Queer Customs Ob serted In the Island
 from Time lmmemorlaL
 It must be noticed, however, that their Sabbath begins at six D. m. on Saturday. when the church. bell is tolled, and ends on Sunday at the same hour. Formerly no vessel could leave port be- tween these hours. Marriage cancels every other engagement, so that there can be no breach of promise brought against a man when once he is married.
 The inhabitants have a strange GUS tom on New Year's Eve. They then perambulate tho streets with broken pots and pans, which they place before their friends doors, and the man who has the largest heap before his cottage is considered the most popular.
 The people rarely lock their doors, but when they do they leave the key whore it can be reached by any one seeking admission.
 Tho fisher-girls bait the hooks and carry them in a large wooden basket filled with sand to the fishermen on the beach. This is by no means a light burden; yet they may be seen cheerful ly chatting with their companions as they march onward with wooden shawls over their heads. The streets bear En- glish names, as Leopold, Berlin, Church, Augusta, Thames, Short, O Brien, Prince of Wales, Princess street. etc. but tho natives have their own names for them.
 Heligoland has a small prison or lock- up, but they rarely lock any one up, as they do not care to board the prisoner. There is also a small cottage hospital ready for use if necessary, but patients are few and far between. There is also a poor-house. Here poor people live rent free. The plan adopted Is for parents and children to go before the magistrate, whom the former resign any little property they may possess to their children, who in their turn promise to find them in food. When the husband dies the wife takes his property. and at her decease it is equally divided be. tween the children.
 There are no horses or donkeys on Heligoland, for they would be useless there; but there are eight COWS and about thirty sheep tethered and milked the milk being considered superior to that of cows. There are three police men, the junior being known by the ex- tra amount of gold lace worn by him. The coast-guard consists of five Eng lishmen, who are not permitted to act as constables. There are also sixteen active native coastguards, and sixteen in the reserve. When there is a wreck the whole island claims the salvage Most of the inhabitants are behind with their rates, but they are never prose- cuted, for when settling takes place after the season is over what remains is left in hopes of being recovered next year. The doctors are engaged to work on wrecks, and then old scores are wiped of and the balance handed over to them. The natives only are per mitted to rent small potato patches, which are much valued, but the gov. ernment reserve most of the land for their own purposes.-London Times.

THE admirers of the late John Boyle O'Reilly will be glad to learn that the editorship of the Boston Pilot, which his death left vacant, will go to James lief freys Roche, who was for years Mir O'Reilly's associate in the management of that paper. In Boston it has long been conceded that next to John Boyle O'Reilly there was no more popular or gifted Irish poet or litterateur at the Hub than Mir Roche, who has won more than a local reputation by the work of his pen. In addition to his literary talent, Mir Roche is an orator and as true a friend of Ireland as was the pa. triot whose place he is to fill.

SOME years ago, says the New York Journalist, there was a brand of soap known all over the land by its liberal and original advertisements. The soap maker thought that his trade was so firmly established that he could afford to stop advertising. Two years showed his mistake. His business stopped grow ing and then fell otr After he had re- duced his sale two-thirds he concluded that he had tried the experiment long enough and began to advertise again. It will cost him good deal of money to get back the trade he lost, but he pur- chased his experience. Advertising al- ways pays. but it must be persistent, not spasmodic. The public has a short mem ory and constant reminders on the part of advertisers are necessary.
