Most Wonderful Law Presented Before
the New Zealand House.
The New Zealand house of represen-
tatives has been doing some wonderful
things and its latest achievement Is a
bill for a statutory half-holiday for do
nestle servants, which has already re-
ceived its second reading, says the
Westminster Gazette. According to
the proposal every mistress is bound
to turn her servants out Of her house
from 8 p. m. until 10 p. m. one day in
every week. II the servant Is found
employed at her ordinary work during
the statutory ~half-holiday the mistress
will be liable to a penalty of $25. II
the servants return to their homes for
food during the time mentioned the
mistress must wait on them or be
mulcted to tho same tune but we take
1t for granted that the mistress has O
legal right to refuse admittance. The
result will be that a large number of
the servants In the town, being coun-
| try girls without friends, will be driven
| to parade the streets for these six hours
Of compulsory holiday. The humorous
completeness Of this proposal will, we
are afraid, be fatal to its chances Of
becoming law. A prominent lady poll.
tician has already avowed her prefer
ence for a statutory half-holiday for
overworked mothers of large families
who have no servants. The husband
will then be compelled to remian at
home and mind his house in the alb.

This dainty little volume, which contains
gems of sententious wisdom scarcely TO be sur

print of the original edition published in

which are so pleasing and which fasten the
attention upon the pithy sentences with
stronger grip than when they are put in more
modern form.
Francis Bacon wrote it, and the print and
binding is beautiful example of the book
makers art. In introducing the book to the
public the author wrote in preface: "I doe
now publish my Essays; which all of my other
