mitanything which imposes a restric
tion upon that vital function. The
probabilities are that the presence of
Lady Aberdeen at dinner with her ser
vants will make them so ill at ease that
the barrier will be widened rather than
lessoned. There is no doubt that the
plan of a separate table for servants is
the best and most enjoyed by all con
cerned. But the kindly mistrees will
see to it that the same nourishing food
which is provided for the family table
will be supplied in abundance to the
servants, and a portion of any special
dainty saved for them.

heath en which he had the honor and
pleasure to tread as he remarked the

reminiscences of his recent trip to Ger

pressed with the difference in the farm
ing country. "While in America the
farm homes are scattered, in Germany
they are grouped in little hamleta, with
a large church in each town. The farms
have been divided and sub-divided
among large families'until they are mere
gardens as compared with our farms.
An ordinary German farm is toe small
for an American reaper. These garden
farms are cultivated with the utmost
care, thus producing a competency. Be
criticised the German system of rail
roads ; but all in all concluded that the
institutions were adapted to the people
and the country. He dwelt pleasantly
upon many of the natural charms and
scenery of Europe. Mrs. McClintock
of Kansas, ex-president of the Kansas
federation, was asked to tell of the work
in her state. She told of the city fed

courEe for Topeka, thirty-three of these
clubs joined in a federation. Mrs. Mc
Clintock explained that while the fed
eration was started from selSsh motives,
it soon began to work for others. The
traveling library is its most practical
result
