frequently matter of discussion now.
And it is to be hoped that the discussion
will result in some practical reforms. -

Charming Azores.


Charming Azores.
Out in the Atlantic, over 1900 miles
from Lands End and about 600 miles
due west from Lisbon. lies the beautiful
island of St. Michael's, the largest of
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 wonderful thermal spring. The
principal commerce of st. Michael's is
the orange crop. The mode of picking
and packing remains unaltered since
early days. The city, Ponta Delgada.
the capital of the island is set in the
midst of orange gardens, and the air in
the early mornings or late in the even
ings comes laden to you with the fra
GRANGE of the orange blossoms.
Either in the town or suburbs You see
the gates of many orange gardens in
vitingly open, and yon will be, politely
invited to walk in and help yourself to
flowers and fruit. If you are stranger
the "cabecan or head man of the garden
will bring you a bunch of lovely
camellias and-a branch on which hang
clusters of ripe oranges, and invite you
to be seated on a garden bench, for
though it is the month of February you
can enjoy sitting out of doors. There
you can watch the Juvenile toilers sort
ing the fruit and dried leaves of the
Indian corn. The picker can eat as
many oranges as he pleases, and take
away every evening bag or basket
full of fruit that has fallen from the
trees, which he sells at thirty or forty
for penny. Leisure Hours.
