In the coal mining districts `there are more men than women.~ In the u iron districts there are more men `J man women. ~ In the hosiery anon 18.60` ;towns there are more women than. men. But, even in this restricted eld, the balance of advantage is `steadily with the women, for wher-' over there are men there must be women to look after their homes, while a woman who is at work can ,look after her home for herself. It might be supposed that Oxford and Cambridge, by reason of the univer- sities, would show a, preponderance. of men.

While `trespassing, on the railways, 286 persons were killed and 116, in- jured; 135 persons committed sui- cide on railways, `and 17, persons were injured while apparently at- tempting suicide. Accidents caused by the traveling of trains or the movement of vehicles used exclusive- ly upon railways caused the death during the twelve months of 443 ser- vants of companies and injury to 3,- 713 others. Of these, 15 were killed and 501 injured while coupling or `uncoupling vehicles. Altogether. the number of persons killed on railways in the United Kingdom in the course 01 public traffic during 1902_was 1,- 096," and the number of persons in- jured 6,661. In addition to the above, the railway companies have reported to the"Board of Trade acci- dents which . occurred upon their premises, but in which the movement of vehicles used exclusively upon railways was not concerned, which brings the total number of personal accidents reported during the twelve months to 1,171 persons killed and` 17.814 injured.--London Times.

Canada In lame That Claim Inch At- ` tentlon and Admin-atlon. ` The mention of the nameorchld recalls uncanny stories of plants _with homicidal tendencies, while it excites anticipations of . strange mem- bers of the vegetable kingdom percha ing on trees and drawing sustenance ' from the air. But we have members.` of the family in Canada claiming at- tention and admiration for their own sake. quite. independently of the - fame of" their southern relatives. They `do not coil their relentless and re- sistless tendrils around. the unwary traveler, nor pass through their met . amorphosis in syndicate short stor- ies. Neither do they climb trees or otherwise `defy the mandates of or-_ aldecorum. But they have charms all their own that repay many a season's quest where the life of na- ture has not been destroyed by en- croaching civilization. The yellow lady's slipper or moccasin ower, either name being sufficient for iden- tication, is perhaps the_ best known of our wild orchids, although to nd .: it makes a ramble memorable. Its ` lip, for all orchids have that member, _ is in `form and color indicated -by ` its name, In season look for it un~N der blow undisturbed branches on dry hillsides. The pink,lady s slipper and showy lady's slipper are still more beautiful sisters, and the 1'-am s` head 1ady s slipper, a cunning little `member of the family, has been so -named on account `of its characteris- -tic horns.` The northern calypso ,'.is accorded` the place of honor among` our wild orchids,_ not only for its, eager desire to be first in the spring- but for its evanesccntcharm, that no portraiture has yet` been` `able `to ex- press. It- may be passed unobserved, - nestling `in? the inoss.
