men should do to you, do ye also to

The scarcity of servant girls, accord

greatly troubling women in almost
every city in Canada, and the matter
reached such stage a short time ago
that a meeting of Toronto women was
held in that city to discuss ways and
means for supplying the deficiency. At
the meeting the discussion turned prin-
cipally on the reported sufficiency of
negro girls at Barbados in the West
Indies who might make good Canadian
servants if a way could be devised to
induce enough of them to desert their
native country for the colder climate
of Canada. No definite action was taken
at the meeting, an adjournment being
proposed to allow further consideration
of the project from financial point of
view.-New York Sun.

Germanys long continued period of
industrial depression shows no signs Of
speedily coming to an end. The United
States retains its lead in German trade,
and all attempts to lead the people to
withdraw their patronage from the for
eigners have failed. The Prussian min
lister of commerce and industry has this
to say on one phase of the depression:
THE simple fact is that during the
second half of the last sade we, in
our venturesome enterprise, undertook
too much. We created so many fresh
obligations that the savings of the
country have not been sufficient to pay
for them. These new obligations
amounted to between 5000 900 900 and
$500 GOO OCO or even to 6 greater
amount, and time is needed for adjust
