Mooda of the Bay of Fundv,

The bay of Fundy is full of strange and contradictory features. Grand Manan island, which lies to the port hand of a vessel entering the bay, is one rocky graveyard-on the reef to the southeast an impaled ship is a con- mon sight. Every indentation, nay. every rocky cranny, bears some ter rible and suggestive name descriptive of some maritime tragedy. On the island, twelve miles in length and scarcely inhabited, is 8 graveyard filled with the bodies of unknown sailors. A little above Trinity rock the coast of Nova Scotia rises in rocky parapets from the sea and narrow inlet admits to the Annapolis valley where, strange to say, the eye rests on a fertile valley of apple orchards which raise the highest priced fruit in the world. In this sheltered space is climate which, owing partly to the gulf stream and partly to position, differs altogether from the arctic cold of the stormy sea without.-Westmin ster Gazette.

ENaR Eat lt2

There is dish of the olden time that has been crowded almost out of mem- ory by the ruthless tide of common events. It was a cold weather food that came with the snow and hog kill ing time and then vanished with the angry clouds and bowling winds.
 When one ate it the green grass melt ed away the snow, the birds sang in the blossoming cherry trees and old frigid winter became the middle of May: It was so easy to eat. It melted ln the mouth like ice cream, it was so soft and delicate. Let person fully satisfy his appetite on 1t, and he could go out in zero weather and enjoy a tropical blessing. This food did not last long, for it was part of an event that soon hurried by, and this was a grateful dispensation, too, for a person would be apt to eat too much of it if it lasted long. But 1t is we'll it passed away. This degenerate generation, filled with caramels and angels food couldn't appreciate it. But in those beautiful days before the war it was a beloved diet.

The Duke and the Artist.

In Random RecOllections' is this story of the Duke of Connaught. The incident happened at Windsor castle. The duke was criticising a water color done by R. Caton Woodville, represent ing drummer in the guards:
 Look here, MT. WoOdville,'' he said, you have made a mistake in the mounting of the braiding on this drum mer's coat; the fringe on the side of the chest ought to run in this direc- tion," indicating the line. 'I am cer- tain of it, for as a boy I wore the uniform, but I will show you what l mean" and, turning to his A. D. C.. he asked him to have the bugler of the castle guard sent up. The bugler came, and the duke, turning toward him, said, ''Now, MT. Woodville, will show you what mean" And then, as he looked critically at the boys uniform' be exclaimed, "By love, MT.

Washino Dav In Sicily,

The Sicilians have the reputation of not washing themselves overfreQuent- Iy, but if they are remiss in this re- spect they more than make up for it by washing their garments-washing. in fact, being a perennial occupation among the women. The songs of the women folk as they scrub the clothes of their husbands and children outside the doors of their homes, if living in a. city, or in some brook or running stream if living in the country, are . noticeable feature of lower class Sicil- ian life. Tbe long spikes on the prickly pear leaves and aloe plants make splen- did natural pegs on which to dry the clothes, and i'll all the rural districts you will see them thus utilized, but if they do not happen to be sufficiently handy the clothes are often stretched out upon the mountainside to dry. The occupation and recreation of most of the poorer women may be summed up in three words-washing and gossip Wide World Magazine.
