HOUSEHOLD MAIDS.
(Their Claims Cpon (he Consideration
of Tlielr Mistresses nod
Their Doties.
file vexed question of the relations
of mistress and maid is one of the
oldest problems of the world. In
those ancient times when a mistress
• exercised übsolute authority there
seemed to have been the same com
plaints of incompetence, arrogance
and impertinence which are so famil
iar to-day. These household troubles,
says the New York Tribune, have be
come so vulgar, though they are often
insurmountable, that well bred wom
en keep them to themselves, only con
tiding them to others when it is posi
tively necessary. They thus recog
nize that there is a certain disgrace
in any jangle in the house which so
seriously disturbs the pence of the
home. A great many wise housekeep
ers of to-day never allow the blunders
or shortcomings of their maids to be
known, much less to form a topic of
conversation, even in their house
holds. Whatever nnnoyances the
manager of the house suffers, she
keeps them to herself. The subject of
ithe shortcomings of the maid of all
work should certainly be avoided in
the household, as it has long been in
refined society.
This reticence on the part of the
housekeeper is excellent in its effect
on the maid herself. Nothing is more
idemoralizing to uny employe than to
overhear scraps of critical conversa
tion from her employer, of which she
is the subject. It weakens the sense
of loyalty whicli every individual in
the household should feel toward the
other in their relation one to the
other. The maid of all work has cer
tain claims upon the consideration of
.the mistress which the-mistress can
not avoid, although they are not writ
ten in a bond. It is the mistress' duty
to provide a comfortable sleeping
room and sufficient wholesome food.
It is also her duty to make the work
that must be done as light as pos
able, and see that the girl is not
■unnecessarily exposed to the weather
or Subject to any heavy burdens that
will break down her health. The
maid’s wages should be paid promptly,
but this amount is not sufficient if
she labors beyond her strength. The
maid, in return, should do her work
thoroughly and industriously. She is
generally young, and allowance for
her youth, as well as her ignorance,
will be made by a thoughtful mis
tress, who should be a true friend to
Ithe girl who has come into her house
hold. Many a woman who will labor
unceasingly on the board of managers
for a home of charity has no time,
or docs not take time, to help the
poor maid in her kitchen to acquire
those very habits of neatness and
usefulness which she spends time to
teach the little waifs of the home.
Every young household servant lias
some claim upon the mistress as a
friend who will advise her to her in
terest. A girl who feels that she has
a true friend in her mistress will be
more respectful, not more familiar,
and she will be more faithful in do
ing her work. Schools for training
servants may be useful, but they will
not solve the question of mistress and
maid and their just relation to each
other. Societies for bettering do
mestic help will still leave the old
question virtually untouched. The so
lution of this matter does not lie in
the advancement of any class or in
the education of individuals. The Di
'T ' Vine Teacher on the Mount taught us
nearly 2,000 years ago to render jus
tice, in word and deed, to others ns
we would have justice rendered unto
us.
New Styles in Hats,
Some of the newest hats tilt over
the face and have a drapery of black
lace covered' with sequins, the crown
hidden by loops of black velvet, a
shower of cock’s feathers falling on
either side. The toques, which most
nearly approach to a bonnet, have an
upstanding crescent brim of velvet,
covered with tulle with large spots of
chenille, and just in front of it soft
folds of some bright-colored velvet, an
ostrich plume peeping over the edge.
This is tied under the chin with bows.
Bright green is a fashionable color of
the moment, trimmed with pearly
gray, and many of the smaller hats
are tilted upward at the side, with a
chou of the gray velvet between the
hair and the hat, the crown simply
covered with feathers made of nar
row black velvet looped on a quill and
held in place with diamond buckles.
These have the merit of not spoiling
with damp weather, as ostrich plumes
do.—Washington Star.
New Tilings In Silk.
One might spend l a day at the silk
counter and' then not be through with
the list that goes to make up the sea
son’s silks. There are very heavy
'weaves, but without a suggestion of
stiffness; there are the spring foul
ards, the gauzy silks, like liberty, and
silk crepes and silk muslins, and nov
elties in brocading and embroidering
and' laey stripes that were never
shown before. The spring foulards are
simply beautiful, both as to texture
and colors, The blues are in the soft
est shades, but all the colors are roost
artistic. For extreme novelty the new
India twilleu' silks with palm leaf bor
ders take the lead. In pale shades,
with a border in Persian colors, they
are very attractive, but for really
striking effect the black ground
stands at the head.—Washington Star.
Handkerchief Waists.
Now that handkerchiefs are so much
used for waists, a handkerchief in any
form seems to go. A pretty effect is
made with one in a simple wash
gown. The gown has a wide turn
nway collar, meeting in points over
tlie bust, and there is knotted as a
finish a simple little embroidered
linen handkerchief, and it is very pret
ty.—N. Y. Times.

