000, the purehaeer being Mr. Stewart
MacKenzie. But nineteen years later it
passed finally out of the hands of the
family who had held it for close on 234
years; for in 1844 Lewis was sold to Mr.
(afterwards air) Sutherland Matheson,
of the family of Achany and Shiners in
Sutherlandshire, for the sum of 4190,-
Elir James died on the last day of
ia without issue, and on the death of
his widow. in virtue of the entail it de-
volved upon Sir James' nephew, Mr. Don-
ald Matheson, wlio in July, 180D, handed
over the property to his son, Major Dun-
ean. Matheson, the present proprietor.
The merchants of Stornoway were a
most prosperous body in the first quar-
ter of the nineteenth century. They
monopolized, the fishing trade by means
of the truelcsystem, but after the fail-
ure of the kelp the proprietor assumed
• the supervision of the industry; and it
ia interesting to note that Mr. Stewart -
MacKenzie was the first to send a cargo
of fresh fish to the London market.
According to MacKenzie, the author of
the histeny of the Outer Hebrides, illicit
distilling was carried on openly in Lewis
aa late as 1827, it being no uncommon
thing for even the Exciee officer e to be
asked, when treated to a "dram," if they
e preferred ililoli" or "Gros," both of
which farms were celebrated for their
stills. Distilleries' were erected in the
island to counteract the illicit traffic,
which, however, died hard.
The great commercial development of
Stornoway, however, WW1 almost entire-
ly due to the enterprise of Sir James
Matheson, who expended enormous sums
on improvements and in the establish-
ment of steam communication with the
mainland. Apart from the halo of ro-
mance east upon it by modern novelists,
visitors are surprised to find such a.
flourishing place in a corner so remote.
'Mt is the head port not only of all the
creeks and harbors of the Outer Heb-
rides, but also those of Skye and Mull.
During the period of the herring fishing
the animated sight of some 500 boats
leaving the harbor of an evening may be
seen, Stornoway being the centre of the
. Scottish fishery districts. Before the'
days of the energetic Sir James, little
more than a narrow belt along the shore
was unaer cultivation, the rest being a
• dismal expanse of moor and bog. Large
tracts were reclahned under the new
'.. laird, including that part on whit%
, stands Stornoway Castle, grounds whieb
, are so beautifully laid off as to com-
pare favorably, with any in Setoland.
The town is supposed to have derived its
name from the point of lana on which
it is situated. "Stron" in the language
signifies "Nose"; "Stron-aibaigh," three -
fore, tile nose of the bay.
Tourists who have not had time to
call at Stella or Iona usually make an
effort to see the rocky chambers of Stor-
noway, three of which aro excellent, One
of these caves has two apartments, with
vaulted roof and finely sanded floor. The
sides of the chambers are beautifully
oed closely studded with small mussels,
: pldeh reflect a variety of colors, in the
elear day, to the eye of the observer.
The place, however, is only aecessible at
spring tides. The sell cave, on the other
hand, is the most remarkable on the
island. It is about a furlong in length
. from the entrance to the -high-water
! mark in the interior. It terminates in a
spacious semi-eircle, irregularly arched,

SHORT WORK. "'OP A COLD.
Treatment To -day Not Include
' Goose Grease and Flannel.
Maeda medico. has advanced in 'noth-
ing of late years so much as in the treat-
ment of colds.
Time was when even the most dignified
gentleman in the world Who was suffer-
ing from this aihnent had to submit to
having lus stately nose rubbed with
goose grease,. •
Now, there is no emollient more dis-
agreeable then goose grease, which may
be the reason it was once considered so
efficacious. At all events, it was in
other days placed in the category of
things which could not be avoided, like
death and taxes.
In the course of a long life everyone at
some time• came to the place vshere
goose greased he had to be, willy-nilly.
Time was also when the outtvard and
visible sign ot en inward sore throat was
a strip of red flannel bound tightly about
the aching part.
Now, the spectacle of a learned and
dignified gentleman with a line of red
showing above his linen was hardly edi-
fying, and there were frequent struggles
against it -but they were ever in vein.
The f the • y eve in
the efficeey of red flannel. Without
that flannel the sore throat might de-
velop into diplitheila, the diliptheria
would certainly develop into consump-
tion and the consumption into a grave.
It was a. cough that carried him off,
t was a coffin they carried him off in,
as the classic rhyme has it.
Besides goose grease and red flannel
here were such remedies as rubbings
vith turpentine and anointing with cant-.
PhOmn'e rould tell when it person had a
ohl while he was yet half a mile away,
nd it wits very disagreeable even for the
meet loving friends.
They do things better now. No house-
iold boastesany goose grease, nor would
he mother of a family know where to
rooure some, no matter how desperately
t were needed.
Bed flannel ie in disgrace. The physie
ians of the present day say that wearing
it melees the throat delicate.
Even the merry chest protector is
abandoned. There are few rubbinga
with turpentine. The alt' is no longer
camphor scented.
When a person evolves a cold from his
system in this day and age the family
doctor is called and looks him over care-
fully. "Where did you encounter this
germ?" he Asks.
