Scarcity of Domestic Servants.

The scarcity Of domcstics revealed bv
the other incidents mentioned is an M
doubted fact. At tho very time that We
are being asked to aid in the emigration
OF surplus women, and are being called
upon to pity the poor ncedlew0men of
tho metropolis toiling the livelong day
Tor Wretched pittanCe too small to pro
VIDE adequately the mere necessarics of
eXlstence-at that very time good food
warmth, shelter III nice houses and q rem
sonable amount of pocket money arc
being frultleSajy offered in return for
comparatively light toll. Why is tbis2
Why do girls prefer being jam-makcre,
or boX-makers, or needlewomen. and
starving by inches after prolonged toll at
such occupations, instead of acceptinn
comfort and good wages as domestic
servants? L was sitting on the platform
at q public meeting last winter when q
lady sitting beside mo rose and ooyn n
pathetic account of girls under her char
gable notice earning only nine shillinos
weekly by stitching from one morninC.
till the next. At that very time, I wn9
vainly advertising for an expert needle
woman, to come to do the STITCHING for
my home and few light domestic du-
ties, in return for which she would have
q comfortable home and nearly nine
shillings a week il addition. When the
lady resumed her seat beside me quietly
asked her, in her c&r, why this class OF
girls did not go to service? She replied,
with considerable and unnecessary tart
ness, chat they had neither the clothes
nor the knowledge to do so. But l did
not find this answer sufficient Can any
of my readers hely me to solve the prob
lem why girls will not go to scrvicc?-n-

PEMBROKE, ONT., October 2O-Tbc
German who murdered his ncighbor's wife
near Palmer Rapids, this county, a few
days ago, has been arrested. The crime Is
most atrociOus. Hc went to the shanty

nizcd her pcrilous position and managed
to break open the door and rescued her
children from the burning building. The
ticnd as soon as he saw her outside, pounded
her life ont with n club and threw her BODY

Since the coinage Of standard dol
lars, began, in the second quarter Of
1878, to include the 3lst of Decem-
Der, 1885, the product Of silver by
the mines of our country has aggre-
gated at the most 4S,2OO,OO0, esti-
mating the metal at its coined value
IN standard dollars, which would
give, had it all been minted in the
country, coinage of but 3,744 ,O86
standard dollars each and every
month since the law went into oper-
alton, or $255,914 less per month
than the maximum prescribed by law
Of 1878. And at that rate of coinage,
the number of standard dollars in the
country at this time would not have
exceeded Sc per head Of our popu-
iation, or IS per head less than the
legal tender silver which circulates in
France, 5000 less than that which
<irculates in Holland, and 1922 less
than that circulating in Belgium,
coupled in each case with materially
more gold than circulates per head
among the people of the United
States at this time.

The reading world has had its az

Samoan Islands, because Of their
seizure by the German Empire. This
group is situated in the Southern Pa
ciic Ocean, between latitude l3 de-
grees ~ minutes and IA degrees IS
minutes south, and longitude 172 de-
erees 48 minutes west. They include
nine inhabited islands with popula-
tf,n Of 10000. The climate OF these
sslandsis very equable, the mercury
seldom rising higher than 81 or fall
ing lower than 10. The first mission
aries landed in 1880 from the Socie-
tye Islands. The islands were survey
ed in 1889 by Commodore Wilkes, at
which time they were governed by
native chiefs. In 1875 king was
elected, under whom Colonel Stein
berger, a former agent of General
Grant, for a time figured as prime
minister. 1t is officially announced
by press dispatches from the United
States representative officer there
that the flag of Kaiser Wilhelm floats
aver the governmental town, and that
the Germans there are as earnest in
their intentions to gooble these is
lands as they were short time ago

A Fire and Its Results.

WEBSTER, Oak, April 20.-On Sat
urday a FIRE swept over the prairie in
Lynn. Lake township, taking the farm
of Mrs. Dolliger in its track. There was
only that lady and her mother at home
and both rushed out and attempted to
rescue the stock from the barn. The old
lady while engaged in trying to lead
put a horse, one end Of the roof fell in,
filing the inside with smoke, which suffo-
Gated her and she sank to the ground.
Mrs Dolliger went TO her mothers assist
ance and by almost superhuman exertions
succeeded in getting her out, but the vital
spark had fed and only the cbarred and
blackened face remained to tell the story.
Mr. Dolliger was so badly burned that
death was only a e question Of n few hours.
A span OF horses and FIVE or six head Of
cattle were burned, together with a dwell
ing and all the household effects. The
son, who was at Bristol during the fire,
returned only in time TO find his mother
dead and his sister so badly burned that
recovery was impossible and his home a
heap of charred and blackened ruins. So
great was the shock it is feared his mind
will give way. Everything help and
sympathy could suggest was done by the
neighbors to alleviate the suferings Of
Mrs. Dolliger and her almost crazy
brother.

1t is a curious fact, it may be here re-
marked, that owls in general set to work
as regards rearing a family ina strangely
dilatory manner, and never seem to lay
their Eggs and have done with the mat
ter. On the contrary, their usual plan
is to lay two eggs, hatch out the young
birds, and then lay two more, 80 that
their first-born really assist in the incu-
baton of their younger brothers and sis
ers. The eggs are always white, and
are so shaped hat there is nc large end"
or small end as there is to those Of
birds in general. The young birds are
very queer little creatures, more like
fluffy balls Of down than anything else,
and have a singular way of kissing and
wrigging about into various contortions

The meteorites that fall upon the earth
are composed chiefly of iron. Signor
Bombicci suggests an explanation OF
this. The earth is a big magnet, as
shown by the proceedings of a bar OF
steel freely suspended and accurately
balanced on its center. Bombicci's idea
is that this big terrestrial magnet, when
rushing through space containing meteo-
rio particles, exerts a seleotive attrac-
ton for those which are ferruginous.
The fact that so many masses of meto-
oric iron have been found In the arctic
regions, 20 far as it goes, supports this
theory.-Boston Budget.

One of the prime objects for which the
Spiritualist club was organized is the
development Of the different medium
phases Developing circles" are held
at regular intervals. The first phase is
ta~ble-tipping. The second phase is that
OF the simple trance; the third, clairaudi-
ence; the fourth, clairvoyance; the fifth,
the physical phase, in which the medium
is tied up; the sixth, the phase
of TRANSPORTATION, in cabinet;
the seventh, the materializing
phase; the eighth, Independent slate
writing; the ninth, dependent slate
writing, in which the mediums finger is
used instead of a pencil; the tenth, the
deviation phase, in which heavy, OBJ
