Atsins turned away instantly, and

In the early history of the nation
there had been a much applauded
maxim: "In time of peace, prepare for
war;" The people had never deviated
from their policy of applauding and
ignoring this wisdom Of one Of their
earliest statesmen. The nation had
never lost it's complacency-had never
succeeded in disillusioning itself. 1t
imagined it-elf peaceful, but in reality,
it was quickest to resent an injury,
fancied or real, surest to raise a popu-
lar demand for war, and least prepared
to carry it on.
Nation I'm a Trance
With the self-deceiving theory that
they we're not a militant people, they
had continued to delude themselves in
the lief that war for them was next
to impossible. Their history, record
Of conflicts made costly because under

serve to destroy this illusion-it was
mart of the national life.

waited for an answer without repeating
his petition.
"Go back to work." said Shod, finally,
seeming to dismiss the request as pre-
posterous. He had started to speak
calmly, but his manner changed. and
he brought his fist down on the desk
as he added sharply:

ACTIVE NORWEGLAN WOMEN.
Occupy Good Positions as Stewards
on CoaSting Steamers.

Bright young women in Norway fine

Vaded by their sex in this country. The
many steamers that plow the Norwe
g1an fjords and Scandinavian estuaries
and rivers employ young women tt
see to the commisarat and to arrange
for the personal comfort of travellers
ON board. Their official designation
is that of auxiliary ships officer.
That their occupation Is a pleasant one
Is proved by the numerous applications
at steamboat Offices from young Dan
| ish, Swedish and Norwegian ladies
anxious to secure such positions. This
life on the inland lakes and rivers,
is stated in fact to be immensely popu-
lar with the strong and energetic girls
OF Northern Europe. That the duties
involved necessitate a girls having
head on her shoulders goes without
saying, and many of the applicants are
daughters Of either naval or profes.
sional men, such as lawyers and
doctors.
1t is the duty Of the auxiliary ships
officer" to ascertain from the purser
OF the ship how many passengers are
booked on the outgoing voyage and to
lay in her provisions accordingly, with
an eye to ample supplies, at the same
time avoiding any risk in the matter
Of waste. She is further responsible
for the tastefully laid table and for
such additional house-linen as may be
required in the cabins during the voy-
age. Plate, china and even kitchen
utensils are generally her own prop
erty, so that she must necessarily pos
sess business ability in her selection
and care. Payments are arranged at
80 much per head and the lady steward
nets the profits over and above the act
ual expenses, and beyond this may de-
pend upon complimentary contributions
from the traveller. which being a GUS
tomary thing, may be offered and &C
cepted without offense.
Such an occupation with its self
respecting independence and its breezy,
open-air surroundings, is healthful and
exhilerating, while the constant stream
Of passengers and tourists, both old and
new, tends to the formation Of pleasant
acquaintances, at all seasons Of travel.
Another post filed by women on
board the Norwegian mail steamers is
that of postal official" Two Of these
young ladies always travel together,
their sole duty consisting in carrying
the mail bags to and from the points
Of embarkation and arrival. During
the voyage, the time of these girls is
practically their own, and they gener-
