It is curious to read tliat before the commencement of the reign of William IIT, in 1698, the national indebtedness of the mother country was 09 per cent. of the present huge total, i.e., £664,263, ae compared with an aggregate now of over £671,000,000. The deter- mination of the country to abolish slavery wherever it was possible cost its people more than 4£20,000,000, which waa the real commencement of the national debt. After that, war was chiefly responsible for the accumulation of a load of debt that had reached the enormous total of £850,- 132,783 the Queen ascended the throne in 1837 Seeing that the debt now is £671 ,042,842, it if@ obvious that in the beneficent reign of Victoria it has been reduced by no less an amount than £179,- 033,941, or over 21 per cent. of the total indebtedness half a century ago. The national debt is still far too large ‘to cause those who hold console to entertain appre- hensions as to the redemption of the secur- ity so dearly loved by careful British invest- ors; but the steady reduetion that has been going on year by vear is encouraging, and reveals the efforta of successive Chancell- ors of the Exchequer to reduce the enorm- ous load of debt incurred by the terribly expensive wars that preceded the Victor- lan era when ~~ The National Union of Conservative associations, which will meet at Cardiff early in November, will elect the Earl of Dunraven, owner of the Valkyrie, to be ita president. This conference of the National | union is to the Conservatives what the great annual caucus of the National Liber- al federation is vo the Liberals, and the | highest office is an exceptional political | honor. The marquis of Bute, who has immense interests in the Cardiff district, was a possible candidate for the | office, but the Earl of Dunraven is pre- ferred, as he is not only a great Welsh land owner, but also a sound politician. He is, therefore, the unanimous choice of | hie party Although yachting is his | dominant passion he ie an earnest atudent of public affairs, He is an effective speak- er, and while Under Secretary of Colonies he displaved unexpected qualities as a dis- creet statesman.

Oo MIMIC WARFARE. | Military Operations that were Much Like a Real Battle, The sound of war was heard through- vat Halifax all day on Thursday. Five t'ousand men under arms manceuvred in ind about the eight forts at the entrance to the harbor and on the warships of the British fleet. The regular forces were } angmented by all the militia at the point. | The object of the operations was to te-t he ability of the land forces and fortifica- tions to resist a possible attack either by land or sea. On the occasion of the last manceuvres, York redonbt, the most effective fortification in Canada to-day, was found to be unable to cover a ship that might sail up the harbor under its guns: An immense sum has been spent to remedy the defect. Early in the morning the Blake and Tar- tir went to sea and the military were sta- tioned in all the forts. The first move- ment was the landing by a torpedo boat of a party of sailors at Herring Cove. They tole along the road two miles to York re- loubt and surprised the garrison there. An alarm was given and hostilities began. In the engagement a sailor had one arm lown off and the hand split to the wrist. In the hurry of firing, the field gun wa+ improperly sponged, and the new charge prematurely exploded. Follow- York redoubt by bombardment by Then the can- ing the attack on the land force, was a the Blake and Tartar. nonade general from all the forts and ships. Meantime, another landing party of 275 sailors was making its way.along the road towarda the head of the North West arm to reach the city. They were met by the 66th, and another enyagement took place. Another casua- ltv occurred here, a private of the 66th having his ear blown off by a comrade’s rifle. The progress of the invaders was ‘topped, and the interest was again centr- ed in the firing between the ships and the forts. The official announcement of the result of the tactics and manceuvre has not yet been made. The day’s engagement is understood to be more favorable to the de- fending forces than at former operations. York redoubt was more effective than the A prominent officer in the royal artillery told a correspondent that the ships were well within range of the guns at the redoubt at Menab’s Island, and that they could never have stood the fire from there forte, and thatat times the other forts would have been very destructive.

