TRAINED IN HOUSEHOLD WORK
herman lnstitutton Teaches olris
Domestic Service, and Finds Great p
Demand for Graduates.

Berlin has an institution, founded
about two years ago by a woman.
The object Of the Sister School," as
1t Is called, is to train we'll educated
girls for domestic service The stu
dents are generally daughters of pro-
fessional men, and the~<curriculum
comprises cookery, Homework, the
care Of children. and needlework.
When application Is made for the ser
vices of a SISTER" the matron, or
some other woman connected with
the school, calls upon the applicant,
forms an opinion of the situation"
and arranges terms. Each sister
must. be allowed a free afternoon
every week, one Sunday every other
week from four O'clock, and fort
nights holiday in the year Six
weeks notice is required on each part.
The salaries paid range from $3.50
to $3.50 a month, with, of course,
board and lodging. Sisters wear a
brown uniform, are treated as social
equals, are not required to take
meals with other servants, and are ad-
dressed as Sister Marie,"' Sister
Hedwig," etc. The demand for their
services is so great that the head OF
the Sister school declares that she
could place 500 girls year, instead of
so, and similar institutions are about
to be established In other German
towns. 80 r. .----..

MAKE. WAREHOUSE OF CHURCH
Sacred Edifice at Brighton. England
Has Been Unfortunate Since
= c..>-s -. ito Erection. :

To serve as cold storage ware
house for meat and eggs-such Is the
fate of the beautiful Church of the
Resurrection at Brighton, England.
Built at the expense of the late Rev.
H. D. Wagner for the accommodation.
1t is said, of the poorer members Of
the congregation, and for those who
preferred a ritual simpler than thatsof
St. Paul's church on West street, this
building first attracted the public at
tention as the subject of a curious law
suit. Mr.. Wagner planned to build a
remarkably tall church, and tho own
ers Of the adjoining property, by
means of a lawsuit, prevented him
from so doing. Accordingly he caused
deep excavations to be made, and
thus secured the desired internal
height. The Church of the Resurrec-
ton proved to be great expense and
was closed in 1908, being, in the opin-
lon of the present vicar Of st. Paurs,
no longer necessary for the purpose for
which it was built. In 1909, after pro-
Ionged opposition on the part of Rev.
e. f.. B. Weber, one OF the trustees,
1t was Sold, Since then it has stood
empty and in disrepair, until the gro
tesque tragedy of it's present usage 90.

Compliments Of tho Season.

Whether or not this story, sent to
the London Telegraph by it's Paris
correspondent, is fact or invention, 1t
has so delightful a flavor of the Orient
that every one will feel that it ought
to be true: O. =. g. - sd
When the sultan of Turkey gave or.
ders for the mobilization of his troops
he sent the king of Bulgaria sack OF
millet with the following letter: ~
Ferdinand Etfendi. Mobilize If you
like, but be assured that there are as
many soldiers In Turkey as there are
grains Of millet in this sack. Now, II
you wish, declare war" A.
Ferdinand's reply was In kind. He
sent much smaller sack, filled with
tiny grains Of the hottest red pepper
of the country. With 1t went the fol
lowing letter: s;$5 Is
Dear Sultan. The Bulgarians are
not numerous, it Is true, but pc as.
sured that to stick your nose into
their affairs is like sticking it into our
national condiment. Try 1t and see
They will sting you SO sharply that
the whole OF Asia will not be able to
Save you. ~ Youths Companion.

RES ToRED INN OF AUERBAc H.
Tavern Who're Goethe Placed One Of
Scenes Il, aust" Has
Been Rsconstructed.

The latest concrete evidence OF III
Serary devotion Sin Germany Is the
thorough reconstruct ion OF the ':Tav-
ern OF Auerbach," whore Goethe plac-
ed one Of the most vivid scenes Of
3" Faust. It sis melancholy to reflect
that nothing more remains Of the old
building. since after complete de-
molition the architects have construct
ed z wholly modern building on the
site, but care has been taken to pre-
serve intact the cellar, which has
been for fully century an object Of
pilgrimage for Germans, who are at
once proud Of their literature and fond
Of recherche drinking.
Painters Of an advanced" school
have been commissio stoned to adorn the
walls Of the various dining rooms with
scenes taken from Goethe's great
drama, while to complete the new at
fractions It is announced that the
staircase leading down to the cellar
will be furnished with two bronze
statues. the subject Of which is UNI
known. The evolution Of the Tavern
of Auerbach'' promises to be the same
as that Of other like sacred places. It
will probably bring in an excellent In
come to the restaurateur. s@-sS5

Wealth la Music.

In view Of its strange influence over
mans heart and life, 1t Is no wonder
that the greatest minds Of all ages
have taxed all language to express
their conception OF the full value OF
music. Our education is too gross and
Unitarian. We have made too much
Df the intellect and too little Of the
feelings. No parent has done his full
duty to his child until during the pre-
cious memory years before sixteen he
has given the child's mind as pre-
cious memory forever the great patri-
ptic hymns Of home and native land,
the folklore hymns OF his race, the
great classic hymns that sing OF mans
need and the pathos OF God g love. the
sublimity OF Immortality and mystery
that lies beyond. For music has full
power Of pathos and subj Unity and can
lit man into the ether Of the upper
world. can wash the dust from the
youfs wings and make It triumphant.

