south Pacific. They are widely distrlb.
uted, stray individuals having been Sc,
cured on the coast Of New Zealand!
When swimming close to the surface
they exactly resemble an ordinary

below water. At night they come
ashore and lie among the rocks. They
feed On fish, and, although their small
double fangs appear harmless, they are
reported to be very venemous.

People living near the large, but
old, grain warehouse building of J. G..

lieve that their particular portion of

tanned. The loss will be heavy one
to Brady, as hundreds of bushels of
the wheat was scattered over the

A PARTIAL GLIMPSE OF
THE WEST.
BY MAY HEWLETT FERGUSON.
CONTINUED from last week

On the plains we see no plants
except the salt alfalfa, a grass
very much like the kentucky
blue grass. The deserts are
bleak and bare just as they are
on land, no sign Of life. Nos
even the fish stay in the water
above the deserts.
Speaking OF the fish, we see all
kinds from the gold fish to the
minnow. We slop on this trip at
what is termed Seal rock. Here
hundreds of seals are lying on the
rocks basking in the warmth OF
the sun. As we approach them,
the boatman begins knocking on
the vessel with a sledge hammer.
At this, the seals bark like dogs
and some jump into the ocean to
ride to the shore on the waves.
The seal is indeed graceful in
water but is very ugly and gaw-
Ky on land.
We visit moonstone beach, too,
where we find pretty moonstones
and then 10 the jewellers to have
them polished and mounted as
souvenirs of the view which re-
ma ms within the walls Of 1: =
memory as long "a life lasts.
Returning from this beautiful
scenery We visit San Diego, then
to Coronado lsIcnd only a short
distance off the main land at San
Diego. The principal building
OF this island is Hotel del Carona-
do, containing several hundred
rooms. in the centre of this
building is the court containing
the state flower and q number OF
other semi-tropical plants with
the beautiful blue sky as roofing.
Being in Southern California.
our minds next wander to Old
Mexico where we. leaving I'm

;hat there have been few changes

though as a natiors Mexico has
advanced rapidly and Is up-to-
date in various ways. Most Of
the Mexican homes are small.
only one story. They are built
of peculiar brick and have thatch-
ed roofs. The principal sport OF
the Mexicans is bull fighting
which IS indeed exciting.
There r found Indians also,
in Mexico. These not having

~CHEAPENING LABOR.

The fact that in foreign coun-
tries the day laborer receives but
a pittance for a full days work.
or that the tenement dwellers in
great cities are similarly remu-
nerated, does not make cheap
labor desirable when it can be
had AT the expense of the unfor-
tunate. Ii the read OF n great
enterprise receives 4 magnificent
sIlary, it is but just that every
employee OF the establishment be
compensated according to worth
Circumstances may force many
to accept work at starvation
wages but in the long run the
public pays the deficit by keeping
alms-houses and jails.
1t is true that imported labor
has been tried and found efficient
in both north and south. but en-
perience also shows that such la
borers as are content to work for
a mere existance are OF such low
order morally and mentally that
they are undesirable as perma-
nent citizens.
As all know, the slums OF all
great cities, where low wages
have reached a minimum, are
the most fruitful producers of
criminals and paupers. 0cca-
sionaIly some strong, brave spirit
overcomes the disadvantages of
biting want, and comes to the
front as an example of true great
ness, but where one succeeds,
thousands fail, and sink deeper
into degradation.
Not only wage earners, but
workers in every line of industry
suffer when labor is cheap and
necessities high. When the far
mer pays tip top prices for farm
ing implements, clothing, and
supplies, yet receives rock bot
tom prices for cotton ond other
farm produce, honest, needful
labor is cheapened, and Hard
Tines camps on the farm. In
other occupations the cheapeninc
OF labor falls equally, as hard, and
only the independently rich are
the gamers.
An ideal system is where one
and all receive compensation for
work according to services rem.

a DECIDED

In no land that the sun shines
upon does tho poor mans child
have a better opportunity for ris-
ing to prominence or attaining
independence, than in the South
and West. The northern and
eastern cities are crowded with
toiling children who can never
attain to mediocrity in either
physical or mental development,
and the worn out farms OF these
sections a promise little TO the
most energetic hustler. IL is the
South and West that youth finds
abundant opportunities to be-
come bulwarks of our nation.
Throughout the Gulf States,
land is cheap, and the cost OF
wing small. fresh air, healthful
employment and sure remunera-
ton may be had in exchange for
poverty and want which abound
in the great cities.
BY the exercise of Judgment
energy and watchiulness, the
Southern boy or girl can become
the most independent creature
living. A few acres of land, a
few cows, pigs and poultry, as
stock in,,trade can be made i
stepping stones to fortune. The
main trouble is, the advantages
in hand are seemingly too trifling
to call forth our best efforts and
no true success can be achieved
without it.
With telephones, rural delivery
and modern mechanical convent
Q ces, the Southern farm should
no longer be a place of isolation
for unrepaid drudgery, or igno-
rant negro labor, but a modern
Eden, where healthful, pleasant
work and innocent recreations
combine for the happiness, pros
perity and progress Of all who
are wise enough to claim them,
