~SWELL PEOPLE" SERVANTS. “
They Are Far More Patronizing Than
Their-Masters.
“I wonder if I’m more ofzazsnob than
most people,” remarked little Mrs. Can-
‘ .
. dour, confidentially, to the 'New York
”Tribune man, “for I must plead guilty
to being dreadfully afraid of smart
:servants'l The only set of individuals
beforezwhom I actually .quail are the .
ladies’lladies and the gentlemen’s gen— j
tlemen. With their masters or mis-
tresses II can hold my own fairly well; ‘
their wealth and grandeurado not over- -.
awe 'me a bit. But the :servants dis-
tinctlyadepress and in 'a way humilate ;
me,:for I feel so vexed with myself that ‘
I have so little self-respect as to mind :
Nevertheless, I do, and I fancy I

them.
edge it. The other evening, for in-
stance, we were dining-at the Midases’
and fl began to feel uncomfortable as
soonas we left the cab.
““Wait until we are inside of the
house: I said to :the driver, feeling'
guiltily conscious that I wanted the fi
footman to see that we did not arrive
in the ‘ ’bus.’
“"Why?’ inquired my husband, inno— J
cently (men are so stupid, they never
suffer from these aristocrats of the
kitchen).
“"‘Oh,’ I answered, feebly, ‘perhaps
it’s the wrong night, 019—. ’Why can’t
he stay?’ I exclaimed, petulantly.
“ "Why, certainly, Tessie, if you want
him to; I don’t mind," .said poor Jack,
bewildered.
“Inside the door was another foot-
man and Mrs. MES own maid, who
looked critically at my home-made
gown and shook out my skirts with
proud humility. You know the Midas
house and how the room in which they
receive their dinner guests is beyond
the big drawing-room; so, although I
was longing to ask Jack if my hair was
all right and receive the comforting
assurance, which he always gives, dear
fellow, that I looked ‘awfully fit,’ I felt
rather than saw that the butler was
waiting patiently and reproachfully to
usher us through the anteroom and an-
nounce us. ‘Come,’ I said to myself as my
glove wouldn’t go on and I felt that the
battery of observant,calmly critical eyes
was more than I could endure, ‘do re-
member, you snobbish little thing, that
you are as good as Mrs. Midas’ butler,
anyway,” and, rallying my self-respect,
I deliberately finished buttoning my
glove and swept haughtily through the
rooms. -
“ ‘By Jove, Tessie,’ said Jack after-
ward, ‘you looked like a regular little
queen of Sheba. What made you so
grand?’
' “ ‘It was the instinct of self~preserva-
tion,’ I answered. ‘I simply had to
assert myself to keep from feeling ut-
terly overwhelmed.’ ”
HOW HISTORY IS MADE.
A Curious Story of 8. Recent Important
International Episode.
The following interesting little story
appears in a London weekly paper
called Society:
“Talking of the present ministry, let
me give the true story of Sir‘E. Grey’s
making the grave statement in the
house of commons. A friend of mine,
a rather brilliant man, was called upon
by the editor of a weekly paper to write
the leader for him. The editor had not
yet got thoroughly over his influenza,
and the friend agreed to it. He wrote
the leader on the French aggressive-
ness in Africa, sent .it to the printer,
where it was set up and forwarded to
The latter, not approving
of the subject, transmitted the proof,
and said: ‘My dear boy, you agreed to
write on Armenia, not Africa. This is
of no, interest to the general public.
The wires about the French on the
Niger and the reported march on the
Soudan are probably pure inventions.
In any case, the attack on Sir E. Grey
for his vague generalities is hardly the
thing,’ and so on.
“My friend simply took the proof,
and writing on it: ‘This is going into
an important paper, and is the true
feeling of the English people,’ popped
it into an envelope, and sent it down to
Sir E. Grey at the house of commons.
It was posted in the Strand at 4:15 p.
,m., and would be delivered at West-
minster probably about 6:30 p. m. At
8 p. In. the meeting of the cabinet was
hastily convened by Sir E. Grey, and at
10 p. In. he made the statement which
has shaken all the bourses of Europe.
The following morning came the edit-
orial Wire to -my friend: ‘I see the im-
portance of your article, now and shall
use it.’ ” I __
OUR ANCESTORS WE-‘RE HEROIC.
They Shed Their Blood Not Only on the
“ Field of Honor.
The following extract from a letter
written by Dr. Rush, of Philadelphia,
published; in New York, April 13, 1795,
is “reminiscent of the Spartan treatment
to whiéh qur ailing ancestors submitted
themselves, in' the primitive days of

