in a thought-impelling article with the title, "The Importance of Being Useless, - ' an Australian paper just to band points out that it is the men and women who do the most useless things in life and who can Lest be spared-"they never would be missed"—who get the highest rewards cowadays, whilst the man on the land is neglected. Tne article instances a Gaby Deslys, a Parisian dancer, drawing a salary of £IOOO a week, of Georges Carpentier, the French pugilist, winning from £SOOO to £IO,OOO a year, ot Harry Lauder drawing a salary which makes a judge's luok mean and paltry, and of Melba geting large sums for a few minutes' singing. And the writer appositely puts it: "l>*one man of supreme necessity is the agricultural labourer. A nation can do without its artists or its statesmen or its merchants. At a pinch it can do without its artisans and its mechanic. But its agricultural labourers, in ihe widest sense, are its very life. If the crops go unharvested, sheep unshorn, the cattle unfed, the wealthiest nation is a dead nation.''
