The Teacher.
One cause of the low standing of the teacher's calling is lack of extended professional training. Professions easily entered are not usually highly respect- ed. The medical profession has been eited as an illustration. Not long ago, when one could be a physician without special training, the profession was not very highly esteemed. Now, when ex- tended training is demanded both by public opinion and by law, the profes- sion is respected as one of the highest. In like manner the teaching profession would undoubtedly increase in favor were training of s high order demand- ed. In fact, we find the respect for the profession varying 1n different countries and in diffeMent ,rades of the school system almost in direct ratio to the education and professional training re- quired of candidat.s.—Forum.
Loose clothes and lowny cushions bring only a negative sort of comfort to the woman who is suffer ng with some disease or derangement of the organs distinctly femine. Some cleties and some position make the pain and the discomfort seem less. Perhaps the nerves are most-affected and this in turn disturbs the digestion, Nothing will ever comp etely relieve but aradical cure. The start of so called “female complaints’ may be avery slight thing indeed. It may be that in the be- ginning some smal! hygienic measures wouid stop the trouble. Certainly at this time a litile bit of the right medicine would stop it. When the trouble becomes worse it is harder to cure,biut still it can be cured Dr. Pierce’a Favorite Prescription will positively cure any trouble of this charac- ter. [t may be absolutely relied upon. It affords lasting relief to a woman » hose natural modesty hes kept her from con- eulting a physician.

Powder is more eco- nomical than cream of tartar and soda for raising biscuit, bread and cake. First, be- cause of its great leavening strength, which makes it go farther; second, be- cause its work is |~evenly perfect, so that no good materi- als are wasted; third, because it makes food that is more nutriti- ous and wholesome, economizing health. Government Ana- lyst Valade of On- trio says that Royal Baking Powder should be used in every household.

—Description of the Isles.
|
Just at this season of the year, no more enjoyable outing could be planned than a trip to the Islands to the north of us known as The $Magdalens. Manyatime have we heard of those Islanis when a youngster {in the East as about the last place 0. earth to be selected forasummer resort. Cold, bleak, barren, impoverished rocks they were designated, upon which a certain class of human being: dragged out a miserabie existence simply because they could got get off them ;— or because there a favorable sitnation was afforded for the prosecution fishing opera- tions to which some must certainly devote their lives. Tothe young,Catholic clerics too, they have been, held up as a terrible place of exile, well calculated to bring out the most Apostolic virtnes or serve as a sort of limbo for the expiation of almost any ecclesiastical indiscretion. Occasionally some Stray votary of pleasure has come
way Canadian archipelago and raved about its beauty and the real pleasures there to be enjoyed in summer; but few there were to give the story credence. The victim of such false impressions, and how many of them always beset us, what was our surprise and delight, then, when business and a needed change of air conspired to
ago, to find a place of such beauty and charm and repose as wonld defy the pen of a poet or the brush of a painter to ac-
sky, green bounding wave, high, grey, blue aod red cliffs laved by white breakers in» terchanging regularly, verdant meadows and gently ascending mountains, equally verdant tothe very summits and dotted over with nerds of sleek kine; cosy, com~ fortable and always well-lined cottages, surrounded by gardens, stretching in an
almost unbroken line from end to end of the Islands. Great and small factories perched
posts of Eotry, Grand Entry, Byron Is-
Couuiless white~winged clipper fishing smacks careering away into the distance until they are no Jarger to the eye than the milk-white ‘ganet with sable tipped wings and eagle mien, which ever bears them company; the Lalmost é¢x'inct pinky, which to the uninitiated is represented as reversible, the more pretentious coaste:; the graceful, fleet and wellsmanned “ Cape Anner” bearing away seaward afier securing the season’s bait or riding at anchor in Pleasant Bay; the countless sea birds circling in the ‘ circumambient air gathered in myriads upon the numerous sand bars, swimming stately in the great lagoons or splitting the wave in search of their prey; the round towered lighth suse standing sentinel on every promontory or the more majestic church with its tall, cross~crowned spire, ever pointing poor exiled ‘man to his home in Heaven, and holding out to him the blessings of the tedemption all go to make a picture well calculated to charm the eye, and eatiate, in so far as natural beauty can, the huan.soul itself.
AS it is true that the most beautiful flowers often bloom on the most barren places of the earth, 80 it i# aleo trne that a kind Providence generally bes'ows more real and satisfying natural charms and purer joys upon an isolated people than upon those whose lot, according to the world, is cast in pleasanter linee.

