ENGLISHMEN NOT LOvABLE.
A Briton Calls Them Aggressive, Purse
 Proud and Eypocritical.

A Briton Calls Them Aggressive, Purse
 Proud and Hypocritical.
 The editor of the Times appears to have just discovered that the French detest the English as bitterly, if not more so, than they do and other neigh boring nation, says London Truth, and in leading article on Saturday that paper astonished the world with a la bored attempt to account for the cause of this dislike to us. But the reason is very simple one.
 We English are by no means Iowa ble race. We have many admirable qualities. We are a hardy, practical, persevering people; but these are not in themselves sympathetic properties. We are aggressive, self-assertive, purse-proud and hypocritical. We are apt to sing psalms and pick pockets at one and the same time, and our neigh bors, not altogether unjustly, there fore, resent the over-r1ghteous tone that we adopt in criticising them and their concerns.
 Wherever the Englishman goes he has the fatal influence of spelling even the most simple of characters. A few British tourists will make the inhab- itants of the most inexperienced prov ince shrewd, suspicious, grasping and dishonest. This is within the common knowledge of any who have travelled in little-visited lands, and a considera- tion Of this phenomenon will enable us the better, perhaps, to understand why our neighbors, and more especially the French, so heartily detest us.
 It is also curious fact that whenev- CT there are any general elections to be held in the great republics the most popular policy is to twist the tail of the British lion. It would be instruct i've as subject for the dull season to discuss the question: Are we English really much superior to all other na- tions?" I think we are, but apparently our neighbors think otherwise; and it might be well, therefore, to discover whether we are mistaken or whether they are stupidly prejudiced.

WHERE CRUSOE LIVED.
The Rock-Bound, Sea-Girt Isle of
 Juan Fernandez
The Lonely Spot on Which That Hardy Scotch Buccaneer, Alexander sel-
 kirk. Made His Home for Four Long, Lonely Years.

Upon Juan Fernandez, or Mas-a- tierra, a rock-bound, sea-girt islet in the Pacific ocean, may the name of Robinson Crusoe's island be fairly be- slowed. For here, says London Black and White, did that hardy buccaneer. Alexander Selzirk, of Largo, in Scot land, spend more than four dreary and lonely years, thereby suggesting to Defoe his immortal narrative. It must be remembered, however, that other spots upon the earth's surface lay claim to Robinson Crusoe, too. Thus Tobago, in the West Indies, is held to be the true Crusoe's isle, and during the last Colonial and Indian exhibition held in London there was sent as an exhibit from little Tobago skull actually purporting to be that of Robinson Crusoe's historic goat! But the Scotch pirate certainly suggested his romance to Defoe, wherever that author may have chosen to lay his plot, and for this reason Juan Fernondez must be interesting to English readers, from the crowns of it's volcanic peaks to the silver surf which breaks eternally upon its shores Amidst the islands forests of tree-ferns did Selkirll live, build him ahabitation, and cultivate the soil; from its mountain caps must his weary eyes have sought a sail through the long years of lonely waiting. Our illustration, while showing a point of Juan Fernandez especially associated with Selkirl, affords at the same time at characteristic aspect of the island itself. ''Selkerlx's Lookout is ragged mountain draped in foliage, thinning
 towards the last rounded peak; and, in 1868 tablet was placed in position

She Was Down on Boys.

A little girl but four years old was ob- served to be very devout in church and to be very eager rot to miss attending the services. What do you do, when you are there, Rosie?" asked 8 lady friend, ''you cannot read and you must get very tired of such long services?" The little one shook her head gravely. ''I am never tired" she said, T have so much to say to God" ''What do you say, do tell me-" persisted the lady.
 The child climbed on her knee, and
 whispered with all her soul in her eyes: T cannot go to church too often to thank God-I was not born boy"

LIVING OCEAN LANTERNS.
How the Deep Sea Is Lighted by Its
 FinDy Inhabitants.

