of the World.
By J. G. A. Creighton, in October Scribner's,
;CONCLUDED.) .
Fort Macleod, the oldest post of all, in
the heart of the rich ranching country of
seuthern Alberta, commanding the
southern passes through the Rock-
ies, and separating t'^e Blackfeet from the
Bloods and Piegans, as well as keeping
watch over the Montana border, has al-
ways been an important place, and two
divisions are stationed there. A typical
Western frciptier townthas grown up round
it, and the southern extension of the Cal-
gary easel Edmonton Railway, by bridging
the hundred miles that separated it from
the Canadian Pacific line, has added still
more to its popularity as a station. Leth-
bridge, 50 miles to the eastward, which re-
places old Fort Walsh, now quite deserted
and in ruins, is a flourishing mining town,
and the present terminus of the Alberta
Railway and Coal Company's Line, which,
-under lease to the Canadian Pacific Railway,
is now being extended through Macleod and
the Crow's Nest Pass. It is the head-
quarters of an important district just to
the northward of the Indian tribes across
the border, Maple Creek and Calgary
form, with Regina, a line on the Canadian
Pacific Railway, intermediate between the
frontier and the northern posts. Maple
Creek, but for the railway passing through
it, is still an isolated prairie post, while
Calgary, at the gate of the Bow River Pass,
has in a decade developed into an enter-
prising little city of brick and stone, with
churches, banks, theatres, electric lighting
and electric street railway. Its Gaelic
name, " the river of clearwater," was
Colonel Macleod's apt christening of its
sharp ride for perhaps a hundred miles or
more in pursuit of horse thieves ; prairie
fires are watched for and put out if possible;
the Indian Reserves are visited, and note
taken of the doings there. Each patrol
makes a written report, which, with the
diary kept at the outpost, is sent in weekly
to the Divisional Head -quarters. In this
way a general supervision is maintained ;
the Police know all the his and oats of the
district, and are in constant touch with the
people. It is trying work, though ; hard
rides in all weathers, from daylight to dark:
fording dangerous rivers,, for ferries and
bridges are luxuries yet to come in most
parts of the Northwest a scorching sun
and. the incessant plague of the mosquitoes
in the summer months ; and often enough a
night's lodging on the open prairie, with a
tiny fire of twigs to cook the supper, and a
turn at guarding the horses.
The statutory duty of the Mounted Police
is to carry out in the Northwest Territories,
and, if required so to do, in every:province
of Canada, the criminal and other laws of
the Dominion. Something of what this
phrase means niay have been gathered from
what has already been said. There is hard-
ly anything they have not to turn their
hands to in the variedcircumstances of the
vast country through which they are scat-
tered. It has been truly said that their
life is one continual campaign. Offenders
are arrested and tried before the officers,
who sit in conjunction with local maxis-
rates if possible: Prisoners for short terms
are guarded in the cells of the post, those
sentenced to over two years have to be es-
corted to the Manitoba Penitentiary,a duty
which, before the railway was built,involv-
ed rides of many hundreds. of miles. The
enforcement of the prohibitory liquor
law, under which nobody could have intoxie
cants in his possession ` without a special
"permit," gave a great deal of work. Every
vehicle was examined, and many a traveller
on the Canadian Pacific has waked in won-
der at the red -coated apparition clanking
through the sleeping car. Bibles and
prayer -books contrived for spirituous re-
freshment; eggs filled with whiskey; coal -oil
barrels built round kegs' of fire -water; canned
tomatoes with one tin in a daaen of very
potent quality ; and clump -soled boots that
must have been water-proof—they held so
much pure alcohol—are only a few speci-

A SERIOUS WARNING.

