The Servant Problem in Ger many.

We do not hear much of the* servant problem from Germiny, and we ia this country would not bo troubled with it to such to extent if tho same pains wer« iak«n to train and orgmisa domestics,- In Germany, every domestic servant i* under the sapervision and protection of tho State, Each one, on entering service, is daly registered at the burgo master's or at the nearest police station, and receives s little book containing not only the various rales sod regula tions of domestic service, the by-laws concerning the ".hiring penny," th« " fortnight's notice," and so forth, bat blank pages on which the masters and mistresses subsequently insert the dis charge and testimonial. On leaving one situation to enter another, the domes tic's book must be shown to the police I sergeant, who puts the official seal on it, ! and outers tho new address in his ledger. This Hula bit of State interference hag i » wholesome effect on all parties, for tho servant Boon feels ashamed of throwing up a good situation without adequate reasons (ss too many of oar domestics do), and the most fickle of mistresses; does not like what she calig 'everybody to know that she is difficult to please, .. and so will go on until some real fault hss occurred, when she is obliged to dis roige her domestic, and must distinctly state the real cause of dismissal.

Where Women Come in in South Africa.

(Prom The Scotsman London Letter.)

In the settlement of South Africa the condition of the marriage market must be kept In view. Yoar Pretoria correspon dent has shown how the procesa of absorption goes on when British settlers are united with Boer women;

During the war our officers, like yonr eorraspondent, have encountered families whosu names betokened British origin, and whose tongue and manners and prejudices classified them among the most reactionary of Boers. They are the descendants of settlers who, after marrying Dnfcch women, have abandoned all effort to maintain their nationality, and have succumbed to the benumbing Influence of tha backward community in wbioh they lived,

In the not distent future the question will present itself whether colonisation is to be left to face the dangers of simitar alliances between the settlers and Botch women. Already, it is satisfactory to learn, there is an organised movement hoth in Scotland and England fco provide that the marriage market shall not be thus circumscribed, A large number of reservists nil!, it Is certain, ask for their discharge in South Africa, in order that tbey naajr settle there. They will find abundant occupation at good wages, and they will desire to make their homes in the new colonies. It is moat desirable that they should be able to marry. under conditions which shall promise well for tha future loyalty of Sooth Afrioa. There is consequently nefid for a considerable inflow of British women into I Africa, and to that end two i nrcanis-itkme are at work. They have 1 tho p•-onv.se of Stare aided passages for girls who may hope to find some employ ment suitable for the domestic servant cla-ig, snd who miy reckon at no remote day on becoming the wives of British sett Jars

Consumption. Don't think that con sumption strikes a sud den blow. It doesn't. It creeps its way along. It comes like a thief in the night, carefully, cautiously but „ surely. First it is a little cough; then a little hacking cough; then a little loss in weight; then a harder and more persis tent cough; then fever and night sweats. A little later bleeding commences and the disease has a strong grasp. Stop the disease while it ies yet creeping, Xou can if you will. Stop it with Lane's Emulsion Of Cod Liver Oil and Creasote. 1 The most certain and effective lung healer '} made.
