ENGLISH UNION OF BARMAIDs.
comeIy Young Women Take steps to Pro-
tect Themselves


tect Themselves.
The barmaids have declared for q
trades union. Now, the barmaid is a.
pretty good institution, from some points
Of view, and the average drinker will
tell you that 1t is much better to inbiba
hot Scotch while talking with a rosy
checked girl on the other side of the bar
than to be regarded with cold suspicion
by cross-grained person in a white jack
ct. who usually shuts your drinks Off
when the thirst is greatest.
There are $4,000 barmaids In the United
Kingdom, and Birmingham club started
the trades union scheme. A mass meet
Ing was held in 1.-The Pittsburg of Eng
land, at which one Sir James SAWYER
presided, declaring that registered bene-
fetal society would be started, with
branches in every town. In addition there
is to be an employment bureau a bar
maids club, at which arrangements can
be made for cookery and dress cutting
lessons. An insurance and marriage en-
dOwment fund is to be added. One bar
maid points out sarcasticaly that the
average period Of duty is ninety eight
hours a week. or fourteen hours a day,
and that she wouldn't have time to take
lessons in anything. Nevertheless, the
trades union idea, with every barmaid
required to possess her card is regard
ed as a great scheme.
Meanwhile crusade is on foot to sup
press the barmaid. The British Wom-
Cl1 temperance dSSOCldlIOn mas taken
up the matter. and there IS a great SEN
sation in the liquor trade generally. Last
spring a frugal Glasgow baille declared
war against the young women who dis
pensed liquid cheer in the public houses.
but the baille, after brief and exciting
experience with the indignant populace,
went a considerable distance to the rear
and took an easy chair. The British
WomenS Temperance association is TAX
ing a census of barmaids in the United
Kingdom and preparing a lot OF lurid
literature explaining why the evil should
be suppressed. The females who earn o
livelihood drawing stout and bitter
do not want to be suppressed. Exchange

NEW STRENGTH TEST SYSTEM.
DR.. Sargent, of Harvard, to Introduce It
QuIckness to Count.

OuIckness to Count.
DR.. Dudley Allen Sargent, director of
the Hemenway gymnasium at Harvard,
will introduce within the next few days
a new strength test system which, If
adopted, promises to change the whole
trend Of modern athletics.
Just what the new system will be Dr.
ciple is this: TO substitute quickness and
endurance for mere brute force.
For many years physical authorities
have realized that too much attention
has been paid. not only In gymnasium
work but in football and many other out
door sports as well, to the development
Of mere Drawn and muscle and the neg
lect of those finer qualities which, IN real
tty distinguish the real athlete from the
possessor Of mere animal strength. The
game Of football IS the best example Of
this.
The sentiment for some. time has been
that of pounding away at one man on
an opposing team until he has become eX-
hausted, and the continuation or the the-
ory of close formations and mass plays
has met with universally popular favor.
Even during the past autumn there ap-
peared to be a disposition to rOughen the
game The umpire became the most I'M
portant man on the field, and in the Har-
vard-Yale game complaints were made on
both sides that tripping, elboWing and
general trough house" work were promis-
cuously INDUCED in.
What can be said of football IS true
In general or many OCner Sports where,
perhaps, less indiscriminate roughness,
skill and endurance are made secondary
to the exercise Of muscular force.
In the present collegiate strength test,
devised by DR.. Sargent some years ago
and now in use throughout the country,
the athlete who wins Is the man whose
back, legs, arms and chest best answer
to sluggish calls for strength. The man
who can lift most with his legs or back
who is a powerful animal machine sim
ply because nature has made him So
Is the one who comes out ahead. Com
paratively little chance has been given
for the exhibition of these qualities of
endurance skill and quickness, which
ought to reward every athletic effort, and
it is for this reason that DR.. Sargent in
tends to introduce his new system.

GUST AS 1T USED TO BE-

I wish were a boy again,
That age were but g. dream,
That things would change from what they
are
To what they used to seem;
That I were but a little boy
And from my mothers knee
Could find that dear old fairyiand,
Just as 1t used to be.
If wishes were only a horse,
How fast away I'd ride
Across the plains Of yesterday,
Bold comrades by my side;
Once more I'd rescue captive maids;
Ali doughty deeds you'd see,
If I were but hero bold,
Just as I used to be,
With bean stalk Jack I'd sally forth
To giants XIII galore;
In seven gued boots I'd stride away
To that enchanted shore
Where ogres dwell, in castles huge,
And mermaids swarm the sea;
Oh how I'd love to find them all
Just as they used to be.
Nv little boy says I'm all wrong
That nothing's changed at all,
| That he can show me ogres fierce,
And giants more than tall;
| Then, clasping his dear hands in mine
| He leads me forth to see
Years drop as leaves; I'm young again
| Just as / used to be

THE CRY OF THE DREAMER.

I am tired OF planning and toiling
In the crowded hives Of men;
Heart weary of building and spelling,
And spelling and building again.
And 1 long for the dear old river
Where / dreamed my youth away
For dreamer lives forever,
And q toiler dies In q day.
1 am sick of the snowy seeming
OF life that Is half lie,
OF the faces lined with schemtng
In the throng that hurries by.
From the SleepleSS thoughts endeavor
l would go where the children play
For a dreamer lives forever
And a thinker dies in a day.
1 can feel no pride, but pity
For the burdens the rich endure;
There is nothing sweet in the city
But the patient lives of the poor.
Oh the little hands too skfllful.
And the childmind choked with WeedA
The daughters heart grown wilful,
And the fathers heart that bieedS.
No. no; from the streets rude hustle.
From trophies from mart and stage.
/ would fly to the woods low rustic
And the meadows kindly page.
Let US dream as of yore by the river.
And be loved for the dream AWAY
For the dreamer lives forever.
But the toiler dies In day
