var was like that of a rnn- ine tearing through a tunnel. or was littered with youngsters on their stomachs, and all baw!l- with an energy indicative that Amebody was hurting them. Long, slim, scratche:! upon slips of palm leaf, the equivalent of books in Burma, were spread be fore the scholars. Making the lads shout is the approved method of elementary instruction. When the master discovers any lagging in ling exercise, a lon:; switch begins to sing through the air. Quiet, serious study is exploded. The Burmese educationists argue that so jong as a boy is shouting his mind is occupied. When he is silent, he is certain to be scheming mischief. Therefore the Lest shouters are the best pupils —Trave!.

Spanish officers as well as men gener- ally incline t) cruelty and treachery. Here is a story in point, told by an ex- wllent authority:

‘In Alcala, the Guardia Civil—that is, one of the crack troops—was after a robber band. One of the robbers was caught. Being promised a full pardon, he gave away his comrades This man had no soover signed the paper that served as his death warrant for his late friends when tie officer in charge said, “We will begin with him.’ The robber Was immediate!y shot in the back of his bead.”

In 1870 Japaa was visited by a terri- ble epidemic of smallpox, which almost @ecimated Yokohama. Vaccination was made compulsory in 1896. The Japanese are said to bave been struck with the fact that pockmarked foreigners were rarely seen in Japan.

In the Bank of England there are many silver ingots which have lain un-

touched for nearly 200 years. =— : |

A VISIT TO. THE MAGDALENS

Their Population, Indus- tries and Requirements

A LAND OF CLEAR SKIES AND BEAUTIFUL TEMPERATURE.

A Primitive yet Noble-Souled People

—Description of the Isles.

ce

The municipal system of Quebec is in full vigor in the Magdalenes. Loca! con trol of roads, bridges, ferries, etc., and partial control in educational matters, works, as it should always work with ap intelligedt people, splendidly. The roade and bridges are not, therefore, zood or bad as you strike asettlement which sapr ris or opposes the Government of the day, and none of the poor man’s money is thrown away on jobs and election scandals, The Prefect of the Isles at present is Camille Delaney, Esq., a gentleman of the highest character and reputation, gradnat+ of St. Dunstan's College, whose Alumni do her honor in the great centres as we)! as inthe remote regions of the whole North Ameri- can continent.

The school system of the Magdalens is that of Quebec—a system which in late years bas secured a larger percentage of attendance at school within the ordinary schoel ages than any other system in Can- ada; and which is giving better results, we hesitate not to -ay, upon all that goes toensure a complete education to the child, than that of any other province The school houses, built and equipped by the muzicipality to which they belonz, are larger, more architecturally beautiful, and better kept than those of our ordinary Island country districts. They are con- structed according to plans furnished by the Dept. of Education at Quebec, and it is not permitted to two or three district mossbacks to erect at the cross roads of a rettlement an architectural monstrosity which willever be associated in the child’sa memory, in a rather unpoetic way, as “the school of my childhood.” We found the ecurse superior tothat of our common school also; the teachers in every way qualified for their work, and the pupils evincing a brightness and svap quite sur- prising iu remo @ places whilst retaining the charming naivete of the child and giving proo. of that edifying respect for superiors and modesty of de~>rum which, alas, is eo fast disappearing amongst us. In each Island these schools sro of casy access, the school district being much more restricted than here. Judicially, the Islands are served by Judge Belly, county court judge for Gaspe, and a corps of magistrates. Amberst is the judiciai sea; and the site of the empty jail.

The religion of the islands, needless to say is Catholic, although there are two small Anglican churches, ove at Amherst and the other at Grindstone, and a resi- dent minister at the latter place. This clergyman is under the Bishop of Quebce. There teing but a handful of non-Caiholice, his labours are comparatively easy. The Catholics of the Magdalens are noder the B.shop of Charlottetown, having been con- fided to his care from the early days of the erection of che diocese by the Catholic bishop of Quebec, when jurisdiction ran from side to side of Canada. They are formed into three larg: sod two smaller parishes. The old perish of Havre- aux Maisons, House Harbour, presided over by Rev. J. A. H. Blaquiere, a clever young Island clergymas, born at Rustico, and educated at Laval University, Quebec, who was nominated to that mission im

mediately after his ordination and before he had any ecclesiastical sins to expiate ; Etaug du Nord, G i dstone Isiand, presid- ed uver by the learned and el.qaent vicars

general, De Finance, # descendant of one of the best families of Frarce, aod for a numver of

years the idolized pastor of St. Augustine’s parish, Rustico, :n this Province; and Bassin aod Amberst on the Island of that name, presiced over by Rev. 8S. Isaac Theriault, with residence at Bassin, a native of the Islands, whose evergy, ability and public spiritedness are a by-word amongst his people.

The sisters of the Congregation de Notre Dame devote themselyes with much self- sacrifice to the education of girls in the fine convent under Father Blaquiere’s direc.ion at House Harbor. The nascent parish at Grand Entry is also in charge of this Zealous young priest. Herring,lobster,mackerel and cou fishing pursued in the order named, is the great industry of the Magdalene. The output of fi<h of all kinds is very large, even in

medical journals, and is sold by all drugyists at 60 cents a large bottle. Trial size 25 cents.

Harbour, Messrs. Alexie Arsenault and Frank Chevarie bave establishments with considerable trade at Low Point and South Beach. Mr Bivet, formerly of Binet and Chaissou, still cperates largely in fish, lumber, etc., and there are many other merchants, big and smell, all over tbe islands. When the American fleet comes in to baitin the pring, or after mackerel in summer, quite a brisk apd profitable trade is done in supplies. Of course goods are considerably dearer in the Islands than here, even f r freight, storage and boatage

of everthing coastitutes @ veritable “war

tax” all the time. The eteamer St, Olaf ’ -k :

Ops al criain pots ony and the

Mesers. Leslie are her agents. We were

credibly informed that these merchants ‘nsist on collecting wharfage and ware~ houseage on even the goods. the

owners receive directly from the sateam-~ eriuto tueir own scows. They are little autocrate in their way, too, and hence the general demand for a change in the steam~ er’a agencies. For example when we came up, the steamer was carrying a lot of furniture back which Mr. Leslie, 1» a mo~ ment of cusedness wouldn’t let the cap tain land because he had some’bing in his nose against ihe consignee. We also saw a bill of wharfage and storage on goods the owners, was ready to take from the ship's deck, if permitted upon which this grinding monopoly had made charges greater than the steamer’s freight from Pictou, after assuming the bill of the I. C. R. This is an_ intolerable st: 2 of affairs, and the patier

people of the Islands are looking for relief anda must assuredly have it. They also want an improved steamer service which will give All Right Island a landing at Low Point, reduce the freight and pas- senger rates, and give a faster rate of apeed. The St. Olaf is only making 7 knots now, and this is ioo slow altogether for even out of the way Magdalenes. Otherwise she ia a good boat and moat efficiently cap-~ tained and manned. What we remarked particularly was tbe orderly and noiselees way the crew worked. An oath, or as much as an impatient word we did not hear op the St. Olaf, coming or going, aod we watched the putting in and outof the cargo closely. Indeed the regulation bluster of Jack Tar was an entirele un

knowa quantity there. The crew are all French, like the master, Captain Le Maitre, a model Commander in every respect—careful, capable, and
