A SCENE ON THE SOO.

Whe Kew, ‘of France Loo; Possession of the Zand Two Hundred Years Ago. In St. Nicholas there is un article on

‘The Great Lakes’’ by W. S. Harwood.

Mr. Harwood says:

While waiting for my steamer to be carried through canal locks of the Soo, I stood one summer day near a hill on which now stands Fort Brady, over-

§t. Mary’s river and so on to join at last the waters of Huron. On the top of

from the topography of the country, was witnessed two centuries and a quar- ‘ter ago one of the most remarkable, one of the most significant, scenes in the history of the new world. It has been brilliantly described, and I may but mention it.

On June 14, 1671, a strange body of ‘men was assembled on this bill. It was composed of four classes—the official representatives of the king of France, the Catholic missionaries, the voyageurs and the Indians. Weeks before word bad been sent out to the chiefs of 14 of the different tribes of Indians in the re- gion to meet at the Soo on the date mentioned. An immense cross~of wood was made and carried to the top of the hill overlooking the swift flowing rapids. A stout timber with an en- graved plate on it was set up aear the deep hole in the ground which was to hold tle foot of the cross.

When all had assembled, St. Lusson, the representative of the king, lifted in one hand a clod of earth and in the other his naked sword and in the name of his most Christian majesty the king of France took possession of the land, embracing in his assumption ‘‘all the region from the north to the south sea and extending to the ocean on the west.”’ The cross was then raised before the motley throng—the representatives of the government in their most gorgecus suits, the priests in their rich vest- ments, the voyageurs in their hunting gart of skins, the Indians in their most fantastic feathers and paint. As the cross assumed position the priests in- toned a stately chant of the seventeenth century. Then the French exclaimed **Vive le roi!’’ while, as one historian puts it, ‘‘the Indians howled in can- cert.’’

The plate upon the smaller timber bore an engraved inscription denoting the king’s possession of the land.

A SCENE IN SALONICA.

The Jews and Jewesses That Inhabit the Heart of the Town.

In the true ghetto, in the noisome heart of the town, where the cobbled streets run slimy and the people chaffer with the butchers for the refuse of the slaughter house and chicken block, you see the unchanged Jew of the middle ages. Be he bearded grandsire or tiny boy, be wears a long lcose gabardine to bis beels and the fez of his masters. Jf he is well to do, the garment may be fur berdered or it may be of silk, but it coulé ‘not more surely be soiled and greasy if the law required it so. With marriage this survivor of the dark ages grows a beard full and thick and griz- zied in the old men, wiry and black and very sparse in the younger heads of fam- ilies. This is as it isin East Broad- way and Chicago and Berlin, but when you look upon the wives and daughters in Salonica’s ghetto you see medieval characters who have staid in the east, but sent no representatives abraad.

These Jewesses love display and court admiration. They are much fairer than
