A meeting was held at the Town Hall, Surrey Centre, on Wednesday evening last, to discuss tbe advisability of forming an ussociation of the Patrons of Industry. At eight o'clock the meeting was called to order, and Major Hornby was appointed to preside. After a few remarks the chairman called upon Mr. John Olivor, of Delta, to address the meeting upon tbe subject in band. Mr. Oliver spoke at longth urging the importance of organization amongst the fanning community, whom, ho said, were at the mercy of the merchants, dealers, manufacturers, transportation companies, etc. He referred to what had been accomplished in Ontario and elsewhere by organization, and submitted figures as to the cost of laying down farm machinery and implements here which were astonishing, the saving boing from 25 to 50 por cent, on the prices that the farmers are now paying. The substance of his address was to the effect that farmers had to buy cheaper and sell dearer to be able to make a living, and that the only way to accomplish this was by or* ganization. After Mr. Oliver had finished, a general debate took place in which nearly all present took part. Mr. H. Bose was then nominated as secretary, and upon a Call for mem bership, fourteen names were enrolled. A brunch ussociation wa; then organized with the following staff of officers: President—Chris: Browm Vice-President—Major Hornby. Secretary—H. Bobo: Treasurer- 11. Preston. Guide—A. Bootllroydi Sentinel—A. Richardson. The election of auditors was left over till a future time) The meeting then adjourned and reassembled with the President in the chair. The members were then initiated in the working of the association by Bro. John Oliver, after which the dfficers were duly ' stalled: The name of the association is the Surrey Centre Association of Patrons of Industry. A vote of thanks was tendered to Bro. Oliver) aftfcr whlrh the Association adjourned, to meet again next Wednesday evening, April 17, at 8 o'clock, at Surrey Centre. Found a Skull* A few days ago the skull of a man was found by Mr. W. C. Jones near, a cabin on his farm, on the Hall's Prairie road, south of the Nicomekl. The following particulars are taken from the Colilrtibian: The property on which the cabin stands belong! to Mr: Jones and the first occupant of the shack planted some currant budhfes there. It was to remove thtise that Mr. Jones visited the spot) and while working among the wild growth in the old garden he whb horrified to find a skull lying on the ground Without loss of time he reported the matter tb Rfefeve ArmStfdng| and Dr. Sutherland) of Cloverdale was also called: Diligent search failed to find the body to which the skull belonged, and the conclusion was reached that the ikull had been carried there by dogs or wild animals. Dr. Sutherland gave it as his opinion that, from the condition of tbe skull, death must have taken plan* within the ytiar. The skull wuS completely bereft of skin, hair and flesh on the outsidk) but the brains were still in the cavity though, bf course, sunkfen nnd purtiulij decomposed: To wIicto the skull belongs is a mystery »* no person half tieen missing Irom the neighborliobd in the past I wo yonrs. Capt. l'itten- drigh wiif notified and gave instructions for .i thorough search for the body, which, if found) may be identified by be clothing.

A most enjoyable time Is anticipated. Mil. Wm.

