"‘The Needs and Defects of Sabbath School Arrangements â€" and Teachâ€" ing" was the subject of an aggressive paper by Principal Merchant of the London Normal School, recently read at a meeting of the Presbyterian Counâ€" cil, in the courss of which he dea.t some severe bloxs at the apathy that is prevalent in regard to the training of the young in Scriptural knowledge. Principal Merchant believes that the charch dres not bestow oneâ€"tenth of the time, nmoney and attention that the training of the young in Scripture knowledge deserves. â€" There needs to be betier spccial buildings, a better allâ€"round equipment, better trained teachers, and a vast addition to the proper finaucial support of the Sabbath schools, and he pointed out that even: in â€" conpection _ with Presbyterian cuurches in London probably ten times as much imoney is spent on choir expenditures as compared with the «ums devoted to Sabbath school work . Nearly all the monies and conveniences in connection with a modern cburch were expended on adults, whereas the ten fold attention of the church should ‘be directed to the young. Mtr. Merchant believed tha* the chief energies of the minister and bis assistants should be devoted to th < Scriptural pature of those who in a few years will be the men and women. . In referring to the establishment of a sugar refinery in Waterloo County the Elmira Advertiser . contains the following paragraph which is flavored with good common sense:â€"We should like to see the factory erected in Elmira.

When the C. P. R. upened their line between the two leadingâ€"Canadian cities, things hustled a little and both roads managed to do the trip in about ten hoursâ€"a very decent éait, all things considered, being 33 miles an hour, including stoppages. _ _ _ _ â€" i But the G. T. R. has been making great strides of late on its through or main trunk lineâ€"a fact that may surâ€" prise people who are sideâ€"tracked on‘ the Toronto to Sarnia line, or on the old Wellington, Grey and Bruce diviâ€" sion. Thay have double tracked almost the whole road between Toronto and. Montreal, have improved grades, straightened curves, laid beavier rails and improved rolling stock to such an extent that the International Limited train running between Montreal and Windsor makes the distance of 558 miles in 13 hours, a speed of 43 miles an hour. To do this involves actual trunning speed of a mile a minute and even faster on the more favorable porâ€" tions of the journey. The train that does this is a very fine one, consisting of firet class coaches of the most imâ€" proved type, Pullman‘s and parlor cars and a dining car on which meals are served restaurant atyle, that is,you order from the card and pay for what you get. Prices lcok pretty high, but with ‘careful ehoosing, a comfortable and satisfactory meal can be had for 50 cts, or one may quadruple the figure if he has money to burn. We took this train from Toronto at 11.30 a. m. and arrived in Montreal at 7 p.m. On alighting from the train we were agreeably surprised by finding our former neighbor, Mr. Ernest Schmidt, now a prosperous broker, well known on ‘Change, awaiting us with horee and carriage and a hearty proffer of hospitality. We wore very glad to see that our young friend has gained an excellent position amongst the young business men of the Canâ€" adian metropotis. â€" Nest momning the Canadian Press Excursion party,about 100 strong,lined up under the able chaperonage of Mr. A. W. L w , Secrotary; were duly allotted to their respective berths in the sp) cm.hitrain of the Ihtercolonial Railway which was to be our home for over two weeks to come. And a very fine homs it was. The train was comâ€" vosced «f four Pullinans of the very latest mode!, one dining car, one. kitchen car and a baggage car. Each two porsons had a "section" for themâ€" selyves. and access to the baggage car atall iimes. Nothing in the way of comfort on wheels could be devised to surpass this materially, and certainly never were guests ~more courteously treated than we were, by every official from the highest to the lowest. And as for the menu, well, even the ladies, and some of them think they can cook, joined without a single exception in praise of the triumphs of our cook and the perfection of the service. If any of the readers of The Chronicleâ€"Teleâ€" graph travel to the Maritime Provinces, we have no hesitation in suying, take the Intercolonial and sample the menu of the dining car. You will be pleased and satisfied. I fear an itinerary of our journey would be tame, wearisome and uninterâ€" esving, as well as longthy. I will thereâ€" fore select a few incidents and observaâ€" tionssomewhat at random. _ Our first night on the train turned out wet, dark and stormy, a circumstance which aftected us but little, though it probâ€" ably contributed to the happening of a sad accident to the Maritime Express which was running 30 minutes aboad of our special. Ata little way