I'ne Lazarett
De. Georer H. Fox, lecturer ou skin diseases, at the College ot Physicians and Surgeons of New York, recently paid a visit to the Tracadie Lazaretto, N. is for the purpose of to better purpose the various phases of leprosy and to utilize the knowledge gained, in his own practice In the beginning of the century there were about 100 cases in the neighborhood of Tracadie. A hospital was built on Sheldrake Island, a short distance from Tracadie especially for lepers. This hospital was abandon- ed in 1849 for what known a: the shore hospital, which is under the
studying
ig now supervison and care of some Sisters of Charity from the Hotel Dieu in Moctreal :—
“Tt would be well, said Dr. Fox, to have a specialist at the lazaretto to study this disease, concerning which so little is known; but the policy of the Government seems to be not to cure it, but to stamp it out. Many of the patients have the worst form of leprosy—tubercular leprosy or leontiasis—so called because large bunches often form over the eyes, giving the patient s lionlike, brutal expression. It is fright- ful to be in a room surrounded by such lepers. The mascular lepers merely have bronze patches over the body. I never heard of so curious a case as that of the old woman who was on Sheldrake Island. When she dies it will be of old age, and not of leprosy. Thirty years ago she was dis- charged as cured, but she came to the lazaretto with new symptoms, not many years ago.
‘Physicians are divided in opinion as to whether lepers should be isolated, or treat- ed in hospital or in private practice. Some think there should be a law regarding lepers a3 strict as that which applies to small-pex patients. That the disease is hereditary is certain. The peculiar aspect of the cases at Tracadie shows that. True, an infant was born of a leper woman in the lazaretto which escaned the disease. But then it may skip a generation. My opinion is that, though the disease is hereditary, it is not dangerously contagious. But while I be- lieve it is contagious by inoculation, I do not think it is infectious. Consequently | think it is perfectly safe to treat lepers in hospitals, and do not think a lazarette is necessary. I see no harm in treating or- dinary cases of leprosy in private practice.”

As Others See Us. Tue Glasgow Evening Times, of August 4th, has the Prince Edward Island :—
**Prince Edward Island was once called St. Jean, but that was when the French held it. It was given its present name in honor of the Duke of Kent. Indeed, the Island is blessed with any amount of royal names, exclusive of its own. There is Charlottetown, called after Queen Char- lotte of course; and then there are the three counties into which it is divided— King’s, Queen’s and Prince. The popu lation is 108,000, of whom 45,000 ere Seotch, 25,000 [rish, 10,000 French,
following short article on
21,000 English, and the remainder of various nationalities, though, comically
enough, the vast majority were born on the island, and are therefore Canadians. But then the census says different—a fact which does not at all tend to homogeneity or the making up of a great Canadian nation, in which origins and jarring races will have been forgotten. Of the entire population 95,000 were born inthe island. As regards religion, there are about 60,000 Protestants and 47,000 Catholics,and it can be said with truth there is not much dissension among the creeds. Prince Edward Island might fur- nish a noble example of tolerance and good- will to other parts of Canada that I could name. It is a misfortune connected with the Island that people in Canada generally know as little and as much of 1t almost precisely as they know ot New Zealand, although it is one of the Provinces of Con- federation. Some people know somewhow that it is an Island lying in some gulf, whether St. Lawrence or the Gulf of Mexico they seek not to inquire, as it hardly matters; others have heard that it is part rock and part iceberg, connected with Labrador, whose inhabitants eke out a miserable existence by fishing for cod. The truth about it is, that it is one of the most fertile and beautiful spots on the earth’s surface. The grass is as green as the immortal shamrock of Tom Moore. [reland alone excepted, the grass in Prince Edward Island is greener than in any part af the world. When it is added that you can buy Nova Scotia coal for $2.25a ton, and goed lumpers of potatoes for twenty- five cents per bushel, you may guess that living is not hard, and that poverty is un- known on the Island.

The Shaw Bros. Failure.
The statement of Shaw Bros., submitted to their creditors, show their liabilities to be $7,500,000, instead of 3,500,000, as first stated. Whatever losses the banks and others interested would have met with, had the liabilities been as first stated, will now be doubled. The fact is that this is one of the worst commercial collapses of the decade. The Boston Traveller Says: “‘A very remarkable exposition of the firm’s affairs was expected at the meeting of the creditors of F. Shaw & Bros., but the reality was far ahead of the expectation. Never since the exciting time of 1857, when the suspension of specie payment was dis- cussed in the merchants’ exchange news room, has there been so large an attend- ance of capitalists, bankers, bank presi- dents and business men, for one common purpose as that in the shoe and leather ex- change yesterday. Had the real magnitude of the failure been suspected, the spacious room of the exchange would have been crowded, The attendance of bank presi- dents from all parts of New England was evidence of how widely scattered had been the paper of the insolvent firm. When Mr. Piper, the expert, read his statement, the astonishment of the assombly was visible. Had not the statement of the direct and contingen! liabilities been so appalling, and taken pariies so greatly by surprise—-eyen those wed they new the worst | featurce—thece would undoubtedly have | been an exviting
