f HOW ANTON SOLVED 1
j THE SERVANT |
I GIRL PROBLEM J
AN ION HEGENMFEEKR sat in his
office, and the smile that began to
lignt his* gray German eyes spread out
like the rising sun over the broad < x
patise of his red cheeks until it drew
the corners of his mouth wide apart
and he laughed. He had an idea. \
shrewd admirer of Kaiser Wilhelm was
Anton Hegenmuller, but he had lived
long enough in the Borough of Mnr.
liattan, 1'. S. A., to appreciate the value
of ide:*>. This idea was great. Easily
a spectator must have discovered that,
if, unseen, he could have watched the
vast and appreciative smile illumine t he
countenance of Anton Hegenmuller.
Anton believed he had solved the
servant girl problem. Not. however,
from the standpoint of the troubled ami
energetic lady who came at intervals
to rest the burden of her domestic cares
upon his broad and generous shouldm
•^not that. His idea wa- purely phil
anthropic. But it did not include the
universe. Anton was to be the center ;
of it the circumference. Anton laughed ;
again. There was to be a limit to that, j
It might include the oppressed and
dowu-trodden servant girl, but tin
weary, if energetic, ladies who had been !
Anton's patrons in the wide, cool spac -
of Murray Hill? Walt, let us see!
A soft gurgle of rubber tires on
the asphalt pavement, the frou-frou of
silken skirts outside the office, and An
ton’s smile of personal joy relaxed into
a temperate and mildly effusive wel
come as a lady appeared in the door
way.
"Sara says she’s going!" exclaimed
the visitor, by way of an introductory
remark.
Ar.ton was not staggered; neither was
be perturbed. His shoulders came up
and in about an inch; his eyebrows gen
tly did the same, a little trick he had
brought from his neighbors in Alsace
Lorraine. in the Fatherland.
“Sara was a most excellent girl." h*
eaid, convincingly, as if to amend mat
mu silt’s going: repeateu me iauy ,
Insistently.
Anton had had nint h experience w ith
“Saras" of various nationalities and of
many names, and he did not share his
visitor's alarm. He was not discom
fited. The incident merely strengthened
liis original philanthropic plan.
Presently the guest departed, com
forted with the assurance that Anton
himself would see the divine Sara and
compel her to relinquish the idea of for
saking so kind and charming a mistress
Oh, Anton was tactful!
Then he resumed his broad and happy
6iniie and the consideration of the phil
anthropic idea. He reasoned thus:
For 17 years he had conducted art
employment agency in the fashion
able residence district of upper New
York, and scarcely a house between For
tieth street and Lexington avenue and
Eighteen!hstreetand Central Pari, \Y<
•—not to include seme cross-streets ot
eminent respectability but which liar
bored a mail! f his si lection The num
ber reached lar into the three figures
Shrewd he was. and he knew tlte value
of a good servant girl. True, his r< com
mendation was not given gratis, but An
ton's patrons had the greatest reliance
and faith in him His girls were fix
tures, like the bras - faucets on the kitch
en sink; they seldom refused to work,
and they hardly ever wore out So good,
indeed, were Anton's girls that he had
no more business to do.
In the main they were contented.
Largely they looked upon him as agreat
and true friend Therefore, Anton lelt
that they would have no objection to
harkening to his counsel; it would do
them no harm, and as for him well,
perhaps Anton's smile grew even broad
er and more expansive as the idea tit
tered its way again through his ferule
mind.
And that day Anton Hegenmuller's lit
tle stenographer—-one who had gradu
ated ’from the ranks of the domestic
got busy. The result of her labors ap
peared in a small, characteristic missive
reading like this:
Dear Miss lirowr 1 have found you a
very, va ry mu. I. nicer place, r f ave been
wateht_/»- your work closely and the u-pu
tatlon f.. ich you b \a made in your pres
ent posit ^ as earned this fur you. 1 am
very, very™ ad to te . y i about it, : •> . t
know that you wiU ,ke it and tl:e
which you ate tdl'u with w; ; afc, ,,
You are to quit you- pn si ut t-mp.oy men-,
a week from it« xt Thursday, y i. ,ng i : e
week's notice, and to me to me. Yours
tTUi/,
As Anton llegenmuller sat at his
desk and signed his name to several
hundred of these letters, his smile came
and went like heat lightning on a sum
mer evening. He had no misgivings
as to tahe result—nor need he. The sev
eral hundred "Saras" whom he had
placed on Murray Hill had extreme con
fidence in his knowledge of domestic
affairs and in his judgment ol the char
acters of feminine employers.
