Winter Service at the Capes.
SOME PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS.
Sirn,—As the se is now arriving in which the iceboats afé* required to agai fu'fil the terms of union between the Island and the inainland—probably a suggestion or two in the way of improvements may not be amiss. At the same time not forgetting not ignoring the improvements that are to be brought into play since the recognition of the winter mail under the Marine Depart- ment. In the past the poorly paid con- tractors, Muttart & Irving, when unable to comply with the requests of the neglected boatmen, from the fact that they had (or claimed to have) such a small compensation for the responsibility and the work they performed ; ard as 9 result strikes and revolis are necessary to bring about an era of improvements, and that era is now Beginning to dawn. We are, we trust, just entering upon a period of im- provements and reform in which the ice- boat service at the Capes is vo longer to be neglected, as has been the case in the past. Tenders has been called and accept- ed for the conveyance of the boatmen from the boat house to board ice and from board ice to boat house, with double-horse teams and buffalo robes.

Smallpox in Mexico.
Largpo, Mexico, Dee. 27, 1885.
Sin,—Reading the news of the smallpox epidemic now in progressin your city, I am tempted to write a few lines to Tux Examiner. While it may not be generally interesting, it will at least show the con- trast between Prince Edward Island and Mexico, so far as the smallpox is concerned, In Mexico the smallpox is prevalent at all times, and it can be found in every city and town. Your correspondent will endeavor to give you the facts from observations as a
‘resident of Laredo.
Tais place hes a population of 10,000 per- sons, four-fifths of whom are natives, wi h very few exceptions. They are a lazy, in- dolent class of people, so much so that smalipox has an everlasting elaim upon them. Atthe present tiie there are up- wards of two hundred cases of the disease in this city, scattered areund in “‘ jacais” in various paris of the place, There is no hospital, nor are the infected hovses flagged ; and, what is more astoniehing, there is no alarm, no excitement, the regu- ler routine of business goeson. The peo-
le mingle with each other, vi it the sick,

two miles up or down the board ice from where they start, owing to a variety of causes, and boatmen and passengers had to get home as best they cculd. Butas teams are now to be provided for the crews, we suggest that a good warm top-cvat to button closely over the chest and throat be pro- vided for each boatmen to @rive ashore with, It is not too much to ask, we think, ‘decanse all other @ut door Government employes receive such pro- tection snd more—who are not half as. hard worked and better paid than the sturdy anen whe pull mail beats acress the Gulf. This would not fneur mich cost considering the importance of the work they peafurms mood not be very eostly so long as they are tight woven and warm. But as they are required on both eides, we would think that two for each man would b3 required, as there is not the slightest need of taking them out in the Gulf.
The best protection against stormy and bad weather, is caution. It would be far better than all the clothing and provision that could accompany the mail boats in such a storm as we experienced in the Gulf last Winter. Oaution must not be underrated whatever improvements are made. We say that when the Gulf is very bad, a blinding storm accompanying it, far better stay on shore than go experimenting with impossibilities and people’s lives. Had this been adhered to last Winter, men would not be going around to-day, maimed for life. But in ali fair play we should have the top coats-two for each man — because if only one is provided they must necessarily be taken in the boats all the time and, allowing each to weigh ten pounds apiece, or five coats for each boat would make about fifty pounds of bulky weight, not considering the chest or rubber bag that would be required: to preserve them in from slush and storm in crossing. This would add materially to the draught of the boat on bar ice or a broken up Gulf ; hesides. it would cost more per season to haul this extra than would buy the extra coats for either side.
Again, another matter of great import- ance, or that has hitherto been « fruitful source of irregular mails in the past, is the overloading of the boats with pas- sengers and baggage. I know of crossings that could have been _per- formed had it not been that the boats were loaded down to the water's edge with man and freight, of.en after a day or two of easterly or westerly winds, water, two ot three miles is formed on either side of board ice in frosty woather, for a half mile or more thin ice is made two to four inches thick, quite sufficient to carry a boat, her mails and crew, which makes good ice to cross over, but then put five or #ix passengers with that, and two or three hundred pounds of more baggage, the boat and her crew breaks through, and the only alternative there is—get back and wait a change in the Gulf; whereas if nothing but mails, in cases of that kind, constitute the cargo,no difficulty would be experienced in getting over.
Often it happens, too, that so many passengers are allowed to go with the mail boats, that the crews have not room to pull or boat-kgok through the broken ice or lolly; in such a gulf the crews want every chance they can have when the crossing is dependant on theit endurance and labor. Considering the way things have been run in the past—the Government so mean in providing the contractor with extras for emergencies-—is it any wonder that passen-
4gers,contractors and crews have been con-
tinually clamoring for improvement ? Is it any wonder that the Capes route was deemed the only neglected mail route in the Do- minion.
But, a8 we said before, we are now just entering on an era of progress and reform, in which our labor will be recognized as
sufticient equipage be provided, that in the fature passenger bosts will be provided ‘extrefwith thejmai! boats, and that a staff of ‘regular boatnten for such work be eonstant- ly kept on band with plenty of boats. These are the main essen to keep up a

The disease does not seem to be as severe
Only occasionally do the victims succumb. No doubt the climate has a great deal to do with it. The only remedy, as far as I can learn, which they administer to patients, is ‘*Aqua de Boraga.” The dis- ease is confined almost entirely to the natives.

The Expert Type Writer.
Dr. Brudenell Carter, the famous eye surgeon of London, when here visiting the Centennial, bought every American inven- tion that he thonght would be of use to Lim, and among them a iype-writer. In a treatise of his on the eye and how to pre- serve it, published not Jong since, he gives a cut of a type-writer, and advised all persons who are near-sighted to use it. The speed with which an expert operator can rattle off words and sentences is wonder- ful to one who has never tried to use the machine. The fingers play with a swift and ceaseless motion over the keys,accompanied by the monotonous ‘“‘rat-tat” of the ma- chine, and sheet after sheet of neatly writ- ten manuscript is taken from the roller, from two to three. times as fast as an average penman can produce it. Few people write with a pen faster than twenty or thifty words a minute? an expert will bring out of the type writer fifty to eighty words ina minute. What, then, must be the value of a clerk who is an expert as both short-hand and type writing

Woman Suffrage.
The sixteenth annual session of the Woman's Suffrage Association was held in Philadelphia on the 30th and 3lstult. A long series of resolutions were adopted, among which were: ‘‘That the present Government of the United States is mot a government of the people, by the people ; is not a true Democracy ; but that it is a Government vnder which one-half of the people sre deprived of their political rights by the despotic action of the other half. That in the establishment of restricted suffrage for women in twelve States and one Territory, and impartial spffrage in three Territories of this Union ; in the in- creasing number of advocates of our cause, through the press, in the pulpit, and in halis of legislation, we see indications of the advancement of (he American people in true civilization, and are encouraged there- by to pursve our work.”

Longfellow as an Artist.
It has not been generally known that Mr. Longfellow added to his poetic gifts those of an artist. In the biography which is now being prepared will be found letters and diaries written by the poet while abroad and charmingly illustrated by him with dainty little pen and ink drawings. These are to be carefully reproduced.— New Orleans Times-Democret.
Somewhat of a Predicament.
A lady’s fourth husband lay at the point of death while she bung over him with tender and watchful care.
‘*We will m-meet again in h-heaven, dear.” he said, with difficulty.
‘*Ye-es,” she replied, hesitatingly, “ but Iam afraid it may be a litde bit embar- rassing, Johr.”
