MILTON AND RUSTICO.

Archdeacon Reagh reports the erection of a new church, the work on which was satisfactorily completed by the Mechanics M anufacturing Company, of Summerside, under Mr. H. A. Crozier. The new church is a beautiful, substantial and convenient structure, the design being that

of Mr. W.C. Harris. jr, A. R.C. A. A considerable debt remains, and contribu- tions towards ite payment will be thank fully received. The work at Rustico bus been somewhat interfered with, but the | indications are uow favorable. in this connection the Archdeacon acknowledges the belp he bas received from Mr. 38. Neleon »bo has sole charge of the Sunday School during the summer ana bas proven himeelf to be a faithful ca nest and vaiusble’ worker lhe total amount raised in the parish last year was $2131.21 Besides this valuable contributions tothe new church

were made by Mr. and Mre G.D. Long

worth, St. Paul’s Loyal Circle of Dangh- erof the King, and others. CHERRY VALLEY.

This parish has lately been under tine pastcra arge of the Rev. J. T. Bryan, Rector o¢ St. Paul’s, Charlottetown; and services have been held once a fortnignt. These services have been well attended Still, an a arrangement which makes no

of the Holy

provision for celebrations pariehoners in

Communion, visiting the their homes, ministering to the sick and afflicted, to say nothing of other things dossibleonly toa reeident clergyman, can never be & success.

ST. PAUL'S, CHARLOTTETOWN,

tev. J. T. Bryan reports that the various parochial organizations bave conjinued iv act've operation during the psst year. The Sunday School has been well maintained by earnest teachers. A missionary lesson is taught once a month, and all the child- ren’s Offertories$sre devoted *to missions. A bible woman is supported in India, a echool for heathen children in China, and many other gifts have been made to domestic meetings. The Gleaner’s Union continues its monthly missions and the Leyal Circle of the King’s Daughters continues its active interest in all that con- cerns the we'fare of the parish. A good work is being dove by the Dorcas Society and the district visitors. But more work is needed om the partof the men.

ST. PETER’S CATHEDRAL.

Rev. James Simpson reports the usual encouragements and drawbacks, and trusts that general progress bas been made.

After the reading of the reports the following resolution, moved by the Rev. J.M. Forbes and seconded by the Rev. J. W. Godfrey was unanimously adopted :

“That the reporte as read be adopted and printed under the direction of the Executive Committee for distribution to subscribers; and that the present officers and members of the Executive Committee being subscribers, be re-elected for the ensuing year, the following being aided— William Andrew, Philip Bagnall, George Tweedie, A. B. Mellish, Capt. W. H. Jackson, all delegates elected in the several parishes to attend as lay re- presentatives at the Church Convention also.

GEORGETOWN.

The Rev. J. W. Godfrey reports that

cfore his arrival the parish was in a thoroughly unsettled state; but judging by the heartiness of the services,the increased attendance andthe interest ehown in the charch, work is vow going on satisfactor- ily. The Sunday-School has been re opened, a small litrary has been formed, and arealing room for men and boys— all who behave themselves—has beea opened. During the Rector’s absencs at Souris on alternate Sundays, services are conducted by the jay reader.

SOURIS.

Rev. J. W. Godfrey reports continued encouraging progress. The people are thoroughly zealous~an ¢xample in this respect for other parishes. Services have been conducted un the alternate Sundays by Capt. W. H. Jackson,of Boston. The interior of the church was repaired last summer and a handsome Communion rail presented by Capt. Jackson.

Notes on

the Holidays.-In the General Post Office.

The holidays and their consequent | merry making, are now over. Christmas in “Old England” does not naturally differ from the Canadian one. There | mav be more display of holly, evergreen and mistletoe, Rat there is the same

decorating of shopa, churches and houses, the same buying and sending of presents, hanging of stockings, the preparing of the

Christmas dinner with its attendant turkey and pudding. The worry and trouble cou- nected with buying and sending of present | mars toa great extent the pleasures of this otherwise joyfai season, and I have heard {many eay witha sigh of relief, “thauk | eoodness that it is all over for avother year!” To the porer classes, more than to any One else, perbaps, does it come as a relaxation and a blessing. They have two holidays, Christmas day and the succeed- og day,so that fortwo whole days they are free from work in the over-crowded

factoriestand workshops. During those days hey may be found iv large numbers in the Museums and otber free places of amu e- ments. In the side street they gather in groups around the street pianos and while away hours dancing merely to_ its shrill mutic, Men, women and children will join in, and the lanes and alleyways re- echo with their merriment. Fortwodays the nsnally crowded streets are all but de- serted, the ovly carriages to be seeu are a few bussesandcabs. The third day dawos and London becomes once again the busy crowded, noisy city.

The amount of money spent annually in the reparingand building in London is enormous. One of the latest improve- ments, contemplated involves the expen- diture of fiveanda half million pounds sterling. Itis proposed to widen South- hampton Row and Highstreet, Keneington, and build e new etreet from Halburn to the Strand. This latter 1s very necessary as the only straight street between these two points is Chancery Lane, near the Jaw courte,

One is neverat loss in London for a place at which to spend a few hours. The trouble is that there are so many places 10 choose from ‘that it is, at times, hard to decide which to visit first. A few days ago it was my privilege to be taken through the general post office. Tickets for the purpose were obtained for us through the courtesy of Mr. Colmer, of the Canadian High Commissioner's office. I cannot speak too higbly of this gentleman. Cana- dians visiting London generally return deeply indebted to him for many favors.

