ernment. The land is divided into see tions of: 600¢ acres, and anyone can hold as Many of these as his inclination and means will permit. Quite a number of islands are heid by individuals who ‘ive Robinson Crusoe fashion, or at best, a man with his family only on each'island. On the larger islands the holdings range from 6000 acres up, and each holder, livine alone on his hold- ing, is thus well nich as isolated as if he lived on an island. All travel over ‘the island is by horseback alone. There is not one wheeled vehicle outside of

» . : ‘T. :

Port Stanley. There being no roads, and the land being divided by wire fences, a traveler, when crossing any

island, must needs employ a guide to find the gate.

Of course, since the houses are 380 far apart, the children of these ranch- ers get no education save only such as their parents give them, and that is of only the most primitive charactor. They learn to herd and shear sheep; to pack the wool for market ana sell it: to buy supplies at the store (the trade of the island is practically the monopoly of one company), and deposit their sur- plus' money in the Government savings bank. Most of the boys learn, in addi- tion to this, to handle the sloops and small schooners that are found in large humbers there.

All the available land having been oceupied, the gradual increase of the population finds no place to eceupy. In consequence, the young people go away to the unoccupied lands of Patagonia and Terra del Fuego, taking as an in- heritance the surplus sheep of their parents, for the sheep have increased until all the pasture is occupied.

The scenery of the islands is at once barren and picturesque. Grass makes them green, but there is not a tree in the group. Every attempt to cultivate trees, even.the rugged beeches of ‘I'ere ra del Fuego, has failed. The surfacy of the islands is undulating and even rugged, some of the mountains risin’ 2000 feet above the sea. There are ab- solutely barren rocks and precipices and guiches. More interesting _ stil! there are “rivers of stone’—streams in the mountains whose courses. are marked only by the winding banks,

filled with broken rock, beneath which ‘the torrents of ‘may be heard, as it roars along, but is! mmever seen.

water run.

In the mountains there are still to bs ‘foung wild cattle, and wild fowls in great numbers inhabit the coasts, but the people are not much given to sport.

The climate is also interesting. Snow

‘never falls to a depth of more than an

inch, while the fresh water ponds freeze no more than a mere film of ice. On the other hand, the thermometer

‘runs usually from 30 to 50 degrees Fah-

renheit, while the wind blows so stead-

‘fly and so hard that the people of the

interior, are said to have a gatt pecu- liar to the region—a gait in which they bend to the gale, and tack to wind- ward like a sailing ship. It is uever- theless a healthy region, the death rate being no more than six in a thousand annually, and the appearance of the people is hale, hearty, and rosy-cheek- ed. In connection with the climate it is worth mentioning that the waters bave a chiil, peculiarly their own, that is so penetrating that no one hag ever plunged into the sea for a bath tthere and returned to the surface to relate his experiences. At least that is what Mr Rveutledge- says.

While the people of the ranches live Hesco@te und lonely lives, society at Port Stanley seems to have an attrac- “ive There is afsocial club with a reading room avd a library, and meet-

“They Never Touched It,”

To those worthy souls who every now and again start out to annihilate the oicycle, we respectfully svbmit che fol- lowing little boy’s sturr, which was told several years ago by the San Francisce Examiner, to illustrate some similarly impractical crusade :—

One time there was a young gote wich felt butty, and there was a ole ram wich lay in the road, half asleep, a chune bis cud. The gote he ha:i been shet up ina paster o! his life, an had never saw a ram, and e sed te his sister, the gote did, ‘‘ You jest stan still an se me wipe that freek off the face of the erth.’’ Sq the gote he werné up before the ram an’ stompt his feets an’ shuke his head real friteful, but the ram he dident git up, but only jes kep a chune his cud and wotched out between his i lashes. Bime by the gote he backed of and tuk a run, an’ then arose up in the air an’ come down with his hed on the ram’s hed, wack! The gote’s hed was busted, but the ole ram he never wank his eve. Then the ole ram he smiled with his mowth, an’ sed to the butte gote’s sister, ‘‘’Pears to me, miss, that kang- aroo of yourn is mity careless where he lites; he eome gum dasted near makin me swoller my cud.

Styles and “Materinis. For Ciothing Litile Girls,

The first Iittle frocks that demande attention in the winter season are thor« for school wear, Even very smal! gi ls have their own ideas as to how tney should dress at school, and it is posi- tive cruelty to dress a child in a way that makes her unhappy, particularly now when there are so many pretty styles to choose from. There are two patterns for skirts—one gored, and one made in straight breadths. The former is quite on the fashion of a womaa's Fown, with the front breadth narrow ai the top and wide at the bottom. but while there are not so many gores, and

the skirt is not exaggeratedly fall great care must be taken to have th frent and side breadths fit well: jusi

a little fulness can be allowed, but noi encugh to make it apparent.

The straight all-around gathered skirts are not as fashionable as the; were, but many mothers like them as being more youthful. If a child is at all inelined to he stout, these straight skirts are not pretty, for of necessity they have a great deal of fulnes around the hips; but where a child is slicht, the fulness is more becomin2 than the gored skirts, Plaids in ua!) sorts of materials are considered smart and are generally made up With the straight skirts. A pretty French mode) has the waist with quite a full blous effect in front, straps over the shoul- ders, and put on in yoke fashion, with belt and bands around the sleeves t mitch, of white satin an inch ani a2 half wide, braided in a Grecian pattern with black soutache braid. This on a sown of red and black plaid is im mensely effective, without beng to» elaborate. Another -plaid gown of green and blue has a yoke pointed back anv fromt of plain blue cloth; this is braid- ed with narrow and wide braid, and a band of the same finishes the belt, Ar ali-plaid gown unrelieved by trimming is not always becoming, and these dif- ferent effects relieve the hard look Poplins are greatly in favor in plaids. and an exceedingly pretty frock in the red and white and yellow plaid which is always so becoming is prettily trim med with bands of narrow black vel- vet ribbon, finished with loops and tiny giit buttons. Four of these straps ar. put over the shc uiders just a little way apart, form a belt, and the band around the wrist and neck. Tiny gvid buttons on the black velvet look very brgiht and youthful, and the whole frock is as smart as one could wish.

The different cheviots are much used for scheol frvucks. Flue and black, red and black, and the different browns are considered the best. The blue and black ~ quire considerable trimming, 0 e’ee they will Irok too old. They arc senerally made wth jacket fronts trim- med with black Iiaid) but even ther are not suitalle for very young girls A pretty mod-l of a brown cheviot has the gored skirt and a piain waist whict has revers turned back from the Wais to the shoulder and covered with linen. This looks youthful and preity, and i most becoming. it has also a belt anc eailar of brown surah, The regular all

,

i cheviot frecks are made with th gathered skirts, «nd the waist full i: front, but tight-fitting in the back They are sometimes trimmed wit braid, but the braid must he put o bands or a yoke of some bright color

otherwise it wWi'l make the materia look too dull and heavy.—Ilarper’s Ba zar.