And woman’s kingdom —what is it? A pretty hard question to answer, traly; in these days when women’s kingdom threatens to extend into the men’s; and then—merey knows where it is going to stop. I despise the women’s rights question from the extremist's point of view; butI am of the opinion th.t women are capable of doing a great dew! more than most men think they are. The | world is progressing, and as old fashioned ideas about other matters have Jong ago given way to modern ones, why, I ask. may not the sphere of womens usefainess be enlarged, and if they are capable of do- ing work formerly performed only by the sterner sex—why, in the name of goodness should she not do it? It is not going to lower a woman any to work in the same room or office with men. She can mani- pulate a typewriter doubly as quick, and with more ceftness than the clumey fingers of a man Can, and her presence among men (if she be the right kind of a woman) must of necessity have a refining influence upon them. The old fashioned ideas, that a woman’s ephere of usefulness, mu-t, be in {the louse, as the mother and carer of little ones, and the patient uncomplain ing slave of a husband, is exploded. The old idea, that all a girl could be brought up to look forward to, was to make a good match, and then be “nil,” as far as the world was concerned, has long ago seen its best days. There are women doctors, women lawyers, and women throng into the business places, and fille positions in large commercial houses—and why should they not? Every woman cannot marry and have houses and children (to say nothing of husbands) to look after. If ail the unmarried women, have to sit with their hands folded, waiting for a chance to marry, and debar themselves from earn- ing an independent living—there is a mighty poor look out ahead of them. Many women are thrown on the world friendless and moneyless, who, if they had the old fashioned quelms ofconxi nce as to what women should do, would literal'y starve. A girl who has been delicateiy nurtured, is as apt to meet with reverses as anyone else, and be compelled to earn ber own bread and butter. If she is to Le debarred from all else but the work that in former days would be considered fit for her, what is to become of her? A girl might be a very thorough housekeeper, yet the manual labor of a house would prove too much for her; and 60, by de- grees, women are beginning to fill positions with credit to themselves, and, what is far more important, to the perfect satiefac- tion of their employers. : From all such evils as women politi- cians, or women doing men’s work, and assuming men’s manners and a close ap- proach to their dress, I would pray fer- vent'y, “Good Lord, deliver us.” For there, and in like things, the line must be drawn. The sphere that is 4 woman’s, exclusively and beyond doubt, is the house and home. But when that cannot be her destiny, a woman need not unex herself because she has to acccept and do work that men do also. If women, to fulfil their mission, must be wives and mothers, then a great many of the noblest and best women this werld ever knew died leaving their mission unfulfilled; and genera! opinion held shat they were noble ex- amples for other. women to fullow, in the completeness of their work,and the purity and true womanliness of their character. There isa vast difference between the veeker after women’s rights in the ex- aggerated meaning of the word, anl the woman who takes any position she can fill, for the purpose of earning an honest living, there is happy medium which is not often thought of, and many of the women who earn their own living in the midst of men, prove from their better knewledze of men’s failings the best wives and mothers. A woman can do a man’s work; but a man can never do a woman’s. A man can supply for the needs of his home and children—a woman knows best what these needs are. A man fills a place essentially his own; a woman fills up all the empty places, and it is hard to say where she 1s needed most. Women’s in- fluence is imperceptible, it permeates by degrees, as aeubtle perfume steals over. the sense; and fills them all with 8 «wet ness. Therefore the bright side of this vexed question as to whether women are not under pinning the value men’s ser- vices have attained, will be solved ‘the day when men realize that women are a help to them wherever they are,and that a good woman’s influence is beyond measure, in reality, the “ star that leads them through the darkest night, and shows him the way into heaven.” J £eMs. : 2 : How to Get a “Sunlight” Picture, Send 25 “Sunlight” Soap wrappers (wrappers bearing the words “Why Does a Woman Look Oid Sooner Than a Man”) to Levy Bros., 43 Scott St., Toronto, and you will receive by post a pretty picture, free from advertising, and well worth fram- ing.

