CIGAR Makers Coming.

A Chicago dispatch says that about
900 cigar. makers from various cities
will take special train for California
which leaves New York on the 26th
inst. This is the commencement of a
movement which, we trust, will contin-
ued until white men have supplanted
the Chinese now engaged in that indus
try. The 5000 cigar makers in this
city probably earn not less than 500, 900
a week. If it is earned by white men
who have families the bulk viii return
every week to the channels Of tade.
The savings will accumulate and in
time be invested here. II earned by
Chinese the bulk will be sent out of the
country.-S. F. Call.

The school entertainment.

Odd Fellows Hall was perfectly
jammed last Friday evening, the 18th,
the occasion being the entertainment
given by theSschool children at the
close of the Winter term of school. 1t
was one of the best and most interesting
of the many entertainments that have
been given by the children, and the
manner in which each one performed
his or her part shows that perfect dis
cipline had been acquired. To publish
the programme in full would take up
too much space, as it was very long
one, and it would be hardly fair to
mention one, unless all. However,
the duet by Miss Lois Fish and Master
Fred Sims, was considered the gem Of
the evening, and the duet by Miss Eta
Sims and Miss Grace Barnes, was con-
sidcred the next finest piece Of the even
ing. At the close of the performance
a collection was taken up, which
amounted to $40, Tor the Sunday school,
for which the Superintendent, Mr.. J.
l.. Campbell, wishes to tender his thanks
to the children in behalf of the school.

The Legend OF Star Island.

During the troublesome tim es before
and subsequent to the revolution the
Isles of Shoals, off the coast of New
Hampshire, were the resort and hiding
places of the freebooters who haunted
the northern coast, and these silent
rocks, if they could speak, would tell
many tale of bloody cruelty and
gloomy wrong. The pirates used to
come here to divide and hide their booty,
and melt up the silverplate they cap
tured from the colonists along the coast
For long time it was supposed that
bushels of doubloons were buried in the
gaping crcvices of the rocks, or the
little caves that have been eaten out of the
lodges by the restless tide; but the place
was thoroughly searched by several
generations of fishermen, and nothing
more valuable than rusty cullass or Il
bust blunderbus was ever found.
The grandames tell how Captain kydd
came here often 'as he sailed as he
sailed, and there are legends of othcrpi-
rates quite rs fierce and free as he. The
Star Island used to be haunted by a
beautiful specter with long white robes
and golden trcsscs reaching TO her heels,
who used to come out of some undiscov-
cTcu CdNcIn III utWu hOl

beautiful as n lily's bosom, gaze OIL
upon the sea in hopeless expectancy
OF the return of clipper that sailed
away and never came back again.
The story goes that q bloody-hearted
old pirate. being pursued by cruiser,
brought his beautiful mistress here and
| left her while he went out to battle,
telling her that by dawn he would be
| lack again, but he came not, not even
till now. She died of starvation, but
her faithful spirit still comes to the sum-
nit of the island as the sun rises each
morning, to meet the corsair, who never
| returned.
There are eight of the islands, the
smallest being rs large, or rather as
small, as a city building lot, and the
largest containing only q couple of hun
dred acres--nothing but bare, lifeless
rocks, carved by the inccssant waves
into strange grotesqueness, and covered
by NJ vegetation except low clinging
vines and the New England BURBERRY.
Four of the islands are inhabited. the
largest, the Appledorc, bears a hotel
and few cottages. Star Island has
another hotel and a small settlement
of fishermen, q third has few
fishermens huts, and the fourth has q
bold, white lighthouse springing out of
its crest. They were discovered by
Captain John Smith, the friend of Poca-
hontas, who in 1914 explored the New
England coast in an open boat, aud
spent some time here making repairs
and resting.

They go, in the April morning,
The father and son. ahcld,
And, plowing the grecnsward under,
Prepare for the harvcsts yield.
The father Is thoughtful, sobos,
The son is blithe and gay,
And thus the hours fly swiftly
On this gladstone, hopeful day.
They go again in the May-timo
And tickle the earth with hoe;
They drop the tiny kernels
or corn In the ground below.
The father tells his stories
OF the primitive olden timc,
And the son. mayhaps, Is dreaming
or odors OF roses and thyme.
Anon oorn-blades arc springinR
DOut from the carths dark mold;
Unto the air and sunshine
Their leaves they now unfold.
The slender bla1es grow stronger
Under the dew and sun.
And the hue grows clearer, deeper,
or the green stalks every ono.
There's u rustic of leaves in the cornneld,
As the August breeze goes by,
Mid the stalks are the children playing,
And they look 10 the bending sky:
They ask whence come the voices
OF tho winds I'm their mild, sweet mood,
And wonder IL it's from Heaven,
IL II Is the whisper of God.
The field becomes forest
OF stalks and tasscls, and grain,
When skies are grown more sober
And falls September rain;
Then the reapers with their sickles
Garner the ripened ears,
Symbols OF life ripe harvest
For the granary OF tho years.

The Gulf bottom is d soft, sandy soil,

are largely infested with source Of ter

The FIRST Days Of STOCKINGS.

There were no manufactured stock
ings in the days Of Lady Macbeth. A
strip Of cloth or wooden stuff was wrap
ped around the feet and up to the knees,
and held in place by strings or straps,
laced like our shoestrings. Actors OF .
generation ago always wore such leg
gingss when personating Macbeth. A
remnant OF these old improviscd stock
ings may be observed upon the feet OF
newly Cinnamon. The FIRST
manufactured stockings of the ancients
were Of coarse material and clumsy fab
r:cation. The first silk stockings known
IN England were knitted BY 4 ladyof the
court Of Queen Elizabeth for her maiestp.
who was 60 delighted with their s0ffness
and debility that she kept the donor
