 The Capriotes of Today.
 The inhabitants of Crapi retain many of the peculiarities of their Greek ancestors, as well as much of their beauty. The women are celebrated for their clear cut features, healthy olive complexions. their dark, laugh ing eyes, and their fine straight forms, which the carrying of burdens on the head tends to increase. Most of the men are away from the island nearly the whole of the year, at sea, either coral fishing or employed in the coast ing trade, and for this reason almost all labor is done by women. The Capriote of today is ns avaricious as his celebrated ancestor of the Grecian isles, and in making bargain with him it is necessary to stipulate everything beforehand; even then he will find some ex- cuse to increase the sum agreed upon when the time for payment comes.
 Quite a number of Englishmen of good families, among them a nobleman, have mar ried Capri girls, owing, no doubt, to their beauty and winning smiles, and have settled down to a "dolce-far- niente" existence on this little island in the tideless summer sea. It is pleasant to sec the strong, healthy looking, handsome girls toiling up the rocky paths, with burdens on their beads, but laughing and chatting with infectious vivacity, and cast ing bewitching glance at the tourist, who has come from crowded cities where civili- ration makes its iron rule felt and cramps or develops our faculties and sensations as it chooses. We cannot help feeling that, after all, we, who arc born to a highly civilized life, have not all the good things in this world, as VIC look back on the struggle for gain or honor among the educated, whose faces are marked with the lines of care and thought. and compare the picture of selfish life in the modern gain getting countries with the happy ''sans soucin existence of all those who have eaten the lotus and dwell on this Upright gem of the sea-"-Boston Journal
