Woman's Trials.

The bitter trail in q womans life is to
be childlcss. Who can tell how hard the
struggle may have been ere she learnt to
resign herself to her lonely lot? The alb
sence of this link to bind marital life
together, the absence of this one pledge
to mutual affection is a common disap-

become estranged thereby. Even il thc

made by Edgar Speyer, the well-known

that in recent years Germany has been
making large investments abroad and
tnat in comparatively short time
$780, 100000 of German money has
been invested in foreign securities and
industries. Germany's annual income
from this enormous investment is be-

another principle Of law that man