As many of your readers know, the tele - graph in Eagland is under government contract and forms part of the post office system. The general post office com- priees three large buildings and has a siaff of over 12,000.

The telegraph building is civided into five principal departments; the city, the inland, the cable, the tickers and tbe air tube department. Tokeep these in run niug order 5,500 operators and clerks are employed, and the work goeson day and night. The air tube system extends over the city proper and The Strand, and facili- tates the (rapemission of messages.

For example, atelegram is received from Liverpool : insteed of being rep2ated to the post office address by tl-graph it is placed in the air tube and forwardcd. These and many other interesting features are explained by the guide. But we must now pass to the mail departmeat, where a new guide takes charge of us.

It 18 now six o'clock; and as between five and eight o’clock is the busiest time of the day we have an opportunity to ob- serye the systematic way in which the thousands of bags of mailare disposed of. I may firstinform vou tbat over three millions of letters pass through the general post office in a day, and of theseover one third are received and sorted between five and eight o’clock in the afiervoon.

First, then, the bags of maii are brought in and emptied on long tables. On each side of these stand a row of clerks. Their duty is first to separate the large envelopes from thef-mal] ones. This is done for the convenience of the stampers. Now those envelopes are gathered upin bundles, so that the addreseess face downwards. These bundles are then passed over to the stampers, who stamp them at the rate of about one hundred per minute. They are then passed over tothe ‘rst staffof sorters, who put them in a general way only, that is according as they are for London, Wales, Scotland, lieland, the Continent or America. These in turn are pasred on to the particular sorters who assign them to the different cities.

No time is lost in disciph ering addresses. If it cannot be made‘out at sight, the letter is placed aside and sent to the expert, whore duty it is to make them out and in many cases even to guess them. Any of those that are remarkable are copied in # book kept for that purpose and shown to visitors. There you see addressess in every conceivab'e form. Sometimes it must be deciphered from a series of pictures, sometimes jt is mearly a pen and ink picture of the man to whom the |+tter is sent, but oftener it is the bieroglyphics of » poor writer and worse speller. A few which I still remember will give you an idea of the experiments necessary to tied out the rea) address.

“The Queen, Bu bam Palas ste,m ham to pore.”

Another correspondent was very patri- otic and wrote the whcleot “God Save the Queen” and nothing else on the envelope.

A letter with nothing but a pen and ink picture of Mr. Sala, the billiard player, on the énvellope, was delivered to him. Some one had evidently recognized the likeness,

Guesswork was necessary to identify “Cocks and Hens Street” as being “Poultry Street,” London,

We were not told to whom the letter addressed, to“ Mr. Smith or any eder in intaligen Smi:h in Londou” was delivered,

of eufticient inteligence was no doubt found.

Mr. Jobin Lunnon, was delivered to the person who lived on High Holborn, the simi’aaity is most etriking aft r you have hearda_ thorougbred Cock ney pro- nousce High Holborn,

A letter addressed “gone out with motber wi}] be back soon,” found its way to the dead letter offic , the expert refusing 10 become a mind reader.

Lastly, we were assured that a letter ad - dressed to the sailor, who is to go en board the good ship at 3 o’clock this after- noon was delivered to him when he stepped op board.

You will see from the above the care

and trouble taken to supply the deficiency of careless or illiterate correspondents, * Noven.ber snd December have been ex- ceptionally free from fog, but rain has fal- len in great quantities. The only time it is safe to be without an umbrella is when you are under a substantial roof. The temperature continues very mild, and we have had no frost as yet.

The new penny stamps are looked on by many here as a huge joke They thiok that Canada is trying to swell itself up to make it appear that it is large, and people are very incredulous when told that it is larger thas Kurope.

All that is not known here about Can- ada would fi!l volumes.

This brings to my mind the prejudice that exisis here against Canadian beef. Something Jike 100,000 head of cattle were exporte! to thie country from Canada last year, and yet no butcher wil! acknowledge eelling Canadian beef, They sell nothing but “beat English.”

I lately overheard the following con~ versation at a restaurant. One man had

it but itapparently was not fat enough to suit the Englishman’s taste ; for he made avery sour face and asked the waiter whether or not it was Eaglish beef. On being assured that it was, he remarked to his veighbour;—“One can never tell what you get In these restaurants, I really be-. lieve that they give us Canadian beef and pass it off for best Enoglish.”” Where- upoo the other remarked. “Oh yes quite true Canadian cattle are, brought over here shown the English grass, killed and then sold as English beef.” Having thus de- livered themselves, they set to work to demolish their roaste without further remarks.

On making enquiries as to the caus? this prejguive I find thatagreat many p2ople are under the impression that cattle are seasick oO the vovage across the Atlantic,

Of course this is all nonsense, as cattle are bot subject to fsea-sickness, But yon can’t persuade the ordinary English-~ manof this fact. But if they continue ppating at the present rate they must soon

earn that any difference that exists is in tavor of the Canadian animal.
