THE DOMESTIC SEHVANT IMIOB-
Ab' UsUnl at this tlWo of ydar the
domestic servant problem is agitat
ing many households'. It Is an un
pleasant fact that -women who em
ploy servants know, as a rule; little
of the biology, psychology1 and socio
logy Involved, otherwise tho prob
lem would bo less acute. In this
country there Is hot, and Is not like
ly to be, a servant class. A small
percentage of domestics remain
more than six years . at "service."
Tho rest are recruited 'from young
women In various strata of society
who seek this means of employment
previous to setting up a home of
their own.
Women are exceedingly Individu
alistic and 'their Bex consciousness Is
far greater thari that of males.
Women are self-centred, and prop
orly so, else they would not be, good
wives and mothers. They dominate
the homd largely because they are
actual or potential mothers, and all
filings must give way before this
most Important fact In human1 exist
ence. But the mistress generally
falls to understand that her domes
tic servants are also women who are
potential mothers, who have the
same individualism and the same
tomporamont as herself. It, Is a fact
that not one woman In a hundred
Is capable of properly controlling
other women. They are not given to
executive ability.
Most troubles over the servant
question arise from the fact that
women ard unjust sad as It Is to
say so. This Is small blame to them
because they are naturally unjust to
others of their own sex simply be
cause of their self-centred Individu
ality, as already explained. Most
mistresses make two errors. At
times they treat servants with groat
liberality and are prodigal of lan
ruage and gifts lest they lose them.
At others, they are bitter and un
thinking in tholr criticisms. No
man can control men in such a way
and it Is more difficult for a woman.
This ifault is temperamental, but if
women are to get along with serv
ants they must correct their conduct
and place It on a plane of justice.
Where servants are treated with
even-handed justice and kindness
there Is no problem.
A very successful mistress of a
home says that she never has any
trouble because, In addition to being
kind but just, pleasant but firm, she
has tact enough to run her house
hold exactly as she wishes, while at
tho same time letting tho servants
'have the Idea that they are running
it in their own way. There Is great
merit in this idea. We commend it
to those who are struggling with tho
problem. Young women in domes
tic service desire to bo treated just
as other women are. They do not
desire fawning nor harshness, but
justice. Domestic servants get, all
things considered, the highest wages
pald to unskilled labor, male or fe
male. If they were put on a busi
ness basis the problem would be
greatly lessened in general, but as
to particular cases no rules can ap
ply, and it is left to the mistress to
use as much common and uncommon
sense In her home as her husband
employs in his business.
MAGAZINE Oil NEWSl'APUIl.
It is an excellent thing to have an
elevated opinion of your own craft
and a broad ideal of its mission. For
this reason one cannot take exception
to tho enthusiasm of Mr. J. O. Cos
grove, editor of Everybody's maga
zine, in landing the magazine in gen
eral as an agency through which men,
whose superior talents have , been
trained in the newspaper Hold,' find
ultimate expression for their larger
and riper views. He says much of
the vision of tho magazine and of tho
talent which it develops, of its liter
ary qualities and of .the opportunity
it ever opens for originality. All this
is in good spirit. The assumption of
superiority can easily be pardoned
him. But as a sort of steadier to
the egotism of tho modern magazine
one might cite a few facts, comments
the Detroit News.
Tho best literary product of to-day
is found in tho newspaper, not in the
magazine. Many of the most popu
lar magazine writers havo been gent
ly assisted out of the newspaper field
because of their unreliability. On
the other hand, George Ado and Pin
ley Peter Dunne wrote for tho news
papers better literature than they
havo written since they achieved
fortune. O. Henry's talent was re
pudiated by tho magazines and dis
covered by tho newspapers. Edgar
Allan Poe couldn't find publication
In the magazines for his Immortal
short stories. The newspaper nur
tured his genius. Guy Maupassant
wrote for the newspapers as do now
nearly all of the master writers of
Europe, including George Bernard
Shaw. It may safely bo asserted
that were a Kipling, Shaw, de Mau
passant, Balzac, 'Henry, Ade or
Dooley story offered to a magazine
to-day without the namo of the au
thor appended it would meet the
same fate as the work of these au
thors at first did, until their reputa
tions were made by the newspapers.