station near the boundary between Quebec and New Brunswick a heavy freight was slow in getting out of the way of the Express. Signals were set to stop the Express, but the driver, one of the old est and best in the service, failed to notice them, and came on at 50 miles an hour. _ He saw tho danger in time to eet his brakes and reverso his engine, and then pitched into the freight care, striking the first ones on the side. The great engine of the Exâ€" press bounded from the track, buried oneâ€"third of its bolk in the gravel and sand on the side of the embankment and crushed the life out of the brave engineer in an instant. _ The fireman was so badly injured that he died next day.. The bagzage and mail cletks were not injured at all, though their car was sentfiying off its tracks and lay on its side near the fence. Nobody was hurt in the passenger cars, and some of the sleepers in the sleopors slept on unaware that avything unâ€" usual bad happered. _ _ We were delayed about nine hours. We had a deliâ€"btful ron in daylight through the beautifal Metapedia Valâ€" ley, but ons cannot have all the good things. We were to have reached Monston in time to ebjoy â€"a carriage drive which tho hoapitable citizens of that town had prepared for us, and we were to have seen the famons "boa: that is what they call the 1?. comes in at Moneton. The came on time that morning, but we did not THE MARITIME PROVINCES, They gave us a booklet descriptive of the town with photogravures of the "bore." From these we learned ths Moncton is sitzated on a river empties its waters by permission of the sun ap.d moon into a narrow, curved, fannclâ€"like bay opening into the Bay of Fundy, which every school boy will remember <is famous for baving the highest tides in the world. Tides have been known to rise 60 & at certain places on this Bay, W the tide comes up the river at Monetop, the waters being forced into a barro# chanue!, pile up like a wall to a height varying from five to eight feet and rush forward with a roar like thunder. Both sight and sound must be very inrpressive but we missed them that time. Moncton is the headquarters of the Intercolonial Railway and is a busy and prosperous tow ». Sorry we could not see more Of it. But the good steamer Northumberland had been waiting twoâ€"houts at Point du Chene, 16 miles away, to take us across the Straits to Prince Edward Island, and so our stay at Moncton was as brief as a lady‘s social call when the <other lady is "‘not at home." We reached the Island that night after a delightful sail of about 40 miles. over a sea so calm that even the most equeamish otf our ladies forgot to get sea sick. Summerside, our port, is a rather pretty little town, devoted apâ€" parently to fisbing, catering to the wants of the neighboring farmers and entertaining tourists. The Island is a delightful place in sammer. The people we met kept aseuring us in a depreâ€" catory sort of fashion that reaily we had struck an unusually hot spell, thaé it hardly ever was so hot as this,not more than once or twice in vhe summer at the orst. The temperature was about 75 %grees in the middle of the day and o werenot inclined to complain. Next day we rode per intercolonial narrow gauge line, tha crookedest road in the world,except in some mountain regions, through about balf the length of the Island to the capital, Charlottetown. The landscape reminded me very much of some of Ontario‘s choicest farming country. The same long, gentle sloping hills one finds in South Huron or Oxford, clothed in rich greon, or in parts in golden grain richly colâ€" ored in harvest hues, were to be seen on every hand. Thers is no mountain in the Island. There is no plain either so far as I saw, only gently undulating, rich, arable land. â€" But the tolor of the soil was curious. Everywhere it is a doep red, just about the exact hus of a deep red brick. Whether you see rock, sand, gravel or clay, without exception it is the same uniform red. I suppose a child raised on the Island would be greatly surprised to be told that clay in other countrics is not always a deep red color _ We spent Sunday in Charlottetown. Most of our party soaght out the churches of their choice and reported interesting services and good sermons. The Scott Act is in force in the lsland generally, I believe, but is said to be loosely enforced in Chatloitetown and Summerside. I am not in a position to speak dogâ€" matically as to the results, but so far as I could gather from what I saw and heard the conclasion suggested was this: That liquor could be had in any of the towns by any one who particuâ€" larly wished to get it. That the qualâ€" ity was dubious and it always bad to be sought for, often with the aid of a guide. That a great deal of the temptaâ€" tion to acquire the drinking habit which exists under license, was unâ€" ktown there, and that, while drunkenâ€" ness was not absolutely done away with, it was very greatly diminished