i PAGE TEN - FAMOUS FRIENDSHIPS SCHOOL CHUMS WHOSE NAMES jo WILL LIVE IN HISTORY. Richard Steele and Joseph Addison Were Comrades at the Charter. house, Johnson and Garrick Were at School Together at Lichfield, and Lamb and Coleridge Were Bilue-Coat Boys, i At the Charterhouse School two boys met and chummed up whose association in after-life-is-immortal. These lads were respectively known "Ns" Dick Steele and Joe Addison. When Steele bad served several years in the Horse Guards he started a little paper called the Tatler, and he got his old chum, Addison, te write for it. The paper only consist- ed of one article a day, and out of a total of 271 numbers te which it ran, Addison wrote forty-two. Then they started another apd still more famous paper, called toe Spectator, which to 566 numbers, and is one of the treasures of English liter- ature, It is said that it was Steele who invented Sir Roger de Coverley, although Addison continucd his his- tory and doings. Dr. Samuel Johnson and David Garrick were at school together at Lichfield, but Johnson was a big lad when Davie was-a little one. But as Johnson used to go a great deal to the house of Captain Garrick, Da- vid's father, he and the smaller boy were great friends, and so they re- mained to the last day. Garrick was one of nson's three pupils when, for 4 time, he tried to keep school, They went to London to- gether, but whilst the greater man was starving in Grub street the great actor wis playing to kings and princes, and making as much money as he could wish for. Certainly the record of school friendships is glorified by that of Lamb and Coleridge, who were at Christ's . Hospital (the "Blue-coat School") together for seven years. There commenced ' that friendship which only terminated with death, and, singularly enough, they died in the self-same year, 1834. It is sad that Coleridge. used to meet Lam = --the Temple, seize him by one of the buttons of his coat, shut his eyes, and begin one of his marvel- lous es which made him the most famous talker of his age. Lamb generally listened patiently, but having an appointment one day he gently cut off the button, and when he returned that way an hour later found Coleridge, still spouting. A remarkable friendship was that between Thackeray and Venables at the Charterhouse, inasmuch ag it was the latter who, in a school scrap, broke the future novelist's nose, an sccident which marked him for life, and a fight which appears in several of his books, notably in "Vanity * and "The Newcomers." In te of this sad fight Venables and keray remained the best friends until the novelist's Thockeray ost invariably called his old Ro at Slaughterhouse," although, as he grew older and his memories , he renamed it "Grey Friars," a hore Colonel New- The historic literary friendship of Tennyson and Arthur Hallam did not commence at school, but at Trinity College, Cambridge. - Each was in his Binoy h Jons, however, 86 that they were mare than school- \ Hallam went with his nm to Lincolnshire, where was introduced to the poet's sis- whom he became engaged, the friendship between gifted lads deepened.

London has recently witnessed the birth of a new evening paper. Few apart from its own public have heard of it, and most Londoners would no. be able to read a word of its news. It is in Yiddish, and it makes the fourth of the Yiddish dailies now published in Whitechapel, An ex- amination of the four Yiddish dailies is a revelation of the great alien population that has settled down in east London. by linotype, with.a: good" show of adverfisements, and read eagerly In foreign Jewry. One claims a cir- culation of 124000 a day, a corres- pondent to the Times (London) tells us. They are entirely written in Yiddish, save for a few words of necessary imprint, and an occasional phrase in an advertisement. English news is reported, but the Yiddish newspapers are fo a speeial degree cosmopolitan. Ulster, for example, is a topic of interest, as a trouble in Portugal might be to a Londener; but a rumor of a pogrom in Russia is a vital event. The Yiddish population of London mostly comes from Russia, Poland, Roumania and Galicia, German Jews form only a small bedy, but Rou- manian Jews are a powerful element. There are 60,000 Russian and Polish born Jews in Londen, In addition there are their English-born fami- lies, who retain the racial instincts and language of their people to a surprising degree. They are still a race apart. They haye their own theatre in Whitechapel road, where ie Jewish traveling companies come in their world tours. ma- tically, Shakespeare is their great favorite -- Shakespeare in Yiddish, In the theatre you can see some of the great masterpieces of the Euro- pean drama performed before west Londen has discovered them-- Strindberg, Gorky and the dramatists of the north. But to see this drama at the best one needs to attend a distinctively Russian Jewish play. Not very long ago the writer wit- nessed a dramatic reproduction of the Beiliss trial there. To west Lon- don it would have been incompre- hensible; in Whitechapel it was, as it were, a leaf from the lives of many present, Hiy has done much-tosid oe But their life affects the nation at large and demands national atten- tion.

Costly Australian Pests, Australia is cursed with certain pests, such as rabbits, wild dog, kan- and blow fly. Large sums of money are spent in an endeavor to lessen the number of rabbits. It is estimated that im Victoria alone 160,000,000 were put to death in 1913. It is generally admitted that 10 rabbits eat as much as one sheep, and many graziers have long sinee realized that they cannot profitably run sheep on properties infested with rabbits. Natural enemies, such as foxes and wild dogs, which are troublesome in certain districts, tend to keep the rabbits in check, assisted by the wire netting fences that land holders are erecting.

