STRANGE `FANATICSI
Ascetic Customs and 'Practice of the
Doukhobor" of Canada.
Of the many strange sects which
find followers in some portion or oth-
er of the globe there is none more
eccentric or more Spartan in self-
discipline than the Doukho hors. lt.
is a seet which responds to a call
that brooks xis caviling, no hanging
back.
The people who voluntarily accept
its obligationsirctpose ripen them"
selves, a penance which is calculated.
to test the limit of their endurance.
Humiliation of the flesh is part and
parcel' of their creed. To such ex-
tremes do they carry their fanatical
belithemefs that they are frequently tobe.
seen marching through scorching
heat or bitter cold with practically no
clothing beyond a loin cloth to cover
.
The Doukhobor- snake sacrifices
which surpass in severity thoseof the
most rigid ascetic. They have been
ordered by their leaders to sell their
cattle. They have done iso. . Now
their children are dying for want of
sustenance, Last autumn they were
ordered to sell their sheep, and they
disposed of 15;000. They then sold;
their chickens. Now they are paupers;
Theis leaders, have abolished time..

and pancakes are under the ban, and
their foodis now narrowed down to
potatoes, carrots, onionsand turnips.
According to ' the statement of a°
correspondent who has studied their
customs, 500 .Doukhobors live in two
houses. Every_, mail_ and woman has
a space allotted, which is lust 'four
feet wide. They have to get into their
beds from the foot, so cramped etre.•
their quarters. All eat at big tables
in the centre,
The young men sleep like sardines
in the garret. And, under a new rule,
no Doukhobor may own more than
one shirt. So poor and indigestible is
their food now that most of the •Douk-
hobors are really ill and diseased.

while - ago they were Russians -Quak-

English .Quakeia, they were forced by
m.rsecution to leave their country and
flee to North America. Their English
prototypes went to Pennsylvania more
than two 'centuries ago; the Russians
went to Canada iri 1898. They settled
near Lake Winnipeg. and there they
are ziow, where 300,;000 acr- are ire-

British Asiatics In Canada.
The Right Zion, Alfred Lyttelton,
Secretary of State for the Colonies in
the late Government, has contributed
to the bane of The Standard:. of Em-
pire an articleon the immigration of
British Asiatics to Canada and the
other dominions. Mr. Lyttelton'-
views may be taken to represent the
attitude that will be adopted by the
Unionist party towards this question,
and are, therefore, of considerable .im-
portance. Mr. Lyttelton writes, in
part: "If we look on this matter, not
merely :as affectingthe self-governing
Dominions of the British Empire, but
broadly, the East and the West, it
may be permitted to us to doubt whe-
ther the Western, nations will be able •
always to maintain the position which
they have so firmly taken. For ne
system with even. the appearance of
equity can be constructed which will
•give even temporary . shelter to the
claim by the West for free admission
the open door) to'.the East, and pro,
ibition (the shut door) to the West.
Nothing but plain force, the Mailed
fist in the most palpable form, can
support the dogma of free competi-
tion for Westerns in Eastern lands
and strict monopoly for thein in their
own." Mr. *Lyttelton, however, don -
eludes by deehieing that it appears
almost impossible, at any rate, for the
present, effectually to preserve the
'purity of the race and the industrial
standard of Cenoda except by "laws
restrictive of full industrial freedom
to Asiatic labor." -

PERILS SF COO FISHING.
Hundreds of Lire* Sacrificed on the
Grand Banks..
The perils of •codfishing on the
Grand Banks are tragically illustrated
by the terrible experience of the
French fishing fleet in the past sea-
son, which has lost 10 ships and 200
mon during a single summer. This
is the worst record in the history of
the French flotillas, which have their
headquarters at St. Pierre, Miq., since
1900, when 22 vessels, and nearly 400
Melt were lost in the gale which de-
vastated Galveston, and, working up
the Atlantic seaboard, spent its filial
fury on the Grand Banks.
The St. Pierre flotilla itself has
dropped in five years from 220 vessels
to 70 and the St. Malo fleet has also
suffered a considerable decline.
The roster of recent • years Contains
some striking stories of tragic disaster
to the French fishing. vessels. Ten
years ago. the Valliant, with 72 men,
from St. Malo for St. Pierre. Miq., in
April, struck an iceberg off Cape Race
at midnight in a dense fog and foun-
dered within tee minutes: Of her
whole company only 12 escaped i two
small boats. They were 'adrift for a
week without food, water or adeq'tiate
clothing, bad no protection from the
elements and were stricken with frost-
bite in addition to their other mis-
eries. They perished, one by one till
but three remained. They were pick-
ed tip by t passing vessel and landed
in,_S.t. Pierre,where they' -had to hate
their hands and feet amputated, s'.
frightfully were these extremities af-
fected by the frost.
-The next year the Alsass. was .'d is -
masted and was totally crippled by a
hurricane on the Grand Banks, and of
her crew of 38 m'in all but five were
swept overboard, and these survivors'
remained• on the floating hulk for near-
ly a fortnight, starving because they
were unable to reach the food slip-
plies below, as she had become- water-
logged, so that theywere reduced al
most to skeletons when rescued..•
;As already stated, twenty-two of the
fleet were sunk in the Galveston gale
in1900 and the nett year five. ships
-and .seventy-eight mon were missing
at the close' of the fishery and never a
word was heard from them after. The
.,Jlirondelle:in 1904, -the largest --vessel
in the French fishing flotilla, carrying
forty-five men, was torn from her an-
chorage on the Banks in a gale With
but three people on board.
Of the Hirondelle's crew never a
man returned, nor did the ship herself
with the, three men on.board ever
reach harbor. She was last seen by a
Canadian banker • drifting befpre the
elements with three _ frantically gesti-
culating retches on her deck, butit
was impossible' to afford them relief
and they passed 'out of sight,not to be
seen " by huinan eyes evermore.
The worstindividual tragedy among
the French vessels in late years was.
the loss of the Cousins Reunis, of St.
Malo, early in 1905. This vessel,; a
large :bark, was crossing to 'St:' Pierre
with 150 men to crew;,. number of
fishing vessels lying up there for the'
winter, but she never reached. her-des-
tination.
er•des-tination. becoming no of the world's
-marble mysteries: - •
The French are not the only victims
of fast • liners. • On the 4th of July,
1905, the• American fishing smack. We-;.
nonah was struck by.. the British
steamer •Alcides and sunk within :a•
few minutes, only one man out of the.
nineteen on board being saved. A few
years previously tbo Citv of Rome
struck the Victor, of St. Pierre, with
thirtteee�n men onboard, and in th'
case,''too, there was but one g-
