he studied, although his life was far from
comfortable.
AT that time, although Jewish pupils
of the Conservatoire could live in the
metropolis, their parents were not allowed
to leave their own districts. But it was
necessary that Elman's father be with
him. the boy was so very young,-and
/ asked the minister of the interior, the
famous Plehve, who was afterwards killed
by revolutionists to permit this. l had
great difficulty in arranging the matter;
indeed it was no easy matter to see Plehve
at all; but finally got the necessary per-
mission.
Efrem Zimbalist came to my house with
his mother about eight o'clock one chilly
autumn morning. They both appeared
nearly frozen, and when inquired the
reason for their early call, the boy began
to cry. He told me they had been forced
to pass the night in the streets because
his mother had not permission to live in
the metropolis. She had come to seek
lodgings for him,-he, too, was only
child,-but the police had prevented her
from even getting shelter for the night.
wrote letter to the perfect of police,
explaining that it was necessary that the
mother stay with her son for a time, and
in courtesy to me she was allowed to re-
main in Petrograd one week. She found
lodging for her boy, and then went
away. Not only the young genius but the
father and mother of the genius also had
hardship to bear. But that boy who spent
his first night as student wandering
with his mother about the streets of Petro-
grad, shelterless and half frozen, was one
of the few to win the final diploma in the
full course at the nservatoire.-YoutHs

Another, whom l have always thought
these things. Being unlettered he came
to me to put his small accounts in shape
for him. After the exorbitant wages of
the day-labor he had been forced to hire
through harvest-time, his own reward
seemed humiliatingly slim. "It's enough
to make you want to try the shipyard,"
said.
He shook his head. "No, farmin's a
natural work. A man amt doin' it just
for what he gets out of it alone. He kin
always feel it's the most use he could ever
be. It's the most need. And l want to
do as l see, not be doing according to
what the other fellow says. l mightn't
agree with him." You can hardly call
him uneducated after that. Many trained
mind never reasons things so far.
But l know another who has raised
his work to where it truly belongs, among
the arts. The sweat of the harvest can
not blind his eyes to the least detail of the
life around him, the lark as we'll as the
hen, the weeds with the corn, the field
mouse reused by the tread of the eve.
He feels not only the triumph of his in
divdiual achievement, but the thrill of
growth and fruition through the greater
plan. He touches hands with Nature,
works with her under the vitalizing sun.
work is to be counted in his reward.-Ex.

TODAY'S PROBLEMS FOR THE
HINDU WOMAN

Such is the tradition of Indian woman
hood from prehistoric times until recent
years, when the impact of western ideas
on eastern broke the harmony of living
with loveliness An age of uncertainty
and crudity crept in. The calm medita-
tons of the maiden, her deep human love,
her simple, sweet aspirations, were rudely
shaken; the happy realms of inner peace
were broken by fierce winds of hybridism,
and she was thrust suddenly into the re-
gion of throbbing steam engines. Miser-
able indeed was the state of this new In
dian womanhood, tottering, unstable, and
its representatives, literary blanks, intel
lectual ciphers, moral weaklings, without
impulse to aid outside humanity and in
capable of exciting influence socially or
politically. What is left of the beautiful
spirit, of the tranquil mysticism, except
mournful shade of memory, the note of
lingering sadness, the longing after some
thing nobler, soul-satisfying which is not

woman of today still reigns supreme in
the sanctuary of her home, performing
her simple duties to husband, children,
friends and relations. Her education is
still based on the profound teachings of
the Vedas, Puranas, the Koran and the
Stuff poets, which gives her extraordinary
insight into the higher and deeper prob
lens of life. With her philosophic and
religious background, she has far more
accurate grasp of things than her western
sister realizes. Nevertheless, there have
arisen momentous questions which every
Indian woman asks with no hope of a
satisfactory answer, at least in the present
times. "What am I for? What am I to
do with my life? How shall 1 begin and
how shall l end?" Overweighted with
the perpexities of modernism creeping
into her life, she argues, "Is the world
coming to an end? Has tranquility
ceased to exist ?"-"Shahinda" Begun

