men who fish in troubled waters.It is, he says, the standard of Satan.The writer expresses surprise at the apathy of the municipal authorities, and aske if the mayor of Montreal is not vested with the same powers as the mayor of Chicago, who took the red flag out of the hands of such processionists.The letter concludes as follows: \u2018Wis dom in government consists not only in \u201cstopping,\u201d but also in \u201cpreventing\u201d disorders.Demonstrations of this kind lead, elsewhere, to barricade, dynamite and bloodshed.Must we go through such an experience before acting?When our police are overwhelmed, shall we have.as elsewhere, 50,000 soldiers to come to their rescue?If we do not wish to perish from the sting of the serpent, there is but one thing to do, crush its head while it is young.Let us not bequeath to our grandchildren an inheritance of hatred and trouble.Such demonstrations make us blush with shame.Could not the newspapers abstain from advertising them?Anyhow, we ask the city attorney whether the mayor of Montreal has.the right to forbid the red flag and revolutionary demonstrations in the city; if he has not, we ask, what is to be done to secure that right for him?= EMBROIDERY COMPANY ASSIGNS.Morris Zimers, carrying on business under the name of The French Art Embroidery Manufacturing Company, has consented to assign ai the demand of the Corticelli Silk Company.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 DRUGGIST ASSIGNS.Toussaint Evariste Gagner, druggist, has consented to assign at the demand of J.E.Perrault.ty by an \u2018unknown person.| GREGORY MAXIME.Political Fugitive Said to be a Prisoner on the Way Back to Russia EFFORTS TO HAVE THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT DEMAND HIS RETURN TO AMERICA.;

London, May 16.\u2014At the eleventh annual meeting of the Navy League, this afternoon, Mr.H.F.Wyatt said his tour of the Empire had convinced him that the appreciation of the sea power had widened and deepened in Canada.Among British-Canadians he bad found the feeling very \u201cstrong.Among the French-Canadians, naturally, it was less powerful, due probably to the absence of knowledge.he reason Canada was glow in contributing to the navy would probably be found in the \u2018existence, side by side, of British and French-Cana- dians.; Dr.G.R.Parkin said it was difficult for Canada to assume her share of the burdens while developing postal and other facilities, taking charge of thousands of immigrants now entering the country, and assuming charge of the fortifications, a step in the right direction.Until some Imperial scheme was devised it was difficult to see how the colonies could vote large sums of money without a voice in its control, When that was attained they would give freely.re NOTES AND NOTICES.The construction of additional metallic lines by the Bell l'elephone Company ot Canada has just been completed between Toronto and Brockville, and between Toronto and

Agents, 144 Peel Street.= a RELIGION CRITICIZED EMMA GOLDMAN GIVES HER VIEWS AS A SOCIALIST.ts Emma Goldman, the socialist and anarchist, of New York, lectured before a large audience last evening in Empire Hall, on \u2018Religion\u2019 She spoke in Yiddish owing to the audience being mainly composed of men and women who understood that language.Mr.M.Levitsky, a recently arrived Russian immigrant, was in the chair, and introduced the lecturer as one who had won renown in advocating the principles of liberty\u2014from the anarchistio standpoint, When the lecturer rose to speak, she was warmly applauded, the ladies present being especially enthusiastic.She said in part: y objection to the orthodox religions of to-day is that they stand in the way of enlightenment.They hinder the mental progress of the masses, and hence contribute to darkness and superstition rather than light.What is the use of any religion as a code of morals or conduet if it proves itself powerless to remedy the evils from which society is suffering?She then discussed the question of the existence of a Supreme Being in view of the persecutions heaped upon the Jewish people for so many centuries.The whole of the address was a violent attack upon existing religions, mainly because, in the opinion of the lecturer, they supported the system of capitabem and its alleged attendant evils, At the conclusion of her address Miss Goldman stated that she was prepared to answer questions put to her by the audience, but only ome availed himself of the invitation.fpr ROYAL ARCANUM.The seventeenth anniversary of the founding of the Royal Arcanum in Quebec was celebrated last evening in the Inglis Hall by Prince Albert Council, No.1298, R.A., in conjunction with the Ladies\u2019 Auxiliary, at which there was a

Regent G.A.Forbes.Light refreshments also were served.At the council meeting arrangements were completed for the concert and dance in Stanley Hall on June 1, in aid of the Royal Arcanum California Relief Fund, which promises to be a great success.During the evening a telegram from the council was despatched to the Supreme Council now in session at Old Point Comfort, Virginia.re SON GOT FATHER'S \u2018AUTO\u2019 A peculiar action was entered in the Superior Court yesterday by Mr, Joseph Dorion, of Lachute, through his attorneys, Messrs.Fauteux & Fauteux.This is a claim for 81,000 against the Eastern Automobile Company, Mr.Dorion alleging that, having placed bis car in the garage of the company, when he came back for it he was told that his son had taken it away on the strength of an order bearing his own signature.The automobile was not returned, but has been found, it appears, at another place, slightly damaged.The owner now claims it back from the Eastern Company, or, in default, asks the value thereof.TIMEKEEPKR GELS GOLD.Mr.Frank Bell, the timekeeper ot the Canada Paint Company, was the happy recipient of a purse of gold, last evening, from the employees of the company.The

were leaving, Mr.Bell was taken wholly by surprise, and, amid the assembled employees, was presented with the purse by Mr.Thibeault, Mr.Millette making the presentation address.Mr.Hell responded briefly, thaaking them for the most unexpected and Kindly gift.He was then seized and \u2018bounced\u2019 amid the héartiest of cheers from his friends.Mr.Bell has been an employee of the Canada Paint

