As they stood before the open fire, attending to the old-fashioned tiu kitchen, with glowing faces, how strange the vision would have appeared revealed in these latter days. And then, looking out into the future, from her close quarters, what would she have thought of the co- operative kitchen, where a multitude of families received their food from one large cook-stove? True, the co-operative kitchen is what a western statesman calls “ an iri- descent dream,” a dream of the future ; but there are morc people now than ever before who fully believe that in some such way the housewives of this country are to be relieved of a vast amount of drudgery, and the " hired girl question ” solved, and considerable of the present waste stopped. Our women in every city, and aliuost in every large town, groan under the burdens of life at the mercy of this same “hired girl ;” and in the cities more and more are abandoning housekeeping alto- gether, giving up the cherished idea of a home, and going into the boarding house or a hotel. In this city house. keeping has been abandoned in many cases, on account of lack of the right kind of he] , and shelter and food found at the hotel. The co-operative plan would largely relieve housewives of the weary depressing in u- ence of the present rule in the dwelling ; a rule which involves, in too many cases, a life of drudgery and tread mill routine to the woman of the house, to say nothing of her burden of cares. Mr. W. S. Key, in a recent magazine article, argues forcibly that it is really as foolish for the housewife to undertake the cooking for her family as it would be to spin or weave their clothing, or to make, in her own bungling way, the family shoes. Cooking is a fine art, and the individual kitchen, besides being necessaril costly and wasteful, contrasted with the cheap and saving cooperative system, as at present managed, seldom produces whole- some and excellent cooking. On well pre- pared and appetizing food depends, to no small degree, not merely the comfort, but the health of the family. Intelligence must preside over the kitchen as Well as over the general affairs of the family ; and upon it we must depend for the rescue that is to comeâ€"the rescue from the necessary extravagance of runnin separate or ” individual" kitchens, and the unnecessary waste and blundering which is added to that necessary extravagance. The relief from the cooking and laundry work â€"both of which can, it is declared, be done to far better advantage by the co- operative planâ€"would enable the house Wife to make almost a pleasure and pas- time of the workâ€"«the sweeping, dust. ing, cleaning, table-setting, dish-washing -â€"and enable the establishment of a more systematic and saving arrangement. It is necessarily more or less costly to equip and run an individual kitchen, compared to the saving to be effected by a cooperative plan. All the supplies, in the latter case, would be purchased by the wholesale ; the “ help ” would be competent and would understand 9 ~, l‘laCll fam - vard and Yale were thirty-nine Lliousandlily WOUM I'OCCiYC its daiiy bill 0f film. dollars, and the thrill/mull dollars. expanses wore twelvcl cooked at home. nicely and intelligently be served the Milli to It (ill I is the estimate of an experienced authority, Mr. Key says, that a person‘s meals, nicely cooked by one who has ey. periencc, could be furnished for one dollar a week, if a. hundred were thus to be pro- vided for at the same time. An electrical kitchen is described by Mr. Key, and he attended dinner, given to a dozen persons, that was cooked in such a kitchen, the appliance used being similar to that we saw at the “'orld's Fair, where bread was baked in twenty minutes. The kitchen had no stove or range. A large elevated cupboard, to hold all the utensils, had, running along its bottom front, an electric switchboard. Below and in front of it was a dresser, or table on which were the kettle, coffee pot, saucepan, plates, etc., each utensil connect- ed electrically with the switchboard. The big oven was at one side, with its steak broiler on top, and a flue to carry off all the fumes. Beyond it was an upright copper boiler, that furnished hot water to a sink and wash bowl on the other side of the room. Everything was heated and cooked by electricity, and the roast joint in its gravy from the oven, the steak and the vegetablesâ€"all were as appetizing as any ever cooked by the best fire. This is all significant of what we may expect in the years to come. ._â€"-.â€"â€"â€" In [lo a Genius? There is such a thing as being “jack of all trades and master of none.” It may be that the majority of mankind err in at tempting too little, but there is a possibility of undertaking too much. Dr. Adam Clarke's caveat to the contrary notwith- standing, a man may have too many irons in the fire. There are but few men who can do a reat many things at the same time and r 0 them well. Mr. W. T. Stead is a striking illustration of the folly of play- ing the part of universal genius, and of one man attempting to control and guide the world’s progress. He is smart, no doubt, and in a shallow age, and among unthink- ing people, smartness often passes for cleverness; and the man who happens to have an abnormal development of self- esteem and is endowed withal with “the gift of the gab" is often taken for an universal genius. And, without denying Mr. Steads ability as a political and socialistic agitator, it is perhaps not unfair to saythat his success and the reputation which he has acquired are very largely the result of his possession of the qualtities which have just been adverted to. It has been said that “ nothing succeeds like success,” by which it may be supposed is meant that the success of the past affords the best guarantee of success in the present and in the future. And as the temper of the time is to worship success, the success which Mr. Stead has achieved as the editor and publisher of the Rania; of Reviews, to go no further back, will be a sullicientpass- port to the admiration of many. But there is success and success. One cannot withhold a certain degree of admiration and respect from a man who has established and carried on successfully alucrative business. Apart entirely from the manner in which this has been done, or the effect which the enter- prise has had on the public, we recognize in it the eVidence of business capacity on the part of its projectors, and so long as he stands before us in his quality as a business man, unless his methods have been notori- ously dishonest and dishonorable, he is pretty sure of success. But if he poses as an oracle which is to be consulted on all occasions andall subjects, “ a prophet bred Between the living and the dead,” commissioned by the powers above, to set tle authoritatively the great questions, political, religious, and social which have engaged the attention of the wisest and best men of all time, and which have baffled and defeated the wisdom of successive gen- erations, the case wears an entirely different complexion. Before he can be