In the very nature of things tho
magazine must trade upon the estab
lished name. In the very nature of
things the newspapers must trade up
on Impersonal merit. It Is tho differ
ence between specializing and gen
eralizing. Each has Its field. But
with duo respect to tho magazine,
tho newspaper has not surrendered
its calling as tho first and tho last
expressions of tho mental life of the
nation.
TIIEATBE HATS.
The little mob caps that a'ro worn
at the theatre are a great improve
ment upon the butterfly bow confec
tions that havo been worn so often
and that are almost as bad as the
high crowned hats.
Tho mob cap Is made of silver or
gold net, or better still, tho gold
cloth and trimmed with gold lace,
wound about with tho ribbon of gold.
An aigrette of gilt stands up In the
front, or just a pert llttlo bow is
better still, for this makes no
height, to offend those who are sit
ting behind you at the theatre.
The Turkish turban la still -worn
at the theatro and is becoming to tho
woman of tiny features. It has the
folds of velvet wound about the face
becomingly, and the front of It Is
finished -with a bunch of flowers
You may chboso the sha'do for this
little hat, whether of red, green,
black .or velvet, and the, flower
brooch may bo of a rose or bud that
matches the volvet. Nothing can bo
dalntlor than these velvet turbans
if you can wear them., Of course,
they nug.tho choeks and ,aro .brought
down over tho, hair, so that they
reveal only tho perfect contour, nnd
naturally make the nose more promi
nent. Largo 'lints with "drooping brims
aro seen at the restaurants and also
on tho streets or In limousines when
milady Is calling or attending the
matinee. The hat, of course, Is cor
rect in a box at the theatre, but tho
fetching llttlo pokes and Normandy
caps, made of thargllt threaded laco
or lustrous velvets, are much moro
suitable and becoming7 for the oc
casion. TIio Dressy Kind o( Hat.
Both laco and malines are at the
height of fashion, and sometimes
both nre used on the same hat for
dress wear, lace being Tolled with
the airy malines. Sometimes a
touch of fur adds contrast, arid on
the same hat there may be a cluster
of the pretty little silk or chiffon
roses with their glistening metallic
leaves. The heavier laces, such afl
macrlne and Veniso nre used for
millinery, and these laces, laid on
folds of black mallne, and veiled
with more of the cloud-like stuff, aro
very rich in effect. All sorts of airy
trimmings are being thought out by
milliners to take the place of the
beautiful but prohibited aigrettes.
Paradise featliors, burnt coque, vul
ture and goura are all used, but of
all these the paradise feathers are
the most graceful, Tho odd little
jockery chapeaux of Paul Polret have
band .crowns that.t around over the
hair like a coronet and from these
emanate towering loops of malines,
which spring upward and fall back
like water into an electric 'fountain.
A hat of this sort, made of gold
braid studded with blue turquoise
and with black malines loops sprout
lng goyser-llke from tho top, was
worn recently by a fashionable young
lady. The funny llttlo hat accom
panied a frock of lustrous fabric
that looked like a silky permo mix
ture, which was veiled with a black
chiffon tunic, heavily weighted with
gold fringe.
Peacock Feathers In Vogue.
It Is a strange fact that many of
our novel hats are worn by middle
aged Women, who have" had supersti
tions for years about peacock feath
ers and these hats aro trimmed with
bands of peacock plumes and oth
ers are almost entirely covered with
the pretty breasts of the bird, as
well as Its tail feathers.
Again, we see little peacock orna
ments at the side of tho hat and we
wonder If woman is becoming more
sensible or, if she is such an admir
er of Dame Fashion that she will
follow her willy nllly no matter
what her fears may be in regard to
the bird of ill omen.
A hat of great charm was shown
this week In a fashionable milliner's
and was composed of black volvet;
the shape was small and decidedly
becoming to most features and con
tours of face. The 'brim turned up
at one side and rolled a little on the
other and this is always a safe
model for tho irregular features.
