Brcckville. where they disappear These
Islands are intimately connected with our
early history and development. Historians
claim that the islards were discovered by
our arch enemies the Spanish and wrested
from them by the French. who, in turn
were conquered by the English. On the
10th of this month the river, daring from
its discovery, viii be 3eSS years Of age. How
old IL really is the rocks could tell. The
r4yer received its name from a Spanish
feast day, Saint Laurence. which was given
II because on that day the river was dis
covered The French christened the islands
Les Mile Isles" over two centuries ago,
and the name is so apropOs that II has
never been changed. Historically speaking
these islands have played an important
part At first they were the scene OF many
bloody conflicts between the Algoaquins
and Iroquois Indian tribes. In the English
French war several important battles took
place in the immediate neighborhood and
in our revolutionary war and the war of
1872 and the civil var these islands con-
tributed a part of our history. 1t might
also be interesting to state that IL was here
in these very islands that Longfellow laid
the scenes OF his romantic Indian ballad of
Htawatha-
Even Tom Moore could not find time to
satirize the beautiful stream. and he left

affairs, and really give the visitor all there
is to see of the Thousand Islands Then
there are excursions every week to King
ston and other Canadian cities.
While the climate and scenery of the
Thousand Islands are all that can be wish
ed, 1t is to the fishing that the place owes
its great popularity. There Is no waiting
for tides, no uncertainty of bait, and, best
of all, there is a certainty of fish and a
variety that is not furnished in any other
river. Both species of black bass are plen-
tiful and pickerel weighing thirty to forty
pounds are reckoned in every days catch
Then there are the fighting muscallonge
with his mouth full of dangerous teeth
which he never hesitates to use on his cap
tor, and the wall-eyed pike, delicious
morsel. There are perch strawberry bass,
lake trout, whitefsh, catfish and rock bass.
The latter will make you violate the third
the most plentiful of the finny tribe repre-
sented. They resemble a white perch, and
while rarely over a pound in weight are
fighters. The fishing season has been bet
ter this year than for several summers
and large catches are reported every day
A gentleman from Albany yesterday caught
twenty-one black bass, fourteen pickerel
one muscallonse, and said he threw back
the former, and am willing to take his
word for the latter. since he is preacher.
The boatmen are rugged, good-hearted
set of men. Tanned by the suns of many
summers. they look as swarthy as Indians
They furnish the boat, tackle and bait, and
incidentally. the motive power for fishing

Washing Streets for Diamonds,



Perhaps the most interesting fact in con-
nection with Kimberley, the diamond city,
is the street washing" which has been a
recognized industry for some time past
With the exception Of two or three of the
principal thoroughfares, all the streets
have been subjected to the washing process,
and some of the debris washers have done
very we'll The washing" consists of over
hauling the earth for diamonds.
At nearly every meeting of the borough
coencil applications for permission to WASH
streets, or portions of streets, are received.
The would-be washer has TO obtain the con-
sent of persons resident in the street or
road, to put the latter into sound repair
again, and pay tithe to the municipality in
the shape of 10 per cent on his gross finds.
Last year 1850 was paid to the municipality
in this way, a good proportion of which
represented commission on street finds
In the early days of the diamond fields
the ground was washed in very primitive
style, many diamonds being thrown away
in the debris, as it is called This debris
was subsequently used for street-making
purposes. and now, years after. with better
machinery at their disposal, people find it
pays to wash the streets"
Many houses built on maiden debris
are removed in order to wash the latter
and stones OF comparatively large size are
frequently found by the energetic debris
washer, who literally works from morn to
night, from sunrise till sunset.

among the Islands. that its beauty IS best
appreciated Hundreds of tiny bays lead
to beds of water lilies. whose rank growth
is so great and blossoms SO profuse as to
stop the progress of a boat. 1t is at right,
perhaps, that he river appears at lis hest
The picture recalls Venice. and it IS rot
dihcult TO change the dainty skiffs into
gondoias and the sturdy boatlnen into gon-
dohers- Whatever picturesquaness is lost

exhiblted as soon as night stretches her
niack wings over the scene. The iIlurnina-

Every island then puts on its best. and the
picture, with Its kaleidoscope effect. recalls
an Arabian dream.
Alexandria BAY.
What quaint, busy little village this Is.
With floating population of several thou

irg the season. 1t is the headquarters for
the islanders, who get their supplies here.
Then 1t is the stopping place for the big
lake steamers on their way to Montreal
