there, as they did in America twenty years ago?'
 ''It seemed to her inconceivable that women were going there to drink; but to us it has become a commonplace, and those who know anything of the social life of the people of England have long realized that children are drunk for the first time in their moth CTS arms. or cursed with the appetite before they are born. In their earliest association, the public house stands as the most prominent factor in their ex- istence, and has stored their minds with the impressions of everything that is vile and bad. :.
 But there is another picture of our social life of which I have to speak before I go back again to the country farm, and in order to bring this before the minds of those who are interested in social problems, I must ask them to go inside of the London drink den. There you will find that the finest houses are supplied with great num- Der of entrances, six, eight or ten, and each of these entrances leads into a separate small bar. and, if you are in clined to sit for moment. and ask for glass of lemonade, you can watch those who pass in and out
 "A young girl. well dressed and of respectable parentage, will come in, ac- companied by the young man to whom she is engaged, and they will call for glass of spirits or beer, and sit down to drink as matter of course. mid- dle aged woman, who has known bet ter days, draws her mantle about her, and looks around to see if any one has noticed that she has crossed that threshold; her face is pale and drawn, and she has anxious lines round her eyes. Employment is hard to get, and she is going to try to forget how diff cult it is to live, as she carries in her thin, trembling hand a glass of neat spirit to the further corner of the bar. Then there are the middle aged man and his wife, who ask for beer, wo- man with a. baby and young hus band: the baby cries, and the mother dips her finger in the glass and rubs it's lips. A little noise in another bar tells us that there is a different class assembled and there we see the rag ged denizens of the slums; but every class is represented. and among them women are prominently to be found
 What wonder, then, that, that as We read the annals of our English police courts, we realize that drunkenness has not only invaded the homes of the poorer of the people, but also that drinking is alarmingly on the increase among women of the wealthy and leis- ured classes: that not only are desti- ute and degraded women committed to our prisons, who are unable to pay the fine, but that women in apparently respectable positions are continually convicted of drunkenness, until it may be truly said that scarcely family exists but has some record of this hideous disease.

CHANT PAGAN.

Chant-Pagan is the lament of the English irregular who finds England tame and unbearable after South Af- rica and war. Part of the poem fol- lows:
 Me that ave been what I've been, Me that ave gone where I've gone, Me that ave seen what I've seen
 'Ow can I ever take on With awful old England again. An. 'ouses both sides of tine street, And edges two sides of the lane, And the parson an gentry" between, An touchin' my at when we meet
 Me that ave been what I've been? Me that ave watched 'arf a world
 Fave up all shiny with dew, Kopje on kop to the sun,
 An soon as the mist let 'em through Our 'elios winkin' like fun
 Three sides cS ninety mile square, Over valleys as big as a shire Are ye there? Are ye there? Are ye
 there?
 An then the blind drums of our fire
 An I'm rollin' is lawns for the
 Squire, Me. I will arise an get 'ence:- I will trek south and make sure If it's only my fancy or not That the sunshine of England is pale, And the breezes of England are stale, An there's somethin gone small with
 the lot
 For I know of a sun an wind, An some pains and a mountain be'ind. An some graves by barb-wire fence: An a Dutchman I've fought 'oo might
 give
 Me job were I ever inclined, To look in an offsaddle an live Where there's neither a road nor
 tree
 But only my Maker an me,
 An I think it will kill me or cure, So l think I will go there an see. Copyright, 1903, by Rudyard Kipling)

PET.

One of the best of the poems is a tribunte to the Boer under the title oi "Piet,'' written in the same spirit that produced Fuzzy WuZzy." Here are two stanzas from it: I do not love my Empires foes, Nor call 'em angels; still, What is the sense of 'atin those 'Oom you are paid to kill? So. barrin' all that foreign lot Which only joined for spite. Myself. I'd just as soon as not Respect the man I fight.

KILLINGS NEW poEns
Selections for Republicans Readers
 From Volume Just Published.