Over the crown a soft silver cloth
was draped and a wreath of hand
some pink roses encircled the crown
and was carried over to the left side,
where a handsome large volvet bow
fastened It and stood up at the side,
tall enough to add height.
This is one of the beautiful effects
and is not too dressy for afternoon
wear.
A Word For Hat Crowns.
The crowns are all so very, dis
similar that they truly need a word
of notice. Tho most' popular hat at
present has tho peaked crown. It
has the tall roof as well as trim
ming. The tailored hat may bo of
felt In any shade that matches tho
gown, but it has almost Invariably
the upturned, rather narrow brim
and tho square crown. It fits rather
snugly about the face and down over
the hair. The large hats, with the
wide sweeping 'brims have tho round
crown, dome shaped and not very
small; Nothing Is small In the way
of crowns, In fact, since the large
crowns appeared three years ago, we
have had no smaller ones of any per
ceptible account.
Another crown that makes a fur
ore at the present day, is the Tarn
O'Shantor. The soft velvet falls In
a square sort of pad on tho centre
of the hat and projects in tho same
manner as tho real Tarn O'Shanter.
It is a hat that is becoming to most
faces and is always becoming to the
young girl, and so Is selected by her
as a general favorite.
The soft felt aro exquisite in qual
ity and they are so expensive that
one really pays for the hat this sea
son as well as the trimming and
style,
Leavo your fine trimmings for your
picture-hat, or yoUr velvet turban
shapes and wear your tailor-made pf
finest quality with no trimming more
than a wing, a ribbon bow, or a tiny
ornament as the trimming. Feathers
may appear on something, but they
aro always moro appropriate for the
large hat.
Engineer Gets Honor Marks.
Under' a new system recently In
augurated by tho Erie,. certain marks
are given engineers for efficiency of
service. Among the marks for effi
ciency and care of engines, are a red
star on tho number plate and the en
gineer's name on the cab. Tho only
one to be thus honored among the
freight and coal trains on this divi
sion Is that of P. J, Nallln, who, with
number 742, pulls tho way freight
between Honesdale and Lackawaxen.
This train carries freight and express
and mall, tho latter between White
Mills and Hawley. Mr. Nallln was
born and Teared in Hawley and has
had Ais present run for about three
years. His fireman Is M. J. .Murphy,
formerly of this place, but now of
Honesdalo. It is asserted that Haw
ley has produced more railroad men
who etand high Jn tho service and
who now hold good and responsible
positions than any other town of its
size on the Erie. In casting over the
number wo believe the claim to pe
well founded. Hawley Times.
Gloves For Parties.
It is a good plan' when going to a
party to c'ovdt1 your hle. gloves by a
setiond pair thread In summer,
wbolen or silk In Winter. It Is as
tonishing what a saving that makes
in ono's glove bill, for opening taxi
or carriage doord or handling' money
to pay doed not lniproVd light gloVes.
Some women I knowxarry one pair
to travel In, rind chango as they near
tholr destination; but that la not
quite the same thing; To beglri with,
tho change la' likely 'to' be hurried,
and good gloves Should 'be' treated
with respect and put 6n rildwly! then,
at the end, the carriage door has to
be negotiated after all, and thb freshly-put-on
gl6Ves" will suffer. There
aro glovers who sell loosely-fitting
goves, Just for this purpose, made
without fastenings, so that, they can
bo slipped off In a twinkling.
KEEP YOUR FACT; YOUNG.
A bright expression Is tho first
thing to cultivate, for tho habit of a
worried expression depresses the
mind. Many women alldw their
mouths to -sag at tho corners, their
whole expression to express despon
dency and hopelessness; They feel
depressed and miserable and they
look It.
ThIS Is very bad for them in every
way. When you are depressed, Btand
in front of your glass and notlco the
effect of merely turning up instead
of down, the corners of the' mouth.
Turning them up means that yoh will
smile. Immediately you feel less
blue and more cheerful,
Tho Black Necktloi Order.
