VILLAGE LIFE IN CANADA.
Varied characteristics of Communities In
the Dominion.

varied characteristics of Communities In
the Dominion.
Village life in Canada has not yet lost
its rural characteristics, its country
quietness, its old-fashionedl love for law
and order. In the United States it 10
almost obliterated by the presence of
great industrial concerns, the pressure
OF individual competition, the influx of
foreign emigration, the filling up of the
country and the crush of surrounding
millions. And it is not bad sign for
the future of the Dominion that amid
the international crises of this disturb
ing period; amid the storms of CONNER
cial disaster and the whirlwinds of
financial panic, its village communities
appear as a rule to be in the undis-
turbed enjoyment of quiet and slow,
but steady prosperity And equally
valuable as national characteristic is
the law-abiding nature of these small
popular aggregations and the facility
with which justice is everywhere adj
ministered. All things considered, it
is safe to say that in no country in the
world will morality, religious observ-
rnce, contentment and comfort be found
more generally diffused than it is
among the village communities of the
widely scattered and varied provinces
of Canada.-Chautauq

The illustration represents one of the
most common devices for tying wool.

wonders of Prehistoric Art.

In one of the oldest ruins of the state
of Oaxaca, Mexico, a number of very
rare and interesting images, found in
metal, have been uncovered. The
images represent people of Oriental ap-
pearance and dress, as well as priests
in their robes of sacrifice. They bear
hieroglyphics of unknown characters
and are elaborately wrought, with fine
art lines shown in every curve. The
images found thus far are of gold,
either wholly or in part, and are coated
with some unknown enamel, which has
preserved them from all harm in the
many years they have been buried in
the soil
