THE POINT

Te point upon which the lagest diepute t Britain and Russia turns is Tien-Tein. By that treaty

ig guaranteed, as to China, ‘equality of opportunity” with every other power, But Russia. bas attempted monopolize the railway traffic of Nortbern China by diverting trade from Newchwang to Ts-Lien~Wan, the western terminus of

the great trans-continental railway. Not- withstanding her protestations, at the

time of takiny over her Chinese ports, that

she would not interfere with the “open ; door” policy of Great Britain, Russia has made Port Arthur a closed port and has placed in @ position to bamper Britich trade at Ta-Lien~Wan. , move hae bee

‘ British capitalists. [ts importance con-

side, the importance of Newch wang will be destroyed unless the British capitalists

AS OTHERS SEE US. Pictures of Home by an Impartial Hand.

Mies Katie Westlake Yeigh, writing to the Toron'o Globe, gives some impressions of Ler visit to Prince Edward Island. S e says: “Though wave-washed on every side, itis a peaceful, placid land, with a coil that makes farmiog a pastime, and a population thatis equable in temperament and eminentiy self-satisfied. They have the independence characteristic of an in- sular people, and an air, not so much as owning the earth, asbeing the earth.

The island has no extremes of summer heat, ani for the world-wora sojourner there is quiet and rest by the cool sea beaches, or in the somnolent interior—a Lotos~land, where the days might siip by in sSlumberous ease.

The scerery is not grand in any sense, but it is pleasing, much of it reminding one of rural England, and the color eftects are beautiful, Toe tine waterstretches— arms Of the sea, tidal rivers, creeks with their red banks crowned with vivid green, the deep, innocent blue of the summer sky flecked with tiny fleecy clouds, like down from the angels’ wings, the deep dark hue of the waters, make charming pictures everywhere. And alongthe country roads or flying by on the narrow-gauge rails of the Island railway, with its bewildering twists and turn-, the landscape de- velops its Ar.adan char. ter. A daisy carpeted field, where the cows ruminate iu iD & sweet-smelling clover, pink and white; a dark red summer fallow; an orchard in the hoilow, a billside dotted with baby evergreeps like little green-clad ladies playing equat-tag; « waviog hayfield ready for the sickle, a piece of half-cleared bush, where the long-tailed lambs and their mothers fiad pilav and pasture, and, prevadiog all,a dreary, drowsy atmos- phere of comortabie tranquility.

Charlottetown is beautifully situated as to waterfront, but has a rather flat, dingy | appearance. So mapy of the buiidings | are of wood that has long thirsted for the | paint brush, and the flat-roofed, shingled | houses, guiltless of eave, or other break, or projection, are somewhat inartistic. Shingles are used greatly all through the Maritime Provinces, clapped on _ roof, sides, froot and back in unsightly unis formity. The roadways in Charlottetown are inclined to be dusty, and the sidewalke, when not of earth or of gravel, are chiefly of planks Jaid lengthwise; not acrose, as with us. Business clusters around the public square, where, surrounded by flower beds and green sward, stand the legislative building, with its diminutive chamber, the court house, postoffice and market.

* * >

There is a beautiful drive following t! e East River out to the attractive little park. Phe roadway is wiie, perfectiy smooth, and built close to the water, within souod and smell of its bright salt tide. The out~ spread view of harbor, up river vista and rolling land ofthe farther shore is very fine. Thewater front, more than any- thing, holds the interest of the inland tras vellera, the frolic of tne tides the treasnre~ huniing of the beaches, the fun cf a eal: dip, the pleasure of watchirg the sport of the small folk. A dozen boys, barefooted and trouser‘ess, were out in the red mud of the harbor at low tide, sinking deep into the slimy, sea~weedy ooze, digging down acd fishing some black object up with their ‘oes, Ocetoywholadclinb dup n a tipped-over scow was making his simp.e toilet, and when I called to him to know what the boys were looking for he leoked at me with evident disdain and answered, * Cow-’awks,”

| Didn't Call Her Mary.

It is said that the native servants in Hawaii used to call their mistresses by their first names. An English woman of strong will determined on her arrival in Honolulu that her servants should never call her Mary and instructed them carefully in the presence of her husband. One day, when she had visit- ors, her cook put his head in at the drawing room door and politely in- quired :

‘‘ What vegetables for dinner today, my. love?’’

He had heard her called that and seemed proud of remembering not to say Mary.—New York Tribune.

—Mail ana Empire: The geograptica! distribution of prohibitien sentiment is made the plainer by the circumstance that the Government has ord: rei the old organ in Toronto to favour the principle in a tentative half-and-half sort of way, and

the ergar in Quebec to oppose it violently.

Montreal Gazette: A physician who hae examived many U. 8. army recruits, found that young farmers failed most frequently among those who could not show sufficir nt lung expansion, the mimivum of which for acceptance was two inches. City youths seldom fel] short in this respect. It would seem that country work does not develop someofthe physical powers as much as might be expected. The farmers. should take deeper inhalations of their healtlsziving air.

—Cuptains of the eh'ps trading with Montreal and usingthe Straits of Belle Isle route, are signiog a petition to the Government, asking for the extension of the gulf telegraphic service to Belle Isle. This request, is all things considered, a reasonable one, and we hope tbat the Gov- ernment will grant it.
