JAMES, Bo wmanville, Agent GRAND TRUNK ttïJKT Dr. J. : W. Robertson, chairman of the Royal Commission on Industrial Industrial Training and Technical Education, Education, delivered an address the other day before the Women's Canadian Canadian Club, about girls. He must be an aged person, for what he doesn't know -about girls would fill a book about as big a-s a barn. Had he been a young gaffer he could have given the old girls some pointers pointers about the young ones that would be worth knowing. . , When the great- Paganini was dying dying he confessed that he was- just learning to play the violin. With all reverence, ïhay I be permitted to hope that he is to-dav finishing his musical -studies in a School of Masters, and we may some day hear him at his very best. W T hen middle-aged gentlemen like Dr. Robertson get lecturing on woman woman questions it is to laugh. There is only one step from the sublime to the ridiculous, and the Doc. in several places comes near being delightfully delightfully funny; indeed, if he were to go into vaudeville with his little monologue about the girls he would be a headliner in no time. Dr. Robertson wants thirty million million dollars to start vocational schools to train young women. . You can't train girls. If you don't think so, try it. We-have tried it on with cooking schools. After you devour the middle of one of their pies, you ■can use the rest to pitch quoits with. The trouble with girls is they make a function of everything. everything. A ladies' college is a continuous continuous performance function--only this and nothing more. We would spend thirty million dollars establishing establishing some more functions, and we have enough of . them now 7 . Girls don't want to be trained for a calling, trade, or profession ; they want- to get married. Any one- of them would leave -school in a minute minute if the right- chap came along. Anything, therefore, that- will help them out ought to be presented to the proper authorities. We advertise advertise all over the world free, homesteads homesteads for young men of any nationality. nationality. I wouldn't advise giving a girl 160 acres of land, but I would advise giving her one thousand dollars. dollars. Let the Government insure every girl baby for «$1,000 w-lien she is born. As soon as her birth is registered at the City Hall or with the Town Clerk she is automatically automatically insured for $1,000, to be paid her when she comes of age. The Government Government pays the premium. Aunt Lucy says, "Pay it to her when she- gets married," but Old Twilight thinks that some of them would get married at fifteen just to get the coin. No ; it is better to wait till she is eighteen, say, and let her get mar lied or not, just as she chooses. One thing certain, it would help thousands of them to get- husbands. How many young men are there today today keeping-bach, out in the West or up in the North woods and slaving slaving away to save up enough money j to send for the girl at home ! If she had $1,000, the- problem would dis- ; solve. Governments have loaned | money to new beginners, have help- j ed them start, have broken land for j them, furnished them with seed, | built them houses, but they have | never done a thing for women. ' I Prof. Robertson complains of the low wages girls get. If they had $1,000 each, half .of them would get married to-morrow, and the wages of the other half would- be doubled. This should, answer the question : What shall we do with. our girls ?-- The Ivhan, in Toronto.Daily Star. (Original). THE OLD WOODEN CRADLE.

In the minds of most of the West African bush people no hard and fast line seems to exist between the living and the dead, writes T. A. Talbot- in The Wide World Magazine. Magazine. Ghosts are thought to exercise exercise great influence over those who still dw 7 ell on -earth. At all ceremonies ceremonies of importance the names of the principal ancestors are. invoked, and at feasts part of the food is always always laid aside for them, in such words as the following : "Listen, my family! Here, is the offering (goat, sheep or cow) which we have killed for him who has died. Here is your portion. It- is time for us to eat." A libation is also poured qut in order that the dead may drink with the living. By ,a beautiful fancy, any stranger stranger who dies in a town is buried on the road by which he entered it, so that his spirit may easily find the way back -to his home, or at least watch the road thither and listen for the coming of friends. Among many tribes those objects most used by the. dead man while in life are broken and laid around his grave, so that their spirit, set free have to put him to the necessity of wiping the blood of all the Cavendishes Cavendishes from his noble nose a good many times before he disposes of u-s. 5 ; rass Mrs. Harcourt Loves Home.

This is intended to ensure a wo rid-wide oil supply for the oil fuel-burning ships of the Imperial Navy in time of war.

It is no exaggeration to state that the illness of Maxim Gorki has aroused sympathetic interest throughout the world. Gorki is a figure who. looms largely in international international politics and literature, and his great genius stands unquestioned. unquestioned. Gorki's real name is Alexei M-ax- imovitch Pyeshkoff. He is only forty-two years of age, but his life has been crowded with strange adventures. adventures. He has wandered in many lands, and lias had to struggle struggle bitterly to ward off starvation. One of his earliest jobs was as cook's boy on a Volga • steamer, then he was picker-up of trifles at Nizon, a railway watchman at Gzaritzyn, and. a barman at his native town of Nijini Novgorod. As he acquired the power of writing he began to pour forth his revolutionary revolutionary principles, and was arrested by the Russian Government. He is now an exile from his own country, and the bitterest and most powerful powerful opponent Russian despotism has to face. For some time past Gorki has been residing at Capri. Though his income from his books is reputed reputed to be well over $100,000 _ a year, he has lived in the simplest style, often devoting sixteen hours a day to work. A large portion of his earnings he hands over to the revolutionary movement in Russia. Owing to his illness it was found necessary to remove him from Capri Capri to Naples, and it is feared he _will never recover his former energy energy a nd power.