accepted in this higher role he must be certified to us by an altogether different sort of credentials. It is but reasonable to ask in that case, “ What evidence have we of your superior politcal wisdom? What proof have you given that you possess either the genius or the training which is necessary to make a states- man ‘2 What superior Sagacity or practical wisdom have you ever displayed in dealing with great social questions that lifts you appreciably above the level of any other brawliug flatulent radical of the old world, or any average ward politician of the new? And what training have you had in tlieology,in eccesiastical polity or in Church history, that warrants you in undertaking the revolution of the Church of God? \Vho are you any way, where did you come from and by what authority do you speak ‘2” Canadian Hay in Britain- A correspondent,who usually knows what he is talking about, writes the London let- ter in The Edinburgh Scotsman. He says in that paper : “An interesting feature in the expor trade of Canada in the last two years ha been the large quantity of hay shipped to this country. Only a comparatively small uautityâ€"under 20,000 tonsâ€"was sent over in 1892,but the shipments for the 10 months of the present year are already considerably over 100,000 tons. Although the matter has been receiving attention in Canadian circles for some little time, it was never ex- eoted that the trade would grow to any- thing like its present magnitude, having regard to the bulky nature of the product and the high freights that are the necessary consequence. The prices, however, have been so satisfactory that, notwithstanding the disadvantages under which the trade has been developed, the Canadian farmers and shippers must have secured a very fair margin of profit. Itis not generally known that the importations from Canada have been so large, as the Board of Trade re- turns show a much greater quantity from the United States than from the Dominion. As a matter of fact, however, the United States export little or no hay, being rather an importing country than otherwise, and the large quantity that appears as coming from that country is really shipped from Canada by Canadians via American :1 ports.

The Sealers Claims. . Tthnzpire thinks that some nice ‘M- tions will arise out of the claims for 3:. ‘ pensation just filed by the Canadian sealels for exclusion from Behring Sea during that pendency of the arbitration. These claims amount to upwards of a million dollars,and whatever of this amount is found to be just- ly due will have to be paid by the United States, under the terms of the modus viv. endi of 1892, which was renewed for 1893- Two main points are involved, one having relation to the basis on which the compen- sation shall be paid; and the other,whether the sealers are to be paid the value of the seals they might have caught in Behring Sea, irrespective of the consideration that whilst shut out of those waters they were profitably employed elsewhere. By the modus viveudi of 1892 it is expressly agreed that if the result of the arbitration shall be to affirm the right of British sealers to take seals in Behring Sea within the bounds claimed by the United States under its purchase from Russia, then compensation shall be made by the United States to Great Britain, for the use of her subjects, for abstaining from the exercise of that right during the pendency of the arbitration, upon the basis of such regulated and limited catch or catches as in the opinion of the arbitrators might have been taken without an undue diminution of the seal herds. It is further provided that the amount awarded shall be just and equitable and shall be promptly paid. The arbitrators have expressed no direct opinion on the subject of the catch which “ might have been taken without an undue diminution of the seal herds,” and this has already been the subject of international dispute. In 1890, it will be remembered, Mr. Goff, the United States Government agent, stopped the killing of seals on the Pribyloffislands early in the season, alleging that this Was absolutely necessary for the preservation of the species, and he advised the cessation of all killing for several years; and Mr. Elliott in his letter to Secretary Windom, transmitting a detailed re- port made in pursuance of a. special Act of Congress, made a recommendation to the same effect, placing the abstention from killing at when years at least. Impressed by the stand taken by the United States, Great Britain assented to the modus viveudi of 1891 which absolutely prohibited scaling in Behring Sea. The result of the investi- gation of seal life made by the British com- missioners in 1891 was, however,such as to convince the British Government that these stringent measures need not be repeated in 1892, and they proposed instead that a thirty mile zone of protection should be established around the Pribylofi' islands, and that the killing on these islands should be restricted to a maximum of thirty thou- sand. The United States, however, prompt- ly and decisively pronounced this proposal to be so obviously inadequate and so impos- sible of execution that it could not be entertained. Then the British Government consented to the modus viveudi of 1892 with the condition as to compensation included. Previous to the intervention of Mr. Gofi' the seals killed by the lessees of the Priby- luff islands had for many years averaged upwards of a hundred thousand annually and in the first year of cession to the United States the enormous number of a quarter of a million seals were killed there. The Canadian catch in Behring Sea had been gradually increasing, reaching the highest point in 1891, notwithstanding the partial prohibition, when 28,888 seals were cap- tured there. Those vessels warned not to enter Behring Sea before leaving Victoria had received $10C,000 as partial compensa~ tion, and they include less than half the fleet. This amount was paid by the British Government. Notwithstanding the exclu- sion from Behring Sea in 1892 and 1893 the Victoria sealing fleet has increased its numbers and the total of its catch' which for this season amounted to 67,- 731 skins, while up to 1891 the high- est catch was the 49,615 taken that year: Forced by circumstances to abandon the old hunting grounds, the sealers turned their attention to the J span coast and Rus- sian waters, which they exploited l0 suc- cessfully that upwards of forty-one thousand of this season’s catch were taken there. The terms of the modus viveudi, however, do not call upon the party losing in the arbi- tration to pay only for the losses on the season’s business occasioned by the modus viveudi arrangement. The case is put in a nutshell by the sealers when they say , “ We would have taken a million dollars’ worth of seals in Behring Sea had we been allowed there this year and last. The United States had the sole advantage arise ing out of our exclusion, and the fact that we had the good luck to find seals elsewhere does not exempt them from liability.” _â€"._A , FACTS IN FEW wonns.