It was built in 1670, and owes its fame to the fact that, during the year 1803, Tom Moore, the Irish poet, while holding the of- fice of registrar of the prize court of admiralty, spent much of his time here, The historic building is now used as an inn. We approached the house through a driveway of cedar trees, writes 1 correspondent of the Monitor, an between their green branches caught our first glimpse of its whitewashed walls and roof. It is built of the native limestoge, and is a good ex- ample of early Bermudan architec- ture. The house is two stories in height, with a long front facing the driveway, and is capped by a steeply sloping roof. Several store porticos break the severe lines of the walls, and add to the general attractive- ness, Here we had made arramge- ments to have a "shore" dinner. At the right of the house were two small reservoirs cut in the solid stone, partly filled with clear salt water. The floor of one was covered with aetive crawfish -- Bermudan lobster, We were told by our host to select from these crawfish the one we wished served for our dinner.

The skirt is very full and trim- med above the deep bem with two bands of self-material. Blue satin rib- bon forms the deep belt and outlines the neck. To moke the dress requires § yards of 36-inch lawn and 1 yard of all-over lace. The plecing for the skirt is laid on a lengthwise thread of the lawn so that it will be ready to be sewed to the gores as soon as cut. The skirt proper, however, is arranged on a lengthwise fold of the lawn, The bands and small- er plecings are laid on a fold of the goods, crosswise of the material, and to the right of these are placed the outer facing (on lengthwise fold), the back and the sleeve, the last two on a lengthwise thread.

Patching Battleships. After a naval battle sailors have several methods of stopping the in- coming water when a battleship. has been hit below the water line. For instance, if a small hole has been made in the vessel's side, an appara- tus like an umbrella is used. This is thrust through the hole point first and then drawn back so that it will open like an umbrella=--leaving the canvas outside. Of course, the pressure of the wa- ter effectually forces the canvas against the ship's side, thus stopping the leak; but to make it more secure the handle of the umbrella, which is formed like a screw, is fastened by a nut inside. } : In the case of a bigger leak--- when the ship has been stove in be- low the water line--a large mat made of canvas and oakum is used. This has to be fixed into position by means of ropes. But the fixing is not a very easy matter, as one rope has to be got right under the keel, to the other side of the ship in order to drag tho mat down to the hole, Two or three ropes are also required at different angles to guide the mat to its right position. Strange Method of Salutation, Of all the strange modes of salu- tation the most extraordinary is the "dance of ceremony" current in the west African kingdom of Dahomey. Whenever any Dahoman chief or of- ficial of rank comes to pay you a vigit he always opens the interview around you with various Queer contortions (extremely sug- gestive of his having just upset a ftle of boiling water over his knees), which you are bound to imj- tate as closely as possible.

'| situation created in Britain by WORK FOR WOMEN, Interesting Epglish Experimen, Has : Met With Success. The efforts to meet the economic the war, have produced no more fruitful and interesting social experiments than thos) which have been organ- ized by the central committee for women's employment. The commit- tee is financed through the Queen's work for women fund. It was rightly anticipated when?! the war began that women and girls would suffer greatly from unem- ployment, and the idea of the Queen's furd, through the commif- tee, was to prevent this, by provid- ing them with useful work for which wages would be paid, and which would not compete with other work- ers who were normally employed in the labor market. It was clear that if the work to which tbe unemployed women were put was not to compete with that of others already employed, many would have to undergo special train- ing; and it was also seen that one of the best ways to insure that the committee's workrooms were run on an economic, as distinct from an un- ecosomic, basis, would be to use them to establish new industries. So this very able and indefatigable com- mitte looked to Austria, Germany and France for ideas, with the re- sult that they are successfully estab- lishing industries which have hith- erto been carried on in those zoun- tries, but not in England. There is the industry of making crochet buttons, which is a cottage industry of Germany and Austria. For these buttons, which, by the way, are also made by the peasant women of Brittany, there is in Eng- land a large and steady demand. They are ball shaped buttons cover- ed with crochet, and are used for trimming blouses and dresses. Some are made flat and so make very de- corative fringes; and their uses have been extended by the women's em- ployment committee who have train- ed their employes to make them into heads for hatpins, and buttons for BERR... erosive roetiiodi Another industry taken up by the committee, which is carried on in Austrian cottages and in the con- vets of Belgium and northern France, is that of making embroid- ery tor fine under-linen. This ex- periment, like that of the crochet buttons, is meeting with much suo cess and may be the beginning of a new industry for Englishwomen. Most of the women engaged im this work are dressmakers. London dressmakers who have been made unemployed or under- employed by the war number a great many, and they have been success- fully taught other tradss hy the committee, Many are now engaged in making flannel belts, shirts and socks.
