Points to Bear In Mind When Inter-
viewing a Maid.
“One of tbe reasons why some mis-
tresses are continually changing maids
Is that they do not give the girls a fair
Idea of what will be expected from
them,” said a woman recently. “I
have in mind one such mistress, who
Js constantly changing her parlor
maid. Now. the fact of the matter is
that she expects her parlor maid to
act as lady’s maid also, but she never
says so when interviewing a girL
“The applicant is not told that look-
ing after her mistress’ wardrobe, at-
teding upon her at her toilet, mend-
ing and doing up her lace, etc., will
be included in her duties.
“A girl - taking this situation who
really wishes to do her parlor work
efficiently finds she has not the time
to do it in. and she naturally soon be-
comes dissatisfied and gives notice or
else she does her parlor work badly
because she is so hurried over it, and
then her mistress—not reasonably, of
course—is dissatisfied and soon finds
herself on the hunt again in search of
the not to be found person who will
do two people’s work properly for one
salary.
“It is far fairer when engaging a
maid, to be perfectly candid as to what
her work will be. The above case is.
of course, an extreme one. but stil' it
is this sort of thing—the painting of
situations in colors that are too glow
ing— which causes frequent changes in
many households. The maids are not
given a fair idea of tbe work they will
be expected to do. and naturally when
they arrive and find that it is a much
harder place than they were led to
xpeet they become dissatisfied.
“It is far better, if necessary, to in-
• rview a dozen servants until you find
•0 willing and competent to under-
'te the work required than to de-
ribe the situation you offer in tempt-
;ag terms, engage a girl who doesn’t
In the least know what the place is
really like, have a period of domestic-
friction and then have a look for an-
other.
“For instance. If there are many
■tairs in your house It is wise to tell
the applicant so. If she Is not strong
•he will, if she Is wise, at once refuse
the situation, for stairs are very trying
In such a case. This is far better than
at the end of a week to hear, T am
sorry, ma’am, but I can’t stand the
stairs and would like to leave when
my month Is up.’
“Then some people will say, ‘Oh, we
•re only two in the family, so it is a
▼ery light place.’
“They apparently do not think it nec-
essary to mention that' they, have re-
lays of visitors who are as much trou-
ble ns a iarge family would be, but
they are surprised when, in spite of it
beiug a light place, tbe servants will
not stay.”
The Tallest Cook.
Housekeepers who are in a great
quandary between their consciences
and their unsatisfactory cooks may get
out of the dilemma of a recommenda-
tion by copying tbe unique methods
i of Mr. Richard Carle, the actor, when
he found himself in just such a deli-
cate position.
The cook, so the story goes, was a
giantess just from Sweden, who fail-
ed to fulfill her high mission as a
cook in a way to please the Carle fam-
ily. On departing she asked for a rec-
ommendation, and this is what Mr.
Carle presented to her:
“To Whom It May Concern—I have
lately bad in my employ Hulda Swan-
son, who was engaged to cook for a
family of three and do such things as
would be possible when not cooking.
Under this head might come a little
dusting and dishwashing and answer-
ing the doorbell. Taking these things
into account, I wish to say that Hu Ida
is absolutely the tallest c*sok I ever
saw.”

Afternoon guests at a certain house
look forward with satisfaction to tb'e
soft molasses gingerbread that is often
part of the tea service. This is the

of flour, half a teaspoonful of salt and
half a teaspoonful of soda are sifted
together, and a teaspoonful of ground
ginger is added. Three-quarters of a
cupful of molasses is. turned in, with
two tablespoonfuls of melted drippings
and half a cupful of hot water. The
batter is turned into a shallow’ pan.
shredded nuts are sprinkled over the
top, and the cake is baked for twenty
minutes in an oven that is not too hot.

To clean rusty and blackened knives
use half a raw potato dipped in brick-
dust.
Do not use a brass kettle for cook-
ing until it is thoroughly cleaned with
salt and vinegar.
Tumblers which have contained milk
should first be rinsed in cold water be-
fore washing in hot water.
Never put meat directly on the ice,
but always on a plate, .-is direct con-
tact with the ice will destroy its fla-
vor.
Granite ware should not be left to
dry over a hot fire, as the heat in ex-
panding may cause the outside to
scale.
Fish, lemons and cheese or any
strongly flavored food should not be
placed in the same compartment with
milk and butter.
When material is being dyed it
should be stirred well. This allows
the dye to penetrate to all parts alike,
thus producing an even shade.
To take out dye stains from the
hands use cornmeal, pumice stone or
fine sand or a little chloride of lime
in water. Many stains can be re-
moved with vinegar or lemon juice.
Royal Jewels In Pawn.
The ex-Sultan Abdul Aziz pawned all
his crown jewels for a million francs
at the Mont de Piete at, Paris, and
they were only just redeemed by the
Moorish government in time to pre-
vent their being sold among other un-
redeemed goods.
The sword of state, which is regard-
ed in Servia as a sacred relic, was also
pawned by a former king, while one
well known European monarch found
himself in such straitened circum-
stances that the famous house of At-
tenborough once temporarily had pos-
session of all his old silver.
Queen Isabella was, however, the
most famous royalty who made no
secret of the fact that she raised mon-
ey’ upon the security of the portraits
of her ancestors, which hung on the
walls at the palace Catile, her Pari-
sian home. The royal lady’ often de-
clared how deeply she was indebted to
her royal forbears for coming to her
rescue and helping her’out of her finan
cial predicaments.—London M. A. P.

A Hard Hearted People.
Filial piety finds no place in Tibetan
character. It is no uncommon thing
for a son to turn his father, when too
old for work, out of doors and to leave
him to perish in the cold. The supersti-
tion that the souls of the dead can,
if they will, haunt the living drives
their hardened natures to gain by the
exercise of cruelty the promise of the
dying that they will not return to
earth. As death approaches the dying
person is asked. “Will you come back
or will you not?” If he replies that
he -will they pull a leather bag over
his head and smother him. If he says
he will not he is allowed to die in
peace.
The Road to Success.
Just tack this up somewhere wherf
you can see it:
Success consists in getting otft ol
j yourself everything that’s in you. I:
does not consist in doing almost qultf
ns much or a little more than the oth-
er fellow. What the other fellow does
doesn’t amount to a dent in a door-
knob so far as you are concerned.
The fact that he succeeds by laying
an Atlantic cable, building an Eiffel
tower, inventing wireless telegraphy or
cornering the world's supply of oil
doesn't make you a failure because you
haven't got enough ready money to
buy an automobile. You’re successful
when you put to some useful purpose
every ounce of energy, every grain of
gray matter, every mite of muscle that
you’ve got. You’re successful when
you’ve developed all there is to you
and have given that to the world.—
