"A new process for burning coal with

A remarkable feature of the East
Indian trade is the large number OF
umbrellas imported. Last year the total
received In Calcutta alone was 1891, ,745.
This was by far the largest import re-
corded for any one year, and it is not
surprising to hear that the trade was
somewhat overdone, and a consequent
glut resulted. The United Kingdom has
virtually monopoly of the business.
The yearly manufacture Of -four in
the United States is about rs, 200, 600
barrels, of which 50, 600, 600 are required
for domestic consumption and 10, 600, 600
to 100000 barrels for export. This
estimate for home consumption is in ac-
cordance with the basis which for many
years has been found an approximately
correct one-that of one barrel of -four,
on an average, to each Individual of the
population.

THE GRImALDI FAMILY.
One of the Oldest and Richest Of Europe
Princely Houses.

One of the Oldest and Richest of Europe's
Princely Houses.
The Grimaldi family, from which the
rulers over Monaco have sprung, is an
cient and distinguished. Several foolish
statements are current about the origin
of the Grimaldis. The authority for these
fables is Charles de Venasque, secretary
to Honore IL, the first ruler who as
sumed the title of Prince of Monaco
after it had been ascribed to him, proba-
bly, through error, in the official report
of the French General who, in 1916, re-
captured the Lerins Islands. Charles
de Venasque drew up pedigree of the
family to which his master belonged,
and he may have thought that Honore
II. would be gratified by being assured
that he had distinguished ancestor liV-
ing in 712, and another who was Lord of
Monaco in the tenth century. These
particulars have been printed, and have
been reproduced as authentic. Indeed,
a genealogical fiction has a tenacious
life. A long and illustrious pedigree is
possession which once acquired is not
easily renounced, every member of the
sonal interest and natural pride in cher
ishing it. Thus, when M. Henri Metz
vier-who was tutor, we believe, to the
late Prince of Monaco-wrote the large
and able work on ''Monaco and its
Princes, which appeared in 1866, he in
corporated into it the family fables
which Charles de Venasque fabricated
or copied in 1647. The facts relating to
the origin of the Grima1dis and to their
careers as sovereign Princes of Monaco
do not require any coloring or varnish
either to attract the student of history
or to fascinate the reader who likes to
be diverted or thrilled. There is no
lack of amusing particulars in the his
tory of Monaco; some of the incidents in
it are as tragic as any with which Shakes
peare has dealt.-Quarterly Review.

So young and sweet and shy
She bushes like the roses
When a sunbeam daT ees by

It seems as if I'd happened
On violet in tears.
But a smile her tears will Danish,
And her skies be blue again,

TIE WOMAN OF TIE FUTURE.
She VIII BeloB. to Combinations to Raise
tho Price OF Her Labor.

She VIII belong to Combinations to Raise
tho Price OF Her Labor.
Combination among skilled women
workers, says tho English Illustrated Mdga.
zine, is increasing every day, though
slowly, for women IRE naturally conser.
yative, and they do not readily accept
the principle Of unionisln. They have,
many Of them, suffered sorcly from the
effect OF strikes, and though they realize
that prolonged combination, ii carried
out consistently, must improve their
position and In the long run raise their
wages, never lose sight OF the long period
during which their employment must
cease till their ultimate demands are con.
coded. Added to which they do not
forget the bitter feelings aroused-the
breach between employer and servant,
and above all, that in atruggle such as
long strike must always be it is only
the strong who win; the weak ones go to
the wall.
All these things make woman shy
and slow to join trade union, while the
introduction Of foreign labor in England
and the increasing demand on account OF
their cheapness, for foreign goods have
made much deeper impression on their
minds than is generally admitted. The
skilled woman worker has, however,
the security Of knowing that she can
take up her stand with greater chance
Of success, for with the best women
workers, as with the men, the supply
is rarely in excess Of the demand. And
were technical instruction given to
women a good deal Of the better class
work they cannot do would he carried
out in England, instead Of being e1ecu-
ted by French women, who are trained
for il in many technical schools which
exist for women in France.
In Scotland tho question has been
warmly espoused by the women who
work in Glasgow aud Dundee, and the
prospect OF combining for the unskilled
as well as the skilled workers is very
much more promising than in England.
Scotch women are more independent
and selt.reliant, added to which, though
the pay is bad, their surroundings are
less deteriorating than those Of the Lon
don women, and their dwellings are
better and rents are lower.
The rapid increase OF the population
and the influx OF people from the country
to the large towns makes the problem
Of how to deal with our unskilled fen ale
labor every year more difficult. The
education hitherto given to women in
England is purely intellectual, and when
a girl has passed the standard she at
once goes into the ranks OF the unskilled.
II she can give time she may be appren-
ticed and learn trade, but the number
OF girls who can afford to do that is get
Ting lever every day. The few shillings
girl can earn at once is too important
an addition to the family income to be
rejected, and as the majority Of them
marry while practically children, neither
the necessity OF being appreniiced nor
OF joining union appeals to them.
