There were forty boarders who would have to go without warm meals unless something was done. They took matters in their own hands, subdivided the work, and everything is going along pleasantly. The women Yoard- ers take turns cooking, the men wait on the table, and everybody is en- joying it. Cooking comes natural to some women, and they like it. Other women have a taste for setting the table and arranging furniture and mak- ing the house look attractive. Other women take to children and enjoy looking after them. These boarders are doubtless much better off doing the household work than idly spending their summer gossiping, flirting, and otherwise killing time. There is a valuable suggestion here toward the troublesome servant Problem. Women servants are discontented because they have not the social life of shop girls and factory girls. Their hours are indefinite and interminable, and although the pay is better than in the stores and fac-) tories, and the hours of actual toil are not longer, the difficulty of procur- ing willing and competent servants is greater every year. If the women who are constantly complaining over thelr servant] troubles would try the experiment of the Bay Ridge boarding-house there would be fewer divorces and fewer complaints about servants. Any woman, or man either, who does not regularly do something useful will! THE FALSTAFF OF THE NATIONS. By 1. E. Powers.

Failing to find a purchaser for hia tuckmarker, he went back to his trade of carpentry, At this he lost money, and at jast had left only the tools of hi profession. He carried home Mis tools, vowing never to use them again; and the next day carried his tuckmarker to the Willcox & Gibbs Company’s Chicago office. He was known to L. Cornell, of the firm, Ho was a desperate man, with starvation sturing his family and himself in the face. In this mood he tackled Cornell and mace a masterly effort with the rudely made and roughly finished device that he exhibited upon the machine. It did the work well, and at length he was rewarded with an order for one dozen of the tuckmarkers. The three miles back to his little home were trod lightly. He proceeded at once to his chest of tools and selected several articles. “Where are you going?" asked his wifo. m golng to take these too's out and sell them,” teplied Goodrich, “What for?" faltered the alarmed wife, who at once suspected his purpose. “To buy materials and tools to make tuckmarkers with.” sald Goodrich, ou shall not do such a fooltsh thing.
