This statement was made during an interview which a representative of Canada had with Mrs. Pemberton, of Victoria, and the Rev. Canon Beanlands, who was for #0 many years a prominent resident of the Pacific province. : It was pointed out that, while the Chinaman is extensively employed in domestic service in British Columbia, the native-born Canadian girl almost invariably seeks work in an office, a store, or a' school, being able to pick and choose an occupation which, be- cause it would give her the greatest amount of leisure time in the even. ings, seems most to her taste. An- other point dwelt upon was that in the towns of Canada those families which' are in a position te employ female domestic servants, expect ser. vice as such, and not as lady-helps. Frequently disappointment has been occasioned because the new-comer has been led to believe that she will he treated as "one of the family." In other cases, girls have gone out who have been employed in those large establishments whieh are so numer- ous in the Old Country, and of which there are so few in Canada--rich men's houses where a number of ser. vanis are kept, each one having some defined duty to perform, which has made her either incompetent or un- willing to discharge the duties of a "general" servant. A common cause of mutual dissat- isfaction between mistress and maid --in trivial matters almost amusing ~is, however, the inadaotability of the newcomer to her different sur- roundings. Cases were quoted of girls who have always used this or that British polish, and could not Be made to realize that a Canadian-made article--one. with a name to which they were not accustomed---could per. form the work. Occasionally, also, there is disappointment in the matter of wages, though as much as $15 a month may be paid to even the "raw" girl who really shows anxiety to learn and willingness to work. The opportunities for such a girl to rise and, frequently, to settle in a good home of her own, are, it was specially emphasized, much greater oe in the older land. In discussing the necessary expen- diture as comp: with earnings, as to which so much difference of opin- ion has been expressed, it was stated that in British Columbia, without doubt, clothing is about 50 per cent. more sgstly, and the making of dresses by local dressmakers is prob. ably twice as dear as in England. Cot. ton and underwear are, how- ever, not any more ve, but sometimes cheaper, than "at home." "The general impression," said Canon Beanlands, "is, I think, strongly in favor of the higher wages as balanced against the higher price of commodi. ties; there is a larger margin for sav- ing or spending." As openings for school teachers, typists, or stenographers, and shops or office workers of any kind, the local supply is considered quite adequate to the demand. An- other point dfawn attention to was the entirely different conditions exist. ing in cities like Vancouver or Vie. toria from those in the country dis- tricts on the mainland or islands. Probably no province has so many people di ly from the United King. dom engaged in fruit-farming, ranch. ing, ete., who would welcome the right sort of female help in their homes, and would value the addi- tion to the family of those who could join socially as well as helpfully in ueiz circle, in fact, be true 'lady helps." Those who desire more detailed in. formation regarding the existing openings in British Columbia might communicate with the Becretary of the Young Women's Christian As- sociation in Vancouver, in connection with which there is a committee which looks after new arrivals, and a hostel where a certain number can be boarded while arranging for a situation. The British Women's Emi. gration Society, which has its offices in the Imperial Institute, Londen will send out a personally condu party of young women in- March. Another Cause of Alarm.

Thy, recent tragedy in Houndsditch recalls many similar examples of 3 lio heroism in the face of terrible odds, all going to show that the men in blue have never hesitated to risk 'heir lives in the course of their duty. Constable Davey of Acton, so far as record shows, was the first policeman to be shot dead by a thief. Davey suspected a man named Brookes to be implicated in a certain robbery, and Brookes knew that Davey was on his. track. Brookes called at Davey"s house at night, and shot him down. In the seventies a policeman was shot at Whalley Range, near Man- chester, and two. brothers, named Habron, were accused, and sent to penal servitude for life. It was after. wards discovered that they were in- nocent, and that the real assassin was the notorious Charles Peace. Peace shat at and wounded P.C. Robinson in, his last exploit, before his daring career was brought to a close. Again, in 1881, P. C. Atkins sur- prised a gang burgling a house stand- ing in its own grounds at Kingston, and was shot down. Up to the time of this affair bur- glars had rarely used revolvers, but now the practice became common, and, in the following year, P. C. Cole vas murdered at Dalston. The. mur- Jderer was Orrock, a young man who Was a member of the Baptist chapel he was bregking into when Cole came upon. the scene, and was considered quite a model youth. But two years ®ant over before justice was done, and then Orrock was run to earth quite by mecident. He had left his chisel behind him at the chapel, and on the blade was scratched the word "rock," and when, some months after the murder, a man named Orrock was sentenced fo tavelve 'months' dmprisonment for housebreak- ing, a detective got into conversation with one of Orrock's friends -- also "Mloing time" --and learned something which brought the murder of Cole to his mind. The chisel was then ex- amined under a microscope, and un- derneath the word "rock" was found another, which the microscopist made out to be "Orrick." ¥his was enough to hang the mur- derer, and hanged he was accordin iy. Following the murder of Cole, fur- her regulations were made to enable the police to meet the new class of desperadoes on something like equal terms. - Double patrols were arranged in certain places, constables were al- lowed to have revolvers when it ap- peared necessary, and whistles were fiven them In the year of the Dalston murder ere was a desperate affray in Hox- ton.4 James Wright, a hardened vil- lzin, shot three poligemen, wound- ing them severely. The case which followed over roofs of houses, where the ruffian kept his pursuers at bay with a revolver for more than two hours, forms one of the most exciting erisodes in police annals. Inspector Simmons, of the Essex Constabulary, the following January, was shot at Romford by one of three men whom+ he had been watching. His murderer, James Lee, was cr. ed owing to his stupidity in pledging his pistol at the pawnbroker's shop where he had previously pawned it. One of the men with e Was an ex-conviet who had been concerned in shooting at two policemen in Glou. cestershire, and another was a meém- ber of the gang who burgled Netherby Hall, Cumberland, and whose subse- ouent flight furnishes an intensely dramatic story. The gang were pursued from place to place until they were run to earth, twenty-four hours afterwards, and ¢nptured, fighting desperately. Dur. Zag their flight they shot four police- men, wounding three, and killing one cutright. , Then, in July, 1885, there occurred a terrific fight between a young con- stable and a masked burglar, whom he surprised on the roof of a house in Kensington. Four shots were fired at the officer, who was subsequently found insensible. Holland, another constable, was assailed by three bur- glars in 8t. Marylebone Churchyard, in August, 1886, and was shot in the leg by one of them. A burglary at Muswell Hill, in 1389, when a gang, armed with revolvers, severely wounded one of the inmgtes, led to the old, heavy regulation boots being discarded for boots with india rubber soles for night duty; and af- ter this affair came a cessation of murderous outrages with the burglar's revolver until London was startled by the extraordinary affray at Totten. ham, in 1908, which js sufficiently re- cent to be remembered by everyone. -------------- How "T. P." Resis. It would not be an easy 'matter to find a man who works more strenu. ously than Mr. T. P. O'Connor, When, a short time ago, he went to America to collect the funds for the Irish Party which have furnished so much talk and discussion, he traveled 12,000 miles in eight weeks, delivering speeches almost every day. Then the doetor ordered. him complete rest. "T.P." rested for two days: then he got restless, wrote a long magazine article, delivered two speeches, each of pearly one hour's {end and afterwards wrote another short article, which he posted himself between one and two o'clock in the morning. Mr. O'Connor writes everything with his own hands on a typewriter.
