Queer Ways Of the "Covites."

In an article on the "Covites" OF
the Cumberland Mountains, published
in the Ladies's Home journal, Sarah
Barnwell Elliott says: "The people
are usually squatters on small lots Of
unclesred mountain land, which is ex.
tremely shallow and poor. They usu.
ally live in log or slab houses--some.
times 'chinked' and sometimes not;
sometimes with floors, and sometimes
without-eking ont an existence by
peddling either the nuts and fruits OF
the wilderness. or their poor 'gyarden
truck They are very keen at bar
gain. even when they have no idea OF
the proper value of the thing in hand.
and though they are very hospitable
when you come to their houses, aud
will give you anything they have in
the way Of food, they will never give
you anything that they have brought to
sell. They may give it to your cook,
or to your next door neighbor, or they
may throw it away just outside your
gate, but you having declined to pay
their price they will not give it to
you--at least, not that special ar
ticle."

The appointment OF the Earl and Coun.
toss Of Minto Hailed with Satisfaction.
The appointment Of the Earl OF
Mimic ma Governor General TO succeed
the Earl Of Aberdeen is hailed with
satisfaction throughout Canada. II
is generally believed that no more
fitting appointment could have been
made by the home Government. Lord
Minto will not assume his official du-
ties under the disadvantage of being
q stranger, for he is widely known
throughout the provinces. II might
be truthfully said that he is already
popular man, and is sure to fall heir
to the general good with which all
Canadians feel for the Earl of Aber-
deem.
The arrival Of the Earl and his
charming wife. the Countess of Minto.
is sure to strengthen the regard now
entertained for them. They will be
the handsomest couple ever occupying
Rideau Hall, the Dominion palace at
Ottawa, and fully capable of maintain
ing the social prestige of their high
position.

bouudless ambition drove il ON until
achievement il assuming proportions
beyond the widest dream of boyhood
servant days. He left the priest and
studied medicine. He went 20 Hong
Kong and saw something of other peo {.
Piles and Of other intellects than de.
generate Spanish or uudeveloped
Filipino.
In this growth to manhood and this
struggle for education young Aguin-
aldo found personal experience OF the
amazing blindness of the masters Of
the islands The rule of the Spanish
in the Philippines is almost beyond
belief. Nevertheless, the testimony is
convincing. The nation which delib-
erately does all in its power to retard
the progress of learning, TO prevent
the education of its people, has small
claim to civilization. In these islands
it was practically n crime for n Fill
pino to achieve any education. If he
came to the notice Of the authorities it
was more than probable that, If he
were not disposed OF more effectively,
he would be exiled. Agninaldo suf-
fered this punishment for his ambi-
tion, and now he is taking revenge.
His friends, his relatives, suffered
similarly, and now strive with him for
vengeance on the Spaniard.
The Filipinos are stoical in endur-
ance, one benefit Of three centuries OF
Spanish oppression and misrule.
They can endure and be still, endure
physical pain and suffering, with the
outward indifference of a red Indian.
They have the patience of Pambe Sc
rang, limitless courage of the fighting
sort, and ambition, in the case OF their
leaders, that knows neither metes nor
bounds. In manners they are polite
and agreeable, and intercourse with
European civilization has given some
of their leaders a distinguishing
polish. They affect the hauteur and
the reserve of their old Spanish rulers,
and thereby attach to themselves the
