Ercape From the Settlement Praclle null! Impossible. INo greater miscouceptiun of any pubic: institution prevails to -day than the genera! idea of the leper settlement on the island of Molokai, says a writer in Harper's Weekly. lust -cad et the entire island being teed fur such purpose the settle- ment comprises only eight square miles of a total area of 261 square miles. It occupies a tongue of land on the northern side of Molokai. The north, cast and west shores of this tti.y spit are washed by the Pacific, Mille on tho south side rise piece, pitous cliffs of from 1,800 to 4,000 font, which make the isolation seem ever moro hopeless than the beau- tiful deep blue waters of the sea ever could. The most dillicult and d: rigorous trail, constantly manned by Government guards, foils es- cape, if it were ever contemplated by the, land side. Naturally the fear of being iso - Ivied at the settlement caused the natives to thwart segregation Generally it was done by secretin their afflicted, yet there aro in- stances of lepers using violence to resist, arrest. The necessity of sev- ering ties of the strongest affection involved grief of the deepest de- scription, and many aro the cases of abnegation where the clean haus accompanied the afflicted to the settlement, to die there with them. Then, too, by degrees there grew up the belief among the natives teat terrible mistakes of diagnosis by the physicians were consigning innocc' t and helpless people to the living sepulchre. And_as each year failed to eradicate the ase, - e s had been represented, hut still claimed its toll, the belief became almost universal that a larger pro- portion cf these committed were sacrifices to the despotism and ig- noranco of the white man's medical science that boasted but could not cure. By degrees, as the Government realized the inability of the afflicted to care for themselves, conditions were improved, until finally the au- thorities took entire charge of the lepers, and to -day the appropria- tions for the maintenance and care o! these wards arc most generous, end exceed $125,000 annually. 4.- — _Y IS YOUR CiiILD LAZY! the memory of many now living the 'cut it has assumed a far higher de - disease has become not only far gree of intensity or virulence." more frequent but has also assure- _ o 1 a much more serious form.

Gentlemen,—I wish to crcpresa my appreciation of the 38 hop. Daimler which rc,u have delivered to me. Before ship- ping the car to Canada I made a three weeks' triol of it, cov- ering some 1,200 miles. The car reit perfectly, and I never had the slightest trouble of any kind, and I think it quite lives up to the many claims you make fur it. The silence, smooth- ness of running, and power of acceleration on hills is really remarkable. My petrol consumption was 10 miles to the gallon, includ- ing a great dell of driving in traffic. The tyres show no ap- preciable signs of wear, and I think it will prove light on tyres. I am really delighted with the car.—Yours sincerely, (Signed) C. A. BOONE, of Toronto, Canada.