Finny Inhabitants.
 Away down in the dark depths of the ocean there are living lanterns that are borne about to light up the dark ness. A queer fish, called the ''mid- shipmite," carries the brightest and most striking of all these sea torches. Along it's back, under it, and at the base of it's fins there are small disks that glow with phosphoresc ent light like rows of shining buttons on the young middy's uniform. In this way it gets it's name ''midshipmite," by which young sailors in the navy are often called.
 These disks, says the New York Press, are exactly like small bull's-eye lanterns, with regular lenses and refec- tors. The lenses gather the rays and the refectors throw them out again. There is layer of phosphorescent cells between the two, and the entire effect is as perfect as if made by some skill full optician.
 The fish is so constructed that when it is frightened by some devouring sea monster it can close it's lenses and hide itself in the darkness. It can turn it's lantern off and on at will, and then it is always filled" and ready when wanted.
 Another marine animal has lumin- ous bulb that hangs from its chin and thus throws the light before it to warn it of the approach ot enemies. Still another upholds big light from the extremity of the dorsal fin. Others again have constant sup plies of luminous oil that runs down their sides from the fins, making 3 bright and constant light all around.

upon the mountains side at point judged to be sacred to many a weary month of the forlorn exile's solitude. Scratched and cut about it are to be read the names of innumerable nonen- tito v-''o '~--~ -:-~~ visited the spot Nothing is sanctifed, no tract of ground too celebrated or too sacred for Smith, Jones and Robinson. Given stump of lead pencil and they would gleefully inscribe their historical names in the Holy of Holies, together with the date, and their addresses in Peckham Rye, Brixton, or elsewhere. But while denying such as these the satisfaction of their names in print, we may copy the actual memorial. Thus it runs:
 In memory of
 Alexander Selkirk.
 Mariner.
 native of Largo, in the county of Fife, Scot land, who lived on this island in complete
 solitude for four years and four months He was landed from tho Cfpquc Ports galley
 96 tons, l6 guns, A. D., 1704,
 And was taken of in tfe Duke privateeri
 February 12, 1709
 He died lieutenant of H. M. S. "Weymouth," ;"
 A. D. 1728.
 Aged 1T years
 This tablet is erected
 Near Selllirk's Lookout by
 Commodore Powell,
 And'the officers of H. M. s. t"TopaZe," A. D., 1868 Selkirks cave is also point of inter- est, though it may be doubted whether there is much more than an imaginary connection between this cavern and the solitary sailor. The history of Juan Fernandez presents no feature of particular interest. The island was discovered in 1868 by the Spaniard whose name it bears, and between that date, until it's occupation by Spain in 1750, appears to have been little more than a sort of headquarters for the bold buccaneers who roamed all the Pacific over. Juan Fernandez passed to Chili when Spain lost her South American possessions, and from 1919 until 1885 her new owner used the islet as a penal settlement. To-day Gillian sportsmen-amateur and professional wander upon Juan Fernandez seek ing and staying seal or sea-lion when opportunity offers; but efforts in more civilized directions have also to be re- corded, for in 1877, the Chilian govern ment leased the land to Swiss, who established considerable colony upon it's fertile shores The result of the experiment, with full description of it, was published about five years ago in an interesting article in Chambers Journal. But to Englishmen the name of Alexander Selkirk will ever be coupled with Juan Fernandez; and from Selkirk it is but step to Defoe and Robinson Crusoe. The island, there fore, may reasonably claim the title we have bestowed upon it. It is inter- esting to note in passing how many a lonely sea-bound rock has been from time to time rt1izod by man as son venient for purposes of imprisonment or exile for his fellow-man. St. Helena instantly occurs to the mind in this connection; and the Bass Rock still can show ruins of mouldering prison walls. The latter, indeed, will com mand fresh interest, at any rate fol literary minds, by reason of the graph lc scenes described as happening there on ip Mr. K. l.. Stevenson's last TO nance.
