REGARDING PIONEER WOMEN.

The subject of emigration for gentlewomen is at
tracing increasing amount OF attention through
the British Empire. both in the motherland,
where the surplus and unemployed woman is
serious problem. and IN the colonies, where these
women are sorely needed. 1t Is said that this
Is partly the result of the Boer The intense
patriotism OF the Beers and their faith IN their
is generally attributed to the lessons learned
their mothers knees. and 1t is further asserted
that Englshnen who were married to Boer women
have nearly always proved disloyal.
The Boer method Of emigration is consequently
coming to be regarded with much favor. The Boer
did go alone into the wilderness. like the Eng
lishman, to make a home for his wife future
bride He compelled by force Of circumstances
pack his and his kinder into his wagon and
take his home with him when he trekked, and 1t now
that his necessity was his great good

from most of the evils Of pioneer society For the
women themselves the prospect Of making homes
out OF huts in wilderness might not be regarded
allurng, but there are compensations. for while
the average woman in the older countries IS

A ROYAL ROAD TO LEARNING.

The old proverb that there is no royal road TO
learning which was formerly accepted as indsput
able is emphatcally denied by Mrs. Evelyn Fletch-
Copp, the originator of the Fletcher kindergar-
ten method of musical instruction. That royal road
will be found she says. for the children of the
future, and the road is being made smooth for the
children to-day a way that would once have
been thought Impossible. In the realm of music,
for instance, children acquire positive pitch.
a thing which used be regarded as unattainabe
except by favor Of the gods. and as for reading
music ii is easy to teach them to do that as 10
teach them read English.

shivered and, turning, buried his face
in his pillow. ps,s s
Suddenly the alarm reused him. He
listened. He sprang from his bunl,
and a moment later was down the pole
and in his place on the truck. His face
was like the face of the dead. AS in
a dream he heard the cry: "Whers
is it?" and the answer from a dozen
lusty Threats: "The convent"
The convent and the Orphans Home
adjoining were ablaze. 1t was evident
at glance that the buildings were
doomed. The main business was to
save the sisters and the children.
The bravery of the nuns and their
proteges was only second to that Of
the magnificent fellows who fought for
the lives of these helpless people. Ev-
eryone recalls the amazing fortitude
and courage displayed at this frightful
hour. The children had been drilled
for just such moment of peril, and
nobly did they now obey their in
structors. Such deeds of heroism as
were done that bitter morning = arc
never lost. Their memory remains as
an eternal inspiration. r. J
Tom" Brennan thrust a ladder UP
to- window of the dormitory just be-
meath the huge gilded cross that sur
mounted the roof of the convent.
In this window, serene, calm, her
lips moving in prayer, stood sweet
faced sister, holding in her arms a
tiny crippled boy. So symbolic was the
attitude Of this holy woman that not
one heart in the vast crowd below
failed to respond. : ', -. - :,
~ 1T is Sister Mary Beatrice!" moaned
the mother superior. She knelt upon
the bare ground and crossed herself.
When Tom Brennan, his face black
ened with smoke and his eyes blazing
with heroic excitement, reached. the
window, Sister Mary Beatrice looked
steadfastly at him with her old sweet
smile.
He held out his arms.
Inc Child first, sTom," she said, as
she. laid the little boy on the broad
breast Of the fireman. =
I A mighty shout went up from the
crowd below. All had seen that sub
lime act. All realized what it meant
A dozen hands received the child and
Tom Brennan turned back up the lad
der.
He lifted Sister Mary Beatrice from
the window. u-
For one instant he held her on his
heart.
Then as the frenzied spectators
groaned and cursed and prayed the
convent walls swayed in.
And at the foot of the cross Ton
Brennan died for his Maggie darlip'. ;

Fl Famous Irish Shrine

Away up in the north of Ireland, in
County Donegal, is Tough Derg which
contains by far the. oldest and most
famous shrine of all the land of Erin.
For centuries untold it has been the
resort Of pilgrims, and every year,
from June 1 to August Is, it is
thronged with penitents.
The Tough, or lake, is six miles in
length and four in breadth. 1t contains
several small islands, two of which
are known respectively as Saints Is
land and Station Island. The scenery
for many miles around is neither beau
tiful nor is it forbidding. It is simply
dreary-inexpressibly dreary. There
are no trees, no broken or graceful
hills, but only slopes of desolate, I'M