Among the many hindrances to progress which the settler in a new and gradually growing country in population and development, has to contend with is, that individual labor can effect but little in making the land yield much more than what will supply the daily need oi himself, and perhaps his wife and their young children for the eurliir years of their life. And this especially if their farm is covered with trees and bush, or mayhap be swampy— conditions which, in this locality, prevail more us the rule than the exception. How to renu- dy or ameliorate this disadvantage is an important consideration. In other parts of the Dominion, and elsewhere, it has been very success" fullyovercome by a simple arrangement. The farmers have agreed together to combine and help each other. They arrange to meet and clear and fence and plough and seed and harvest each other's farm, and aid in all work and labor that are to be got through according to the season. And even the roads are kept in repair, and in some advanced localities the farmers are their oWn insurers against fire, paying so much a year into a general fund, Which in case of casualties is drawn Upon tn pay the loss, the balance, or the total sum subscribed if there lie no casualty, being returned to the subscribers at the end of the period. Could not something of this kind be organised in this favored municipality ? The advantages of such united action on the part of ten or more ranchers would in one year prove of great benefit to those concerned, and many acres of what is now unprofitable land would soon lie converted into arable and pasture ; live stock and farm produce would ho increased and the means of the family annually augmented, instead "f the present tardy and wearying singledniniled course of proceeding, which, with the small capital avail: able for the employment oi helpers, leaves the prospect of a competency for old age 08 but a very un-atis- factorjf factor for contemplation. Many other benefits would be conferred by such co-operation : neighbors would become more friendly. the gobd qualities of the individual worker would liecome known, and the skill and judgment ol each member would be utilised by all Arrangements could be made whereby the aggregated number by Bubscription might procure improved farm implements, and ideas a.- to the best methods of cultivation, draining) seeding, orchard planting; dairying, stock raising, ami kindred subjects incidental to the farmer's lift, be communicated from man to man until a degree of proficiency is reached which would ensure success to all who formed the mutual-help combination which is here but touched upon tn the most elementary manner. SURREY Times; the first number of which has appeared in a highly creditable form considering the difficulties incidental to such a venture) will doubtless be glad to ventilate' the foregoing subject pro. and con. in Its columns, aa from its tateniwts put forth in manly fashion, \lf- object and principle" will be to promote the progress and welfare ot t\w community; and thus commencing is therefore deservinp of local and general support May it prosper.

In the middle of the confusion and wrangling of other parties tho Social Democrats aro full of activity and of hope They havo many reasons for their confidence, For somo years past tho emperor, the political parties, the church, even Prince Bismarck, havo coquetted with them more or less, have acknowledged that their aims aro often excellent and have promised with here and thoro a qualifying "hut" or "if" to carry them out an far as is humanly possible. They aro therefore justified in the hope that voters whose minds havo been trained to hear them with attention by this general chorus of approval will be tho more disponed to listen to promises which are rot qualified by "ifs" and "buts." Then the Social Democrats ore well organized and know both what they want and how they propose to obtain it. Thene aro great advantages to a political party in all countries, but are more particularly no among the Germans, whose natural instinct it istoobcyordersand to march in file, even when they are in ro- voll. It is therefore quite possible that the Social Democrats may double their numbers at the next election, and it will not be surprising if that estimate is surpassed.—London Saturday Review. A HolC'iin Kuniliiy Law. The Belgian postofBce is about to issue what in called a special S'lnday stamp. It will be A 10-centime (2-ecnt) stamp and at one end will have a little flap. Thin can be torn off or left intact nt the user's will and will carry in French nnd Dutch these words: "Ne pas livres le diinancbc." "Niut bestellen op zontag," which means in English, "The postman is not to deliver on Sunday the letter bearing this stamp." This novelty is intended to start a popular agitation against Sunday government work in Belgium, which is to be stopped if possible in tho future. It is said that a large number of people will post letters unnecessarily on Sunday mornings in order to give expression to their sentiments. It will be interesting to hear how many of these stamps aro used.—Cour* rier des Etats-Cuis.

A ROBBERY AT SEA. A Slum Without a Mllltla. Delaware will soon bo without a slato militia. This condition of nlfairs has its origin in Ihe adverse action of tho state legislature as to an appropriation needed for tho support or tho national guard in that diminutive but prosperous commonwealth. As soon as the legislature defeated the militia bill every officer and enlisted man in tho admirable and well disciplined littlo forco voted to disband, and they aro now engaged in carrying their convictions to u conclusion t'"it is, while personally creditable, most discreditable to Delaware.

