Arrest The Shark,

Mr.. JOS Hartman who claims that
a shark to which he had never been
introduced committed malicious in
jury by wilfully and against the
will OF said Hartman, did 10 the
Pacific Ocean tear and rip his bath
ing trunks, the property OF the Ho
tel Annex, to an extent damaging to
his modesty and to his purse, and
causing him shock which prevent
ell him to see and meet his attorney
with whom he had important bust
ness.
We understand that legal paper
reads to that effect and that the
High Sheriff has ordered Low Sheriff
McGurn aud Officer Haurahau to
forthwith arrest the monster" and
bring his or her body into the Dis.
trict Court,
Tho shark which attacked Mr..
Hartman was evidently a gourmeut
and found the flesh inside the bath
ing suit too fresh altogether for q
breakfast, and the swimmer escaped
with a scare aud some newspaper
notoriety.
Seriously speaking we can cay
from many years Of personal obser-
walton as we'll as from the evidence
Of the Oldest citiz,n, that no man
eating shark, ever crossed the reef,
went into shallow water, tasted
bathing suits aud got out into the
deep again. The writer has seen the
Hammerhead shark following boats
and canoes outside the reef as far as
the channels of Sans Souci, aud
near Diamond Head, but even that
harmless monster" did never at
tempt to cross the channel in search
Of bathing suit.
Mr.. Hartman may have started
the shark story as "josh," and he
may honestly balieve that he had an
encounter with a shark, but he can
safely go out bathing again and
again, even outside the reef aud be
will never meet his impudent &C

Of the entire subsection of the maid to
than as servant" that the American
workingwoman nowadays insists up
on being regarded. The very name of
servant" is odious. The chance that
it may be applied to her makes the
average young woman reject with dis
dain the proposal that she shall be-
come cook or housemaid, though
these occupations pay better than fac
tory work.
The answers obtained by the Bulle-
tin to its inquiries show that the dis
tinctly social life fostered by the
church, as expressed in parties and
social meetings of different kinds is
highly valued by A per cent. of the
domestics interrogated AS affecting
the desirableness of domestic service,
questions were asked as to opportun-
tiles given by employers for "intellec-
tual Improvement" Were books and
magazines supplied to relieve the tedi-
UNI of leisure moments? Was access
given to the library? Were any of
the excellent periodicals and works de-
signed to promote efficiency in domes-
tic service given to domestics to read
Does the domestic resort to the public
library? What opportunities for en-
Joyment are open to the domestic

she play cards? Is she allowed visit
ors2 If in the kitchen, does the kitchen
contain furnishings beyond those nee
essary to its business uses? Is there
time given for personal sewing? Is
the family sewing machine used by
the domestic? How much time does
the domestic spend out of the house?
Does she attend lectures? Has she de-
posts in the savings bank? Is she
helping to support relatives? These
questions assume that domestics have
wants, feelings, aspirations, capacities
for enjoyment and rights which the
thoughtful and consideratc employer
will not ignore. No doubt there are
worthless persons who are worthless
as domestics and are incorrigible, no
matter what provision the sympathetic
employer makes for the amelioration
of their position. They respond to no
treatment, however kind, indulgent OF
generous. Still, there are many who
will do their best to please f the en-
ployer's point Of view is respectful and
considerate. The solution of the do,
nestle problem-apparently insoluble
will undoubtedly be facilitated by
reciprocal kindness.

ROBERTS AND CANADIANS.