Ozone as q PreservatIve.

An important Improvement in the
technique ofscold storage has recently
been intro 1uced in Germany, viz. the
use of ozone. as a supplement to the
ordinary process of refrigeration. In
the cold storage, rooms attached to
slaughter houses the temperature of
the air is liable to be raised to a seri-
GUS extent when the doors are left
open for any reason; for instance,
when meat is being put in or taken
out. The heterogeneous of putre-
faction immediately become active ,un-
der such circumstances, and the
keeping quality Of the meat is dimin-
ished. Now it is: we'll known that
ozone is powerful germicide II the
air of the. cold-storage rooms is ozon-
lied, its temperature may be. raised
without injury to the contents. This
has been proved by numerous expert
ments, and ozonizing apparatus has
now been installed in the abatoirs
at Cologne, Potsdam, Brandenburg,
Berlin, Frankfurt-on-the Main, Dus-
seldorf, Freiburg (Silesia), Aix-la-
Chapelle and Erfurt; in q cold stor-
age depot at Hamburg, and in vari-
GUS diaries, poultry and game stores
and fish Establishments. T. =. e.....t

High school and was a student in the
University of Goettingen, Germany.
His father was fnancier of promin-
ence and it was not difficult for young
Morgan to get start in the business
world. After his return from Ger
many young Morgan went into his
fathers banking business. AS his ex-
perience in the business grew his
father wisely placed upon his should
ers more and more of the firms re-
sponsibilitieS. He was sent to Lon
don as the firms representative and
there, in the counting room Of Nor
gan & Peabody, he obtained a thor
ough grounding in the exceedingly
complicated subject of foreign ex-
change. When be returned to New
York he again entered his fathers
banking firm.
From 1864 to 1871 he was mem
Der of the firm of Dabney, Morgan &
Co., dealers in investment securities
About 1869 he attracted the attention
of the whole financial and railroad
world by saving and obtaining pos
session Of the Albany & Susquehanna
railroad, which Gould and Fisk had
tried to wreck. This was his first
great success, particularly remark
able owing to the fact that in the
fight he was pitted against the two
and railroad manipulators of the
country and beat them at their own
game. In 1871 he became a member
of the banking firm of Drexel, Nor
gan & Co., which later became J. P
Morgan & Co., the largest private fin
ancial institution in the world.
Remarkable Banking House
The history Of the Morgan banking
house reads almost life a fairy tale,
so wonderful have been it's achieve
ments. In 1871 Mr.. Morgan created
market in Europe for $25, 100000
OF New York Central stock and sold
it there at profit which amazed old
Comodore Vanderbilt. In 1877 he
handled an issue OF $26O,000,000 of
government bonds in preparation for
putting the national currency on a
gold basis In 1880 he provided $40,-
100000 for the extension of the
Northern Pacific railroad to the Paci-
fic coast. In the same year he was in
strumental in the reorganization of
the Reading Railroad and the Balti-
more & Ohio, involving a loan Of

Interested in Art.

He took an active interest in the
Metropolitan Museum of Art, and
possessed one of the most magnificent
private galleries in the world, part OF
which he kept in his London mans

his palace in New York or was stored
in tne magnificent and thoroughly
fireproof library. building which he
had built and which also sheltered
one of the most valuable private col
lections of books, manuscripts, works
of art, etc., to be found anywhere in
the world. A deep student of medi-
aeval history, he collected, without
regard Of cost many priceless objects
of medieval art, missales, Bibles,
clerical ornaments and ornates, en-
broideries, tapestry and masterpieces
of the gold and silversmiths' art. At
one time he bought cope which had
been stolen from an old church in
Italy and when the fact became
known that the cope had not been the
rightful property of it's former pos

1t is impossible to estimate with
any degree of accuracy the size of the
Morgan fortune. 1t has been variously
estimated in recent years at from
SIS, 900 to 100000. If it is
anywhere near the latter figures, it
is equally true that Mr.. Morgan made
as much for others.
In 1861 Mr.. Morgan married Miss
Amelia Sturges, who died the follow
ing year. In 1865 he married
Frances Louise Tracy, by whom he
had one son and three daughters. The
son, J. P. Morgan, Jr., is now a man
of middle life, and for a number of
years has been the active head Of the
Morgan banking house in New York.

To Put Out Oh. Fires.

Two Danish inventors have found
way to put out oil fires by applying
carbon1c acid that is foaming VIC
lently. The foam is produced by q
mixture of two liquids, and it is said
that when 1t is thrown on burning sub
stances, such as oils, benzine and tar
it spreads rapidly over the surface and
puts out the flames by cutting of the
air. Many tanks that contain oil OF
other highly inflammable liquids are
now permanently fitted with perforat.
ed pipes, through which the foam
Ing mixture can be applied directly
to the surface of the burning mate
rial. Hitherto fires in oil tanks have
been allowed to burn themselves out
or the contents have been drawn out
from below and wasted. According
to Chambers Journal many private
and government institutions have
adopted the new system. .
