How the Crofters Live.
I will describe a typical Idrigil house,
which is occupied by the aged daughter
and three grown-ap grandchildren of a
fisherman named John Macdonald, who
has been dead for many years. The croft
upon which it stands slopes southward
toward the Bay of Uig, and , is one of
some 350 that belong to Major Fraser,
of Kilmuir. It is about two and a half
acres in extent, and. pays a nominal
rental of rather more than £5; a tem-
porary reduction of 25 per cent. off that
sum having, however, been conceded
during the last two or thfee years by
the proprietor. Near the centre of the
croft is a sea of sticky mud; aud amid
the slough are two very small stacks of
corn, each about nine feet high' by six
feet in diameter, carefullythatched, and
covered with old nets to prevent their
being scattered to the winds. Close at
- hand is the house—a building of rough
ammortared stone, measuring perhaps
ten feet by twenty, and very thickly
roofed ; first with " divits " of turf,
then, with a close thatch of heather, and
finally with fragments of coarse netting
weighted with lumps of gray trap. The
door is broken,and will notshat properly;
there is no chimney; and the sole win-
dow, consisting of a single pane of glass,
has an area of not more than three
square feet.
From the doorway, and from a small
hole in the low roof, volumes of peat -
smoke escaped; and when I entered the
hut I could not for several minutes dis-
tinguish anything within, owing to the
dense fumes that rose from a scanty fire
smoldering on the floor in the middle of
the gloomy roam. At last my eyes be-
came accustomed to the semi -darkness
and I was able to make out the forms of
the inmates of the hovel. They sat
huddled together on a low black settle,
warming then selves,and greedily watch-
ing the battered pot, that ,suspended
from an improvised tripod above the fire,
contained a quantity of thin broth, the
main ingredients of which were, as I
afterward discovered, potatoes and fish.
I shared the poor people's meal of broth
and oaten cake, while the smoke curled
upward and hung beneath the roof in an
imperubtrable cloud ; the whole making,
with tho festooned fishing -nets and the
tattered oilskins on the walls, an inter-
ior which Teniers would have delighted
to paint, if there had been any jollity in
the scene. _.
There was no table, but at one end of
the room there was a shaky dresser on
which was arrapgecl a poor display of
cracked crockery and rusty tins. The
inside of the house was divided by means
of rotten partitions about six feet in
height, into three an -rail chambers; one
being the living room, a second the bed-
room, and the third a lumber and store
room. In the bed -room the clothes were
simply old rags and sacking, barely suffi-
cient to cover poor humanity; and the
floor throughout was formed, so far as I
could see, of the hard earth. But this
house of the Macdonalds was a palace in
comparison with some of the huts I visit-
ed elsewhere. One had neither door nor
window. I crawled into it through an
irregular aperture less than three feet
high, and found myself among some
ducks that were picking up scraps from
amid the garbage with which the damp
floor was littered. The sole tenant of
this hovel was. an old woman who had a
hacking cough. In another hut the ram -
water dripped from the broken roof and
flooded the only room in which seven
people sat crouching.
One might reasonably expect to find
that the, people who live in such wretch-
edness are stunted and evil:looking. But
they are not. They are a thiek set, intel-
ligent .race; and some of the girls are
models of buxomness, although before
middle age all the women become with-
ered. They are long-lived too. Their
faults are that they are idle and saturat-
ed with superstition and prejudice. In
only one, out of at least a score of croft-
ers' houses which I entered, did I see
any sign that the inmates regularly de-
voted themselves to remunerative home
employment. In that one, two women
were weaving home -spun tweed, and
capital cloth they made on their awk-
ward loom. I am glad to be able to say
that most of the Skye landlords wear
this tweed when they can get it; but if
there were a wider derriand there would
be a larger supply, and the islanders
would be proportionately benefited.
Until quite recently there were weavers
in almost every township, and the art
might be easily revived. The crofters
can now get cheaper material for them-
selves from Manchester, ahd it is almost
exclusively the richer classes who use
the tweed of the island.—St. James
Gazette.

stalked proudly out of the room.