HE BOUGHT THE BRICK.
A Confidence Game That Miscarried
and the Intended Victim
Came Out Ahead.
Jeremiah Harding lives on the
West side with several hundred thou
sand other people, doesn’t pretend to
be smart, is law-abiding, but has
never Been indicted for it, and yet he
practically sold a confidence man his
own gold brick, says the Chicago
Times-Herald.
The leading axiom in the gold
brick business is: “Never buy; always
sell gold bricks.”
Jerry doesn’t need any pointers in
transactions where money is one of
the active ingredients, for he came by
them naturally, but the confidence
man didn't know it. In some way
the latter learned the dimensions of
Mr. Harding’s deposit at the bank,
and after careful calculations with a
range-finder thought the transfer to
liis own depleted hoard as good as
made.
Because of his failure to take Jere
miah into his confidence, however, this
bricklayer slipped an eceentric, lost the
cherished brick which had so often
laid long-green eggs, plunged his
family into grief and woe, had to
move at night into a cheaper flat,
forfeited his social and business stand
ing, and was relegated to the “suck
er” class.
When a business-like, although
clerical-looking, middle-aged man,
neatly dressed, called upon Jerry at
his grocery one day recently solicit
ing money for the Society for the
Propagation of Mendacious Peripa
tetics, Jerry warmed to him at once,
promised to think it over, had him
stay to the noon dinner, and trotted
out the hard cider.
Now, Jerry rather smelled a rat, al
though his conscience hurt him for
mistrusting the eloquent missionary,
but it recovered from the attack when
the visitor, after handing out lots of
information about Cape Nome, where
arctic oceans come from, said his
brother had sent him several thou
sand dollars’ worth of gold dust,
which he had transformed into a per
allelojjiped, but, needing cash, de
sired Jeremiah, as a business man, to
advise him.
“Sell the thiDg to a circus,” said
Jerry.
The stranger threw a pitying
smile upon his host, and then ex
plained that the gold had been cast
into a brick-shaped mass, adding:
"There’s $7,500 worth of gold in it,
but I’ll take $5,200 ready money,”
just the magnitude of Jerry’s bank
deposit. It was a strange coinci
dence.
Jeremiah asked to see the brick,
but it was down-town; he would not
care to endanger its safety by lug
ging it around, nor would he ask
Jerry to buy. Perhaps some bank
was in need of it.
“I can have it tested, I suppose?”
Inquired the groeeryman.
“Certainly,” responded the mission
ary; “we’ll go to the government as
say office and it will be tried by the
assayer in your presence.”
So Jeremiah agreed to meet the
missionary at the bank Thursday
morning, and both were on time, the
stranger with a brick in his satchel
large enough to accommodate a hod
load. Jerry caught on to this at once,
said nothing, drew $5,2C0 in ten SSOO
and two SIOO bills, stuffed them care
lessly into his pocket, took a chew of
black tobacco, and then left the bank
with the misionary.
“I'm sorry, but the government ns
sayer is out of town; shall we wait
till he gets back?” remarked the
missionary, apologetically.
No, it made no difference to Jerry;
any assayer his friend recommended
would! do, at which reply the mission
ary could have killed Jerry for not
having SIOO,OOO with him, and looked
upon the groeeryman as a swindler
for possessing but a paltry $5,200.
The brick was tested at a Jeweler’s,,
and being pronounced pure in heart
and of good financial standing, Jerry,
putting it in his pocket, accompanied
the missionary to a Van Buren street
hotel to complete the transaction. It
was evident the good/ man was dis
turbed, and hinted' two or three
times regarding the danger of carry
ing so precious a burden In one’s
clothes, but Jerry merely remarked:
“I’d like to sec some one take this
from me. If he does he can have
it.”
It was rather queer that the re
ligious man’s room smelled of smoke
and liquor, but Jerry said nothing.
The missionary stood aside to let Jerry
enter first, but the latter pushed the
other ahead, and into the apartment,
and merely crossing the threshold,
with the open door at his back, the
groeeryman drew his money from his
pocket and thrust the roll into the
crook’s hand.
“Nit,” shouted the confidence man
quite unelerically. “Come here, Jim.”
The missionary, dropping the satch
el, was about to reach for a revolver,
when he found a glistening barrel
shoved under his nose. He could see
all the constellations through it, for
it wus apparently the size of the Yer
kes telescope. The hand of the man
behind the gun didn’t tremble a
bit.
Obedient to call, the confederate
emerged from behind a curtain in a
dark corner of the room, and Tun
ing forward was about to rush
Jerry, when the latter coolly re
marked: “I'll kill the missionary if
you move an inch further, and then
I’ll kill you. I won't even let you
change bricks on me.”
Jerry locked the brick, which was
really worth S7,SCO, in a safety de
posit vault.
When the missionary counted over
the bills Jerry had given him, he
found they were built of stage money,
for the grocery man had fixed it with
the paying teller of the bank.

