While as general rule. vegetation

says Meehan's Monthly, yet there are
instances where the plants. animals and
other elements of one country find

the new locality becomes q second and

of this paragraph was very much struck
with this fact n few years ago on visit
to British Columbia, on the Pacific. In
the vicinity of the city of Victoria, the
wild English daisy so we'll known
through Burns beautiful poem to
the daisy which he turned down with
his plow, was abundant in a wild state,
and just as happy as if it were growing
In its original Scotch or English home.
The English ivy throve in it's original
luXuriance, and the China roses grew
around the houses of the settlers Just
as freely as they are famed to do around
English cottage homes. In many other
ways the visitor to Victoria would see
repetition of scenes familiar 10 jour
rey through England. 1t is said that
just the same experience meets the trav-
eler in portions of New Zealand. The
trees which thrive so we'll in England, of
the various species of oak, elm, larch.
beech, willows and poplars, have been
introduced there; and even the dog rose
and the hawthorn give an interest to the
hedges, just as they do in the old coun-
try. IT is also said that the English
settlers there have brought with them
their customs as well as their trees,
and the roads, parks. gardens and build

suspecting traveller that he was still
among the green fields and lawns of old
England. All he has to do is to forget

When Virginia was settled auctions OF

MISSION FOR UNBELIEVERs.
Dr. Guinam,s Profitable Services it st.
AugusnIne,s Catholic Church.

The Rev. William j. Guinan, u. p,
is conducting a series of eight sermons
in ST. A1gustihe's Roman Catholic
Church, in MO Hill. Ms sermons are
intended for non-Catholics and un-
believers but a general invitation is ex-
tended to the public. Every evening the
church was crowded.
DR.. Guinsn divided his lecture on
Thursday as OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
She? immaculate Conception. Perpetual
Virginity. Brothers and Sisters of
Christ" When DR.. Guinan entered the
church he found the following note in
the query-box at the door, which he read
aloud:-"Why does the Catholic Church
oppose the public schools. when it is a
fact, proved by statistics, that the
parochial schools produce four times as
many ilbterates, and twice as many
criminals as the public schools2'
Il do not care to answer this said
DR.. Guinan. as what L might say would
offend some one. But | realized if l did
not ansWer it. those who knew that the
question had been submitted would con-
slider that the statements made in the
query are true. The question has been
forced upon me, and l must answer it. AS
for the statements, they are absolutely
false"
Upon referring to a report of the United
States census OF 1870 and the reports of
