duties, non-interserence in personal mat
ters and non-expectation OF any more
personal interest than exists between any
other classes of employees and employers.
Finally to cultivate yearly engagements,
since when people know that they must
put up with each other for twelve months,
they are more inclined to be patient and
forbearing, and these in turn lead to trust
and liking.
We cannot agree with Mrs. Barr abso-
Iutely upon these three propositions.
which, while possessing merit, must
each be subject to notifications due to
the intimate relation of the domestic to
the household. First, that strictly COM
mercial basis of employment is impossi-
Die where the employe resides in the
family and exercises an influence upon
its members. Second, that strict non
interference in personal matters is i'm
possible, because the character of the
household is affected by the personal
habits, behavior and associates of the
servant. Third, that yearly engagements
are rarely possible in this country, since
enforced service and enforced employ
ment, where there develops incompe-
tence or dislike are more deplorable than
frequent changes and sudden discharges.

In modified forms, obvious to all, would,

MONA CARD in the Nintee1ath Century,,
while contending for recognition of the
equality in all social relations of women
with men, and for perfect respect for indi-
vidual rights regardless of sex, admits
all that the RECoRD-UNIoN has contended
for in its protest against the drift of
women into business and away from
domesticity. She declares unequivocally
that SIT is easy to see the frightful peril to
the well-being Of the race that lies in the
labor of women outside the home; that
peril can scarcely be exaggerated" But,
she asks, by what right does society deny
to woman the natural right to share all
opportunities the world offers; the right
to be independent and to go as she pleases
and come when she may, in vocation !?
We answer that whatever is applied to
keep her from out the drift against which
reason protests, is justified by the very
peril which the essayist terms frightful,
and declares can scarcely be exaggerated
There is also the right to protect the well
being of the race as well as the human
right to be individual; before the former
the latter must give way.

LIMITATIONS IN HEALING.

DR.. Nothnagel, the distinguished Ger
man physician and scientist, in a recent
lecture upon the limitations of the heal
ing art, in which he points out that men
overrate the potentiality of the physi-
clans art, and esteem it equal to the re-
moval of the ills while the causes remain,
! tells the public some sound truths. For
! instance, that drinkers must not expect
to withstand assaults upon the lungs by
disease as well as those who are tenn
! perate; that bronchial catarrh that con-
tinues stationary is very likely, despite
the physician, to draw the lungs into the
| trouble; that no treatment can relieve the
smoker from his throat catarrh so long
as he persists in his habit; that in the
larger number of physical ills, the
various diseases of the blood, metabolic
arrangements and the inexhaustible
multitude of disorders of the nervous
system, to this time have furnished no
more opportunities for a real cure than
| the soil of Alaska for the successful culti-
walton of the date palm.
Among all infectious diseases, he names
but three in which medicine can induce
cure by direct influence upon the patho-
logical processes. And all other infec-
tions when they have become outbroken
and developed illness can not to this day
bn IIlrni in tho in 1x-I,i
uses that word. Indeed. he wishes peo-
pie to understand that ''a diseased condi-
ton is susceptible of cure only so long as
it is attacked while still advancing; as
soon as it has reached a definite cuimina-
tlon-no more, for there then remain de-
formation, atrophies, hypertrophies and
| other resultants of most various kinds"
He adds, that real healing, the restora-
| ton to their normal state of functions,
and tissues that have been changed by
disease, is brought about in it's essentials
| only through the life processes in the or
ganism. 1t will never be possible to re-
form lost cells, or to cause separated ones
| to grow together again; the physician can
operate upon and cause changes inspar-
ticular cells, but the restoration from the
diseased condition, in the true sense,
must come to pass through the organism
itself. All which is to say, that thus far
the doctor is only the servant of nature,
not the master. He can, however, follow
nature with diligent observation, and
this fact covers and gives the key to the
success of really great physicians, says
| DR.. Nothnagel.
| But while the healing art is so limited,
the distinguished physician finds an i'm
mense field for the doctor, that is one of
real progress, in treating symptoms, an
extraordinarily important work, one
scarcely to be overrated. Here there is a
field for wonderful progress; one in
which medicine is advancing greatly.

BELGIUM is about to amend her Con-
stitution after sixty years of trial. It is
proposed to increase the number of elect
ors, to give the crown authority to ascer-
tain the will of the people by vote upon
questions of proposed legislation, or upon
laws not yet promulgated. These latter
plans meet with strong opposition from
the statesmen, lawyers and leading writ
ers of the kingdom, who believe a Royal
Referendum to be foreign to and incom-
patable with a constitutional monarchy.
To the American mind the propositions of
the Government signify relaxation of
monarchical restrain and something more
of momentum in the movement towards
popular government. Democracy, %
says the Reuue des DeuI Mondes, sis
marching forward to the conquest of the
world" Certainly these innovations
proposed by the crown to the Belgian
Chambers are concessions to the princi-
pie that government ought to arise out OF