APPEAL FROM THE NICHOLS CHEMICAL COMPANY, MANUFACTURERS OF SULPHURIC ACID.Ottawa, May 17.\u2014The special committee of Parliament appointed to consider the Government's proposed Sunday Observance legislation inet yesterday afternoon and evening to draft its report t~ the House, and succeeded.in reaching an understanding on most of the principal points at issue.Another meeting will be held, however, before the report is finally approved.Yesterday's sitting was private.It is learned, however, that the committee favors the insertion of an amendment dealing with the case of smelters, blust furnaces, cement works and other mills and factories where a certain amount of Sunday labor is unavoidable.Where Sunday labor is essential to the efficient operation of such concerns it will not be prohibited, and in the cvent of dispute it will be for the courts to say whether individual mills or factories come under this exception or not.Provision will also be made to allow of repairs being made on Sunday where the safety of employees\u2019 lives might otherwise be affected.The Sunday newspaper must go.An appeal was made to the committee on behalf of five British Columbia morning papers that publish Sundays, but give their employees a rest by bringing out no issue on Mondays.The committee cannot, however.close its eyes to the undesirable features of the sale of newspapers on Sundays, and will, it is understood, frame their finding accordingly.The newspapers publishing on Monday mornings will be allowed to set their staffs to work at eight o'clock Sunday evenings.The clauses dealing with the Sunday operation of trains will be to some extent of the nature of a compromise.The bill as drafted by the Minister of Justice did not interfere with passenger traffic, other than to put the ban on Sunday excursions.The Lord's Day Alliance is willing also that the railways should have the right to cary certain freights on to their point of destination even though to do so involves Sunday labor.The bill may be further amended to allow, for instance, of the delivery from the cars on Sundays of perishable goods imm:diately on arrival, and the transter irom train to boat or elevator on wheat arriving trom the West on Sundave ar the terminal points on the Great Lakes.Sunday labor will wot be forbidden upon vessels where it is essential to their leaving port on scheduled time.It has:been painted out to the committee that the vessel ownersin their own interest will use as little Sunday labor as possible because of the higher wages they have to pay for such work.In most of its essential points, however, the measure as sent back from committee to the House will probably conform pretty closely to the principles laid down in the measure as prepared by the Government.The final appeal to the committee with regard to the Sabbath Observance Bill came yesterday from the Nichols Chemical Company of Canada, and Mr.Piers Davidson, counsel, and Mr.E.L.Pincott, manager, asked the committee to enlarge the privilege with regard to Sunday work.They said that the sulphuric acid manufactured by ther company could not be made unless the operatives were permitted to keep up continual fires and handle the product without respect to Sundays.The committee was of the opinion that the insertion of the word \u2018chemicals\u2019 with the list of words exempted would accommodate the Nichols Company, and the view was concurred in by the representatives of the company.\u2014 A DISASTER AVERTED LAST PASSENGER LANDS FROM FERRY BOAT JUST AS SHE SINKS.New York, May

settle before the last of the 150 passengers and the several teams on board had reached the landing stage.Al got ashore safely.however, and the crew was summoned to the upper decks before the

consequently there is more encouragement given the trolley companies to keep their pleasure resorts in good order.We can only hope for a change in the habite of many of our people along these lines.When that time arrives the company will be onlv too anxious to do its share towards making our euburban service as pleasant and comfortable as possible.\u2019 INDUSTRIAL ROOMS MANY WOMEN HELPED WITH WORK DURING THE YEAR.At the forty-fourth annual meeting of the Industrial Rooms, held yesterday, Dr.Barclay, who was in the chair.read the secretary and treasurer's report.Ac cording to the report more work had n done than ever, and the only bounds of \u2018ts future growth would Le set by the market for the articles which were being made for the society.A hundred and forty-two women had been supplied with work during the year.Mention was made of the kind assistance of friends, both societies and individuals, and of the faithful work of the superintendent, Miss Rhind.The treasurer's report showed a substantial balance upon the might side.These reports were adopted on motion of Mr.R.Lene, seconded by Mrs.John Turnbull.;

Messrs.Rowan Bros.are showing an attractive exhibition of Beaver Branch Caledonia Water, ginger ale, cream soda, \u2018Iron Brew,\u2019 a health-giver and tonic, and kola.The Edwardsburg Starch Company have a splendid booth, showing off their corn starch, laundry starch and table syrup to the best advantage.Tasteful decorations of blue and white bunting, together with flowers and palms, make their showing very pretty.The many medals and diplomas which the products of the company have won are also on jew there.Messrs.Charles Gurd & Co.have an exhibit of practically every line of temperance drink known.Huge gas tanks stand at the corners of their booth, which is made up of a high core of bottles of the various beverages made by the company.The walls are hung with a profusion of the medals\u2014gold, silver and bronze\u2014as well as the many diplomas which the company has won.Their exhibit is very attractively planned.TORONTO ESTIMATES THE MAYOR INTIMATES THAY SALARY OF CHLIEF MAGISTRATE SHALL BE 55,000.Toronto, May 16.\u2014A%b the special meeting of the City Council to consider the estimates this afternoon, Mayor Coatsworth read a message un which he stated that he would accept $5,000 as salary for his work as mayor.He recommended that the by-law be amended fixing the salary of the mayor at that amount.The increases recommended for the city treasurer, Mr, Coady;