Ho adds significantly! "It seems to mo that a government which makes a practice of opening and reading not only tho private letters of its own subjects, but the letters of tho diplomatic representatives of a friendly state, is not a government upon whose honor it Is safe to rely in a question of extradition." She Wim III* Wife. Alfred Stockham, a resident of Weth- ersfield. Conn., and his wife and one child went to Hartford to see tho circus. After tho procession had passed they started up Main street together. Adis- ptita aroso between them, and the fellow struck his wife in the face, breaking her noso and rolling her to the ground. When arrested and asked why ho struck her, Stockham replied, "Why, sho's lay wile," It was ft lovely afternoon toward the close of September when we weighed anchor and sailed out of the river Mersey hound for Melbourne, Wo had a good ship —Janet's Pride—loaded with miscellaneous articles. On board were 14 passengers, and taking them all iu all a plensantor lot I never Steered across tlio stormy seas. There were three old gentlemen who were going out to share their fortunes, come what might, and which, poor old souls, they seemed to think fashioned in the brightest colors long before thu English coast was out of sight. Then there was a solitary old gentleman ' who, judging from the general tone of his conversation, was seeking tho new world for the ostensible purpose of finding fault with It. Thoro were young married couples, nil full of hope nnd activity, bunt upon making a new homo fur away from their native land. There was n\m a very jolly elderly brother and sister, neither of whom hud over entered into the bonds of matrimony, but Instead hud stuck by each other through life. There were three old Australian settlers who hud been over to have a peep at the old country and who were now returning to the land which to them, through long communion, had become tho dearest to them of all others—"home, sweet home." Lust, though not leant, was a solitary prissenger, who soon became the pot of all on hoard. He was a mun of i!8, with a clear complexion, a lung beard and a silky mustache, Ills name was Reginald May. His reason for taking the sea voyage was the delicate state nf his health. There was not the least doubt that the poor fellow's chest was considerably affected, for his voice, though charmingly sweet, was one of the weakest I ever heard; besides, its liollowness suggested consumption. He always wuro a muffler round bis throat. Iu all my wide experience I never knew any one with so many friends and such undivided esteem in so short a time as Reginald May. I believe there was not a sailor on board who did not entertain the warmest possible liking for him. As for the passengers, they never seemed so happy as when listening to bis amusing auecdotes, of which beseemed to possess an inexhaustible store. And thisdelicate young Kuglish- niau had made his conquest over all our hearts before we hud been three weeks at tea. He was, too, very clever with his hands. He could shape you anything out of a piece of wood, from an oyster to nn elephant, and at making models of ships I never met his equal. lie was besides most kind nnd con* j siderato toward his fellow passengers. When the three elderly gentlemen who im- I agined their fortunes made were afflicted . with seasickness, he was the first to offer to help them about while they slowly recov- I ered. Ho would Insist on their taking his I arm, weuk as ho was himself, and ho would lead them about 0:1 deck with a firmness that spoke well for his sea legs. I do not remember any voyage ever passing so quickly as the one when the pleasant passenger was on board, I could heremake a long pauso to dwell on tbe pleasant memories I still entertain of that young man. Wo were within a week's sail of Melbourne. May had nil but completed his model of tho Janet's Pride, which he purposed presenting to me on the night before we landed. He worked on the model on deck, choosing for his table an empty wnter cask under theshelterof the bulwarks. Ho was always nt work lu the morning long before any of the other passengers turned out of their snug berths. As I have stated, we were but a week's sail from Melbourne. For the first