GOOD HOUSEKEEPING.
BY Henrietta Grauel.
OUR MAID SERVICE.

As long as the world lasts there will he
servers and employers and each class will
always be dependent upon the other. But
whcth her labor and capital Will ever solve
their difficulties is problem the women
of the land dislike TO contemplate. There
is one sure thing if mstrcsses were sud
denly changed into servants they would
not do any better themselves than their
maids do and they might be worse. There
is wisdom and peace in seeming blindness
TO the faults of household helpers some
times, but where TO draw the line between
latitude and duty is hard to decide
Maids should be able to look up to their
miStresses as having superior knowledge
of household matters, but how seldom do
young women know anything about the
way in which work should be planned OF
executed and how well servants know
this The result then is not surprising a
maid remains IN one situation in one
situation only until she can find better
paving one. Humanity is much the same
and YOU would not do differently.
Young housekcepcrs treat the help as
though they were social helpers or ma
chimes, the idea of cooperation or mutual
benefit seems never TO enter the heads of
mistress or maid. Yet there in hes the
secret of perfect service Relations
founded on money basis only can never
be happy ones When girl comes into
your home or mine she becomes in sense

when things are constantly done inn

INQUISITIVE MADAM DUCK.

Madame Duck was very inquisitlve
creature, and one day she almost lost her
head because Of this trait
One morning as she was eating her
breakfast she happened TO glance up from
her mush and saw the Master and Toby
Dog going out the gate.
Now, where can they be going, |
should like to know?" thought Madam
Duck IF they were going to town,
Master would have gone in the wagon
| cannot think where they can he going
on foot; | think | will follow, and see
what they are up to,
Madam Duck did not notice that the
farmer had gun over his shoulder,
and if she had she would not have known
what it was for; so she waddled along
to the gate and watched until they
turned the corner of the road, and then
she crawled under and waddled as fast
rs she could after them
They were Just turning into the woods
when Madam Duck turned the corner,
but that did not matter TO her; she was
determined to find out where they were
going.

MAY ENLARGE AGE LIMIT.
Increase to 45 Years Would Add Over
Million Men.

Discussing enlargement of the age
limit for selective military service,
Provost Marshal General Crozier said:
"A pronounced majority of the
boards favor some enlargement, but
there is great diversity of opinion as TO
the proper age limit. Nineteen and 80
are perhaps the limits most frequently
suggested; but some recommend 40 or
10 years as the upper limit. There is
distinctly stronger demand for rails
ing the maximum age than for lowering
the minimum.
Gen. Crozier estimates that 1889
3sS acceptable single men would be
made available by an increase in the
age limit to include men up to As wears.
The estimate places the number of ac-
ceptablc single men between Is and
p years at l,546.283. The number of
probablE acceptable single men already
registered but not called is ,32l, 945.
According to these figures, should the
age limit be enlarged to include men
Of from IS years to 10 years, inclusive,
4,251 ,5l6 physically and otherwise quail
flied unmarried men would be open for
call to service