twin streams: Calgary and Macleod have
always been coveted stations ; the beauti-
ful region in the foothills of the Rockies
and the mildness of the short winter, which
is tempered by the warm Chinook winds
- from the Pacific, causing them to he known
as "God's country" to the men stationed
inthe eastern portion of the Territories.
Prince Albert, Battleford, and Fort Sas-
katchewan, the remaining three divisional
head -quarters, are far to the northward on
the banks of the North Saskatchewan, in a
-region where broad stretches of rich, long
grass are. broken by copses of poplar and
birch, with numerous lakes and "sloughs."
Beyond the great river is the southern
border 'o€ the forest which separates
the wheat -growing plains ,of the south
from the `rocky, moss -covered, " barren
lands " within the Arctic .Circle. Prince
Albert, the easternmost of the three,origin-
ally a half-breed settlement, is now a thriv-
ing townand the centre of a flourishing
district. Within the last twoyears the-
- -railway has stretched out a long arm. to _ it,

the Red River cart, and the prairie schoon-

Division, under Stmerintendent Steele,
after marching from Macleod to Swift Cur-
rent; were taken to Golden City by rail,'.
and thence made their way by trail along
the Columbia to the Kootenay country,
where they built themselves a post and
established outposts. They soon put down
the disorders, and in the following summer
marched through the Crow's Nest Pass,
over the mountains, 200 miles back to Mao-
leod, repairing the rough pack trail and
making bridges by the way. In fact, as
was said of the Police in 1830, when they
first furnished an escort fora Governor-
General, " with the discipline of regular
soldiers they are as handy as sailors."
Horses, as well as men, to stand such
work must he of the best. It was soon
found that Eastern horses took jtoo long to
acclimatize and did not equaF"the : native
bronchos in endurance and hardiness. All
those used now are bought in the country,
except a few for driving -teams. The best
come from the Alberta ranches, where the
original broncho stock has been greatly
improved by thorough -bred blood. They
are tough, wiry animals, standing about
fifteen hands, with good heads, sound feet,
and short backs, and well up to the weight
they carry. --They frequently have to travel
50 miles a day for a week at a time, and in
the South want of water often compels this
rate to be exceeded. Lord Lorne's escort
travelled 2,072 miles, at an average of 35
miles a day. An officer on his staff said
that a month of such work would break up
his regiment, a crack English cavalry corps.
In 1879 one troop marched 2,1.00 miles with-
in four months, but many of the men had
done much more individually,and one of
them had 7,000miles to his credit during
the year. On downright duty in .1889, not
including exereise or drills, 376 horses of
four divisions travelled the amazing distance
of 646,8?5 miles, an average for each horse
of 1,720 miles during the`year.' In 1886 "F"
Division had to go from Battleford to
Regina, marching at night on account
of the heat, and spending thifteen
hours out of each twenty-four in the
saddle, and they covered: the 240 miles in
five days and a half. A patrol of 80 mount-
ed men without anyapare horses, and with
12 heavily loaded teams travelled 650 miles
in 22 days, on. t wo of which they marched
4C and 42 miles without water. As may
be supposed, great care and judgment is
shown in the treatment of the horses ; at
that Can be spared are turned out to shift
for themselves in winter after native fashion
and profit greatly by the long rest. The
saddle used is of the -California pattern
and sore backs are of rare occurrence. -
It may be said that such instances re-
present work done under special conditions
andin the most favorable 'circumetanees
On the contrary, they are taken at random
from official reports -of ordinary duty. In
the Rebellion of 1885 a detachment under
Major Perry marched 928 miles in- 38 days,
an average of 24 miles a day, hauling a gun
weighing 38 hundred -weight over prairie.
trails nearly impassable- from the nand,
fording rapid rivers swellan by the spring
freshets, and crossing lakes and deep morass-
es, without losing a horse. The die isional
orders of Major-General Strange attest
that that gun was mainly instrumental
in demoralizing Big Bear's band in the en
gagement eat: Frenchmen's Butte.. The
same detachment scouting between Bettie -
ford and: Fort Pitt covered 130 miles in 36
hours without a horse giving out.
My testimony may savor of gratitude for
kindness and hospitality received 'from
commandant down to the solitary trooper
who has shared his supper with me and
given up his bed. The Mounted Police.
have come under the notice and invariably
won the admiration of many much more
qualified. judges. Theyhave escorted
princes of the blood-, general officers, and
Governors -General, and this is what Lord
Lorne olid them when bidding them .good -
by at Fort Shaw, Montana. The first
words allude to the compliment paid him
and them by the parade of the United
States troops in their honor. -
"That goodfellowship whichexist
between, soldiers is always to the -fifties
extent nhown'between ` you and our kind
friends. This perfect understanding is
to be expected, for both our empires—un-
like acme others, send out to their distant
frontier posts not, theirworst, but some of
their very best then. I have asked -for this
parade this morning_ to take leave of you,
and to express my, entire satisfaction at the
manner in which. your duties have been
performed. You have: been subjected to
soniesearching.criticism, for on. ray staff
are officers who have served in the cavalry,
artillery, and infantry: Their unanimous
verdict is to the effect that they have never
seenwork better, more willingly,' or more
smartly done while under circumstances of
some difficulty causedby bad weather or
otherwise. Your appearance on parade was
always ' s clean and bright and soldier like
as possible. Your force is often spoken of
in Canada as one: of which Canada is justly
proud. It is well that this pride is so fully
justified, for -your duties are most impor-
tant and varied. The perfect confidence in
the maintenance of the authority of the
law prevailing over these vast Territories,
a confidence most necessary, : with < the
settlement now proceeding, shows how
thoroughly you have done _your:. work..".
Black Bread.
There is no doubt that the Germans are
the strongest people on earth, andprolably
the most prolific, and I believe it is owing
to their eating black bread, says Chambers' -
Journal. A. great deal of the nourishment

