q A Little Discussion Concerning "Inetficiency'

The visiting LADY, witnessed scene
very nearly approaching a family jar
at a friends tea table the other even
Ing.
Anne, aged q, the daughter of the
house, is stehographer and had re-
turned home in the afternoon from her
work the same time her brother Henry
aged % who is a bookkeeper, arrived
Henry lighted his cigarette and dashed
the ashes on the floor, threw his over
coat and hat on the divan, while Anne
hung her coat carefully on a "hanger'
in her closet and put her hat and veil
away in her top bureau drawer.
Both were rather late that evening.
The mother spoke irritably about Anne
keeping dinner waiting and that she
ought not to be tardy at her meals but
never a word said she to Henry on the
subject
Anne flushed and let the matter drop
not because she was chronically amiable,
but on account of the company-"the Wis
fling lady
As the table was cleared for dessert
the mother spoke again.
She was saying that she expected the
'sewing circle to meet with her the
next day, and she had wanted Anne to
come home early and do some little
things about the house for her
Anne listened and when she found out
that 1t was cleaning the silver and wash
ing and ironing some dainty lace jabots
and collar and a pair of cuffs, she
nearly collapsed.
I'm so tired and tagged out mother
dear she said pathetically "Ive had
such a hard days work. The other
stenographer wasn't at the office today
and that was why 1 was late. l had
double work to do"
Anne's mother frowned and remarked
that she couldn't understand what had
come over her daughter lately She was
so unaccommodating and always tired.
The visiting lady heard the entire CON
versation.

Put Whisky on His Grave

Lord Crewe entertained last Monday a
party of officers newly appointed to gov
ernment service in India, says a London
letter to the New York Sun, and In his
address to them told the following story
of simple faith which he had heard in
India years ago:
"A young subaltern who went alone on
a shooting expedition away into the wild
country OF the Malabar coast was at
tackled by fever in the Jungle. died and
was buried, and the people where he died
felt themselves in no little difficulty as to
how his spirit might be pacified and not
haunt them. 1t was necessary therefore
to place upon his grave something dis
tinctively British which would keep the
spirit quiet.
They were 100 miles from any canton
ment, but l was told that small party
of these simple folk went down to this
cantonment and purchased bottle of
whisky, two bottles of soda water and q
paper of cheroots, which they placed on
the grave; and / was told that in spite Of
difficulties every year a party of them
trotted down for the same purpose.
well, whisky and soda water are not
things to be spurned at the proper time
and place, still less cigars, but should
somehow wish that the concrete EXPIRE
sion of our national genius had been in
some respects different"
From the Boston Transcript.

she had finished she excused herself from
the visiting lady and said she'd go up
stairs because she was so worn out and
tired, IL the lady didn't mind.
Her mother looked displeased. because
she wanted her to entertain the visiting
lady.
When she got to her room she jumped
into her kimona and loosened her hair
and got out her silk stockings and washed
them, and was nearly ready for bed, when
a message came that another visitor had
arrived-a man who had a superb bari
tone voice-an old friend of the family
and her mother wanted Anne to play his
accompaniment, so she could hear him
sing.
Anne is a natural born pianist and if
there'd been a little more money she
would have gone to some conservatory of
music-but there wasn't, so she became
a stenographer.
OF course Anne would rather have died
than dressed and gone down stairs again:

Then he goes to the office.
About o'clock his strength begins to

He goes home tired and worn out and

What man would stand for such a

and that men wouldn't put up for min

Not long ago a woman asked working
girl friend of mine why she didn't make
her own clothes. and said by doing SO
she could save Just half.
The girl replied:
"Why don't you make them in the even-
ings?" the woman asked her.
The girl was lunching at the womans
house at the time and couldn't be impolite
or saucy, so she merely said:
I'm too tired and worn out
A few days later the "onslaughter came
again.
This time 1t was 'in the open," so to
speak, and the girl could answer as she
chose.
why don't you make yourself some of
those dear little blouses that are so effec-
tive, but cost so much ready-made?" the
woman asked.
.'If made them l couldn't wear them,''
she said rather severely.
"Why not?'' demanded the other.
Because they wouldn't ft," was the
reply. "The skirts would hang uneven

Whether Combe Martin is to achieve
again past glories remains to be seen,

Search for Roman Relices

Archeologists are takini the keenest
interest in the excavation works which
have just been begun on the site Of the
old general postoffice, st. Martin-le-
Grande. The site is to be utilized for
the new offices of the accountant-gen-
erals department of the postoffice, but
it is expected that the city corporation
will take part of the ground for the
purpose of widening Aldersgats street
and Greham street, says a London writer
in the New York Sun.
There can be no discoveries for some
few days, as the men are still at work on
the bed of concrete, which extends to q
depth of five feet. Then their work will
be carried out under the eyes of archae-
ologists, for it was on this site that st.
Martins Priory stood in years gone by.
1t is not forgotten that when the foun-
dations of the Goldsmiths institute. near
by were being laid traces of Roman oc-
cupation We're found, and the expectations
of valuable finds are increased by the
fact that the Roman wall ran along at
the north end of the site.

but what was she to do?
Like the adored ''man-child' of the
family-Henry-she would have enjoyed
staying In her room In slippered ease
and kimona-ed comfort but then she
would have been charged with inhuman
selfishness by her mother and sisters and
so she dressed herself and went down
and played accomplishments until IL
O. clock.
The next morning, after a good night s
rest, Henry, refreshed and spick-and-s d-span,
arrives at breakfast. eats a huge meal,
and with masculine efficiency goes about
his work.
Poor little Anne 'drags," because she's
a woman, and if she mentions NERVES"
the family boots at her and says she s
getting old and grouchy.
At $50 that afternoon, just as she is
about to shut up shop" the boss
comes to her and in an apologize tone,

Mines Discovered by Adrian Gilbert

The Combe Martin mines were first
neglected about the time when England
was torn with the factions of York and
Lancaster; but, to quote Smell again: I'm
the reign OF the Great Eliza, a new
silver mine was discovered by Adrian
Gilbert, a half brother of Sir Walter
Raleigh; and John Popper, a .lapidary,
and n Sir Bevis Bulmer contracted for
half the profits Each compiled $4,000. :"
Again left to ruin, the mines have so
remained-but for the intermittent and
insignificant attempts to revive the in
dustry, which, in relation to the fore

reign, 30 pounds weight of silver was
yielded by the Devon silver mines at Beer
Alston and Combe Martin. Two years
later the output had increa sed to 704
pounds hundredweights and three years
after that the mines had reached a stage
of Importance whereby native LABOR
proved wholly inadequate to work them,
and great patches of miners were i'm
ported from different parts of Wales, and
from Cornwall and Derbyshire.
Great was the profit in silver and
lead" says Smell. in his book on North
Devon, "and, as war must be financed,
it is scarcely an exaggeration to declare
that the battles of Crecy and Poitiers,

were won in the shafts of Combe Mar.
