l. South Atlantic ocean, 1900
miles from the coast of Africa
and 1900 miles from South
America, lies the rocky little island of
st. Helena, one of the many outposts
of the British empire. Discovered by
the Portuguese about 1902 and settled
by the Dutch in 1645, 1t was taken by
the English in 1867 and almost con-
tinuously since then has been held
by them as a naval station. Its eco
nomic and commercial Importance is
almost nil, and its population is only
about 5000, but its name will live for
ever, for to that distant rock one hun
dred years ago Napoleon Bonaparte
was taken by his conquerors, there to
spend his remaining years in exile
under strictest guard
There for six years the man who
had dominated and re-made Europe
lived In such state as was afforded by
the somewhat meager allowance made
him, and there, on May 5, 1921, he
passed away. During all this time
several thousand troops and a feet of
warships were maintained at st. Hell
ena to prevent the escape of the great
Corsican.
Once again. many years later, the
island was put to similar use by the
British, for during the South African
war of 1899-1902 nearly 5000 Boer
prisoners, among them General Cron-
je, were sent there.
The island is a crown colony and is
administered by governor and a
council.

The use of more than a single cup
full of water for washing is held as
great an extravaganza as bath in
champagne would be among us. For
water in winter is precious since it
has to be obtained by the tedious
process OF melting ice or snow. Once
before had come to realize this fact.
l thoughtlessly asked my hostess one
morning for a second cupful of water
from the big family kettle which al.
ways hangs above the fire; had ex-
travagantly used up the whole of the
first cupful on my teeth, and wanted
little more for my face and hands.
A stare OF blank establishment was
followed by a look of indignant sur
prise from the outraged housewife.
"Nienakinma Ito the dog)!" she
muttered through her teeth, as she
handed me scanty half cupful; you
can wash as much as you like in the
