the excess of females over males through
out England and Wales was 71S, 600; in 81
it had risen to 901, 900, being an increase
in ten years of 1873, 600. Do these facts
afford no food for reflection to our politi-
cal economists and sociologists? Nay, may
not politicians and moralists read, mark,
learn, and carefully digest them? Is the
burden of the support of this great and
ever increasing body of English women to
be thrown upon the shoulders of the com
paratively decreasing men, OF shall women
be permitted to support themselves in any
occupation for which they are competent?
These are the questions which must be
decided-and quickly, too-in favour of
sexual equality or the abolition of sex
privileges, unless we are blindly deter
mined to increase the decentralization of
our women and the consequent deterioIa-
ton of our race. Even India, in some
respects, is more liberal than England, for
, we have just read that a lady had been
admitted to practice in one of it's Law
| Courts as Barrister, and to the genera
surprise, she pleaded as well and exhibit
| ed as much legal acum en- and forensic
eloquence as any of her bewigged breth-
| rem.
Mulhall remarks, ''If we compare the
total number of persons for all occupa-
J tons in 1881 with that in 1851, we find an
increase OF Is per cent. in the men, and
81 per cent, in the women,' and we have
| every reason to believe that the difference
for 81 will be found to be still greater.
! We have shown in a previous article that
the women workers nearly equal the men
workers. The natural consequence is
I that the occupations open to women are
overdue with candidates for work.
! Scores of thousands of those who can
obtain employment are miserably ''sweat-
| ed, - while the more fortunate are usually
undergrad. Is there no remedy for all
this? 1t would seem that in polygamous
countries only are women really cared for,
and if monogamy and subsection of the
sex are to continue together, it may be
| that to give woman "her proper sphere, -
we shall have TO revert to the polygamous
habits of our British ancestors. Is this
the aim of our pretentious moralists? Is
this whittier Professionalism, the free Bible,
free trade, free labour, and free de-
bauchery. are to land us? Perhaps so
\ Who can tell? If women must continue
to be degraded, better that il should be il
the harem of one man to whom she car
be vlrtuous and true, and by whom she
will be comfortably provided with reason
able requirements, than that she should
stalve in lonely garnet or pace the streets
with fallen sistelhood. And possibly
before the coming of the next 90, the
windows of Mayfair and Belgravia anc
other wealthy quarters, will be less trans
parent than now, and voluptuous womer
of rare beauty will be seen furtively glanc.
ing upon the outer world until the ex-
ample thus set by rank and fashion become

Equine Jealousy.
A Horse Deeply Offended Because His
Mistress Noticed Another.

Mistress Noticed Another.
In boarding stable in New York there
is horse whose name is Tatters, says the
Observer Of that city. He is the pet of
Mrs. D., who owns and drives him. She
always gives him an apple or carrot be-
fore starting on drive and another on
returning, the latter being given after the
bride has been removed, and he has
learned to wait patiently for the dainty
until that time.
On the same floor of the stable is Mr..
b. S horse Phil. Mrs. d. used frequently
to give an apple to Phil after giving one
to Tatters. The latter would manifest
displeasure at this in a mild way, but his
demonstrations never went beyond the
shaking of his head and the laying back
of his ears.
But one evening while Tatters, who
had just come in, was waiting for the re-
moval of his Bride, Phil, who was ahead
of him, was the recipient of an apple
from Mrs. d. hand as she stood talking
to Mr.. B.
A moment later the groom had removed
Tatters' bride, and at once his mistress
offered him an apple. He turned his head
away and refused to touch the fruit. Mrs.
D. followed him into his stall and tried
TO coax him, but ne began munchlng his
hay and would not look at her.
Then Mr.. B., and after him the groom,
tried to induce Tatters to take the apple,
but to no purpose; he was hurt because
his mistress had given an apple to Phil
before giving one to him, and he would
not forgive her affront.
His owners feelings were much like
those of the horse, and she left the stable
with tears in her eyes. Before starting
out the next day she had friend give {
carrot instead Of an apple to Tatters, il
the hope that if he had forgotten the I'M
intended atfront the carrot might breal
the association with the apple.
He took the carrot eagerly. Then h,
took one from his mistress hands, ant
you may be sure she has never since the1
given apple OF carrot to another horse
while Tatters was in sight.

Giads tone is Dead.
HAwAEDEN, May 49, Mr.. Gladstone
died at ) O clock this morning.

