are given ratings under various
heads, showing the result of the ex-
animation, and certificate of this
sort counts for immensely more than
the old-tirne reference"
But the really new thing in this
Montciair system is the health GER
tihcate for domestics. As is pointed
out by the board of health, those who
handle food in candy shops, in can
neries, in bakeries and other food
factories, are in most States forced
to submit to frequent health exam
nations. This is only fair to those
who consume the products of their
labors. But the kitchen employee has
heretofore gone scot free. She might
be, like the famous typhoid Mary"
a veritable scourge to the family for
whom she worked. More frequently,
however, the physical limitations will
be of the sort that would render the
worker unfit for the more strenuous
duties of housework, or the physical
examination would reveal limitations
which. if corrected in time, would
add greatly to the workers efficiency.
This new system is of benefit not
only to the employer but even more
to the employee. For anything that
regulates and systematizes a vocation
raises the standard of the workers
and raises the vocation accordingly,
and the only solution of the vexed
problem of domestic work is to raise
it out of the plane of "menial labor"
to the plane of any other specialized
vocation.

FAMOUS WOMAN, HER
BIRTHDAY AND YOURS
November ls-H.arietta Maria.
BY MARY MARSHALL

Henrietta Maria. the wife OF Charles
OF England. was born 3o6 years ago to-
day at the Louvre In Paris. She was the
daughter of Henry w Of France. and
was brought up amidst a court OF great
luxury. The marriage with the English
King was planned when she was a mere
child. II was celebrated by proxy when
she was is. and she met her husband not
long after In London
The first years Of the marriage were
unhappy. Promise had been given by
Charles to Henrietta's father that she
would be surrounded by her French
servants, who used their influence to
keep the young queen from showing any
federation toward the Protestant English
subjects at court. So great was her
stubbornness that she refused to be
crowned by a Protestant bishop. But
Charles sent her companions back to
France.
Although Henrietta Maria was a wom-
an Of unuuestioned virtue. her life was
full OF intrigue and unhappiness- Her
worst fault was her extravaganza. Little
understanding the difficulties which her
lavish expenditure Of money brought to
the King, she continued to make enor-
nous OUTLAWS for her large retinue. cost
ly clothes and priceless Jewels.
Through the civil war that finally led
to the execution of Charles !. Henrietta
Maria showed the greatest loyalty and
devotion. She did everything In her
power to rally men around the standards
of her husband and sold her Jewels In
order to bring him aid. Though she had
been brought up amidst luxury and law
ish ease, she learned the lessons of pow
erty, and In the days following the Kings
execution she and her little daughter.
Henrietta, actually went hungry. and the
poor Queen used to keep the child In bed
in order that she should not feel the
pangs Of cold

his first week, he pitched into his tor
mentors with right good will. He Is
sturdy little fellow and he knocked
about him vigorously, irrespective of the
size Of the boys he assailed. Then he
ran home, still breathless with rage. to
tell mother all about il.
What did the mother do? Well, she has
found the silent hour" an ever-present
help in time of trouble. She took ner
small son by the hand and led him into
her room and told him to sit quite still
in his own little chair until he felt all
quiet inside and then she would tell him
story. In about twenty minutes he
came out. his agitation gone, all eager
for the story. Sitting down with him,
she told him the tale OF Ulysses and the
Cyclops; how the CycIops thrashed
around in blind rage to his own undoing
and how he was finally conquered by
the great hero. Those old Greek myths
are gold mines, by the way, dear moth
ers, for lessons in human nature!
In the course of their talk she found
opportunity to impress upon the mind of
the small boy the great gain in all ways
from controlling ones temper. This les
son she strives to repeat in a variety of
ways whenever a fit of temper gives &C.
casion for a quiet talk. and already the
little fellow is making an effort to direct
his temper instead of letting 1t master
him. Needless to say, the mother needs
all of her own self-control in order to
inculcate IL in her boy.

President Arthur's Two Senatorial
Intimates.

written expressly for The Washington Herad)
By DIR. e. J. EDWARDS.
After Gen. Chester A Arthur entered
the White House as President OF the
United States and during his term in
office, his intimate companionship with
United States Senators was confined to
two men, although he was on friendly
terms with all. Curiously enough, the
two Senators who-were especially con-
genial to him and to whom President
Arthur was also very congenial, repre-
scented Western States. One was George
G. Vest, OF Missouri. The other was John
p. Jones, Of Nevada. Senator Vest was
of rigid Jeffersonian Democracy. John
P. Jones was a Republican and was al
ways competent and ready to give the
reasons for his party faith.
But there was no partisan hip In their
relations with President Arthur. With
Senator Vest the President discussed
mildly exciting and always fascinating
experiences as an expert fisherman, for
both possessed exceeding ability In cast
ing the fly and in tempting game fish
to take the hook. In addition to this
topic OF common interest, Senator Vest
and President Arthur were fond Of the
classics, and the Missouri man dis
covered. somewhat to his establishment.
that President Arthur was familiar with
the literature of Germany. and both
spoke and read the German language.
Senator Jones' cordial relations with
President Arthur began some years be-
fore the latter became President. When
ever the Nevada Senator visited New
York he did not fall to call on Gen.
Arthur at his office of Collector Of the
Port Of New York or later. at Gen.
Arthur's law office. Both OF these dis
tinguished Republicans were students Of
the English classics although none but
the intimate friends of both was aware
of that fact
When. therefore, President Arthur be-
came the guest of Senator Jones at the
latters home on Capitol Hill, pending
