Hven the coarse grass pf the island” grows in. ‘agdifferentmanner from that of-the It does not bear seed, but shoots up ‘from roots: which run along under the sand. -During the winter the sand is blown over the grass and buries i sometimes three or-four feet deep, but the haréy blades grow up next’ segson, as if the island sands had protected them from ‘the cold of winter in order to make them all the stronger. ~ “The island: itself is fighting for self preservation. It seems as if it drew ships into ite fatal embrace as rallying points for its loose and shifting sand, . thus to protect itself by,a bulwark of wrecks against antihilation by the sea. Tradition says that when Sable island was discovergs by: Cabot in’ 1447 it was 80 miles long and 10 miles wide: . In 1802, when.a rescue station was established there, it was only 40 miles long. moré than 20 miles in length, and in width it Is only a mile at its widest. Within 28 years the western end lost seven miles. Shoals over which ‘the ocean now*surges are pointed out as former sites of lighthouses. One of these was so swiftly undermined by the sea that it had to be abandoned with the greatest precipitation. The spot where once stood the superintendent’s house is now under two fathoms of water. im “The island, rapidly diminishing at its western’ end, is slightly gaining at its eastern, Slowly; tke @ ship dragging its anchor, it is moving eastward. , Will it ever reach the edge of the stand tottering on the brink of ibyss till it receives tts coup de ig wpe plange over the submarine bank forever into the depths? Unfortunately its end will probably be less dramatic. There is good ground for believing that this gray sand bar will slowly wear away it becomes another submerged sh ded to an ambuscade already some. 60 miles in length, for a line of breakers extenda 16 miles from one end of the island and ‘. 28 miles from the other. “In the space of a single year Sable island. claimed: more than 200 lives. In fact, so many wrecks line the shoals of this ocean graveyard that the new pile up on the old, Ifke bodies heaped in one ditch. The Crofton Hall, an iron sailing ship wrecked a few years onthe northeast bar, broke in two drifted together again, and the islanders suppose that she struck crosswise upon an old submerged. wreck and is settling over it, which accounts for the two parts coming together. Nor is the island satisfied with the awful tribute. which it exacts from the living. The gamé informant who writes me about the Crofton Hall adds that the bark John McLeod, which was wrecked off Devil’s island at the entrance to’ Hallfax harbor, drifted ashore on Sable island bottom up, a wreck of a wreck! “One of the grimmest legends of Sablé island dates from the wreck of the Amelia, and there is enough evidence of truth connectéd with it to show what bloody deeds were added on that occasion to the terrors of shipwreck. Captain Torrens, who commanded the gunboat which was dispatched to Sable island after the wreck of the Amelia, was one of the survivors of the second disaster. A passenger on the lost transport was Lady Copeland, on her way to join her husband. The captain of the gunboat, had been told that. she wore on her forefinger a ring of pecuifar artifice. “The story has it that Captain Torrens, wandering over the island’ one was attracted by the piteous whining of his.dog in front of a small, open shelter known to. have existed at that time,‘ but long since toppled to pieces. Approaching the shelter, he was startled to see the figure of a woman all in white and holding toward him the bleeding stump of a forefinger. While he was . gazing at the apparition it rose, silently glided past him and dived into } the sea. But time and again wera . apts

That worthy picked it up and, with the casual remark, ‘Bill, you’ve dropped Something,’ handed it back to its owner. Bill didn’t faint, but it is only owing to the ‘superior burst of speed developed by his-partner that he is not idoing time for homicide.”’—New York Tribune. What vosépn was. The Sunday school teacher had been telling the class about Joseph, particu. larly with reference to his coat of} many. colors and how. his father re-} ‘warded him for being a good boy, for J ‘she said, told his father whenever he caught any of his brothers in the act of doing wrong. “Can any little boy or girl tell me what Joseph was?” thé teaclier asked, . hoping that.some of them had caught the idea that he was Jacob’s favorite, . “. know,” one of the little girls said, holding up ber hand. “What was he?” “A tattletale!”? was the reply.—Baltimore News. __» he Grenade Throwers, The grenadiers, the senior of British regiments. which compose the brigade of guards, got its name from the fact that toward the end of the eighteenth century the men were armed with hand» grenades to throw among the enemy. They had to be in the front of the fighting line; hence they gained a reputation for bravery and the name of the “grenadiers.” The badge of the regiment is still a hand grenade spouting flames, though that dead\y e of war has long since been superseded. —Scottish-American.

Many stories, mostly fabrications, have been told about long, diffuse telegraphic messages sent by women, as it the feminine mind were incapable of éxpressing itaelf concisely. How ‘false and slanderous such an fmpression {!s is well shown by an fncident reported by a contemporary: A gentleman went to Paris on businéss: As he went away he said something to bis wife about buying her a new dress.“ Just before starting homeward he tele. graphed to his wife, “Which sball } bring you, 4 @iamond ring or @ silt dress?” The reply was concise and explicit— one word, “Both.” How It Waa.
