Now, that's a pretty strong settingout from a namby-pamby, milk -and -watery, bere-today-and-away-toanorrow sheet like The Templar, but when we remember that Csonsiraander•in-Chief W. W. Buchanan writes his fighting editorials dreseed out in a full set of regimentals—(you may have ,Been his warlike figure with a cocked hat end sword and a full armament of whiskers in reports of encampment meetings)—it is easy to account for the volley of sarcasm and the hot shot of outraged temperance sentiment which appears in The Templar's editorial broadside. As for the contrast of the respective opinions of Archdeacon Farrar and the editor of the Signal, we can inform W. W. Buchanan that this journal knows more about the growth of temperance sentiment in Ontario4iuring the past thirty years than the English divine will ever know, and we know nearly as much about the same subject ns W. W. Buchanan, although our total abstinence principles are not merely for se -venue purposes. What has W. W. Buchanan done for the temperance cause that he hasn't been paid for? Where are the jewels in his •crown to Show of those whom he has re- claimed and made sober by all his rantings zip and down the country ? What good has he accomplished in Hamilton in improv- ing tbe sobriety of the city where he resides? Why, if one were to believe what he writes in the Templar, Hamilton is a shik of iniquity so far as the cause of tem- perance is concerned; and this, too, not- withstanding the fact that the great and Indy W. W. Bucbanan resides there and =alma temperance addresses and edits the Templar. Then, this gentlemanly temperance editor gets away from the temperance question and refers to the editor of the Signa2 as " annexationist McGillicuddy." Admit- ting that the editor of the Signal favors 'Continental Union, what has that to do with the question of temperance 2 Does this same W. W.

Provisions for Scholastio arid Relkious Instruction, CLIMATIC CONDITIONS, ETC. (By Bev. W. Ormiston, I). D., LE. D.) In previous communications I have re - /erred to the marvellous, genial, ;salubrious and health -restoring character of the climate; to the richnese and imparelleled productiveness of the soil ; to the varied, exuberant and bounteous yield of grain and vegetables,fruits and flowers ; to the unique, picturesque, grand and sublime scenery ; and to the diversified, intelligent, progressive and rapidly -increasing popula- tion of this fascinatingly attraotive legion, on the coast of the Pacific. I will now advert to the provisions made for the scholastic and religious culture of the people. • All over the State, and especially in the 11outhern (mantissa numerous epacaous, COM- ntodioue and well -furnished echool-houses have been erected. The architecture of many of them would do credit to any East- ern town or city. The funds required were raised by local assessment Even in small villages, and in rural sections, oft, seemingly in sparsely -settled district's, the school- house is the most striking feature in the landscape. Teaohers are generally well qualified, and, in most cases, fairly re- munerated. Nearly all the children of school age attend regularly. Many of them ride or drive to school, and around the school -house during school hours may be seen buggies, carts and saddles, from which small horse's, mules or burros have for th,e time been relieved. In no State of the Union is more ample provision made for common schools than in California. Li addition to the common :schools numerous high schools, with properly -graded classes, are found in the cities, towns and villages. Grammar schools, where pupils of both sexes are pre- pared for college or seminary (which are generally well attended, and in which effective work is being done), are also pro- vided. In the county of Los Angeles alone (to which I chiefly refer in these articles) there are not less than ten or twelve, situated in Los Angeles City, Pasadena, Monrovia, Gladstone, Lordsburgh, Ontario, San Bernardino, Riverside and other locali- ties. The Presbyterians', Methodiats and Bap- tists have each a denominational college, struggling, it is true, with financial diffi- culties, but prospering and hopeful. Seminaries for 'Young Ladies, Schools of Art and Design, and Conservatories of Music have also been opened. Thus a varied and liberal education is within the reach of all who desire it. In the northern part of the State, near San Francisco, is situated the University of California, which is well equipped. And at Palo Alto, south of San Francisco, has recently been erected and established the Leland Stanford Junior University, which, in the extent and massiveness of its build- ings, the elegance of its accommodations, the attract)veness of its surroundings, its varied and well selected apparatus, and facilities for imparting instruction in every department of learning, classical, scientific, philosophical and literary, in the number and efficiency of its staff of professors, and in the amount of its endowments, is not aur - passed, if equalled, in any of the older States of the Union—all the libezal and patriotic gift of the Hon. Senator Stanford, as a memorial of his only son, who was sud- denly removed in the •spring -time of his years. lyIrs. Stanford not only cordially co- operates with her generous husband in this great work, requiring the investment of mil- lions of dollars, but also gives largely to other benevolent and philanthropic institu- tion& With regard to tho religions condition, aspect and prospect of this section of country they are similar to those of other newly -settled territories. Owing to the fact that people came with their predilec- tions in favor of the denomination to which they have belonged, or in which they have been reared, the church organizations are too numerous. Frequently in small villages and thinly -populated, districts, four or live different. sleets *seek to organize congrega- tions. Of cours,e many of them are too small for Selfssupport, and they depend largely for aid on the Home Missuin Board of the East. • Presbyterians, Congregation- alists, Baptists, Methodiets and Episcopa- lians often have churches, standing side by side, when one, or two at moat, would ac- commodate all the worshippers. In the Presbytery of 11013 Angeles there are seventy congregations. A few of them in the city and, larger towns are strong, and not only self-supporting, but contribute freely to aid the weaker ones around them. Nearly all the congregations are supplied with pas- tors from the East or South, who come to California for their own health or that of their families. A very large proportion of the population attend upon public worship at least once a day, and a goodly number unite with the churches as c ten111 i ts. At present a good deal of religious interest has been awakened in Los Angeles through the labors of Rev. B. F. Mills, -with whom nearly all the pastors of the city have unitedly and harmoniously co-operated. Crowded meetings have been held, and many have profeseed a desire for salvation. It is too soon yet to form any just opinion as to the extent and permanency of the re- sults, though doubtless much good has been accomplished i and all the churches aroused to increased liberality and ectivity.

