The syndicate is divided into groups. There are the butter and poultry men, the big fruit men and the small fruit men this fish men and the meat men. The mert men wear big white aprons and white alockinge caps of thick mater- iel, instead of the regulation rig; the fish men wear long blue overalls. TI?' fruit and vegetable men begin work about 11 o'clock at night in the turmoil of the warm wagons. They are through by 5 or 6 o'clock. The meat men legin between 2 and. 4 o'clock and work to 8 or 9. The eay's work is not a long one for ee, Paris, but in the course of it the strew man handles on the average about 45,000 pounds of dead weight. From April to June, when the rush of spring produce is on, the amount 'handled is often vastly greater. The wear and tear is so severe that a majority of the strong men in spite of their strength, break down. com- pletely between 30 and 40 years of age. Very few last to 45. But if the strong man earns his bread by hard and racking toil he is at least well compensated. The corporation in - dudes 600 members, divided into five groups.

Equally satisfac- tory is the increase of child population and the almost entire suppression of the slave bode. The system of loans un- dertaken is working well, Requests for advances with which to buy male or to construct water wheels are frequent, and last year the area of land under culti- vation increased by 102,378 acres, of which 04,555 are artificially irrigated. Schooley are being established, and in in- creasing numbers the local authorities are expressing a willingness to pay rates for educational purposes. There is, wise- ly, no compulsion; it is the British Man to train the people to see the beafitt of such expenditure, and thus gain their support and confidence, From IX Ind of poverty the Soudan is growing into a country of great and increasing produc- tiveness, and. the peace and security of person and property guaranteed by Itra- ish rule make the people glad that the day of the Matilde is past. In other words the British flag flies over a free people and the rights of the humblest are protected. That is why British occupation is popular in the Soudan, 0 • 0 FORESE PLANTING. OUSE SPACING PRODUCES BETTER TREES THAN WIDE SPACING. The closeness of planting and the email size of the trees planted are points about forestry tree planting that are usually very striking to a man used to planting trees for an orchard or for or- namental purposes. A forester, in his planting of trees, usually puts his trees front four to six feet apart each way. Distances less or greater than this have their advocates, but the spacing given above is the one generally used now - Children Cough in the Night?
