A Possibility.

Girls are so much more clever as clerks than men that the male clerk is doomed to extinction like the dodo. The results are disastrous both to women and to men.
 Every observer in cities must see that nearly all classes of clerical work are passing rapidly into the hands of young women. These young women enter the offices with slillful fingers, winning manners, industrious ways and general aptness to write letters, keep books, count cash and discharge the multitudinous du- ties attaching to business life. They do their work satisfactorily and well.
 Taken altogether they are heater, bet ter behaved and quicker than young men. The resalt is that these bright young fel- lows, capable of doing excellent work, are forced to toll for long hours, often at night, for the munifcent salary of $15 month. After two or three years of hard and faithful service promotion to the $25 month class is possible, while $35 to $50 is the outside figure to which clerk may aspire if he exhibits special qualifications and sustained devotion to his task
 If the next 20 years witness the same relative increase in the number of work ing girls and women as has taken place since 1870 in this country and the United States, we shall see young men doing the homework and their sisters and mothers carrying on half the business of the land.-Canadian Magazine.

JapAn's Land Tax.

The land tax Is continual grievance in Japan. In Mitford's "Tales of Old Japan" is related the story of Sakura, who met his death in the seventeenth century by his resolution in bringing be- fore the shogun in person the grievances of his fellow agriculturists, oppressed by their feudal lord. Unable to obtain re- dress from any subordinate authority, he concealed himself beneath a bridge over which the shogun's procession must inevitably pass, and climbing out at the crucial moment thrust his memorial at the end of a bamboo stick into the die tator's litter. This was a capital offense, and even handed justice punished the oppressors, but executed the complain. ant.
 An Englishman travelling lately in the part of the country inhabited by this Japanese tribune found his tomb and q temple erected to his memory, which has been highly honored of late years. The visitor pointed out that Sakura had been crucified for complaining of the rent "Yes," said the malcUntent farmers, "but the rent was decreased. They don't cruelty us now, but they don't lower the tax" Everything continues the ob- server, twas the fault of the government If 1t rained, if the dams burst, if there was blight. It was all in consequence of land tax."-Nineteenth Century.

Of the book it nay be said, eaving only the Bible, it has been translated oftener and into more languages than any other. A recent Spanish editor, Don Lopez de Fabra, enumerates 150 editions of the Spanish masterpiece in foreign languages. That computation is cer- tainly short of the truth.
 Not only are there more translations in English of "Don Quixote" than in any other language, but it is England which from the first has done more honor to the authors work than any other country. The first critical edition of "Don Quixote" in Spanish, with the first life of Cervantes by Mayans y Siscar, was published ,p LJndcn in i78S, more than 40 years before the Spaniards had aroused themselves to do honor to their greatest writer.
 This edition, in four handsome vol tunes, was printed sumptuously in all the glory of the Tonson press, under the auspices of Lord Carteret, at an age when "Don Quixote" was still appearing in his native country on filthy ballad paper in execrable type, uncorrected and unadorned. That which is perhaps still the best annotated edition of "Don Quix- ote" in Spanish was the work of the learned and painful John Bowie, canon of Salisbury, which appeared in 17si. It Is said to have been the rumor of this undertaking, in which Bowie spent IA years of his life, which made the Span ish academy hurry with their great edi ton of l7S0.-Notes and Queries.