The balmy air is perennial in its freshness. Hence the coutinual growth of trees and plants and the ceaseless' bloom of flowers. The winters are as mild as the 'spring months of the Eastern States, and the 'summers, owing to the rarification and dry - nem of the air, and the cool breezes daily' from the ocean, are, notwithstanding the high temperature, peculiarly salubrious and even highly enjoyable. The temperature gradually varies from mountain to sea. The sureseorched elope of the mountain, the upland mesas, the warm, dry valleys, the shaded canyon) with its crystal stream of water, the headlands on the sea, and the broad sand -beach on which the waves of the Pacific quietly break, furnish such a variety of climatic conditions as are adapted to the needs of every class of invalids, and afford most at- tractive homes foe families making a tem- porary sojourn, or seeking a permanent residence. People who desire a delightful home, with charming surroundings, with easy labor and pleasurable pursuits, can live here less ex- pensively than almost anywhere else. No man willing to labor need be idle. Employ- ment and fair wages await the willing worker. All who oorne hither with the honest purpose to obtain a livelihood, or to spend a few months of leisure in pleasant pastime, will find a hearty welcome, and will not be disappointed. E.' Ow, n. The latest Addition to the Navy 81' Great Britain. The first -plass protected cruiser Gibraltar, one of nine very similar vessels, the build- ing of which was authorized by the Naval Defence Act of 1889, was launched yester- day from the yard of Messrs. R. Napier & Sons at Govan, near Glasgow. The Gib-' ralar differs from some of her eight sisters in the fact that, being wood -sheathed and coppered, she has a alightly larger displace- ment. The other sheathed and coppered ships of the class are the Royal Arthur, late Centaur, Crescent and St. George, and the displacement of each will be 7,700 tons. The unsheathed ships, the Edgar, Hawke, Endymion, Grafton and Theseus, displace but 7,350 tons apiece. The name Gibraltar is a very old andhon- °sable one in the Royal Navy, and the new ship is the eighth that has borne it. The Ship, which was launched yesterday, is a steel twin-screw cruiser of 7,700 tons dis- placement, and 12,000 indicated horse power, with triple expansion engines by Messrs. Napier, the builders of the hull. She is 360 feet in length and 60 feet in breadth, and she will, when ready for sea, draw rather over 24 feet of water. There are 6 boilers with 48 furnaces. The cylinders are of 45 in., 59 in. and 88 in. in diameter respectively, with 9;51 -inch stroke. It is calculated that 'developing 5,500 horse power the ship will have a speed of 16 knots ; developing 10, 000 horse power, a speed of 181 knots; and developing 12,000 horse power with a forced draught, a speed of 19a knots. The coal capacity is 850 tons, and the radius of action at economical speed is 10,000 miles. The armament will consist of one 9.2 in. 224on gun, mounted on the poop, two 6 in. 5a -ton quick -firing guns, mounted on the forecastle; ten 6 in. 5a -ton quick -firing guns, mounted five on each broadside, six being on the upper, and four, in sponsons, on the main deck ; twelve 6 pounder quick -firing; three 3 -pounder ouick-firing ; eight machine guns; two field or boat guns, and four 14 in. torpedo ejectors. The protective deck has a maxi- mum thickness of 5 in., and a minimum thickness of 2 in., and is of steel. Above and below the slopes of it there are coal bunkers. As the engines rise somewhat above the steel deck, the upper parts of them are protected by 5 in. inclined plates backed with teak. The conning tower is of 12 in. plates ; the larger guns are pro- tected by steel shields'and, in addition to very numerous watertight compartments, there is a double bottom amidships. The total estimated cost of the vessel is just over £340,000, of which about £188,000 is for hull, masts and rigging, and £100,000 for machinery. The Gibraltar will have two funnels and two light masts, and will, like the others of her class, be fitted as a flagship —London Times. Felons and Their Faces. Some surprise is expressed that the pub- lished portraits of the murderer Deeming show him to be a man of honest and even benevolent appearance. There seems to be no good reason, however, why an expert criminal should have the hangdog look of a thief or the hardened face of a petty male- factor. Detectives nowadays place less re- liance than ever before on the convicting testimony of a suspected criminal's physi- ognomy. The "blush of guilt," the "thief's eye," and other signs once regarded as in- criminating,have gone the way of other myths. It is the mild-mannered man who scuttles ships, and it is the smiling rogue who does the great deeds of villainy—a fact which Shakespeare knew as well as the modern detectives. A glance at the faces of America's great bank burglars, confi- dence men and counterfeiters, as shown in Inspector Byrne's book, easily proves that Deeming's face is no exception to the rule of noted criminals possessmg the features of innocence and respectability. -.N.