and certainly did not obtrude itself on public notice. I havé already indicated that the fame of the Island as avu agricultural district, they call it the "Garden of the Galt", is well deserved, The average standard of comfort amongst the people seems hbigb, though evidence of great wealth in a fow hands is not apparent. Fertile fields and little or no waste land constitute the Island itsolf and. the surrounding seas teem with the wealth of ocean, in the form of fish of many kinds and ehellâ€"fish such as lobsters and oysters as well. Many of the people are both farmers and fiâ€"herâ€" men, and as American tourists are gettâ€" ing plentiful, a great many people add to their incomes by taking in the "sumâ€" mer boardet"from the heated regions of the Great Republic. To those who can afford the trip I cannot imagine anything more pleasant and restful than a quiet sojourn of a few weeks in July and August in some quist botel or farm houee in the Is! ad, where the cool, delightfal, saline breezes from old Ocean would bring health and vigor back to tho weary brain worker. The cenosus retarns are a great disâ€" appointrent to the islanders. Ten years of prosperity they hbave had. They know it, they all admit it. Yet the population bas not increased. Most of the natural increase bas drifted away to Boston and other American ports. The larger centres have a wonâ€" derful magnetism for young men. Those who remain are well off and they know it, better off on the general averâ€" age than the people of the Republic, i“ there are no great careers open, no rilliant prizes in sight, nothing but humdrum comfort. Aund that does not satisfy the hot blood of youth. So the exodus goes on. . â€" . k f From the happy, hospitable Island the steamer Prineess took us to Pictou. Here we saw a coal mine, or rather wa gaw the part above ground, and that is not very much. ‘The pit Serq is not a perpendicular abaft like an enlarged wall with a great windlass hauling up buckets of black diamonds, as some may bave imagined.

Meter, of Easton, Pa., which will be read with a good deal of interest by those who speak the Ponnsylvania German in this county and those who are acquainted with the peculiarities of this comparatively modern language. The recent order of the Lehigh Valâ€" ley Railway, requiring the crews of shifting ehgines to use only the English language while on duty, meets with universal approbation bere. . The ofder eays "under no cireamstances shall Pennsylvania German be spoken;" and it is said to have been issued for the reason that recently a serious collison nearly resulted because a conductor gave directions to his crew in this language, and a brakeman who did not understand it perfectly shifted cars to the wrong track. _ As the rules are printed in Eoglish, the railroad oflicials are plaialy in the right in insisting that this lang«age shall be exclusively used by its employees whiles on duty. What kind of a lapnguage is this Pecusylvania German tongue, which requires such an unzsual order to be iâ€"s ied to railroad crewe? Itis a strauge combination of English and the Gerâ€" mao dialect spoken in northern Bavâ€" atla Here is asiauza describing a iocom v‘ive, taken fro n a poem, enti‘led @Fawri io dor Traio," which is said to be suoy to ths tune of "Michael Schneider‘s Party" at picnics in eastern Pennsyivauia: Nou fawrt mer mit dor inshcinkawrs, Des is ein eisner goul, Der schnouft un hechst wic oner fe, Duch sicht mer gat kein moul. Der ward net meed, un won er shpringt En buncsert dousend meil; Do hat er shur der forzug welt Fur oll de onra geil. Here is a description of the effect upon the passengers of an accident to the train, with a statement of its cause: Nou gebt‘s en weshtr aksident, Es is olles gous ferkart, De weibsieit wara omechtlich, Dio monsleit sin ferstart, Der"inshoineer blost marderlich, Der inshein gat druf los, â€" Nun shpringt sie weder‘n olta kooâ€" Wos gebt‘r dos en shtos! A quarter of a century ago it was said that this language was dying out and would soon be no more. Such: prophecies, however, have proved to be false, for it is now spoken more widely than ever before. _ Two milâ€" lions of people in Pennaylvania, and probably a million more who have emiâ€" grated from Pennsylvania to the middle West, use it in daily conversation. Even in citieslike Alleatown and Readâ€" ing no merchant can be successfoal in business unless his employees are proâ€" ficient in its use. On the trolley lines and in the railroad yards employees may be board eimploying it constantly. in social conversation. These men speak English well but it is easier for them to chat in this strange dialect, which is governed by no rales of gramâ€" mar. Itseems that they are using it even when on duty, but the safety of the public demands that this practice shall be stopped, and the employees themselves will doubtless all agred that ‘the Lehigh Valley Railroad has done a good thing in issuing the order.