at band, and the usual record of drowning accidents may be expected.A reiteration of the oft-repeated admonition to such persons that their first duty to themselves and others is to learn to swim is again called for.Swimming is an accomplishment easily acquired, and should be part of the physical education of every boy and girl.It is not only a healthful and delightful recreation in warm weather for strengthening the body and developing the feeling of self-confidence, but also an assurance of capacity to save one\u2019s own life and the lives of others on occasions of danger to which all who venture on the water are liable.For the naturally timid, the very people who should learn to swim, the easiest and safest school is at the swimming baths, where the knowledge that they can alwavs put their feet on the bottom gradually develops confidence in their ability to keep afloat.In many cities in the United States there are swimming schools where, for a trifling fee to cover the cost of instruction and accommodation, any one may learn to ewim, which most boys can in a few lessons.Something is done in this line in Montreal, and possibly more might be in connection with our public baths.Thère has been some instruction for years at the free bath at St.Helen's Island.There should be more publie baths.Indeed, there might be such in our public schools.and a couple of hours might be eet apart in the school week during which the pupils of both sexes could be taught to swim and how to conduct themselves in cases of emergency.This subject is well worthy the attention of the proper authorities.\u2014_\u2014\u2014 Our British order of Parliamentary proceeding has been for the time being reversed in the Russian Douma.With us the programme of the supposed majority is voiced in the speech from the throne and the reply merely echoes it, unless it be found that majorities have altered, in which case the reply contradicts the specch.In the Newfoundland, - Douma it was left to the House in its reply to the Czar\u2019s apeech to set forth the programme of the majority.This has been well and prudently done.There would seem to be a sufficient majority of what are called Constitutionalists to control the House.The demands of the Douma, as set forth in the reply, seem to have been confined pretty much to what the Zemstvoists eighteen months ago declared to be essential to the peace of Russia, namely, constitutional government on a basis of universal suffrage.Amnesty is demanded for all politiéal offenders who are not otherwise criminal.Nothing, however, is said in the despatches about the nationalisation of the land.Though a majority prahably would like to see this among the demands, the majority leaders have apparently prevailed over the radicals in a determination to weight their demand for constitutional government as little as possible.A despatch, with the confusion of thought whieh pervades most of the St.Peters- burg despatches, tells us, on no certain authority, that the Czar is minded to grant thisin a half-and-half way by promising to choose hie ministers from the majority of the Lower House, but that he will not allow the House to choose them.This is a contradiction in terms.If the ministers must have a majority of that House behind them, they will be chosen by the House as completely as they are under our system.With us it is the King and not Parliament that appoints ministers, the only limi tation being that they must as a whole command a majority of the House of .Commons.rt Mr.Burke, the Canadian commercial agent, located at Kingston, Jamaica, in his official report of this week, advises the dairy produce shippers of this country of a few complaints against Canadian butter, attributing the inferior quality of the same to the high values recently ruling throughout the Dominion for finest creamery goods.Exporters are said to have allowed the standard of butter for the Jamaica market to drop to à degree that has created a distinct prejudice against the product manufactured in Canada.Mr.Burke rightly suggests that it would have been wiser policy to have added the extra charge rather than allow an inferior brand to leave the country for a market that has many future possibilities.On the other hand, it is not clear that the situation is so desperate as Mr.Burke suggests, as even in his report there is only ope intance mentioned of inferior butter being shipped to Jamaica, and, in that case, the butter had been shipped from Nova Scotia, there he- ing admittedly nothing wrong with the product that had been shipped in jars by a Montreal house.It is not to be expected that the finest creamery butter can be shipped if the price offered is below the market value in tha principal consuming markats of the British Isles.The obetinecy of British conservatism is shown in a remarkable manner by the defeat of successive efforts, extending over many years, to harmonize the marriage laws of England with those of the colonies.Yet this is one of those minor questions involved in matters of Imperial unity which must be settled, and can only be settled by removing the disabilities that are imposed on colonials by English law.These, in this case, may only affect a very few, but the anomaly of certain marriages being legal in the colonies and illegal in England contains an imputation which cannot be allowed to continue indefinitely.The King, before his accession to the throne, always attended the House of Lords when the bill to legalize marriage with a deceased wife's sister was up and voted for it.There is a great deal of force in Lord Elgin\u20198 argument in support of the Colonial Marriages Bill as to the necessity for regulating the succession to real property.Not.only Lord Strathcona, but all the peers who have, or have had, relations with the colonies, support this bill.including Lord Lans- downe, whose knowledge of colonial sentiment is not surpassed by any British statesman.But the High Church is a power whose opposition is not easily overcome in the House of Lords, and in this matter it is conscientious, and therefore unyielding.\u2014_\u2014\u2014 Discussing the question of allowing socialist parades in the atreets, aldermen came to the sensible conclusion not to interfere with them unless they caused a disturbance of the peace.The parades that have taken place have had a good effect in showing the public what revolutionary socialism, as symbolized by the followers of the red flag, amounts to in Montreal.In number of paraders, the turnout was insignificant, but it became ridiculous when the subscriptions taken THF, MONTREAL PAILY WITNESS with British institutions, as it is at enmity everywhere with society as at present organized.The fact that with individual exceptions the.paraders were recent importations into this country accounts for much.They have brought with them the ideas they imbibed in the lands of oppression ffom which they have come, and for which they will find the climate of Canada uncongenial.This is a land of plenty and security, inviolate of personal rights, where the -conditions which give rise to socialism do not exist.l'hose conditions are tyrannical government, hopeless poverty, unjust laws, lack ot education and the moral disease that comes from under-feeding, over-crowd- ing and the denial of opportuni ties for improvement in the lot of tra toilers.The remedy is freedom.\u2018this Canada gives to all who come to her shores.The people rule and, having the power to adjust their grievances m their own hands, they are content with the institutions which insure freedom, safety and orderly progress.The sooner our socialist new-comers realize this governing fact in their Canadian environment the better it will be for their present comfort and future welfare, TIT FOR TAT.Alderman Lariviere complaing that we do not bury our sorrows concerning the awful state of our roads and sidewalks sufficiently.He says that we have been so advertised abroad in this connection that people come here expecting, as it were, to find holes in our coat.In Toronto, he says, he was chaffed about it by the city engineer, who asked him: \u2018Are your streets in Montreal as dirty as ever?\u2018Instead of making such a \u2018 criticism,\u201d says Alderman Lariviere, \u2018he \u2018should have taken note of the state of \u2018the streets under his own charge.From \u2018the City Hall for thousands of feet the ; \u2018road was far more dirty than Craig \u2018street here is.I am merely stating \u2018this to show that it is only a habit, \u2018but a very bad habit, of carping crib | \u2018cism we have here\u2019 Imagination shrinks to contemplate what a roadway must be like if it is more dirty than Craig street at its best, or worst.Bat that Toronto cannot afford to crow ovet Montreal in respect to its roads is com firmed by the Toronto \u2018News,\u2019 which tgHs us in a thres-column black heading that there are 4,882 holes in the pavements of Toronto\u2019s leading business thoroughfares so far discovered, and that the end is not yet.On Sherbourne street, between King street and Carlton street, on Monday morning, the \u2018News\u2019 reporter says he counted 711 holes.However, there are now twenty-one repair gangs Mat work, so that the reproach is in the way to be wiped out, although thé \u2018News\u2019 says that the number of gangs could easily be doubled, and then the men would have work enough to keep them going for weeks, perhaps months.If Rochefoucauld\u2019s epigram, \u2018In the ad \u2018 versity of our best friends we often \u2018find something which does not dis- \u2018 please us,\u2019 has any foundation in fact, Alderman Lariviere will not weep about the showing up that Toronto is getting; but, while he may gently rejoice that she is not perfect, even in the eyes of her own newspapers and citizens, perhaps he will make a note of those twenty-one gangs being at work in Toronto repairing the rents in that city\u2019s pavements.It may give him a hint that a few gangs bere, on like business bent, would not be- amise.HUMANITY VINDICATED.Humanity has been vindicated by the splendid prodigality of contributions for the relief of the sufferers by the San Francisco earthquake.The total amount of subscriptions, $6,204,408, shows how enormous and ava\u2018lable for instant use, are resources of the nation when re quired to relieve distress.Pessimis's may say this is a bad old world, but the kindly and charitable people are the majority in it, and only need to have their sympathies awakened to make them hasten to the relief of the suffer ing.Not less remarkable, as offering 2 key to human charac'er in the aggregate, is the buoyant optimism ot the San Franciscans in hurrying to rebuild their shattered homes, warehouses and public resorts, as if they had assurance that a like catastrophe would not ce cur again.Yet tH's is not the first time San Francisco has been shaken, and may not be the last.Still the doctrine of averages holds good, and the capitalists and merchants of the «ty are proving their faith in it by rebutld- ing.They believe apparently that, as lightning never s'rikis twice In \u201che same place, another earthqu:ke may not disturb them.One of these is quoted as saying that there is no record of a great city having been twice destroyel by convulsion or eruption; the earth will not heave again there, or, if it dong, up among them to advance the cause'it will be at a time fo distant that the totalled the