time the jovial passenger appeared at the dinner table with a solemn face and silent tongue. I asked him the reason for thu change in bis wonted cheerful manner. At first lie tried to evade my queries, but I pressed htm until I won from him an explanation. "Perhaps, after all, it is only fair that X should explain a little," he answered. "Thu fact of the matter is, my friends, that my watch has been stolen." "Stolen 1" wo all cried. "Undoubtedly, Hut, I pray you, captain," ho raid, turning to me, "not to say ono word about it. Thu only thing that rentiers tho loss of it of consequence to mo Is the fact that it was once my mother's. On that account I would nut havo lost It for any amount of money. However, it Is useless to cry over spilled milk, us the old adage has it." "If the watch is In this ship, we ought to find It," I said. "My dear captain, If you will leave tho matter entirely In my hands, I think I may recover it. This request I am sure you will oblige me by granting." "Why, certainly, my dear sir," I said, "but still" "Exactly," bo interrupted, with his pleasant smile. "You would like to Investigate the case to the utmost of your power, I know, my dear captain. But I can trust you to keep your promise and leave the thing entirely In my hands, cannot If" How could I refuse him? You may readily imagine what consternation this event gave rlsu to among tbe other passengers. The threo old gentlemen at onco began to explain that they owned jewelry to the value of £400, which they usuallyXepKlacked uojn a brown .leather writing case, but unfortunutdy at thepiu. eut time tlio lock was out of order. Mr. May suggested a safe deposit foi their valuables, Tho young married couples nnnounccd the fact of their having at least A"J00 worth of jewelry, and they, too, consulted Mr. May as to the safest place for secreting It. Tho kind hearted brother and sister had, it appeared, more valuables lu tho way of jewelry than any ono on board, since £1,500 had never purchased what they possessed. Tho whole evening was occupied in speculating as to the probable perpetrator of tho theft nnd in condoling with Mr. May on his loss. Every one turned In that night ]u an uneasy state of mind, and it was with astonishment that they found themselves iu tlio morning in full possession of their Worldly goods. Tills improved condition of affairs Boomed to roassuro our passengers, who at onoo again began to look cheerful and ut ease. Reginald May's faco wore its wonted smile, and as heretofore ho charmed nnd enlivened us with his vtvueily and auecdotes. All the day long he worked on the model of tho ship, st ill using the top of thu empty water cask for a worktahlo. That night, wo retired to rest with minds far more at ease than on the previous one. Alasl What a scene of danger and distress camu with the morning! Every passenger on board owning jewelry had been robbed during the night. The three old gentlemen, the young married couples and tbu kind hearted brother and sister found themselves minus every article they possessed. Even (lie grumbling old gentleman had lost his gold snuffbox. There was no keeping matters quiet this time. The thief must be traced and brought to justice. What was thu wisest, method of procedure? What would Mr. May suggest f "I would suggest, though most reluctantly, that every sailor and every sailor's luggage bo carefully searched," he said. I "I ngreu to see to that," I remarked. I "This," he continued, "must be most humiliating to the feelings of your eruw, captain, and therefore, lu common fairness to them usourfcllowmcn, let mu suggest that i every passenger's luggage lie also l borough- ly searched." A little hesitation on the part of one or two of the passengers was shown before acceding to the lust proposal, bat our pleasant passenger soon contrived to bring I those who lirst. demurred to his way of thinking. "Of course, there is not a passenger on bnurd who is not. above suspicion," he said; "yet, in justice to the feelings of tho crew, it is the least we can do." ' This delicate feeling and t bought fulness on the part of Mr. May rendered him moru pleasing ia our eyes than ever. I Many of the crew objected strongly to Is' Ing searched, bat all were compelled to