The exodus from Canada to the United
States increases Already there are a
million of Canadians on the south of the
line. Some villages in Quebec have lost
a great part of their population. In
Ontario almost all the towns and villages
are stationary or going backward. The
American consulate in Toronto has had
little else to do during the past year than
dispatch immigrants TO the United
States. In the city 5000 houses are va
cant, and though this is partly due to
transportation in land and overbuild-
ing it is also partly due to emigration.

Toronto is the stronghold of British
sentiment and of the Canadian protec-
tionism which finds fervent love of the

A DOGS MEMORY"
How an Irisa Setter Resented the Deser-
ton of Her Master.

How an Irtsa Setter Resented the Deser-
tion of Her Master.
Belle was an Irish setter-all fine
dark brown color, with white star on
her breast. She had great, long silky
brown ears and altogether was beau
ty. Better than this, she was very know
ing. And better still she was very faith
full and affectionate. Her master seemed
to love her greatly. He always fed her
from his own hand on the daintiest of
beefsteaks and chops, and big as she was
always made her sleep on his own bed.
After years Of all this petting and cod
ding Bellies master determined to move
away and leave the dog behind. Perhaps
he hadn't talked about this in Bellies
presence. Anyhow she had not under
stood about it. and when her masters
last load Of furniture had gone. and she
was left alone in the empty house. she
seemed to think it her duty 10 guard it.
If workman whom she knew well had
not been with them, the persons who
came to clean the house for the next
corners would have had hard time of
it. For nearly four days Belle refused
to leave the house, though very hungry
and tempted with food.
Then she heard her friend Tommy
telling another man how meanly she had
been deserted. for her master was never
coming back. With her handsome head
laid upon her outstretched paws, with
ears erect and eyes attentive, Belle heard
it all She slowly rose, and without
turning TO right or left marched out ami
across the fields TO house where she mad
often been before, and there took up her
abode. Belle could not talk about il,
but words could not have said more
plainly that she now understood and re-
scented the treatment she had received.
She certainly must have understood
Tommy's words just IS person would
1t was good while before sEe recovered
her spirits and year later, when her
master passed through the place, she al

At the same time she jumped with JOY

Lodging. For Women.

The unsolved problem of woman's ex-
istence is, Where shall she Liver For
some curious and unexplained reason il
is not considered proper for woman
who earns her own living TO dwell by
herself. She must either have somebody
belonging to her or have a home with
her relations. or must keep up an estab-
lishment which is often very far beyond
her means. but which she maintains at
untold sacrifice in order to appease the
wrath of gossip which ever lies in wait
by her path.
1t is one of the most unfortunate phases
of the present day woman's life that.
while independent as far as ability to
earn her own living is concerned, she is
handicapped by a dread of Mrs. Grundy
and her dear 500 friends. The problem
of living was probably the first thing
that drove the American woman into
business. She wanted home and the
privilege of living in it unmolested and
comfortable and set herself about to earn
the wherewithal TO provide it, but hav-
ing done this she finds that she has added

perceptibly tightening them in others.
As a matter of fact, she has assumed a
mans responsibilities, but has not taken
on with them any appreciable amount of
individual independence as far as a home
is concerned.
The problem in the largest cities is
somewhat difficult to solve owing to the
exceedingly high price of real estate
Rents are of course high, and any sort of
apartment is expensive. Business wom-
en- are waiting with no little anxiety for
the apartment houses that were promised
as the result of some club meetings of a
year or so ago. The need of them is 30
imperative that it is to be hoped that we
may soon see something more than news

Literary Notes.

Blue aud Gray for August is called a
midsummer fiction number, ana this title
is well borne out By several novelties of
unusual merit. "Battle Bonds, by David
Lowry, is weil-written tale OF the Ten
nessee Mountains, containing some ex-
Qulsite descriptions and good dialect
Mrs. Louisa Howard Bruce contributes
one Of her Characteristic sketches, "A Sol
dier's Wedding. Unto which love aud war
fare are skilfully interviewer. Gan Ar
rested Bullet by H. NJ. Hoke, is a weird
story Of the Devils Den, and a bullet
which reached Its mark after many years.
"Elisba's Blessing" By Emma WilmOnt,
is touching story Of love, devotion and
warfare SO well told as to leave a lasting
impression. Aside from the fiction, the
most notable paper is Gettysburg and
the Trolley, by Gen. Chas III II. Coils,
which is sure to attract considerable COM
ment. Louis Goddu tellsin cbatty style,
a true story Of the serious and iudicrous
experiences OF "a New Recruit" BE
lelguered Petersburg" by Col w H Stew
art, of the 6lst Virginia, brings out some
interesting inside history. Mr. Frank p
OiBrien, OF the Birmingham Age Herald,
makes his debut in Blue and Gray with
the story of the capture and restoration OF
the flag OF the 18th Connecticut regiment.
The Battle OF Port Royal Is described
by Robert Chisolm, Esq. The patriotic
Youths DEPARTMENTS unusually interest
ing and cannot fail of its purpose to ele
gate young people to a sense ofpatriotlsm.
The poetry Is fair and the illustrations
