their annual dinner. In some cases the charity
is tempered by ill-chosen speeches from officious
people, who remind their hearers of their (the
hearers, not the speakersl wickedness and tell
them that they ought to be extremely grateful to
those who have provided them with q good dim

tents of the bounty will be permitted to eat in
peace and enjoy themselves in their own way.
There is Japanese village at the Madison
square Garden, and, although it is rather an IN
teresting spectacle, its managers have continued
to miss really great opportunity Instead Of
decorating the place in the most tasteful and
gorgeous Japanese style. they have simply
erected a number of booths, in which the dark
skinned, almend-eped men and women sit and
work. There is carpenter who pulls his plane
toward him instead of pushing it from him. and
a man who molds earthenware out Of wet clay
placed on rapidly revolving wheel, and there
are others who adorn Japanese pottery
with inlaid metal on the Cloisonne
method, peculiar to the East. At
one enc of the room, which contains the village,
two japanese ladies offer tea to the visitors.
They are picturesquely attired, and are, doubt
less, considered beauties in their own country.
Unfortunately, however, the village fails to
convey any idea of the domestic and social life
of the Japs There are two or three little chill
dren and one queer little Japanese baby; but we
are left in the dark concerning the method by
which they are brought up, the toys they play
with. OR the spelling books which they use. A
Japanese tavern or restaurant, with real Jap
apese loafers seated about the stove, would also
be an interesting addition to the village, which,
as it stands, is very incomplete.

WHITE SLAVERY IN CANADA.
Horrors Which Equal Those of the Days OF
the African Trade.

Horrors which Equal Those of the Days of
the African Trade.
st. Johns Letter in Montreal Gazette.
It may be remembered that during the late
disastrous gale on the Labrador coast singu-
larly large number OF women and children were
reported as lost. At the time it not possible to
account for this, but the correspondence referred
to makes the whole matter plain 1t has for
many years been the custom to transport Of the
opening of the fishing season several thousand
women and children to Labrador, where
they remain four months. engaged in
curing the fish caught by the men. Thev are
carried to the of their labors packed in the
holds of small vessels, and the horrors of this
passage. as described by those familiar with the
facts, rival those of the dreadful middle pass
age' in the old slave trade. Not only women
and children, but animals of several kinds, dogs.
sheep, goats ETC., are slowed in the close and
filthy hold, and as the weather is generally
rough the matches are usually kept down all the
time
The passage takes from ten days to two weeks.
On reaching Labrador the passengers are ex-
hausted, and half poisoned by foul-air filth.
They are, however, forced to 60 on shore at
once and clean out the turf huts, which have
been filled with ice and snow all the winter.
In these wretched novels, which are always
damp and dirty. the poor creatures must live
throughout the season The curing of the fish
is laboriOus and incessant task, and at the
end of the season. having meanwhile been ill
fed, worse lodged and worn out by hard work,
noisome holes of the schooner, and consigned to
another hideous voyage AS storms are frequent
toward the close of the season, and as it is
almost impossible FOR the inmates Of tn hold to
get out in the event of an emergency, the
wrecks. which are numerous in the fall of the
year, too often include the drowning Of whole
families like rats in a trap. This is how it came
TO pass that so many women and children were
lost in the late severe gale on the coast of Lab
rador.
Perhaps the most remarkable fact is that this
system of white slavery has been in existence for
half a century, and that it is only now beginning
to attract attention. and to call forth the strong
condemnation it deserves. A Methodist minis
ter who went a missionary to Labrador. and
lived there several years, fully confirms all that
has been said of the condition of
things, and gives some personal expert
ences which are shocking in the revelations
they embedy. 1t is said that the owners Of the
vessels that carry the women to Labrador make
so great profit out of the trade by the extor-
tionate fares they charge that they are unwill-
ing to have any reforms introduced. That is
quite credible. for the greed of gain will
habituate to the commission of almost any
IniQuity.