submit. Tbe old boatswain was wild with anger, and vowed that if it cost him his life he would trace the thief who caused i him to bo searched like a common pickpocket. Even the pleasant passenger utterly failed to soot he Ids deep sense of injury. Well, a thorough search was made by myself and thu kind hearted old gentleman and his sister. Every one's traps weru ransacked from top to bottom without success. Further search was useless. What was to be done? That night, nil having been made snug and every one having turned in, I went on deck, it being what wo call at sea "the caj>- tain's watch." About 4 o'clock lu the morning I turned in, thu second officer then coming on duty. My cabin was situated amidships on deck, ami from my windows I could Bee to larboard and startioard und from stem to stern. Somehow I could not rest, ho dressing myself, I determined to sit up and smoke. I drew aside my curtains and looked out. It was the gray light of the early morning, and there was a stiffish breeze blowing. To my groat surprise 1 beheld Reginald May on deck. I was about to open my cabin door and Invite him to join me in my unrest, when the peculiar nature of his proceedings riveted my attention. He looked timidly around as if afraid of attracting observation. Then suddenly, as if the coast was clear, ho walked rapidly toward tho empty water cask on which he was accustomed to manufacture bis model of the ship. Once more glancing cautiously about him bo then applied his hands to the cask, and with a rapid movement lifted half the top bodily off. My astonishment and excitement were intense. Another hasty glance, around, and he put his hand down into the cask, then quickly withdrew it, holding In his grasp a small bag, which he rapidly concealed in tho breast of his coat. Ho again took a hasty survey and was about making another dive into the strange receptacle for hidden goods when ho suddenly withdrew, having quickly replaced the lid on the cask. In another moment the cause of his alarm was made apparent, as a couple of sailors passed him on their way to relieve tho man at the wheel, When all was again quiet, for an Instant he seemed determined to return at once to the old cask and no doubt withdraw something more that thu interruption hnd prevented his taking in the first place. Hut suddenly changing his mind, he went down the stairs that led from the deck to the sleeping cabins. Scarcely had May disappeared when another figure, stealthily crossing tho deck, met my anxious observation. It was the boatswain. I saw him glance toward the nt airs down which May had taken bis departure. Ho then made directly for the cask. It was now obvious to me that the old boatswain had boon watching I he pleasant voyager. Just as tho old sailor reached tho water cask a heavy green sea struck the ship to windward, necessitating the boatswain's holding on by thu ropes to keep Ids footing, and precisely at thu sumo moment May appeared at the top of the cabin stairs. Tbe instant thu ship steadied herself tbe old boatswain commenced his examination of tho water cask. For a moment only May stood gazing nt him with osevilugluuceas I ever snw. With one, bound ho was upon the sailor before he could protect himself. I waited no longer, but flung open my cabin door and sprang to the rescue. In n few minutes we had our pleasant friend in irons. So you see lie was the thief after all, hiding his knavery under the pleasantcst exterior I ever met with. Tho munner in which he hod manufactured the top of the water cask was a very ingenious piece of carpentry. Iu tbe interior of the sides of tho cask ho had driven several nails about two feet from thu top, on which ho had suspended In wash leather bags the jewelry he had stolen. You may easily imagine the surprise evinced by tho people on board on discovering that tho thief was the man for whom each and everyone of them entertained Buch regard. At the expiration of thrco days from the date of May's detectlou we landed in Melbourne, and of course 1 handed him over to tho police, but as no one enro to remain in the town for tho purpose of prosecuting him he was .summarily dealt with, The presiding magistrate sentenced him to six months' imprisonment with hard labor.— Exchange.