tent fever of last autumn, accompanied
only with ‘pleuriticn symptOms, which
' 2' symptoms are by no means universal.
It requires not only very copious bleed-
: ing, but~daily purges with calomel and
‘ "2 jalop to subdue it. By means of these
remedies I have, out of upward of one
hundred cases, lost only two patients,
and they were in the last stages of the
disorder when I saw them. I have in
one, case. been forced to take one hun-
dred and twenty ounces of blood at
thirteen bleedings in eight days before
the disease yielded, and in another
case I have taken thirty ounces of
blood at four bleedings in seventeen
hours. The pulse in the last case was
so low as scarcely to be perceptible. It
rose in the most sensible manner after
each bleeding. The patient, a delicate
lady, is now out of danger. From Ob-
servation I have long ago made, and
which experience has lately confirmed,
I am satisfied that when physicians are
not almost uniformly successful in cur-
ing febrile diseases, they are under the
influence (of erroneous theories, or, if
their theories be true, their practice is
too feeble to overcome the disease.”
MODEST TON—GEE.
The Witty Reply of an Irish Hospital
Patient.
Adoctorshou‘ld be a master Of push
and parry, if he would get the better of
of his sickness. Dr. Roosevelt, in an
article, “The Hospital,” published in
Scribner’s, tells how he was once
wOrsted in 'a professional interview at
laborer. The doctor writes:
his face, buteven more by the unmis—
takable evidences of hard drinking
which he presented. After asking some
other questions, I suddenly said:
“You have been drinking pretty hard,
have you not?”
He looked at me with the most en-
gaging of Irish smiles, and gravely in
formed me that he had not done so to
any extent, adding: "‘Well, you know,
I’m a longshoreman, and av coorse
we’ve beenon a strike, and that manes
that ivery wan had several drinksa
«lay, so perhaps I did take a little.”
After awhile I told him first to hold
<out his hands, which were shaky. Then
I asked him to put out his tongue.
' This was very tremulous, and I said,
rather sharply:
“What makes your tongue shake .so
much if you have nO’t been drinking?”
Looking at me in the most humble
manner, he answered without hesitat-
g:
“Well, I don’t know, sir, unless it’s
the modesty of that organ at bein’
thrust into ‘prominence in the sight Of
such a foine gintleman.” I changed the
subject.
TRADE IN HUMAN HAIR.
The Custom of Renting the Heads of
Whole Families by the Year.
There are wholesale firms in Paris
which send around agents in the spring
toyarious Breton and other villages.
These gentlemen, says All the Year
Round, are provided with ribbons, silk
laces, haberdashery and cheap jewelry
of various kinds, paying for the
maidens’ tresses 'in these goods or ‘in
ready money. So far as personal
beauty is concerned, these Breton laces
do not lose much in losing their hair,
for it- is the fashion in thatdpart of
France for maidens to wear a close
cap, which entirely prevents any part
of their hair being seen.
Some years ago the light German
hair was held in such esteem by the
hair merchants that they gladly paid as
much as eight shillings an ounce for
small quantities of it—nearly double
the price of silver. Light hair is col-
lected from Germany by agents of a
Dutch company, who make yearly visits
to various parts of the Germania states.
The black hair imported comes mostly
from Brittany and the south of France,
and is, as a rule, very fine and silken.
Whithin the present century the
heads of hair of whole families in
Devonshire were let out by the year.
An Exeter periwig maker went around
periodically, cut the locks, and oiled
the ground thus left in stubble to
stimulate a fresh crop.

WASHINGTON, May 26,—Chief Justice

eral for the purpose of securing a decision

neutrality lawa and their effect in prevent-
ing fliibustering expeditions against
friendly powers. Wiborg was the captain

reptitiously in Cuba. They were found
guilty under the neutrality laws in the
