7- THE INDUSTRIAL LESSONS OF THE WAR. TO-DAY we are living on the threshold of new heavens and a new earth, and the Utopian dreams of the past are now pos- sibilities, if not probabilities. Across the graves of our dead sons and brothers we see matters in a new light, and reaUse that their blood has been largely was- ted if it only serves to crush Prussian hate while leavingolasa hatred as active as ever at home. In the trenches it has no exis- tence. There is mutual respect! and goodwill betweenemcers and bmve .(tcèaa":ab:ti:.act8:J,f Jdn:d uC.sa.J In the ghastly realities of war petty advantages and mean sus- picions are seen in their true value, and are freely cast away as encumbrances in the great struggle towards victory. It would be grand if we could all undergo this experience a.nd realise that brotherhood of man which never shines so brightly as on the battleneld. That is impossible, but there ia ar feeling abroad that some approximation to it could and should be attained, and that in the nrst instance it should find expression in better relations on both sides between master and man. Appeals to the higher and spiritual side of man are sure, if well timed, of an emotional response, but there the effect often ends. for it is often impos- sible to translate aspirations into deeds. The, world is governed by economic laws, hence the say- ing Half the time of the wise people is spent undoing the evil wrought by the good people." Nature takes no heed of motives and never admits extenuating circumstances; it can only be ruled by those who obey it, and in industrial matters there has been a denanoe of the laws of economics. Sympathy, goodwill and sentiment, invaluable as they are, can never solve our present industrial difficulties un- less guided by knowledge. Lab- our wants more wages, and we all sympathise with the desire. Capital will not be content with less interest, and may reasonably ask for still greater returns. Under existingconditions neither gets what it wants, and dis- appointment breeds discontent. Either labour must produce more or capital must manage better; if both concur in getting the best possible output, then there is the prospect of the reasonable desires of both being gratined.

I I A BELGIAN'S IMPRESSIONS OF BARMOUTH. Ten years ago, when returning from I Ireland, I visited North Wales as Terra incognita," and like a disciple of George Borrow, I passed, rather tramped I through Barmoutb in the old fashioned way-a knapsack over mysboulders,;R I strong stick in the right band, and the I head covered with a large felt hat. Having bod tbo privilege to follow his steps in wild La Mancha and Andalusiar where I danced with his dear Gypsies and bandied Some of bis bibles, wbieb were stili left there, it was a great temptation to me to visit Wild Wales." It was the time, when I shunned the maio roada like pest, and straggled to learn the most necessary Welab words to get along with the farmers of the lonely homesteads in my wayward wan- dering. High was then the spirit, and great the wild fancy. At present, un. fortunately, as a melancholy exile, I have once more the advantage of dwelling in North Wales, and my impressions are necessarily diSerent, more subdued and serener. The BadQsôf ;9n.

Does one like beautiful mountain scenery; one will find it here. Does one like the sunny, golden sand, bathing or Rsbing; one wiji God it here. Does one like society, gaiety, cwrw dft, etc., one wiU Sod it here. Young married couples, especially those who are most carefu! to prevent any undue friction at, "ijJe very start of their honeymoon on account of disparity of taste or inclination on such matter, wiJJ always come here. I have eveo read, that more than a hundred years ago, boneymoonera of quality came here in. post-chaises, for that very reason. No wonder that every one wants to come here. At any rate, in the summer, Bar. mouth looks like a besieged town; I have even been told that now and theo iand.iadiesbave to go with their family for a moon.light strole during a part of the night. Is it a joke or a bit of envious slander, I don't know. Nowhere would one 6nd such a number of unoon. ventioaai, characteristic, tourists, with a gay, enthusiastic look, giving full sway to their most cherished idiosyncrasies. And I like such people. They are the stuff of which the future will be made. They are the innovators in customs, morals and art. The artist, this subtile and sensitive dreamer, will be delighted here. Nowhere can be found such a blaze of colour among the blacks and the greys of the rocks; nowhere such a scene of infinite wild- ness; nowhere such sweeps of golden sand along the rich tinted blue wa<.er of the sea, all on the sajoe spot. Has not Buskin, that genial champion of British Renaisance in Art, made here his headquarters for his artistic and social experiments. For the naturalist too, there is here a great neld open to him for re-search and investigation. The entomologist, the geologist, the botanist, the concbologisti may find it a rich bunting ground to complete bis collections with interesting specimens. For the lover of nature*, a morning walk in the silence of the hiUs, amidst the peaceful beauty of the high sum. mits, where the air ts purer, fresher and serener—bis heart wilt become warmer, and an inSnito charm will pervade a!! bis feetinga. Among the wild termoi! of rocks and crags, the heather and the fern, and the Sowers glittering with dew, hardy sbeeps are nibbling in peace the sweet short turf; in the distance the high perched, weird looking ridge of Cader Idris, whose rugged crest soars heavenwards into the blue, will strike deeply hia imagination. The dreamer, the poet, seated just on the top of the hill, which watia up the north side of the town, will like to peep down upon the o!d town: a quaint and rambling collection ef grey walled,:elate roofed houses, of unpretentions arcbi. teotaEe, poised on the aJope of the hi!i, bidding a seemingly eternal dpSanoe to time and storm, reminding one of San Remo on the ItaHao Riviera.. At the foot of the town, one Bees the incomparable breezy Estaary, crossed over by an immoBse bridge, on which a faint white potf of smoke is stealing aioog, when the London train brings its new batches of visitors. From the aame bU!, the gracdeBr of ,he orttlook ia unforg6ttab t-be *a, are clear and when the summer aan is aetting: a trail of go!don glory is qaivering over the deep tboogbta wiM arise in one's soul, in the presence of Bach splendour. This is the very moment to think in earnest, far from the maddening crowd, about the great tragedy in which the world is at present involved. The pecoMar pathoa of such a moment, in a man's life is indescribable. Anger, love,—despair, hope wi!i alternatively sway bis feel. inga—soob glorious wealth of beauty, and yet tragedy.
