THE QUIET WINTER FIELDS.

THE QUIET WINTER FIELDS.
| Sweet are the winter fields;
The quiet winter fields of brown n
gray,
And white, and tawny yellow. like the
names
OF Asiatic lions; lonely plains .
| OF pleasing d~esolation, whence the
yields
OF sumptuous summer have been
borne away;
Long, silent lands-haunts of the
wandering air
Which breathe out, signing, from the
woodlands bare;
How sad-how sweet, are they!
BY Robert Burns Wilson, in the
January Metropolitan Magazine.
NATIVE DISHES IN JAMAICA.
In Jamaica, as everywhere else,
there are two ways to do things.
There is the beaten track kof the
' tourist to follow, with its hotels of
varying excellence, conventional
drives and all that sort of thing.
To know the island and the allure
ments of it's ingratiating tropical
beauty, however, to appreciate the
double interest of British resident
customs, together with the quaint
oddities of the negro native life next
to the earth" one must travel a diff
ferent course. Courtesy to visitors
to the island is everywhere manifest.
There are native dishes that no hotel
on the island can make to taste so
good. There l learned the indescriba-
Bile righteousness of a properly devil
ed Jamaica black crab. There were
served curries that would make an
habitue of Delmonico's sit up and
take notice. Turtle, real turtle, pre-
pared with a delicacy to delight an
epicure, and native oysters that ia
maicans facetiously say grow on
trees" Tropical fruits in all their
fragrance and juicy prime gave an
intimation of the productive posi-
bilities of the island. The green-tin-
ted Jamaica orange, thin of skin and
richly juicy, grape fruit of superior
quality, the avocado pear, oily in
composition and nutty in flavor; pine
apples, in Jamaica they cut them in
half horizontally and eat them with a
spoon, mangoes, akee, bread fruit,
achra, chocho, yams and more yams
were there to tempt the inexperienced
palate.-The Travel Magazine.

THE WHITE CANOE OF DEATH.
How long ! stood at the window /
do not know. / became aware of
deepening silence-a hush of expec-
fancy. Affair in the s~teel-gray sky
something moved, a white spot like
an arctic hawk, approaching swiftly.
1t came on SO srapidly it seemed to
grow and expand-nearer and carer.
The noon touched high lights on the
strange shape. 1t CLEANED satin
smooth on a curved canoe bow; it
sparkled as on beads. of falling ice
from the paddles; 1T shone in one
straight stroke of keen light on the
barrel of a long gun, and outlined the
clean cut, handsome face of the man
who held 1t, He stood erect, still as
a carved figure head. His cap of fur
had soft ~tassels, and his coat, of buck
skin, was fringed with ermine tails
on both sleeves. The four men be-
hind him were vague and shroudy,
save where the moonlight caught
some ornament or glittered for an in
slant on sunken eyes.
The vision passed before me
through the air with the gliding dip
of a canoe shooting a swift rapid.
The ether seemed to bear its strange
burden with terrible impelling force.
as on invisible, inaudible currents,
Yet no wind stirred. The leader rails
ed his hand. Four paddles instantly
steadied and hung, with the swift.
fish-like twist of arresting motion.
The canoe paused above the trees for
the fraction of an instant.