Violet Dale is a Brooklyn girl, aged 10 years, who has managed to secure popular favor for her ability as an entertainer. She is especially good in recitations and in dancing, the latter a natural gift, which has been added to by competent instruction. With nil her skill and the favor it has won her she is as natural and artless in her manner as any one of her little playmates and looks upon her skill merely as the means to an end. This end Is the aid of her mother, the widow of a journalist and'herself an Invalid, though au artist of ability. It is touching to see the affection expressed by each for the other, Though the daughter has had offers that would benefit her and be an aid to her mother In a substantial way, the fact that it means a possible separation is enough to have them declined. A pleasing personality Is one of Violet's strongest aids before the public. Rig brown eyes light up a face around whoso brood brows masses of dark curls cluster. A rather large but expressive mouth lends pleasant expression to her lower features, and the luck of any precocious look attracts every one to the little one. Her name Is not a fancy one chosen for professional purposes, but her own family and seemingly entirely In keeping with her character. Her mother realizes the hard work that Is before tbe little one, but she has confidence In her future which the child's present ability nnd her apparent purpose would seem to warrant. She has already appeared with ! success at tho Union league and before other clubs and societies In the city.—Brooklyn Eagle.

The National Religion UarwonliM Somewhat With WcnUii-ii Thought—The Spirit ofToleratIon—Not Regularly EttablUhod Until 18HH. A Japancso gentleman not long ngo visited a drug store on tho Third nvonuo, In this city, and asked for a postagu stamp. Tlio stamp was duly supplied by tho head of tlm drug store, who, wishing to hu pleasant and agreeable to tho foreigner, said, "Well, sir, which do you like better, America or China?" Tho .lapaneso gentleman Indignantly replied*. "May I suggest, sir, that It is your business to sell drugs and stamps, and that you should confine yourself to thene duties? I alii Hot a Chinaman, but. a native of Japan, and it is a murk of your ignorance of geography that you do not know the difference." Without apologizing for thu rudeness of the gentleman of Japan, wo vuntu|t to remark (hat western peoples, it en tho most educated among us, do not seem to carefully distinguish between Japan nnd China. Thu Japanese have alwnys regarded themselves as far in advance in civilization, aud there is nothing which offends tho native of the island of Japan more than to bu tul.cu for a ('hiiiaiuaii. Very much of tho liberal attitude of the people of Japan toward western thought and custom arises from the fact that its national religion is Shltltotsm. Most people Imagine that lluddhism is Ihu religion of Japan, and 001ISO quuutly tlm national cult of Hhiiitolsm is a religious belief which until tho last 110 years had never boot) heard of iu thu western world. For centuries Japan was a terra incognita to Ihe rest of humanity, although its history dates from urn) It. c, wbou Jimmer Tenno was king, and ShintniMii was his creed, lluddhism was not Introduced into Japan until 000 of thu Christian era, when it oiuno from India by way of Korea. The term Shinto is of Chinese origin and is expressed by tho almost unpronounceable Japanese word of Kami-nn- niichi, the meaning of both words being "thu way of the spirits." The essential principle of Shintoism is a combination of ancestor worship aud nature worship, and it would seem that tho latter of those elements is largely duu to the contact of Japan with tho Taoism of China. Shinotism is therefore the veneration of tho country's herons and benefactors of every age, legendary, historical, ancient and modern. Tho essential fcntnro of Shintoism is its liberal attitude townrd other religious beliefs, and when Buddhism was brought into tho country the priests of the ancient belief extended the right hand of fellowship toward its missionaries. But tho same liberality has not always been returned by the clergy of Buddhism, and not very long ago one of tho greut temples at Tokyo was burned by the Buddhists to prevent its falling into tho hands of tho Shinto priests. Shintoism has been equally liberal toward modern Protestant missionaries, for before the Church of England edifice nt Tokyo, now known as St. Andrew's church, was built the present Shinto government lent one of the Shinto temples for Church of England services. Whenever opposition to Christianity has arisen it bus come from the old nobility, who are opposed to all change and are zealous supporters of Buddhism. Although Shintoism has been the ancient religiou of Japan for more than 24 centuries, it had never been declared the "established religion" of Japan until the year 1808, when for reasons wholly political it became tho established religion of tho country. A grant of $300,000 a year was made for tho maintenance of the Shinto temples and shrine", which are said to bo somewhere about 100,000 in number. The Buddhism of Japan had been exceedingly aggressive nnd hnd almost subverted the ancient system of Shintoism, but now when a child is born it Is taken by its parents cither to n Shinto or a j Buddhist temple for dedication. Fnnor- > als are now conducted by either Shinto or Buddhist priests, as the relatives may prefer. Tho first great god of the Shi nt os is Mingo no Mikoto, the remote ancestor pf tho priest mikado, who is said to have been descended from tbo god and goddess of the sun. The mikado is known among tho Japanese as Tcushl, or the sou of heaven, on account of his celestial descent, tho tltlo of mikado meaning very much tho same as the sublimo porto of thu Ottomans—namely, "tho presence," an expression so common iu oriental lands for exalted personages. It is said that when tho goddess of the sun made tho mikado's remote ancestor (Mingo) sovereign of Japan she delivered to him "tho way of the gods" and decreed that his dynasty should bo ns immovable as the sun and tho moon; hence tho need for making Shintoism tho established religion. She also gave him n mirror as a sacred emblem, saying, "Look upon this mirror as my spirit, keep It iu tho same houso and upon the same floor with yourself, and worship it ns if you wero worshiping my actual presence. " The story is that this sacred mirror is still in the Shinto temple of Naiku, at Yamnda, although it has never been seen by a western traveler. Tho rites of Shintoism for many years occupied a conspicuous place in the rules of tho conrt of Japan, and thoro are ten ■eetions of the sacred book kuown as tho " Yengi Shikl" devoted to court ceremonies. It must bo understood that, according to Shinto belief, the great incar- nato god is tho mikado himself, hut tho gods of Shintoism are numbered by thousands. — Thomas P. Hughes in New York Sun.

