INDUSTRIAL I XSTA 151 LIT Y. The Effect of Invention Upon Un skilled Labor. As a ConwqiM'Dce of Mechanlral Ap pllaiirea llomntic Servants Have lleronie Much Scarcer. "While the political movements of the century have c-hanped the person nel of domestic servants in America, the development of the material re sources of the country has atrecte.l their status. Hefore the present cen tury employes of every kind were in a sense stationary,' writes I.uoy M. Sal mon in the New England Magazine. "This was due partly to a system of indenture which bound a servant for seven, tive, or four years, and to the system of slavery which lioun.l the servant for life; partly to the cysteia of apprenticeship which made the servant a member of the family of his master; partly to the custom prevail inp in country districts and small towns for unmarried workmen in all industries to loard with their employ ers, and partly to the lack of facilities for cheap anil easy means of coimauni cation between different sections of the country. There was no mobility of labor as" regards cither employment or place of employment a fact true alike of domestic service ami of other occupations. Ihit thi 'condition of af fairs is changed. The establishment of the factory system of manufactures and the consequent substitution of mechanical for skilled processes of la bor broke down the system of appren ticeship, and workmen in every occu pation, except domestic service, ceased to be members of the families of their emplo3-ers. A preater mobility of la bor was made possible. At a later time the great era of railroad develop ment and similar enterprises gave op portunity for a certain mobility as re gards place of employment. "All of these industrial movements have been important factors in chang ing the condition and character of do mestic service. It is true in a peneral sense that ever' preat chanpo in economic conditions affects all other occupations, even those not primarily concerned in it liut domestic service has been affected in certain specific ways. The employe who disliked housework, but to whom no other oc cupation hail been open, could go into factories and mills since no time was consumed in learning the simple proc esses of mechanical work. Every in vention formed the basis for a new oc cupation. Domestic service had a hun dred competitions in a field where be fore the era of inventions it stood alone. Moreover these new occupa tions required little skill, no prepara tion. "In view of these changed and changing economic conditions it may be saiil that that immobility of labor which has seemed to some economists so great an obstacle to the industrial advancement of women practically ha ceased to exist in the case of domestic service. Iiidustrial development ha been carried so far that the problem has come to be how to make this form of labor not more mobile but more stable." HER DRESSMAKER'S BILL. The Novel Fxpedient KenorU'il to by the lliiUKliter of a M illionuire. The daughter of a ret ircd millionaire has an allowance of three thou, and dollars a year for pin money. Out oi' it. she is expected to pay for her clothe: nnd other H-rsonal expenses, such as gloves, candy, luioks and matinee tickets. One Would imagine that she could manage to squeeze along on her income, particularly as she had no board to pay. Uut she didn't. In fact she found herself very heavily in delil to her dressmaker one tine morning She struggle ! on a few months, accord ing to the Minneapolis Tribun, keep ing her trouble to herself and trying to economize. Finally a crisis war. reached. She had "nothing to wear" und could not order any new urease without paying something on account To make the matter worse the dress maker began pressing her for her ut'incy. She went to her father. Here fused to help her. She apH-alcd to her brother. He sympathized with her, but he could do nothing, as he was deeper iu debt than his sister. Then she wenl hgafn to her father. This is substan tially what this cruel parent said: "No. mv child: 1 will not help you pay any of your debts. Your allow ance is large enough to supply you with everything you require. If you go beyond it you must suffer the con sequences. Co to your di-essitiakcrau.l arrange to pay your bill out of youi fiiiure allow am e. In the meantime you have all the clothesany reasonable being could wear tor a year. Let this be a lesson to you." Did the young woman ta'.e her father's advice? Not u hit of it When she found that tears and entreaties would not move him she took counsel with some of her relatives and friends. The result is that a private entertain ment has been arranged for the oene tit of thepoorunfoilunate millionaire'.