8 THE AMERICUS WEEKLY TIMES-RECORDER: FRIDAY, JOE 19, 1891. CHOOSING A SERVANT.' La* Eri*. Va., OPINIONS OF SEVERAL INTELLI GENCE OFFICE KEEPERS. With Ortllii TrouUlc J I*n»!iillt‘(l Help tire C hl.f :i—that' ally t justice t« Hard working (ilrlu. A small tow headed buy, with a vacant look on his face, ami a thumb worn old blankbook in iii^ dirty hands, sit; ing on a short stool liefort* a litters! desk, whis tling in a lazy, half hearted tone: a small , stove emitting a fierce heat in an indig nant sort of way. as if disgusted with Itself and its surroundings: nine rickety chairs, set in rows along the walls; a faded old carpet, asmoke stained ceiling and a rickety table—these are the ole jectsof furniture iu a small square room one one of the east side avenues. The interior of the r<>mn is screened from the view of passers by a dingy blue curtain drawn over the lower half of the windows. A legend in faded yellow ■—once gilt—letters over th»* door and on the windows announces that servants may be hired there. This is a typical “Employment Agency,’* A reasonably careful observer will we maeiy curious things in an hour in one of these agencies. It is always e;isy to get high priced help. There is plenty of j Bon it. But the less skilled and lower priced Bervicfc is hard to obtain. That is the kind most of the agencies have to do with. Nine out of ten of the agents will tell you that the great trouble in secur- j ing satisfactory help is with the employ, j remlil sii’il investigation goes to show that they are right. VARIOUS OPINIONS, agents say that the business has changed greatly in the hist few years. “Twenty years ago,” said one of them recently, “when a young couple set up housekeeping they expected to start a permanent establishment. The women in tho4>e days were familiar with house work from their own house training. They were not ashamed go into the kitchen occasionally and give the green help a little instruction. Then, too, we got a great deal of gjeen help from the constant immigration which stopped here. Now, all that is changed. The women either don’t know enough, or are too high toned to go into their kitchens and give their cook a j>ointer when things don’t go right. And the supply of green help from immigrants is cut off. They don’t stop here any more. They go on out west, where the old way Jias not changed #o much for the wfefce. It’s almost impossible to get the ordinary plain help now.” “Very few people knowhow to engage help,” said another agent. “They come here and talk to the girls for an hour at a time, and they don’t know enough to pick out the one who will suit them. Four-fifths of the time they go to telling ‘what I said to my hist cook,’ or ‘what she said to me,* and the upshot of it is they make the girl think the place is too bard and she won’t go, whereas if they went at it in a businesslike way they could soon be suited.” “Yes,” said a third agent, “the ever lasting shifting is making a lot of trou ble now. It’s a rare thing for a girl to have a place more than a few months, even when she gives the best satisfaction. People go to Europe for the summer and go to Florida for the winter, and keep bouse in the intervals between their pleasant trips. Then they growl because they can’t get first clqps help. They’re the people that do the kicking. They want servants to show references for years of service when they only expect to hire them for a few weeks or months.” TWO AGENCIES. There are two inside rooms at the place above described where girls looking for work wait for possible employers. They come early in the morning and wait un til the office closes at 4 o’clock in the afternoon. When an employer comes the agent politely offers a chair and in quires into the needs of his customer. He then goes into one of the inner rooms and looks over his supply. The accom plishments and pedigree of each one iu the inside rooms have been fully noted down when they applied to the agent, and he is pretty familiar with them all. He selects what one he thinks will best satisfy the visitor, and indicates with p graceful wave of the hand the one to whom the aspirant for work is to ad dress herself. Sometimes a bargain is stmek almost immediately. There is an employment office in Sixth avenue that is just a little different from any of the rest of them. It is run by a woman, a clear headed, gray eyed Eng lish woman, who was for years the housekeeper for a well known New Yorker. Her clientage is almost wholly among the wealthy people. And the peculiar part of it is that they scarcely ever visit her office. She has a whole deskful of letters which say, “You know* just what 1 want, and 1 trust you to get it for me ” Some day this woman will wake up to the fact that she has a valuable lot of autograph letters from many of the best known women of this city, w ith not a faw. from Philadelphia, Washington, Baltimore and other towps. An auction sale of these autographs would interest a great many people and be very profit able to her.—New York Sun. A Practical Jofcr. Tramp—You gave me a counterfeit $.j hill a few moments ago.

In Berlin the electric arc lamp poles are things of beauty. They are more properly bracket* than poles, though.