When Field-Marshal Lord Roberts
saw the colonial troops on parade in
the queens jubilee procession in Lon
don in 1897 he remarked that there
was the sort Of soldier material that
he would like to lead in battle. Those
representatives of the colonial military
were half-drilled citizens but they car
ried their heads proudly and sought to
emulate the steadiness of the finest
troops of the empire who accompanied
them in that long line. Laconfc Rob-
.erts is not quoted as giving any rea-
sons for his remark Had he known
how soon his wish was to be realized
he might have said more.
But what excellent judgment! TAX
en- raw from the farms and workshops
and ounting-rooms, he whipped them
into shape in a few weeks and gave
them assignments which other gen.
erals would have regarded as safe only
in the hands of tried veterans.
Brigaded with the Gordon Highlanders,
the Canadian regiment has won the
chief gloryof the present campaign for
to their impetuous advance upon the
enemy at Paardeberg is credited the
reluctant surrender of Gen. Cronje.
One dispatch says that the Canadians
were only prevented from carrying the
lager at the point of the bayonet by
imperative orders to the contrary
This was the spirit which led the
Roosevelt Rough Riders up San Juan
hill in company with the famous fight
ing thirteenth The Canadians, like
wise, were not to be outdone In brav-
cry even by the disciplined veterans
beside whom they were fighting, heroes
of many bloody engagements, and all
the world looks on and applauds as it
did when San Juan fell. The manner
in which the Canadians are sustaining
the expectation of Lord Roberts is
something of which the dominion Is
and ought to be very proud. Canada
will be grateful to Bobs, despite the IN
fortunate loss which has attended
these engagements, for giving to her
sons the opportunity to make this rec
ord for themselves, instead of follow
ing the advice of some Canadian war
experts who thought 1t would be I'M
safe to trust them by themselves, and
suggested dividing the regiment into
units with British regular regiments

LAZINESS OF kAFFIRS.

One of the miners in the copper
country will turn out as much work as
five of our men. We have to employ
kaftir labor. kaffirs are VIGOROUSLY
lazy, and they require constant super
vision or they will quit work alto
gether. With every five Kaffirs one
white man is employed One hole
drilled with a hand drill Is considered
a days stint for Kaflir. Although our
meployes do not get as much pay indi-
vidually as the miners hereabouts, yet
labor costs us much more, because one
of the copper country miners will do as
much work as five Kaf1irs.

SOCIAL CONDITIONS IN DOMESTIC
SERVICE.

rhe Massachusetts labor bulletin
for February publishes a very inter
esting summary of the results of a
study of the problem of domestic ser.
vice. Exact data have been obtained
by an agent of the labor bureau. with
the object of Showing without bias
the present social opportunities, the
limitations and the prevailing condl-
lions that affect the life of the domes-
tic upon its social side" The ques-
tons to be answered are these: What
opportunities has the faithful cook or
maid for Improvement in education .
What amusements and recreatons?
What means of spending her leisure
time? The inquiry has been prosecut-
ed with full recognition of the peculiar
position of the domestic. She is In
the family says the Bulletin, but
not of 1t. The service required of her
Is of the highest Importance to the
peace and comfort of her employer,
but her work is considered inferior in
many ways to that of other self-sup-
porting women. To raise the social
standard of those in domestic service,
to dignity and elevate, If possible, this
kind of employment, would remove
one of the barriers which now deter
workingwomen from voluntarily ac-
eepting it,"
There is nothing degrading or hard
in the nature of the work performed
by domestics. Their work Is often
taken in hand by their employer in
emergencies without loss of self-re-
spect 1t Is monotonous, it is true.
but less monotouous than that of the
factory or the shop, which most self
supporting workingwomen prefer.
Why, then, Is the factory preferred?
The answer seems to be, as stated by
the Bulletin, that while certain social
opportunities are enjoyed by those
who are employed in the factory or
the shop, due In measure to unity
of action on the part of the workers
and TO generally accepted customs
growing out of the employment, in do
nestle service there is neither uni
formity of privilege nor recognized So
cial status. Workingwomen, 1t Is
suggested, II able in domestic service
to obtain the same respect and sympa-
thy that they have at home and the
same leisure in the evening that they
obtain when employed in factories,
would, as a rule. prefer domestic SER
vice, but the American woman resents
the disposition of some employers 20

to seek TO control all her time from

A Socialistic Countess.

The rich and beautiful countess Of

in The Pall-Mall Magazine she writes:
Is the industrial future of merry
England inevitably what you profess
ors of the moral sciences disclose it?
Sweating dens for London; managers
or Manitoba for our cottages? Poach

fall. NJ. Leroy Beaulieu, in an article
on the future of French finance, states
that the present net revenue of the
