There is not tribe that does not believe that it could wipe the Hottentots out, man, woman, and child, in weck. Therefore, the German is rogarded as ever so much less than the averago native as fighting man. As for our own war, the length of time we took over it left a similar impression on the minds of the Zulus, tha Basutos, and half a dozen other tribes who bal always regarded the Boers as a mouthful for one awooping impi.

MAUD: A PROBLEM."

Scene: A village kitchen swarming with children; their mother recounting her trials to the squire's wife; and-Moul

And what is Maud doing?" asks the lady. "At her age, abe ought to be earning her living

Mind is the oldest of eight, a kak girl of seventeen; she wears a dirty, collarless silk blouse, a long and still dirtier serge shirt, brokau boots, best necklaces and gilt bangles, and her curled hair hangs low over her eyes and

ears.

She don't do nothin' at present," answers her parent.

Can she cook?

'She don't like cookin'," explains the mother. "Can ste sew?"

She don't like sowin"."

"Does she help you in the house ? "* "She don't like housework. Sometimes she thinks she weald like a light place in a shop."

The onorgotio lady emits a sound of dis- approval Sixty or eighty years ago the spathetic Maud would have besa packed off to servicy whether or no, with a decent outfif, and a command to make berwolf a useful member of society. Nowadays a squire's wife can only point out the disadvantages of idleness, and the importance of a futues wife learning the domestic arts she has mentioned, and listens with preme indifference. She has not the faintent intention of going to service, It mean work, for one thing, and Maud has never work ed. It means earning her living, and she does not care to do that. Although her

parents find

it a bard matter to bring up eight children on less than a pound a week, she knows they will neverexpect her to do anything she does not like. She is content tolounge away her life, fed by her father, and getting astraysixpence now and then for minding a neighbour's baby- just enough to pay the

Au the morning so watches hermother work; in the afternoon she listlessly pushes the family poran- bulstor in company with other Mauds, ber long skirt gelting a fresh crat of mnd, while the wearer eyes with disdain the neat. well-dressert sorrants she meets. Sheeservant? No, thank you! And so the days go on, sad no shopman comes to beg her to take "a light pisce" in his establishment.

What is to become of a gil who has nothing, kaows nothing, and does nobbing! The ques tion tony vex the active, the reductive, and the berevolent; it assuredly over troubles Moul Her smattering of education was obtained at other people's expense. She thinks- if arser thinks at all that she will always be kept at the expouse of the industrious and thrifty (in this, nohappily for the lary and the industrious alike, she is correct), but she knows this-that she is never going to work for horself.

Pain does the parish doctor sold her in vain does the district visitor strive to lure ber to free cooking lessons, and the rector's wife to point out how she is wrecking her children's fivos. Only compulsion could influence her, and that cannot be applied. Rage, dirt, and misery are viewed by her with Oriental calm: if sickness comes, someone will pay the doctor, and the ladies of the parish will doubtless supply the patient with nourishing food; if her husband should dia, she will immediately apply for parish relief.