MODEsTY

"A just and reasonable modesty does
not only recommend eloquence, but sets
off every great talent which a man can
be possessed of. 1t heightens all the vir-
lures which it accompanies; like shades
in paintings it raises and rounds every
figure, and makes the colors more beauti-
full, though not glaring as they would be
without"
"There is another kind of vicious
modesty, which makes a man ashamed of
his person, his birth, his profession, his
poverty, and like misfortunes, which it
was not in his power to rectify. If a
man appears ridiculous by any of the
aforementioned circumstances he be-

comes much more so by being out of
countenance for them. They should rather
give him occasion to exert a noble spirit,
and to pallate those imperfections which
are not in his power by those projections
which are; or, to use a very witty al
fusion of an eminent author, he should
be like Caesar, who, because his head was
bald, covered that defect with laurels."
An eminent author said: "Ye who lis
ten with credulity to the whispers of
fancy and persue with eagerness the
phantoms of hope, who expect that age
will perform the promises of youth; and
that the deficiencies of the present will be
supplied by the morrow."-By H. P.

FARMING

Farming is the one pursuit which all
the ages have failed to invest with the
glamour of romance. Perhaps this is be-
cause it began as womans work, one of
those inevitable necessities which may be
elevated to the status of homely virtue,
and rewarded as such. Perhaps it is be-
cause the yearly triumph of the harvest
was no such glorious pageant as the spoils
of victorious war; and there were no
expert economists to compute costs and
profits As civilization advanced there
were always slaves to turn to the monoton-
Gus tasks, and landholders merely super
vised without griming their hands by con-
tact with the soil. Even where some such
early Socialist as Cincinnatus recognized
the dignity of the occupation, his fame
rests on his political and military success
ses. We know he farmed, but who tells
us how wisely or how we'll?
In the early days of America came the
first chance to ennoble farming. The
highest as well as the lowest turned their
hand to it perforce. We were nation
of agriculturists. Songs were written
about the "horny-handed son of toll" and
praise melted out to him who earned his
bread, as the Bible puts it, "by the sweat
of his brow" The country beauty in her
crisp calico was compared with the silken
lady of the town to the latters detriment.
But the incontrovertible fact remains that
sweat is uncomfortable, and no poetic
rationalsm can make woman prefer
cotton to the fabric whose lustrous folds
whisper of luxury and ease, of lutes and
love, rather than soapsuds and self-denial.
And rarely does any one voice the inward
satisfactions which turn the balance.
Indeed, the: farmer who can recognize
them for himself is rare. For his ambi-
tons are as various as the minds of men.
One neighbor I have who wants money
money enough to retire. Money is what
everything he touches means to him; his
fancy invests each head of wheat, each
cackling hen, or newborn pig with the
Midas touch. I wonder if in the end he
will find the satisfaction he hopes in what
he dimly visions for himself as "city life"

Marie Corelli has been analysed re-
Gently as follows: There seem to be two
sets of ancestors fighting for the control
of her soul. One set is Latin; the other
Puritan. From her Latin controls she re-
ceives her ecstasy, her eroticism, her mys-
ticism, her power to fling words riotously
from her pen. From her Puritan controls
she receives her moral straightjacket.
"Good" and "evil' to her are not matters
of geography. A good man is saint;
a bad man is a souce-or worse. She
divides human beings and Classics them
as inexorably as Dante.-Ex.

Raleigh in 1887, and consisted of $50 men
and women. They landed at Roanoke,
Va. After this daughter was born to
Mrs. Dare, daughter of Gov. White. The
child, who was named Virginia, was the
first white child born in the new country.

to England with the ships to obtain sup
plies for the colony. He was not able to
return until 1890. In the meantime the
colonists had disappeared and belief is
that they were massacred by Indians.

ADVENTURES WITH YOUNG
GENIUSES

Today Mischa Elman is a rich man,
says Prof. Leopold Won Auer, formerly the
Russian court violinist in an article in
the American Magazine, but on the night
when l first saw him he was a poor boy
only ten or eleven years old. With his
father, teacher in Russian village near
Kiev, he had come to Elizavetgrad,
town in southern Russia where l was to
spend the night. They arrived shortly
before it was time to begin my recital,
and could not hear the boy then; but
after the concert, as I had to leave very
early the next morning, I told him to
play while packed for the journey.
When he began stopped my packing
and exclaimed in establishment, "Is it
possible" When he had finished l sat
down wrote to the director of the Conser-
vatoire at Petrograd the letter that got
Elman scholarship. His father was so
poor that he could not support the boy
away from home, but fortunately l found
some people who helped him to live while
