Portuguese Cape codders.

Three men and POrtagee" was
the description of his schooner's crew
by an old Cape Cod "Cap'n," the i'm
plication being that the PORTAGE"
was somewhat less than a full man.
This provincial ignorance and conceit,
however, have been pretty well
worked out Of the Cape Cod Yankees
by this time. They now see all about
them the best, it might almost be said
the only, farming worthy of the name,
as fitted to the peculiar situation
namely, the intensive cultivation of
small fruit and early vegetables
done by the skilled and industrious
Portuguese, although the Braves"
may first have arrived on the New
England coast as sailors and fisher
men. In many of the old towns of
the Cape, and indeed all down along
the coast to the furthest ''harbors" of
Maine, the best places in the town,
and in some instances the larger part
OF the land, are now the proud and
prospecting possessions of the little
dark people. Did ever any of us know
such Portuguese who was not a ca
pable fellow small but smart in fig

mean by "chic"-neat in working
clothes, even and neat handed in
work, quick to apprehend and indus

OLDEST BEACON IN AMERICA
me Boston Light Was Built in the
Year 1715 by the English
Government

Inc outer light of Boston harbOr is
boston light, eight miles below the
city and at the very outer end of the
enamel that ocean liners follow. It
stands on Little Brewster Island, a
pile OF rocks partly grassed over in
us gentle hollow on the sheltered
side.
Three families live there-those of
the mead keeper and his two assist
ants In all the inhabitants number a
dozen souls, besides two dogs, a cat
ana raccoon. There are five chill
dren, and teacher is provided by
the town of Hull in conjunction with
the state
The school is kept in the third
story of the head keepers house.
There in large light room looking
out in all directions upon the sea the
children do their studying and recite
their lessons.

far and wide.
A rustic iron railway for carrying
coal leads up from the water side to
the engine house, where is an engine
and boilers in which steam is kept UP
continually to operate the siren fog
horns. Their great trumpet-like forms
protrude through the wall of the
building on the seward side. In
foggy weather one can hear from the
open windows the far off mooing of
the foghorn on the Boston lightship
, seven miles away, as the keepers of
the lightship can hear this one at
Boston light
An old cannon lies on the ground
near the lighthouse; it was provided
by the Cunard Steamship company be-
fore the foghorn was installed to give
signals. It is unused now But in
addition to the great revolving light
on the tower there is a set of red and
white range lights that give the loca-
ton OF anchorage for vessels in the
channel. If they see red it means
that they are out of their proper To-
cation, but if white they are safe
