It describes a visit to Why. cocomagh, Cape Breton, one of the j oldest Scottish settlements on the | coast: | Sunday dawned fair aud clear. | Surely ofr iuck-god had been kind. { for of all the year this chanced to be | the great Sunday in Whycocomagh, the day of the annual sacrament in | the Presbyterian churches, Our land- lord, who was au elder, became, in our eyés, an acquaintance of whom to be justly proud. One. congrega- tion, one pastor, but two churches t'divide belweem them a service in Gaelic and a service in English, .and | we learped that many of the hearers | drive every year a distance of -twenty- five miles, while people over seventy years of age walk ten or twelve miles to be nt. Before the church in which the English service was held was built the older edifice could not accommodate the crowd which came from all parts, often so far as forty miles, and the service was held in a glen pear the church which formed a perfect natural amphitheatre. In the centre the tables were served, and the congregation sat on the slopes. Twentystive years before it had been no unusual thing for twe thousand teams to be tethered near, while five thousand people took part in the ceremony. At the present time the services begin on Thursday, which is Fast Day; Friday is Questioning Day; Sat. urday, Preparation Day; Sunday, the Sacrament Day; and Monday, Thanks. giving Day. On.Sunday many people do not break their fast before the service, Can this be the Presbyterian Church in Canada in the year 19127 1s it not some rigid hamlet in Scot land in the days of our grandfathers? That "Questioning Day" has such a penitential sound, such a smack of | aatmeal porridge and the Shorter Catechism, and hard wooden benches, and "Tenthlies"!

The walters of the bay danced in the morn- ing sunlight with a most uusabimth. ian frivolity, but the hills rose sol- emnly grand with a cathedral -like calm. On the bridge leading to the Indian Reserve we paused to watch the carriages of those bound church- wards winding down the meuntain. sides in all directions. us with a pleasant "good morning," these people of fine face and dignified bearing, whose Sunday "blacks" were well covered to protect them from un- seemly dust. Moreover, it was im- possible mot to notice, despite the time and place, the magnificence »! the horses and the beauty of their appearance and gait. As we retrac ed our steps, we found that the line of buggies extended for a distance of half a mile from the church door, the horses for the most part unharnessed and in many cases eating the frag- rant hay that had been brought for them from the home stable. Later, during a stroll past the Gaelic church, with its even longer string of waiting for union and 15 , led the precentor, came our ears, for here no organ has ousted that worthy from his. time. honored place. The English service has attained to the modernity of an organ, at first regarded as a doubtful * ovation by the older members of ' + congrega. Sion, but now a valued adjunct that would not be dispensed with for any consideration. As we moved slowly ou our way, the still air held and reverberated again and yet again to the Gaelic chant, which lingered in our ears even after distance had plac- ed it beyond the power of transmis- sion. After dinner, we rested in the hote! facies until the midday heat should somewhat spent. Here, in a place of honor, we beheld autographed hotographs of Lord and Lady Aber- mn. Underneath the signature "Aberdeen, Governor-General," ap- . peared the name of the hostess, and "With ail good wishes for Whycoeo magh, October, 1897."

"The truth and proof of this is in evid:nce on every hand. Indeed, if our municipal suthorities could have a fix mont visit to the London County Council they would, or could, observe in that time more than is to be learned from all other municipahi- tie elsewhere combined, and the habit well nigh chronic in our City Hall of sending for foreigner architects to design an abattoir or an Old Folks' Home would be unnecessary, and the slight put upon our local architects would be avoided. The humiliation of sending a commissioner and civie employe from beneath our flag is to be vigorously resented. An equally erroneous step was taken when filtra- tion was decided upon. London: is further ahead on this subject than any city in Europe "The U.S. lags far behind, while our filtration plant on our Island was coneeived in a foreign port and born in blunders. It is forty years behind the best practice in London, and costs five times the cost per million gailons for equal quality of product as does any plant designed by London engi- neers experienced in this class of con- struction. "Transportation evolution in Lon- don has advanced beyond that of any city on earth. A casual observer can see that tubes are a dying institution Even the tram is doomed because of the flexibility of the motor bus sys- tem. In London miles of trolley poles are today placarded soliciting citizens to patronize the trams. Unless one's | office and home are located near tube stations, the nfotor bus is generally i preferred to the tube "Instead of adding to the expense of 'metering the water,' an efficient corps prevents leaks, and their suo- cess is the principal factor in produc- ing London's low per capita water rate. The London Council would never consider the folly of spending three-quarters of a million for meters for each 400,000 inhabitants, "It is now evident to the careful citizen that the time when civie aun- thorities can err with impunity ia past.

