development of such natural resources as the islands possess, and the general health and dis- dise pline of the community were satisfactory. The Government of Indis, with a laudable but misguided desire for a reform, decided in 1890 to reintroduce the Indian goodsystem as far as possible. Orders were given to build huge cellular and associated gaols. This dis cipline was to be more strict and repressive, the old idea of making the settlement a re- formatory rather than a prison appeared to be abandoned, and all progress was stopped.” Among other changes the deportation of term convict to the Andamans was forbidden. General Stewart had held the opinion that a settlement composed entirely of life convicts could not be safely worked with the small guards supplied, and the Government of his day acceded to his request for term convicts. Lord Curzon had only been in office a few months when this question was resubmitted to him by the su perintendent of Port Blair, who found the same difficulty which had been experienced by General Stewart. General Stewart's arguments were again considered. The Viceroy can- celled the orders passed by the Govern

be deceived. That there are cheats and frauds in plenty everybody knows; but it is seldom or never that any large business house is guilty of them, no matter what line of trade it follows, There can be no permanent success of any Lind based on dishonesty or deception. There never was, and never will be. The men who try that are simply fools and soon come to grief- they deserve. Now many persons are, nevertheless, afraid to buy ce.:ain advertised articles lest they bo humbugged and deluded; especially are they slow to place confidence in published statements of the merits of medicines. The remedy known as WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION is as safe and genuine an article to purchase as flour, silk or cotton goods from the mills of manufacturers with a world-wide reputation, We could not afford to exaggerate its qualities or misrepresent it in the least; and it is not necessary, It is palatable as honey and con- tains the nutritive and curative properties of Pure Cod Liver Oil, extracted by us from fresh cod livers, combined with the Compoundment of his predecessors, and has permitted ferm convicts to be transported.

Science can furnish nothing better -perhaps nothing so good. Dr. W. H. Dalle of Canada, says: "I have used it in my practice and take pleasure in recommending it as a

STORY OF THE SETTLEMENTS.

BY MAURICE V. PORTMAN,

Lord Curzon's contemplated visit to the Andaman islands will be the first which a Viceroy has paid to that region since the au sassination of the Earl of Mayo by a convict on the 8th of February, 1872. This narrow strip of Islands, extending southwards from the Cape Negrain, contains some of the most beautiful scenery in the East. The last view on which

islands formed part of the mainland of Burma, this people is now rapidly becoming extinct, the inevitable result of its contact with a
