SCHOOL FOR MAIDS, An attempt to rescue the fast dis | appearing servant girl from oblivion | is being made in England by the ci- | tablishment of a college for the | training of young girls in domestic | science. and the useful arts, $250,- [000 having been set aside by the | government for this purpose. The | cost of training a girl to take a posi tion in domestic service is $100. Unless a girl can be shown that the expenditure of her $100 and her time of thirteen weeks, with thirty hours' instruction each week, will be of use in starting her at a higher figure than the untrained girl, the project is not likely to appeal to her; and the school will appeal, as similar schools have appealed, only to the young woman contemplating marri- age and fearful lest her inability to cook should drive away her hus- band's affection, or to the young wo- man who wishes to qualify as teach er of domestic science. But there is one saving grace In the curriculum announced in the English school for maids; for besides being taught cooking, laundry work, housewifery--whatever that may be needlework, infant welfare, and hygiene, the girls are also taught singing and how to play the piano. But after they have learned these ac complishments, will they be content to wash dishes? EMPTY HONORS. The way of genius is often hard. } When a poet is a genius, as some- times though rarely happens, he is generally the victim of the buffets of fate, the slings and arrows of out- rageous. fortune, and" leads a life that is not exactly of the happlesr. Some kink in his make-up prevents him from being able to live by his art. He is not even able to join Sir Walter Scott in saying that litera- ture is a good stick but a bad crutch. A well-known Greek hexameter line gives the mame of the seven cities which contended for the honor of being the birthplace of Homer, and this in turn gave rise to the familiar couplet: "Seven fair ictles Homer dead, Through which, alive, he begged his daily bread." The annals of English literatura are full of the misfortunes of poets. Down from Chaucer himself many of them knew actual want and felt the pangs of hunger, Spencer, lonely and in extreme indigence, died in an inn from want of food; Otway's death was caused by his hastily swallowing, after long fasting, = crust of bread which charity had supplied; others dled in the Min, prisoners for debt. / So numerous are such instances that Isaac Dis raeli had no difficulty in finding material for the substantial volume entitled "Calamities of Authors." Nor are conditions always differ- ent even these enlightened days. When Henry H. Lawson, novelist and poet, shuffled off this mortal coil recently in Sydmwey, New South Wales, the premier of that state announced to parliament that he had died penniless and that unless the government furnish¢d funds he would be buried as a pauper. Thereupon a state funeral was ord- ered. Subsequently the federal government directed that it should be a commonwealth funeral. Thus, it it would not be too gross a bu!l to say so, the unfortunate poet seems to have had a post mortem choice of two kinds of sumptuous funeral. The worst of it was that those competing acts of a generosity, which would have been welcomed a few months previously and which might have prolonged his life, arriv- ed too late to be of any benefit ta the recipient. It {s evident that ia this respect things have not changed much since Homer's time and that dead poets are still much better lay claim to lonius would have said, 'tis true, "tis pity; and pity "tis, 'tis true. ------------ who know the horrors of war as none of the rest of us know them, od. * ; 'part in any new war to hint tha these veterans offer themselves "| merely because they have acquired a fondness for military life and ex- appreciated than live ones. As Poa- | LET US BE FAIR. | Canada, Some of the volunteers, no doubt, are mere reckléss adventur- ers, but we have every reason to be- lieve that the great majority are men who dislike the business of killing and being killed as much as afly of us, but who believe it thelr duty to respond to the call. - Now, what reason can they have for so believing? The papers which oppose Canada's taking part seem to assume that militarism and a desire to aggrandize the British Empire are the only possible motives behind Lloyd George's action. But there Is another far more compelling reason which can be offered for fighting-- to free the Christians who are un- der Turkish domination from the constant menace of destruction. If a big, strong fellow with an axa is seen pursuing a defenceless per- son on the public street, what is the duty of the bystanders? A man who sneaked behind a lamp-post and al- lowed a murder to occur would not be looked upon with very great re- spect, even if he made the excuse that everybody else was doing the same. But the murder in this case has been taking place six thousand miles away from us, and the victims of the Turk cannot look up at us re- proachfully with their dying eyes. The thought of entering upon an. heart, and we may well pray that it will not be necessary. But whether or not we believe that we are called upon to enter it, we certainly should refrain from belittling or misrepre- senting the self-sacrificing courage of the men who are ready to live up to their convictions, cost what 1" may. | ALONG LIFE'S DETOUR | BY SAM HILL Ld Not So Funny.
