Women Who Do Not Read.

1t is lamentable to think how
small q portion of her time the
everyday woman of to-day sets
aside for reading, Of how little
change she makes in her monet
onous daily cares, They seem TO
be, as a class, finished just as
soon as they are married and
settle down to their daily routine
of household drudgery' They
henceforth become machines, and
worse still, gossips. In many
instances-we might say In the
majority of instances-her nina
becomes barren waste as 10
other ideas, save her domestic
duties and her bodily ailments
and those of her husband an d
children. She seldom, il ever
takes a newspaper in her han ds,
unless it is to use it in covering
her kitchen or pantry sueiVes'
AS for the many cheap and IN
structive magazines that are no W
published throughout the land
she never sees one and never
cares to; they are too expensive
for her to subscribe for, and she
would not read one of them, even
if some friend presented her with
years subscription to the best
leading journal of the day. She
becomes so mentally indolent that
her only recreation is to spend
what spare moments she has IN
gossip with a neighbor, where
she goes to hear something new,
or wishes to hear or tell some
thing startling, or to meddle IN

The only specific suggestion We have

such strict police surveillance that the
moment any crime took place Withih
them they should be closed and every
inmate held to stern account.
From a human standpoint this is as
effective plan of restriction as Is
possible under existing conditions, but
It will not be accepted by theorists or

treaty" Sir Wilfrcd is credited with
saying, must be negotiated at OF

We hope that this prophecy, whether
uttered by the Canadian premier or not
may come true. for if the -making

sire reciprocity with Canada sufficient

interests between these two kinsmcu
peoples situated side by side are the

IT is the opinion and belief of Mr.,

loyalty to his country. that the present
tariff arrangement between Canada
aud this county Is unfair TO the former,
since it facilitates tho sale of Amcri-

Under the operations of the old rcci-
procitN treaty commercial, social and
business relations between the two
countries tended to grow more and
more intimate year by year. Since the
nbiosntion of that treaty and the adj
iustmcnt of the present tariff policy of
the United states rcpcllant influences
have driven the two peoples further
and further asundcr in sympathy and
