THE French Government, admonished by the comparative dearth of births, has decided to give certain advantages to fathers of more than seven children. A census has accordingly been taken, and the results are of an interesting character. It appears that there are: 2,000,000 households where there was been no child, 2,500,000 in which there was but one, 1,300,ocs two children, 1.500.000 three, about 1,600.coo four, 550,000 five, 330,000 six, and 200,000 seven or more.

J. R. Grimblem AN American correspondent states that new evidence of Chinese cunning was brought to light the other day in Chicago. He says that an Englishman exhibited an unusually valuable lot of unset pearls to an expert in those grms in that city, who bought for $1,500 a number of fine ones, apparently worth $5,000. On weighing them the purchaser found they weighed about four times more than they should. He finally took them to another expert and it was decided to break one of them. This was done, when it was found to be filled with lead. A second expert, who has lived in China, says the Chinese catch oysters and mussels, pry open the shells, and drop bullets into them. This causes irrita. tion and a regular layer of pearl is formed around the lead. We have only to add that this yarn comes direct from Chicago.

THE REV, A. G. GOLDSMITH
THE SUNDAY LABOR QUESTION,
ON
This great end cannot be obtained without Legislation, so that no one company should be driven to leeward because of the indifference of another company. It would not be fair to s shipowner who wished to give his officers and men their Sunday if he found other companies were working their ships without let or bindrance alongside of him. Legislation is needed, placing a prohibition on Sunday work except in cases of absolute necessity, when permission could be. obtained for that purpose. And this permission would include a money payment similar to that required for Sunday work in Bombay. Eg the 5. O. No. 1Poa of 23rd August 1881 runs as follows" Sunday working on board steamers in the harbour shall be permitted on payment, in addition to the ordinary charges at present levied [fz. overtime of Custom house officers] of a fet equal to a day's demurrage, subject to a mini- mum charge of Rs. 5o and a maximum charge of Rs. 200, for each ship on board of which work is carried on, Demurrage for this purpose to be calculated at the rate of 64-annas per ton of registered tonnage,"
Legislation can be effected with the assistance of the local Chambers of Commerce. The reply of Lard Knutsford to Lord Meath's question la the House of Lards on July 25th sufficiently indicates this. He said that he did not think it would be possible to put an end to Sunday work. generally in the Crown Colonies except through an anderstanding to that effect amongst the
Chamber of Commerce.
I send this short statement in response to your Secretary, wishing you success in your move- ment, which will doubtless gain the sympathy and respect of all fairminded people.

The Chairman said With your permission we will take the report as read. It has been in your hands for the past ten days and you have doubtless fully considered it. Our income and out goings vary very little from last year, but the balance of Profit and Loss accounts shews a shrinkage of $38,400-due almost entirely to the smaller balance carried forward last year as compared with the sum which our larger profit of 1887-1988 allowed us to carry over Your Directors have therefore reluctantly, and after much consideration, decided to recommend a general dividend of 13 per cent, as compared The with 20 per cent. usually declared. reduction, I fear, may be a disappointment to some of you, notwithstanding the notes of warning that I have annually uttered on. the three successive occasions that I have had the honor to preside at these meetings, Marine insurance business all over the world bas of late years been subject to abnormally keen competition, and the rates for Eastern business, in which as you are aware we are largely engaged, I need hardly tell you, have been an especial object, of attack. I am sorry that I am unable to record any actual im- provement; I believe, though, that the decline has at last been arrested, and that any change will be for the better. The year 1890 opened very badly, loss succeeding loss, and as our accounts are made up to the end of April, the present report has to bear the brunt of four bad months. Our sterling securities have been adjusted at 3/6, at which rate they have stood in our books since 1886.
