the best fishing is at sea.
With a population of over $4,000. which is
kept down by steady emigration, and an
area of 227 square mies-the island being
80 miles long by u wide-ManXland has no
difficulty in supporting its present popnla-

and holiday purposes * is the Long Island
OF the British Kingdom. During one-haif

every part of Great Britain aad Ireland.
Lines OF steamers are established between
the island ana Liverpool, Barro w-in-Fur-
ness, Fleetwood, Silloth on the Solway,
Glasgow and Greennek on the Clyde, Bel

pool some OF these steamers are marVelS of

nature has not endowed him with brains of

The House of Keys, the popular chamber
OF The island, is said to be one of the most
ancient legislative bodies with eontinuons
history in the world. The government OF
tne island is vested in a Governor, who is
appointed by the Crown; a Council, which
acts as an Upper Chamber of the Legsla-
ture. and the House of Keys. These legis-
8tive components constitute the Court of
Iynwa!d. The approval of the sovereign is
necessary to all legislative acts, but all acts
after approval by the sovereign must be
proclaimed in the English and Manx lam
guages from the Fill of Tynwald, between
Douglas and Peel. The island is divided
Tor civil jurisdiction into two districts. and
each of these into three sheading or coua-
