Eczema Always Burning and Itching 'Soap snd | titerary achievement FOND OF DIFFICULTIES Distinguished Canadian Authoress is of Scottish Descent and the Blood of the Early Adventurers Is Strong In Her Veins--8he Has Competed 'With Men In Many Capacities In Journalism. = In pioneer work the fortitude and adventurous spirit of woman have usually been taken for granted or in- cluded with masculine effort in euch a fashion as to cbseure the feminine element. The women who came out to Canada a century ago and who helped to make homes in the wilder- nes; were made of stern stuff, and their virtues of endurance and indus try are too lightly regarded iu this uge of machine-made garments and speeding 'atitomebiles, 'when "hurry" seems to be the universal motto, says Jean Graham in The Globe. The world has always been. ready to admire the adventurous spirit in men, whether it be a dashing Cavalier Prince Rupert or a sober-minded Puritah Miles Standish." It has not been mo ready to recognize that there art woméh also. for whom the un- trodden paths and far trails lave an irresistible fascination. Our pioneer Tgreat-grandmothees may have come to this country as the wives or daughters of men eager for toil in a new world 4 rather than from any personal desire for a home in the western world. Yet I believe many of them enjoyed the trails and new phases of Vile in the unmade Dominion with the zest of the true adventurer. There are women who love explora tion for its own sake, and who enjoy to the full the life of prairie or hill- side, They are not at all masculine in the objectionable sense in which that term in sometimes applied to women "who have ambitions aside from the domestic sphere; but they have a kind of boyish love of "fresh woods and pastures pew." Such a brave spirit was Agne® Deans Camer- on, who lately passed from all earthly | wanderings to rest 'Beneath the low green tea Whose curtain riever outward swings. Such a nature is the inheritance of another Canadian woman writer, Miss Agnes C. Laut, who is never Jhappier than when exploring the pre- historic: caves of Arizona or the far reaches of a British Columbia stream. Miss Laut, like Migs Cameron, is of Scottish descent, which means a great deal in a country whose rivers, from Fraser to Mackenzie, show where the venturous Gael hag been. She has the inmate perseverance of the rac which delights in a '"'deefficulty," and which finds relaxation in theo logical argument. She has proved work the greatest enjoyment in the world. . Miss Laut belongs to Ontario by birth, but went to Winnipeg when a chill and is consequently claimed as a typical western woman in intellec. tual briskness and ambition. Her maternal grandfather was the, late Rev. Principal rge, PD. of Queen's University, Kingston, and ghe is thus related to Mrs. H. 8 Strathy and Mr. W. K. George of Toronto. Miss Laut was an indus. trious student as a schoolgirl, and more than one.instructor tells of her early determination to succeed' in She was edu- at Manitoba University and became an editorial writer on The Manitoba Free Press in 1895. The New York Evening Post, Thé Réview of Reviews, The Montreal Herald, The World's Work, and Outing have also claimed her editorial activities Thera are some natures-for whom the story of past accomplishments has an infinite fascination; there are others who seem to possess little of that historic sense which can revive the scenes of long ago and bring back the figures which flashed along in the voyageur's canoe or which journeyed into the silent white places of the far north. Miss Laut seems to unite the historic imagination with an intense. ly practical grasp of present affairs so that she is equally enthusiastic aver the romance of the historie strug- gle between two great trading com panies or the account of a vast en- gineering enterprise of the twentieth century However, this Beottish- Canadian of many ambitions admits that research work among the old 'documents of the Hudson Bay Co records is one of the most engrossing occupations on earth Years ago Miss Laut obtained ac cess to the Hudson Bay literature in England, and found material for a library of good storfes, and with char- acteristic thrift and energy, she turn: ed the unvarnished entries to good ascount in the novels "Lords of the North" and 'Heralds. of Empire" followed by "The Btorp-of the Trap- r." "Pathfinders of the West" and Vikings of the Pacific."® Like Kip- ting's "William the Conqueror," she jikes "men who do things," and de- lights in telling of the work and tra- cated vel of a Vancouver, a Mackenzie or | a Radisson. Miss Laut has been an eminently successful novelist, but she savs that. financially, her history, "The Conquest of the Creat North. west," has heen her most satisfactory book, which may surprise many of us who have cpnsidered this an age given o o fiction. : When she was asked how she man- aged to travel so far and write so much and yet keep so cheerily well, Miss Laut replied: "By disappedbing for about-three months of the year into the wilds." In her use of the Jast word Miss Laut refers especially id alin, WAThORT merott and withqut fear. declgres that she fosirss nuthing tle A ava od ive --k , J QUEEN MARY'S HOME, Opened With Meney tothe "Mary Fund," and Will Do a Lot of Good.

The walls were of red bricks interrupted with freqifént black beams, the bottle glass windows where white-curtained and sash tied, while the oak entrance door, elaborate with worm-eaten carvings, led into a hall reminiscent of yule logs and boars' heads and punch bowls.

