AN OLD COLORED WOMAN'S VIEWS She Philosophizes on the Various Kinds of Employers. COMPLAINING MEN SERVANTS Written Exclusively for The Evening Star. 0’ WRITES FOR DE a papers, @oan yo’, \ honey?” remarked Sophronia Matilda as she flourished her dust cloth about the scribbling - woman's writing desk. Sophronia Matilda is housemaid in a big boarding —establish- ment — housemaid is — x her generic name. eS — House grandmother would more strictly describe her, as she is sixty years old, and has beheld her descendants even unto the third generation. Her face is tar black and her crinkly hair the color of milk, and looks like the ravelings of some fine, close- woven white fabric. A 25-cent piece would ride her upper Hp unendangered by any drawing of gravitation, and her nose looks as if it had been an active participant in a hard game of croquet. “I done work for a lady once,” went on Sophronia Matilda, who was plainly in a conversational mood, t her husban’ was @ newspaper man, an’ I like ‘em right well, too, but lan’ a gracious! I los’ so much sleep a trampin’ aroun’ the kitchen nights @ slep’ in ’e kitchen behin’ a cu’tain on a cot) a gettin’ things for that man to eat, ‘at I couldn’ stan’ it no way, an’ I jes had to leave. ‘ 2 “It mus’ be mighty nice now to be smaht enough to write for de papers,” she continued, picking up a paper weight and polishing it vigorously, as an excuse for re- maining. “I done wish I know how, for I tells yo’, honey, Ise got somefin on my min’ ‘at folks ought a know, an’ it’s de mistis problem, ‘at’s what it is,” she con- cluded, setting down the paper weight with emphasis “The what?" questioned the scribbling woman, “De mistis problem, de mistis problem: Ain’ you hear tell "bout de sarvant prob- lem? Well, ef I was a writin’ I'd write "bout jes de odder side, which is de mistis problem.” “What, don’t you lke your place?” I in- quired. “Laws, yes! I likes my place. I’se too ol’ an’ too smaht to git a place any mo’ ‘at I don’t like, but its odder folkes’ places, an’ odder folkses’ mistises what’s a woritin’ me. “Well, I'll tell you what I'll do,” replied the scribbling woman, who was curious to hear this black philosopher’s views. “I'll put down exactly what you say about this other side of the servant problem, while you stand there and tell ft, and then it will be the same as if you had written it, be- cause everything in it will be yours. Now begin.” Sophronia Matilda would have flushed with joy had her tint permitted. As it was she excitedly mopped her brow with the dust.cloth and said: A Hoss’ Life. “Lerame see t:ow, where'll I *mence at? Well,” she began, after a moment's re- flectior in de fuet place, de mistises tinks they’s the .on’y.ones as has any trouble,but I tells yo’ honey, bein’ in service, takin’ it de year roun’, is nothin’ but a. hoss’ life. “A dog’s life, do you mean?” I queried. “Deed I doan’, I means hoss’. A hoss ts druy, a dog on’y follers. Dat's de way wif us. We's druy. ‘An’ I’se done hear mistises,” she went on, “when I’se been a dustin’ or somefin in anothe’ room, tell deir gesses what a dref- ful time they was a havin’ a gittin’ dey new servants a used to dey ways. I jes lke to know now, if dey think it’s fun for us to git used to new mistises’ ways? One of °em will want you to do a thing so, an’ de next place where you works at, why aa wan’ it 'tirely diffunt, an’ dat’s how is. “I done hear ’em say too, ‘Oh, my maid’s such a drefful disagreeable girl. I cain’t a bear to have her roun’. I wonder if dey think they’s always so “mighty pleasan’? Folks as is always a wantin’ suffin’, ain’t ap’ to be, an’ mistises, of cose, is ailus and everlastin’ly a wantin’ suffin’—suffin’ cook- ed, suffin’ cleaned, suffin’ changed "bout de house, suffin’ done somewhere. Everythin’ *s always wrong an’ wese always a fussin’ to make it right. They’se a frettin’, an’ wese a tryin’ to fix things to suit ‘em. The Innumerable Requirements. ‘No, they mustn't be nothin’ wrong "bout /us,” went on Sophronia Matilda, bracing | they’se losin’ money on yo’ herself against the mantel, “but they all kin be as wrong as they’se a min’ to. We musn’ be skacely human. We musn’ have no chilluns, kase dey makes a noise in de kitchen, but de mistis kin have a house full of ‘em, an’ ev’y las® one jes’ a 1aisin’ Cain; we musn’ have no sweethearts, kase dey stops de work, kut young miss up stairs kin have ‘em gettin’ all roun’ de pa’lor; many’s the time we doan’®git no place to sleep, specially ef wese niggans, kase nig- gahs kin camp down anywhere; we mus’ buy all they ol" clothes they’se got through a wearin’, an’ have ’em tek the pay out o’ cur wages, or else they’se mad; we kin eat the vittles when they’se done got col’, but de mistis mvs’ have "em pipin’ hot, we mus’ go to de doah when de bell rings, a lookin’ as neat as a pin, even ef our han’s is in the flour, stove blackin’ or wash tub, whiles it teks de mistis, her own se’f, a half hour to git down af’ her gesses comes; if they keeps more’n one se'vant where we works at, like as not we has io sleep with some mighty mean cook or nursemaid. How'd white folks, now, like to get in ’e bed with no account stranger people? An’ if we changes places often, a tryin’ 4o git suited, why bimeby we skacely knows who we ts, an’ we ceriain’y don’ know whar we belongs at.’ Sophronia Matilda was clearly getting ex- cited over her woes, and to make a pleas- ant suggestion I said: “Well, you must now and then happen on a good mistress, Scphronia?” Many Kinds of Mistresses. “We happens on all kin’s, honey, "deed we does, an’ once in a gre’t while, of co'se, a good one; an’ I’m boun’ we sees more of de worl’, too, than de mistises do when they goes a travelin’ summers—though it’s mosely a had worl’, suree’nuf—kase they on’y summers, an’ we summess an’ winters bof; kase they on’y sees the outsides, an’ we sees de insides, too. “Lawd! but there’s all kin’s of white ladies in dis world’, an’ ’clar to goodness I don’ know which is de meanest. There's de mistis who bosses you ev’y minute an’ follers you roun’ ’e kitchen like a cat does a mouse she’s done cotched. One place where I worked at a week de mistis .ione follered me roun’ all 'e time I’se a gittin’ dinner, an’ if I drap one drap o’ grease cn de floor she make me scour it up right wif lye; even if ev’ythin’ on the stove was a- burnin’ up. “The next place I wen’ de mistis was young—hadn’t been married but a year, but she done had ten cooks an’ a baby, jes’ de same, an’ had moved twice—deed she had. She didn’t pay no ’tention to how you did things; she reckoned you could do the work of six niggahs; git up big dinners for company, ten’ baby, keep ‘e house clean, do de monsuses washes. I couldn’ stan’ her nohow, though she was a mighty nice little lady, an’ didn’ wan’ me to leave for nothin’. : “Then there’s the stingy mistises, what won’ leave enough for yo’ to eat when they get done through dinner, nor wor buy any more for yo’, an’ what’s so "fred if yo’ don’ work ev’y minit, that they'll set yo’ to scrubbin’ down outside stone steps in ’e freezinest kin’ of weather, when de scrub cloth jes’ freezes in yo’ han’s. “An’ there's the cheatin’ mistises, who reckons yo’ don’ know but mighty’ little figurin’ nohow, an’ who don’ give yo’ -all yo’ wages, for they pays yo’ a little bit at a time tiil you'se all mixed up, an’ then they say: ‘Sofrony Tildy, I done give yo" | three dollar an’ @ qua’ter las’ week. an’ two dollar an’ a half de week befo’, an’ fifty-six cents de week befo’ that, an’ four dollar an’ ten cents de time yo’ want’ yo’ bunnit; an’ thee dollar en’ a qua'ter, an’ two dollar an’ a hali, an’ fifty-six cents, an’ four dollar an’ ten cents, yo’ see, is twelve dollar—sayin’ it off ali so glib—so now you'se done paid up for this month.’ Oh, Lawd! They’se a ha’d set, they is. What They Expect. “An’ the things they'll say to their gesses "bout yo" when yo’ is a makin’ up beds or somefin’, an’ they thinks yo’ isn’t roun’! One of em done say once, when I was jes’ in the nex’ room: “«°Clar to goodness ef I don’ wish the ’mancipation proclamation never been is- sued, kase I’se got two niggahs down stairs I'd like to whip once a week.’ An’ then she an’ all her gesses laf fit to kill—an’ she a nothe’n lady, too. “Deed, I'd ruther work for southe'n ladies. They don’ expect one niggah to do ev’ythin’, kase they’se been used to this slave doin’ this thing, an’ that slave doin’ that thing; but nothe’n ladies thinks yo’ kin do de whole thing with all ’e extras thrown in. “That’s why I don’ like gen’al house- work,” explained Sophronia Matilda, “an’ I don’ do it no mo’, since I don’ got ‘speri- enced. I does housemaid’s work now. That's easy. Af’ I quit gen’al housework I nussed at fust. I like that, too; the deah little chilluns, they ain't oi’ enough to be mean, an’ they loves they ol’ mammy. I used to nuss in ev’y family till de chilluns done git big anough to be sassy, an’ then I'd say to de mistis: ‘I'se clean wore out; deed I is, an’ I reckon I'll tek a res’,’ an’ then I'd go an’ fin’ me another place where there was a little weeny baby. . “But tendin’ chilluns is a work as is never done, an’ I’se too ol’ now to have a plnee where I can’t res’ some, so I'se house- The Men Servants. “Do the men servants, too, think they have a bad time?” questioned the scrib- bling woman. “I don’ know what they