-; daughter. All her friends are expected to buy tickets, and the proceeds will go toward liquidating the hated dress maker's bill. Perhaps if the father would hear about it he would Veto the proceedings. For that reason it is not well to mention her name, except to say that she is a member of the Four Hundred, and that this is a true tale. STIMULATING GROWTH. A Practical aud Sci. iitllU- I of Elec tricity 111 France. A practical, scientific use of elec tricity is made in I'rauce to stimulate the growth and increase the product of field crops. An apparatus which has been successfully used is called the gcomaguetife r, says tha Philadelphia Kecord. and consists of a high pole set up in the field where the iotatocs or other crops are growing. It supports an insulated head of galvanized irou, which terminates in the air iu u sort of plexus of points and branches made of copper. This collector of electrici ty communicates by wire with a net Work of other wires, which ramify through the earth around the foot of the pole anil among the growing rinds, beets, cabbages, potatoes or other crop buried deep enough to ! out of the way in cultivating the crop. It is found by experience that this apparatuscollectsthe electricity which always exists in the atmosphere, and which is made esecially manifest by storms, rain, wind, etc., and transmits it to the earth and the stratum of air nearest the earth. The resulting stimulus to the crop is very marked. In one test withiu a superficial area of thirty-two meters the potato yield, in proportion to the yield of adjoining areas not electrically stimulated, was as nim tytmr to sixty. Another report showed sixty-three kilogram of pota toes, as against thirty-eight kilograms (.Town under ordinary conditions. Other root crops and grapes give equal ly good results. "If I were to ask you to marry me what would you bay?" "Why' Mr Jouesby," she faltered, "really, this U so sudden." "I thought so." he an swered; "that's about what they all MJ. Much obliged." And then he said U was time furJuato rix. Washington JAMES WAITC Mi&wt of Waite's Ctlelrit.s1 Cimftdy Oo .Premium Band and Urcta.ua. Dr. XiUa if'diral Co., Elkhart, Ind.

"Xo matter what it may be, if an ar ticle bring a fair price I deal in it," f-id a commission merchant to a writer in the Waverly Majrazine. "My last venture consists of dried flies, just common liies which come from Mexico. People buy them for their singing birds. I sell them retail to the deal ers. Flies are plentiful in the tropical valleys and the time of the Mexican Indian is not particularly valuable. When he can no longer sleep in his hut on account of the swarms of flies at tracted by the filth w hich accumulates about his front door he sometimes is stuiir into a desire for revenge on his enemies Revenge is sweet, and sweeter if there is any money in it. lie jrocs to the woods and collects a num ber of preen twigs of a certain tree. These he lays in a pile on the floor of his hut. with some dry twigs under them. Then from another tree he gets a (rum which he boils into a thin sirup and spreads on the 'walls of hii hut. Tlie ilies are attracted by its fraTant an.l far-reaching odor. They gather to feed on it. When the hut is black with them the Indian sets fire to the twigs on the floor and closes the apertures from the outside. The twigs emit an aromatic smoke which kills the flies an.l they fall to tlu floor in thousands. Then the native': wife dries them while he goes to bleep again." A MINK TRAGEDY. The Myaterluua lloae of the Life of a Cruel Animal. For a couple of months I have been trying to solve the probleia of a dead mink I found lying in my barn on my return home. The mink had been dead but a short time, and had no wounds upon it except at the throat where two small holes had let out its life bhal. How it came to this end has troubled me ever since, says a cor respondent of Forest and Stream. There were no eats iu the barn, and the rats "instinctively hail left it" as well, during lay absence from home. 1 at len:rth concluded that two male minks mu t have had a quarrel in the barn and one had become a victim of the fight. The barn is close to the dam of one of my pon.ls. and had been frequented by minks in pursuit of the chicken' which sometimes took up a nighft lodging in it. But as they were re moved to other quarters the minkf must have had the building all tc themselves. I skinned the Ixxly. which could not have been dead many hours, and the marks in the throat showed that only one firm and deadly grip had been taken. It is interesting to know that these cruel lieat have no bowels of compassion even for each other. LAW, LAWYERS AND LAWSUITS.