Information Useful to the Huusfkeeptr in Slimmer—Seasonable lllnti at to Dress ami Diet —I'orional I'lmiirrHpli* About Well Known Women. The servant girl problem, which has been agltnted from time immemorial, lias now becomo more serious than over. Tho scarcity of available girls is alarming, and what makes the situation more unpleasant is the Tact that tho many employment agencies throughout tho city holdout very little hope of improvement until fall. The main reason for tho present condition of affairs Is tho enormous number of girls who have gone to Chicago, where they hope to combine business with pleasure and seo tho World's fair, (hie of the largest employment agencies in the city is on Forty-second Htreet. To a reporter ibis morning the proprietor said: "Never In my BO years' experience i this business havo I soon girls —I ineiiii t,ood, geiu-nil housework girls —so scarce. My reason for Hr Well, there are two. One is the Chicago fair, and the other ihe many summer boarding houses t hotels that have begun to gel ready. Why. there was one concern iu this city thai has sent over son girls on to Chicago for the new hotels. You may imagine what a hole that makes iu the supply, But from what I hear most of tho girls wish thomsolvos buck in New York city. Thoy are finding out that Chicago is not Ihe Eldorado thoy expected, 1 I guess a great many of them will return In a month or so snddor, but wiser, ami, I might add, poorer women. "Several of my bent girls who went on there hftVOwritten me that if lean place thorn thoy will return Immediately, 1 couldn't get to the telegraph office quickly enough to tell them to come on. I expect Ibeiu Monday, and they can havo thofr choice from 00 applications for girls. Talk about your prima donna selecting her part, she ain't in it with the servant girl of the pivsontday. Come Oround about October, I'll have plenty of girls then." H. L. Aekerman, the manager of tho Cosmopolitan Employment agency, in answer to the reporter's question said: "Are servant girls scarce? Well, I should say they are, and what makes it moro annoying is the fact that when a good girl cuines along she invariably wants t«» go to Chicago, where she can enjoy the World's fair. It's getting worse and worse. What the large hotels and private families will do this summer for good bouseworkers I cannot conjecture. Already their salaries have jumped from $11 to fju, and they are hard to get at that, I am thinking that tho thousands of girls who went to Chicago will wish that they had remained here. That city, 1 understand, is overcrowded with girls not from New York alone, but from nil over the conn- try. The result is, I think, that the girls will coiue home sooner than they ex- pocted. The servant girl today is an autocrat— 'she must be obeyed.' I really feel sorry for my best patrons, who blame me for not supplying them with girls, but what am 1 to do if the girl is not to be had? But things will be different in the full, and the usual supply will be on baud for all who want them." Probably oneof the oldest employment agencies is the See & Schaefer's. This firm supplies help to the Four Hundred and arc in a position to know whereof they speak. Regarding tho scarcity of girls, one of the firm said: "Yes, there is absolutely a dearth of good bouseworkers. The demand is five times as great 08 the supply, The World's fair is not alone responsible for the scarcity of girls. You see, the immigration has been very sliin of late, and as we get most of our girls from that source it has greatly inconvenienced us and annoyed our customers."—New York Commercial Advertiser.