Therefore it wa- no surprise to An
ton when the morrow was vet young
to hear the constant cbou-choo of au
tomobiles as they came to a determined
stop at his curb. All day the frou
frou of silken skirts, the perfume of
scented garments, the haughty air of |
the ultra-lashionable. filled ins office,
and the constant cry of "Sara's going!"
reverberated in his car-. Ah, it was
oeet music!
Kut that was only the beginning.
Each day the procession of carriages
that drew up to Anton's door increased
in length, and in proportion to the per
turbation of their occupants his amia
bility grew apace. For a week the ex
eltement continued- excitement over
the departure of many cool-sand maids
from their kitchen home-. Streams of
"Saras ’ in the afternoons, streams of
madames in the mornings, and lo! I
in eight days, without a jar greater
than that made by the constant
bump-bump of a rubber-tired wheel
against his curbstone, Anton’s philan
thropic idea had been carried out!
Seven hundred ladies on Murray
Hill and thereabouts were commend
ing the industry and deit skillfulness
of 700 n-w servants, and blessing the
genius of Anton who had provided
them. Seven hundred girls were wuii
ering wherein their new mistresses
ar.d I heir new homes excelled. JJul
they did not uoubt no. Anton had said
it was so!
Anton sat in his office and multi
plied 700 by 5—and in tront of the five
was a dollar sign. He went to his
little safe and verified the figures in a
material roll of banknotes reposing un
ostentatiously in a little drawer. Then,
taking the paper, he scanned the
marine intelligence for the departing
steamship for Germany.
And the next day Anion’s office was
closed!—N. V. Times.
MANY MESSAGES ON WIRE.
New Invention Provides for Sending
Twenty-Four Telegrams Over
the Same Line.
Tiie invention of new methods for
sending a number of messages simul
taneously over the same wire contin
ue. and one of the most recent of
these is due to Prof. Mercadier, of ttie
1' ranch high school for post and tele
graph. says Week’s Progress. In this
method an alternating current is cm- !
ployed whose frequency depends upon
a tuning-fork having a certain definite
number of vibrations. The current of
such an interrupted circuit can he
broken by an ordinary key, and sig
nals transmitted over the line wire
by an induction transmitter. On the
line a! the distant station are a num
ber of so-, ailed monotelephones which
respond to current of one frequency,
and are tuned to the forks in the cir
cuits at the sending station.
Thus each particular circuit lias its
own telephone, which is connected by
tubes with the ears of the receiving
operator, and responds to the sigtials
made at the sending station. In all. i
12 transmission circuits are provided. ;
so that 24 messages can lie sent over
the line simultaneously. A double
line, or metallic circuit, is required,
buto’herwise t he apparatus is compara
tively simple, .in i involves merely the
adjustment of :lie tuning-forks anu
suitable condensers and inductance
coils.
DRINK TEA A WEEK OLD.
Australians Rival Consumers of China
aiui Japan Not in Quality
But Quantity.
ill*' tea drinkers of Australia rival
those of China ami Japan, not, how
ever. in the quality, but in the quan
tity. consumed. The men. especially,
j drink the beverage in large quantities,
and all day long, anti at a strength
which would make the queue of a t *a
drinking Chinaman curl. On Sunday
morning the tea drinker starts with
a dean pot and a clean record. The
pot is hung over the fire, with a suf
ficiency of water in it for the day's
brew, and when this is boiled lie pours
into it enough of the fragrant herb to
produce a deep coffee-colored liquid.
On Monday, without removing yes
terday's tea leaves, he repeats the
process; on Tuesday the same; like
wise on Wednesday, and so on through
1 the week. Toward the rlose of the
seventh day the pot is tilled with an
acrid mash of tea leaves, out of which
| ilie t*a is squeezed by the pressure of
a tin cup. By this time the tea is a
color of rusty iron, incredibly bitter
and disagreeable to tin* uneducated pal
■ ate. The natives call it "real good old

Every sensible woman naturally wishes
to appear attractive. She knows the value
of bright eyes, delicate complexion and

good health isnt the Imsisof her charms,
and that good lilood is t he source of good
health.