A PATHETIC TRIFLE.
One Little Chip on the River of Llfo
That Floated Oat with
the Tide.
Occasionally newspaper men are
serious. A few evenings since several
of the craft were discussing their ex
perience while serving on the police
detail, and each had recounted what
he considered the most pathetic pro
fessional incident in his career.
All had witnessed catastrophes and
heart-breaking sights, and the sad
rending of family ties; scenes calcu
lated to arouse the sympathetic emo
tions, even though one may, by con
stant association, become profession
ally indifferent, says the Washington
Stnr.
Here is the shortest story told:
“1 have seen my share of human
suffering and heartaches,” said a west
ern man, “of blood and mangled limbs
and bodies. Some years ago 1 looked
after tlie police and hospital for my
paper in a city that is a railroad cen
ter and terminus, and which had sev
eral large powder mills near by that
appeared to be continually Wowing
up their workmen.
“I have forgotten these pictures of
human distress and misery; put out
of my mind, pretty much, nil save this
one. I was in thu receiving .hospital
when the telephone from the city hall
rang up the steward to say that the
patrol wagon had gone down to the
railroad yard to bring up the body of
a man who had been run over by the
cars. This was such an ordinary oc
currence at the numerous grade cross
ings in the city that it excited no com
ment, save that the chief visiting sur
geon asked me to wait until the case
had been examined, and he would
then walk uptown with me.
“It was nearly midnight. In a few
minutes the patrol wagon rattled up
the silent street, and, as I was com
fortably seated before the fire in the
steward's room, I didn't rise to go at
once into the operating room, an un
pleasant. antiseptic-smelling place at
best.
“I soon heard my name called and
prepared myself for the usual dis
tressing sight of suffering humanity.
“The surgeon stood beside the
couch wiping the coal dust from the
victim’s face with a soft sponge.
“There lay the body of a little boy,
a bootblack, with the strap of his
blacking box still about Ills shoulders;
a poor little boy not over ten years
of age, his white features fast set
tling in the mold of death, his frail
frame a mass of broken bones which
the hard car wheels had crushed out
of shape. Blit his face was untouched
save by a few scratches, ard he looked
as if he were asleep; tired and weary
from the buffeting and kicks of a
world which to him must hnve known
no joys—only pain, hunger, suffering
and sorrow. A poor, homeless, parent
less, friendless little stranger, God
alone knowing from where he had
drifted, with not even so much as a
penny in .his rags; to be borne along
by the tide of life, a nameless chip in
the eddies, so suduenly and so soon to
find a resting place in a pauper’s
grave miles away from his home, If,
indeed, he had ever known such a
place.
“As the surgeon and I walked up
the quiet street that: night we did not
feel like talking.”

