FM& COLONIES.
Gen, Booties Scheme, as Practised in Hol-
land and Germany:
Attention lias lately been drawn to the
question of far colonies as a means of con-
verting the homeless vagab onds of our
streets into useful laborers. For light upon
the subject it is necessary for us to turn to
the Continent.
The beggar colonies are more analogous to
the training labor colonies which we are
Asked to promote. The two most important
institntionsof this class in existencein Holland
are those at Veelutizen and Oremerseb.aus,
which in 1886 contained 2,020 and 400
inmates respectively. These colonies are
supported by the State, and are occupied tor
themost part by beggars and drunkards Com -
mated to them for definite periods at the
instance of the police authorities. Destitute
persons, however, are also admitted on their
own:application (oreiwilligers). The colonists
are trained and oecupied in farmwork and
other industries, andtheyreceivesmallwages
for their labor; they have every opportunity
afforded them of exchanging a life of vag-
rancy and cadging for one cf honest work.
The results, however, in this direction are
very slight. Most of the inmates on their
discharge return to theirforerier occupations;
readmiesioiss are the rale rather than the
exception ; and of 3;253 persons who were
in the colonies iu December, 1885. 425 only
were there for the first time, while forty-
three bed been admitted fifteen times or
more. In view of these facts Englishmen
would scarcely regard such labor colonies
as a good investment for their philanthropic
capital. Whoa Sir John McNeil visited
the Dutch colonies in 1853 he reported to
the board of SuperViatill for the ROW of the
poor in Scotland that it took fifteen colonists

There is a sound of shouting before Pilate's
palace. Jesus has been brought back from
Herod. Pilate sits again in Judgment, the
street without is thronged with an excited
multitude. The sun m up, and the city is
astir.
The crowd cries out to Pilate to keep the
Governor's custom. At that feast the Roman
Governor gave the people the power of
pardon. They might open the prison gates
and take one prisoner out. Pilate hopes
that they may choose the Prophet of Nazar-
eth. It would seem a reasonable hope. The
Prophet of Nazareth had been the people's
champion. He had preached especially to
them, and they had listened gladly. He
had gone about among. them, healing their
sick, helping them, doing good, giving His
strength m thew service. Was there none
=there on whom those blessed healing hands
bad rested? Was there none who had been
led from darkness in light, from grief to
peace, following the guiding of this Master ?
Was there no weary and heavy laden one
among them all who had fonnd rest? Where
were they who had carried the jtalm branch-
es, and sung the silelujahs? They were all
hostile, or silent. Not a voice was raised
for Christ by anybody. 11. 18 not Jesus of
Nazareth they want. Another will please
them better. Let us have Barabba.s. And
Barabbas was a robber.
. "What then shall I 410 2» asks Pilate,
"with Jesus who is called Christ ?" And
back comes the answer, a hundred times re-
peated, swelling into a dreadful, universal
clamor, " Crucify Him!" " Crucify Him I"
"Crucify Him 1'
"'Why, what evil bath He done ?" de-
mands the Governor. " I have found no
cause of death in Him. I will therefore
obastiee Him, and let Him go."
"And they were instant with loud voices:
requiring that He might be crucified."
Pilate is afraid. This great tumultuous,
ehouting mob, utterly bereft (mob like) of
sense and heart, this disorderly, wild, threat-
ening, insane, savage mob scares Piliete. He
does net dare to stand tor justioe in the face
of it, He does dare, however, to rnake his

en COURSE OF CONSTRUCTION,
for the Royal and other navies. In this
case the Admiralty decided upon the nature
of the gun to be carried before finally deter-
mining upon the character of the ship.
"There was," we are told, "a considerable
weight of opinion that a 12 -inch gun of
modern design, and of about 50 tons in
weight, might be made which would possess
sufficient power for most purposes; but,
as no such gun was in existence, and as guns
of 75 tons in weight were carried in exist-
ing foreign ships, while the 67 -ton 14 -inch
gun was thoroughly successful, and all the
details of the amunition and mounting had
been settled, it was generally agreed that,
for the three leading battleships, 67 -ton
guns were to be preferred for the heavy ar-
mament." This decision has since been
applied to all the ships of the class.
As befits her enormous bulk and weight,
the construction of the ship has been made
exceptionally strong. The hull aloneabserbs
not less than 9,640 tons of the total dis-
placement, and of that amount about 7,200
has been worked into the structure since the
keel plate was laid down on October 1,
1889, up to the time of the floating out of
dock, a period of less than 17 months. This
is a record of progress which is believed to

Curiosities of the British Penson List.
For nearly eighty years the House of
Commons has been accustomed to vote a
pension of M a year to a person who ap-
pears in the Estimates as the "Daughter of
a Toulonese emigrant" What her name is,
and why her father's emigration established
a claim on the British taxpayer, are ques-
tions frequently asked in the House of Com-
mons but never answered. The general
vague impression is that theunknown father
of this anonymous daughter emigrated at
the time that Napoleon was a captain in the
French artillery and began to distinguish
himself at Toulon, and that is nearly a hun-
dred years ago. The Treasury recently dis-
covered that the lady is dead, and this year,
for the first time within the memory of liv-
ing man, this sum of Z10 will not be asked
for in Committee of Supply. A pension of
£1000 ceased to be payable when the Mar-
quis of Normany died; but notwithstanding
this saving there is an increase of £2080 in
the Estimates this year for superannuation
allowances th colonial governors. The ad-
ditional allowances which explain this net
increase are three of E1000 each to the re-
tired Governors Sir H. Robinson, Sir John
Pope Hennessy, and Sir A. H. Gordon ; and
one of £80 to Mr. E. Laborde, formerly Ad-
ministrator of St Lucia.

Murder in the United States
There were 4290 murders in the United
States last year, and in five previous years
there were respeetively 3567, 2814, 2335,
1449 and 1808. These figures show that
murders are becoming more frequent each
year. Ia 1890, while there were 4290 mur-
ders committed, the numbers of criminals
put to death was only 228, of whom 102 were
legally executed and 126 lynched. The
number of legal executions was higher and
the number of lynchings lower than in any
of the five preceeding years. The proportion
of murders to legal executions is as 41 to 1,
and the legal executions and lynchings com-
bined is as 19 *0 1. The Albany Journal in
commenting upon these facts says: "In the
older states pries are becoming more and
more reluctant to bring in a xerditet of guilty
when the penalty is death, and as a conse-
quence hundreds of criminals each year go
unpunished."
