The population of St. Kilda, the most
westerly Of the inhabited Scottish isles,
Is uniGa.s one in many respects. The
people are the most lonely In the Unit
ed Kingdom, there being very little
communication with the mainland and
sometimes not for months at stretch.
Socially the islanders are practically a
commune. IL the head Of household
is injured or loses his life among the
rocks. his widow and family share In
the proceeds of their labor as IL he
were there to take part In 1t. II family
illness prevents any one joining In the.
days work, he is asked to stay at
home, and his interests will not be lost
sight Of. AL questions, complaints,
etc, are determined by their mode, or
local parliament, whose judgment is
final. Early morning conferences usu-
ally determine the days tasks.
St. Kildians are most industrious
and active as well as religious peo-
pie, and on the island at any rate the
vexed problem Of church attendance
has been solved. Every man. woman
and child capable Of leaving the house
hold goes regularly to church. and
only some serious disability will keep
any person at home.-Scottish Ameri-
can.

He wa..,t Too Deaf.

Deafness is largely matter Of habit.
says writer In the New York Press. l
know men who cannot hear you two
feet away, though you bawl at them,
yet at the distance Of block they will
grasp your faintest whisper. Some are
deaf for convenience, some for fraud.
some for hypocrisy. Beware Of the deaf
man. One Of the noted deaf men was
old Matt Griffin, long ago an assembly
man from Griffin's Corners, Delaware
county, n. Y. By courtesy deaf MEM
bers receive front seats In the assem-
bly,, while others usually draw lots.
When old Matt was excused from
drawing fellow member hotly pro-
tested. But the old man is as deaf as
Q post" said the house leader. "Deaf!
exclaimed the protestant. Matt Grit
I'm deaf! Why. bless your honest soul,
he could hear a ten cent shinplaster
rattle in bag Of feathersw

The Ftr.t Iron ship.

The first iron ship has more reputed
birthplaces than Homer, according to
Chambers Journal. Both the Clyde
and the Mersey claim pre-eminence In
this respect. Sir =. J, Robson Of Edin-
burgh designed an iron vessel in 1916,
which was not launched till three years
later, and 1t is said that an iron boat
was worked on the Severn even as far
back as 1887. Steel was not used In the
construction OF merchant ships hulls
until 1859. Old salts were not alone in
their belief that wood was meant by
Providence to float, but iron to so to
the bottom. A naval constructor Of
some repute once said; Don't talk to
me of iron ships. They are contrary to
nature" Now none but small craft are
built Of wood in England.

Carlyle ana HIS Home.

When the great writer Carlyle was
engaged to Miss Welsh the latter In
duced her mother to consent that Car
lyle should live with both Of them and
share the advantage of an established
house and income. But Carlyle an
swered Miss Welsh's proposal by say
ing that two households could not live
as If they were one and that he would
never have any right enjoyment Of his
wife's company till she was ''all his
own" adding that the moment he was
master Of house the first use he
would make Of 1t would be to slam the
door against nauseous intruders.

Hairdressing Ii an elaborate study
in Japan, where the style Of the Golf
fure generally indicates the position
and age Of the lady. Thus girls of
eight or nine wear their hair In bow
at the back bound round with red Grape,
the front left bare except for two locks
dangling at the side, and the mar
riageable damsels comb their tresses
high in front and arrange them ei-
ther in the shape Of butterfly or a
half opened fan. A widow looking out
for second spouse twists her locks
round long shell hairpin placed hori-
zontally across the back of the head,
while she who vows to remain faithful
to the dear departed cuts her hair
short and combs 1t plainly back with
out any parting.

The WORD .Rax9inx.n

The word Raging Is more common
in England than in this country, even
II the custom Is not. An English paper
asserts that rag" is not slang word.
but is real old verb. also to be found
In use among Icelanders. meaning to
banter or irritate. In Lincolnshire and
doubtless other counties to provoke q
boy is called getting his rag out"
"Bullyrag'' Is an elaboration Of the ele-
mentary term. and here also the mean
ing is clear. A ragamuffin originally
meant a kind of demon.