\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 magnificent boulevards, finer parks, more beautiful terraces, grander edifices of all kinds.Herein it differs fiom Montreal, which, when its heart was burned out by what is called the Board of Trade fire, scouted every suggestion to take advantage of the occasion to in?ro- duce magnificent improvements of plan.The people of San Francisco are alco perfecting a system of sewag: and conduits for electric wires and gas pipes.The docks and wharves will also be greatly enlarged and reconstructed, aud before long the city of the Golden (ate will arise more resplendent than ever to assert the inextingu:shable faith of man in his mastery of the elements.ROMBO AND JULIET Much interest has been taken in the announcement that four of the plays of Shakespeare, \u2018Romeo and Juliet, \u2018Laming of the Shrew\u201d \u2018Twelfth Night and \u201cLne Merchant of Venice,\u201d would be presented in Montreal this week by Ar.Frohman, and that such widely-known stars as Miss Julia Marlowe and Mr.E.H.Sothern would interpret the principal characters.Keen disappointment wag felt among ordinary theatregoers and those who only visit the theatre when the classic drama is presented, when it was learned that Miss Marlowe would be unable to appear; but, in spite of that, a great crowd filled His Ma- Jesty\u2019s L'heatre last evening when \u2018Romeo and Juliet\u2019 was given, and Mies Alice Harrington took the part of Juliet in Miss Marlowe's place.The management gave those who had booked then seats in advance an opportunity to get their money back if they wished it, but nobody took advantage of the offer, and keen appreciation on the part of the audi ence of Miss Harrington's work was a chief feature of the evening.As in \u2018Macbeth,\u2019 Shakespeare typified the murderer, in \u2018Hamlet\u2019 the thinker who weighs everything and is sure of scarcely anything, so in \u2018Romeo and Juliet\u2019 he typifies the lover.There is, of course, included in the plot the blood feud of the families of the lovers and the ills resulting therefrom, but love after all is the pulp and juice of the play, and all else is mere rind and pips.Since the play has to be cut, more especially where the scenery is elaborate as in the present production, it was therefore in accordance with the lasting impression of the play to cut the scenes between the lovers and those passages bearing upon their love as little as possible, while subordinating the quarrel passages between the two houses of Montague and Capulet.In the words of the play, indeed, one might heartily say, \u2018A plague o\u2019 both your houses.\u201d The scenery was almost up to the Irving standard of elaboration, and the interpretation throughout was generally excellent.Mr.Sothern\u2019s Romeo was refined and self-contained, Miss Harrington\u2019s Juliet was refreshingly youthful, if not great; Mrs.Woodward as the nurse was just a little too extravagant for the ideal nurse; the Friar Laurence of Mr.Harris was satisfactory, and the Mercutio of Mr.Frederick Lewis was excellent.There were many recalls and much applause followed many of the old familiar quotations, such as, \u2018The weakest goes to the wall\u2019 \u2018Saint-seduc- ing gold\u2019 \u2018Her beauty hangs upon the cheek of night like a rich jewel in an Ethiop\u2019s ear, \u2018He jests at scars who never felt a wound,\u201d \u2018What's in a name, that which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet,\u201d and so forth and so on.Seeing and hearing Shakespeare does indeed recall to one the origin of no end of phrases in everyday use.efter.DISTRICT MEETING QUEBEC EAST METHODISTS HELD SESSION AT THE ANCIENT CAPITAL.The annual meeting of pastors and lay repres:ntatives of

New York \u2018World,\u2019 written by ex-Senator Thomas F.Don- nelly, on the gas question.In that article, the first promoter of the chief gas bills before the New York Senate held that the highest cost of production for lighting gas 1s not more than twenty- five cents per thousand feet, but the consumers are made to pay stockholders a large interest on the money invested by them in gas companies.He added | that more robberies had been committed in high financial circles under the covert of gas operations than in any other line; | that no group of business men is sufficiently tree from the influences of gas: interests to furnish consumers with good | gas at a reasonable rate of interest on the capital invested alone, and that gas: is the most mysterious of all products | handled by rich corporativas.i Commenting on the above, the \u2018Presse | said in its turn: \u2018This appreciation of the situation by ex-Senator Donnelly con- | tains nothing very new.Those facis| are well known, even the maximum cost of twenty-five cents.Thus our civic of- | ficlals estimated in their report\u2014which | Mr.Bemis in no way demolished\u2014-that gas could be produced in Montreal at a cest ot from uifteen to twenty-six cents per thousand feet, according to its quality and the price of coal.Mr.Bemis estimated the cost of crude gas at sixteen and one-fifth cents per thousand fect; that price went up to thirty-five cents for purified gas and to thirty-six and a half cents for lighting gas containing one-third of water gas.To those ices must be added the cost of diatri- ution and the interest on \u2018he capital invested, the whole forming as many elements of contestation and discussion out of which it is easy for companies to make capital.In default of municipahza- tion, the adoption of the system now in force in Toronto would cause all those motives for bleeding the people to almost completely disappear.The cocsum- er being Interested in the profits of the industry, according to the project of ex- Alderman Vallieres, he becomes an actual shareholder in the company.On the whole, it is the co-operative system, which has produced such fine results in other branches of industry and furnishes similar proof in the gas industry of Toronto.In the reasons already given by the \u2018Presse\u2019 for ils opposition to a fixed rate binding the consumers for a long period.we will add another one.Of all lights electric light is the most Ly- gienic, as it does not make the air of rooms foul.The cest of its production will constantly grow less until the time comes when every home, even the poorest, can be lighted by electricity.rom that day gas being used as fuel only can be sold at a much lower price than lighting gas.If we have with the company a strict and tight contract, we will continue to pay that heating gas at the same rate as lighting gos.That revolution in the mode of Hghting ts quite near, whether it be produced by electricity or by the use of radioacting products, a use of which the Auer mantles were the first manifestation.WOMEN'S FOREIUGN MISSIONARY SOCIETY THE REV.DR.GRIFFITH DECLARES CHRISTIANITY THE ONLY REMEDY FOR THE \u2018YELLOW PERIL\u2019 Winnipeg, Man., May 16.\u2014Speaking at the Women\u2019s Foreign Missionary Society Convention, of the Presbyterian Church, to-night, the Rev.Dr.Griffith, Honan, China, declared that be was convinced from observation that the \u2018Yellow peril\u2019 is & stern reality, and tae only way for the western nations to avoid the menace is through extending Christianity in the Celestial Kingdom.Reports of the finances of the Women's Foreign Missionary Society, submitted, showed that $62,461 had been raised during the year, an increase of $5,157.FOREIGN MISSIONS PRESBYTERIAN BOARD CONCLUDES SITTINGS AT TU- RONTO.Toronto, May 17.\u2014The Foreign Mission Board of the Presbyterian Church concluded its sittings last night.The budget for the current year shows a slight reduction in the amount required from the church, though an extended work has been planned.Une decrease is due to the fact that contributions for 1905 were called upon to clear off a deficit of nearly $20,000, which was so ably done before the year expired.The total amount required for foreign missions for the year's operations is $170,000, in round figures.Reports were submitted from all fields, and m.- cated enlarging opportunities for work.After consideration of the different claims the committee appointed three lady missionaries to go abroad, Miss Clearihue to India.and Miss Thompson and Miss MeGill to Honan, China.The names of six or seven gentlemen were before the committee, the majority of whom in all probability will he sent out if the condition that their support is assured is undertaken by special congregations or individuals.The Miss Clearihue mentioned ahove is a relative of Alderman Clearihue, of Montreal.\u2014\u2014 THE LINOTYPE DISPUTE.Argument