Tna Building and Loan Associations enable men who are in receipt of small but steady incomes to acquire homes of their own. Mr. Entatue Wiman has worked in the life ha surance idea along with the loan e.seociation on his Staten Island property. He says The weak point which the Building -Loan Association movement seemed to possess was that in the event of the death of the wage-earner, the inability of the window and children to keep up the instalraente and interest due on the mortgage held', by the association imperiled the loss of the home. My plan is, through the Travelers' Life In, surauce Compaby, to insure the life of the wage-earner for the unpaid instalments, he paying a entail monthlyprenlium into the associationi with his nsteinfients, which premium gradually diminishes as these in. stalments extinguish the debt.

I • stated to some friends in Paris after I had met the Prince at the ball, that if I were a woman, there is but one man in the world that I knew of that I would be willing to marry for love, and that man is the Prince of Wales. So you may readily imagine that I was ready to excuse the crowds of women who fall in love with him. "Since then, I presume, some of his per- sonal attractions have departed.

Euthanasia is a medical word which stands for the feeling of happiness imme- diately preceding death; for it is known now that death is really a pleasureable sen- sation. Even men meeting a violent death in the jaws of wild beasts have a few moments of calm preparation before dying, vehich bring relief and a certain degree of satisfaction. The pleasures of dying can only be likened to those of the dreamy morphine -eater, who gradually passes off into a senu-consmous state, where every- thing seems like floating visions of bliss. The body and nerves are numb, and the ex- cited, overwrought brain becomes quiet and unexcited. The imagination plays fancifully witlablissful pictures, and the whole et:M- aki= of the nervous system is of pleasur- able exaltation. The drowning man experiences the same relief and pleasure when the struggles are over and the cold limbs grow stiff and numb, writes Dr. Atkinson in the Yankee Blade. Persons frozen in blinding snowstorms have reported their sensations accurately, and they all agree that after a certain amount of suffer- ing they enter intoa blissful statefromwhich they do not wish to be roused. Morphine, cocaine, ether and laudanum bring to the patient this same mental and nervous con- dition, and patients resent any attempt to rouse them from their dreamy state. Nature provides her own anmathetic ,before the important moment has arrived. Before the death rattle is heard the convulsed frame relaxes'the signs of pain and suffering on the face disappear, and often a smile partly opens the lips. The whole body shows signs of a painless moment, and if the mind wanders and the tongue utters words they are all of pleasure and joy. Those who have watched at hundreds of deathbeds have noted that death was easy, and officers in battles have testified that the last moments of dying soldieks were pain- less ones. People who have been in the jaws of wild beasts in India, and have been rescued at the last moment, testify that a numbing calmness was experienced after the sharp, painful snap of the teeth upon themin fact the approach of every creature's fate brings with it a kindly preparation when life is blissful and full of pleasure. The last sensation in this world is, then, one of joy and not excruciating pain. Ingalls on Christ.

