The Australian Convict system.

The gang Of galley slaves were seated
in close order on benches covered with
coarse sacking rudely stuffed, over
which was thrown bullocks' hides. Five
o. six Of them occupied n bench ten or
eleven feet long. To a footboard be-
meath each man was attached n chain
ending in IN iron band, riveted round
one OF his ankles. Tho benches were
so close together that, as one row Of
them pushed forward their oar, the
arms and oar of the row behind wera
projected over their backs. The size
and weight of the oar were so great
that, except at the end where it was
tapered to a manageable size, it was
necessary to work it by handles fixed to
the side.
The slaves were overlooked by the
boatswain. His place was on the gang
way, close to the sternmost oars, where
he was at all times within hearing of
the orders of the captain. Along the
gangway, at regular intervals, his mato
and the driver were posted, so that the
conduct of each slave was under inspoc-
tom The oars were put in motion or
stopped by the sound OF n silver whistle
worn by the boatswain, who, with his
mates, was armed with n heavy whip Of
bulls sinew to stimulate the exertions
of the slaves. When it was necessary
to continue the labor for many hours
without respite, they would administer,
in addition to the lash, morsels of bread
stepped in wine, which they put in the
months of the men as they rowed.

Mr.. Frank G. Carpenter, in Lippin-
colts gives an interesting account Of the
adoption and design Of the Confederate
flag. Gen. Johnson, he says. at
tempted first TO procure for each regi-
ment its state %colors; but this was found
impractieable. Designs were asked for,
and ono presented by Col. James B.
Walton, of Louisiana, wa chosen. The
design was originally oblong, but Gcn.
Johnson modified il by making it squapc,
and so modified it became The batilo
flag of the Confederacy. It was in ep.
temter, 1861, adopted by the rebel army
of the Potomac. and shortly afterwarI,
with slight notifications. by the other
armies.
''In 1868 the Confederate congress
adopted it as the union Of its new ma
tional ensign; and it is entitled to al
least as much fame as the better known
stars and bars. This battle-flag had a
red field, with two wide, blue bars run
ming %diagonally from one corner 10 the
other, thus forming the Greek cross. On
these bars were white or gold stars equal
in number to the states OF the Confed-
eracy. The design was substantially the
same MS the one presented to the Mont
gomery convention by William Porcher
Miles when the stars and bars were
chosen. It is known rs The Southern
cross, and was the only flag in general
use by the southern troops during the
war

How Trpe. rrevsnt malaria.

- Alullh n tWp0hloNaI
a fact recorded by an Eaglish officer,
who served many years in India, shows
that trees do prevent malaria. Tho
troops at a certain station in Bengal
were so often attacked by sickness that
it was determined to remove them to a
more healthy locality. The officer was
ordered TO select a suitable site for a
camp. As he was unable 10 find a
more healthy site in the neighborhood,
he thought that a arrangement OF the
Sepoys barracks might C their
health.
He had noticed that between tho Of
icers' quarters and a large swamp there
were several large trees. lie also OBJ
served that there was no sickness
among the officers or their %servants OK
cept in tho case Of the inmates of one
house, which, being unprotected by the
foliage, was exposed to the wind that
blew over the swamp.
Some little distance from the parade
ground there was a belt OF trees. To
the rear Of this belt he removed the
Sepoys' huts, so as TO shelter them from
the miasma of the swamp. The regi-
ment thns located remained free from
fever for several years. Then the trees
were cut down, and malaria immedi
ately attacked the men.
The officer also records hat at Prone.
Burmah, one company Of soldiers were
free from malarial fever, whilst their
comrades suffered severely from its at
tacks. Investigation showed that the
healthy company was sheltered from
the miasma by a mound covered with
trees, which intcrposed between their
barracks and the neighboring swamp.
The sick soldiers lived in barracks
which were unsheltered from the wind
when il blew across the malarial swamp.

How the Celesfihls Are Succeeding In Bus-
ine<s Competition with Foreigners
lCor. New York Tribunel
There are in Hong Kong a few lines
of business which the Chinese have not
yet invaded. have already mentioned
some Of them. There are no Chinese
apothccary shops in Hong Kong where
foreign drugs and medicines are sold,
though in Annoy, in the midst
of the Chinese city, ] have seen one
such having a fair assortment. All that
will come with the proper study Of med.
icine. AS an offset to this deficiency,
there is a young Chinaman who, having
worked seven years with an American
dentist, has displayed his shingle and is
practicing dentistry in all its branches,
with tolerable success / have seen
specimens of his work, and l may say
have seen worse in America. There is
no lack Of Chinese photographers either
in Hong Kong or Canton, their work in
Guiding portraits of all sizes and views
Of Chinese scenes, which are well execu-
ted and meet with a ready sale to tour

nese have done little, though they are
making progress in ~perspectives, and
some of their coloring of photographs is
exquisite.
OF their embroidery, thoir carving in
wood and ivory, their skill in the max
ing Of pottery and the weaving Of silk,
though these arts may eventually be
carried into foreign countries and have
their influence in a competitive way,
1t is not necessary now to speak. The
Chinese build the houses in which the
foreiguers live, furnish and decorate
them, aud they clothe, feed and serve
the occupants themselves The pleas
ure Of being waited on by a reti-
nue. of Chinese servants, the dolce far
niente of life in a summer land, the
seryile homage offered by an apparently
subject race, create an atmosphere Of
self Dissatisfaction, a kind Of glamour
which render sin visible the tyranny Of
the real rulers and the industrial sub
lection Of the white race, which is in
cvitablo and not distant.
The initiative quality of the Chinese
extends even to counterfeiting European
and American labels and trade marks.
The knowledge Of certain small articles
OF foreign make has created n desire for
them in China, and an effort to initiate
