of the trade concessions the Laurier Govcrnment was about to secure from the United States, are now spending thetr time tuggesting means by which Canada may reta! ate on the Republic for its want of appreciation of Liberal statecraft. It is tru-ted, however, that there will be noth ng done, cither in regard to changing customs

duties or restricting trade for the purpose of spiting our unneighborly neighbors. There is just one good rule to follow in relaticn to fiscal affairs, and that is to do what is deemed best in the interest of

tse country, without regard to whether it

it is pleasing or otherwise to other nations

There would be no sense in Canada exact~ ing a special duty on goods of foreign projuction bought in the United States, as s0n.e suggested. Though it would be pay- ing the Uuited States in its own coin, it would be, ip many instances at the expense of Ca: adians, and would cost this country asmuch as would our neighbors. It would not be business, and governmental or parliamentary action that affects busi- ness stiould be based on business principles. There should be nothing done to affect Canadian trade that is not justified by con- siderations of the home situatior.

ECR THE TRAINING OF SERVANTS.

The Lady thus deseribes the working of a training institution for servants in the north of England, which is under the pa- troneg+ of the Bishop of Durham and the M-resioness of Londonderry : “The plan ¥ fu girls from fouriéen to eighteen, gathered from villages or mining neighbor- hoods, or from the great towns, who are weil disposed, but ignorant, to be singled out and sent to the training institution for six months or a year’s training. Either the parents or a friend pave 5s. a week for treir food (in many cases ladies pay £13.a year ),andagirl is thus always under training—and goes to her situation, and another takes the vacancy in the in-t tion. The difference between this cnd oth -r tomes lies in the fact that in most sustitutions laundry work is the chief employment, but at Stockton-on- Tees jadies and gentlemen beard in the house, and have their own suite of rooms, with their meals served at any time they wisb, and they are waited on by the little maids A good cook is essential for the cake of the Loarders, end thus the girls learn kitchen work and cookiag. For the same reason a good Jaundress is necessary, avd the girls who wish to be laundry maids reap the benefit. Over all a lady matron presides. as an ordinary mistress in a large household. It must not, of course, be supposed for one moment that the giris go out as finished servants; they are +iJi beginners, but they are enlisted in the army of servants, anc without this start in life they would have remained in the ranks of ‘drudges, who develop into useless, slatternly wives and mothers, or worse. a ee

Lord Kelvin, who is now at Toronto, attending the meeting of the British Asso- ciation, 1s regarded as the greatest scientist in the world.

What self-renunciation and heroic purpose was this! They drowned witches to be sure, but that was no part of their puritanism. It is to the puritan women we owe so much for that spirit in our people which gives them the fortitude to endure hardship and stake

life and fortune for their convictions.

The American womien of to-day have the spirit of their puritan mothers, but their constitutions 4re not rugged or able to en- dure half the hardships of these New Eng-

land ancestors.

Very often they are run-

down with weaknesses and irregularities peculiar to their sex, and 4he constant drain upon their vitality makes them chronic in-

Many women hesitate to go to

their family physician. because they dread the local examinations so generaily insisted

upon by practitioners.

Such women should write Dr. R.

CHINESE WILD HORSES.

Curious Little Animals Found In the Western Part of the Empire,

The horse has become so thoroughly domesticated in all parts of the world that really wild representatives of the species are extremely rare. ‘There still exist in parts of Hungary partially wild horses, Mut these when captured young may be broken in and put to harness withas mueh readiness as horses reared on a farmstead. It is, however, far different with the wild horses of the Tartars, which aro untam- able and will not live in captivity.

During his journey through western China G. EB. Grum Grizmailo met with a

wild horse in the Dzungarian desert, and after much trouble succeeded in securing two specimens, though neither of them were taken alive. The herds are extremely cautious, and it was only by the utmost patience and cunning that the explorers were able to conceal themselves near enough a small salt lake where the horses came to drink to shoot a couple of them. The wild horse has something in common with the Altai, Caucasian and Finnish ponies. Itisof short stature— 1.46 meters high~—hasa_ broad chest and back. a short, massive neck and fine legs, as elegant as those of a race horse, ending with broad hoofs.

‘he bead is rather heavy in comparison to the body, but the wide forehead is hand- some, the line from the forehead to the nose straight and the upper lip covers the lower one. The upper part of the tail has the color of the body, but is black at the point, and, like that of the wild ass, is not entirely covered with hair. ‘The mane be- gins in front of the ears, the longest hairs being in its middle part. It is black in color and hangs over to the left. In the scantiness of hair about the body the wild horse rather resembles the Tekke Turco- inan horse, but the killed specimens had an strange Iockiv-e petr of whiskers, ahout fur cCatimetcrs long.—littsburg Dis- I

The Age of Music.

“This appears to be an age of music,”’ s2id Mr. Bugleton. ‘‘Here in the ferry- house you find a phonograph, into whose ever open mouth somebody drops a nickel, As it begins to play people waiting gather around to listen, and the inan who has Started it displays his peculiarities by Standing at one side and listening with the rest or by planting himself square ir front of the hern and getting all be can out of it himself and letting the rest listen with him.

‘Then there is the musical weighing machine, which plays a tune for you as you stand upon the platform, and finally tosses out to you a little card, upon which you find your fortune told and likewise your weight.

“Or you may ‘hear the band play’ by cropping a penny in the slot, the band be- ing a music box with a cylinder as big as & rolling pin.

‘‘It is indeed un age of music—fora considecration—but was there ever a time when you didn’t have to pay the piper?’’ —New York Sun,