Twenty-Five new poems from the pen of Rudyard Kipling were published October 1. They appear in volume entitled, "The Five Nations," publish simultaneously in New York and Lon don, the American edition coming from the presses of Doubleday, Page X Co.,. The poet gained inspiration for most of his new work in the South African war, and several of the poems take rank with the best service songs that he sang in India in bygone years. He is generous in praise of the Boer and not afraid to ridicule the errors of his own countrymen.

THE DYKES.

"The Dykes" is one of the strong poems of the collection as the subjoin- ed extracts show:
 We have no heart for the fishing, we
 have no hand for the oar All that our fathers taught us of old
 pleases us now no more; All that cur hearts bid us believe we
 doubt where we do not deny There is no proof in the bread we eat or rest in the toll we ply. Look you. our foreshore stretches far through sea. gate. dyke and groin Made land all, that our fathers made, where the flats and the fairway join.
 They forced the sea sea-league back. They died. and their work stood fast.
 | We were born to peace in the lee of the dykes, but the time of our peace is past.
 I Nine fold deep to the top of the dykes,
 the galloping breakers stride,
 And their over-carried spray is a sea sea on the landward side. Coming. like stallions they paw with
 their hooves, going they snatch | with their teeth, Till the bents and the furze and the sand are dragged out, and the old | time Wattles beneath, Now we can only wait till the day,
 wait and apportion our shame 1 These are the dykes our fathers left | but we would not look the same 1 Time and again were we warned of the dykes, time and again we de- layed;
 Now. it may i'll, we have slain our
 sons as our fathers we have de- sroyed.

COLOR SCHEME SUGGESTIONS
4 Scarlet and White Dining Room-A
 Brown and Yellow One.

Now that science has demonstrated the effects of certain colors upon the human mind, 1t becomes important to exercise especial care in the selection of house furnishings. Color schemes are becoming more and more a study and many innovations are being intro duced with delightful results.
 X rather daring color scheme for a dining room, which, however, may be made very effective, is scarlet and white. A flat white paneled wall, with touches of scarlet in the frieZe, the chairs upholstered in scarlet leather, scarlet curtains, and in this case the table decorations must never be any thing but white or scarlet. or both.
 A brown and yellow room is, in it's way. perfect. too. Work up from a golden brown carpet to the palest cream imaginable in the frieze and ceiling introduce ornaments in ivory and upholster the chairs in Spanish leather. A brilliant turquoise blue bowl filled with bronze and yellow chrysanthemums will give the required relief. A strip of blue ribbon on the mantelshelf. hanging down at each side in stole fashion and handsomely embroidered at the ends in Golds and bronzes, will add tol the relief, without being too snsistent.
 A Persian rug at the fireplace with blue and brown colors pre ionl.nating will be effective. but ,he blue must only be felt in he room, and not strike one on entering.
 Dull blue and copper color make an excellent combination. A perfectly plain blue ingrain paper. a frieze con- taining blues. greens and copper col ors, a beaten copper fender and other metal work set with blue and green channels is the foundation of this scheme. Introduce copper color slight 1y into the upholsteries and hangings and keep the carpet a plain blue, rath- CT darker in tone than the wall paper. The blue must be toned upward until it gets into quite a delicate pale shade In the cushions. etc. Shade the lights with the palest yellow.

THE TWO KOPJES.

There is grim humor in the Two kopjes," which deals with the experi- ence of the British in fighting in the South African hills. Part of the poem follows:
 Only two African kopjes, Only the cart tracks that wind Empty and open between 'em, Only the TrdLsVaal behind; Only an Aldershot column Marching to conquer the land Only a sudden and solemn, Visit, unarmed to the Rand. Then scorn not the African kopje, The kopje that smiles in the heat The wholly unoccupied kopje, The home of Cornelius and Piet. You can never be sure of your kopje, But Of this be you bloomingly well
 sure A kopje is always kopje, And a Boojer is alwaye a Boer Then mock not the African kopje, But take off your hat to the same, The patient, impartial old kopje,

BUSSES IN PARIS AGAIN.

The recent accident in the Metropoli- tan Tube in Paris has had the effect of frightening away a very considerable part of the public which used to pat roniZe it. The immediate result is resusitation of the bus.