thinks; men folks is mighty complainin’ critters, but they has it easy enough, jes de same, kase they don’ have much to do with the mistis. De coachman and footman, though, cain’t talk to each other when dey’se a takin’ her out drivin’, an’ dey musn’ even crack a smile. Dey mus’ jes set up.on ’e box, like them pug dog images them Italieners bring roun’ to sell. Oge place whar I work at dey bof got discharged for larfin’ (the foot- man said somefin mighty funny) one day, when they was a takin’ her out. They did, shore enough. “No, men servants has @ mighty easy time, kase the marsters ain’ hard to git along with. An’ marsters, lots of times, is better to se’vants dan mistises. Once, at a place where I worked at, a cut-glass punch bowl jes sailed out of my han’s an’ smashed all to pieces. I didn’ bre’k it—it jes’ flew out o’ my han’s like a bird, an’ bus’ itse’f. Lawd! but de mistis was mad! ‘Yo’ jes’ leave, an’ leave this minit, too,” says she, a glarin’ at me like a wil'’cat, ‘an’ not a cent of yo’ wages will yo’ git.” “‘When she done gone upstairs de marster come down jes’ like he lef somefin’ in ‘e dinin’ room, an’ he says, says he, sorto low lke: ‘Sophrony Tildy, here’s yo’ wages. Don’ say nothin’ "bout it to de mistis, but jes’ tek yo’ things an’ go ‘way quiet.’ Lan’! yes. Lots of gemmens is ‘fred of they wives!” “Sophrony,”. called the boarding house proprietress, from some nether region, “what on earth are you doing? You've been upstairs long enough to clean three houses.” “See,” said Sophronia Matilda, “I cain’t even stop a minit, but mus’ keep goin’ jes’ wae of dem big wheels what runs de cable.” But to her employer she responded: “Yaasm’, Ise a comin’. Them plaguey ol’ street sweepers kick up such a dust that it looks like yo’ never could git it off.” —_ ACETYLENE GAs. A Simple Way of Showing How Quick- ly It May Be Made. From the Philadelphia Times. Few economic discoveries more important than that of acetylene gas have recently been made. So much has: been said and printed about it that its nature is pretty well known to the public, but its marvelous cheapness as an,.illyminating agent, ag compared with ordinary gas, makes it an interesting subject for comment. It has been demonstrated by actual ex- periment that 1,000 feet of acetylene gas is qual in illuminating power to about 12,500 feet of the ordinary gas used in Philadel- phia, and as acetylene gas costs only about 25 cents per 1,000 feet, the difference in cost is the difference between $12.50 and 25 cents. That seems almost incredible, and yet it seems to have been established be- yond a doubt. The Scientific American illustrates a very simple and efiectual method of producing the new gas from the calcium carbide, as the new mineral is called, in the form in which it is used for this purpose, A piece the size of a pea, if dropped into a tumbler of water, will give off enough-gas to be lighted repeatedly as it bubbles up to the surface, but a more. effective experiment may be made with the apparatus shown in this cut. An ordinary glass jar and a large-sized lamp-chimney are used. In the top of the chimney fit a cork, paraftined arcund the edge to make it fit tightly. Make a hole in the center of the cork, and in it insert a tube fitted with a gas burner, the smallest size obtainable. Pass a piece of wire through the cork to one side of the pipe, on which suspend a wire-gauze basket to hold the calcium car- bide. The wire is bent at the tcp to give it a handle, and at the bottom to hold the basket. To make the experiment, the lamp-chim- ney is placed in the jar, water is poured in until it reaches to within an inch or two of the top, and a piece of the calcium carbide, about one-half the size of a walnut, is placed in the basket, which is drawn’ up pretty close to the cork. The cork is then placed in the top of the chimney and pressed down snug and tight, and the wire is worked slowly down until the basket becomes partly immersed in the water. The contact of the carbide with the water immediately causes an evolution of the gas, and the pressure from the gas makes the level of the water sink. If the cock be open, the gas and the air within the chimney begin to escape, and as soon 2s the odor from the gas becomes strong, & match may be applied to the burner. As the gas fs burned the pressure will de- crease, and the level of the water will rise in the chimney, thus brivging the basket, with the carbide in it,again im contact with the water, when more gas will be evolved. By this simple experiment a light may be obtained that will burn with great steadi- ness for about ten minutes. — anes The Trolley in Africa. From Barper’s Bazar.
