Xt r , 18 . Almost Al Im P°ssible A to Keep a
Servant Girl in Montana.
Perhaps the demand for dom< stic
servants is as generally unsatisfied in
the Northwest as in any other section,
writes a Montana correspondent. I have
yet to visit the happy, happy land, where
«l rl P roblem do f “ ot exi8t
ns the principal F pR source ot domestic
?loom} found at b its ufc worst. it It is is certaMj to be
sible to keep girl, utterly impos
a
The female half of the population,
while d large and growing, is still in a
cons ruble measure the smaller half,
and young women of every de-gr, e are
quoted higl e- than they would fetch
eos: of the Alleghanics. This rem rk
may „ ot be ga n aBt> and yet it ought to
b - valuable to such young women in the
East who feel thems fives unappreciated.
The cases are counted in hundreds where
a girl has entered a family as a cook or
chambermaid anti thereafter remained us
daughter-in-law. able It is highly unprofit
to fetch girls from eastern cities.
If tin j are worth their salt they go off
and get married often before they have
earned the price of their railway fare.
Servants’ wagts are 100 per cent, higher
in Montana than in New York. The
cooks on the railway dining cars receive
J the 60 lowest ? mo * th wages - Iu offered, P£ lvat f Emilies and some 830 are is
paid as much as 8100. The girl experi
ment is so that
many families employ negro men and
Chinamen. The way to ge; a Chinaman
is to tell another Chinama i you wa it
one. He will spare you all the trouble
and expense of dealing with an employ
ment agency. An ofiicer at Fort Cus'er
who had imported girl after girl only to
have them come to him within a mo, th
or tw > and simper ou f that they were
going to get married, was at last advised
by a friend to procure a Mongolia’ a
“I have one,” said the frie d, “and 1m
is a perfect jewel. If you iike, I’ll tell
him to find one for you.”
The officer gladly consented, a d in
the course of a day or two, when his
wife went to the kitchen to prepa a
dinner, she found a Chinaman, < ucd
and white-vested, alreadyat work among
the pots and pans. She cheerfully re
tired in liis favor. About a week ater,
when the officer aud his wife sat down
to dinner, they observed that the hea
then in attendance upon thorn was not
the heathen who had been serving them
for the past week, hut an entirely-new observed
and different one. They also
(lm . the dinner before them was much
gu; erior to the dinners their late hea hen
had sunnlied. They presently inquired
of their new heathen what had become
of their old one.

A California Rabbit Drive.
Onr illustration represents the .... result of
a rabbit drive in March last at Wild
flower, Fresno County, California. The
mound of slain at the end of the drive
was five feet deep, twenty feet wide and
forty feet long, and contained 12,000
dead rabbits, the largest and most suc
cessful drive ever made in Caliiornia.
These vermin have become so numerous
and destructive to the farmers, that the
wholesale extermination of them is im
perative. It is estimated that five rabbits

consume as much as one sheep. They are
particularly fond of young grape vines,
fruit trees, corn and other grain. This
drive was made by stretching tine wire
netting about three feet high and seven
miles in length, V shaped, terminating
at the smaller end in a circular corral
into which the animals were driven and
readily killed with stout sticks.— Scien
