ABSOLUTELY PURE
Labor in Vain.

That convicts he placed at hard and
Improbable labor, so as not to com
pete with honest toll. is often urged by
the friends of workingmen. The ideal
of these agitators has been reached at
London, Ontario. The workhouse and
penitentiary of the town is situated up
on the top of high bluff by the river
side. The convicts are told off into
groups Of four, and between them is n
barrel with handles; this they fill at the
river side, and then toll painfully up
the steep path to the summit of the
bluff. where the contents of the barrel
are thrown into a gutter to rush back
into the river Then they descend to
the water level for another load.

HowIing Mt the Moon.

Just as some highly civilized races
worship the sun, so some people lower
In the scale worship the moon.
Amongst the latter may be named the
Makua, of Mozambique, In East Africa.
They are bad lot, and give the Por-
tuguese much trouble. At full moon
they always dance and howl most
mournfully. Mr.. ii. II. Johnston. the
traveller. says that though the authori-
ties forbid these observances, his Ma
kua servants ran the risk of being
whipped, and even imprisoned, rather
than not go down to the beach to yell
and caper on full-moon nights.
