An Island of Orange Groves.

Leisure Hours
Out in the Atlantic. over 1000 miles
from Lands End and about 600 miles
due west from Lisbon, lies the beautiful
island of St. Michaels, the largest of the
nine islands forming the Archipelago of
the Azores. It is beautiful in its variety
of mountain, lake and valley scenery, in
the rich verdure of its cultivated lands,
its equable, mild climate and in its won
derful thermal springs. The principal
commerce of st. Michael's is the orange
crop. The mode Of picking and pack
ing remains unaltered since early days.
The city Ponta Delgada, the capital of
the island. is set in the midst of orange
gardans, and the air in the early morn
ing or late in the evening comes laden
to you with the fragrance of the orange
blossoms.
Either in the town or suburbs you see
the gates of many groves invitingly
open, and you will be policy invited to
walk in and help yourself to flowers and
fruit. If you are a stranger the "ea-
beca, or hand man of the garden. will
bring you a bush of lovely camelias
and a branch on which hung cluster Of
ripe oranges and invite you to be seated
on a garden bench, for though it is the
month of February you can enjoy sit
ting out doors. There you can watch
the Juvenile toilers sorting the fruit and
the dried leaves of the Indian corn.
The picker can eat as many oranges as
he pleases and take away every evening
a bag or a basket full of the fruit that
has fallen from the trees, which he sells
at thirty or forty for a penny.

Bismarck's Associates Mere Clerks.
Prince Bismarck, like Frederick. has
converted his Ministers and Ambassa-
doris into mere clerks, and once he is
gone, the whole machinery of his gov
eminent ard policy will fall into utter
confusion. The Crown Prince is a mere
"dud," and Prince Herbert Bismarck is
simply the puppet of his sire. who gets
on well enough when he is dancing to
his piper; but he would come to woeful
grief if he were himself the director of
the foreign policy of the empire. The
military despotism urder which Ger
many has groaned for the last twenty
years cannot possibly last much longer,
and it would not have lasted till the
present day but for the veneration which
is universally felt for the aged Kaise.
There viii be a crash in Russia before
long, and, as in 1913, the infection will
at once spread to Germany, which has
long been ripening for revolution.

Just three flags tluttered at hall mast among
