Good form

Servants’ References. The utmost formality should be observed when writing references for servants. The employers are judged by the writing quite as much as the woman who is the subject of the communication. As a servant’s written reference to likely to go Into the hands of persons who are total strangers to the writer, it to best to employ the third person in the note. The communication should always begin with the name of the former employer. Care should be taken to put Into the reference the reason of a inaid’s leaving, for it is the first question asked of the woman when she is seeking a new place. Another important point in the communication is that the servant’s honesty should be vouched for if the former employer beiieves in it. It is also wise to Include in the written character the fact that the woman to a good worker If she has so proved herself. For her own protection a person writing a reference should date it not only with the month, but with the year. Otherwise if the woman’s character should change as time passes the person who vouched for her formerly will find herself indorsing an individual as she would not do later perhaps. Such a communication should always be written in ink.

Lady and Gentleman. There are some persons who seem to imagine it Impolite to allnde to a woman as a woman and are bent on call ing her a lady, while others allude to a man as a gentleman. It is always more correct to say “a nice girl” where the word girl to admissible (and nowadays an unmarried woman of forty may pose as a girl provided she looks like one) Or where it to not to allnde to a woman as a pleasant or a charming or an attractive woman. Yon talk of a sweet or a delightful woman, not of a sweet or a delightful "lady,” but In the case of an elderly dame you occasionally say “a dear old lady” and “such a kind old lady,” “lady” being used as a mark of reverence for age. But, however old a man may be, be is always a man. never a “gentleman,” in conversational language. “A clever man” or “a charmlig man” is often alluded to, but never “a clever gentleman” and "a charming gentleman.” Cradle Song. Hush thee, baby, night Is near: One bright star is shining clear; Now the moon, a silver bow. Hangs above our cottage low. Hush thee, baby, close thine eyes; Darker grow the evening skies.

Humor and Philosophy

By DVNCAN M. SMITH

TTOWEVER questionable it may be about the world owing you a living, there can be no doubt that you owe yourself one. Many people have excellent aim, but somehow they don’t seem to understand what is game worth while. There is a heap of difference between nerve and nerves. There’s many a sip between the cup and your lip. Heiresses don’t Like to have the date 1 blown in the glass. i , Many a man has found matrimony a sort of lecture bureau. As long as a man’s credit to good be isn’t supposed to be in debt at aIL There is reason in everything except a woman, and she can do without it — just because. Lots of people enjoy being fools as long as they aren’t found out. ” T a man’s education isn’t complete until he takes a finishing course from his wife. Humility is the most pleasing to ns when it adorns our enemies. Married men should be thankful that they don’t have to sew on the buttons before they hook up the dress.

The Modern Wizard. The scientific farmer Is all the goods today. Soil Joggling is his hobby And training It his play. He takes a bit of landscape And figures to a dot Which crops on it will prosper And which will fade and rot. It isn’t many seasons ’ Since farmers east and west Looked down on the professor As something of a jest. With their old fashioned notion* _ His ways were out of tune. They planted their potatoes According to the moon. But now those days are over. His hand Is at the plow. He plans the crop rotations And tells the natives how. He orders beans or barley. Potatoes, oats or peas. And an abounding harvest H® fully guarantees. No more Is brawn and muscle The farming man’s first aid. ’Tis not by sweat and lifting That now he learns the trade. He takes his little booklet And reads a page or so. And, following directions, His crops are bound to grow. Trying to Rebuke. “Isn’t she perky?” b “Yes. She evidently knows there are people looking at her.” “Say?” “Well?” “Do you think she wants to censure them?” Precaution. "You are going to get married, I hear.” “Yes.” , “Yon ought to get your life insured first” .... w “Is it as dapgerous as all that?”

SEA LION ACTORS

Captain Kent’s original conception, the- wonderful group of comedy-playing, music-making and deft-juggling seals, exhibited by the Gollmar Brothers and performed by their trainer, present without doubt the most unique display of animal training ever attempted. A casual glance at a number of these curiously formed creatures as they lie basking in the sun-shine on some rocky wave-washed cliff, which lifts its apex above the surrounding ocean, or perhaps as in the distant Arctics, as they lie in wait for food on the frigid shore-line of huge floating mountains of ice, would lead the onlooker to think them the least tractable of animals. Nature has apparently not provided them with symmetrical limbs, with which to move upon land, nor has she endowed them with the advantages possessed by many sea-living creatures, yet this seemingly almost helpless beast is one of the most capable of the lower animals as is most surprisingly shown by the marvelously exact difficult feats of juggling,- balancing and catching, accomplished by the members of Captain Knet’s troupe, while their conception of comedy is plainly shown by the many funny situations presented in their hu-man-like exhibitions, in which they exact actual comedy plaj r s. That they enjoy music is beyond question. Captain Kent has among his troupe a number of seals who actually approach a melody in their songs, while their performance on musical instruments, though not rivaling a Maestro in a musical sense, still show them to be interested in producing a sound. Captain Kent is the originator of this special class of trained animal acts. While on a cruise in the seas far north, a number of years ago, Captain Kent was ice-bound for a number of months off the northeast coast of Greenland, and here, far away from the civilized world, home and friends, during the long sunless days of an Arctic winter, the first troupe of performing seals was perfected. With a score of these furry-coated pets as his only companions, save his ship’s company of hardy sailors, he was given an opportunity to study their natures and possibilities, of which he has taken full advantage in perfecting them An their astonishing performances. While it is* true that others have since attempted to imitate his accomplishments, though with less than indifferent success, he is the originator, and so far the only really successful trainer of seals for exhibitional purposes, and his act stands today alone, the most unique trained animal show the world has ever seen. Throughout the old world, where Captain Kent Ijas heretofore exhibited his company of Oceanic Actors, they have met with the most emphatic success. t These Sea Lion Actors and musicians come as a special feature with the Gollmar Brothers Circus which exhibits here today.
