The Isle orshakpcnre3 Tempest
Bermuda Is said to be Island of Shak
speares Tempest Wlien the English
discovered it they found it inhabited
by hogs The strange noises which
mariners heard coming from it and
which they did not know were produc
ed by hogs caused them to say that it
was haunted and to report weird
things of it The houses are all built of
coraline rock When a man wants to
build a house lie cuts his planir out of
his ground and builds away If he
wants a plank for anything he goes to
the side of his yard and cuts out a slab
He seems to think very little about how
the hole left is going to look There are
big and little quarnes all about In
Hamilton which is the capital One
hundred barrels of good British gun
powder went from Bermuda to Boston
in 177G It was sent in response to a
letter from General Washington who
emphasized the advantages wbioh
might accrue from commercial rela
tions between Bermuda and the colo
nies and suggested that these relations
could be further strengthened by time
ly assistance in tire way of ammunition
Great Britain kept then as now large
military stores at Bermuda It was
whispered at the time that Bermuda
thought of casting her fortunes witli
the colonies However that may have
been she is loyal enough now to the
British flag It is a pretty thought that
she now sends us Easter lilies where
once she sent us gunpowder Raising
Easter lilies for the New York market
is a favorite industry in Bermuda
A Royal Wardrobe
Marie Antoinette as Dauphine is
the title of an article in the Century by
Miss Anna L Bicknell who says
The Dauphine was allowed a sum of
120000 livres for her dress alone but
she never interfered in any way and
everything was decided without con
sulting her by the dame datour who
ordered what was necessary according
to her own appreciation and settled the
bills of the tradesmen At the end of
the year she presented incomprehensi
ble accounts which the Dauphine was
required to approve with the result
that her expenses greatly exceeded the
allotted sum through no fault of hers
Mercy was called to the rescue and dis
covered the most absurd extravagance
For instance three ells of ribbon to tie
the powdering gown of the Dauphine
were put down daily also several ells
of silk daily to cover the basket in
which her gloves and fan were deposit
ed with many other items of the same
kind noted by Mercy in solemn repro
bation With all tnis waste the ar
rangements about her were strangely
deficient in comfort

Agent Detroit Mich
JJear Sir We have just returned
rrom the West and were exceedingly
well pleased with the country We are
goiug bai k to take up our homesteads
in early spriug We received 35 per
month and board working for farmers
and the board was the best we ever had
the beef and mutton especially were
excellent The tine Havor is owing to
the tine grasses which the cattle and
sheep feed upon The people are very
hospitable and treat their hired help
with much kindness
The grain is much Heavier than here
wheat being 2 lbs to the bushel oats
4S lbs and barley often 55 lbs
Any man virli a good team and money
enough to buy pin visions and seed tot
six months can become rich there in
live years Many people who arrived
l here live years ago with little or noth
ing are well oil now One man I met
held his wheat from last 3ear and was
offered H0U0 for this years crop and
what he had held over from last year
and is holding it at 100 per bushel
We are going back in the spring to work
for this same farmer until seeding af
ter which we will homestead between
seeding aud harvest We think we will
settle on the Manitoba and Northwest
ern Railroad
You can refer any one to us for this
part or the country while we are here
and we will cheerfully answer any
questions which anyone may wish to
ask Yours truly

Dear Friends nl Saginaw Those de

will do well In lake our advice and ex
amine the land in the neighborhood of
Alameda as we know I hat everyone
who sees this land will he agreeably
surprised Hefore seeing this land we
were partly in iloubl as to moving here
but after looking it over we at once de
cided to make our home here and we
beg those of our friends who are desir
ous of securing farms not to let this
chance slip by as the soil is of the best
and the water cannot be excelled The
Jliiehl w ieal we ever ww is also raised
here
We shall return home in haste
straighten out our affairs and move

Mr M V Mel nnes Chief Colonization

Dear Sir We are pleased to state tG
you that we have found the country in
the vicinity of Alameda fully up tc
what you and Mr Keller had represent
ed it to be It is in fact an ideal location
for mixed fanning The soil is the best
we ever saw and as the farmers were
all busy at threshing we had an excel
lent chance to see its productive qual
ity which cannot be surpassed any
where The cattle could not be in bet
ter condition We saw two-year-old
steers equal to three-year-old raised in
most places and these as all others
are about Alameda were fed on native
hay in winter and herded in summer
As we had previous to this visited the
Northwestern States in behalf of a
large number of farmers to locate suit
able land for mixed farming we are
now in a position to say that the Ala
meda district of Western Canada sur
passes them all The country is equal
to that about Thuringen in Germany
We were rather sceptic before starting
and our intentions to settle in spring if
we were suited but we have now de
cided to move at once that is as early
this fall as we possibly can We left
Mr Riedel at Alameda and take back
his report and we will take his family
and effects with us when we go
lours sincerely

