Ever since nail was first driven or
wheelbarrow first mended the handy
man has been praised. But the handy
woman has been taken for granted,
and her accomplishments have been
so little celebrated that the woman Of
the future is in danger of despising
and neglecting them. 1t would be a
broken, torn, shiftless, comfortless
world In which there was no Jill Of
all trades. What does Jill do? First,
she is a skilful mender. The ugliest
three-cornered rent is concealed by
her clever stitches. She has even been
known to add an embroidered vine to
skirt to assuage the grief of the
child who had torn her best frock.
On occasion, Jill can solder a hole in
coffee pot or set a broken pane Of
glass. She is passed mistress in the
repair of disabled toys, and Is nurse
and doctor for sick cats and dogs.
Then what wonders she can work
with hairpin! She can lock bureau
drawers and unlock trunks with that
useful instrument. She can extract a
bean from the baby's ear and a reed
from a cabinet organ with the same
device. Jill is treasure in the kitch-
en-, for she can make toothsome
something out Of nothing. While the
others are talking about what is not
to be had for the unexpected guests,
she has killed hen and has it half
picked. Her minute pudding" Is as
good as her "hurry-up cake" When
she Is ten miles from a lemon, she
knows how to make an iced coffee
which Is a fair substitute for nectar.
Jill may pretend not to play the piano,
but everybody begs for her accom-
paniments. She does not daw, but her
sketches keep restless children happy
on rainy day. Although she declares
she has not single accomplishment,
there are people who would rather
hear her read aloud than hear any one
else sing. She is not a trained nurse,
but when she enters a sickroom she
seems to belong there, and II Death
| comes, she knows with what quiet
state he should be greeted. From the
cradle to the grave Jill is the right
woman in the right place, and the
world cannot spare her.

When Governor General Trepoff
was appointed by the Car virtual die
tator OF Russia, the first thing he did
to give the people taste of his power
was to summon additional bodies of
Cossacks to St Petersburg to put
down public meetings and to shoot
down persons who dared to partici-
pate in public professions. His next
step was to call a meeting Of the
heads Of the universities and colleges
and to advise them to raise the tuition
fees to 500 rubles to prevent the
matriculation Of poor students. A
tyrant's advice is as good as a high
wayman's command, and 1t is needless
to relate that Trepoff was obeyed by
the pedagogues. Trepoff's reason was
THE spread of education among the
people is dangerous to the govern
ment" In that one sentence is con-
fessed the whole story of the weak
ness and rottenness of the Russian
government.

WOMAN AND HER PLACE.

is robbed of half its charms when men

first takes q hand at mans work. A
thrill of comradeship-a sense Of
strength and purpose in life-but it
hurts dreadfully when the time comes
