morning as he held q vaccination mat

The law requires the register of
births to furnish each mother with u
blank form, and That the parents SHAH

small penalty. Notice is given of day
and hour when he will be at his office
to vaccinate, and large attendance is
certain.
| had been wondering all breakfast
time at the amount of style in the way
of bright colors and brown babies in
the garden, and when we went down to
the Office rooms, there were about q
dozen women, as many babies and two
or three men waiting for the perform
ance. Some spoke Hindustani, and
"Salaam, sahib, greeted us from them !;
some Spanish, and "Buenos dias" was
their salute; but what the rest said |
could not make out Every mother
was dressed in all the finery sheowned,
with neck, arms and ankles decorated
with strings of coins, having solid sill
yer collars and bracelets of the same
metal, bangles they call them, up to
the elbows And the babies were small
copies of their mothers, lacking a few
bangles and collars.
AS they were presented and deity
scratched, the doctor handed each her
certificate, with an injunction in her
own language to keapit carefully. One

What 1t Takes to Feed a Locomoti,e.

1t will, perhaps, interest some read
ers to know how much fuel locomotive
burns. This, of course, depends upon
the quality Of fuel, work done, speed,
and character of the road. On freight
trains an average consumption may be
taken at about one to one and one half
pounds of coal consumed per ear per
mile. With passenger trains, the cars
of which are heavier and the speed
higher, the coal consumption is greater
A freight train of thirty cars, at speed
OF thirty miles per hour, would, there
fore, burn from 800 to 1850 pounds of
coal per hour.-Scribner'S Magazine.

FAST DAY PROCLAMATION.

Our ancestors, ever a law.abiding and God
fearing people, lived and died imbued with
an unutterable faith in divine goodness and
mercy and the efficacy OF prayer. They ever
recognized the duty of living religious lives,
devoted to God and the proper observance OF
his teachings, and in consequence enjoyed
both happiness and prosperity.
In their thankfulness and in recognition OF
their dependence upon divine aid, they estab-
lish a custom OF having annually a day set
apart by constituted authority to be devoted
to religious worship and devotion to God.
Believing that this custom OF the fathers
was wise, as well as beneficial to the state
and to individuals and that it ought to be con
tinued and perpetuated, | do therefore ap-
point Friday, the 9th day OF April next, as a
day OF fasting, humiliation and prayer. Let
the day be one of prayer and religious conse'
Grafton; and to that end / recommend that all
our people abstain from unnecessary labor
and refrain from recreation not in keeping
with the occasion and meet at their custom
airy places of worship and there join in sucl
pie.