AN ARDUOUS TASK.
The Inspector of Windsor Castle Has
Multitudinous Duties to
Perform.
Leonard Collman, the inspector of
the palace at Windsor castle, is a man
of singularly equable temperament;
Indeed, he could hardly be otherwise,
when the nature of his duties is taken
into consideration. His colleague, Mr.
Taylor, at Buckingham palace, has a
comparatively easy berth, because
Queen Victoria rarely entertains
guests in London. Mr. Collman,. on
the other hand, says the Chicago Even
ing News, has to keep a register of
the likes and dislikes of. the many il
lustrious personages who are bidden
to Windsor, and extremely particular
most of them are as to the equipment
of their apartments.
For instance, one distinguished vis
itor requires certain pictures to be in
evidence, while another dislikes them;
one royal princess strongly objects to
the morning sun, shine it ever so
faintly; and a great potentate pre
fers a camp bed to lie upon. These
are matters which Mr. Collman has
constantly to bear in mind, but they
are trifles compared with the anxiety
imposed on hixn by the queen’s visit
to the Viceregal lodge, Dtiolin.
It may not be generally known thnt
her majesty must always be provided
with chairs rising a certain height
from the ground, and that a discrep
ancy of even half nil inch either way
causes the queen the greatest discom
fort. for site Is not of lofty stature,
nnd once, when visiting a Scottish
duke, she was given a splendid arm
chair, which, ns she herself remarked,
must hnve been made for tne king of
the Belgians. Of course, her majesty
made no complaint at the time, but
ever since then she has taken her own
chair with her. And as with chairs,
so with beds, sofas and settees. Mr.
Collman’s position is no sinecure, nnd
the change from Bordighera to Phoe
nix park did not lighten his labors.

SPANISH RESIDENTS IN CUBA.
Nearly Seventy Tluuund Have
Choaea to Preserve Allegiance
to the Crown.
Acting Secretary Meiklejohn has re
ceived a report from the secretary of
state of Cuba, through Gov. Gen.
Wood, of Havana, showing that 06,-
869 Spanish residents of the island
have preserved l their allegiance to the
crown of Spain, under the terms of
Article 9 of the Paris treaty of peaoe.
The registration is complete, with the
single exception of the returns from
the municipality of Caney, in the
province of Santiago, which have not
yet been received, says the Washing
ton Star.
The registration of Spaniards, ac
cording to provinces, is ns follows:
Havana, 31,274; Pinar del Rio, 5284;
Matanzas, 6,249; Santa Clara, 10,045;
Porto Principe, 1,586; Santiago de
Cuba, 6,431.
Article 9 of the treaty of peace be
tween the United States and Spain
provides that “Spanish subjects, na
tives of tne peninsula, residing in the
territory over which Spain by the
present treaty relinquishes or cedes
her sovereignty, may remain in such
territory or may remove therefrom,
retaining in either event all their
rights of property, including the right
to sell or dispose cf such property or
of its proceeds, and they shall also
have the right to carry on their indus
try, commerce and professions, being
subject in respect thereof to such laws
as are applicable to other foreigners.
In case they remain in the territory
they mny preserve their allegiance to
the crown of Spain by making, before
a eourt of record, within a year from
the date of the exchange of ratifica
tions of this treaty, a declaration of
their derision to preserve such alle
giance; in default of which declara
tion they shall be held to have re
nounced it and to have adopted the
nationality of the territory in which
they may reside.
“The civil rights and’ political status
of the native inhabitants of the terri
tories hereby ceded to the United
States shall be determined by the
congress.”
Unsettled.
“Can you tell me what sort of weath

a subscriber to an editor, and the editor
replied as follows:

next month will be very much tike your

BALTIMORE, MD.
The Paper of the People, for the People
and with the People.
Honest in Motive.
Fearless iu Expression.
Sound iu Principle.
A newspaper is an educator; there are all kind*
of educators, but the man who spends money
judiciously and liberally is better able to impart
his knowledge than the man who has little or
nothing to spend.
The Sun is the highest type of a newspaper.
The Suu’s reports from all parts of the United
States are unsurpassed.
The Sun’s Cable Service is the finest known;
the troubles in the Philippines and iu South Africa
demand competent correspondents and vast ex
penditure of money and labor in getting the news.
When you get The Sun you get news and intelli
gent presentation of facts with it, as well as care
fully prepared articles of editorial writers of high
est standing. When you read a daily paper,
whose principal recommendation is its cheapness,
you get the dregs—generally very poor dregs at
that.
