Planning on Canadian Experience

our Canadian experience" said the
comptroller of foreign mails at the
st. Martins lie Grand postofflce this
morning" In 1907 we received from
the United States nearly $4,000, 900
letters, we sending to the United
States about 100000 less. This
represented gain of more than II
pier cent. above the previous year on
the part of the United States and a
gain of about 4 per cent. on our part.
If such was the case with the old
postage rate 1t ought to be very
much greater with the new rate.

a gain of so per cent. during the

ABUSED STEPMOTHERS
ARE OFTEN HEROINES
The World Is Full Of Women Whose Devotion to Their Husbands
Children Should Be a Silent Plea in Their Defense.
BY MADAME ALTA.

- o matter what the cTcumSances may be, a stepnothers life is not
- very pleasant. Not long ago I heard of a charming woman, brought
A = up in a gentle home, who married a widower with two children son
and daughter, both old enough to have common sense. Yet they resented thu
fathers second marriage, and, in spite Of. all efforts n the part OF the step
mother to win them, they bulied and abused her AND made her life miserable
She was finally forced Ito leave her home and return to her relatives.
As a rule, the stepmother is accused of making her adopted children n
happy, but this incident presents anotherI side, which, probably is even q.Ee.
Tt is certain there is n o other place in hfe@which is SO beetw with dihcuf v
as that of he stepmother. No matter how wealthy and good the NIddHr
may be- often wonders that my woman could be foolish enough ito afnw'

mother have such love for another womanfs child. But she must expect to
Ill the petty annoyances SheInust stand all the dirt the noise and the
that turn even the mldest woman into a crank.
Tradition has made a stepmother a sort or tyTant, who delights In ILL
treating chn1ren. The children are taught to dread her is they would the
plague. They regard her every act with suspicion, and n o matter how
hard she tries to do her duty they rarely give her credit for it.
To those who think that a stepnother is to b. avoided 1 want to say that
there are many stepmothers who ire sitting by little sick beds tending little

The causes are given as follows: Des-
