PLUCKY GIRL ImmIGRANTS.
England To seek New Homes
In south Africa.

The domestic servant problem is
ieen IN England. 1t is critical in
south Africa-so much so that the
high commissioner recently issued an
appeal for respectable and healthy

make South Africa their home. In re
sPonse to this appeal 50 plucky young
women from various parts Of the Brit
ssh Isles have sailed for South Africa.

their physical fitness by the South Al
rican expansion committee, and il is
the present intention to send out 100
girls a month until the needs of the
housewives of the TrausvaaI Rho
desia, Cape Colony and Natal are salts
fed.
There were many affecting leavetak-
mgs at the committees hostel" in

Across these hills a wandering soul came

Til the life's great hope became n chain

and "A weary life seemed all I'm vain.

Nor the soul at rest again.

AN ERROR OF JUDGMENT

Algernon Barkdalc Smythe was
known locally as a snob. Some little

his debts ran high. A great many
things were unknown to- him, but one
fact stood Dut so clearly in his
feeble brain that what others he
Glanced to burdened with were quite

There was "A woman in Algernon's

CHOOSING NAME FOR BABY.
Strange Customs In Vogue In Differ
ent Countries.

Strange Customs In Vogue In Differ
ent Countries.
In some foreign lands the baby's
name is chosen in strange ways. The
poor little Chinese girls are thought
OF 20 little Importance that they rare
ly get a name at all as infants, but
are called No. !, 2, 3 or whatever their
place In the list of daughters may be.
Chinese boys are given a name by
which they are called till they attain
the age of 20; then their father gives
them a new name.
Japanese girls have pretty names,
usually those OF some flower, mi.
mosa." "Chrysanthemum," Cherry
Blossom" and in some parts of the
country the little laps do not receive
n name till they are 8 years old. when
their father chooses m for them.
Hindoo babies are named when they
are about IL days old, and It Is usual
ly the mother who chooses the name.
They, too, are fond of pretty flower
names for their little girls.
The Egyptians have a N odd way Of
choosing a baby's name. They light
three candles, giving a name to each,
but always call one after some deified
or exalted person. The baby Is called
by the name borne by the candle
which burns the longest.
MOhammedans sometimes write
suitable names on separate slips OF
paper, which they insert between the
pages of the Koran.
The first slip drawn out gives the
name to the baby.