The Paterson Call says: "The con
ductors, agents, brakomen, etc., of
tho Erie" railroad company " must
wear black neckties hereafter, In ac
cordance with an order just issued
by Superintendent Parsons. Some
of them have been wearing red cra
vats, which made them look much
like anarchists." To which the Sus
sex Independent adds: "If. they
would let those conductors run
awhile through Port Jervls or over
the Susquehanna Railroad with its
soft coal engines, they wouldn't
havo to Issue any orders. Every
body and everything worn on these
trains havo been black the past sum
mer,. Including .the waists worn by
the ladles."
CONCERNING SKIRTS.
Skirts are being made slightly full
er than they were In the early part
of the season, but they are. still cut
with the long slim lines which will
prevail during the fall season.
Tho popularity of the panel hack
and front still holds. The newest
skirts have pleats Inset at tho "sides
to give the desired fullness.
The raised waist line with an in
side belt to keep it firmly In place
Is a feature on the modish models.
Separate skirts are' strictly tailor
ed, nnd those that don't show the
panel effect are either cut perfectly
plain, trimmed only with stitching or
have a simulated tunic effect ob
tained by the use of tho bands.
. A NEW; DISEASE.
Agents of the State Live Stock
Sanitary Board have been summoned
to Crawford and Lawrence counties
to investigate an outbreak of an un
diagnosed disease among tho hogs
on the farms of thoso counties; The
disease has spread rapidly and while
first considered hog cholera, is now
believed to be a new disease, and
will be vigorously fought by the
State, Examinations will be m'ade in
tho field and In laboratories In or
der to determine, the character of the
outbreak.
The State board's efforts to' Im
munize swine have been very suc
cessful In Allegheny, Ducks, Lancas
ter, Franklin, Luzerne and other
counties where heavy losses used to
occur from cholera which decimated
valuable herdB. The State is giving
this Inoculation service without cost,
the only requirement being that It
shall be administered by a register
ed veterinarian.
This nrfiVontlvn trnntmn,, f ...111
also be, tried in the infected district,
wuore single iarmers navo suffered
loss from $300 to ?GQ0 in the last
few weeks.
Tho State agents believe that they
will be able to control without much
difficulty the outbreak ofjglandors in
Columbia county. Practically all of
tho twenty-four head of horses which
brought tho disease into, tho State
navo been traced and aro being Iso
lated, together with animals with
which they come Into contact.
MAGNOLIA SCALE.
Tho Importance of knowing the life
history of Insects when planning to
destroy them is shown in the case of
tho Magnolia Scale a specimen of
which insect infesting the Magnolia
troo was sent to Prof: H. A. Sur
face, State Zoologist, Harrisburg,
Pa., containing free moving young
scale. Since these Insects are most
easily destroyed in this stage, Prof.
Surface advisod Immediate spraying
with some contact insecticide as fol
lows: The specimens you sent to us on
your cucumber tree aro called tho
.Magnolia scale. It Infests tho Mag
nolia or Cucumber and the Tulip
trees. I have seen it only on these
two varieties. It is our largest 'scale
insect. The young are crawling on
this branch at the present time,
showing when they appear. This Is
consequently an excellent time to
spray with a comparatively mild lri
sectlclde which will kill them.
Tho most Important time, by all
means, for tho' destruction of scale
Insects of any kind is while the
young are crawling. This shows
that from the middle to the latter
paTt of Septomber is the proper tlmo
for destroying this largest of the
scale Insects, which Is a Hemispheri
cal or Turtlo-shell scale often found
on Magnolia or Cucumber and Tulip
trees.
I recommend spraying with one
pound of whalo oil soap in six gal
Ions of water, or ono pound of ordi
nary soft eoap or ordinary .brown
soap In about three gallons of ;vvater,
or seven or eight per cent, kerosene
emulsion, or a very, strong tobacco
decoction. This is a remedy' that
will kin young scale-'Iiisbcts of all
kinds, and also plant lice.
This particular pest will , no
spread -to fruit- trees. It- Is often
held in check' by parasites. Where
thoso aro present they ar.e indicated
by a number of small holes In tho
shells of tho larger or mature Indi
viduals, tt Is best, however, to use
a stiray to exterminate them or con
trol them rather than to wait for the
ddvolopment of their parasites."
