Utmost isolation.

OtmoSS tSoiatfons
One OF the most isolated colonies
Of civilized human beings on the face
OF the earth is that on the island OF
Tristan d'Acunha, which lies almost
midway between the Cape Of Good
Hope and Cape Horn. This lonely
island lies In such position that 1t
misses both eastern and western ships
end the islanders receive only the
rarest visits from a whaler and occa-
sicnally from British warship. The
inhabitants number about seventy and
are descendants of sailors, castaways
and handful of soldiers left on the
island when It was garrisoned by a
company of British artillery during
the time Of the great Bontparte's ex-
lie ut st. Helena. When T. G. Kerry,
British capitalist. visited Tristan
twelve years ago he found sailor
named Green installed as the chief
man. The islanders have no laws.

even grapes. Grain they cannot raise.
as this island is infested with rats.
The people are rseskinned and
rather childish In manner, but very
honest and hardworking.

WRITERS AND THEIR WIVES.

In Very Few Cases Has There Been
Complete Sympathy.
Writers wives are unappreciative
as rule Of their husbands work, -
said publisher. For instance, Nine.
lola never read single one of the
ACKNOWLEDGMENT series. She thought
that Zola's books were wicked.
THAT, of course. is an extreme case.
But Carlyle's wife did not think much
OF the hectoring, whining Scot she
had married. She and Froude used to
sit together and discuss Carlyle's
faults in low tone. She admired Car
lyle's talent, but she thought 1t was
overrated. The public of to-day ap-
pears to agree with her, for Carlyle,
for classic. sells miserably.
Dickens wife didn't like Dickens
books. She could see no humor in
them. That was one Of the reasons
Why she and Dickens lived apart. :
"Byron's wife disapproved of his
poetry. She thought that for lord
to write poetry was a waste of time.
She would constantly break into BY
ron's study and ask him to put his
silly rhymes aside.
Once Byron had an admiring friend
In the house and he hurried this friend
into his sanctum and began to read
Cain out loud. While he was reading
Lady Byron ran into the room.
Oh she said. oh, do | disturb
you, Byron?'
Yes replied the poet, and he
continued his reading, and his wife
withdrew.
Writers wives, as rule, don't
like their husbands work. think
they are jealous of It,"

HYMNS OF A HIGH NUMBER,
Curious Rule Prevails in the ENGLISH

Se'Shs Nulc Prevails IN the ENGLISH

A curious fact anent the service
held In the English church at Monte

seven Is ever sung there. The reason
for this may not be generally known.
1t Is as follows:
A member of the congregation, q
certain English peer. once went to
the rooms on Sunday, Immediately
after the morning service, and put
the maximum on thirty-two. the num-
Der OF the last hymn. 1t turned up,
and the inspiration" was widely
talked about, as such things are in the
frivolous society of the principally.
The next Sunday the little church
was crowded and the last hymn being
low number. an unseemly rush to
the rooms took place directly it was
announced. Curiously enough, the
number again turned up and the bank
was badly hit
On the following Sunday the church
would not hold all the "worshipers,"
but their intent was frustrated as
all the hymns were "off the board"
and have been so ever since.

The short, fast swims and the bob

"The Simple Life"

To cast the belittling care away,
To love our labor--and our play
To count our comforts every day
And curb undue desire.
To live at peace without. within.
To help the weak, to strive with sin,
To scorn unlawful gains to win
And feed loves sacred fire.
To learn that silence wisdom brings,
To find that power from patience springs
To mark the might In little things.
And honor man-as man.
To speak the truth. to hate a lie,
TO gladly live nor fear to die.
To hope for Heaven by and by
And trust tn Eternal Plan.
