cocoanut shell by way of a bonnet, and all are shouting and singing like frantic Meenads. There goes a tali and stately Haitian woman, a veritable Junoin ebony, dressed in flowing white, topped by 2 gaudy turban beside which Joseph's coat would be comparison in the line of many colors, and on top of the turban is poisedatray of cakes. Those children, playing on a doorstep, dressed precisely in the suit they were born in, are evidently natives. Here comes a white horse (no use to look around here for red-headed girls), with a scarlet saddle-cloth and other brilliant comparisonings, closely followed by a sheep with abellonits neck. Isthere acireus coming? Oh, no! The patriarchal rider, with mutton-chop whiskers and closely cropped head under a broad pana ma hat, is only plain Mr. Somebody, formerly of Copenhagen, and it is the fash here, as in many parts of the West Indies, for sheep to accompany horses. They say itis healthy for both animals to live inthe same stable. They often become so attached to one another that, out of doors, the sheep will not leave the horses as long as they can keep up with them.

Of Danish rule the casual visitor can, of course, say little. He sees clean, wel!- ordered streets, and evidence of con- tinual improvements, sanitary and other- wise; but he cannot help thinking that the great open sewer, crossed by a bridge on the main street down which in the rainy season come avalanches of dead cats, tin cans and other despised articles, might be made less conspicuous and ans- wer its purpose equally as well. He also

s that retic of darker ages, the chain gang on sor-«¢ of the public works, and the pitiful sight of women working with the male convicts; but the unfortunate females themselves seem to care less about it than the spectators, and shoulder their spades and pick-axes with a jaunty air, singing to chain accompaniments. Coxey’s army would fare badly here, for the police, act- ing under orders, have the inconvenient habit of picking up harmless idlers and exiling them to the little island of San Jan, there to tend sheep and cattle. We met a mother, who was weeping and wail- ing and like Rachel, refusing to be com- forted, because her son, aged 14, had been sent to San Jan the day before, merely for preambulating the streets with nothing on but a “euttie sark”’ of less than the regulation length! The “President,” who gets his tithe from pre- siding over the Senate, here combines the three functions of Judge, Prosecutor and Judge of Appeals; and—asin soine parts of our own far West, where to steal a horse isheld a greater crime than to kill a man

theft is punished with much greater severity than murder. “To assist the Governor-General in his arduous duties of governing the colony’’—so the = statuie book says—there is a Colonial Council, partly appointed by the King of Denmark ind partly elected by the inhabitants; so that affairs run smoothly enough, barring occasional trouble over the entrance of some quarantined steamer, or the killing of an animal without permission of the Council. The old fort still quarters a gar- rison, mostly negro troops with Danish officers. I met one of the captains, a fine- looking, blue eyed German, who gallantly tleclared:

Of course, we must visit both the grim old eastles that frown down from their lofty perches upon the peaceful town and narvor. They belonged to noted bucca neers of the seventeenth century, when the port of Charlotte Amelia was celebrat ed as a pirate stronghold, where the sea rovers came to sell their prizes and re- plenish their stores. It is a legend of the island that an Englishman named Fogarty (probably from Cork or Dublin, for all those people are “Englishmen” away from home) purchased the castle of Bluebeard about 70 years ago; and found beneath it, ifter much persistent digging, enough creasure to make him wealthy for a life time. The story goes on to say that he had a charming daughter—‘'Pretty Kathleen Fogarty,” she is called—who had black hair ane eyes of Irish “true blue.” After spending her chiithood in this castle and becoming the belle of the town, she ran away with a penniless clerk of the F iglish Consul, and thereby nearly broke her ambitious father’s heart. She came back years afterwards, no longer “pretty Miss Fogarty,” but gray-haired, sad and de -erted by her scamp of a lover, to be for- given by paterfamilias and end her days i) peaceful retirement. So in this case, at jeast, the pirate’s ill-gotten gains did not seem able to purchase happiness.

