Rudyard Kipling's Latest.

A PLEA FOR CONSCRIPTION.

Mr KuSyarct Kipliog contributes a poem entitled * (The Inlanders,' to the limes of JatiQary 4th, It ia a utirnng appeal to the Ufttioo to bring up Ha youth prepared for tho work of war* It has aroused much ■dvarae orlbicism throughout tha country, CCba followiog aca some of the lines :—

feoofld by yon? otrefal fathers, rioged'by yew leiidan seas, Irtßgdld JQ wake in quiet, and loof? He down at ewe; (Till ya said of Strife :-• What la it ?' Of the Sword s—' It is far from oar ken ;' (Till ye mads a sport of your shrunken hoatß and * toy of your armed men. Yd itopped yoae ears to tifco warning—ye would nei her look oar head— Ife tab yout leisure before their toil, and your'lßßta above their need, Baotute of four witless leaguing a«d your beille of warren and ebaue Y§ grudged your uons for their tervioe and your Se da for thak camplsg piaoo. Ye forded ihem glean In the highways the straw for the brioira they brought: Ya feroed them follow io byeways tho ot&fb that ye cover taught. Ifa hfaiered aod hampered and crippled 5 ye thrust out of eight and away Whom bbafc woald eervs you for honour aad fehose that served you for pay. OSJhen were the Jodgmente loosened ; then wm your ahame revealed, Ab the hamcli of a litbla people, few bat apt In the fia'di Yet y• war© saved by a retnnanb {aad yoar laod'a long sufferiog Star), When your strong men cheered In their millions wfctle your striplings weot to tba wat. gooi of the eheltered oity—unmade, rtc handled, ucmaofc— Ye poshed them raw to the battle mye picked them raw from the street. Aad what did ye look they should compass ? Warerafti learned En a breath ? Knowledge unto eooaaion at the first far view of Death ? Bo! Anil ye traia your horses and the dogs

ye feed and prise. How &r« she beasts more worthy than the

eoala yoanaorifice? Bab ye said :— * ODheir valour shall ahow them'; bat ye said :—' The end is close'; Aad ye seat them comfits and pioturee to balp them harry yoar foes, And ye vnaoted yoar fathomlesa power and ye fhanted yoar iron pride Sre—ye fawned on the Younger aitiooe f r the men who oottid ahoot and ride !

OOhen ye rtturned to yoar trinkets ; then ye contented yoar toals WSbh the fUtmeHed fooli nt the wicket or

the muddied oafs at the goals. Given to strong delusion, wholly believing a

lie, Ye liw that the land lay fenoaleas and ye let

tb» months go by ; Waiting eotiie easy wonder r hoping some saviog sign— Hie—openly idle—in the lee of the fore ep@ot Licet Xdlfl—-exoepb lor your boastiog, and what ia f onr boi»afcii3g worth If ja gradga a year of setvics to the lordliest life os Earth !

Ancient, effortless^ ordered, cycle on oyole ifflt— Life so long untroubled that ye who inherit forgot lf> wm not made with the mountains : it is not one with the deep* Men, not (Jodn, devised it, Men, oot God's, matt) keep. Bab with » Qatios trained in the arts of war : B® ye shall bide sore guarded when the restless lightnings wake In the womb of the blotting war cloud and

the pallid stations quake. So, *() the haggard trumpeta, ipsbant your

son) shall leap Forthright, full hsrneaeed, accepting—alert from the wells of aleep» No doubb but ye are the people—absolute,

strong, and wiae ; Whatever your heart has desired ye have

not with held from your cyan 0s four own heads, in yoar owa hands, the sin and the saving Use ! Oa year own heads, in your own bands, the sin and the saving lies !

Down on Rudyard Kipling.

(J?rom the Pall Mall Gazette )

Mr Rndyard Kipling catches it, aa the mothers of onr raw striplings would say * Insolent, mendacious, arsenic, white livered,' are specimens of the adjectives In » pro-Boer journal which, to spite him, discovers In itself an unsuspected admira tion for manly sportf and for the constancy of the British nation.

Maea more to the noinfc than such ioarrllitips is Mr W J Ford's temperate reminder that a good many ' flanellrd fools • have laid down their lives for their country.

Sli Herbert Stephen fcskes reasonable except!on too, to most of the positive statements in the poem, We have not fawned on our olonles ; our 'street bred ' soldiers are up to their work, and our easy way of taking a long war has its dignified side Mr Kipling has played fche common alarmist-, and, ifc mast be aided, the common scold. He has arraigned Ills country for slhs that; It has not committed, and suggested a, penalty— namely, conscription, which, however excellent! in theory, is quite fmpractibK From The Recessional to The Islanders "-lb is rather a come down,

Sandow's Advice to Business Men.

Eugene Bandow, writing in the latest iiambor of his magazine, gives come advices to business men : —

I would recommend, he says, everyone to walk at least a part of the way to busi ness, during which wa% rnoab of the problems of the d y can be sol red, thua leaving the mind free for detail work. The Innch ehoo'd, In my opinion, be light and nourishing. The ordinary * business' lunch is heavy and unwholesome.

in the evening, when the day's liboar Is over, tha day's worries should be completely forgotten. Easy to say you reply. Yes, and easy to do, if you stick to» healthy haNt of life and regular business habits. Parb of fehe way home, afc least, should be walked. Dinner should consist of at most three courses. The greatest mistake of the day lies In the heavy dinner in vogue. After sitting a while a walk should ba taken, and so to bed.
