islands and inside the reef, the sea is
calm and still.
The population in 1895 was 1925.
This is made up chiefly of Creoles and
Africans. There are also a number of
Indian and Chinese. The English are
represented by few government Off
Gals, merchants and planters. Some
of the old Africans are liberated slaves,
and were rescued by British men-of-
war from slave ships, which formerly
traded in the Indian ocean.
The chief and really only town is
Victoria, which has a population of
some 5000. Here is Government
house, the residence of the admins
traitor, and also the courts of justice,
prison and post office.
The natives, socalled, i. e., the Afri-
cans and Creoles, are almost all Ro-
man Catholics. There are only some
1000 Protestants. There is a Roman
Catholic bishop and cathedral at Vic
toria. The priests are of the Carmelite
order, and very picturesque they look
in their large straw hats, loose brown
habits and sandals. On certain festi-
walls professions take place through
the streets. These are much appre-
ciated by the natives, who are particu-
larry fond of any kind of show or dis
play.
The Church of England is represent
ed by colonial chaplain, who has
charge of st. Paul's church, Victoria,
French clergyman who resides at the
other end of Maize, and a clergyman,
a native of the West Indies, who has
charge OF mission a Prastin-a large
island of the group about 25 miles
from Maize, with population of some
1000. The latter is most interesting
personality. In early years he was
q sailor, whose ship was wrecked ear
the Seychelles. The crew took to the
boats and safely landed on the islands.
The future clergyman then became an
ofhcer in the police force. Subsequent
'y, he worked in TIE Protestant mis-
sion as a catechist, and was eventually
admitted to holy orders. He now, I'M
der the Divine blessing, does quite
remarkable evangelistic work among
the natives of Prastin. He also minis
:ers to the poor lepers, who are con-
fined on a small adjacent island.
Some of the native religious customs
are interesting. Whenever a Protest
ant is thought to be dying, not only
the minister is invariably called, but
also the friends and relatives, who sing
hymns around the sick bed When
death ensues a number of candles are
purchased for the illumination of the
death chamber, and as many as pos
slble of those in attendance remain
till morning. The interment, as in all
tropical countries, has to take place
the next day. At the graveside not only
the minister, but all the mourners,
throw earth on the coffin at the words,
"earth to earth"

STRAIGHT AND TRUE.

Did you ever think what your neighbor'd do
II the world should ever go wrong with
you?
DID you ever think what a change might
come
On your neighbor'5 farm and your neigh
boris home
~ your hand sometime should forget Its
care
Just little here and a little there;
And little fear brings little frown,
And an oversight makes a farm run down?
When the old farm walls. by the storms
displaced,
And the intervales, by the floods defaced,
And the home bounds held by neglect in
fee,
Become what they never were meant TO be-
Did you ever think how the farm near by
Has way Of going likewise awry?
Did you ever think-but the way TO do
Is to keep the boundaries straight andit true.
And to watch the seasons. and guard the
farm
And to save your acres from blight and
harm;
And then thereeare neighbors We ali could
name
Who would take new courage and do the
same.

A Chinese Fable.

Here is a Chinese fable with moral
which might be expressed in English,
Don't monkey with the buzzsaw."
But that is getting the cart before the
horse. II is about a monkey and a
sparrow and is as follows:
A sparrow had its nest half way up
a tree, In the top of which dwelt a
monkey. After heavy rain the spar
row, snug and dry in its warm nest.
saw the monkey shaking his dripping
body and could not refrain from ad
dressing him thus: "Comrade. your
hands are skillful. your strength great.
your intellect clever. Why do you live
In such miserable state? Why not
build snug nest like miner
The monkey. angered at the compla-
cency Of the sparrow. replied: "Am to
be Knocked by an evil creature like
you? Your nest is snug. is itT' And SO
saying he threw the nest to the ground
Moral.-Don't talk with a passionate
man.

less he is regularly and constitutionally
turned out by a revolution. In these
circumstances the president wants you
to rebel and drive him out of the coun-
try next Monday night. He expects
you to hold on to the presidency for,
say. six months, when he will return
and head a revolution that will put him
back in Office again.
THE young captain was at first
knocked all in heap by what l said to
him. but little by little he got to under.
stand that the president was really
anxious for a revolution, and conse-
quently Intimidad agreed to do what
ever his beloved president might de-
sire.
Il spent the rest of the day thinking
out plan of action and in making the
necessary preparations for war. | had
90 rifles brought secretly to the palace
and planted them at the second story
windows. as If they were so many can

should not be visible from the outside
of the palace.

