 trous visltations the people of the island have originated a unique method of cover ing their homes with roofs made of corru- gated bands of iron to take the place of the picturesque red tiles used many years ago. In fact, among those who cannot af- ford the iron roofs the tiled coverings are still employed.
 Although there are excellent schools on the Island of Martinique, many of the children of well-to-do parents are sent to France to be educated, most of them go- ing directly to Paris. The constant travel from colony to mother country occasioned by this custom is said to account for the strange appearance of the Martinican streets, which are a queer combination of the tropics and the Champs Elysee. The women of the poorer classes affect a strange costume consisting of a loose hanging skirt and waist. completed by an odd bit of headgear formed of a large fig ured handk erchief tied about the head They are also inordinately fond of Jewelry and it is quite frequent sight to see some of the females emerge from the churches burdened with massive earrings. brace lets and necklaces, and shod only with the shoes with which generous nature provid- ed them.
 Besides the customary government build ings there are lovely churches, public library and places devoted to the enter tainment and instruction of the people.
 Almost the same habits prevail in l'ort de France that characterize St. Pierre.

reached the conclusion that such manifes- tations cannot be attributed to the spirits of dead people.
 explain them by our power to throw a part of our spirit outside of ourselves. This exteriorized spirit undoubtedly is capable of moving material bodies, emitting sounds and otherwise affecting matter.
 see additional proof that the phenomena so far ascrlbed to the dead really emanate from psychic force projected by the living In fact, the socalled revelations always are confined to things known, suspected or de- sired by somebody present. Likewise when music is heard, 1t is always a strain pre- viously stored in the brain cells of some person present at the experiment. It is clearly the floating eXteriGrized spirit of that person repeating impressions.
 For example. when the name of Calico was pronounced by me evidently my exter- iorized spirit was rehecting expectation, and when scientific problems were solved, I now realize, it was only according to my own vague, latent inductions.
 1t is impossible to develop new theories in the limits of cable despatch, but l am writin~ book giving conclusive proofs that the spirits of the dead never mingle with the living in this world, and that spir- itualism is a delusion when not mere jugglery.

In spite of this fact however, Martinique is one of the most thickly populated islands in the world. It has an erea of over 1S0 square miles, and its greatest breadth is variously recorded at thirty-five and forty miles. The last census showed that the population consisted of nearly five hundred souls to the square mile in proportion to the inhabited area of the island.
 St. Pierre is a beautiful city, and the thrift and industry of it's citizens are exemplifed In the cleanliness of its streets as well as by the number of stores and places of business which line them. The principal avenue is the Rue Victor Hugo, named in honor of the great author and poet, whose memory is most sacredly cherished by the people of Martinique.
 The streets, owing to the hilly surface of the island, are very slanting, and on either side there are gutters which act as public scavengers. Into these gutters all the bits of paper and refuse are thrown, and the streams from the mountains rush them down to the seashore and into the ocean. The gutters are kept clear by la borers who act in the same capacity do the street cleaners of our American cities
 Owing to the volcanic construction and geographical situation of Martinique, it is subject to violent hurricanes which visit the coast at sometimes frequent intervals between the months of June and Dece nnber

and the most important feature of the city to sight-seers, and the one most cherished by the inhabitants, is lovely statue of Empress Josephine which stands in the most prominent section of the city.
 The climate of Martinique Is warm and healthful and less sickness prevails here than in Dominica and Santa Lucia, which are only a score or so of miles distant The palms of Martinique Island are the most beautiful in the world and a great many of the cocoanuts which are imported into this country are brought from there. The larg est quantities of sugar and other products are however, shipped to France.
 The recent riots which occurred in Mar unique were said, on the best of authority, to be due to hostility of manufacturers, planters and laborers generally, against the governor, who, 1t was claimed, re- duced the rate of exchange from twenty to twenty-five per cent. The reduction, while it would have proved beneficial. U the island as a whole, would have been detrimental to the interests of the employ CTS who have relations with France, and against the military officers who receive their salaries from France.
 The allegations that the disturbances were prompted by Americans who are de- sirous of obtaining possession of the Island of Martinique are declared by officials of the department at Washington as in famous, but should such condition of affairs ever come about America could not find a more magnificent colony to add to

world; Denmark may glory in the sugar refneries and distiNeries which yeild her millions annually in revenue; and even our own America may look with pardon able pride upon the riches of Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines but France loves Martinique not less for its pecuniary ad- vantages, but more for the historic inter- ests that cluster around the little island, for 1t is here that the beautiful and im- mortalzed Empress Josephine was born. Being the northernmost of the windward group of the Caribbees, Martinique may be described as verdant mountain mass lying between the Atlantic ocean and the Caribbean sea, for the island is verit- able ehainwork of small mountain ranges covered with vines and shrubbery whose beauty is unsurpassed in any quarter of the globe.
 1t was discovered in 1l93 by the Spanish explorers who embarked with Columbus the previous year to discover the western hemisphere.
 For long time after it's discovery the island was held by its primitive inhabi- tants the Indians, but after many fierce struggles the Spanish succeeded in driving the natives into the interior, taking sub Sequent possession.

