THE new Dominion OF Canada is to
cost something. This Is the first dis
covery of those who are dominated
over. The salaries of the officers of the
Federal Government will cost at least
one hundred and fifteen thousand dol
lars. perhaps one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars per annum. This will
be considerably more than is paid in
the United States to the President and
all the members of his Cabinet, who
get among them eighty-one Thousand
dollars. With subordinate officers in
foil numbers, at salaries apportioned
with similar liberality, the expense of
the Canadian experiment will run up
to an extent which will quite startle
the worthy people of that cool region.
Then there are provincial governments,
with their Lieutenant-Governor and
other dignataries, who must all be sup
ported, and will require liberal al
iowance. The old Canadian Govern
ment was apparently a cheap one; but
change the system and provide new Of
ficers, and what was done at an enco-
nomical rate, Will be worse done at q
great expense.

For the GIrls---HOW 90 Get q Husband.
From an excellent communication,
published in the Columbus (Miss.l Ia
dex, of June 8, we copy the following
expressly for the girls:"
Being old, and therefore allowed Ii
cense for teasing the girls on matrimo-
nial subjects, consult them about
their future prospects often, and find
that the opinion obtains with them,
that the young men were never so slow
in proposing as in these days, which,
we must admit, gives them good, not
to say all-poweriul reasons for not ta-
king husband. Now, young ladies,
the whole secret with nine-tenths OF
you, OF not being able to get OF your
parents hands, is simply that YOU
don't know how to work. You can't
keep house. You can't make u pair of
breeChes. You can't tell tor the life of
you, the difference between bran and
shorts, or which COW gives the butter
milk. The young men generally come
out o: the war with the skin OF their
teeth" with no fortune, L might say,
but their wardrObes of gray and their
canteens, and to marry with them now,
rest assured, relates more to making II
living with the assistance OF a loving
industrious help mate, than iudulginS
in opera music, moonshine and poetry.
y
your butterfly young ladies who has
held them in the parlor engaged by the
hour listening to elegant nothings?"
Nineteen times out of twenty tits this
We'll, she's all right for an evenings
entertainment, but she will not make Il
good wife" r.-
There is no possible objection to the
accomplishments OF music, painting
and the like, as such, but the idea is TO
be able 10 set these prior amusements
aside for the period when the stern du-
ties of married life call for your prac-
tical knowledge. Show the young men
that you can do your part of double
business; that You can cook a meals
victuals on pinch; that you can sweep
up, and dust, and darn old stockings,
and save penny toward an accumu-
lated pound; that you will not be
dead expense to him through life. Be
Heve me, young friends, as many true,
heroic, womanly hearts beat over
household duties, as flutter beneath
the soit light of u parlor chandelier.
Your kiss is just as sweet, your smiles
just as bright, your heart as happy md
tender, after days exertiou in sphere
worthy of true womanhOOd, as in
places of dissipation, frippery and silly
amusement. Have an am bition TO do
your part in life; cultivate industrial
habits and let the psrlor accomplish
ments go with the higher accomplish
ments ! have roughly enumerated. 1t
Is astonishing how soon domestic
young lady is found out and appreciR-
ted. II Is because she is such a rare eX-
ception TO the general rule.

THERE was meeting of working
men held in Allegheny City few
evenings siIfee, to consider the recent
importation OF foreign laborers to take
the places of the strikers in the Pitts
burgh iron works. The meeting was
addressed by several workingmen, and
passed resolutions advocating the for
nation of national labor party, and
directing that "the workingmen Of AL
legheny county do not object TO the or
dinary free immigration of laborers to
the United States, from any country on
the globe, yet do oppose, and hereby
earnestly do protest against all organ
lied purchased importations of labor
ers, seconded by manufacturers, for the
purpose of overstocking the labor mar
ket of any one locality, feeling as they
do that such importations are hostile 10
all just rights and interests of home
labor, resulting at the same time ipjuri-
ousIy to the imported laborers them
selves, and inevitably leading to pau
perism and crime" They also passed
a resolution calling for a State Labor
Convention of Pennsylvania, TO con-
slider various subjects of interest to the
working people. 1t Is announced that
at the latest mail dates that the wages
of skilled iaborers in Melbourne, AUS
traIia, were from 81 75 to 50 25 for a
days work OF eight hours; for farm
hands, 81 1910 81 a week, with board
and lodging; for day laborers, 81 90 to
81 IS day, and for female domestics,
SI65 to sIp5 wear. At the same time a
four pound loaf of bread or a pound of
wheat can be had for about fifteen

IT is gala year, not for France
alone, but for all Europe; and not for
Prince and Pontif merely, but for the
people. The reviews, the pageants,
fairs, singing-festivals shooting-match-
es, which summer always brings, are
this year doubly brilliant. In London,
they are talking of monster volunteer
review; in Hungary they still celebrate
the coronation; Germany is crowned
with garIands and flowing with beer;
in Switzerland they are to have won
derful singing festival OF choral socie-
ties, this month, at Geneva, and in the
canton of Neufchatel the famous Ter
Federal, or national target-shooting,
bids fair to be Unprecedented in at
traction. The amount of the prizes
raised for this last affair already reach
es an almost incredible sum, and thou
sands of marksmen will participate.
One would think that Central Europe,
mindful ofthe stormy year last past,
and presaging stormier year to come,
was determined to have its all OF
pleasure while peace remains.

