It is well known that the Hale of a great number of articles abroad depende upon the time of the year and that goods that do not mach their destination during the senson miss their market and are likely to be thrown upon the bands of the merchant in this coun- try by the forega importer Exportars here therefore generally stipulate for abip mant within abertain time or by certain steamers, and in order to carry out this part of the contract manufacturers are often compelled to have recourse to home labour. To attempt to fix the hours of work at home is looked upon as an absurdity, as women and children take it up at spare moments during the day and evening. It would only tend to make women seek employment in factories to a still greater extent than at present and to neglect their domestic duties, the very thing legislation desires to remedy,

In one of my letters some twelve months ago I mentioned that the State of Hamburg had by virtus of a treaty with Prussia dated the 14th Nov., 1908, soquired additional portions of the islands in the River Elbe.

TRE BILENCE OF THE KAIBÉE.

NEW TRATUER OF GERMANY'S INTERNAL POLITICA. The leading feature of the present political situation in Germany is the completo and re markable self-effacement of the Kaiser, which has been evident from the very beginning of the heated controversy now proceeding in regard to the franchino question in Prasis. The Kaiser, formerly the most prominent controversial politican in his country, has disappeared from party politics, and after thrusting himself into the very forefront of all current public disputes and faction rivairios for two decades, William II, has abandoned the habite and customs of a lifetime, and has enveloped himself in an im penetrable reservo.

The Kaisor's present rœserve stands in such striking contrast to the freedom with which he previously planged headlong into the strife of party politics that the whole character and per somality of his Imperial Majesty scoms to have changed within the last sighteen months. From the beginning of his reign in 1888 till 1908, the Kaiser delivered public speeches upon almost every subject under the sun, and many home and foreign policy
