4. Sledge -Rammer Style.
Some mistressea may keep plenty ef ser -
vents to do their work, but fail to keep
them any length of time entirely from their
own manner towards them. They adopt
the sledge -hammer style; down on alservant
at once for every offence or failure, however
small. Wheals want of management is this 3

ed for, or a trying east wind may make
even the mistress herself look on the worry-
ing side of everything. How much better
is El on such occasions, instead of working
oneself into a temper and giving the unfor-
tunate maid the benefit of this state of mind,
to sit down quietly and try to look all round
the difficulty not only from the mistress'
point of view, but from the servants! and
how often cen a reasonable excuse be found
for the failure! And then a quiet reminder
of it, such as "So-and-so was not quite right
to -day, but I remembered what you had
to do,” etc., is far more likely to produce a
good result than a stormy attack. It is a
good plan, too, if anything voes wrong in
the household arrangements, to talk it over
quietly with the servant who is in fault, and
hear her excuses—she baa a right to offer
them,
we like our own to be respected—then
pointont a remedy. If you do not know- of
any, try to find one before you apeak. Al-
ways have a suggestion ready; it may not
be a certain cure, but year aerrant will per-
fectly understand that you have nob been
satisfied, and will try more another time
and with a good spirit of determination to
succeed; for servants, I am sure, thoroughly
esteem a mistress who has perfect control
over herself, and who ean, in spite of pro.
vocation, point out with a dear head and
kind manner where the mistake has been.
Shakespeare in Chinese.
The news that the Dowager Empress of
China has ordered a translation of Shake-
speare's plays into the ()hinese language for
the atady of the heir to the throne is a dra-
ma(' indication of the literary progress of
the Celestial Empire. The Chinese have a
vast and varied assortment of histrionie pro-
duotions of their own, many of them relies
of antiquity and composed by sages, yet his
Majesty will find some novel plots, Seenes,
ated views in the tragedies and comedies of
the Bard of Avon. Let us bope that, besides
reading them by himself, he will order their
performance on the Pekin stage. It would
be worth while going there to eee "Mace
beth," "Othello," "Lear," "Hamlet," "The
Comedy of Errors," "Much Ado about No-
thing," "The Merry Wives of Windsor,"
and "Romeo ana Juliet" performed by
ROSA motors.

the long examination to -which he was sub-