Miss Mamie Conway lias a complexion
which is the admiration of all who know
her. Asked if she could make any sug
gestions that would he helpful to others
less fortunate, site said :
“My complexion would not have
pleased you, if yon had seen it two years
ago. It wits then nlmut as b:.d as it
could be, and it gave me a great deal of
dissatisfaction. If yott want a good
complexion you must take care of your
health, especially of the condition of
your blood. My health was at that time
completely broken down. I was nervous,
had frequent headaches, a torpid liver
and a great deal of pain in that region.
1 suffered also from indigestion. It was
clear tlint my blood was in bad condition,
for pimples broke out all over nty face.”
“It is hard to realize that, for there

AMANA THE HOME OF COM
MUNIST SETTLEMENT.
vemi-Centennial Will Be Celebrated
Soon — Organization Survives
Many Privations. But Comes
Out Successful.
Amatia. Iowa, the largest communistic*
settlement in the world, this year cele
brates its semicentennial, after an exist
ence wnieh for privations and hardships
is unrivaled in the history of any like
sect in this or foreign countries.
in 1S-U’, four leaders of a body known
as the True Inspirationists set sail for
America, to s*ek a site for a city w hich
was to be the home of these people; a
place where they could practice their
leliefs and he free from the prosecution
which their convictions forced them to
undergo in Germany. The lean* rs, once
in America, became the victims of land
sharks, and purchased a tract near Buf
falo. where their followers settled the
text year. Ebenezer, a* the settlement
tvas then known, was for the decade
spent on the spot, harra-sed on ode side
by Indians and on the other by the white
land marks.
Such conditions were not conducive to
■ ■inmiinNtir life, ami again the trusted
four W( re sent to seek another home for
| the Inspirationists. This time, it was
-perilled, the site must be on t lie further
mnk of tin Mississippi, and, with wis
:om br< <1 of ten years’ experience in the
New York settlement, the communists
decided upon the site afforded by the
Iowa river in the northwestern part of
Iowa county, Iowa, and in the course of
a year the entire settlement had moved
tiieir belongings to the site. The town
was called Amana. meaning "remain
true." and, despite the oft-proven truth
if the assertion that there is little in a
name, it seems that prosperity and hap
piness lias been the lot of these humble
Germans.
Communism has a history w hich is a
formidable rival of that of the I’ttritans.
There have been many attempts to estab
lish towns exclusively for these people,
but as the principles of their belief give
each man equal rights, and as there has
been, almost without exception, some
ambitious person seeking to obtain more
than his share of control, the settle
ments have nearly always been failures.
With Amana it lias been very tiiffer
•nt. The leading lights who headed the
movement were C. M. Winzenreid. John
Beyer. Jacob Witmer and Friedrich
Heinemann. and these men always had
the best interests of their sect at heart.
Since 1855, when the settlement was es
tablished, the number of persons ad
MEETING IIUI'SE IN AMANA.
liering to the sect has jumped from 500 to
I .'.t in and th»° towns have increased from
the single little village of Amana to
seven prosperous cities. At present
there are West Amana, South Amana.
High Amana. East Amana. Homestead,
| Midtile Amana and the original village.
When the settlement was first made,
18,000 acres were purchased In the soci
ety. and now it is recorded that the or
| aani/.ation owns 30,000 acres, and its
| property is declared to he of considera
ble value.
The s>stem of government of thesoci
»ty is that of a sort of commonwealth.
Trustees are selected by the members.
| uid from their number a president is
j elected. Each family is allowed a spe
! Hied sum as a general account. Every
mem!) r of the community is obliged to
; work and the work is graded according
to his or her physical c apacity. Laziness
| and shirking is unknown. The fore
| most industry of these people is agri
| culture. Amana woolens, which are '
: manufactured in the Iowa town, have a
reputation which is world wide
Equality is the leading featureof com
| munis,tie life. and. despite the promi
nence which a member may iiave ob
; tained during hi- period of membership,
his final resting place is marked by the
same simple, undeeorated headstone
that is found on the graves of theothers.
