MAGDALEN ISLANDS.
Five Month« a Yoar They Are leolsted
by Wild, Raging 8eaa
Out in the center of the gulf of
St. Lawrence, where the ocean
waves dash over them for five
months o f the year to fiercely as to
dose all communication with the
mainland except by cable, lie the
Magdalen islands. Nine out o f ev­
ery ten Canadians have never even
heard o f them, and the other one
remembers dimly that he encoun­
tered the name at school in the list
o f the Canadian islands. Nine out
o f ten o f the islanders themselves
have never been farther from their
birthplace than the trips to the fish­
ing grounds, and the tenth has
gone no farther than Pictou or on
a long to be remembered trip as far
ts Halifax or Quebec.
Seventy mile* to the southwest
ties Prince Edward Island. Cape
Breton is the same distance south­
east. Newfoundland’s rough coast
faces them a hundred miles east.
From away to the north the wild
waves crash down unopposed from
the forbidding shores o f Labrador,
300 miles distant.
During hut five months in the
sar, and then only twice a week,
there any opportunity for the
islander to see the outside world.
For th« remainder the sea runs
with a consistent wildness known
only to this region, and the hun­
dred miles or more of coast line
show the wrecks that have marked
with failure the puny attempts of
■ m i to combat the elements.
In the midst o f all this fierceness
o f nature live 7,000 French Acadi-
ans and l,o00 English in a quaint­
ness and quietness of life that are
truly remarkable. And year by
the U0l»m1aMon in crea se s nut I
S
even now the land is overcrowded
with a people reluctant to obey th«
do-Rinds of nature and get out intc
the wider wmrld.
There are thirteen islands in all,
nine of which are connected at low
tide by a treacherous beach, which
it is possible to drive over with the
guidance of one who knows the
quicksands and tides. Fifty-three
; miles from north to south make« an
island of respectable sise. Then,
farther north, lies Byron island, a
summer fishing station leased and
peopled hv a merchant on the main
islands, hut almost deserted in win-
ter. Ten miles still farther is the
famors F.ird rock, well known by
ren*ft'Tflen to naturalists, watched

acres of rock, perched 125 feet
shove the water, approached only
in the calmest weather and mounted
by a bucket worked with a windlass
above— on this isolated island these
four people live from beginning to
end of the year, seeing no other hu­
man beings save the crew o f the
supply boat on its two visits a year.

Two Expensive Banquets.
The costliest meal ever served,
according to history, was a «upper
given by Aelius Yerus, one o f the
most lavish of all the Romans of
the latter days, to a dosen guests.
The cost was 6,000 sestertia, which
would amount to $242,500. A cele­
brated feast given by Vitellius, a
Roman emperor of those daya, to
his brother Lucius coat a little more
than $200,000. Suetonius says tl>»t
the banquet consisted of 9,000 dif­
ferent dishes of fish and 7,000 dif­
ferent fowls, besides other 'tonnes.