At the sidewalk Regina a handsome scroll work affair of iron, which i nns uj the house and then out over the street, supporting the arc lamp. Near the base is a panel door provided with lock and key. Back of the panel is a Compart ment bolding the fuse strips and switch, and a handle which fits on the square head of a windlass shaft projecting from one side of the compartment. The lamp trimmer comes along iu the morning, unlocks thq panel door, exam ines the fuse strii>s, throws the switch, takes out the. little handle, turns the windlass, lowers, trims and raises the lamp, restores the handle to the compart ment, throws down the switch, locks the door and goes on to the next lamp. All tl^is work is done without climbing a step. The whole device is painted a dark green, picked out in gilt. Far from being unsightly, they are real ornaments to the street. The householders are anx ious to have these brackets placed on their houses, often paying half the cost, and sometimes the whole cost, for the privilege. These devices are well made and expensive, costing about $ 1 GO each. —Cincinnati Commercial Gazette. The Tt-re.ln? The shipworm or teredo, with its long, spiral shell, would hardly be taken for a two valved shell, yet it is. It is the l>ete noir of f lie dock builder on the Pacific and South Atlantic coasts, boring into the wood and depositing a lining, until finally the wood is completely honey combed and falls to pieces. On the Florida reef I found that a new dock, when the piles were protected by cas ings covered with tar, were rendered unsafe in a little over a year. An old wreck, comprised of the hull of a gotnl sized ship, was visited by me in 18(12; thrfo or four years later it bad almost disappeared. It was out of the reach of the surf, and simply fell apart by the action of these destroyers that iiud completely honey combed it, so that wudhig up to it at low tide I could puncture the hull any where with my finger. ' The only wood which seemed to resist the inroads of the animal was the palmetto. I often found logs or trunks floating, and while the terero had attacked it they were evi dently disheartened. Our common terero is but a few inches iu length, hut in Su matra a giant of six feet is found boring iu the mud.—San Francisco Chronicle. The OU«l L’se of Wonk It is amusing to note how many words and expressions we hear every day that mean something far different from what they seem to mean.* We are so accus tomed to this that we pay little atten tion to it, except when we a re in thought ful mood; and no matter how careful we are we gradually drop into the habit of following onr neighbor’s example, and in turn setting the example for others to follow. # 'Dius we find no fault with the friend who tells us soberly that the clock has struck out*, when we know that the clock has never been guilty of striking anylnxly. We do not protest against hearing an other declare that he did something wrong because he could not help it. as though the wrong, had it been assisted, would have committed itself and saved the actual sinner from all blame.—liar per’s Young People. From olden times it has b-en thought that adults idiotiid be the teachers and children simply learners, but in the Nineteenth century of civilization the greatest find that they can learn from the little ones. The best educators are those who have learned most from lift If* children, and the most snce»*s*fnl prima ry teachers are those who can see and feel things as children feel and see them. Authors of literature and textbooks for children must now know child nature or fail. Scientific philologists are beginning to recognize rh*- fact that children just learning t<> talk cun iu a few months teach them n.»re about how languages are formed than can be learned by years of study of dead and living languages. Even the philosopher and psychologist are turning to the child for the solution of some of the problems that have so long baffled them, and the practical mor alist turns from theories to learn of chil dren how moral ideas are formed and moral action called forth. GREAT STUDENTS. Die development of the race is epit omized in the development of the child, and tin* observer may read it in the un folding physical activity of the innocent child, with more pleasure and profit than in the learned histories of civiliza tion. Dedennan, Darwin, Taine, AlcotL Romanes and ‘other learned men have studied their own children scientifically and taken notes on their development, while Perez, Kussmaul and others have made observations on a number of chil dren. Humphreys, Ilolden and Noble have collected and examined the vocab ularies of several-children two years old. in order to discover the general laws of speech. Emily Talbot has collected observa tions of mothers on young babes. The most thorough and accurate study has, however, been made by Preyer, who carefully observed and experimented upon bis boy during the first three years of his life, noting down each day every thing calculated to throw light upon the capacity of children and the order of t he development of their powers. Much light has been thrown on man subjects by these investigations, but a sufficient number of carefully verified facts lias been collected to enable ns with certainty to distinguish character istics common to all from individual f**- cnliarities. It has been made evident that not only must, there l>e persevering exactness inoliserving and recording the facts, but many of them can Ik? accu rately observed and correctly interpreted only by one versed in physiology and psychology. PLANS FOR A IlOOIC. Considerable interest lias been aroused and many plans proposed designing to increase scientific knowledge on the sule ject, to bring parents into new and pleasanter relations with each other, and to pr»*serve records of interest and value to the family. Probhbly no more accept able or more valuable present could be given to a child who had jnst attained his majority than a little book contain ing a record of his life from babyhood. The data contained in suc h a record would make it possible for him to obey the maxim, “Know thyself,” and to guide his life by that knowledge, while the little incidents of childish life that give so much pleasure when remembered and related by the parents would be pre served and enjoyed by himself and his descendants. Parents who have engaged in such observations have not only learned to understand their children bet ter and been drawn into closer relations with them, but have also found the task most interesting and delightful. It will probably Is? years before the observations of man}' scientists on chil dren can lie collected, but in the mean time a father,' mother or older sister of ordinary intelligence can, by exercising patience and cure, observe and record certain facts of child development that 1 will he as important and reliable as those furnished by the most learned sci entist. These observations also are those made at the most interesting age of the child’s life—the jK*riod of the develop ment of speech.—E. A.