done by all civilized nations. The bread is
made: more palatable, perhaps more diges-

but of the celebration in honour of Father
John of Cronstadt there is mach to relate
that is strange and interesting. -
Father Ivan, or John, of Cronstadt,.
known and revered in every nook and cor-
ner of Russia, has hitherto been almost en-
tirely unknown to British readers ; but a
circumstance . recently reported by the
_British chaplain at" Cronstadt =seems to
indicate that the Christian influence of this
remarkable priest of the Russian Church
has at last found its way even into the
United Kingdom. . A short time ago a let-
ter reached thea British- clergyman at Cron-
stadt addressed
ron-stadtadilressed in English to the parish
priest of that port. It came from a corre-
representative,is plain. He devoted the
entire day to visiting the Canadian exhib-
its, only stopping long enough for luncheon
at the Dominion building, then:started out
again. The Earl and Conntesfs had nothing
but expressions of amazement and admir•
ation over the displays. Though too much
taking up with sight-seeing to. find time
for words, his Excellency has promised to
give his opinion later, when he heu''had
time to digest the feast of - grandeur
Exposition, -and especially that from the
Dominion of Canada. He took a deep inter-
est in the educational exhibits, and made
a careful study of every display hi the
Canadian department. The visit to Horti-
cultural hall, where the fruits are displayed,
was a revelation to him. 'He said that:
since viewing it, and'especially the Ontario
exhibit, he has a much higher, - opinion of
the country than. ever before: The display..
of roots also attracted much attention_from
him. Ontario makes the only display.. in
fruits of note from Canada, and 000upies,
all the original 'space devoted to :her as
well as that assigned the North-West Ter-
ritory,' and one-third of the space allotted
to the State of Washington._ While he
could not -view the mining display . as an
expert, he was enthusiastic, and much sur-
prised to know that the Ontario exhibitcon-
tains every known mineral except coal and
tin. The agricultural and other" exhibits
were also given as much attention as the
limited time allowed, and nothing butpraise
was . heard. The great object lessons can-
not be anything but - beneficial to Cana-
da.
- AN INFORMAL DINNER.
To -night an -informal dinner was given
at the Virginia hotel to the Governor-
General. Corers "were laid for twenty, and
only the Dominion and provincial officials
on duty at the Fair were present, as it is
the desire of his Excellency to meet those
gentlemen and ,'become better acquainted.
CANADA'S CHEESE AWARDS.
The result of the fine cheese competition
at the World's Fair is published to -night,
and is of startling significance to all inter-
ested inthe dairy industry of the Dominion
of Canada. The cheese was judged by two
United States and one Canadian judge. In
the class for cheddar cheese made previous
to 1893, Canada won 103 awards, and the
United States not one In classes for vhed-
dar cheese of the year's make, Canada took
369 -awards, against 45 to the United States.
Canada had 130 exhibits of cheese which
scored higher than the highest of the Unit-
ed. States exhibit. Ontario had 275 ex-
hibits of cheese of 1893, and won 260.
awards. Five lots scored 99 1-2 points out
of a possible hundred for perfection.
Quebec had 113 exhibits of cheese, and won
105 awards. Nova Scotia had ten exhibits,
and secured three awards. New Brunswick
had four exhibits and `obtained two awards.
Prince Edward Island had nineteen exhibits
and took eight awards. Manitoba had four
exhibits, and received three awards. The
total number of exhibits of cheese from
Canada was 539, which secured altogether
490 awards. Nine ofthe exhibits from
Canada secured 99 1.2 points out of a pos-
sible hundred for perfeetion. Five of these
lots .were from Ontarioand four from
Quebec.

