have the same characteristics regard
ing the flying of the loose hairs
and the absorption of aYaenic into
the system. In some few establishments
they receive beaver skins am naturel
and pluck out the long hairs, though
that work is not always done here.
Sealskin also has to be treated in the
same way, and the coarse long hairs
are plucked out leaving the soft fur ex-
posed. Some of the girls who work
at the fur trade are set to making but
tons for the sealskin sacques, and as
this work is comparatively easy it is
very poorly paid. They earn by steady
work about four dollars . week if ex-
pert. In some cases q whole family of
girls will be found working together.
1t takes about year for girl to learn
fur sewing, though those who finish
off garments must of necessity under
stand It better still The pay ID fair
for experts. for they can earn up to ten
dollars week, but the work is not
steady, and in the winter and spring
there are many idle months, so that the
average is at once reduced to FIVE dol
lars. When learning, girls usually get
one dollar a week for the first year,
and 1t is very rare that one receives
over FIVE dollars week inside of three
years, and this then is reduced nearly
one-half by the dull months. The
most of the fur manufactures in this
city are owned by Hebrews. and they
are uniformly kind to the girls. There
is not one complaint from over two
hundred girls seen by the writer. OF
any brutal or unmanly conduct They
are treated with great respect-M Y.

stripes. The former appear less fire.
quent in blocks than last summer, but
are principally found in overland
squares or with small checks in larger
ones, also blended, but in this case
manly with heavy horizontal and
small cross lines. Heavy stripes,
gradually blending. oftentimes made
of bright, variegated silk effects or
marked by very fine parallel lines. are
shown in new asSortments of trOuser-
ings.
Modes are the favorite colors, the
darker shades being relieved by lighter
silk threads. Lilac in small blendings
predominates as effect shade, while the
formerly fashionable reddish and blue
shades have entirely disappeared.
Cheviots and nap fabrics have not
been made at all, nor are hard worsteds
represented in the new assor;ments of
trouserings.
Some very attractive novelties in
mixtures and silk thread effects have
appeared in overcoatings. The, mkt
ures consist mainly of blush mode
shades, while one toned light worsteds
in broad diagonals, as well as smooth.
ciothIike fabrics, are extensively shown
for overcoatings. 1t is believed that
the latter will be in good demand in
the spring, especially as the genuine col
ors for the summer run most decidedly
in blue green, silver gray and elephant
gray. Dark shades. mixed with silk
thread, silk mixed granite effects and
tricots are also shown for overcoatings
in several quarters
Fast colored worsteds still take the
lead for coatings. Besides the already
known wide diagonal effects which
have appeared in new variations. con.
sisting Of diagonal stripes toned down
with figured lines, the most prominent
designs consist of small and large
raised relief like checks, similar to the
corded and etamine ladies' dress fab.

inspectors, license inspectors, ETC.,
instead of being elected by the peo-
ple. as they would be under a truly
Democratic system, are appointed for
life for political reasons. The people,
whose servants they are, have no
voice in their appointment, and can
not remove them, no matter how UNI
fit or disreputable they prove them
selves.
The electoral machinery by which
the people are supposed to DO fairly
and fully represented in the Dominion
Parliament is manipulated by the
administration. They appoint the
revising barristers, TO whom is en-
trusted the duty Of deciding who
shall and who shall not vote. They
have power in many constituencies
OF making or unmaking majorities TO
suit the will Of their masters at OF
tawa.
All this is not Democracy. 1t il
utterly opposed both to the letter
and spirit OF Democratic institutions.
And the people who tamely tolerate
these and host OF similar abuses,
which might easily be named, cannot
correctly be said to be Democratic in
any sense OF the word.
From all OF which 1t appears that
the Toronto World had good ground
for writing that
"Any man who seriously sits down
with the deliberate intent OF demon
strating legitimate comparison be-
tween the Province OF Ontario and
the State OF California must be de-
void OF that saving sense OF humor
which prevents man from compar'
ing things that are not comparable
The World also says that
"Mr. Freeman makes further
mistake when he imagines that the
people OF the East know little OF
nothing Of the soil and climate oil
California. He must not think that
he is the only Canadian who has ever
soiourned in the land of irrigatine
bitches" And yet this man who
knows so much about California, and
who would have us infer that he has
"sojourned in the land, ETC., knows
so little even Of the geography Of the
country that he places Los Angeles
in Lower California, when any Los
Angeles street gamin could tell him
that Lower California is not even in
the United States, but is province
OF Mexico. A wise editor truly OF 8

tain soreness or stiffness in the joints
