feels she is cribbed and cabined. She is under restriction in many wys, and these restrictions, called her circumstances, she endeavours to break through. She wants more laughter than comes to her share. It sometimes happens that she hears indistinctly music which she longs to hene fully, and sees indistinctly faces andt splen- dours whib she yearns to examine more closely. But she can't get out to them. When her mis- ireas is similarly cabined what does she do? She fumes. Why, then, upbraid when Bridget sulks? A servant's fat is naturally hard; many mistresses make it harder. The baptismal (oat may have given her a cuphon ous name, as Clytemnestra, or Amminta, but when she enters service she must drop the music of these syllables and go about as plain Bridget or unomamental Mary, Bridget and Mary were sweet nanies once, and may be again when affecration is banished from civilisation, but for the time being they are unromantic, and because they are unromantic, mistresses keep them in stock for their ber-look-

SCOTT'S Emulsion of Pure Cod Liver Oil with Hypophosphites, for Rickets, Maraimus and all wasting disorders of children, is very remarkable in its results. The rapidity with which children gain flesh and strength upon it is very wonderful. Read the following:-"I have tried. 'Scott's Emulsion in cases of wasting in young children, and I am of opinion that it is a valuable prepara tion for such cases. The children take it and ask for more, and the good effects are apparent. I consider it far superior to ordinary Cod Liver Oil.", MARSHALL, M.R.C.S., &c., 143, Grange Road, Hermondsey, S.E.

ing girls. It is estimated that eighty-five out of ST. JOHN every hundred girls in service are named Bridget or Mary. And a white lace-cap is also put on the girl's head. There is not so much to say against this. Bridgel's head-dress often assists the visitor. It tells him that that pretty ghi walking along the hall is the servant, while the ugly one coming down stairs is the real Miss De Boots. The ingenuous visitor values a pieca of information acquired thus early. But to Bridget it is not always pleasant. It sometimes makes her feel as it service were servitude.
Worse things are added. In some cases Bridget's whole time is supposed to be at the

may be a most irregular set. They may come any hour of the day and may not come for a month, but Bridget is always supposed to be on hand. It may be that, considering the next day would be like the one before, she had made an appointment with the butcher or the baker. The hour and the butcher arrive-bai at that very. instant the front door opens,, and an afternoon intended to be glorified with cooing is degraded with cooking. There is no doubt that this is trying to the temper, nor is it astonishing to find WOODYEAR'S ROVAL AUSTRALIAN
a piece of crockery immolated to the occasion.. Bridget's feelings cannot be relieved at the visitor's expense, so they spend themselves on what is car. To minimise friction on this account some mistresses forbid their servants to receive. visitarr"followers" is the inelegant matronly expression. A rigid rule of this sort exasperates in many ways. A young girl has her name changed from Iolanthe to Biddy, the tresses which used to hang upon her shoulders are rolled up or cut off, and a white cap set on the top of her head, and she is now forbidden to speak to her "cousin." Unless the mistress have a grown son or compassionate husband, the girl, when young and sensitive, will be in danger of falling into lonely, if not melancholy, moods, if the rule be successfully applied. Nature, however, never gives her children wholly up to the arbitrary rule of woman or man, and hence Iolanthe manages somehow to maintain a healtby, relationship with her old world.

THEATRE,
We say nothing about bad mistresses and bad maids. Both exist, but they do not concern us here. What we are indicating here is that in general, mistresses' dissatisfaction with servants is owing to the fact that they want too much. Servants' dissatisfaction with mistresses has a similar origin. The mistress cannot have every- thing as she would just like to have it without trenching on the unwritten rights of the maid, nor can the maid have everything without leaving the mistress short. The spheres of mis- tress and maid are intersecting circles. Mis- tresses generally think that they can be made. concentric. Over and above the question of duty, there are the questions of female rivalry, female jealousy, female ambition, and female Vanity. Bridget will show off, if her mistress shows off. She will take holidays, if her mistress bas them. If her mistress conducts her affairs in utier dis egard of the convenience of Bridget, Bridget will forget her mistress's convenience from time to time. These are laws of human nature. They are the same the world over. At heart, Bridget is as desirous of rule as is her mistress. Wheni obstructed she is as tempestu- ous and royally vindictive. Her eye sweeps only. a dining-room or kitchen, her crown is only a lace cap, and her serptre a dust-brush; but when some cherished scheme is thwarted by her mistress, Cleopatra, Agrippina, or Elizabeth never felt more imperially mad. When those persons, were driven into tempers, one of them Ordered a slave to he whipped, another poured a drop of irritant pison into her victim's cup, and the third swore at and slapped her minister in the face.

Substantially things are thus all the world over, Mrs. Tork, however, cries with a special vigour. She shapes for reform. She will make the spheres of m stress and mid at last concen. tric. In Australia, if she succeeds, the mistress will be not only absolute monarch; but will hold unquestioned sway over the entire kingdom of her kingdom home. Her maid-even her maid -will bow down. Mrs Todd, with genuine Prmrosy confidence, asks England to help her. If England helps, it is assumed that all will go well. Australian mistresses will send their orders to London, in answer girls of the required age and size and complexion and weight will be despatched, as other soft-goods are now despatched, by agents, and the calamitous colonial girl will get the run. That looks simple, but we think that Mr. Todd will have to take the scheme back. It doesn't touch the philo sophy of the subject, or recognise that English mistresses are also in travail with the servant difficulty. Not so long ago a number of English mistresses in a fit of desperation or of folly au painfully evident as Mr. Todd's, proposed to import monkeys and have them instructed to do will leave for the above places on FRIDAY, the work of abigail. The proposal fell through, the 20 h December, at DAYLIGHT but it should show Mrs. Todd that dear old England is as badly off in respect to