The King of Siam has just had a pavilion of glass built for himself by a Chinese archi- tecr, the material for which, our Paris cor- respondent says, was furnished by a French company. Walls, floors and ceiling are formed of slabs of different sorts and thick- nesses of glass, joined by impermeable cement. By one door only can the King enter, and this closes hermetically when he comes in, and ventilator valves in tall VI:as in the roof open, as does also a sluice 1 eside a large reservoir in which the glass house stands. The transparent edifice then becomes submerged and the King thus finds bimself in a cool and perfectly dry habita- tion, where he passes the time singing, smoking, eating and drinking.—London News. People Should Not Sleep Together. Persons often ask: "Is it healthful for two persons to sleep in the same bed. ?" This same question is varied thus: "Is it bealthful for an aged and a very young per- son to sleep together? If not, which suffers moreathe aged or the young person? We have often answered these questions by say- ing no to the flat question. 11 18 always un- healthful for two persons to sleep together in the same bed and under the same covers. The air under the bed cevers immediately surrounding the body of the sleeper is ex- ceedingly impure, becoming more and more impregnated with poisonous substances escaping through the excretory glands of the skin from the moment the person retires until he arises. The odor of thabedclothing, after having been occupied for a night is often positively offensive to the nostrils of a person with an unimpaired sense of smell—especially one who has just come in from outdoors, where the fresh, pure air has been breathed. The poisonous charactor of this under-the-bedolothes air would be somewhat more likely to affect the susceptible constitution of a child than that of an adult. In elderly persons the amount of the impurities in the air sur- rounding the sleeper must be greater than in younger persons; consequently, wnile both persons would be more or less injured, • the proportion of harm would doubtless be greater to the young person than to the person of more advanced years. Mr. Treves, of the London Hospital, has called attention to the fact that wounds, especially of the lower limbs, heal much sooner when exposed to the open air, instead of being covered by bedclothing. He remarks that the air under the bedclothbas is foul and ahnost hot, and hence likely to be very harmful to wounds with, which it may come in contact. —Good Health. A flutter has been caused in theosophical societies by the report that Annie Bess,nt is likely to become reconciled to her husband, Rev. Frank Besant, the vicar of Sebsey, Boston.

We quoted a few days ago from Black-. wood's Magazine a statement that two- thirds of the people of the United States never enter a church, and a suggestion that a large proportion of those who do go to church are by no means religious. It is only fair to present the other side of the story. Dr. H. K. Carroll, special agent of the census of the churches, contributes to the Forum for June an article which con- tains a summary of the most important facts gathered by the Government's investi- gation. Nobody but special students of the subject is aware of the prodigious number of religious sects in the United States. For instance, there are at least fifteen branches of Methodists, not less than nine of Pres- byterians and more of Baptists ; all which Dr. Carroll adduces in evidence of.the very utmost religious freedom in the United States. "No tendency of the time," he says, "seems to me so powerful an im- pulse as that toward liberalization. This explains in large degree, I think, the multiplication of divisions. The division of the Presbyterian Church in 1837 into new and old school branches was the meat striking instance our 'history has afforded of the liberal ideas in theology, not even excepting the Unitarian controversy among the Congregational Churchee." The in- crease in church membership has been larger during the decade 1880 to 3890 than it has generally been supposed to be, as the fol- lowing examples -will show: The Method- ists, at once the largest and most aggressive denomination, have about 2,250,000 mem- bers, a gain in ten years of more than 500,000, and the percentage of gain is 30 per cent. —5 per cent. more than the gain in population. The Presbytmians show an isicrease of 30 per cent. the Luth- erans, 60 per cent. ; but even this high percentage is surpassed by the Jews, who increased from 50,000 members of synagogues in 1880 to 130,000 members in 1890, an increase of 160 per cent. The Congregational Church increased 33 per cent. The returns of the Catholic Church in 1880 were obviously incorrect, as the showing of the Catholic increase is less than 16 per cent., the estimated Catho- lic population being nearly 6,500,000. The total number of communicants of all denom- inations according to the census, 1890, is 12,500,000, as against less than 10,000,000 in 1880—an average gain of more than 28 per cent. So far as a statiatical view of church members can make a showing of the progress of the churches, there is no such lack of popular interest in religion as among many circles of thought there is supposed to be. Dr. Carroll's article is the first publica- tion in any sense complete of the ceases work of tbe churches thus far made. A Mead Secret.
