Youth's Companion. SERVANTS IN ECUADOR. The TraTelcr la Forced to Many to Serve Htm. If yon wore living in Ecuador and Wished to hire a servant you could hardly get one by himself or herself, but would be compelled to take up with a drove of them, probably far outnum bering your own family. For example, with a cook you would have to receive her husband and children, and perhaps also her father and mother, into your house to bed and board, and each would bring along all his or her portable prop erty, consisting mainly of domestic Bow Climate Raa Chanced. In Switzerland a mean temperature equal to that of north Africa at the present time is shown by Its fossil flora to have prevailed during the mlo cene or middle tertiary epoch. An thropoid apes lived in Germany and France; fig and cinnamon trees flour ished at Dantzlc; In Greenland, up to 70 degrees of latitude, magnolias bloomed and vines ripened their fruit, while in Spitsbergen and even In Grin nell Land, within little more than 8 degrees of the pole, swamp cypresses and walnuts, cedars, limes, planes and poplars grew freely, water lilies cov- lifted their tall heads by the margins of streams and rivers. Edinburgh Re view. When the Barber Was a Wit. In orlglnul literature the barber Is a great figure, and Arabian tales are full of him. In Italy and Spain he was often the brightest man In town, and his shop was headquarters for wit and intrigue. Jasainln became famous as a poet in southern France and re cited his verses with razor, scissors, brush and comical gestures as he dress ed the hair and beard of fine ladles and gentlemen in his shop. He had a great run, made money, hived fame, and Smiles made a book about him. pets, such as pigs, chickens, rabbits, ered over standing pools and Irises dogs and other "live stock." The hus band may have some trade which he follows during the day, but at meal times and when night comes he returns ' to the bosom of his family and yours. It would be considered downright In humanity to refuse them food and shel ter, and not a servant in Ecuador would work for so mean a master or mistress. The children of your cook may be utilized for light services, such as runnlngerrands, weeding the gar den and tending the baby, but the nu merous brood Is apt to be "light finger ed" and certain to be lousy, dirty and probably diseased. There Is no help for It, however, because "el coatumbre" has decreed that for every servant you hire you must expect at least a dozen extra mouths to feed. Nor is this the worst of it Occasion ally the cook's relatives from another village come to pay her a visit of a fort night or two lasting as long as you will tolerate It men, women and chil dren, bringing more dogs, pigs, chick ens, etc., to be -housed and fed. Fortu nately, they are not accustomed to "downy beds of ease" or sumptuous living, but consider themselves In clover if plentifully supplied with benns, corn mpal and potato soup, and will sleep contentedly on the stones of the patio or the straw of the stable. The danger Is that some of the stranger hangers on may not be as honest as the cook herself is supposed to be, and cases are known where thieves and even murderers thus gained admission to the inside of the ensa with disas trous results.

"I'm sorry, hut not as sorry as I'd be for father If he felt that way." "Why would you feel more sorry for your father, love?" " 'Cause they'd be such a lot more of him to ache."

A Vigorous Policy That Has Borne The Fruits of Crowning Svccess. To live content to sell the best piano at the lowest price ; to deserve the confidence of the people., to win and to maintain it These are achieve ments worthy the most strenuous striving. Nothing has been left un done by us in the way of fair, square, honorable dealing to accomplish this. We have contented ourselves with small profits, and endeavored by large quick, sales to ompensate for the differenre, which other dealers reap by exorbitant prices. We have ad opted every known money saving method of handling pianos, beside or iginating several individual and very important devices such as shipping our pianos in harness instead of box ing, etc., etc. That this policy has succeeded is evident from the multitude of con tented enthusiastiac, loyal customers we have, from northern Washington, to Southern California, ' from western Idaho and Wyoming, clear through the Pacifio Coast and on through the Paciflo Islands to China, Japan and the Plihllipines. We make a personal, individual matter of pleasing every customer, whether their purchase is a second hand organ or a superb, costly, grand piaon of the world-renowned makes, the Weber of New York, the Chioker ingg of Boston, or that great success, the Kimball of Chicago. Remember your custom, no matter how triflibg, is important to us, as well as to von. To us, because we want your good will ; to you, because you ore certain to make a saving nu matter what your purchase. Easy payments are one of the special fea tures of all our dealings. Every in strument we sell has our written guar antee. Money back should purchase prove unsatisfactory, onr invariable rule. EILER'S PIANO HOUSE,, .
