There is a small island named Papa
Little that lies in St. Magnus bay, on
the west side Of Shetland. 1t gets its
name in contradistinction to Papa
Stour, or the Big Papa, another island
in the same bay. Both names are of
Morse origin and signify Priest islands,

duced Christianity, says the Liverpool
Daily Post. There was a solitary
croft on this island at one time, but all

grazing purposes. A striking feature
Of the isle is the fact that no mice can
live there; and on various occasions,
to test the truth of this, mice have been
caught and slipped on the isle, but so
uncongenial did its soil prove to their
existence that in a short while they
were dead. There are instances of
c~rofters on the mainland, when

Farmer Wainwright, of Cascade,

are great friends, says a Susque-

ramble through the neighborhood

The singular behavior of the goat
on a recent Sunday afternoon at

and seemed half distracted. Some
one suggested that the animal

seemed TO appreciate the fact that

TO the rear Of the yard, where the
D was found in a pit ten feet
deep, almost in its last struggles.
The puppy was rescued and re-
stored to the goat, which greeted it
with fond caresses and bleated its
thanks to the rescuers.

some so are women, whose work con-

The Swedes. as well as the Germans,

Of this grease-proof paper abroad is
for the wrapping Of butter for ship
ment. While there is plenty Of merely
grease-proof paper now made here,
that Is used extensively for the wrap
ping of hams, bacon and similar food
products. it has not the merit of being
odor-proof as wen as grease-proof,