Mud.Ed \u2014_\u2014 : COMMITTEE RECEIVES PROTEST AGAINST OHIO SANDSTONE.An interesting aidelight on the extraordinary methods of the Roads Com- fnittee was provided this morning, when.Ît was announced that the widows whose carts bave been hired by the city in past years, but who were dismissed a ew weeks ago on the express order of the Roads Committee, have all been employed again by the city surveyor.* These widows were dismissed at the very time when there was a great out cry about the disgraceful state of the dirty streets, and when the city surveyor had explained that his great handicap was a lack of the necessary number of carts to haul the mud away after it had been gathered up in heaps in the streets.The Roads Committee, when chal- Jrnged to do so, was at a loss to re- roncile its extraordinary action with the statement of the city surveyor that he bad urgent need of all the carts he could get.Now, however, they have been obliged to take back their previous unreasonable decision, and have been shown that it was both unwise and unreasonable, taking into consideration particularly the special circumstances attending the time when it was made.All the widows have now their carts in use by the city, and as many more as have carts will be employed so long as the existing requirements last.In another direction also the Road Committee is being made to eat \u2018humble pie.\u2019 Some little time since it decided that no more New York bluestone should be ordered for sidewalk paving purposes but that Ohio sandstone should be used for that purpose instead, Bluestone has been in use in Montreal for over a quarter of a century, and has given the best satisfaction of any stone that has been used here for that purpose hitherto.On the contrary, Ohio sandstone, which, has been used for sidewalk \u2018paving in Toronto, has proved an utter failyge on account of its softness, rendering it quite unfit for long service as sidewalks.This fact is well known to Mr.Barlow, who informed the committees of it, and who strongly urged that the blue- stone should be used, as hitherto.The committee, however, went dead against the special advice of its chief executive officer, and ordered the use of the sandstone.Sidewalk paving was done accordingly on the sidewalk outside the Church of the Sacred Heart, at the corner of Mai- gonneuve and Ontario streets, recently.The result is that the following letter tas becn received from the Rev.Father \u2018Adam on behalf of the churchwardens of that church: \u2014 .\u2018I regret that the flagstones (Ohio sand- atone) should be so friable.This stone very soft, and we are afraid that the work will prove very expensive, and will pot last very long.There are about a thousand children passing on this sidewalk four times a day.I believe that the churchwardens have protested against this style of flagstone, and certainly the New York bluestone would have been very much preferable.\u2019 \u2014\u2014fe_\u2014

Mr.Preston\u2014Yes; it is Leopold Laz arus.I found that out a short time ago.It is a common thing for men to make such changes in their names.Mr.Preston said he arranged with Leopold to send good English agricul turists to Canada.The bonus paid was not different from what should be given any booking agent.; fr.Leopold went in the business In 1003, and Mr.Preston recommended hinr to several shipping companies.01 Mr.Leopold took an office in Uharing Cross and his place became known as the Labor Bureau.There was no connection, however, between Mr.Preston's office and Leopold's.The witness added that he himself had no interest in this labor bureau that Leopold conducted.Mr.Barker\u2014Were you ignorant that complaints were made here about your connection with Leopold\u2019s office, and that Leopold was called a strike-break- er.Mr.Preston\u2014No; I did not know the specification complaint.Mr.Barker\u2014Did not you know Leopold was sending artizans to Canada?Mr.Preston\u2014But

and asked hands of the Scotland Yard detectives for investigation.Lordi Strathcona demurred, however, because of the scandal that such a step would create.The witness went on to say that he thought he

SHIP CANAL .COMPANY UNDER CONSIDERATION, Ottawa, May 17.\u2014The bill of the Montreal, Ottawa & Georgian Bay Ship Canal Company, applying for increased capital, increased banding powers and an extep- sion of the company\u2019s charter rights for another two years, was considered before the House of Commons Railway Committee and held over until May 29 Mr.Ritchie, K.C., who appeared for the company, asserted that ten million dollars capital was Insufficient for an enterprise of such magnitude, and justified the increase to fifty millions, which the bill proposes.The company asked also power to issue bonds to an amount of one hundred millions, on which he thought they might realize about eighty millions.Already the promoters of the enterprise had expended a considerable sum upon surveys and the distribution of literature.The Minister of Public Works was asked for a statement of the government policy in regard to this work and in reply declared that his department bad not yet received the report of the survey that was undertaken a couple of seasons 8go to ascertain the feasibility and the cost of the undertaking.The survey itself was a large work and the government was not yet ready to announce its policy upon the subject.The Montreal, Ottawa & Georgian Bay Canal Company had been chartered in 1894.There was a clause in its charter under which the company is bound to submit all plans and specifications for government ap proval.The government survey was designed to ascertain the cost of a twenty- The actual survey work had been practically finished.Mr.Hyman intimated that the government might have amendments to propose at a later atage of the bill, but he saw no reason why the company should.not obtain a renewal of its charter.Mr.Hyman saw no reason, however, for increasing the capital or bonding powers of the company at this stage.The Hon.John Haggart maintained that the government's interest would not be prejudiced by the increase of the capital stock that the present bill sought.It was absolutely impossible to get money.enough to undertake the enterprise.in the present capitalization and onding powers.The project was of national importance, not only to Canada, but to the whole of Amer:ca.Messrs.J.G.H.Bergeron, of Montreal, and Wright, of Renfrew, and U.A.McCool, of Nipissing, all held that the public interests would be best served by the government building the canal.Mr.Bergeron insisted that po private company would ever undertake 1t through.He opposed the bill in toto.Both Mr.McCool and Mr.Wright recognized the service the company had already performed in keeping the enterprise before the country.The Minister of Justice saw absolutely no reason why this company should not be given the means to carry its project through.In the event of the government itself undertaking the work, 1U would not make any difference to the country whether the company\u2019s capital was ten millions or fifty millions, the company would be indemnified for any work it had actually done.That was all, The prospective profits of the com- ny would not enter Into the caleuk ation.The Minister of Railways held tha® three things were clear.The canal should be built.the government should operate it, and he did not believe any company would build it.He suggested an amendment providing that in the event of the government deciding to build a canal between any of the points mentioned in this company\u2019s charter, the company could not make any extra claim because of the extension granted.The bill was accordingly postponed until May 29.oY yemtion of the Bell Telephone bill resumed a few minutes before on oclock.but nothing had been done when the committee adjourned for lunch.Ottawa, May 17\u2014Mr.George T.Merwin, Montreal, from whom large purchase

