In recent issue of the Signal,

from the Press dispatches, indicate
that his suggestion did not fall on

go out at once with her mother and sis

sphere of usefulness. Another wrote to
the colonial Office authorities in behalf
OF herself and few other "first-cass

Office authorities are doing their utmost
to discourage applications from women
other than those who are self dependent,
and girls OF the servant type are urgently
advised not TO go at all

aud why not? What class of women
in Africa or any other country, are
better qualified for decent self sup

knowledge of the requirements nee

very far back in the history of our
own country to the time when the
grandmothers aud mothers of today
performed household duties for hire
and then graduated TO homes of their
own, and laid the foundation of a
social and domestic fabric so nearly
perfect that subsequent attempts at

and express service, and are ALWAYS
ready to give good reason why they
do so While under existing condi-
tons railway company is in posi-
ton to arbitrarily dictate terms, as to
transportation over their lines, it is
sometimes palliation of the iuius-
tice inflicted to have it done in very
gentlemanly manner. Let railway
companies attach instructions to
agents to get full compensation for
all services, but do it in such man
ner, that the victim will remember

THOMAS HARDY AND GHOSTS

A real conversation" is recorded be- tween MT Thomas Hardy and MT. Will liam Archer on the subject of ghosts. Wher MT Hardy was a young man, it appears, he would willingly have given ten years of his life to see a good authentic ghost. But though he lives in a Roman graveyard he has, never had his desire. Mir. Hardys mother, however, was certain that she once saw an apparatlon. A relative of hers, said MT. Hardy, who had a young child, was i'll, and told my mother she thought she was dying. My mother laughed at the idea and as a matter of fact she apparently recovered, and went away to her home at some distance. Then one night-lying broad awake, as she declared-my mother saw this lady enter her room and hold out the child to her imploringly. It afterwards ap- peared, I need scarcely tell you, that she died at that very time; but the odd thing was that, while she was sinking, she continually expressed a wish that my mother should take charge of the child.-Pall Mall Gazette.

 NO FIRE.-Quite number of people saw the hose wagon rush hurriedly down the street yesterday afternoon and took 1t for granted there was a fire somewhere. The hose wagon is also used by the police department for a patro! wagon and the excitement was simply a rush order from Five Points for the transportation of a load of drunken Mexicans.

The new rig loo feet high will be in place in few days and an eight inch pipe will be placed in the hole. This will equip the operators for work at great depth should the oil be in- clined to keep crawling back further into its hole.
