One Of the most dramatic invasions of Eng

the girls presenting themselves for employment
were in the most dreadful condition physically
half starved and altogether utterly different
from the working women in their American fac
tories. The first thing done was to examine the
teeth of every applicant. If found defective

''The Century's" most devoted readers Will, we
imagine, turn first to the charming Thackeray-
ana, to the letters so full of kindness fun and
wisdom; to the drawings so comic so suggestive
faulty in the matter of art, delightful in
spirit. The Anglo-Saxon, II is certain will never
tire Of Thackeray the and Thackeray the
writer-the lovable the other is
great. Much of the material in General Wilson's
pages is fresh: all Of it is well worth preserva-
tion in its portraiture of a winning, generous
and true hearted man Of genius. Divers pas
sages in his letters TO his American correspond
ents show with what care he adjusted historical
details in his ''Virginians'-one of them even
deals with the color of the Washington livery
We are interested in noting that besides the
many collections of Thackeray letters preserved
in this country Americans own also a number
OF his MSS. These include The Rose and the
Ring THE Adventures OF Philip" the note
book of THE virginians." the lecture Swift
and the "Rounda bout Papers," which have found
a resting place at Harvard.
In the current series of THE Century's'
Year of American Humor" Mrs. Stuart's
story ''The Gentleman of the Plush Rocker" is
undoubtedly the most satisfactory. An apt
and intimate study of negro character. of hu-
man nature it is both mirth inspiring and
pathetic and can lay not unworthy claim to
be really a thing Of humor.

A Virginia woman recalls with a vivid sim

at Harper's Ferry. She was then a little school
girl of the neighborhood, and burnt in upon
her memory was the terror of those hours. She
does not give a pleasant picture of the men
of the region who helped to capture old Ossa-
watome and his little handful of Abolitionsts.
While Stevens lay wounded in one of the houses
of the town a citizen pointed his gun at him; the
raider fixed his fierce, dark gaze upon him with
such contempt IN the look that the Virginian
turned and went out of the Stevens

The result, as all know. was the merging of

Mr.. Chalmers Robertss plea for better stand

American who demanded respect for

The kindly old gentleman known as Chief
Arthur is the subject of interesting sketch
in Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly" He Is
shown to US as an engaging combination of
force and gentleness, man with whom preju-
dice and passion can never obscure justice. Be
cause the rules of conduct established under his
guidance by the Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers are exacting throughout. other Organiza-
tons have scorned this "aristocratic."
Here is Mr.. Arthur's comment on this reproach
They say aristocratic-. If being
temperate and frugal, avoiding saloons and
gambling dens. If saving money and giving the
benefit of the wages earned to the family at
home is TO be Extraordinarily am proud that
aristocratic.
Our requirements for membership are that the
applicant have years experience as an engi-
neer, that he has a good moral character. and
that he is able to read and write. No man can
keep a saloon and remain a member Of this or
der. No violate all the deCencies of
life and remain a member. And when man
is once a member try to insist that he shall
not stand still. We urge him TO educate himself
to the highest possible point, and we give him
eveS assistance and every encouragement TO
this end.

1t ought not to be necessary in the twen-
tieth century to insist upon such a trusm as
that examination in the elementary schools
should be test of power rather than of mere
acquisition; that what the pupil can do. think

simply reasonable proposition has not yet be-
come established in the teachers creed as widely
as it should be. and we are glad to note every

studies in the elementary schools and the ability
to handle every of them effectively and un-
