WHERE TWO WOMEN LIVED.
Place Had No Attractions for Other
 Members of Sex.

Capt MeKinzie of Philadelphia has encountered in his maritime wander
 ings q place where only two women have ever lived. Lying at pier No 13, Port Richmond, Philadelphia dis charging her cargo of 15G tons of chrome ore, is the trim little Halifax schooner Satellite, commanded by Capt Mckenzie, man who has ex- perieneed many thrilling adventures while navigating the Newfoundland coast whence this vessel came with her eafgoz=The= Satellite came from a settlement =in Newfoundland known as Bluff Head, situated thirty miles east southeast from Port au Port, and a place where but two women ever were known to live. Capt. Mckenzie says that the chrome ore mines were dis covered only three years ago. They are now worked by British and AmefI- can capitalists The ore on board the Satellite is valued in it's crude state in excess of so Q ton. and is the richest grade which eyer has been brought into Philadelphia, owing to the limit ed facilities for vessels reaching the place. the largest cargo that has ever been shipped is 300 tons and at tAat time thexesse1= was seven weeks load ing. The mines from which this ore is taken are situated on the tops of cliffs rising 500 feet above the level of the sea. and Capt. Mckenzie had to work his vessel in and anchor her under these cliffs on a shoal area con taining six fathoms of water. The method of loading is primitive, the ore being conveyed down the mountain side in small wagons drawn by power full horses. From the shore 1t is brought out in boats. Capt MeKen= zies last visit to Philadelphia was twenty-three years ago. At that dime" said the old skipper yesterday. you would not see two steamers fro1n the time you entered the Delaware eapes till you passed to sea again.

It is characteristic of this ven omoas insect to seek a hiding place in anything of tubular shape which will give it the opportunity of crawling to the far end of it's castle and there awaiting the chance of giving some nnsuspecting person g glimpse of the River StyX. In this case the scorpion while proving around among the mail sacks in the Kingston postofliee, dis covered the pamphlet and immediately erawled into the opening Unfortu- nately for his scorpfonship, or fortu- uateiy for some mail clerk, the pam phlet was placed under a pile of mail matter in the sack, with the result that the insect was flattened out Mr Lloyd saW in an instant the nature of the foreign corpse. and wisely put it aside until he held an inquest.

To this end the department introduced penny-in-the-slet meters, which have been 50 well received that about one-fifth of the population is now supplied in this way When the meter is used a stove is supplied and fixed free of charge Not one penny need be invested, except for the thirty feet of gas sold for ? cents. This is 6 great boon to the poor, who find It difficult to save enough b purchase .dttings outright. Stoves alone may be returned at 10 per cent of cost price per year. and the department has it's Own stores containing styles to suit the poorest or the most fastidious. The price of gas has been steadily reduced. eptii now it is 3 shfl1fngs 5 pence CSC cents1 for lighting and shillings (4s eents1 for heating aud trade purposes. 1nded, the city has been so eonsiderate Of public welfare in every way that practically the whole population con- sumes municipal gas.
