THE ROUTINE WAY. to Home Comfort. picturesque part of housework—to ar- range the flowers and the pictures in | the parlor and the china in the dining- | room and the bright tins in the kitch- en. But it isa vastly more laborious matter to attend to the daily routine of | the household in those matters that | taste or the im- | do not appeal to th agination—-to watch servants, and yet | not appear to watch them, or to guard against the sources of contamination | and uncleanliness which are forever cropping up even in the most carefully cared for household. The secret of perfect housekeeping lies chiefly in routine and system, and they mean drudgery. It has been said of old that new civilizations are less governed by routine methods than old estab- lished nations. Law and order pioneer colonies are apt to be unde mob sway, and from the housekeepin of a government the family house keeping takes its pattern. American households are hardly amenable to the strict routine of the British household. This is in part to the servant question, but As a rule, yet question in this country are due to the want of system in the matter of refer- ences, given and received. For the comfort of every individual in the z household, it is necess¢ that the hours of nag and for me should 4 be regular. It is one of the small essentials very necessary to universal comfort. Servants should have their certain duties to perform at certain hours, and should be made to understand that they should be performed at the time given and not at another time. The hing should bave its set day as is the com- mon rule, and the ironing > 4 done and folded by a cer s the week, making allowance in the 3 time given for del caused by stormy weather so that no excuse of st fais or other hindrance should set it back be- yond the limit given. This can easily be done. ‘Two regular baking days should be set rt in the week, as also regular i sand days for cleaning windows and brushing blinds, and for scrubbing kitchen clos- ets and floors and cellar. Housekeep- ers should arrange that the table is cleared and the dining-room dusted after each meal and before a cert hour. If it is clearly understood by the maid of all work or the kitchen maid that the dining-room must be swept, cleared and dusted before nine o’clock in the morning, she will easily drift into this order and hardly realize that she is working under routine. An immense amount of work is lost by a servant's flying from one object to an- other or beginning one piece of work befove another is accomplished. Thorough system will abolish this and servants themselves will early find that they have more leisure on their hands by doing their work in an orderly manner. As arule, in families where such a system is instituted, servants remain a longer time and in greater content than in an easy-going house- hold where matters slide in a slipshod way.—N. ¥.

How a Russian Confidence Man Victimized Two Tradesmen. An ingenious stroke of business has been done by a swindler who is now being sought for by the Moscow police. A young man of respectable appear- ance rec eony, entered a jeweler’s shop, selected 4,000 roubles’ worth of trink- ets, paid down a sum of 500 roubles on account, took the jewelry and ex- plained that if an assistant would ac- company him to the neighboring office of a well-known wholesale baker the valance of the sum due would be at once handed over. The baker in question was in the habit of contract- ing for supplying large establishments with bread; and as he was notoriously | @wealthy man, an assistant was al- lowed to accompany the adventurer to his house. Of course the swindler had already visited the baker and made him an innocent accomplice. On entering the office the adventurer said to the baker in an off-hand way: “This man will take the 3,500 that you have arranged to let me have. He has had 500 roubles from me. Please take his receipt and oblige me by attending to him quickly. | Imust be off. Good day!” The ba- | ker’s reply was a respectful ‘‘Certain- ly, sir; good day.” He told the as- sistant to sit down a few minutes, and ished. When at last the baker, after listening at various tubes and making | his replies, announced: have you to carry it in?” for the first time it dawned upon the victim that in certain circumstances ‘3,500" might |; allude not to roubles, but to loaves.

It is | from this class that our future capital- ists will spring. They are all living within their income, and practical self-denial for the glorious privilege of being independent. How is that done? There is a baker living near Burnet woods who dwells in a very comforta- ble house of his own, which he has bought and paid for out of his own earnings. He was working for $12 a week and labored for twenty-three out of twenty- four hours, his neighbors said. In re- ality he worked but an ordinary work- ing day of ten hours. Before he was married he boarded, and his whole ex- penses were $4 per week, with some- thing extra for clothes. When he had accumulated a little h he invested in a $300 lot. On this he borrowed some money from a building ocia- tion an! put up a $1,500 house. He watched his opportunity, saved every nickel and improved his place.

An American Lady Who Was a Guest at the Royal Palace of Siam. To dine with the King of Siam was the rare privilege of an Allegheny County lady recently. Miss Kate N. Fleeson, of Neville Island, was the lucky guest, and letters have just been received by her friends giving an ac- count of the royal feast. Miss Flee- son left Pittsburgh a year ago as a Presbyterian missionary to the far- away land. It required almost seven months’ continual traveling before she reached Lakawn, her destination in Siam. It appears that the King and Queen both regard Protestant missionaries with favor, and the evangelistic work | in their domains has received many ; marks of imperial pleasure. Miss Flee- a 9-cont the wealthiest dry world for Cuts, Fever Chiblains Skin Eruptions, and posi- %, Or no pax required It > give pertect satisfaction son, with several other missionaries, was in Chieng Nai about the middle of June, several di before she came to the end of her journey. The King’s invitation to the party to dine in his new summer palace was conveyed by the Queen. It was accepted, and it was understood it would be nothing more than an informal dinner. When the party entered the palace they were shown to the general recep- tion chamber, and were seated on di- vans upholstered with Persian rugs. Drinking mugs of gold and silver were then given each visitor and these were quickly followed by a waiter bearing asolid gold chest filled with ‘‘betel.” This the guests could not eat, and the attendants, seeing their embarrass- ment, brought them tea in china cups and saucers. Then they were introduced to the King. He is a charming old gentle- man, dressed in pure white, with gold and purple trimmings. He led the way to the banquet hall. The table beautiful with silverware of cost- liest designs and cut-glass vessels. The dinne! a good American meal, but it was quite extensive, being served in twenty courses. A conversation was conducted by the King in a formal manner. After the repast his High- ness summoned the palace acrobats to the stage at the threshold of the ad- joining room. They performed skill- ful tricks and feats for the next hour. Miss Fleeson describes this part of the entertainment as being somewhat of a bore. Miss Fleeson had another treat in the shape of an elephant ride from Chieng Nai, toLakawn. It lasted three days and s through a very wild sec- tionofSiam. Th»y tented in the woods at night. There were five elephants in the train, and the young lady says the swaying and rocking was not un- like that of a ship at sea. ‘Lhere were many high mountains to climb, and general surprise was expre d at the easy way in which the big elephants accomplished the task. — Pittsburgh Dispateh. ee iderit Wins.
