On the contrary, they assert that the regulations ae at once oppressive and inex pedient, that while they are framed so as to militate against the interests of the fishermen and to place them at a decided disadvantage when compared with their American fellowcrafts- A.

In contrast with the present system, which the fishermen declare is leading to the depletion of the fisheries, they place the policy of the Michigan authorities, who instead of enacting a close season and spending large sums in protecting the fish, have established half a dozen hatch- eries from which, it is claimed, the supply can be replenished faster than the fisher- men can deplete it. Moreover, the fisher- men assert that the cost of maintaining overseers and government cruisers would support enough efficient hatcheries on the Georgeian Bay and Lake Huron to make the depletion of the fisheries an impossibil- ity. In view of these facts they have made their prayer to the government as follows : “ This association asks the Government to establish and equip hatcheries located as near as possible to the natural spawning ground of the fish and to shorten and grade the close season for fish until such time as the fish propagated by the hatcheries shall grow, and then to abolish the close season, placing the Canadian fishermen on the same footing as the American.” Certainly it is conceivable that these one hundred and fifty fishermen are willing for the sake of a present benefit to endanger their future prospects. Such short-sightedness has been seen before now. It is much more reason- able to suppose, however, that intelligent men who have made large investments in fishing plant and tackle, and who have chosen this as their life calling will be as anxious as any to have their industry pro- perly protected. When therefore they are so unanimous in their condemnation of ex- isting regulationsit is pretty good evidence that the laws are not above improvement. Moreover their su estion that the Govern- ment establish hate eries, which have already demonstrated their efliciency, is not an unreasonable one. And inasmuch as our neighbors have not copyrighted the idea, and as it is the dictate of Wisdom to follow a. good example by whomsoever set. it is to be hoped our rulers will listen to the prayer. To attribute lack of success to ill luck is soothing to thevanity of men ; consequently, few can be found who admit that the fault lies with themselves A man of good pre- sence, pleasant family, etc., was by a fire thrown out of his regular employment. The head of a. large factory saw the “ ad,” and he thought to save time by taking a. cab right to the number designated and securing the gentleman’s services. He found the wife at home expecting her husband’s return l from down town. In a. few minutes the young man came up the street! He walked . eisurely until he reached his own steps, I when he turned his back to the house and proceeded to pull the very last whiff from the wee stub of a cigarette. Two minutes, three minutes passed. The wife was nervous. Another minute and a few more whifi's, and , the gentleman inside rose hastily and said“ kindly, “ Pardon me, but I do not think I want a man who has not yet left off boyish ; habits. In my business time is money. l Good’day.” He bowed himself out just as the husband, disturbed by the opening of the door, spat the little smoking stub from , between his teeth and passed up the steps. 5 He found his Wife in tears, and would hardly i believe his senses when she told him how he lost good employment by dallying with the weed in small packages. ! George Kennan, whose graphic account of his travels through Siberia and whose vivid and realistic description of Russia's convict system so thrilled and startled the world a few years ago, is receiving his reward. That he did not make his journey in vain nor suffer for naught the untold hardships through which he passed, the following from the London Daily News is evidence. Says that paper : “ The articles from the pen of George Kennan have met with a re- markable reception in Europe. Authorized translations of these articles into the French, Danish, Dutch and Czech languages have been arranged for, and they have already appeared in book form. In Hungary, in Italy and in France they have been publish ed in a number of papers. Besides these authorized publications there have been five distinct German practical translations." Had Mr. Kennan’s sole object in undertak- ing his journey been one of philanthropy he could not have chosen a better method for Black centers BYE handkerchiefs, with t! lace border. accomplishing his ends.

To deny that there is any necessity for change would be to call in question thejudgment of the ladies themselves, who certainly ought to be the best judges in the matter. It is significant, however, that while many voices are calling for reform there is a Wide diversity of opin- ion as to the nature and extent of the changes that should be made. On the one hand, some, with the conservative instinct strong, claim that as very little change is necessary to make women's dress all that it ought to be, that a little modification of the corset which should be made somewhat shorter at the hips and be less tightly laced, a little shortening of the skirt so as to have it escape the ground by a couple of inches and a little changing of the sleeve so as to give easy play to the arm and hand, would be all the change that is required for any purpose. On the other hand the more radical s irits are evidently disposed to advocate or general feminine use the tights and trunks worn upon the stage. Between these two extremes almost every shade of opinion may be found. This difference of view which is not peculiar to the leaders of the present movement, being characteristic ot the inital stages of all reforms, has never- theless provoked certain members of the press to gratuitously offer some suggestions to the leaders of the movement. of these the New York Sun advises the refomiers that they study the effect of the present bathing dress for women before deciding on the costume they will adopt. “ This dress,” it urges, “is not unbecoming, in very many cases it is remarkable ; it allOWS perfect freedom of movement, it consists of only two pieces, with the exception of the stock ings and itis entirely modest. No better costume for work could be devised, and with suitable undergarments it could be made warm enough for any weather of this climate. Young; women and old wear it in the seabeaehes without fear of beholders, and hence it might not less appropriately be worn in the public streets. It could also be beautified with color and decoration, so that the feminine desire for adornment would be satisfied." I portan . some n \Vill the reform make any substantial pro- gress ‘2 is the question many are asking ; or will Women in general be inclined to look upon the new movement merely as a. fad of certain members of their sex who are anxious to gain a little notoriety 2 In such matters it is always safer to defer prophecying until after the event. Still it is pretty safe to say that the mere fact that certain strong-mind- ed women are advocates of the change will not effect the reform desired. This is one of those matters in which the leaders of society are likely to have much more in- fluence than the arguments or even example of women whom nature has especially en- dowed with strength of intellect and with the ability to express their views in public. If by some means the reformers could in- duce say the Princess of \Vales and Queen Victoria. to fall in vn'th their ideas and lead the van the reformation would stand some chances of winning its way. But until the arbiters of fashion lend it their support the advocates of the reform will but work in vain. Monograms are no longer used 011 note paper.
