poorer districts were sadly hampered by
the dearth of church -workers. •
Eeperance asked no more question!), and
in a few minutes the houses were left
behind, and the bare, bleak country lay
before them. Half a mile beyond the town
stood the Prior, a gloomy, brown • building,
not really old, but built in the antique
style; Esperanoe's heart beat quickly,
'
when, in one of the lanoetbeaded windows,
she caught sight of the snowy hair and

lady; "1 Caonght I had sorted them all
last year. This will be an afternoon's work

Accordingly, after the two o'olook dinner
was over, and Mrs; Passmore had taken her
usuel siesta, the two set to work, destroying
a few of the less preoietts documents, and
arranging the others carefully according to
dates.

gave an exolamation of surprise.

They were folded together, though one
was written on thin blue paper, the other
on a little notensized sheet, yellow with age.
Eaperance opened the latter and read
eagerly:

All these thing); make wonaen shy and

the increasing demand, on aothant of their

woman worker has however; the security
of knowing that she oan take up her stand
with 4 greater chance of suooess, for with
the best women workers as with the men,
the supply is, rarely in excess of the de.

given to women a good deal of the better
class work they cannot do would be carried
out in England, instead of being executed
by French women, who are trained for it in
the many teolanioal sohools which exist for
women in France,
In Scotland the question hes been

the prospect of combining for the an.

England. Sootch women are more Mae.
pendent and selftreliant, added to which,
though the pay is bed, their surroundings
are lees deteriorating than • those of the
London wornen, and their dwellings are
better and rents ate lower.
The rapid increase of the population and
the influx of people from the conntry to
the large towns make the problem of how
to deal with our skilled female labor every
year more difficult. The edueation hith-
erto given to women in England is purely
intellectual, and when a girl has passed
the standard she at once goes into the
ranks of the unskilled. If she oan give
time she may be apprenticed and learn a
trade, but the number of girls who inn
afford to do that is getting fewer every day.
The few shillings a girl oan earn at onoe is
too important an addition to the family
income to be rejeoted, and, as the majority
of them marry while practically children,
neither the necessity of being apprenticed
nor of joining a union appeals to them.-

The Corn Exhibit in Edinburgh.
The Edinburgh Scottish Leader, May 713a,
gives a lengthy and enthusiastic thootintel
the Anaerioan Indian corn exhibit at the
Exposition in that oity. Colonel Murphy

who has the exhibit in charge, is not only
showing the Sootchrnen the different aerie-
ties of corn produced in the United States,
and explaining to them the imnaensity of
the crop audits remarkable cheapness, but
he is teething them ita manifold uses in
the prodnotion of ,starole, glucose, oil,
•
whiskey, etc. "This is the firt time,"
says the Leader, "that the people of Ele.
land home been taught how to cook maize;
and, no doubt, many after seeing and test.
ing the numerous exoellent qualities of that
form of food will wonder why they have so
long been kept in ignorance of them." At
the risk of having•its patriotism impeached
the Leader deolares "that Indian corn
bread is pleasant to the taste arid lighter
than oatmeal," and that "if people are

and nutritious food that can be made
from this corn it is thought that exporta.

Colonel Murphy has had printed fifty
different ways of making appetizing and
nutritious dishes from cornmeal, furnished
hien by the Record. If he should prevail
upon the people of Great Britain to learn
how to properly prepare corn for the table'
all the rest would be easy. They would
find that it is as good food for men and
women as for horses and oxen. And what
