Right in the midst of an elbowing
and .ostl ng crowd walks the italian
image vendcr. On his head is tray,
crowded full of his fragile wares. How
little it would take to destroy the equi-
poise and send them, crashing, to the
pavement! But he pursues his way
with perfect ease, and does not seem to
fear such calamity. Neither you, nor
l, could carry them thus for a dozen
steps, even when there was no thrOng
to disturb, without an accident. A few
years ago the image vender confined
himself to figures of saints, virgins,
and kindred sub, ects, but now his wares
include almost everything in animate
nature. Some of them are really beau
tiful and artistic, and find their
way into homes of cultlre. Very
often the vender and the maker of
these images is one and the same per-
son. He molds them of plaster, but
there is no little skill and genius re-
quired to dress them down and get the
right shade of coloring. He does not
coniine his operations to the city, but
makes his regular trips through the
country, disposing of his merchandise
in towns and villages. He does not
talk when it is not necessary, but
studies your eyes, and when he sees a

An Arctic Health Resort.
Youths Companion.

Youths Companion.
The five large islands of Spitzbergen
cover 22,72 square miles; and though
the northern shore is only $50 miles from
the North Pole, the southern shore has
climate which, owing to the influence of
the Gulf Stream, the recent Swedish ex.
plorers declare superior to that of Scan
dinavia.
The explorers say that this climate, in
Summer at least, is one of the healthiest
in the world, and that colds, catarrhs and
affections of the chest are never known
there. Sailors falling into the water let
their clothes dry upon their bodies, as
they say they cannot catch cold in Spitz-
bergen.
1t is deemed probable that health re-
sorts may before very long be built on
the banks of Spitzbergen creeks and in
lets for the benefit of invalds from Eng
land aud the Continent. Fancy going to
the Arctic Ocean to get rid of colds and
catarrhs
II people ever do seek Spitzbergen as a
Summer resort, they will find at least
one interesting circumstance; the sun
does not set for four whole months, so
that the Summer sojourner need not be
afraid of the might air" There is, how
ever, great deal of fog and cloud, with
heavy frosts, even in midsummer.
