She was smart, so, doubtless, was tbo fisher man ; but the detective who tracked and arrested tho woman was the smartest of tho lot.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

The commencement of ■ ostrich fanning in tho colonies is alarming tbe C-ipe colonists, who have long cherished this lucrative business as their own particular monopoly. The success of OBtrioh farming in Nev Zealand is no longer proble matical, the first consignment of feathers from Canterbury having beon placed upon the London market suc cessfully. The " Cape Times" of • 20fh January, referring to this, says : " The export duty on ostriches was imposed too late. It waa the old story of looking the stable door. VVe are warned in the 'Colonies and Inuia' that the Cape monopoly of tho .oatrich leather trade is likely to be of ehort continuance. The birds have been imported in the River Plate, Delhi^ South Australia, and New Zealand, and' from each of these new homes tbe London market in due time will receive supplies in competi tion with those from the Gape. The first consignment from New Zealand, con sisting of over 2,000 feathers, was received by the Rimutaka last month, and offered at the public sales the week before the dee patch ol the last Cape mail. These feathers, grown on the ostrich farm of Mr J. Matson, Springfield, .Papahui, Christchurch, were consigned to the firm, of Redfen, Alexander and Co , of Great VViuehesfer-stijet. It is remarket* that a better selection could not have been mado, seeing that ' Mr B. Van der Byl, a member oi that firm, was the first to suggest and carry into practice, some twenty years ago, the domestication of the ostrich in the Cape Colony, although others have subse quently taken the credit of organising this industry, which has now attained such a high degree of importance as to reach in one year a sum of one million sterling in value for the feathers exported.' 'Mr Van der Byl's claim to the origination of ostrich farming will assuredly not pass unchal lenged ; but no one will dispute his quali fication, in : preference to the majority of London merchant-, 'oasfiet in establish ing the Now" Zsalafiu competition fey tbo best advantage Mr Matson haa sent inetrncti.,ns Homo to bavo two fans made of the choicest feathers to be presented to the Queen and the Princess of Wales "

Another argument in favour of life assur ance has laiely beeu advanced in some leading American commercial journals based on the novel , but apparently logical theory, that it acts powerfully in the direction of equalisation of wealth. One instance to illustrate the truth of this theory will suffice. Take a thousand men, each aged 25 years, ana the accepted tables ol mortality show that on an average they will live for another 30 yeara each.or a gro.s amount "of 30,000yearsin all Now, if tach of these individuals saved un sty £ 100 por year, wo have a total result of three millions, and if the amount saved hod been yearly invested in Life Assurance such ones family would receive au equal amount at his death. Now on the other hand, aipposing these thousand individuals had at 25 jears started life On their own account wi h tbe intention ol lav ing out this £100 for their families in invest ments, even should they reach the age of 55 years, would they reap the same benefit they would have done hadthey beon insured' Is it not pretty certain that from errors of investment, from loss avoidable or unavoid able,, the usual variations of wealth would have become apparent in the space «f the ' thirty years? % means of such ajrg.ments the holders of this new. 'theory ureas | upon public attention the .good that would arise from apo)% oL,"N&.,onal Life ! Assurance. Anything tbatfUends: to ■« _ • accumulation ot capital, or, as iTobhSfuaic Mfllc-Itait ••ab.ttniho.^in a country is Z benehcia ; but i„ add 4* t to that characteristic, life agS rt,. ■ ance,_ as . pointed out by these «« theorists, not only teaches the people a!_f_ \\^°» ° ,r ing "^ b™equalises .It as well. No progress," says an eminent j political economist, " can be made fcmnv I sphere, small or large, withont reserved fnnJf' Possessed by few or more person if in emSll or Wrge Binonnts,"' .