The Officers Quarters on Board a Man-of-war.
WHERE ALL HAVE THEIR SOCIAL BEING,
Nava\ Etiquette on Board a Fight- ing Ship.
The wardroom ona man-of-war is the living place of all the older officers of the ship, with one exception, the com- manding officer. He lives by himself, has his own cabins, his own mess, his own servants. Naval etiquette and cus- tom have established this habit of isola- tion for the man on the ship who has command of all the rest. The reason is undoubtedly to be found in the very fact that he represents extraordinary power. Under these circumstances any attempt to forget the superiority of his rank by means of a common cabin or messrcom for him and his subordinates would ‘only result in embarrassment on both sides.
This does not mean that he may not be sociable, for much depends upon the man. Butit is safe to say that any show of effusiveness among those who live abaft the mast must come from his side, if he wishes it to be general. The situa- tion is a delicate one.
In the freer air of the wardroom we find from 10 to 20 officers living togeth- er, the number varying with the size of the ship. Theirages may range from 25 to 50, and they are of all ranks above
that of naval cadet, and of all corps. Engineer officers, line officers, medical officers, marine officers, one pay officer and one chaplain, may all be included
beautiful and fertile; the Magdalens are more beautiful and still more fertile. Many would not supply us with a more perfect connecting link with the mainland than the rather broken and necessarily un- satisfactory line of the daily steamer, al-~ leging the physical and moral superiority of our people as a result of our eplendid | isolation. There may be something in \ this contention, too; and if anything in it as to us, certainly much more as to the peo- ple of the Magdalens. Whether true | not, however, we must not fail to dec are here that the inhabitants of these northern
| islands are a fine-looking, well-developed, |
and robust race, thoroughly God-fearing, |
moral and contented—a people as pure as | the air they breathe. Just one unmistake- able proof, en pessant. We have tie authority of the Cureof La Magdalene for | the statement that such a thing as an il-' leg tmate birth hasnot occurred in his par- | isi within the memory of living man, The average Magdalener is born, lives outa lengthy existeuce, and sinks into! av Lonoredand hallowed grave, without seeing any more than the outlines of the great world abouthim ina dim glimpee of Cape Bretom or Prince Edward Island, taken from the highest peak of his native hills, or, nearer, from the deck of his staunch fishing smack as he tempts farther and farther the wave in pursuit of his fiony plunder.

in the wardroom of a large ship. These men live in staterooms arranged about a common space, which is known as the ‘‘wardroom country.’’ This assumption of a space of prairielike dimensions is comparatively truthful in the cramped quarters ofa ship. In this ‘‘country’’ exists the social life of the wardroom. Here these men of varied callings, yet allof the sea’s following, live, move and have their social being.
A day spent in a wardroom by a land- lubber would reveal many interesting diXerences between naval officers and their brethren on shore. To begin with, they are more cosmopolitan in their speech. The men in our wardrooms are gathered together from all parts of the Union. Local discussions find but an uninterested audience, or even a derisive one, so that a naval officer gets accus- tomed to speak and think of all the. 45 states as belonging equally to him. Out- side of his own country he is so great a traveler that very few civilians can keep up with the way he skips in conversa- tion from China to Peru or to Tasma- nia. Other characteristics that are

quickly noticeable are his simplicity, his cheerfulness and his heartiness. The wardroom is constantly resounding with laughter. The men in it are healthier than men who live in houses. They get up earlier in the morning and go to bed earlier at night. Most of our wardrooms are bustling with officers at 7 o’clock in the morning.
A glance at the breakfast table shows the senior line offiter presiding, and the other officers placed near him according te rank. At the other end of the table is the man who has been elected by his messmates to direct the catering of tie mess. Between this early meal and the breakfast proper, which comes at half past 11 or 22 o’clock, there is not muck life in the wardroom, for the daily mii- itary routine is full of drills and exer- cises which keep most of the officers om deck. There are drills with groat guns and with small arms, drills in clearing ship for action, drills in handling am- mtnition and many others—all of them
) rooted im the one idea that you must
preserve your own life by destroying that of your enemy.
As soom as an officer returns to tire wardroom from one drill and begins a conversation or perhaps hums a song be is interrupted by the bugles on deck and must buckle on his sword and returm to another drill.
At every call to quarters all officers must report themselves ready for duty. The chaplain and paymaster, having much less to do with drills than the other officers, are nsually the first te be back in the wardroom, where there is other work for them. The medical offi- cer has gone forward to the sick bay to look after his patients.
When the midday breakfast comes, there is the first breathing space for a little leisure and relaxation. But the drills for the day are not yet over, and at 1 o’clock the bustle is resumed throughout the ship. A sudden call may come for collision drill, or fire drill, or battalion drill. If at sea, a floating tar- get may be dropped overboard, and for an hour the ship be shaken from stem to stern by the discharge of guns. From 3 to 5 o’clock in the afternoon there is generally a respite from work, and the wardroom begins to show signs of be- ing a home. Some in it are reading or writing, others are smoking or playing games or loafing. Still others are in their rooms taking the seaman’s after- noon Nap. and exercises come again.
By 6:30 o’clock there is a feeling that one can sit down and dine without fear of interruption. The mess es a whole is now gathered together, and the meal is generally a thoroughly enjoyable ard delightful affair. After it is over there are cigars, games, music, or the rigkt to withdraw within oneself without ex- citing remark. By 10 o’clock most of these sailors are in bed, but even now the drills may not be over. At midnight the bugles may sound, and in two min- utes all the ship’s company be rapidly making ready for an enemy.—New York Post.
