Reforming . Tramp.

The experiment Of reforming q
tramp was lately tried at Indianapolis.
One of the species applied at doc
tors house for help. The woman Of the
house refused him aid unless he
worked. He consented to do anything,
and she took him to the kitchen, where
he was set to work doing the weeks
washing. He staggered bit a: first.
but manfully overcame his natura!
aversion to water and work. This so
impressed the doctor that q situstion
at nine dollars per week was secured
for him. The first weeks wages ives
lost from hole In his pocket, but out
of the second weeks pay he returned
money loaned to tide him over. The
experiment promises so much success
that II Is doubted II tho good people
have secured genuine specimea.

ENGLISH WOMEN MIGRATE.
Thousands and Thousands Flock to the


.4.ls5 CUiOntoe.
The emigretion Of capable women TO
the colonies is one of the subjects that
should command special attention at
the present time, says an English
writer in the Queen. The last census,
the returns of which are now being
published, demonstrates the astound-
ing and not very satisfactory circum-
stance that there are in the United
Kingdom of Great Britain aud Ireland
six hundred thousand more females
than males in the present population
of these islands.
The existence of vast number of
unmarried women in the community ia
therefore inevitable, and it follows
that they must, except in those COM
paratively few instances in which they
have private means of their own,
either be dependent for support on
their relatives and friends. be cana
BILE of earning their own living, or en-
igrate-
The first of these three classes does
not demand our special consideration,
1t is true that the condition of life of
a woman dependent for support on her
relatives is not always satisfactory,
and there is usually some sphere of
usefulness that may be occupied so
that the dependent can be changed for
an independent condition, but that this
should be done satisfactorily some
special training is almost absolutely
necessary.
In the present days of competition
for employment, it is useless for girl
however well educated, to seek for
work, saying: II am willing to do
anything" The question is: What
can you do? 1t does not follow that
because woman has been well edu-
Gated herself, that she can instruct
Others She may be good musician
and most incapable teacher, a fair
linguist, but bad tutor, a skilled
needlewoman, yet utterly untitled to
take class of girls or young women
in shirt or dressmaking. Training in
every occupation is nowadays abso-
lutely necessary; without 1t the edu-
Gated women can only hope to become
a lady-help, and even that pursuit can
not be satisfactorily performed with
out knowledge of cookery and other
household duties that is not possessed
by every girl, nor, perhaps, even by
the majority.
There, remains, however, in almost
all cases the emigration to the colonies,
in which capable women willing and
able to work are always sure of find
ing remunerative employment. But
for woman with no knowledge of
household duties, with no ability to
fulfill useful sphere of labor, the
colonies are not to be thought of. For
a girl who relies merely on her femi-
nine attractions, and emigrates in
search of husband, the prospect is
the worst that can be imagined.

For the Protection OF Birds.

According to the Lanterne, as
quoted by the London Standards
Paris correspondent, a congress of a
novel description is shortly to be held
in Paris All over the continent it
seems that the wholesale destruction
of the small insect-eating birds. by
nests, traps, and birds'-nesting, has
done great damage to agriculture, and
especially in orchards and vineyards.
Therefore, the minister for foreign
affairs, at the solicitation of leading
agriculturalists, has entered into ne
gotiations for the meeting of an inter
national congress to devise measures
for the protection of insectivorous
birds. Switzerland, Spain, Sweden,
the Netherlands, Belgium. Russia,
Roumania, and Greece have expressed
their willingness to attend. Germany,
Austria, Hungary and Italy have inti-
mated that they are bound by inter
national treaties for the protection of
birds, but that if the new scheme did
