by perpetual twirling in the opposite

characters forming the holy phrase
may pass in proper order before the
person turning; and as all oriental
books are read from the right side Of
each page to the left, the barrel is
turned in the same direction. For the
same reason the Thibetan walks in this
direction round the great terraces and
other buildings on which the holy
words are inscribed, in order that his
eyes may rest on the words in due
course, which can only be the case
when he keeps his left hand toward
the object round which he is walking.

Sunday in Hudson Ran

Tho houses, not more than twenty
five or thirty in number, are 80 scat
tered as to extend along the river bank
for nearly . mile; and being all painted
white, form conspicuous objects against
their dark background Of pine woods.
On stepping ashore ut the landing
stage we find ourselves at the foot of q
flagstaff indicating the headquarters
of the Hudson's Bay Company, to
whom, indeed, the whole settlement
owes its existence, the entire resident
population, except the mission staff,
being composed of their officers and
employees. Round this center are
grouped the residences Of the officer in
charge and his subordinates, and also
one or two large warehouses. Beyond
these stretch away to the right the cot
tages OF the company's laborers. Every
building on the island is OF wood. In
shape and size, however, the dwelling
houses are not unlike those Of an En-.
glish country village, except that only
the larger houses have any upper
story.
Taking now q path to the left, and
following the bank, We make our way
towards the mission station--easily rec
ogniEed ' ct a distance by the flag
which floats over il, bearing tho letters
GIN. g., this being . station Of tho
Church Missionary Society. On our
way thither we pass the mission church,
q modest little structure Of wood sur-
mounted with . steeple, and capable OF
accommodating about three hundred
persons. Leaving this, we soon reach
the mission buildings, which, besides
the school, include the residences ofthe
Bishop Of Moosonee (this station being

N Tkia wAs i lanatical project on the
part Of ! few Roman Catholics to de-
stroy The King. Lords, and Commons
on the meeting Of Parliament, Novem-
her 5, 1906 The originator Of the plot
was Robert Catesby, . man Of ancient
and opulsnt family. II was intended
thus to take vengeance for the penal
laws against Catholics. Among those
enlisted in the conspiracy wa Guy
Fa#kss = soldier Of for. une and fear
less character, whose name by reason
OF the part he took has since been de-
tested in English history. The con-
spirstors rented q house adjoining that
ia which Parliament was assembled. OF
which Fawkes took possession under
the assumed named Of johnson. Those
concerned in the plot met in this house,
and December IL, 1904, began to exca
yste ! mine. While engaged in the
work they we're alarmed ~ : noise AZ
ter they had pierced the wall three
yards thick. Fawkes learned that this
noise proceeded from q cellar under
the House Of Lords, which had just
been vacated by . dealer in Goals He
hires it, and thirty-six barrels Of gun
powder were placed in It and stones
and billets of wood placed over them.
Everything was arranged for the as
sembling OF Parliament. which was to
take place on the 9Th OF November,
1905 Fawkes was appointed TO fire
The mine with . slow match. All the
Roman Catholic peers and others whom
IL was thought expedient to preserve
were to be prevented from going to the
Parliament House by some pretended
message OF other on the morning Of
that day. On the Goth Of October Lord
Mounteagle, . brother-in-law OF n OF
the c~onspirators, received . letter warn
ing him not to attend Parliament, and
intimating q terrible danger. The let.
ter was formally communicated to King
James, who at once declared its mean
ing, probably because he had been told
beforehand of the plot. Search was
then instituted, and on the morning of
the 9Th. . little after midnight, Fawkes
was arrested coming out Of the cellar
dressed as for . journey. Three matches
were found on him. The powder was
| discovered in the cellar. Fawkes was
examined and boldly avowed his part
in the conspiracy. but the tortures of
the rack would not make him disclose
the names of his associates. He was
tried. condemned, and executed. His
confederates betrayed themselves by
Highland the chiefs of them were either
killed on being captured or died on tho
scaffold. The anniversary OF the plot,
November 5, was long celebrated in
England and New England by
the boys OF the town carrying about
an effi9y of Guy Fawkes which
was finally burned in some public place.
1t was customary for the boys on these
occasions to sing verses beginning:
Remember, remember, the 5th of November,
The g%unpowder treas IN ana plot"
The custom is still maintained to
soma extent in England, though it long
since ceased in New England. The day
was formerly q legal holiday in En-