door of the palace with 30 men at pre-
cisely l O'Clock In the morning. His
men were to be provided with nothing
but blank cartridges, and they were to
fire away until the front door could be
broken down, after which they were to
rush into the palace and find that the
president had fed
Il had arranged that the president
was to leave the palace soon after dusk
on the night of the revolution, accom-
panied by single trusty servant to
carry the treasury, and l calculated
that he would be we'll on his way to
the coast before the revolution could
break out.
THE thing that gave me the most
trouble was to provide for the proper
firing of the rifles in the second story
windows of the palace. / couldn't fire
them myself, for it would have been a

The monotony of the Seychelles is
slightly relieved by visits from ~men-
of-war" of all nationalities, which call
chiefly for coal. The writer has seen
at different times, English, French, Ger
man, American, Austrian, Italian and
Dutch ships in the harbor Much ex-
element was caused in 1899 when the
Dutch man-of-war "Friesland" called
en- route for Delagoa bay. 1t was
thought at the time that perhaps this
vessel would take ex-President Kruger
to Europe.
The islands are used like ST. Helena
as place of Punishment. Prempeh
formerly king of Ashanti, is now an
exile at Maize. He has been receiving
mstructio in the Christian faith, and
was, few months ago, regular at.
tendant at the English church.
Unlike England, with it's two or three
climates week, the climate of Sew,
chelles is always very much the same
The temperature all the year round is
from so to 80 degrees Fahrenheit. This
is tempered by gentle sea breezes. The
days and nights are almost the same in
length. 1t is always dark about six
p. m. and light at six a. m.
There are no wild animals in the or
binary sense of the word. Insects, in
the form of centipedes, scorpions and
mosquitoes abound, and there is quite
plague of rats. The latter swarm
everywhere, and are remarkably tame
IN comparison to their English breth-
rem. As one sits on the veranda they
will come out and gambol at your feet;
and at night unless protected by
mosquito curtains they will disturb
your slumbers by making a play
ground of your bed. In several islands
of the group large tortoises are to be
found.
The products of the islands are chief
ly cocoanut oil, coffee, tortoise shell
and vanilla. The latter is an impor-
tant industry. More than one English,
man has made a small fortune by it.

The native weddings are somewhat
striking. The happy bridegroom ar
rays himself, probably for the first
time, IN grand black tail coat md felt
hat generally hired for the occasion.
The bride is usually magnificent in a
dress of pure white, with a very long
train, also generally hired. Together
they thus solemnly proceed through
the streets, followed by an admiring
crowd.
There are several Protestant day
schools where the native children re-
ceive rudimentary education, and
are instructed in the Christian faith.
The patois, to which reference has
been made, is very corrupt form Of
French, mixed with some African
words. An Englishman, who had just
arrived in Victoria, was sitting on his
veranda, when some creole visitors
were announced. He addressed them
in his best French, thinking they would
understand him; but imagine his
establishment when they answered,
I'VE do not understand EDglish!" In
deed, the patois has very little resem-
blance to ordinary French.
AS will be imagined, the islands on
account of their isolated position are
very much cut off from the world.
There is a mail only once month,
and in the writer's time this was very
uncertain. Once we were some seven
weeks without letters. The arrival of
the mail is always the cause of much
excitement. On the day it is expected,
man is stationed on a hill to watch,
and when the ship is in view he HOSTS
flag. There is fortunately a cable to
Zanzibar, and daily a few of Reuters
kilograms are received, which give the
chief items of news. These are printed
and posted in the streets for general
information. During the Boer war
these kilograms were awaited with
feverish interest, especially by the
small English colony.

isolated position makes them almost
terra ncognita. Yet they form by
no means an unimportant part of the
British empire, and have been de-
scrlbed as one of King Edwards
brightest gems.
The Seyche Giles are almost in the mid
die of the Indian ocean, and about GOO
miles northeast of Madagascar. They
consist OF some 80 islands. Maize,
winch is IL miles broad by seven long,
is the largest. They are supposed to
nave been discovered by the early Por-
tugese navigators, and were first col
onlzed by the French in 1902. In 174o
they were captured from the French
by British man-of-war. 1t is an in
teresting fact that as the English
captain had no one to leave in charge
he appointed the French governor pro
TEN. to administer the islands for King
George. 1t was indeed some years be-
fore an English administrator ar
rived.
have described these islands as the
most beautiful in the world, and this
is no eXaggeration. Sailors, and 9th
ers, who have been to all parts, testify
that they have seen nothing to exceed
their loneliness. AS the Seychelles are
almost on the equator, it is perennial
