Sable Island.

Sable Island is a small island in the
Atlantic ocean,, lying directly in the
track of vessels sailing between the
northern ports of Canada and Europe.
1t is ninety miles southeast of
Nova Scotia. 1t is low and sandy,
about twenty-five miles in length and
one and a quarter miles in breadth,
and has been the scene OF numerous
and melancholy s~hipwrecks. A COM
pany of men. furnished with provis-
ions and other necessaries for the pur-
pose Of relieving shipwreCked mari
ners, is supported by the Dominion
government on the island. at the an
nual expense of about 5000. Two
lighthouses, one at each end of the
island, with powerful fixed lights,
which can be seen al a distance OF
thirty miles. were constructed a few
years ago Steam for fog whistles are
attached to each. The island is o v
cred with grass and wild peas. which
sustain many wild horses and cattle.
The fisheries in the vicinity are be-
lieved to be extensiye.-Montreal Her

In height they vary from one to three
stories. the former class being by far
the most popular. The exteriors are

variously tinted cslcimines produces a
strikinsly picturesque effect The

enormous size, frequently being a foot
in length and weighing over a pound.
The Mexican people are devout low

likewise fond Of entertaining their

Her Opinion of Her American Sis
tiers who Travel Abroad.

There is no denying the fact that Am
erican women are perfectly charming.
They are bright, clever, smart and
CHEEKY, writes an Englishwoman in the
London Daily MALL
| We see the best and the worst of them
in England. The best are those who come
with good introductions and are imnledi-
ately received into London society. The
worst are those whose ''poppas' have
made pile within a few years, and, be-
ing practically uneducated themselves,
and wishing their wives and daughters to
be quite up to date. pack them off to '.Eu-
rope" with some thousands of dollars in
their pockets to improve their manners
and their minds.
We tumble across this latter class of
Americans all over the Continent and In
England. The woman talks loud in a
high pitched key. with a nasal twang she
.'guesses' all along the line; she pays
twice much as she ought to for every
thing because she thinks it is aristocratic
to do so, little knowing how poor true
arfstocrats often are. Her children, whom
she generally has In tow, are one degree
worse than herself Those children are
what one kindly terms precocious. They
take late dinners, accompany their elders
to theatres and do their best to wear out
their juvenile minds and bodies. These
are the Yankees to be avoided
The American woman one meets in the
United States is very different person.
Generaily tall ana well built, she dresses
to perfection, and usually suitably. Her
best gowns come from Paris-she willing
ly pays so per cent duty on their car
riage-and her tailor-made ones are built
on her side of the herring pond-there are
no better anywhere than can be found in
the States. She is a fine make of woman,
and her cloth gowns suit her-it is the
style of garment she generally dons, and
the only practical kind for everyday use
in land where life is spent in and out
of tramcars elevated railways. In
muddy weather she is practical, and has
her skirt cut several inches off the
ground-no pretence at short skirt but
the real thing, short enough to clear her
shoes or her boots.
She is an extravagant person, this
American woman, for she spends twice
if not three times as much on her dress
as her English sister, and she certainly
knows how to make money fly in every
direction. Is this not a little hard on the
poor husbands?
The Washington times., 1901-09-29

you invite them, and swear that the divan
in your den is the happiest corner of the
earth to them.
'They will dance with you at a cotil-
lion, but they will never take you to one,

makes his own and he strews your path

But, alasi' broke in a fair-haired
Southerner with a far-away look, there
is such fault as being too givey."