The mammoth cheese of 22,000 pounds
was tested -by the judges, and the following
is the commendation they make We,
the undersigned judges of cheese at the
World's=ColumbianExposition, in October,
1893, certify that we this day examined the
Mammoth cheese from Canada,,in the Agri-

trier to the depth of 33 inches. We report
that the cheese is sound from the rind to
the .centre, that it , draws perfectly solid,
and cuts close in the texture. It has a good,
clean flavour which is quite tasty. In" dnr
opinion it has kept its=.flavour "remarkably
well. We found the colour uniform and

mist creditable. We attach a score card,,
which shows 95 points out of a, possible
score of 100 -points, and recommend .that a

is not yet over. Crowds press -round
him whenever he leaves his humble abode,
and are happy if they can only touch the
hem of his, modest garb. Father John's
life is one of uninterrupted and self-sacrific-
ing charity and Christian ministration
among the poor, the sick, and needy, not,
however, refusing his presence and prayers
to the well-to-do and rich, who send for hint
when all other help fails, and never in vain,
from all parts of the country. He has no
vast business organization of eharity_and
no corybantic Christianity like "General"
Booth, and no religious politics like Arch.
bishop Nicanor of Odessa. Although enor-
mous sams of money have passed through
his hands to the Russian poor in all di:rec'
tions, he is still a poor man, living.: in the --
humblest possible way. Steamboats- and
trains in. which he journeys to and fro one
his truly Christian work are besieged with -
such
crowds that the police have to protect
him from their pressare. •"""r `r
The report of his appearance in Ouse
in St. Petersburg—and the news) spreads
like wildfire—brings throngs of poet people
running madly from the surrounding streets -
to get within the range of his healing pres-
ence, to receive his blessing, or to implore
his attendance at the sick bed of relatives
or friends. -
He advocates no impracticable Christian
theories ; his life is. one entirely of good
works, and his influence for good among
the Russian masses, who have notch-
ed the state of cynical unbelief of the lower
orders in other countries, is greater, per-
haps, than any other Russian under the
Czar.
The festival in his honour at Cronstadt,
an.island mast difficult and ithconvenient
of access in winter, was attended by great
crowds of people, rich and poor, who made
their way seeress the ice of the g'tlf to the
isolated port, from St. Petersburg and other
places. Thirty priests officiated at the
church service on the occasion,. and deputa-
tions from various benevolent and other
societies, including even the beggars, pre-
sented the reverend father with gifts of
silver -bound Bibles and holy pictures. The
most touching sight of all was the gift of a
small bunch of flowers by a poor sickly
woman with a child in her arms. An eyewit
ness states that the crowd and Father John
were moved to tears. At a banquet in the
evening, at which the Governor and Admir-
al of the port -presided, paupers, mendi-
cants, .anti moujicks sat cheek by jowl �. ith
ladies, officials, and naval officers, to drink
to the health and long life of Father John.

The Corpse Had its Ears Open:
An amusing incident is reported by our
Vienna correspondent to have taken plane
this week' at Miskolez, in Hungary. A
young girl pretended to seethe Holy Virgin
daily and to have conversations with her.
Y
Her mother encouraged the pious who
brought presents to'her, and when the _
priests interfered the'excited crowd threat-
ened to ill treat them.: Some days ago the
would-be saint lay in a coffin in a shroud,
and her mother told everybody that the
Virgin had told her to die,, and would re-
suscitate her on the third day.
There- was terrible excitement in the
place'. and thousands seemed prepared to
wait the .Prescribed three days in prayer
and fasting.' The local authorities came
with a doctor to put a stop to the=scandal-
ous affair, and -in the presence of the pions
crowd' the doctor said "It is very serions
that she died so -suddenly. We must have
post-mortem examination." Immediately
the young saint sat up in the covin, crying,
"Oh don?tent me up; I can beresuscitated
immediately." She was taken to a prison
as.to her sanity.
