My Lady's Satohl.

By MiL.E.

For the benefit of yoaibful readers who ratj not have heard the old Greek ligead of Theseus and the Minotaur let me give a brief and homely version of it. Long long ago there reigned over Altio* *n aged "King, nuraed Aegene, who bad one dearly loved son, who was all a Greek Prince waa ex pected to be, and that is saying a groat deal in his praise. Now, in a moment of weakness this aged King had mn lented to make piece with Minos', King of Crete, upon einguladj dis««lvantagß ous terms. Athens wm to send annually, • tribute of seven fair maidens and seven noble youths to Crete—not to br come the slaves of ita King, that would fa&VB besn bad enough, but to be de voured by an awful monster called the Minotaur, that this King apparently kept as a pet, well fed tnd pampered, a roytl favourite. One lovely morning, not long after Theseus had came to Anthens and been introduced to his father, he awakened to hear the air heavy with gobs, and moms, and shrieks; e?ery waft of breese brought soands of sorrow *nd weeping and lamentation. What conld it all moan ? That day the Third Contingent was to be choeen and sent on board s ship rigged with black sails, as befitted the monrnfnl character cf tbe voyage. No eoonei did Theseus hear th'B explanation, than fee nobly offered to enlist and girding on his famous sword ha cheerfnlly took bis place in the band, devoted to the protection of their country, Then the ■tory goes on to tell how this heroic Prince offered to enter fch© Miaotaur'e labyrinth first, and bow (now, please pay great attention to this part) by the •id of -ft beautiful yoang J&meel, named Ariiftdoe, be met and slew the monster, ■not gratefully acknowledged that with out her sit! he could not have destroyed li. lltsu the rest of the Third Contin gent with Theseus (and I rather think Ariadne west with them) returned in pitiful haste to Anthens—but unfortu nately) they forgot to exchange the bI«A sails for white ones, as Theseus hM promised should be dono if they all came back safe and sound, and the poor old King anxiously watching on the brink of » cliff, catching sight of a ■ombre herque entering the har bour, flung himself in despair into the m* t which has ever sioce been called the Bgean Sea, which shows that this story is more than half true. How, what do you think of this 1 seems to me an allegory. Alas ! fcha Awfal Minotaur war, still Kvea and rftgea and devours ; and more Kings Mid Governments than one make a pet of him, and keep him well fed and pampered and have not the least wish or intention to destroy him. And every year this hateful tribute of noble youths and fair maidens, yes, oar tri butes includes fair maidens too.- Does a young girl live, think you, with her heart in a South African grave ? Mai dens, did I say in our offering we may reckon an equal number of mothers, they too rendered up fcbeir all, to keep Ibis hateful monster in existence, and even little New Zealand hag exceeded Athens of old, her Contingents have reached tea, and yet the Minotaur devours, and devours, and devours His crimson jaws stiil drip with the Wood of oar ' brightest, bravest, and fees*/ and where is oar 'Theseus, 8 nobly to m%ke the attempt and stay the hideous creature, and where oh,! where is the young lady, the ! Ariadne' of today, without whose aid he cannot destroy this all-devouring, loathsome monster. If only oar * fair maidens' would'do noble things, not dream them all day long,' if they would take that good advice given them in 'Sesame and Itilies,' and be determined to help to stay this dreadful thing called war, How deep would be the nation's grati feiide. Listen to this, there is not a war in the world, no, nor an injustice, brat you women are answerable for it, not in that you have provoked it, but la that you have not hindered it* Young women will yoa not think of tfaiit

To the Ma About Forty.

The man who has a message worth delivering only begins to grasp, tha meaning of Ufa at thirty five* Until thirty, the active human mind k a well vitalised body is merely a, combination of Urgent, anreasonlng brain cell?, contending one with another, lew of as know what w© want, or why we want It, whab we mean to do, or how we • mean to do ib, before thirty, We f nly know we are longing wad striving and seeking.

Jt Is only a very orade, the wholly undeveloped being, however, who rests under this delusion. The worth while as&D soon awakens to (he fact that he has merely left life's kindergarten at thirty— and la ready now to enter the graded ichool He la rid of some foolish notions, he has ocfcgrown some toys. He la ready for real study.

By thirtyfive hs has jaat come to kaow how little he knows, how much remains for his learning, His powers of enjoyment are keener, hie ideals are higher, his strength h greater than before. H^a !a almost; ready to enter life's cojlsga. Ab forty he is ready. He knows himself ; he has developed hfa will po«:er, be has the hm& of self control upon the reins of Ms passions a^d agpetlfces .j. h©. has made jßiate^eaarjd'been educated through them, »ad lie k&owe what he can do, and how he caß.db it.

' Fifom forty to. Blx'y he Is In fche very prime of life. His best work shonld be c|one during these years, bis greatest anjojmeat of life found. It Is after forty, ©ften after fifty, not before thirty five, lbs* h!a ' message is deliveyed.*
