groups of the Fishes and the Whale can
best be traced out; the remarkable variable
star Mira of the last constellation which
was SO bright three months ago cannot
now be seen except in the telescope. It's
extraordinary periodic outpouring of light
will again occur at the beginning of next
July. At this time the sun will be in

A Quiet Reply.

MFRS. JULIA WARD HOWE, at the re-
Ava cent meeting of tie Newport Civic
League I'm Newport, said of woman's
work:
There are innumerable retorts that we
can make to those who tell us that
woman's sphere is exclusively the home.
and all these retorts are as neat and
pointed as the one the young wife made
to her mother-in-law
"a young wife, You know, was contin-
ually pestered by her mother-in-law
about the way she was bringing up her
first-born babe. The young wife was
intelligent and capable, and she was
really doing very well with the baby.
From her mother-in-law, however. she
got nothing but sour advice warnings
and yelled abuse.
''One day the mother-in-law, looking
fxedly at the bride with her baby ON her
lap. said angrily:
A woman has no right to have a
child If she doesn't know how to hold ifi'
. No. nor tongue either. was tho

Special Correspondence or The Star.
LONDON, October 20, 1910.
DISCONTENT with their pay and pros
Il poets on board ship has led to an
alarming number of English officers re-
signing their posts to take up positions
on land. In fact the merchant service
is threatened with serious problem.
According to the latest figures, the aver
age salaries of merchant officers on
steamships of over 1900 tons range from
SOS month for a first mate to $37 a
month for third mate. Sailors say to
themselves, II had better chuck the sea /:
it's place for a married man." and
thereupon get an appointment Of some
kind on shore as soon as possible.
When Capt. E. W. Owens, the secretary
of the local marine board of London, was
interviewed with reference to this situa-
ton he said that the problem is due to
the fact that the schooling on board
merchant ships has ceased to be demo-
cratic.
There is Il growing tendency on the
part of ship owners to demand higher
premiums he said. For instance one
OF the large companies requires every
apprentice to pay $500 cash down, besides
providing his own outfit and pocket
money.
Now, is it worth while for a father
TO send his son TO sea when other pro-.
LESSONS offer more in return for the
the service at about twenty years of
age at a salary of $40 or $40 month
They must stick to the company that
took them on if they expect any advance
ment Then at thirty,fi years of age
they are extremely lucky if they receive
5000 a year. Meanwhile their CONNER
cial brothers on land are laying down
the basis OF their fortunes, and young

officer, therefore, often becomes discon-
tented and careless.
Many of the young fellows who go
into the service are those who failed
to get into the navy. who We're 'plucked'
in their final examinations. They then
find they have no social position i'm the
merchant service-a merchant captain, by
the way, is thought less of in England
than in any other nation on the earth.
To these boys the life on board ship
seems hard after being pampered at home.
Most of them are too well provided for
by their fathers. They have too many
clothes, get too much to eat and too
much pocket money. The result is they
put on a great deal of side.
Although this is an old story. il will
serve to illustrate the attitude of these
boys: One day one of them was asked
TO climb up and stow the royal. He
watched the sail tearing in the wind, but
made no move toward ii. When the
captain inquired. more or less politely.
if he was going TO obey orders, the young
man replied All. let il rip. and put il to
fathers account
In this way the code has become in
verified. The other day the superintendent
of large shipping company walked into
the saloon of one of the company's steam
ers to find a cadet sitting at the head
of the table while the junior officers sat
at the sides tthere Were no senior off,
GERS presenD. The superintendent was
amazed at the cheek of the cadet. and
the young fellow had asserted himself as
the son of one of the directors What
nave these boys got to look forward TO
when they are promoted If they already
have all the advantages of their supe-
riors?
Furthermore. this modern tendency to
premiums results in the door being shut
against any other class Of bors. or
course. this isn't saying that the ind-
yldual smart boy is not bound to get alon.
The only way. however to make the
prospects brighter is to give more wages.
On the other hand. can the owners af-
ford to increase the wages? 1t is strictly
commercial proposition, into which sem
ument should not enter
''The situation is simply social revo-
luton Contrary to the usual deduction
sailors are not worse than they ever
were; seamanship is in the breed
Then captains should have more Sc
cur1ty OF tenure; one accident and YOU
are out of a job. and. after ALL il you

States wouldn't you have to live ashore?"
