The woman who puts her brains into domestic ser vice will find her level. It's, a Stupid household that will not soon discover her worth.

The sitting rooms, which " al most every-up-to-date house provides for its domestics, are infinitely more attractive than almost any kelf-snp-porting woman of my acquaintance huds in boarding house . .or hotel in which her salary justifies her living." Women in domestic service nowa days arc practically like the lilies of the field so far as solicitude for food . and shelter are concerned. Believed of this material worry, which so rapiily gcs the average woman, the educated : in domestic service would find, time - to indulge-her tastes besides the comfort f saving something for a rainy day.

A ... moment of don igeonlike gloom succeeded the milday glare of the avenue, to be followed by a flood of soft-eleetrie light, revealing a mirror-walled - entresol, its stately trappings swathed in white coverings. Through this white city; glided like, a veritable, fairy Princess the tall and queenly caretaker, rooed in the ele gance of well-bred simplicity.

The range was frightfuPy warped and a" fire was rag ing big enough to roast an ox. All that was cooking was a tongue. I- asked the csuse, and was told that there was very little coal in, the range. When the fire died out I had the range examined, to discover that the bricks in the back were almost : completely burnel out. There beiog no protection between tbe hot coals and the ocnT naturally the top was warped. I found out the mak it of the range and telephoned bim to come and see it. lie said it was crimin al negligence, and soon neWtrricks re placed the lumed-out ones. The laun drv . stove smoked frightfully, great volumes of smoke going up between the walls to the top of the house. Pulling the stove apart, we found a big hole burned through the back of it. Through this hole tbe fire dropped, turning -the smoke into the ' crevices between " the walls instead of up the chimney 'flu-j. How the house bad escaped fire was the mystery.

CHICAGO, Nov. 18. Four persons wens, killed and a. score injured today, by a series of gas explosions which, de stroyed the plant of the Pyle Electric Headlight. Co. The shocks of tbe ex plosion were so severs that all build ings near the demolished plant were damaged and the windows shattered for blocks, while many persons were thrown from tkHr feet. Over pressure is be lieved to have caused the accident. The Pyle . Company supplies illumin ation for the railroad coaches. This illuminant is forced into small retorts, which, when attached under the floor of the car, will supply it with light for months. In order to make this possible the retorts are subjected to an extreme ly high pressure. It was such a tank thst esused the first explosion. While the workmen and wreckage filled the air, other retorts exploded ia such rapid succession that it was al most impossible to distinguish separate detonations. There were nine such ex plosions in all, and these left tbe plant in flames, which kept the fire depart ment busy for several hours. Tbe to tal loss of property was $75,000.
