Il have kept these rules before me
at all times and II those girls who
wonder why they cannot get along in
their situations would adopt them,
am sure their mistresses would be
quick to appreciate their services"

Cheap Shirts in China,

Chinese and Japanese shirt material
is cheap and attractive, and the low
price of labor enables the native tail.
0rs to place excellent shirts on the
market at most reasonable prices and
to make them to order. To illustrate
the low cost of labor I will give a
specific instance which is interesting
in this connection. A Chinese gentle
man who dresses in foreign style had
a native tailor come to his house and
make shirts for him to order. The man
made at least one shirt day, and re-
ceived 140 cash a day for his work
and his food in addition. AS the food
cost not more than 11O cash, the total
cost day did not exceed $50 cash,
which, at the present rate of exchange,
amounts to less than 10 cents United
States currency. AS the shirts which
this man made are excellent in every
way, there is little inducement for the
Chinese to buy ready made shirts from
abroad. for similar arrangements can
be made in any part of China. the cost

Sian at GETTYSBURG.

July /. 1863, on Cemetery Ridge,
near Gettysburg, Pa, was posted this
sign:

these grounds will be prosecuted with
the utmost rigor of the law"
. For the failure to enforce 1t you
must blame old John Burns, for he
was the constable OF Gettysburg, but
the majesty Of the law was himself
blazing away with a borrowed gun.
And as accessory before the fact
you must indict the man who had the
shoe store, for he, and not Hooker,
Meade or Lee, brought on the battle
of Gettysburg. A detachment of men
