SUGAR IN FRANCE.

Tue French have given them an illus tration of the absurdities of protection which has, perhaps, it's parallel in this country, but which IS producing some feeling in France, and is likely to lead to inquiries in the chamber of deputies. The making of sugar from beet root is a highly protected French industry, and the refiners, ,.moreover, receive a bounty on exported sugar. The price of refined sugar in London, where considerable French refined sugar is sold, is from three to four cents per pound, while the same article sells in Paris at about twelve cents per pound, the latter price representing in part what the French consumers have to pay for the privilege of permitting few of their countrymen to make sugar and sell it to the English.

VULGARIANISM AND WOMAN.
 HOOD.

Under the above heading we find some truly refreshing comments in the Phil idelphia Times upon the disrepute being brought upon American women by the increasing disposition on the part of some of them to sell themselves in mar riage to foreign suitors for an assured position in foreign society, or, perhaps, the right to wear title conferred by foreign husband. It is a matter of bar gain, in which the essential requisite on the side of the woman is wealth, with sometimes the boon of beauty thrown in. Nothing is quite so disgustngly degrad ing in all our social relations as is this. The Times truly says of such proceed ings:
 They prostitute women to the level of the pork or mule market, and stamp upon her the indelible mark of the vul- garian. The prostitution of American womanhood to the glitter of foreign titles has become so dishonoring to true womanhood that the home of every American girl should have the plainest warning against the madness of this shameful traffic. No considerations of delicacy should conceal the painful truth from American womanhood, the American girls should DC taught from the mothers lap, from honest society, from the prass, from the pulpit, indeed, from every surrounding, that neither at home nor abroad is there any true nobility but that of merit, and that the now accepted vocation of the American vulgarian leads only to sorrow and shame.

The parish of each missionary in foreign lands includes 275, 900 souls.
 Connecticut has one in every 549 of her population a college student.
 -Thibet, Afghanistan, Turkestan and Abyssinia are practically closed to the gospel at the present time.
 According to Rev. c. Beard, of Dedham, Mass, the Unitarian explorers have found a great deal of ''unortho- doxy" in Connecticut, but unfortunate ly most of it leans towards Spiritual ism.''
 Missions in Siam are being placed upon strong financial foundation Gifts to the amount of several hundred thousand dollars have been recently made by the King and others, for schools and other missionary work. Siam is called the garden of the East.
 The Japanese Government has re- moved the tax from Christian churches, thus placing them on the same basis as Shinto and Buddhist temples. Though faith in the old religion is declining in Japan, yet there are still more than 25o, 900 Buddhist priests in the Empire.

 number of persons confirmed in Eng land was under 13S,0 ,00O, while for 1888 the corresponding total was over 217,- GOO; an increase in thirteen years of nearly ffty-eight per cent, which is all most four times as great as the growth of the population,
 The influence of religion is quiet and gets little advertising, but it is potent. It is said saloon is the first thing essential in a new town. But it is not so; the first thing necessary in new residence suburb is church, the next school; with these people can be attracted to dwell there and start up a little social circle.-Exchange
 -Librarianship is the new profession, and an attractive one it is in many ways. A school for training in this direction is successfully operated in Albany under the supervision of Columbia College re- gents, and nineteen young men and women, chiefly college graduates, are there fitting themselves to take entire charge of the State and public libraries which can use their trained services. The anecdote is told of Rev. MT. Kidd, a Scotch minister who was very eccentric, and had his own way of doing things. "Just as the year was opening," says one of his parishioners, "I was very busy in my shop, when, right in the midst of my work, in stepped the parson. Did you expect me?' was his abrupt in- quiry. without ever giving or waiting for salutation. No, sir, was my re- ply, T did not What if I had been death?' he asked in solemn, earnest tone, and out he stepped, as suddenly as he had come, and was gone almost be- fore knew it."
 Rev. Dr. Lyman Abbott touches a tender spot when he proffers the follow ing advice: "Use your Bible. think there are some persons who imagine that there is a sacred quality in family Bible lying on the center table, and who have the same sort of regard for the book that lies there that some other people have for the value of horseshoe nailed over the door: and the one is as good as the other. The Bible that is unopened is at best of value only as l respectful profession that you are not exactly an infidel. The Bible that is to lay hold on you is a Bible that you may lay hold upon.''

THE United States senatorial barber seems to be a fixture. The senators have lately been hunting about the capi- tol for more committee rooms, and one of the unkempt members suggested that the barber shop be abolished, but he was laughed to scorn by his colleagues. The senatorial barber shop is kept open twelve months in year, and every senator is shaved and shorn at the pub lie expense while he is in Washing ton. The barber will remain, but the supreme court will probably have to go.