Gladstone is dead
And the heart of the world is stiled at
the news.
After :. prolonged struggle for life, the
wonderful old man has gone at last, full
of years and rich in honors.
The rugged, virile sturdy frame of
Englands great premier and Ireland $
warm friend broke down soon after the
famous Midlothian campaign, when he
began TO show the effects of his extreme
! age in a general teebleness of body, and
for years the health of the ''grand old
man" has been a source of uneasiness to
his friends.
The tremendous exertions he put forth
in the Midlothian campaign told severely
upon him, and the excessive burden of
his after political work pressed him sore
ly beyond his strength. The nervous ten
sion he went through in that campaign,
and since then in his manipulation of q
thousand and one parliamentary difficult
ties consequent upon his esponsal of the
Irish cause, greatly aggravated the
physical and mental strain upon a man of
his advanced age.
After the Midlothian campaign he
hurried off to the Highlands with a view
OF bracing his nerves, and he has gone to
and fro between Hawarden and the CONT
nent since in the hope of finding relief
from his intense sutferings.
But all in vain. 1t has only been
question of time when the body would
give way.
Almost until the last he worked, with
almost supernatural energy, and rapidity.
He performed tasks, he formulated
plans, he made speeches, he travelled con
ST 10 b1n
ence, he read all the best current litera-
ture, he wrote political and theological
essays, he outlined ministerial bills, he
conducted great campaigns, he controlled
cabinets, he directed ministries, and yet
he found time to enjoy life.
But now Gladstone has gone His
masterful voice will be heard no none,
and his political conflicts and ambi-
tons have been snapped by the hand of
death. [John Collier in the Boston
Globe.

Song and Life.

BY REV. CHAs. HENRY WELLS.
Once a little child lay pining
On a dreary bed of pain;
For the sun had not been shining
Since the falling of the rain
But robin midst the flowers
In the orchard sung his lay,
And the moaning, dreary hours
Soon were changed to shining day.
Once child of God was SHINING
In city far from friends;
Young and fair and just beginning
On the course that downward tends.
But song from memory's treasure,
Sung by mother long ago,
Turned him from his low born pleasure
Saved him, kept him white as snow.
Once child of God lay dying
AT the setting of the sun;
Old and lonely, death defying,
Waiting, all her duties done.
And a song, the sweet old story,
Sung by seraphs' voices fair,
Changed earth gloom to heaven-glory,
Bore her smiling over There.

of The New York Evening Post, The

spondent, none of whom were permit
ted by General BlancO to land, the
governor general considering their ar

here before the arrival of the Ameri-

How Europeans Look at Us.

London, August 19.-The Vienna cor
respondent Of The Times says: The
development of the Philippines ques-
ton will be watched here with the
keenest interest. Circumstances appear
to point to the retention of the islands
by America. The fact that Senator
Davis, who is a public advocate of
complete annexation, and Secretary of
State Day, a supporter of the Hawa-
nan policy, are appointed commission
ers, is regarded as indicating that
President Mckinley favors their re-
tention. It is acknowledged that
President Mckinley has hitherto man.
ifested exceptional diplomatic tact in
his treatment both of the Spanish gov
ernment and Of public opinion in the
United States. He conducted the ne
gotiations with such foresight and con-
sideration that the Madrid cabinet has
been able gradually to accuStom the
population to the inevitable sacrifices
imposed by the outcome of the war.
The papers generally expect that
Russia's attitude will prove an i'm
portant factor in the situation. The
German press has raised the bOgie of
Intervention talk and of the United
States sounding the European powers
on the question of annexation. Nothing
is known here OF any Such feelerS ana
it may be taken as granted that the
United States has done and will do
nothing of the kind. America has al
ready given indications that she would
unhesitatingly resent interference
without waiting to count the cost. 1t
is recognized that the American is a
very different sort of man from the
Turk for example, and might, if an
attempt were made to intimidate, sud-
denly transfer the conflict from the
diplomatic sphere to one in which it
would be extremely difficult to main
tain either a concert of the powers or
an East Asian dreibund.
Moreover, any such interference
would only hasten an Anglo-American
alliance, which the powers are anxious
to prevent, besides giving the United
States Japanese sympathy. Therefore,
it is probable that the powers, dis
tracted by mutual jealousies, will hes
itate to come to an open breach with
what The Fremdenblatt describes as
"a gigantic world power whose con-
sciousness of innate strength is i'm
mensely increased by it's present vic
tory"

Gently been in poor health. In addition
to this, it is reported that he had lost
