Is Your Work Brain Work.
By FRANCES MARSHALL.

Did you ever stop to wonder. you who
are fortunate enough to be in a home
OF your own. whether the work that you
do Is brain work or not?
Roughly speaking. menlal work Is
work that Is done almost entirely as a
routine process OF the hands or body.
The swarthy son Of southern Europe
who wields the pick and shovel in our
streets, the girl who works from morn
ing to night in a factory performing
one single routine task, are doing work
that Is largely meniaL Is your house
work Of this order?
In the old days no doubt there was
much that was purely routine and had to
be done about ones house. But now
fortunately for women there Is very
little work that is not more intellectual
than It Is meniaL
Now we let machinery do the purely
routine work. Our meat grinders, va
cum cleaners, carpet sweepers, the
plumbing systems IN our house, running
water, gas and electricity, all these
products Of modern inventions are the
slaves OF the modern housewife. The
work that Is left for her to do is the
really high class work Of supervision.
And to classify housework as it is done
nowadays by the intelligent woman in
her home as menial would be most un-
lair
day, taking into account the materials
In the house, the needs OF your family,
the prevailing prices OF food. the prob
able demands OF the next day, the condi-
ton Of your own finances, and the nu-
trftive value OF the various foods under
consideration, you are calling into play
your higher faculties.
; needless to say, the work OF the
uother IN caring for her children, how
eever nonotonous Il may seem, calls into
vhy the most decided sort Of intellectual
acttvfty. The mother who brings up a
child nowadays has to be something OF
4 diedcian and a scientist
The woman who decorates her own

Gen. Sherman and the Cheese.
By DR.. E. J. EDWARDS.

One afternoon when Gen. william T
Sherman was finding entertainment by
looking from the window Of the office
which was occupied by the late Gen.
Grenville NJ Dodge and which fur
nished one of the best vistas Of New
York harbor and its ever-moving
commerce. Gen. Dodge asked his chief
commander in army days IL he had
ever experienced any entertainments
those who suffered in war days or
had been in any way annoyed by those
with whom he had had experience in
war days.
Gen. Sherman meditated a moment
or two and then. with the cordial
smile which was characteristic OF him
In days Of peace, replied that he did
suffer from one pestiferous annoyance
which was continued for some years
after the close of the war.
In the campaign which followed the
battle of Shiloh-sometimes called
Pittsburgh Landing-Gen. Sherman had
as q body servant a quaint but faith
full colored man who was assIduous in
his attentions and who always took
especial pains to find something with
which to tempt Gen. Sherman's appe-
tite.
Occasionally he brought TO the gen
eral pork in good enough condition TO
be boiled so that II could be eaten with
hard tack and greens with relish. But
whenever Gen. Sherman asked this
colored man where he got the deli
cacies-for meat OF that kind was then
a delicacy-the man always replied
that he found them. and would give
no other explanation.
Upon one occasion this colored man
came to the generals tent bringing
a very tempting piece OF cheese It
was a delicacy especially acceptable TO
Gen. Sherman at that time. But when
he asked the servant where he got
the cheese, the sole reply was. Gen
eral. 1 found it"
After a while. Gen. Sherman learned
a sutler claimed that the colored servant
took the cheese from the sutler' s
tent The sUtler sfterwsrd made a
demand upon Gen. Sheuman for pay
ment for this cheese. The demand was
denied, but the sutler kept at IT After
the war was ended whenever he hao
an opportunity he pestered Gen. Sher-
man.
There was no moral or legal obliga
tion to make payment to the sutler
for there was no proof that the colored
men had actually found the cheese in
the suffers store. This pestering
Gen. Sherman said, after a time be-
came a greater annoyance to him than
any other experience of his after the
war. in fact about the only one. He
could. he said, have put an end to Il
II he had paid the man. but he did not
believe that he ought TO buy freedom
from annoyance by making any pay
ment. At last, the demand ceased and

fences were delightful