Franking betters
The privilege granted to Senators and
Representativesat Washington of send
ing letters and other matter free may
be curtailed or abolished altogether It
is difficult to properly restrict it so long
as there are so many dishonest persons
in the world who will abuse all privi
leges The system of franking letters
originated in 1G60 in England and the
privilege was granted to members of
Parliament It was so much abused
that in 1763 a Commission of Inquiry
was opened This reported that in the
mail sent free by post were fifteen
couples of hounds two maid servants
going as laundresses Doctor Crichton
carrying with him a cow two bales of
stockings and a deal case with four
flitches of bacon Notwithstanding
the exposure of fraud the privilege con
tinued to be abused In the beginning
of this century the needy members of
Parliament were accustomed to sell
their signatures The practice was
greatly restricted in 1837 and finally
in 1840 it was entirely abolished A
report from a committee of inquiry ap
pointed by our representatives might
furnish us with ludicrous examples of
the abuse of the franking privilege and
also food for thought which might in
uie near future create a public senti
ment against it leading to its abolish
ment

PRONUNCIATION
Cbaractcri8tico o English and Anicr
icana on the Continent of Europe
The pronunciation which I have
found most surely characteristic ot an
English man or woman at least within
100 miles of London is the incapacity
to give a straightforward and open
sound to the letter o No one says
Oh oftener or can enunciate it less-
it has always a prolonged sidelon
note and comes forth Aeow at last
I heard one day a young salesman in a
large shop remark to his companion
Naow I must go raound and see if
Braown is daown It Is a diphthon
gal sound which was heard though
more roughly among New England
rustics In my boyhood and is given by
Lowell in his Biglow Papers and a
little of it lingers among educated peo
ple in Philadelphia which is as I have
always maintained our most English
city But what impressed it most up
on my mind in this case was the fact
that on my repeating the pronuncia
tion to several highly educated English
people they declared that there was
nothing peculiar about it and that it
was the proper way Meeting after
wards in the Wessex region of En
gland an eminent novelist who has
made its dialect classic he recognized
entirely my imitation of the sound anu
said that it was not heard in that part
of England where we then were Not
merely in this respect but in others
this distinguished writer himself might
travel through America without being
taken for an Englishman as individual
Americans are indeed often taken at
first for Englishmen in England
What leads even these to be recog
nized sooner or later is not a differ
ence in the pronunciation of single
wordst but in the cadence of the sen
tence or rather in the absence of such
cadence It Is a fact never yet ex
plained that while Americans are far
more eager more vivacious and more
quick witted than their English cous
ins they should utter what they say
in a far more level and expressionless
tone An Englishman puts more ca
dence more up-and-down into an in
quiry what oclock it is than an Ameri
can would usually put into the an
nouncement that a President was as
sassinated I do not see how anyone
can be chiefly with English people for
a time and then come back among
Americans as in a hotel on the conti
nent without observing this and not
always pleasurably It gives a color
less tone to the very people who care
most for color and novelty in their
lives It offers an extreme in both
cases I think and here again one ob
serves that in the best educated people
there is the least difference in this mat
ter Probably in English pronuncia
tion and intonation as in English
spelling there lies somewhere in the
future a better standard than either na
tion can now be said to possess

Utilizlnj the Suns Heat
A French scientist calculates that in
an average day the sun will pour ou
two and a half acres of ground heat
which might be turned into energy
equal to the muscle power of 415 t
horses Mr Mouchot believed that this
heat might be utilized and made fo do
the work now done by steam and elec
tricity lie found that by condensing
the heat playing on less than a yard
and a half of ground he could boil two
pints of water By arresting sunshine
and condensing it small steam engines
have been operated successfully in
Paris but nothing has yet been done
to realize practically the great hopes of
revolutionizing civilization by using di
rectly the enormous power wheh
comes to us daily from the sun This
power is calculated at that of 21G000
000000 horses and a thousandth part
of 1 per cent of it would run all the
factories the world will ever need
