which consists of one hundred and fifteen
families, making a company of abont 700

land, at one dollar per acre, and now,
although only four years have elapsed,

colonists already have dairies and cheese
factories in successful operation, and all
their products find ready sale and com

herds of cattle, and their barns are built as

An APPEAL TO THE CHARITABLE.
(St. Louis Watchman.) }


We take great pleasure in recommending
to the generous public of st. Louis the two
| sisters who are now collecting for the Do
minican Convent Of New Orleans. That
worthy order have met within the last two
years severe reverses of fortune, which
now compel them to appeal to the charity
of strangers for means to carry their
good work. They come with very warm
endorsement from the venerable Archbishop
of New Orleans, Monseigneur Perche, and
offer also the following permieson from
Bishep Ryan:
Mother Magdalen aud Sister Teresa have
the necessary permission to collect aims for
their institution in this diocese for one month
from this date.
LsienedI p j. RYAs, Coa6j. Bishop.
st. Loais, Asa. 81.
The South has been 80 unfortunate of
late years that the case will meet with the
sympathy of all charitable persons in St.
Louis, who would like to contribute to a
good cause. The two Sisters will be hank
fol for any donation left at the Convent of
the Good Shepherd, corner of Seventeenth
and Pine streets. These doDations will
meet with their prayers for the donors, and
mass will be said once month for the same
intention.

DISCOVERY OF GAs.-Gre7t was the
amszement of all England when. at the
close of the last century, VIM. Murdoch
discovered the use Of combustibie air or
gas. So little was the invention under
stood and believed In by those who had
seen it in use that even great and wise men
laughed at the idea. How could there
be light withoa5 wick ~ asked a member
of Parliament when the suhjest was
brought before the House. Even Sir Hum
Phrey Davy ridicuied the idea of lighting
towns with gas,, and asked one of the pro-
jeetoTs if they meant to take the Gome of
ST. Paufs gas metre. Sir Walter
Scott, too, mad himself merry over the
idea of Illuminating London by emoke,
though he was glad euough not so long
after To make kis own house at Abbotsford d
light and chee3ful on winter nights By the
use of that very smoke. When the House
of Commons was lighted by gas, the ar
cbirect imagined that the gas ran on fire
through the pipes, and insisted on their
being placed several iaches from the wall
for fear of tie building taking Ere, and
members might be observed carefully
touching the pipe with their gloved hands,
and wondering that they did not feel warm.
The first shop lighted by the new method
was Mr.. Ackermann's of the Strand, in
1910, and orc lady Of rank was so delighted
with the briliancy of the gas lamp on tie
| counter that she asked to be allowed to
! take it home in her carriage.
