learn that practical steps are about
to be taken by the authorities to pro-
mote the emigration to the colonies of
French women. A year or two ago this
matter was the object of private initia-
tive, but the results of a number of pub
lie meetings and an energetic newspa-
per campaign seem to have been wholly
negative. The French colonist contin-
ues to complain that it, is almost i'm
possible for him to find wife of his
own race unless he makes the Journey
home for the purpose, an expedient
that is often impracticable for colonists
OF the poorer class. This state of things
has more especially attracted the at
tention of Gen. Gallieni in Madagascar,
and the contemplated action of the gov
eminent is largely due, 1 understand,
to his urgent representations.
The projected scheme is to take the
shape of central emigration office for
women, to be installed in Paris un-
der the auspices of the ministry of
the colonies. This central institution
will open a number IF branch offices
throughout the country in the agri-
cultural districts as well as in the
towns. In this way an effort will be
made to bring home the beauties of
emigration and the eligibility of
colonial husbands to suitable young
women. Something more will be done
for them, however, than to give them
well-meant, if not quite disinterested,
advice. Approved candidates for ex-
patriation will be provided with a,trous-
seau and with a small sum of money
to enable them to live for time after
The state is also to give them
free passage, and will aid them to

money. To begin with, an annual ex-
penditure is contemplated of 100, OoOf.
