One of the wisest and most promincn,
of living American statesmen once said :

differing tastes and characters. The re.

fitted US for friction with the world out

Boys and girls are apt to look upol
the family relation as matter of course,
as inevitable and fixed as the rising OF
the sun or moon, without recognizing its
effect upon themselves. How necessary
and p .rmanent this effect is was shown
in England lately by an experiment which
was made by some well.meaning re-
formers. A large number of children
were removed from wretched homes, and
brought up in industrial schools under Q
scientific and moral regimen.
When the girls were old enongh. they
were put out to service, but in every in.
stance complaints were made of theil
cruelty to children, of their in9rat tude
and Of the impossibility of winning theil
affection. "The human nature in them
is utterly dwarfed" wrote one observer.
"They are only morose, ill-natured ma.
chimes" Better that child should be
reared in a bad family than in no family

The native community throughout
Bengal, India, has been greatly excited by
the discovery that extensive adulteration
is carried on in the manufacture of ghee,
or clarified butter, an article in daily
use in every native household. The in
tensity of the popular feeling on the sub
ject is accounted for by the fact that the
adulteration is effected either with beef
and mutton fat the eating of which is a
deadly sin in the eyes of the Hlndus, or
with lard, which the Mohammedans con-
slider unclean food. Both Hindus and
Mohammedans have called on the gov
ernment to protect them by legislation,
and have urged the necessity for imme-
diate action, so that the measures might
come into force before the Doorga Pooja
and Mohurram, the great festivals of the
two religions.

ALARM IN CANADA,
Taking Steps to Check the Influx OF

OTTAWA, Ont, Oct 49, 1885, 1t is under
stood in official circles that, In view of the
large increase in the number of refugees from
justice who seek shelter in Canada from t @
United States courts, and vice versa, this
British government has bean asked to hasten,
as far as possible, the readjustment of the
extradition treaty between the United States
and Great Britain. Within the past few
months Canada has been de!uged with
American swinders, whom the extradition
law fails to reach, and Of the danger of popu-
lating the country with this class of settlers
the Canadian government has become fully
aware. Sir John Macdonald is anxious to
have a treaty that will cover the larger
crimes in the calendar. Considerable cor
Eespondence has been going on between the
Imperial and Dominion governments on this
subject of late, and, it is believed, with sat
isfactory results, so far as the British govern
nlent is concerned While Sir John is doing
all in his power TO secure an extradition
treaty which will be practically FREQ trade
