A Test of Raging,
Let nim who pretends to be a master
of English letters say whether he has
read the prose works of Milton and of
Dryden. Has he first hand knowledge
of the Elizabethan dramatists other
than Shakespeare? Has he really pe-
rused all of Edmund Spenser’s poetry?
What does he know from his own read-
ing of the “Advancement of Learn-
ing?’ Has he read all of Sir Thomas
Browne's prose and John Donne's po-
etry? And the great English pulpit
orators—Jeremy Taylor, Fuller, South
end Barrow—has he mastered their ser- ,
mons? |
Can he truthfully testify that he |
knows all of Swift, Johnson and
Burke, all of Bishop Berkeley, Daniel
Defoe, the novels of Richardson, Field-
ing, Smollett and Sterne, the histories
of Hume, Robertson and Gibbon and
also Hume’s philosophical essays, the
prose of Coleridge, Wordsworth’s “Ex-
cursion,” all of Shelley, Jane Austen’s,
Maria Edgeworth’s and Disraeli’s nov-
els? These are English classics, books
which no gentleman’s library should
be without and with the contents of
which a well read man ought to be ac-
quainted.
One would wager much against.littie
that the ordinary man who calls him-
self well read has not read 50 per cent
Servants in Eagland.
wuue mistresses and housemaids in
this country are struggling to solve the
vexed “servant problem” they do not
appear to take into consideration the
fixed forms of etiquette governing the
treatment of servants in England,
which probably do much toward pro-
moting mutual understanding between
the servants and the served over there.
A housekeeper, a lady’s maid and a
head nurse belong to the heirarchy of
a household. A lady’s maid wears no
cap and when in attendance on her
lady is expected to be well but quietly
dressed in black or some sober coloring.
Her wages are from $150 to $200 a
year, with the reversion of her employ-
er's wardrobe. An English maid is al-
ways called by surname, “Smith” or
“Jones,” but a foreign maid’s first
name is used, ‘‘Marie” or “Francoise.”
A lady speaking of her maid to other
upper servants, such as the butler or
the housekeeper, would style her
“Smith” or “Marie,” but when men-
tioning her to housemaids or footmen
she would be careful to allude to her
as “Miss Smith” or “Mlle. Marie.”—

The German Professor.
“With the passing of the old type of
| German professor—formerly the butt
of the comic papers, he of the shabby
' clothes and absent air—has gone much
of the old student life of Munich,”
writes N. Hudson Moore. “The mod-
ern professor is dressed in the mode.
He commands a large salary which,
with his fees for lectures, often ex-
ceeds that of the German secretary of
state. He enjoys his advantages, good
clothes, good food, the opera, athletics,
and, according to a critic of his own na-
tionality, ‘his aspirations are often dis-
tinctly commercial’ Many German
professors earn from 50,000 to 200,000
marks (4 marks to the dollar) a year,
so the period of a pipe and garret is
quite past.”

Music Ax A Lure.
The death deuling cobra is passion-
ately fond of music, and it is through
this means that its capture is often ac-
complished. The men in India who
can effect the capture of this deadly
reptile must be possessed of remark-
able skill or their lives are the forfeit.
When a cobra takes up its abode in the
neighborhood of a dwelling house it is
customary to send for the professional
snake charmers. One of them strikes
up a tune near the place where the
snake is supposed to be located. No
matter what the creature may be do-
Ing, it is at once attracted by the sound
of music. It emerges slowly from its
hiding place and strikes an attitude in
front of the performer. There it is
kept engaged with the music while the
other man creeps up behind with a
handful of dust. At a convenient mo-
ment, when the cobra is standing mo-
tionless, this man suddenly throws the
dust over the head and eyes of the
snake. Immediately the cobra falls its
length upon the ground and remains
there for one short second, but the sec-
ond is enough. With a movement like
lightning the man seizes the body of
the prostrate serpent just below the
head. In great anger the cobra winds
itself round and round the arm of its
captor, but to no purpose, for it cannot
turn its head and bite. If the fangs are
to be extracted at once the captor
presses his thumb on the throat of the
cobra and thus compels it to open its
mouth. The fangs are then drawn
with a pair of pinchers. If, however, he
wishes to keep the snake intact for the
present the musician comes to help
him and forcibly unwinds the coils and
places the body in a basket, all but the
head, which is firmly held by the other
man. He presses down the lid to pre-
vent the cobra from escaping, and sud-
denly the captor thrusts the head in
and bangs the lid.
A very expert performer can capture
the snake single handed, though it is
highly dangerous. While playing with
one hand he throws the dust sideways
with the other and captures the snake
with the same hand. The whole action
must be like a flash of lightning, for a
half second’s delay or the merest bun-
gling in throwing the dust or catching
the snake would prove fatal to the
operator.
A Real Miser.

“Say, ma.” queried little Dolly, “what
is a miser?”
“A miser, my dear,” answered the
The Bushido.
“The bushido” means “the moral doc-
trines of the samurai,” and they are
obeyed by all the statesmen, soldiers
and scholars of Japan of the present
time with as much holy respect as the
Christian's reverence for the Bible
and its teachings. In Japan Buddhism
is the popular religion, but Buddhist
teachings are not respected by educat-
ed men or soldiers. In fact, most of
them are atheists or agnostics, who
do not believe in any religion but the
doctrines of “the bushido.”
“The bushido,” for instance, teaches
a man or woman to have the courage to
perform the hara kiri if he or she com-
mits a serious offense. The spirit of
this doctrine is that the offender should
kill himself instead of waiting to be
executed by the law, which latter is
considered in Japan as one of the most
cowardly thing. “The bushido” also
teaches that the life of a Japanese is
a gift of the holy mikado, and if the
country needs the lives of her people
they should be given gladly, for that
is only to return to the mikado what
they have received from him.
To die on the battlefield is the only
key for a Japanese to find his way to
his Shinto heaven, and the soldiers
who were not killed on the battlefield
are considered unfor.unate. It is main-
tained in Japan that if a man gives
you a favor or money or pleasure you
should return it with more than what
was given to you—Hydesaburo Ohashi