LEARN HOW TO REST. Nothing So Becoming to Both Fiesh an« Spirit as Complete Fallowness. The art of good looks is a fine art in- jeed, and one that deserves tiie encour- igement it seems to be getting on every side. Even those ‘gids to beauty”—in the shape of lotions, lemen water and skin soaps—so enthusiastically urged upon womankind from the back pages of every magazine and pamphlet in the land, are not tole treated with topping scorn ; they have their place and use in the general struggle for loveliness. But, continues a writer in Harjer’s Bazar, why not back up these effurt. for comeli- | ness by common sense conduct through- out each day’s wear and tear ? To begin with. women sit too much, and women stand quite too much. Nothing isso wearisume as ‘‘standing about,” even tothe well trained body that has been drilled into good pvise, and sitting is not resting, however cleverly women may delude themselves on this point. The young girl who desires te keep away crowsfeet and that jaded look we all know so well, and to retain the sup- pleness and adorable bloom of extreme youth should when off parade or off duty, as the case may be,and in her own room make a couch or the floor her habitual resting place. muscles only when the body is in a re- clining position, and absolute repose when the muscular system is perfectly at rest—relazed. Tne middle aged woman could, I am positive, woo back much of the fresh ness and lithesomeness of girlhood if she would be at a little pains to learn Low to rest. on the floor or on a hard, smooth couch are worth half an hour or so styled “rest” in an armchair or in that unre- poseful tempter, the rocking ‘chair. Some ong has said to jhe women of to-day, ‘Never stand when you Can sit ; never sit when you can lie down.” This exhortation, applied with some elas- ticityyis the best recipe for beauty I know of. While I have little sympathy with the gospel of laziness preached so con- sistently by some lives, I do recommend frequent daily lapses into complete fal- lowness, ; Devil’s Lake Traditions, Tangago, the Tippewas, came from the north and pitched their tepees on the north shore of the lake. They had reason to believe that the Sioux were encamped on the southern shore, and they planned to cross to the south before daylight and surprise their traditional enemies, The Sioux had a similar thought and design, and each tribe proceeded to exterminate the other. ri They metin about the middle of the lake and fought, and all were lost. The time is not fixed except that the incident marks an epoch in the history of both tribes. Another battle was fought after- ward on the south shore between other contingents of those respective tribes. The Chippewas came in canoes from the north as before. This was in 1867. The Chippewa warriors were all slain but one man, who returned badly wound- ed and riddled. The fatalities connected with the lake and the apparitions gave rise to the name Minnewaukan, or spirit water, mysterious water,.fated water, and finally Devil's Lake, as the only English equivalent for the Indian's idea as expressed in Minnewaukan. The Chippewas came here in canoes. The Sioux also used canoes. With but few portages the former could easily at that time, while the lake was so far above its present level come from Lake Superior to Devil's Lake. Since the fatalities related, those Indians have a superstitions dread of canoes. Young people are getting over the dread, but old Indians will wade to their waist fish- ing while boats are within reacn, but won't dare enter.—Minneapolis Tribune. Test for Color Blindness, As a preliminary trial, each candizate is placed with his back to the light at a distance of fifteen feet, and then requir- ed to count the dots on a test card, first with both eyes and then with each sep- arately. If he satisfies the examiner so far, he is then tested by the use of Holm- gren’s colored wools,. which consist of a collection of small skeins of colored Ber- lin wool, each of which is loosely twist- ed up and easily disentangled. The bundles include wools of red, orange, yellow, yellow-green, pure green, blue, violet-purple, pink, brown and grey, in various shades. These be- ing placed in a pile, a skein of the spe- cial color required for examination is selected and set apart, and the candi- date is required to choose from the heap before him the other skeins which most closely resemble the sample and place them side by side. His knowledge of every shade and color, fromabsolute white to glaring red_ or brilliant green,.1s thus clearly ascertained where Bo art Of the crammer can possibly av@il “him. His actual clearness of color sight is decided by the way in which he” performs his task, in the choice of colors held up to him at a distance of fifteen feet. One more confirmatory step cf care- ful trial and the ordeal is over, but not entirely until then. Laetly the proba- tioner has set before him three skeins, of vivid red, like the red flag used for signals on railways; of bright yellowish red, and of scarlet.
