Strange to say that this is the time every- thing grows. They pant their oats and potatoes at the beginning of winter and when the heavy rain comes everything be- gins to grow. The seasons are exactly op- poste to home, this is mid-summer at home and mid-winter here. i saw white frost twice since | caine, all foreign trees are lifeless, but the native trees are in bloom, the flowers look about the same as when I left home. 1 here give you a few facts about the coun- try. ‘The climate is in general remarkably healthy, and is hot and dry. The heat on the east coast is rendered less oppressive by constant sea breezes. The term ‘‘bursters” is used to denote southerly storms, occur, ring in summer (November to February), and following a hot northwest wind. ‘They invariably bring a sudden and rapid change of temperature, and are followed by exten- sive rains. Yet, on the whole, the climate is both healthy and agreeable. Statistics show that the death-rate is extremely low —19 per 1,009, and epidemics are unknown. Snow has been kiown to lie on the ground at Sidney— the oldest city in Austratia and about 100 miles from here—only once,

To the botanist and the zoologist Aus- tralia is a most interesting field. A very large proportion of the flora aud fauna are of species not found elsewhere. 1 am told thai about 800 species of flowering plants Among the forest trees the gum iree and the wattie are specially noticeable, the leaves of both extending vertically instead of horizontally. Of the eucalyptus (Gum) there are about 130 species, and among them are the tallest of known trees. One fallen forest gieni, tound in Victorian Alps, measured 480 feet. Here also are found the gigantic ferns, rising from forty to fiity feet in height, and throwing out a brond canopy of loliage, under which an army Of prospectors might encamp.

In the construction oj their weapons they show some ingeauity, and they wield the spear, boomerang and throwing-stick with great dexterity.

The land laws are remarkably liberal and free from obstructive eatures. No State religion or religious subsidy exists. Love for the Mother Cagntry, anda spirit of joyaltv is very strong, thus the question of independence is as yet one of the far future. A far more practical and urgent problem is that of confederation, That many and important vdvantages would result from such a move- went is beyond doubt, but the existing

system seems, in most respects, well! idapted to the needs of the colunists, and

there is little chance of a chanye at present.

‘Lhe chief dufiiculties in the way of federal union are: the commercial rivalry between the most inipurtant colonies, the question of Chinese immigration, and, above all, the tariff question. For ten years Victeria has pursued the policy of protection to hone industries, and her people still believe that policy to be for the best interests of the colony. On the other hand, her neighbor and rival, New South Wales, strongly ad- heres to the free trade principles of the Mother Country, and maintains a tariff for revenue only. So wide is the difference of opinion, and so thoroughly convinced are both parties of the strengih and justice of their respective policies, that union im the near future seems altogether improbable. The smaller colonies incline in general to the free trade doctrine. On the question of Chinese immigration, West Australia, and in a less degree Queensland and South Australia, stand opposed to New South Wales and Victorm, the latter colonies having an intense feeling against such im- portation of ‘“‘cheap labor.” As West Australia is still a crown province, the Bri- tish Secretary for the Colonies has been urged to prevent future immigration.

We have the eight hours system of labor, and the hours are from 8a. m. to 6p. m., and 1 p. m. on Saturdays—that is, all men exc8pt shop employes. The iatter body had a bill passed in the House of Parlia- ment last year, and came into force last April. Previous to this the shops were open from 8.30 till 10 end 11 p. m. on Saturdays. Now, since the early closing act came into force, all shops have to close at 7 p.m. on week nights, oxcept Satur- day nights, the hour jor closing being 10 p. m. instead of Il p.m. Lf your shop is tound open aiter these hours you are liable to be tined. First when this early closing act was started, a few of the stubborn dry goods houses kept open, but only for a few

nights. All the clerks gathered around tiese places, hooting “‘slave drivers,” etc. They attracted a large crowd, and

the thoroughfares were ail blocked up. his was carried on for a week, and at last the mounted police were called out, but the shopkeepers had to give in.

Every class of laborer has a union, and ali unions united own a very large hall, where they hold their meetings. I saw in the daily papers where the domestic ser- vants were advocating the eight hour system. These unions are the ruination to any new country.
