ponies do not become even more
popular than they are. Perfectly
bred specimens are only to be OBJ
tanned at a price which few PEG
pie care to give for what is prac-
tically only plaything for children.
One would think that an enterprising
breeder might find a good opening
here.
Away to the north of Scotland lies
the group Of Islands in which the
diminutive horses commonly called
Shelties have their home. The Shet.
lands are not all inhabited, some Of
the smaller islands being used merely
as pasturage for a few sheep There
10 little to attract either the agricul.
turist or the merchant, SO progress is
slow: the islanders till their land by
old-fashioned methods, and many Of
them still have recourse to barter as
means Of obtaining necessaries.

the artist there is much to charm.
Some perhaps would describe the is
lands as barren-but what barrenness!

tracts from the general beauty OF the
landscape.
Countless tarns, streams and lochs
all serve to make the coloring of the
heathercovered hills and the gloomy
tints OF the moors stand out in pleas.
ing contrasts. while near the sea bold
cliffs tower over the blue waters,
whose waves dash against their rocky
sides. Overhead numerous sea birds
circle on their way to their nests on
the lodges.
The largest island is known rs the
mainland. with length OF ffty.four
miles and width of twenty-one. The
islands have singularly mild and
equable climate considering their ex-
posed situation and compose one OF
the most healthful districts OF Scot.
land; but even the most adventurous
tourists seldom visit them, because n
doubtful sea trip In small steamer
is necessary before they can be
reached.
OF the entire area OF hbi square
miles scarcely one-sixth Is under cul.
tivation. yet the Shetlanders manage
TO maintain something like 100000
sheep. 10000 cattle and 5000 of the
famous ponies. The inhabitants are
of Morse origin and In their speech
and customs retain many of the char.
acteristics of their forefathers. They
support themselves chiefly by the
herring and other fishing industries.
They cannot AFFORD to give much
