Good London Story.

Occasionally they manufacture a
good story in London. One Of the
latest tells Of family passionately
devoted to bridge whist which was
plunged into mourning by the loss OF
the father. A discussion arose as to
whether the deceased would have
chosen to be buried or cremated The
decision was left to the eldest son,
who, looking at his mother, said. Il

lady replied: Y make It spades.

All boys, old as we'll as young, were
deeply interested in report concern
ing the fate Of that romantic spot in
the south Pacific Ocean known as the
Island of Juan Fernandez, where dear,
delightful old Robinson CrusOe made
imperishable fame for himself, largely
because there were no theatera or fra
ternal organizations to distract his at
tention. At least, that is what many
believe, though a few who profess to
know stoutly aver that CrusOe never
existed except in the vivid Imagination
of Daniel Defoe, author Of the story,
who based his yarn on events in the
life of Alexander Selkirk, a ScOtchman,
who spent several years In the solitude
of this rocky protuberance in the vast
Pacific, 400 miles off the coast of Chilli.
During the recent quake that shook
up Valparaiso 1t is said the Island of
Juan Fernandez disappeared, leaving
neither track, trace nor sembIance Of
the romantic spot. What a Plty! 1t
must have made the water bubble when
1t went under, for it was about six
miles broad by eighteen In length and
covered with rocky peaks, the highest
having an elevation of about 1000 feet
The Island of Juan Fernandez was
discovered in the sixteenth century by
the companion Of Plzarro, for whom it
is named. 1t was once a nest of pl-
rates, then a fortified Spanish station,
later became a Gillian convict station,
and of late has had over score Of
peaceful inhabitants clustered in a val
ley hamlet

it the station from which he and his
men sailed forth to ravage the Chilli

dence, and I was thus able TO intercept
It. II was addressed to "Cantab," and
had been forwarded, unopened, by the
editor Of the review The envelope bore
a German stamp, but the post-maFk had
been smeared and was quite undistin-
guishable. The letter was neatly written
IN English. 1t consisted almost entirely
of the most violent personal threats
against my father. The writer declared
that he would soon find out "Cantab's"
real name, and would suitably repay him
for his SANDERS against the greatest
scientific work of the century. l was
very frightened about it, but several
friends to whom 1 showed the letter
! laughed away my fears, saying 1t was
undoubtedly the work of some mailman,
( and advising me to burn 1t. This l did.
! never mentioned the affair to my faith
er, whose health was giving me great
anxiety at the time.
During September my father had tax
en- a cottage on the Cornish coast, and
when the end of the Long Vacation
came, the doctors forbade his return to
Cambridge. l had hard work to per-
suade him that it was best to obey their
orders; but at last he gave In, and we
settled down for the winter.
The cottage was built at the foot Of a
low hill strewn with boulders and torn
by the autumn rains. Upon It's summit
the chimney of an abandoned tin mine
rose against the sky like a vast flag
pole, with roohess buildings grouped
around 1t in melancholy decay. 1t was
always a depressing spot to me, and l
rarely visited it, though the view was
splendid. About half 4 mile before the
cottage the moorland ended abruptly in
a line Of glorious cliffs, two hundred and
fifty feet Of granite and shining pOrph-
yry from brow to breaker. This was my
faVoritO walk. loved to crawl to the
edge, that l might peer over at the reefs
that sprang out from the tumblod rocks
at the cliff fOOt like the bones of 4 giants
hand. l haVO lain thus for hours watch
Ing the great rollers advancing in that
stately, inSxOrabl0 march Of theirs, rank
following rank, until they burst In thun'
derOus green fountains Of feam. Some
times, when a fierce wind blew from the
southwest, the spray they hurled intO the
air Would wet my face, even whore I lay
30 infinitely far above them.
Between the cottage and the cliff the
ground dipped into q little glen, or gOyal
aS the country folks called 1t, GhOked
with Storm-twisted trees and deep with
gorBe and ferns Through it ran oul
cart track, winding down to the fishing
village Of Polleven, where the tiny. stone
rooted houses chung to a gap in the cliff
wall like barnacles on a rock.
Besides my father and myself. Mar,
iory, our cook-housekeeper, who had
been with US ever since l could remem
Der, was the only other inhabitant Of the
cottage. On Tuesdays and Thursdays q
red-cheeked maiden, who had quite re
markable powers of breaking crockery

that date will chiefly rely upon my

perience. Please do not laugh at the

hundred years ago. The service had
been read, the prayers said, the hymns.

came very energetic. He brought his.
right hand down with great force
Then he turned pale, cleared the pulpit
stairs at a bound, dashed out the
church door and ran toward the pond
a short distance away
The congregation followed in bewil-
dered pursuit, and saw their venerable
pastor with flying robe rush into the
water until it came to his neck. Them
turning round, he faced his astonished
audience and said:

his pocket In witness of the tale. Then
he dismissed the company and hurried

BEAVER FARM NO lDLERs' HOME.


Furry COIOnIsts Drive on Those Who
VIII Net Work.
On the farm of the Rev. w. e. Chris
mas, a few miles from this town, ex-
lists one Of the few beaver farms OF
Canada, says a New York Post writer
at Oxbow, Sask. Within the limits OF
the farm are Eve large dams, peOpled
by some 200 beavers. The banks Of
the Souris river, which runs through
the farm, are fringed with poplar trees,
supplying the beaver with the best Of
building mateial and also with his
daily bread. According to law pass
ed in 1896, 1t is Illegal to kill beavers
until the fall of 1905 consequently this
colony Is waxing strong and multi
plying very rapidly. Having been pro-
tected from the trappers for the past
ten years, they are becoming very tame.
and do not seem to mind a casual on
locker, although they do most of their
work by moonlight One night these
beavers cut down ffty-two trees, ac-
cording to the Rev. Mr.. Christmas, who
4 takes a great deal of interest in his
little tenants and watches carefully to
see no harm comes to them.
These beavers are very Industrious,
and have no use for one of their num-
Der who refuses to do his share Of the
work. When such a member of the,
heck is noticed the others drive him
away to live in solitude and when such
a beaver is found by trapper they
are knsWn as bachelors. 1t takes the.
beavers but short time to fell large
sized tree, and they are able to throw
it in any direction desired. When once
felled the tree Is quickly cut up into
lengths for houses, dams, or food, as
may be required. The house Of the.
beaver is built on the bank of the
river, with Its entrance under water.
Once having built the entrance the
rest Of the house Is started, the whole
colony working at the house until it
Is finished, and when completed 1t is
warm, dry and cozy. Although 1t Is
impossible for beavers to live for long
under water, the entrance Is built for
some distance under the water, and
then there is a long tunnel connecting
the house with the water.
A beaver family usually consists Of
four or five and comes into the world
with Its eyes wide open. The young
ones live with their parents for two
years and then they are made to shift
for themselves. The full-grown beaver
measures about two feet in length,
with a tail some ten inches long, which
he can use as a spade or a trowel as
we'll as a paddle. The average age Is
10 years, although some have been
known to be as old as 20, but such
cases are said to be rare. When the
animal is years Of age Its pelt is at:
Its prime, and will fetch from $40
to $12 In Minneapolis.

father was violently opposed to It, but
