heads are usually covered with caps
of bright &colors made in the shape Of
a bag SO long that the crown of the
Gap often hangs down to the shoulders.
They sometimes carry their money and
their tobacco in their caps
The people here affect the simple life.
Outside the cities the houses are Of
one story. They are usually stone huts,
built of materials gathered on the
ground. The doors and windows are
made by the carpenters. and the viii
lage blacksmiths supply the locks and
hinges. The people have little farms,
on which they raise fruit and small
quantities of grain. They grow oranges,
figs aud grapes. Many Of them
have bees, and raise the honey for
which the island is noted. Among
the chief domestic animals are goats,
of which there are about 10000. !
have seen them In Morocco, Tunisia
and Tripoli. They are considered
about the best along the Mediterran-
can, and are imported not only on ac-
count of their milk, but as breeders,
They give so much milk that the whole
population depends upon them for it's
supply, and the few cows which are
kept are not regarded with favor. In
deed. there is not enough pasture on
the island to furnish good cows milk.
These Maltese goats are the chief
competitors of the Angora goat; and
II is questioned whether they would
not be more valuable for our country
than the latter There S demand in
all the American cities for goats milk
for babies, and young kids are said to
sell at the price of lambs. Hero in
Malta goats milk brings about eight
or ten cents quart. and the average
goat yields from two to two and one
half quarts per day, The milk is not
used for cheese or butter, although
fresh butter and cheese made of
sleeps milk are sold. i see goats In
the streets every morning. They are
driven from house to house and MIXED
at the doors. A not uncommon thing
| IS the tying rags about the goats nip
pies, to prevent the kids sucking theil
lmothers between milking times.

Where St. Paul Stayed.

According to tradition, St. Paul the
Apostle, accompanied by st. Luke, spent
three months on the Island Of Malta.
During this time they lived not far
from Cita Vecchia in a cave, over
which church was built about two
hundred years ago. The cave is about
SO feet in diameter and s., feet high.
There is a marble statue OF st. Paul
in the middle of it. and lights are
kept burning before this day and night.
Among thefirelics Of the church is q
piece of the true cross upon which the
Saviour was crucihed, and also relics
of not less than six of the apostles
and of other saints.

a thousand priests and monks. There

after the manner of the middle ages

Malta has been a possession of the
British since Thomas Jefferson was

by foreigners they still have a Ian
