The Cheap Money Scheme.

(Received Septemoer 11, 11 30 a.m.) Sydney, September 11 The Herald and Telegraph, comment ing on the New Zealand cheap inonej scheme, consider the margin between the borrowing and lending rates too narrow to provide for bad debts and working expenses. They foresee the contingency, owing to political control, : of the mortgagors combining to obtain relief under the slightest pretext. The Herald considers the working of the scheme must add largely to the expen diture of the colony. It has yet to be shown whether, if the transactions are carried out on such lines as would speedily bring a private company into liquidation, reconstruction can safely be undertaken by Government, The Telegraph terms the measure the " New Zealand Demoralisation Bill." It thinks it likely enough to stimulate settle ment, but equally certain to promote extravagance, and predicts that in ten years such a measure will prove dis astrous to the credit of the Govern ment and demoralising to the people.

A Plucky Woman.

A Presbyterian lady, says a S in Francisco contemporary, kaa just caused a decision by the church to which she belonged, and by the Presbytery which sustained the church, to be reversed by the Synod, which in turn was sustained by the General Assembly. The case is known as the Sadie Means caae. Misa Sidie Means was employed in the tele phone exchange in Columbia, S.C., and her duties required aa attendance at the office a few hours each Sunday. She was, however, regular in hesr attendance upon church ser vice, and, except in the matter of Sunday work, was an unexceptional member of the church. But the minister and some of the , elders did not think that Sunday work was compatible with her religious professions. She was given the alternative of throwing up her position or her membership in the church. She declined to do either and wa ultimately expelled. She appealed her case to the Presbytery and lost it again. From the Presbytery it went to the Synod, where the Presbytery decision was reversed. The church, now warmed up, took the case to the General Assembly, which recently held a session at Nashville, Term., and there made another losing. The discussion was hot, but the telephone young lady won; She is now reinstated in her beloved church and answers telephone calls with all her former sweetness of tone. The lesson of this is that woman is the coming man:

The American Harpers.

The Harpers are probably the best known publishers in America. The original firm was established early in the century by John and James Har per, but about 1833 the two younger brothers were admitted as members, I and the style of the firm was changed to Harper and Brothers, which it has ever since retained. The present quarters cover about half an acre of ground in New York City and the building is seven storeys high. It is said to be absolutely fire-proof and is looked upon as being the most complete publishing establishment in the world, all the operations in the preparation and publication of a book being carried on under a single roof, and the regular number of employees in the premises of both sexes is about 1000. A peculiarity of the firm is that all the younger male membexs of each branch of the family, after receiving a care ful education, are taken into the publishing house and trained in some particular branch of the business. In this way the business is kept within control of the family, and receives the intelligent attention of men who have been, so to speak, raised under the roof.
