DURAND Steel Racks

BY THE WAY

[ocr errors]

Every woman is interested in learning how the "help" problem is solved by other women. Here is what a "county family in Ireland expect in a cook, according to an advertisement in the "Kilkenny People :"

Plain cook wanted; soup and sweets not necessary; early riser; good character indispensable; two in family, three servants kept; bread-making, fowl, assist at laundry (woman coming in to help); milk during spring months and occasionally at other times; one who understands management of calves (3); general servant from good farmhouse would suit; good wages to trustworthy person. Send latest discharge (dated), stating age. Address, etc.

Another advertisement in the "Kilkenny People" indicates that Great Britain has not yet by any means got down to a starvation diet. It reads, with the emphasis of large display:

To Farmers and Dealers.-John Slater begs to announce that he requires large supplies of prime Turkeys and fat Geese, fat Ducks, Game, and Wild

Ireland indicates a prosperous country.

A kindly act on the part of a railway is the order of the Southern Pacific to its engineDurand Steel Racks are very men that when a deer is seen on the track at night the headlight shall be extinguished strong, neat in appearance, fire- for a moment. More than a dozen deer proof, convenient, durable, will increase your storage capacity 25 per cent and will reduce losses, waste and delays.

a kindly humor and is not afraid to make a joke at his own expense is the one who is likely to have friends. "The Lamb" describes the latter type. "How much," asked one of this young man's clients, "will your opinion be worth in this case?" "Really," replied the candid legal light, "I can't say. But I can tell you what I am going to charge you for it."

The circus is coming to town! This spring, it is announced, it is to come in motor cars, gayly frescoed and gilded; the animals will follow the cars, in trailers; the living skeleton, the fat lady, the snakecharmer, the sword-swallower, the leopard boy, the giant and the midget-all will now travel by automobile instead of, as formerly, by railway. Some readers, however, will hark back with regret to the old days when the circus came to town in gay wagons drawn by prancing horses.

The Paris correspondent of "American Art News announces the discovery at Versailles of some fine paintings by Le Brun which had been hidden by a coat of whitewash when Louis Philippe rearranged certain apartments to form a historical museum. A secret stairway, which visitors may now see, connected these apartments, which are on the ground floor, with the state apartments of Louis XIV above. The paintings, representing Hercules and Minerva, are said to have been but little injured by their eclipse of threequarters of a century.

The term "Piedmont Virginia" is sometimes printed" Piedmont, Virginia," as if Piedmont were a place. The "Progressive Farmer," in a column called "An Agricul

tural Dictionary," thus defines the word Piedmont: "Literally, the foot of the mountain. Used particularly to designate the elevated foothill country to the east and south of the Appalachian Mountains."

The Bulletin of the Missouri State Experiment Station presents the results of certain experiments which have a bearing on current economic problems. It was found, after careful tests, that five pounds and two ounces of corn are required to produce one pound of pork-that is, a hog must consume over five pounds of corn to gain a pound in weight. Corn-meal mush or corn bread, it follows, is vastly more economical as a food for our tables than ham or bacon. The only practical difficulty in benefiting by this knowledge is that many people think that corn is so much better when it is transmuted by the lowly hog that it is worth five times the original price.

In a simple account of the last days of Lafcadio Hearn by Setsuko Koizumu (Mrs. Hearn) in the "Atlantic Monthly," a pleasant description is given of a Japanese home, and of the Japanese custom of hanging up a single picture each day in the living-room. In this way attention is concentrated on that picture as it cannot be in our rooms filled with miscellaneous pictures. Mrs. Hearn says that her husband bought many kakemono (paintings). "He did not decide to hang this one or that one, but left the choice to me. He enjoyed looking at whichever one I hung. He looked at it as a visitor would, and was pleased. . . . When I made tea he played the part of a guest. He did not perform the intricate details, but he understood the principle of the chano-yu, or tea-ceremony."

A motorist exchange asks the question whether young Lochinvar could spirit his fair bride away in these days of the motor car instead of the fiery steed, and answers it (in part):

[graphic]
[ocr errors]

"So light to the seat the fair lady he swung, So light to the cushion beside her he sprung," His foot on the clutch and his hand on the gearWith such a brave knight there was nothing to fear.

The pedal he pushed and the lever he jerked, And they'd have been gone-if the starter had worked!

[ocr errors][ocr errors]

"They never will catch us,' said young Lochinvar. Of a sudden before them a barrier swung,

And Lochinvar knew that a speed trap was sprung.
He fished in his pocket and peeled off his roll,
Sufficient to satisfy the constable's toll.
Once more they sped forward, the knight and his
bride-"

But the difficulties encountered forced the motorist poet to leave his problem unsolved.

Lord Granville Leveson Gower, who a century ago was the English Ambassador to Russia, is quoted in a recent book as expressing this opinion of the diplomatic service of his time: "Are you aware that the diplomatic Service is a school for falsehood and dissimulation? I am really sometimes shocked at myself for the degree of deceit which I am under the necessity of practising. It is not sufficient to be silent or to pretend to be ignorant of things of which one is informed, but one must hold a language calculated to inculcate a Belief of what is directly the contrary to the real Truth, and you cannot conceive the degree of amusement the persons who are in the secret derive from the dupery of those whom they deceive." Certain revelations in present-day diplomacy indicate that these standards have not greatly changed in some quarters.