In the capture of penguins for their oil there is being carried on quite an industry at Macquarie Island, which s about half way between Tasmania and the Antarctic continent. This is- {and belongs to the state of Tasmania ahd has an area of about 25,000 acres, wing about 25 miles miles wide. It is leased by the Tas- manian Government to Joseph Hatch, who has established the penguin oil industry there, ' There are probably 80,000,000 pen- guins on the island, so that the stock to be drawn from seems almost limit- less. There are also a large number of sea elephants about its shores. The oil is obtained from the penguins by boiling the carcasses in digesters cap- able of dealing with B00 birds at a time. It is barreled up and sold to binder twine makers in Australia and New Zealand. . Macquarie Island is about 750 miles southeast of Hobart. It is barren, be- ing covered only with tussocky grass. Whaling ships visitingsthere have in. Hg rabbits - and Maori hens, which are now quite prolific. The Mawson Antarctic expeditiop from Australia has established a wireless station there, and daily messages are mow being received at Hobart. A Chance He Missed. Joseph Chamberlain and the late Sir William Harcourt were flerce poli- tical - rivals, but warm personal friends. On one occasion in 1886 Mr, Chamberlain was staying at Malwood, Sir William's home. The guests were inseribing their names in the. visitors' book, one page of which was already full, when it came to Mr. Chamber- lain's turn. "Now. is the great chance of your life, Chamberlain," said Bir William. "You will-be-able to turn over a new leaf." - "I will be hanged if T do!" retorted Mr. Chamberlain, and he turned the book around and wrote his name cn the margin of the full page. Interested In Agriculture. The British Royal Agricultural- So- ciety has secured a very distinguished president for next year. The Earl of Baring family, to which Lord-€romer and Lord Revelstoke also belong. The family owes its rise. to John Baring, son of Franz Baring, a minister of the Lutheran Church at Bremen. This John Baring settled at Larkbeer; near Exeter, in 1747, and rapidly prosperity as a merchant and cloth manufacturer.

SEPTEMBER > "A POET'S ROMANCE. of Asolo. The death of Mr. Barrett Browning ply son the famous has occurred at HH Asolo 'as the result of asti ¢ love story of the of poet wwhn « recalls the romanti apd Elizabeth Browning Barrett's father had an almost, f his three and Robert ert insane objection to any daughters marrying. Browning's addresses force kept secret. Finally, on Bept 12. 1548, the two were secretly mar. tied at St. Marylsbong Church London. A week JAter Elizabeth, slip-. ping out of her father's housg, depart. ed with her husband for Italy. In April, 1847, they took up their resi- dence in Florence. Of "Lassa Guidi" the home w their only son was born in 1849, -Mrs. Browning wrote, "We live for nothing or next-to-noth. ing, have six beautiful rooms and a kitchen, three of them quite palace rooms, apd opening on a errace op- posite the grey wall of a church called 'San Felice' for good omen." The name "Wiedemann," which was be- stowed on their child, was the maiden name of Robert Browning's mother, the daughter' of a German shipmaster. who had settled in Dundee and mar- ried a 8eottish wife. Robert Browning loved his mother passionately, and her death, coming soon after his son's birth, was a terrible blow to him. 1 Mrs. Browning's father, whose fam. ily name was Moulton, and who had taken that of Barrett on succeeding to» estates in Jamaica, never forgave his daughter for her audacity in ! marrying against his will. When she returned to England with her husband and child he refused to see her, and when she wrote pleading that he would at least kiss the child, the letter went unanswered. On the death of his wife at Florence in 1861 Brown- ing took his son to London to be edu- cated. The boy was brought up in his father's house at 19 Warwick crescent, the poet having resolved tc train his son for the university with. out. sending him to a public school. The profession eventually chosen by Mr. Barrett Browning was that of an artist. The poet himself had at inter vals exhibited a strong artistic bent | outside literature, and occasionally suspended his other work to devote himself to modelling. The early suo cesses of his son as a paintergave him great pleasure. In October, 1887, the younger Browning married Miss Fan- nie Coddington, an American lady, and the two eventually resided in the Palazza Rezzonico, at Venice, where the poet breathed his last. The records of the lives of the Brownings show the deep affection they hail for their son. When Mrs Browning's "Aurora Leigh" was near- ly finished, the Brownings left Flor- ence for England, afd on the journey the box containing the manuscript was lost at Marseilles. In the same box were also packed velvet suits and lace collars in which the little son was to have made a brave appearance before his English relatives His mother's distress at the loss her son's wardrobe far outweighed her concern for the manusgript. Happily the box was recovered. Robert Browning, referring to the composi. tion of "Aurora Leigh," wrote: "My wife used to 'write it and lay it down to hear our child spell." Asolo was the scene not only of Robert Brown. ing's "Alsolando," but of his equally, fambus poems, "Pippa Passes" mn and "S8ordello."" The town was in the 15th century the residence of the beautifu! Caterina Cornaro, the last Quuen of Cyprus, after the forced resignation of her kingdom to the Venetians in 1489. "The ruins of the castle that she inhabited are one of many old-time relics in the town, whieh is surround. ed by a wall with mediaeval turrets. The Only One of Its Kind. On an evening somewhere about the end of the sixteenth century a travel. er from Sweden might have been ob- served at the door of the Rose Theatre in London. He was going to sée a new | piece called "Titus Andronicus," and in order to follow it in the native lan- guage he bought a copy of the play, price twelve cents, at the theatre door. When, he went home "to Bweden he took the book with him to show his wife and friends what strange stuff the foreigner ranted. For 308 years it was preserved and. in. 1004, being discovergd in the home of a country- woman, was. transferred for safety te the Lund University. The book is the only ene of its kind known to exist. Robert Browning's Son Dies In Town A Silent Land. theve iz a silence of the grave. This "deathlike silence has-a peculiarly de- pressing efléct.