PHoroeRAPaINa after novel style
has been tried with success in Paris
A photographer of that city has con-
trived a way of getting a number of
successive photographs OF the same
sitter, as TO reproduce him when NOV
ing. The camera is provided with a
certain number of object glasses, all
corresponding with diaphragms OF
proper dimensions behind. Before the
operation begins all the object-glasses
sre covered with thick curtain, which
will roll up instantaneously like those
OF a carriage window by touching a
spring, but the motion may be regulated
al will. As the curtain rises 1t presents
a round hole to each object-glass in sue
cession, So that each receives the image
an a different moment. All these ina
0es, each representing somewhat diff
.ferent attitude, are successfully thrown
ON the same sensitised plate, whereby a
whole series OF different photographs OF
Il le same person is obtained.

DECORATIONS form the subject of In
vestigation of a writer in the New York
Evening Post. He states that one
thousand eight hundred Belgians wear
decorations of the Order Of Leopold,
and that sixty-four thousand French
men wear decorations of the Legion of
Honor. The proportion of the decor
ated 10 the undecorated is, in Belgium,
one TO sixty-six, and in France one to
one hundred and sixty-six His con-
clusion is, that any one who has a de-
sire for ribbons Will prefer Belgium 10
France as a LIace ofresideDce.

THE Paris exhibition, which makes
us acquainted with so many things
and evinces the progress made in every
department of industry, gives also
pleasing evidence ofths spread OF ele-
Inentary instruction among the people
of France. a correspondent of the
London Morning Star, very truly re-
lnarks that Sin every country the work
ing classes are beginning to understand
that they, as well, If not even more
than the privileged classes, are gifted
with a soul, brain, and Intelligence,
and that they are something more than
skillfully organized animals, whose
fate Is to go on II perpetual round OF
toll, of anxiety and of labor. 1t is well
said that the French are fond of talking
of liberty; but can we call that u ra-
tional liberty which consists in allow
ing fathers and mothers TO bring up in
total Ignorance their sons and daugh-
ters? Let us look at Saxony for an en-
couraging example of what the Stale
may do for its people. Although that
country possesses but two millions of
Inhabitants, Ii is endowed with two
thousand primary schools, wherein
l65, 900 boys and 10000 girls attend
tue COuEbtS vi gwen ny @iOOJ
instructors. The Sunday schools are fire.
quented by 600 pupils. Not a father, not
a mother, can evAde the law; whether
they like it or not, they are bound by
Law to have their children taught read
ing and writing, a well as elementary
notions of arithmetic. To the Govern
ment and people of the United states,
Information OF this nature cannot but
be very satisfactory-notm merely on the
ground of their sympathy with the i'm
provement of all nations, but also OF
direct interest in their own welfare and
greatness, as promoted by the immi-
grafton of intelligent and educated
masses from Germany, which is annu-
ally adding largely to our German pop
ulation.
A great contrast with the education
picture of Saxony, and it should be ad-
ded Prussia, also, Is presented In
France, where in certain districts, sixty
men and eighty women out of a hun
dred do not know either how to read or
write. Thanks, however, to the ener-
getic exerIions of NJ. Durny, this state
OF things will soon be remedied. AL
ready, in less than two years, the adult
educational establishments of France
rose from 8 .6s3 to %. $40, creating there
by an increase of 800 900 pupils. There
are now 5000 libraries In the rural dis
tricts OF that country, which lend out
600, 900 books per annum.

THE IMPOTENCE OF INDIVIDUALS
That man as an individual is the crea-
ture OF condition and circumstance, is
Il fundamental principle in the histori-
cal philosophy evolved by Buckle, and
feebly followed by Draper. In fact, so
powerful does Buckle believe the influ-
ence of outer agencies upon the indi-
vidual, that he utterly rejects all con-
sideration of hereditary tendencies as
manifested in particular breeds or races
of men, or the lower animals. That he
is clearly in eiror in the latter relation
has been demonstrated by Lewes, in his
physiology of Common Life" Still,
the ingenuity and plausibility with
which Buckle advocates his peculiar
views and the admirable nptness of his
Illustrations render them very interest
ing to the general reader:
"whoever is accustomed TO general
ize smiles within himself when he hears
that Luther brought about the Reform
alton; that Bacon overthrow the ancient
philosophy; that William III sUwed
English liberties. He smiles
at such assertions, because he knows
full well that such men, useful as they
were, are only t. be regarded as tools
by which that work was done, which
the force and accumulation of preced-
ing circumstances had determined
should be done. Not only are individ
uals, in the great average of affairs in
operative for good; they are also, hap
PLY for mankind, imperative for evil.
Nero and DomitiHn caused enormous
mischief, but every trace Oft has now
disappeared Well did Mon
tesauieu say that the Roman Empire
was overthrown, not by the ambition
OF Cesar and Pompey, as is commonly
supposed, but by the state of things
which made the success of that ambi-
tion possible. The great
majority of men will, however, always
cling to Caesar and Pompey; that is to
say, they will prefer the study OF proxt-
mate causes to the study OF remote
ones"