 SPIRIT DELUSION
By Camille Flammarlon.

have not repudiated spiritualism lightly
 A serious man, naturally, always dis likes to admit that he has been mistaken all his life. As is well known, have been one of the stoutest apostles of spiritual ism.
 I always believed I was having regular intercourse with the ether world Calico spirit never failed to come to me when summoned. His revelations about the ap- pearance and manners of the inhabitants of other planets were incorporated in my writings always with the utmost confidence till modern instruments discovered five satellites of Jupiter and nine of Saturn, whereas what I believed was the spirit of Calico always affirmed to me that Jupiter had four moons and Saturn eight.
 At first felt sure the astronomers must be mistaken, but now have seen with my own eyes.
 Therefore, as it is inadmissfble that real spirits could err or jest, evidently my in- tercourse with Calico was long delus- ion. I acknowledge it frankly and without shame, because I have acted in good faith in this matter and refuse to lend Support to error.
 You must understand, however that I do not renounce all belief in spiritual manifestations. the existence of which has been proved beyond doubt. I have simply

M liking the Cow

From the Deadwood (S. D.) Pioneer-Times
 T went out to milk that COW of mine last night" said the old-timer, carefully nurs- ing his arm, "and here before you are the remains I'll forget myself and assassinate that COW brute some day. As I said, I went out to milk her, and she behaved all right, with the exception of wrapping her tail around my neck and then unwrappng it. This didn't last, however, and she in- serted her hind foot in the pail and looked around to see if I liked it. In a sudden spell of madness I yanked up a neckyoke and histed 1t at her and missed her and knocked over a row of chickens. Then I got excited and landed on her face with my right and unjointed every joint in my body She, the cow, then became agitated and stood upon her hind legs and run me in the haymow. I remained up there occa- sionally telling her she might go some place if the sulphur agreed with her health until my wife came and chased her off. Tonight shall hog-tie her, blindfold her. and with the assistance of a club milk her, gosh durn her, to a finish'

different conclusion. I believe the Ameri- can home, in spite of failure here and there, and many failures, too, is the hap piest home the world has ever seen and a Happier home than the home of the old world.
 There Is no other land where woman as woman is so much respected as in America There is no country where the parent has so much hope and ambition for the child as in America.
 There is the greatest difference between the cities of the Old World and of the New in this respect. There may be as much poverty and squaor in New York as in London, but it Is of distinctly diff ferent type.
 In London the poor family has gone from the country to the city on the downward track. In New York, or in Boston, for that matter. the poor family is generally an emigrant one from the old country for the purpose of bettering its condition.
 1t would not be easy to find in New York or Boston a father or mother who did not expect something better for their children. It is for this reason they are willing to remain ignorant If only their children may go to school. and they may remain ire ligious if need be if only their children may go to Sunday school. It is this Influence that is going to further lift those chil- dren.

THE AMERICAN
 HAPPY HOME
By Rev. Lyman Abbott.

There is so much in the public press and in the public discussion of warning and admonition and of comment on the danger ous tendencies of the times that it seems to me wise to look on the other side and see what are the encouraging tendencies in our democracy
 do not believe in the motto Look on the bright side of things" The brave man does not look only on the bright side, but he faces the dark side as well. Yet he does not look always at the dark side. That there are dangerous tendencies is not to be denied less than that there are potential tendencies for good
 First of all these tendencies for good I place the home Recently l read a state ment of Prof. Sumner of Yale that 90 per cent. of the American families are un- happy. My experience has led me to d

Muskrat PaIatable

Muskrat meat, Pennsylvanians along the Schuylkill valley say, is more delicate and sweet than rabbit. Care has to be taken, however, not to break the bag of musk-a pouch the size of the walnut, filled with a highly perfumed white paste and located in the intestines-for to break this bag Is to saturate the flesh with husky odor. and 1t is then irscdible, as though 1t had been boiled in cologne. The muskrat is said to be even cleaner in its eating than the ser pent. It washes all its food. Green corn, tender young grass, salads apples, wheat, nuts and sweet potatoes are the things it lives on.
