growth at heart to provide the where.
withal for development There is
something very touching and beautl-
ful In seeing an intellectual woman
OF real ability eagerly interested in
the rudiments for the sake OF her
little child, says the New York
Tribune. At an al fresco tea In the
Berkshlres not long ago n well. known

"You can make lovely experiment

by way Of illustration, "by suspend

Is British Trade Prospering.

In an article under this head the
London Spectator thus sums up the
situation: There seems TO us TO be,
on the whole, little Justification for
either optimism or pessimism as re-
CARDS trade prospects. The nation
i d0ino great trade-greater than.
with sma ~guUns, X has -
done before-but not so great In pro
portion TO It's rapidly increasing popu.
lation. There is an immed late pros.
pect OF still further decline In the
yield OF our agriculture, and as yet
no immediate prospect OF a compen.
sating rise in the producing powers
OF manufacture and trade. Still,
such prospects are never visible from
afar, and they may appear at any
moment. There Is no excuse for pes.
simism, but there is not much for
optimism, for any optimism at least
would render us inseusible TO the
duty OF prudence, OF forbearance, Of
moderation In treating the d fculties
between class aud class. In the
meantime We can rejoice that the
laboring class Is securing more Of its
due than IL has ever yet secured, and
yet for the present the pinch falls
upon those classes which are not
without resources. though their re.
sources are rapidly dwindling In
their hands"
