MONTREAL, Aug. 1.-(SpeciaD-C.
r. Hosmer, manager Of the c. r. 2.
Telegraph Co, being interviewed,
pointed out the serious position
that Japan occupied geographically,
being dependent for an outlet
through China and Russia. He says
that sufficient financial progress had
been made in 1891 for laying a cable
from Vancouver to Japan, via the
Aleutian Islands, and that If the
Japanese government had taken any
interest in the matter the cable
would now be in operation, and might
be the means, during this war alone,
OF saving Japan more than the cost
of laying. which was estimated at
about four million dollars. He be
lieves that this war will lead to COM
plications which will result in the
speedy laying Of the Pacific cable,
either to Japan or China and Austria
liza, as this route appears the only
safe outlet for Eastern countries in
case of war.

CORRESPONDENCE.
More immigration Companies Still
Exist in Japan.

Mr.. EDITOR: In this mornings
ADVERTISER there appears state
ment, said to be taken from let
ter written TO Mr.. G.. Z. Boardman,
to the effect that the charter Of all
japanese immigration companies
other than Ogura & Co. have lapsed
and that the said firm of Ogura &
Co. are the only persons now able
to bring japanese laborers here.
This statement is erroneous, as
the charters of no immigration
companies have lapsed, but the
charter Of the Meiji Imin Kwaisha
has been revoked on account of
Misrepresentation made to the
immigrants who left Japan on the
Aikoku Maru in June last.
The Yokohama Kaigai Shoku-
min Kwaisha have registered and
placed q bond with the Governor
Of Yokohama, and have received
their charter from the Japanese
Government, and the said company
are able to furnish a better class of
labor, and for less money, than any
other company has ever furnished
to this country. The members of
the said company are we'll known
throughout Japan for their probity
and for the benefit of those who
may wish to do business with them
I give herewith the names Of all
the members in full: NJ. Yoke
wanna, T. Akaboshi, NJ. Morioka,
/ r. Motsumura. NJ. SEYA,
Attorney in fact for the kaigai

An electric f~unerai-car is a California
innovation. About nine miles distant
from San Francisco are four large
cemeteries and a crematory, and it was
10 bring them near the city thst an
electric railroad company introduced
the new hearse. It's first patron was a
benevolent organization, one of whose
members had died. At the time APP
pointed for the mourners to leave the
city the electric ~funeral-car, appro-
priately draped in black, was in readi-
ness. The body WAS lifted by the pail
bearers from an undertaker's wagon to
the car, and the bearers took their
seats ina section reserved for them.
The conductor rang the bell twice, the
motorman changed his gong to clear
the track Of a mob Of interested spec
tators, and the funeral procession
started, the mourners in electric cars
following the hearse. The run from
the starting point to the cemetery was
made in an hour. The car was switched
off on a track inside the cemetery gates
and the pallbearers lifted outthe coffin.
Then the funeral procession was re-
formed and moved slowly off towards
the chapel.

Bare Feet and Health,

Asto the healthfulness of going with
out shoes and stockings, there can,
says the London Hospital, be no ques.
tion. Some of the healthiest children
Of the world are to be found in the
Scottish Highlands, where shoes are
seldom worn at an earlier age than
twelve or thirteen. The African and
coolie laborers, who work baretfooted,
are usually in robust health, Brown,
in the History Of Man." tells of an
African monarch who suffered from
what appeared to have been a cold in
his head, besides other ailments, while
his people we're always as we'll as pos
sible. Can it be that the reason was
that, by the laws Of his kingdom, he
alone was permitted to clothe his feet,
and that he gratifed his vanity by al
ways wearing gorgeous sandals? It is
probably generalizing too much to
state, as a medical fact, that the bare
footed races are the healthiest. But
it is certain that bare feet are health
Ter than badly-shod feet. In our Eng
lish villages children are constantly
sent to school in wet weather with
holes in their shoes They sit for
hours with damp feet, and illnesses are
the result. If their parents would send
them off barefooted, as is done in Scot
land and ireland, their feet would dry
by evaporation in a short time, and ii
would be found that no harm followed.

WISE WORDS.

ment.
serene.
If poverty make man groan, ne
yawns in opulence,o
After crosses and losses men grow
humber and wiser.
Ill humor is but the inward feeling
of our own want of merit.
Since we cannot get what we like,
let us like what we can get.
Hope warps judgment in council,
but quickens energy IN action.
He who can conceal his joys is
greater than he who can hide his grlefs.
Every thought which genius and
piety throw into the world alters the
world.
The highest reach OF human science
is the scientific recognition OF human
ignorance.
The soul without Imagination is
what an observatory would be without
a telescope.
Wrong ever builds on q~uicksands,
but the right to the firm centre lays Its
moveless base.
Those who have but little to attend
to are great takers The less men
think the more they talk.
The cheerfulolive longest IN years,
and afterward in our regards. Cheer
fulness is the ofshoot of goodness.
Good temper, like q sunny day,

the sweetener of toll and the soother
Of disquietude.

An Air Flower Without Leaves.

1t is said that one of the strangest
botanical curiosities in the world is
the Wonder Wonder flower, found in
the Malayan Peninsula. 1t is simply
a blossom without leaves, vine, or
stem. and grows as a parasite on de-
cayed wood. This extraordinary flower
is something like a yard in diameter,
and has a globular cup in the middle
with a capacity of five OF six quarts
The cup distils q fetid liquid, which
smells like decayed meat. Botanist
think that this odor is calculated to
attract flies and secure a proper fertil-
ization.- American Register.

That they must have somewhere to go

An electric light Of 40. 900. 900 Z

An electric light Of 40, 900, 900 can.
die power almost surpasses compre-
hension. Yet this great mass of light
is to issue from a lighthouse tower on
Penmarch Point on the coast Of Brit
tany. The beam will be seer twenty
five miles before it strikes the horizon,
and after that it will be reflected on
the sky for a distance Of thirty-eight
miles further. The largest light on
the costs of the United States can only
be seer twenty-eight miles in clear
weather. It is a good omen, thinks
the New York Sun. that this high de-
velopment Of electric lighting is in
the interests Of peace and for the pres-
srvation Of human life. Hitherto tho
searchlights on warships have repre-.
sented the greatest concentration Of
electric light rays.

AFTER AWHILE.

After awhile, we often say,
When shadows fall and clouds arise,
There's sure to come a brighter day,
: With halmy air and sunny skies.
After awhile a daJs of rest
Will come to worn and weary feet3
What seems the worst will prove the best,
And bitter things be turned to sweet.
After awhile the aching heart Q
Will find a cordial for its pain . q
And as the flying days depart
The Joy Of love will come again.
After awhile the right will reign,
And conquered wrong will lose it's sway
While ancient errors Icy chain
Will break and slowly melt away.
After awhile the clashing creeds
That lead to strife and hate with men
VIII yield to u superior needs
And love will prompt the lip and pen.
Aftef awhile the golden hours
Welcome with life's supernal days,
q And higher thoughts and nobler powers
Will lead us into grander ways.

There is something weird eve in
the reminder that ssthe ~white~eyed boy
Of Boston" still lives, as appears from
the discovery of a fresh attempt to
escape from prison. Not many read
ers Of this day remember the atrocious
crimes Of the Pomeroy youth about
twenty years ago. He seemed to be
born with a satanic instinct for horri-
BILE cruelty and even murder. There
was no apparent motive for his crimes.
His thirst for blood was as Unsuitable as
thas of a young tiger. His sentence
of imprisonment for life, in solitary
confinement, was a relief to the public
mind, and the mere thought Of his
escape is enough to cause o shudder in
Boston.