namely, to leave the train at its first stop, and return as soon as possible to the point 1 divergence, It seemed fair to assume \u201cat Mrs, Scarsdale and Mrs.Allingford Ad done the same thing.and, such being the cise, it was easy to guess what their \u201csurse of action had been.A glance at ine \u2018ime-table told him that the first ;omt at which they could leave their division of the train had been Southampton.from which place they couid, aimost immediately, catch an express \u201cacs to the junction they had left, ar- Hving there shortly after seven on the Fast evening, His awn course and that of Mrs.Eo eakiast rejoin their friends, who ha en spen the night au that place.pe \u201c s 1t was that they had lost the returning express and remained In Southampton; -but -if they acted mm a rational manner.they.must eventually return to the junction.But supposing Mes.Allingford pad Mi Scarsdale had not done the obvious thing; supposing that change .bad intervened and their plans as in his own case?He suddenly found himself face to face with the startling fact that not only were he and Mrs.Scarsdale not at Salis- or Basingstoke, but that they were at present at the one place where his wife and Mrs.Scarsdale\u2019s husband would never think of looking for them\u2014Mel- ton Court.Allingford jammed his hat on the back of his head, and set off at a brisk pace to Salisbury and the nearest telegraph ktation; arriving at his destination shortly before seven, to find that he had a good half-hour to wait before the operators arrived.The office was opened at last, however, and he lost no time in telegraphing to Basingstoke for ntor- mation, and in a little while received an answer from the station-master at that point which cheered him up considerably, though it was not quite as explicit as he could have wished.It read as follows: \u2018Scarsdale telegraphed last evening from &outhampton, saying he \u2018had left train there with Mrs.Alingford and was returning at once to Basingstoke.\u2019 The Consul was pleased to find that his conjectures had been correct.He felt that a great weight had been Lifted from his mind.Their missing partners had undoubtedly spent the night at Basingstoke and would soon consult the station-master at that point, who would doubtless show them the messages he had received.Allingford looked out à good train.telegraphed the hour of thelr arrival, and then, as his reception otf the night before had not inclined bim to trespass on Lady Melton\u2019s grudging hospitality more than was absolutely necessary, he had a leisurely breakfast at the hotel, and, engaging a tly, drove back to the Court.reaching there about half-past nine.Mrs.Scarsdale had also passed a disturbed night, but, unlike her companion in misfortune, she did not venture out at unearthly hours in the morning.She | was up, however, and saw him depart, which was in some ways a comfort, | since it assured her that he was losing | mo time in continuing their quest.At eight a maid arrived with warm ! water and a message from her ladyship | that she wished Mrs.Scarsdale to breakfast with her in private at nine o'clock, and that she would be obliged if her eat-niece would keep her room til that time.The bride was considerably piqued by this message and the distrust it implied, but felt it would be wise to accede to the request, and sent word accordingly.As she entered Lady Melton\u2019s boudoir an hour later.her hostess rose to receive her, kissing her coldly on the fore head, and eaying: \u2018You will penton my requesting yow to keep your room; but your presence is not as yet known to my guests, and vour appearance among them immed:ate- ly after your marriage, without your husband, might cause unpleasant speculation and comment.Do you agree with me?\u2018Quite,\u2019 replied Mrs.Scarsdale.She had misjudged Lady Melton, she thought; but she disliked her nevertheless, and wished to be very guarded.Now,\u2019 said that personage, °\u2018l want to hear the whole affair.No, 1 do not want you to tell it\u2019 as her guest opened her mouth to speak; \u2018not in your own way, I mean.You would probably wander from the port and my time is of importance.will ask vou questions, and you will be kind enough to answer them, as plainly and shortly as possible.\u2019 Lo Mrs.Scarsdale bowed; she was so angry at the cool insolence that this statement implied that she did not feel she could trust herself to speak.\u2018Now we will begin,\u2019 said her ladyship as she proceeded to demolish a boiled egg.\u2018What is your Christian name?\u2019 \u2018Mabel.\u2019 - \u2018Very well.Then I shall call you Mabel in future; it is ridiculous to address you as Mrs.Scursdale.\u2019 \u2018I really don\u2019t see\u2014 began that lady.\u2018Excuse me,\u201d interrupted her question- eer, \u2018I will make the comments when necessary.When were you married?\u2018Yesterday afternoon at two-thirty o'clock.\u2019 I \u2018Where did you and your husband in- \"tend to pass lust nigit?\u2018At Exeter.\u2019 \u2018Are you sure?\u2018I ought to be.I bought the tickets.\u2018You bought the tickets! Is that customary in your country?\u2018I am not here to discuss the customs ;of my country, Lady Melton.I bought \u201cthe tickets because 1 chose to do so, and | considered myself better fitted to arrange i the trip than my husband.\u2019 i \u2018Really! I suppose that is the reason you selected the most roundabout way to reach Exeter.Your husband could | have told you that you should have taken another railway, the Great Western.\u2019 \u2018My husband,\u2019 said Mrs.Scarsdale Stiffly.\u2018did not know our destination.\u2019 \u2018What!\u2019 \u2018I say that my husband did not know our destination.\u2019 Her ladyship surveyed her for a moment in shocked and silent disapproval, and then remarked: .\u2018I think I understood you to say tha you.travelled together as far as Basing- stoke?\u2018Yes, and there S: Hubart met a friend.\u2019 \u2018This consular person \u2019 \u2018Mr.Allingford?Yes.He was also married yesterday, and came to our carriage to congratulate me.\u2019 \u2018And my nephew went to speak to Mrs.Allmgtord.\u201d \u2018Exactly.And the first thing we knew the train was moving.\u2019 \u2018Go on.\u201d ; \u2018That is just what we did, though Mr.Alingford tried to leave the carriage and return to his wife.\u2019 \u2018It would have been better had he never left her.\u2019 ; .\u2018But I restrained him.\u2019 \u2018How did you restrain him! \u2018By bis coattails.\u2019 ra 5 arme ram a de a PS anything be more fair?- Good Blood iiss sre good?Bad blood fo good blood ; poor blood to rich blood!

Mary sweeps the kitchen foor, and picks up Tommy's bat.God\u2019s wondrous gift of beauty missed her homely little face, But her loving little mother-heart at filled with double grace.\u2014\u2018Junior C.E.World.\u2019 ?BOYS WHO HAVE SUCCEEDED.There was once a little shepherd boy who was so fond of drawing that he used to make pictures on rocks and stumps, and pieces of wood, using charcoal for a brush.One day a great painter came along and watched the boy at his work, and went away saying, \u2018That boy will make a greater painter than 1 am.\u2019 And he did, for he was Giotto, who revived Italian art.1n the year 1825 a Scotch boy of ten years went to work as a \u2018piecer\u2019 in a Glasgow factory.He had to work from six in the morning til] eight at night.With his first week\u2019s wages he purchased a copy of Ruddican\u2019s \u2018Rudiments of Latin\u2019 At the age of sixteen he knew Horace and Virgil, and was pursuing a systematc course of reading.\u2018Then he studied medicine, and at the age of twenty he made up bis mind to be a missionary and go to Africa.He was able to carry out hig plans, and became the famous Dr.IAvingstone.A little Tyrolese boy who ioved to paint made his first attempts at coloring with juices pressed from flowers.With these colors Te painted all sorts of pictures on the white side of his father\u2019s cottage.He lived to be the famous painter, Titian the founder of the Venetian School of Art.There was once a boy who was always asking questions and trying to find out about things.He was \u2018a great hand at reading books,\u2018 but he loved best to be making experiments.When hé was twelve years old he bought a lot of chemi- Dr.Ohase's Ointment is a certain end guaranteed curs for ensh end every form of itching, bleeding and protruding piles.Beo testimcmials In the press aad ask your nelghbours about ft.You cap use {t and get your money if not setisfied., at all dealers or PoxaxsoX, Bares & Co., Toronto.DR.CHASE'S OINTMENT TO LET \u2014 FURNISHED HOUSE FOR summer, new.detached, in small garden, 10 rooms, near main car lines.Appl afterroons, 456 Mountain avenue, West.mount.Tel, West 1581 To Let.OFFICE TO LET, FIRST FLOOR, Light, airy and attractive, in \u2018Witness\u2019 Block.Apply to MR.MoGLAUGHLIN, \u2018Witness\u2019 Office.WOOD AVE, near St.Catherine St Self-Contained Tenements, 7 rooms, every convenlence;