The work was begun more than two years ago, but it isn't com- pleted yet, except in the 100,000 square miles along the west shore of the great Hudson Bay. Thére have been few undertakings more filled with the elements of ro manos and adventure, of hardship and the picturesque, than this taking of a census in a country of savagery and desolation," where human life is enu- merated at just about the rate of one man, woman or child to every 50 square miles. In it have played their parts the old Hudson Bay Co.'s {de- ter, the Royal Northwest Mounted Po- lice, adventurous traders and explor | ers, dogs and sledges, canoes and | Snow, s; to say nothing of that other still more picturesque part of , the "game." the people whom the !

Dan Cupid and the Piane. Dan Cupid is credited with a ro mance a bit out of the ordinary in the lives of a prominent Canadian Jisho- manufacturer and his better all. The story goes that, when a young man, the hero of the tale was sent by his firm to take a piano out of a homo because a few payments were overdue and the money was not in sight. When he arrived at the house and enternd the drawing room he saw a young lady scated at the piano, play. ing in a pleasing manner. Right there cupid seized the psychological moment and sent his barbed arrow home to the heart of the piano man. There was some diplomatic dis the fair player did not. Waited For Naval Plans. A MS Tn ib A EE OUR POLYGLOT PRESS, Many Languages Stand In the Way of Canada's Literature.

And when. I recovered my breath and was able to reappear again in the worid at large, 1 had some of the following ideas on our polyglot press: ! First of all, of course, at the pres- | ent time, there are more lish dail ies, weeklies and monthlies than French; but the French are by no means a bad second. Quebec issues about 88 publications in its provincial language, Ontario has eight French or semi-French newspapers, Manitoba has three, New Brunswick two, and Princé Edward Island and Alberta one each. Besides English and French, news- papers are published in the following languages in Canada: Blavie, Japa- nese, Chinese, Icelandic, German, Polish, Swedish, Ruthenian, Magyar, Danish, Finnish, Hebrew and Ital- ian, Spanish and Russian seem to be the only two major European lan. guages unrepresented. However, with cur fifteen printed | tongues we do pretty well. Nova Sootia | and the Yukon press are the only two provinces that can claim pure, un- | contaminated English. The Acadians have left, it would seem, no vestige of their language in the modern print ed paper in the land of Evangeline, while it must be admitied that the Yukon oply runs three news-sheets. Quebec is, of course, more French than English, Montreal being the * centre of the French publishing world just as Toronto is of the English. New | Brunswick is practically pure Eng. lish, Shediac with its '"'Monitéur Aca- dien," and Moncton with its "Evange- line," alone varying the English, On- tario produces more printed matter than the rest of Canada, and it is practically all English, with a mild sprinkling of French and German, a Danish paper, "Danebrog," at Ot tawa, and the "Tyokansa," a Finnish | publication at Port Asthur, / The farther west we go, of course, where the most recent immigrants have located, the more varied becomes this Babel Tower of tongues. Mahi- | toba has a French patch at St. Boni- | face; otherwise ite second printed tongue is easily leelandic, Winnipeg alone producing five publications in this language. British Columbia is pure English with the exception of | some Oriental newsy rs such as the | ""Tai-Hon-Yat-Bo" (Chinese), and the "Tairika-Nippo" (Japanese), of Vin- | couver.
