The Navigator Islands.

"
Formere beauty of scenery the Navi-
gator Islands are probably equal, if not
superior, to any in~the Pacific. The
scenery of the Sandwich Islands, although
grand, is somewhat cherries; the Friend
" Islands are superlatively fertile, buttoo
tame and low-lying to be thoroughly pict-
uresque; Feejees are in many places ster-
lie and forbidding, while Oeylon, perhaps
the most fertile island in the world, is so
only In the interior. Alone ofall. the ocean
groups, the Navigators do not disappoint.
Seen from the deck of vessel, a few
tropical islands that present more beau
tlful or picturesque appearance than
Though not so high as Savali by 1000
feet, itnevertheless shows bold and ma
jestic front. Perhaps, indeed, the weather
beaten rocks that form the mountain sum-
mits are, if anything, toostern and gloomy
for purely tropical landscape. They
are, however, not often visible, but are
generally shrouded by fleecy masses of
vapor, or wrapped in mist and storm
clouds. - A
Immediately below this stony region
vegetation commences. At first the, trees
are small and stunted, and the under
growth thin. But every foot of descent
the vegetation changes rapidly in charac-
ter, until within an incredibly short space
of time the forest becomes thoroughly and
completely tropic. Trees of hundred
different species now struggle with each
other for sunlight and air. The soil is
a rich loan, composed of decaying veg
etable forms. Overhead the trees meet,
forming a leafy canopy through which
the vertical rays of the sun strive in vain
to pierce. - - I'll
Beneath this the traveller walks in dim,
uncertain twilight. Around him all is
hot, moist and decaying. The air is sickly
and oppressive, the grass rank and mat
ted, while from trunk and bough hang
long, snake-like creepers and supple vines
that trail along the ground, and at every
step trip up the unwary. On the trunks
and branches of the trees are clusters of
rare ferns and orchids that would be the
glory Of an American dollhouse. They
grow luXuriantly gon the moss lowered
bark and dead wood, andrea little of
sunlight or fresh breezes. .'"
Among these forest-trees are many on
which the natives depend for life. There
is the ivif(whose Ebitter nuts are eaten in
times of Scarcity, the orange the luin
and the bread fruit. Then there is the
stately cotton tree, the, asomberi dilo and
the cocoanut-palm, with its leaty crown,

The ground in many places is covered
with flowers as with carpet, while in
others it is grown over with dense and
impenetrable mass of shrubs and flower

Something Better Than Short Cake
Make nice, light, white gems by mixing
flour and milk nearly as soft as for griddle
cakes and bake quickly in hot gem pans.
Break, not cut, them open and lay in a
deep platter and pour over strawberries,
raspberries, blackberries Tor even nice
stewed apples) mixed with sugar and a
little rich cream if you have it. Ten
times better than any pastry or short cake,
and you get rid of soda or baking powder
and shortening. -RW'0l New Yorker.

A Romance of Chicago

E u y = $50 81
Yesterday evening apale, thin woman,
meanly clad, was seen shivering on the
doorstep of fashionable mansion on Ash
land avenue. Her whole appearance be-
tokened poverty and, misery. The mas
ter of the house, a Comparatively young
man, clad ina costly fur overcoat, ran up
the steps at the same moment and gave
the poor creature q quarter, which she
received with profuse manifestations of
gratitude. 1t seems romantic, but it is a
fact that eleven years ago that Young
woman lived in that~same mansion, the
beautiful, accomplished and idolized
daughter of wealthy parents. Two
suitors sought her hand-one was a fash
ionable young man, the other the plumb
er's apprentice, who, while visiting her
fathers lordly mansion to thaw out the
water-pipes, saw and loved the beautiful
apparition. He preferred his suit in a
blunt, manly style, told her that his time
would soon be out, and showed her how
the bills were made out to meet her OBJ
lection as to his lack of fortune. The
naughty and infatuated girl rejected his
suit and married the handsome young
man, with whom she set up housek eepfng
