The annual examination and closing |

| exercises of the Souris Convent took p'ace | | on Wednesday afternoon in the presence of |

a large number of parents, friends and clergymen of surronnding districts. The examination in’ the afternoon was con- idneted by Revs. A.J. McIntyre, A. P.

McLellan, F. McDonald, Dr. Walker, Messrs. G. P. McDougald, Culles, Camp- bell] and Dr. MeLellan, who expressed themselves in very complimentary terms to both teachers and pupils, In the evening @ rare treat was in. store for those furtune to be present, in the shape of an excellent programme rendered in true professional style. The rendering of the programme in itself was a true indication of the thoroughness with which the good Sisters performed their arduous duties, and the people of Souris may congratilate themselves on the efficient staff at present in their couvent. While the rendition of the programme was near perfect’oa, I cannot omit to mention the marvellons execution of that enchant- ing piece *Thalburg’s Last Rose of Sum- mer,” by Miss Belle Isle. I have had the pleasure on many occasions of being present at similar exercises in some of our largest cities, but never did I hear any- thing to equal the rendering of that beautiful production, The following is the

General Dow, the prohibition champion of Maine, said a few days ago: “The pol- ice of Portland are more corrupt, in com- yarison to the wealth and population of | the city, than the police of New York. The price for protecting the illegal grog- shops is reportedd to be $40,000 a month, while sometimes as high as $100,000 is paid. “The courts,” he said, “are con- taminated by the way in which they han- dle the liquor cases. Some of the judges, after a conviction is secured in their court, have the case placed on file, not to be called un unless on a special order by the court. Ic was uvt alwaye this way under prohibition, but during the past three or four months the matter has been getting from bad to worsé.”

ENGLISH ONES ner aene

A Consideration of the Question by One in ® Position to Know-—An_ Interesting Problem Being Settled by the Law of

Evolation.

The differences in the social life and customs of the Scotch and English nations are gradually disappearing. Among the upper class, and even the well-to-do mid die class, it would be difficult to detect any distinctive features greater than are to be found between one county and another. But the working people, peasants, and, above all, the farmers, cling tenacionsly to the habits consecrated by their forefathers. Thus, iv a farmhouse in Scotland and one in Enyland, not more than a hundred miles apart, we find the style of working very different. This is especially the case with the wives, The most notable differ- euce is that the Scotch guidwife works very much harder than her ee sister. This is to be explain bihat Scviland emerged from barb 4 some two or three hundred years later than Eng- land. All semi-barbarons people make the women do the hardest work; the men reserve their strength for fighting. One would think, arguing yer that the weaker sex ought to have the lighter labor, especially as the bearing and rear- ing of children devolves upon them. This is recoguized more and more asa people becomes more civilized; but in the days when fighting—war—was a sacred duty, even when not a necessity, the tilling of the soil and all field labor was left to the women. We read how a Highland gillie thought it something of a disgrace to handle a spade or follow aplongh. It was unbecoming the dignity of a man. Now that they are no longer allowed to carry a dirk, and it is dangerous for them to fight out their clan’s quarrels, the lazy damestic habit still clings tothem. Even in this century the Highland women carry the manure to the fields on their backs, dug the soil, and carried home the produce; while the men, when they were not fish ing, or hunting, or stealing, loafed about.

Of course, the Lowlanders are a more civilized race, and it is long since they out - grew soch barbarous habits. Suiill, in the J Lowland counties, I venture to think that the farmers’ wives—with some exceptions —ihave a harder life than the farmer him self. Certainly they undertake much more work than the women doin England. To begin with, in the Southern country the men ustally take-charge of the byre and the milking. Often a cowman is kept, and always a cowboy. The master himself probably milks, or cne of thesons—in fact, the milking chiefly devolves upon the men. It is not common for the mistress to go to the byre at all, and the daughters, per- haps, help only in hay-time or harvest. This is of the North of England that I speak. Now, in most Scotch byres I have seen, the milking is done entirely by wo- men, the mistress herself leading the way and keeping the others up to the mark. This means in summer time some hours’ hard labor every day, for we all know that one cannot milk well and take one’s exse. Then it is also very trying; fora milker is not of much use whe cannot be depended upon night and morning. If the mistress goes a-visiting, she must be ‘‘hame to the milkin’.” The propriety of this is so acknowledged that her hosts never ask her to stay. Perhaps, when she bas grown-up sons and danghters, and her sore battle is over, she can say—*'{’m weel aff, there's plenty without me;” but, from force of habit, when she is at “home she takes her stool and her pail with the rest.

I have never seen the mistress or daugh- ters in England go out to the fields to work; they do very well if they send the girl to help with thehay. But in the Land o’ Cakes the farmer expects his daughter to work cut hay-time and hairst, and they seem rather to like the opportunity of don- ning aclean jupe and a sun-bonnet. I have heard my mother tell that in the jast generation it was quite common for the servant lass to be ont all day after break- fast till milking-time; no one left in the house but the mistress to make the cheese, attend to the dinner, wash up, and attend t> the children, One, more ambitions to shine than the athers, would put the veget- ables in the broth, lock the door, and go out herself for an hour or two, leaving the field » quarter of an hour before the others to feed the pigs and have the broth on the tatle. Those who knew her say she was always running at her work, with her bare feet even in winter. She paid the penalty later in life, being deformed and stiff with theamatics Oue Il know, who is now a bright, cheery woman of 60, has often told me that when a young wife with her first baby, a sucking infant, the lasa went out to the fields, and she was left with the cheese aud all the housework. She says it required perfect health and a strong body. Even with these the life was hard. I should think it was!

But the guidwives themselves, far from regarding this state of things as a hard- ship. prided themselves on the amount and speed of their work. Their ambition was ty do “twa weemen’s wark.” Who- ever couldn’ tdo that was a ‘‘saft sumph,” ora ‘‘tumphie.” I: must have been wae days for those who were delicate, and I suppose there would be a few here and there who were unfit for that sort of thing, though I heard a worthy woman, whose niece had been ailing a little, exclaim in a dissatisfied tone—‘‘We never were no-weel when we were young.”

When these worthy souls met together for a gossip, they laid wagers how many cakes they could put out in an hour, how much work they could do in a day, and re- tailed toeach other tales of the feats of women who had made their names famous for being clever—i.e, phenomenal work- ers. The chief objection to thie way of thinking was that excellence was necessar- ily confined to the physically strong. We are not eniBctentiy amended yet in that re-

t,

One day in an English house I heard a farmer's wife commented upon. She had almost a miraculous number of children, the eldest of them twelve. Qhe kept no servant, and was altogether a most won- derful housewife, keeping house and children in perfect order with her own hands. Most of the women were inclined to doubt her powers, but I remembered several cases of Scotch wives who would have thought that a comparatively easy life. But I did not say so—they would not have believed me.—Gretchen, in the Scottish Farmer.

Says:

A well-known PHYSICIAN RECOMMENDED

Skoda’s -Discovery

for my wife, which she has taken with the most satisfactory results. This’ led me to try Skoda’s German Soap, as I was troubled a great deal with a sensitive Zace which shaving would irritate. Skoda’s German Soap has entirely rid me of this trouble. For softening and clearing up the skin one has only to try it to appreciate its su- periority over all others. -Skoda’s Discovery makes you eat, it makes you sleep, {t wakes you well.