But really I do not think women jurors would be just tho thing. The selection must bo made of women with very strong .characters, great confidence in themselves and able to detach themselves from their surroundings iu a greater or less degree, and that cannot always be done. It must lie a wonderful woman whocouldstandout against II men." "Don't you think it a good plan to have women jurors on cases when thu prisoner is a woman?" "No, I do not. Women are nearly always a woman's most severe critic, and ■he would furo very much better nt the hands of 12 men jurors than from tho other sex. The only time I really think a woman would be of any great nse on the jury would bo in a case of insanity. There I think her knowledge of her own rex and instincts would bo invaluable.

But tho tide turned gradually as the nse and beauty of organized work among women came to he ltmnvn, and the club was finally adopted by women with the characteristic enthusiasm of their sex. | It is a noticeable fuct that during the Inst year u score of women's clubs iu the vicinity of Boston alono celebrated their tent h anniversary, it is now the easiest and simplest of matters to form u woman's dub, while those already in existence find themselves popular, prosperous and influential.—Mrs. E.

IImi-p Ilugn If'rnii, Old Carpets. Summer time, with its bare floors and colorless matting, is wtien rugs are must needed. Here, then, is a hint which Borne women may be able to use. It is moro than probable the house holds an old, worn ingrain carpet rolled away somewhere. If this ueeds brushing, brush it; then cut it into strips un inch wide, being careful not to cut across the warp, backstitch the strips together and send them to a weaver of rag carpets with directions as to the lengths you desire woven and the injunction to use the best warp possible, If you think it too much trouble to cut and sew the strips, the weaver will doubtless do that work also for a trifle. You will receive some handsome, thick rugs, which those who do not know the secret will think closely allied to Turkish. The effect, where the original carpet was of a bright color, is really charming, and you have the satisfaction of ordering just such lengths as suit your needs for a bay window or in front of a sofa or a bed. These rugs, which, by the way, will not answer for stair carpet, as they are too stiff and thick, will lost indefinitely. Some1 have been in use four years and are still good.—Indianapolis News.

Her father was n captain in the Danish army, who had to live on his meager pay, bo that his girl had no hope for a dower.

She soon displayed great aptitude for the work, aud having just completed her apprenticeship has been admitted as a full member of the Joiners' guild at Copenhagen by unanimous vote. In accordance with the sensible custom which prevails in Denmark Miss Christensen had to submit a specimen ot her own unaided work before being admitted to the complete honors of the guild. She made an artistic self closing bookcase, the beauty and finish of which extorted the admiration of every member of tho guild.

The Prince of Wales will reopen the north transept of St. Bartholomew's, Siuitlitield, the famous church which few American travelers fail to visit. The restoration fund of St. Bartholomew's has just been augmented by the sum of £700 from, of all persons iu tho world, the little old woman who used to act as sexton and show visitors round. She was apparently worth no moro than the shoes she stood in, but when she died u few months ago she left property valued at over £3,000, of which American visitors must have contributed a very large proportion, for few Englishmen took any interest in the grand old church. Tho old sextoness had ample cause to love it, for she spent the greater part of her long life in and about it, and for some years post she had occupied a room in the old north transept, a part of which, as many ' Americans will remember, was also used for a blacksmith's forge.—Exchange. A Llfht and Airy Trifle. One of the trifles "light as air" which help in so largo a measure to make the home cozy and attractive is a bag of silk illusion filled with silk from milkweed pods. The length is generally four times that of the width. Fill each and nearly to the middle with milkweed Bilks, concealing among this bits of wadding sprinkled with sachet powder. Tie around the middle with baby ribbon anil finish the ends with loops of the same. This is a pretty souvenir for a friend in the country to send to some ono less fortunate who may have had to remain all summer in tho city. The creamy color of the silk showing through its filmy covering contrasts daintily with pink or pale green ribbons.— Philadelphia Times, THE WnONQ WAT.

While it may lie that the abundant circulation of silver would be ''f very i -idernlile benefit locally 'mil perhaps ol some temporary benefit generally) yet it is not easy to see how such n cause Could either Inake or Unmake the business stagnation at present afflicting the world. If we turn to the fiscal puliiies uf the nations, ami seek there an explanation of the state nf things under consideration) we Hnd ourselves again at fault, fur the trouble is ns prnnimui'eil in free trade England as in highly protective America) Hnd vice versa, so that manifestly tlio runt of the general evil does not rest in the quality ol n custom! tariff] however important thai may be to an Individual state.

The unsettled west bus dropped into the Pacific Ocean. If the preceding view of the world's great works of the latter half of this century is rightly taken, it will be admitted that the suggested cause is ipiile cohlpetent to account for Ihe general business collapse of the lust two years. Then another question presents itself: When trade recovers from existing abnormal depression, will it proceed in the old channels to which the lust generation ur two huve become iiccustoined, or will it be compelled by circumstances tn find other nnd narrower courses, somewhat on the lines of those existing before mankind's great era of public works was inaugurated by Ihe invention of Jatnes Watt ? The answer is doubtful in view of the wonderful resources nf modern science ; but, at least) there does not appear any justification for the belle! thai the old days of teeming plenty will ever ngnin return to Ihe muss of the people of this continent) arid he will be foolish who builds upon it. The outlook for simple labor is not promising, and with all the Qraw- baoks of fnrniing, the tiller of tbe soil will act the purt of wisdom who remains' with the assured livelihood of the land in preference to adventuring the risk uf precarious employment in the towns and cities.