told the incidents "Billy's was the best

Romance of an Ear of Corn.
It has always been thought that ears
of corn have an even number of rows and
that one with an od_cl number of rows
veoulbe an impossibility. In slavery
i
time this question was disscussed very
thoroughly, and a negro on a.plantation
in Kentucky claimed. that he had seen
ears of corn with Odd numbers of rows.
His rnaeter told him he would give him
his (the negro's) freedom for an ear with
an odd number of rows. .
This was in the early spring, but in
the fall during corn -gathering time the
negro came to his master and presented
a sound ear of corn with thirteen aows.
He got his freedom papers.
A long tinse afterward the old negro
admitted to some- friends that he, had,
in roasting ear time, singled out an ear
with fourteen rows, and then with a
sharp knife, cut out the one row of
grains, bound the ear together', and
knew just where to go and get it when
gathering time came.—Peoria Journal.
t _
Billy's Protest.
An English paper cites an incident
wherein a goat not only resisted his
human tempter, but emphatically vin-
dicated his own principles. " Billy "
'belonged to a regiment, and never was a
goat more attentive to public duty than
was he. In the mess -room he was a
& welcome guest, and received many a
dainty morsel there from the friendly
hands of the men. One night, however,
it happened that Colonel Price, in a
spirit of mischief proposed that the goat
Should be offered a glass of liquor.
Accordingly, he coaxingly held out his
cup, and Billy, after a !suspicious pre-
liminary sniff, quaffed off the contents.
Another and yet another of the nien
offered Billy a drink, ai invitation he
could not think of declintng.
Finally, the large earthen vessel which
held the beer at the head of the table
was placed upon the floor, and Billy was
directed to help himself, which he pro-
ceeded to do with such hearty good -will
that be became helplessly, unmistakably
intoxicated.
The next morning he *as absent from
roll -call, and no one could tempt him to
leave the stable during the entire day.
When the second evening's mess began
without him, the Colonel was requested
to bring the deserter before a court mar-
tial of those who had witnessed his tip-
pling.
It was with difficulty Ithat Billy was
dragged into the room, which he evi-
dently remembered as the scene of his
disgrace. His appearance was greeted
with a cheer, but sadly ohanged were his
looks. His once glossy coat had an un-
kempt appearance, while the'once proud
aud erect head was lowered in shame.
"Come, Billy, take a drink !" said the
sergeant, at the head of the table.
The words seemed torousethe ani-
mal. He lifted his head„ his eye lit up,
his fore hoof beat_ the 'floor. With a
snort, a rush, and a bound; Billy butted
full against the large earthen vessel con-
taining the men's es -ening , allowance of
ale, breaking it into a thousand pieces.

Mexican Christening Cere-
mony.
In one of Mexico's interior towns, at
seven o'clock one evening—an hour when
most American babies are indoors—it
was our pleasure to witness a christen-
ing ceremony in the " Parroquia "
church.
A crowd of beggars, mostly women,
from wearers of black shawls to those of
rags and dirt, congregated around the
entrance and carriages, as is their cus-
tom at christeningseexpecting that the
hearts of the godparents will be softened
and their purses opened wide on this
occasion, sprinkling the new coins gen-
erously.
Having to wait a long time—for to be
on time is not customary in this country
—we had the opportunity of observing
some of the preparations.
Although there is so much ceremony
in the churches here, there is, after all,
but little reverence for the sacredness of
the place or the paraphernalia of their
worship.
Small boys came in carrying candles
three or four feet long,which were taken
from them by men in surplices and
placed in some gilt candlesticks; all this
being done in a careless, irreverent way,
save for the bended knee every time one
of them had occasion to pass the Virgin's
picture.
After much confusion and running
about, the priest, infant, and godparents
arrived.
The priest, a fat, smooth -faced man,
looking well kept and not overworked,
seemed in a hurry to get through with
the business. They are not usually a
hurrying people, "manana" (to -morrow)
being their word on all occasions where
putting off is a possibility.
The godmother, after Much unwind-
ing of the nurse's "reboso" (long mantle
worn by the lower class over the head,
and the long end thrown over the left
shoulder), produced the mite of a baby,
but a few days old.
The priest read the service in Latin,
the small boys and men in surplices
corning in with the amens at the proper
time.
Salt was placed on the child's tongue;
oil on its chest,back,forehead and cheeks.
Then the little thing had cold water
poured on its head, at. which it loudly
protested. Its patience was wearied out
with so much turning and rubbing, but
it still had to endure having its hettd
dried with a Turkish bath towel—rather
a rough first experience of the world,
having one's hair rubbed up the wrong
way with a coarse towel; but [if the
flashing diamonds of the godparents and
the many new silver pieces lavishly
scattered amidst the crowd were precur-
sors of his future, this world's *goods
were to be his abundance.
Upon arriving at the house we were
presented with a pretty card, folded like
a little book, upon one page of which a
gold dollar was fastened, and above it
the names of this mite of humanity. At
this stage of his existence they seemed
more than he could well carry.
But Jose German Fernando Rafael was
all unconscious.
The godparents are not such in name
alone in this country. Many an orphan
finds a home and parents' love with its
godparents.,
A sumptuous supper and plenty of
champagne is the usual winding up of
such an affair.—Christian Union.

The big hats are the best hats in the
world. They are war in winter and a
shade in summer. The Texans are very
particular about the bro d brims. They
will touch nothing wit a brim narrow-
er than three and onealf inches, and
they want often a hat that is five and
one-half inches in widt of brim. The
hats last four or five ears, and some
cowmen have a supersti ion about them
if they have good luck while they own
them, and after they •ave worn them a

have them cleaned, and wear them sev-
