An island Of Flowers.

The Sicily islands may very justly
be termed flower islands, for a large
part of their surface is given up to the
cultivation of flowers, and the great
majority of their people spend their
lives In attending to the plants. from
which all the wealth OF the islands is
drawn. The inhabitants have had
other occupations before they settled
down to flower growing. At one time
they we're wreckers, and at later pc
Rod they went into a more legitimate
business and devoted themselves to
the raising Of early potatoes. There
was money to be made out of them
and the islands prospered until pros
perity bore its usual fruit In the shape
Of competition. The channel islanders
took to growing potatoes, and the pO-
tato trade of the ScilIy islands was
killed. Thereupon the islanders be-
took themselves TO flower growing,
giving the greater part of their at
tention to the narcissi. In st. Mary's
alone nearly quarter of the cult
waited area of the island is devoted to
flowers

The American people will be glad
that Mr. Roosevelt has not been
frightened out OF his purpose to
send the fleet on its projected cruise.
"a few Eastern newspapers have
made several sorts of accusations
against him on account OF the

with Japan; that he Is anxious to
make demonstration in the Pa

Imagination about the time the ma

not a square yard Of land on either
