It is a cold morning in February, dfill and chilly. Ont of doors passers-ty hurry along Wrap. ped and miserable looking. Simonne pens early in hér warm little bed, afid as s00u as she opens her eeys she smiles at thé thought of the hap- piness that is in store for her, This is the day on which she has been in- vited to a children's party at the home of her little friend Jeanne, and they are going to have such fun, The night before the dressmaker sent her the dress specially mide for the part. It is a "robe fourreau," in dark green velvet, which mukes her look ever so tall. In a few hours everybody will be admiring her at Jeanne's house: her little friends first, but perhaps also their big brothers. In Simonne's heart Is already awakened the desire to please "ces mesgleurs," the oldest of whont is not yet sixteen years of age, : While her ltile brain is still ex cited at the thought of what the day is destined to bring her, Simonne's mother enter: to give her the usual good-morning iss, She bends over thé bed, puts her ar -munder the frail body, which clings to her with affee- tion, and mother and daughter pass a delightful moment. But eight o'clock strikes. Mouette, levons: nous." You will muse yourself this afternoon, but this morning we must work hard. The French teacher will be hear shortly, Are you quite ready with your les Sons? « Simonne hesitates fo reply. Trying on her new dress last night kept her behind with her Jessons, aud she has not had time to go over lar Srammar again, She hurries, how- ever, and dressing does not take hor long this morning. Five minutes to swallow her chocolite---then there Is A ring at the bell, It i§ mademolsells, Already? And Simonne has not even looked at the second page, which she does not know.at all, She rung to meet her teacher, throws her arms around her neck, and kisses ler.

Her pupils are almost dear to her as if they were her coun children. Simonng knows it well. tie sly little minx. Now she feels is tl moment to admit that she does know her lessons very well. M 'moiselle 'does pot scold her, but im. proves the oceasion to give her some wise council. Mademolselle does not like vain and coquettish little girls, and thedr beautiful dresses leave hor absolutly indifferent, but she draws a pleasing portrait of simple good-hearted chil dren, and makes it so aitractive that little Simotine feels & wee bit ashamed Of the sentiments ihat agitated lier shortly before. Two o'clock! If anything fieeded to add to Simonne's bappine it is provided in the auto that whi her to Jeanne's house, whe all the other children hav and are gathered in the 1 corner, seated by a little ta "Vite, wore @, whira Ieaves a picture book, ave a tittle boy and J his_ sister who.seem out or Prada these surroundings. The bov is thir teen years of age, hig sister ole ven or twelve. No ong takes any notice of them, Simonue, asks Jeanne who they 'are. "Oh," replied Jeanne, "they are the children of a post-misiress mamma knows. She invited them so tha! they might have an opportunfty of amusing themselves--a thing that does not happen often. But I am sure they will be rather bored heres for no one knows them. Have you noticed the girl's dress. It must have heen her mother who made it; it is not elegant. And anyone can see that the boy's sult is ready-made." Simonne stood thinking for a while. These little ones "whom no one knew" interested her, She re- membered what mademoiselie had told: her in the morning, and found that they resemabled in an astonish. ing manner-the portrait of the little ones whose greatest charm was their simplicity. Her heart was stirred. It Was trye that they were not very fashionably dressed, but a BEnpsque movement sent her to their aide, Might she sit by them and look at the pletures. In a few moments all three were chattering away as if they had known each other for years, Their laughter soon brought the other children around them. They joined 'in the games they organized aud uring the whole afternoon they amused themselves with a heartiness (iat made Simonne very pleased. .

News has just come that still an- oihier explorer has met his fate sn Tiburon Island. His name is Wayne, and he is said to have been a cléver mining engineer. | . Wayne went across to Tiburon in October last, and pot a trace hag since been seen of him. Nor is it likely. that his fate will ever be known. : i | He was warned of the 'dangers that were pefore him. In spite of | offers of double pay, he- could net | get a soul to accompany him. he crossed Hell's Passage alone-- and Hke all others who have preced- ed, him---bas never come back. JFiburon is no lonely island in sav- age Melanesia. It lies in the Gult of California, separated from the Mexican mainland by only a few wiles of salt water. : Yet it remains one of the world's black spots. It has never yet been explored by white men. Its only in- habitants are a tribe of Indians who, armed with bows and arrows, dipped in. some unknown but deadly poison, shoot down all who try to land. The "expedition of 1879 'vanished into the interior and was never seen again, and the same fate befell the party headed by Professor Millies in 1504. 4 There is only one other island in So} all the world which can mateh Ti- buron, and that is Malayta in the Solomons: Match it, that is, in the way of savagery. And even in Malayta there are white men on the coast. Valuable plantation of cocoanuts and other tropical produce have been planted on the shores of Mglay- ta, but inland is a mountainous coun- try covered with thick bush and ins habited by fierce tribes of cannibals.

Other islands there are which are as 'impregnable as Tiburon and Malayta, but for different reasons. Oné such is Tromelin, a lonely spot of land 20 miles north of Mauritius. It is gurrounded by a terrific rampart of coral which is fully 150 yards wide." A mile out on any side of the island the sea is from 10,000 to 12,- 000 feet deep. The surf, which al« ways breaks on the rocky shore of this submarine mountain top, makes landing practically impossible, Yet it was here that, in 1761, a French transport was wrecked, and 110 survivors+out of 800 aboard, got ashore alive. Of these, seven, all black women, were rescued in the year 1776, having by some amazing miraele kept life in themselves for a space of fifteen years, with no food but shell-fish and no drink but brack- ish water, In the year 1607 that famous navigator, Henry Hudson, reported the existence of a rocky island 200 miles east of Greenland. It was named Jan Mayen. That island was never seen again until the year 1X60, when a party of English people; among whom was Lord Dufferin, caught a glimpse of it. Then it vanished for another fifty ¥ears, to be seen once more in July, 1910, by the tourists aboard the YAENt ""Océand." No one has ever set foot on Jan Mayen. No one is ever likely to, for no navigator would willingly ap- proach it, It is the centre of the thickest fogs. on the surface of {his planet, and from one year's end to another usually remains totally in- visible, Bouvet Island, in the Antarctic, is almost equally inaccessible, It is the summit of a dead volcano, which rises steeply from immensely deep water, and it has only been sighted twice since its discovery in 1720.

Rats are not entirely unknown as a food in England. Not so very long ALO rat pies were comparatively com- mon in Nottinghamshire, and one {nn near the county town made a feature of periodical rat suppers and did very well out of it. 'And rats have been proved to have a medicinal value, for one Arctic explorer has recorded that those of his crew who were Bot too fastidious to eat of the good rat soup Set before them by the eook enjoyed an fmmunity from scurvy, when all the abstainers from rats were sirick- en down, To Abolish the Veil. A strong mavement is on foot. in Cairo, Egypt, for thie emancipation of the Moslem woman and the dis carding of the traditional "veil."
