LIFE ON ISLAND OF ST. HELENA
inhabitants Happy and contented and
 Crime Almost Unknown.

Inhabitants Happy and contented and
 Crime Almost Unknown.
 From the New York Times: Few people ever think of St. Helena except as rock in the sea on which Napoleon lived while miserably and then more miserably died. That the greatest of anti-elimaxes was not the end of the little islands history is hard to realize, possibly because a poet or romancer would have made it the end, and C. continuation is therefore more or less unnatural and absurd. De that as It may. St. Helena has remained the abid- ing place of ordinary human beings who concern themselves very little about the colossal ghost generally SUD- posed to be the islands only inhabi- tant, and the report to the English government just made by their gov ernor shows that they have joys and sorrows exactly like those of the folks dwelling in places less tragically fa- nous. For instance, the revenues of the island last year were G9,152, a de- .idedly comfortable sum, but alas! the expenditures amounted to SIP ,349, and that is an excess of outgo not comfort able at all. The governor says, how ever, that the bad balance was due to some extraordinary drains upon the islands resources, and that he antici- pates substantial surplus for the cur rent year. A recent increase of tha garrison and extensive improvements now making by the colonial and inn perial authorities assure the imme- diate prosperity of the islanders St. Helena las no public debt, but is pay- ing off by small annual installments a noninterest-b grant of 25,000 made by parliament in 1871. The inn ports, chiefly foodstuffs and building materials, amounted last year to $ 62,- 985, and the exports, almost wholly po- tatees to sG4 1891. Lacemaking has been intraduced among the girls of the is- land with great success, and the gov- ernor Is experimenting with the manu- facture of brick and tile. The whal- CTS have now entirely deserted St. Helena, the few ships engaged in that industry keeping far to the north or south. The total population of the is- land is 4,E43. The governor hopes that winter visitors from England may be tempted by the salubrity of the cli- mate to try St. Helena, which is su- perior. he says, in some respects to that of Madeira and the Canary islands. He says he people as a whole compare favorably with the English agricul- tural population; with few exceptions all can read and write, and the lan- guage is spoken with greater purity than in many districts at home. As a rule, the people are happy and con- tented. with little crime among them and much kindness in helping each other. Strangers are greatly impressed with the general civility shown by them to old and young.

WHAT THE EAGLE SIGNIFIES.
Why 1t Was Chosen as the Emblema.i,
 Bird of America.


 From the Detroit Free Press: IF ancient mythology the eagle was be- lieved to carry the souls Of the dying to their abode on Mount Olympus and was called the bird of love. The eagle was first taken as symbol of royal power by the ancient Etruscans, who bore its image upon their standard. In the year S7 B. c. a. silver eagle, with extended wings, poised on the .sop of a spear, with a thunderbolt held in it's claws, was adopted as the mili- tary standard to be borne at the head of their legions by the Romans. At the time of Hadrian a golden eagle was substituted for the silver one. A tWo-headed eagle was adopted by the Byzantine emperors as a symbol of their control of both the east and the west. The double-headed eagle of Russia was adopted on the marriage of Ivan I. with a Grecian princess of the eastern empire; that of Austria was first used when the emperor of Germany took the title of Roman en- neror. The national standard of Rus sia bears a black eagle, that of Poland a white one. Napoleon I. took a gold en eagle for his standard, modelled of pure gold and bearing a thunderbolt, after the pattern of the eagle of the Romans. This standard was disused under the Bourbons, but was restored by decree of Louis Napoleon in 1852. The eagle was first used on American coins in 17S8, on cents and half-cents issued from the Massachusetts mint. It was adopted in the plan of nation al coinage asa design upon all gold coins and on the silver dollar, half dollar and quarter-dollar. The design Of the eagle was at one time suggested for the national flag, but was aban- toned.

THE ARCTIC MOSQUITO.
A Fierce Insect That Is Menace te
 Human life.

Nothing that has ever been written about the arctic mosquito begins to come up to the real thing" said a guest in the St. Charles corridor the other evening. T went up the Yukon river in the summer of 1896, represent ng-Rhe Alaska and Dominion Trading company, and we struck mosquitoes as soon as we got into the hills. They are twice as large as our familiar bayou species, and their sting is like the prod Of hot need. They sweep along the valleys in dense clouds. and If they catch a man unprepared they are liable to blind him before he can escape. I heard stories of children being stung to death, and can readily believe them. Whenever we went ashore we wore heavy hat nets and took the utmost precaution, but were certain to suffer more os. less. One of our party cut the tongues out of his shoes and a narrow line of sock was exposed under the laeing Next day he was bitten there at least a hundred times, and his feet were so terribly inflamed that the shoes had to be cut off. Another man, fireman in the boat crew, got drunk on Alaska whisky one afternoon and lay down to take a nap in corner of the engine room, and was mortified at the solid brown mass of mosquitoes that had settled on small exposed section of his cheek and throat. In an hour his face was swollen out of all resemblance to any, thing 1eaman, he was unable to swal- low and was burning with fever. It was a week before he was able to be about. saw number of cattle near Fort Hamilton that had been made stone blind by stings near the eye. The arctic foothill mosquito is with out doubt the most terrible insect pest in the world. New Orleans Times Dem 3crat.

Three Hundred Years Old.

slem, N. J., is notable for being one of the oldest towns in that state. One of it's most venerable objects is a brick dwelling on East Broadway, once oc- cnpied as a hotel, which was erected in 1891. The building is in fair state of preservation and is referred to with a pardonable pride by the people of the little town. The court house was built in t735 and justice is still admin istered from beneath the broad arch which spans the stage-like platform upon which the presiding judge sits.