I cannot study so well after it.\u201d Me never read another novel, but devoted himself to philosophical and scientific work.This bov was afterwards the famous philosopher, Johann Gotlieb Fichte.; These examples, to which could be added many more, furnish an interesting lesson to every boy, however poor.Boys who bave an object in life, boys who take advantage of their opportunities, and who apply themselves with diligence to their business\u2014these are the boys who make successful men, as we ray.And if they use their gifts in the service of God and man, they are successful indeed.\u2014\u2018Child's Companion.\u2019 DIVINE BREATHINGS.THURSDAY, MAY 17.LIGHT OVERCOMES DEATH.Darkness is favorable to disease and death.Light is connected with health and recovery from disease.It is said of the Greeks that their world began with night and ended in darkness.Christ entered into the darkness wrought by man\u2019s sin and brought in life and immortality.The light of the sun is essential to health and life.Christ is the sun whose beams of light heal poor, dead, sinful humanity.When God cre- afed the world it was in darkness, waste and void.His first command was: \u2018Let there be light,\u2019 and light was (Gen.i.).After man\u2019s sinning, a moral and spiritual darkness covered the earth, and great darkness the people.(Isa.Ix., 2.) Satan is the power of darkness and of death.(Eph.vi, 12.) He is the spirit which works in the disobedient.Christ is the light of the world, and His indwelling m a soul dispels the darkness and conquers death, and its power.Life and unending existence is the right of every one who believes the gospel.Where Christ is, there is light and an undying nature.God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, bas shined into our hearts to give the light of His glory as it shinos through Jesus.The beaming rays of the light of God\u2019s glory make radiant the face of Christ, and the souls into which that light enters.There is no death to the believer, why then should he fear it?\u2014 Christ is the only everlasting symbol of hopefulpess.\u2014Rev.Trevor H.Davies.WANTED, AT ONCE, AN ASSISTANT Book-keeper; one with experience im the grocery business.M.15, CHAPMAN'S BOOKSTORE, 2407 St.Catherine street, Montreal, WANTED, YOUNG LADY NOT OVER 2 years; must have perfect figure, bust 37, skirt length 42; permanent position.Apply J.H.WALDMAN & CO, 513 St.Paul street.WANTED, IMMEDIATELY, A COMPEtent \u2018General Servant; must be good cook, laundry work given out; wages, $15 per month, Apply, with references, 492 Elm avenue, Westmount.OFFICE BOY WANTED, ABOUT 134 or If years of age.Address at once M.TX.\u201cWitness\u2019 Office.WANTED, A JOBBING GARDENER, tw: days in the week.Apply T7 DuiocLer street, after 7 p.m.WANTED, SMART, EXPERIENCED £a.e.women, for the hosiery department.THE JOHN MURPHY CO., LTD.WANTED, STRONG BOY, FOR ASSIStant in stable.Apply at \u2018Witness\u2019 Ol- fice, corner Cralg and St.Peter streets.Employment Wanted.POOKKEEPER OR GENBRAL OFFICE Clark seeks adtuation; excellent refer- erces.Address R.W., £2, \u2018Witness\u2019 Office.A YOUTH OF 17 DESIRES A SITUATION with some good firm where he can learn the trade or business, and get promeo- tion.Referenree given.Addrees M.17, \u2018Witness\u2019 Office.EEE Furnished Kkooms to Let TO LET, AT 9%!

STATIONS.At a meeting of the Fire and Light Committee yesterday afternoon Chief Benoit asked that the chairman and one other member of the committee be appointed to act with him in looking after the discipline of the brigade.He explained that under the present circumstances he found it very difficut to decide many cases that came before him.He said that he had a report from one captain against three of his wen, and the men were prepared to swear nut the report was false.If he did not ay any attention to the captain's repcrt and punish the men, that officer nuzht feel that he was not acting fair fowarde him, while if he punished the men.and they were Lot gaily, they might bring a suit against the City.Ald.Laviolette expressed the opinion that the request of the Chief would cou flict with the motion of Ald.Mercicr.passed three weeks ago, giving full control to the Chief in all such matters.He was much surprised to se: tha% à change was required.It was finally agreed that Ald.Yates and any member that he might choose should act as a sub-committee for all such cases.The matter of Poirier and Robitaille, the two firemen who had not received any pay since the beginning of the year was then taken up.It was explained that, in some way their names had been left off the list of permanent employees handed over to the city clerk by the secretary of Ste.Cunegonde.Sub-chief Tremblay submitted his report to the committee, but instead of mentioning the names of Poirier and Robitaille, the report mentioned the namesof Poirier and Deumonttais.In reply to the chairman, Sub-chief Tremblay explained that Poirier and Robitaille had been engaged as firemen by himself and the chairman of the Fire Committee of Ste.Cunegonde in the month of December last, and received pay from Ste.Cunegonde vp to the first of the present year, when Ste.Cunegonde became a part vi the cilv.Robitaille was dismissed in Maven, aad Deumonttais was taken on in his place.When the first report was made the change had been ôverlooked.Chief noit stated that sin® \u2018h: first of the present month he had jui the names of Poirier and Deumunttais on the city pay list, and since then they bad received their salary.e city comptroller stated that if the members of the committee were satisfied that the men had been employed from January 1 until May 1 he would pay them.It was decided to authorize the city comptroller to pay Poirier, Robitaille and Deumonttais the amount of wages due to them.À letter was read from the Dominion Bridge Company stating that they could not supply beams for the new No.5 fire station on Berthelet street at the price quoted by them last fall as the price of steel was much higher now.It was decided to ask for new tenders for the supply of steel, terra cotta brick and plastering for the new station.Ald.Yates said that the question in rd to Sub-chief Briere, Captain Blain and Foreman Lapointe, who were not receiving the salaries for the positions they occupy should be referred to the city attorneys as he would not take action in the matter until he had received a report from them.A letter was read from the and Labor Couneil protesting members of the fire brigade plambing and painting work.id on the table.Trades against doing It was Does Your FOOD Digest Well ?When the food is imperfectly digested she full benefit is not derived frem it by ths body and the purpose of eating is defeated ; no matter how good the food or how carofull adapted to the wants of the body it may be.us the dyspeptic often becomes thin, weak and debilitated,

should increase the subsidy to the Provinoe of Quebec.The increase in population and the greater needs of the province made such an increase imperative.This request will be forwarded to the government at once, together with the report prepared by the chambre in 1901, In the absence of President C.H.Catelli, who has left for Italy, the meeting authorized Mr.L.J.A.Surveyer, the acting first