The original owner of the other estate, now spoken of as Blackbeard, and used as a bugaboo to frighten refractory children, i¢ said to have deposited his plunder ina éase in the rocks of the hill which the sailors call ‘‘Mizzen Top.” . You may casi- ly find this cave, but it isa question whe- ther the famous pirate ever saw it or not, At any rate, the divining rods with which she old negroes hereabouts search for treasure have failed, so far, to reveal any- thing. But the same cannot be said of all the freebooter’s hidings, fer many an iron chest. filled with Spanish gold of the seventeenth eentury, has been discovered, buried in eayerns or near ancient land-

ynarks. LL

“You are a public servant, in the pub tie’s pay, and at the call of the public. 1 therefore demand a safe passage for my person across this thoroughfare. It is your duty to see that my demands are complied with.”

And the little man expanded his chest with real citizen independence.

The big policeman looked at him for a moment ina quandary, then seeming to solve the problem he said with a wink in his eyes:

\ safe passage you want, is it? Well, begorra, you shall have it.” And before the responsible littie citizen

could divine his intentions, he had picked him up, tucked him under his arm and was dodging between the horses’ heads in a sortie across King street. The little man had not recovered his breath before the bluecoat had dropped him on the opposite sidewalk, and was on a return expedition, zallantly escorting a pretty store girl.

PEARLS OF GREAT PRICE,

The Finest Known Gem, Owned by Prin- cess YVousoupoff, Is Worth &8180,000, The Iman of Muscat possesses a pearl

weighing twelve and a half carats, through

which you can see the daylight: it is worth about $165,000. The one owned by Princess

Yousoupoff is unique for beauty, says the

tientleman’s Magazing. It was sold by

Georgibus of Calais, in 1620, to Philip TV.

of Spain for 80,000 ducats; its present value

is about $180,000. The pope, on his acees sion, became the owner for the time being of a pearl, left by one of his predecessors upon the throne of the vatican, which can not be of less value than $100,000. The Em- press Frederick has a necklace composed of thirty-two pearls, the total value of which has been estimated at 2175,000, Her mother, Queen Victoria, has a necklace of pink pearls valued at $80,000, That of the

Baroness Gustave de Rothschild, made up

of five rows of these precious stones, is val

ued at $200,000, while that of the Baroness

\dolphe de Rothschild is even more costly

still, Both these ladies have given orders

to their jewelers to bring to them any

“pearls of great price’ which may come

into their hands in the way of business;

the wems are usually purchased by one or other of these ladies and added to her necklace.

Good judges are doubtful whether to award the palm to either of the above two or to that of the Empress of Russia, which has two rows of pure white pearls valued at something like 80,000 rubles, but the stones of which are perhaps less beautiful to the eye. The one belonging to the Grand Duchess Marie has six rows, and is snid to have cost $180,000.

Mile. Dosne, a sister of M. Thiers, has a necklace of several rows, which has taken her thirty years to collect, and has cost her upward of 275,000. The Empress of Austria possesses some of the most beauti ful black pearls it is possible to find; her casket, and that of the Czarina of Russia, are, in fact, the most famous in the world for pearls of this color.

Mime. Leonide Leblanc sold her necklace of pearls a year or two ago for nearly $400, 000, but in consequence of certain matters which were whispered about at the time she bought it back. The stones it it grad. uate in size and are exceeding!y beautiful in shape and lustre.

Poor Marksmanship of To-day.

It would seem, therefore, that the floating equipments of naval powers of to day ought to give good accounts of them selves in point of marksmanship if called into action, though, according to Cassier’s Magazine, it would be presumptuo.s to ut dertake to foreshadow possible resuifls If, on the other hand, past experience counts for anything, there would seem to have been a notable decline in accuracy in naval gunnery, growing with successive improvements in naval architecture and naval armament. It was estimated some years ago, from data furnished by target practice at sea, that a heavy. gun must be discharged fifty times to make one effective hit. The old smoothbores were credited with killing’a man by the discharge of the gun’s weight in shot; in other words, three tons of 32-pounder shot were required for the purpose. Actual service test with modern high-power guns, however—guns weighing twelve tons—has, within the past ten or twelve years, shown that it took about sixteen tons of projectiles to accomplish the same thing. It is interest ing to note from what statistics are avail able that the introduction of rifled mus kets into the armies has had * somewhat similar result. Tne old-time muskets, it js said, killed a man by firing at him his own weight in lead bullets, but the modern rifle in the hands of the average soldier, so it has been figured out, does not effect a fatality until it has discharged twice the man’s weight in lead. Both here. as well as in naval shocting, therefore, there has been shown to be an important demand for greater skill and care. Whether this has been met in any measure, future hos;