SUES TOWN FOR VALUE OF HIS HOUSE.Messrs.Pelletier & Letourneau have entered an action in the Superior Court in the name of Mathias Presseau, of La- chine, who claims $1,368.75 damages from the corporation of that town as ths rice of his house, which was destroyed y fire.Last February a fire completely destroyed \u201cMr.Presseau's home.He recovered $1,000 insurance, and the sum for which he now sues represents the differnce between that amount and his actual loss.the ground ot action being that the total destruction of his premises was due to the fault and negligence of the municipality, and the want of proper appliances for protection against fire.Mr.Presseau alleges that when the alarm was given, the firemen first went in the wrong direction; then, when they did reach the fire.one of the hydrants was frozen.another would not work, and the hose burst under the pressure of the water from the third hydrant.Meanwhile the house was being destroyed.Artifacts WANTED IN NEW YORK

1906 OF INTEREST TO WOMEN [17 coh moi in patent vire bud « BY-GONE IDEALS WHAT WAS EXPECTED OF GIRLS OF LONG AGO.In the closing chapter of \u2018ldeals for Girls\u2019 (Frederick A.Stokes Company, New York), Mrs.Frank Learned has collected some interesting pictures of girlhood in days gone by.\u2018It is related of the girthood of Queen.Tlizabeth,\u201d she says, \u2018that when her brother, Prince Edward, went out to exercise in the open air, she took up her lute or viol, or solaced herself with nee-, dlework.(rls were not expected tor tuke exercise in the sixteenth century.Royal girls, as well ag others, were occupied in acquiring mere aocomplish- ments.The young Princess Elizabeth was a classical student and fond of literature, but her tastes were regarded as unusual for a irl, and it is certain that she was vain her superior attainments.Ma ueen of Scots rebelled at having toc litt e exercise, and played golf in the {fields of Seton, and her tastes were considered unseemly and undignified.\u2018Oharming Dorothy Osborne, in her let ters to Sir Willam Temple, gives a sketch of her life st Chicksands, her father\u2019s country house, which serves to show the dulness and lack of tion a girl was subjected to in the seventeenth century.\u2018You ask me,\u2019 she writes, \"how 1 pass my time here.I can give you a perfect account, not only what |! do for the present, but of what I am likely to do this seven years.1 rise in the morning reasonably early, and I go around the house till I am weary of that and then into the garden tall it grows too hot for me.About tent o'clock 1 think of making myself ready, and when that is done 1 go into my father\u2019s chamber, from whence to dinner.- After dinner we sit snd talk.The heat of the day is spent in reading or working, and about six or seven o'clock I walk out into & common that is hard by our house.When I have supped I go into the garden, and s0 to the side of a smail river that runs by it, where I sit down.\u201d \u201cThat keen observer, Lady Mary Worl- ley Montagu, in her letters to her daygh- ter, Lady Bute, makes a plea for the better education of her granddaughter.\u201cLearning, if she has a taste for it,\u201d rays lady Mary, \u201cwill not only make her conten but hapry.No entertain ment is so cheap us reuding, nor any pleasure so lasting.To render this amusement extensive she should be permitted to learn the languages: 1 have heard it lamented that boys lose so many years in mere leatniux of words.This is no objection to a girl, whose time is not sa precious.She cannot advance hersel?in any profession, and has there fore many hours to spare.\u201d Lady Mary advises further, that her granddaughter should be cautioned to conceal whatever learning ske attairis, and she hastemed to write another letter, somewhat moderating the first, t her son-incMuw should be \u2018\u2018shocked at the proposal Ke a learned education for his daughter\u201d, \u2018The life of girls in the early park of the nineteenth century is portrayeÿ in Jane Austen's novels.Dressing, dine ing and flirting occupied the minds of most young wofen of that period.Matrimony was the aim.Jane Austen's work as an suthor was not taken seriously by her family or friends, nor did they respect her employment.Her hooks were written in the family sitting-room under constant interruptions, and she had a piece of embroidery ready to throw over her manuscript when visitors entered.No one dreamed that she was a enius whose books would be classics.fer first novel was wwitten when she was twenty years old.\u2018Fanny Burney was considered a pros digy when it became known that she written \u2018Evelina.\u2019 Proud as she was of her success, she dreaded that she might be thought learned.; \u2018It is interesting to know that Miss Wordaworth, whose work bas done so much to advance university life for women at Oxford, did not always approve of such a career for them.Her own words express very amusingly the feel ings she had on the subject, \u201cI must own that, like Mrs.Malaprop, I began with a little aversion.In my younger deys if 1 had been told at a party that a \u2018young lady belonged to a college 1 should have preferred occupying the stiffest of chairs in a thorough draught to sitting by her side on the most comfortable of mofas\u2019\u201d\u201d She lightly sketches her ideal present-day woman as follows: \u201cMy ideal woman is always ful and beautiful, better with her handa than with her head, but best of all with her heart.She has many edmirers, but is constant to one, whom she marries at twenty+ive.She can cooï, sew, dance and sing; she is, very likely, secomplish- ed and well informed.She is not a Lure, because #he has never overworked her brain, and is really interested in all she knows.My pattern woman is not at all coptroversial.She cannot argue, but she lives.\u201d \u2019 MORE SIMPLICITY IN HATS.As the season advances, it in pleasant | to ohserve increased simplicity in hate\u2014 | that is to éay, one may have simple hats, if one chooses.To be sure almost as many extreme models as ever are shown, but, side by side with them, are many charming hats, that are quite simple withal.The sailor shape continues its popularity.Most of the sailors ere small, short-brimmed, and arranged on handeaus, high or low.The color com- hinations are

hats this season are prettier than the Leghorn ones, and nothing 18 prettier with l.eghorn than pink roses, especially if a touch of black velvet is added.A Leghorn hat which was much admired had the crown wreathed with crushed pink poses without [shuge.The hat was tilted from the back, and the bandeau wss covered with many loops and ends of velvet ribbon.On the side of the crown against the roses was a long, uncurled black ostrich eather.These uncurled ostrich feathers have the long fronds in thick, willow-like fringes, giving the plume a very different appearance from the ordinary eurled feather.Great attention is paid to the tulle bandeaus, which build out and supple ment the hair arrangement.When selecting a hat, ane should not fail to take account of the silhouete, looking at it irom every point of view.If any part of it is unsatisfactory & brown, black, or colored tulle ruche often supplies exactly the missing effect.The ruche should, if possible, match the hair of the

in this little town on the bank ot the Hudson river, twelve miles south of Albany.\u2018The strike of the brickmak- ers in force all along the Hudson broke into a rlot here early this morning, and after fighting between the five hundred undon strikers and nearly as many ne gro non-union men, In which one man was severely wounded, Sheriff Pitts was called from Albany.He decided that hé and his deparies could not suppress the riot and four Albany companies of militia, about two hundred and fitty strong, constituting the second battalion of the Tenth Regiment, were ordered to Coeymans, arrivihg here early this evening.The negroes are brought here every spring for the extra work called for at that time and they refuse as a rule to join the union for their short stay.The employers
