" The streets are nearly all paved with Belgian blocks, and sparkling water rushes down the middle of each In the gutter, toward which the pavement elopes. - Everybody live out of doors. The harbor is skirted by a wide boulevard, shaded by palm trees and furnished with iron seats, where the populace gather in the evening and chatter like magpies. During the day the women ait in the gardens and at night sleep in hammocks under the verandas, except in the rainy season, when they keep" their houses. There is no glass in the windows and not a chimney in the place. All the cooking k done in char coal stovea, or upon shelves at stone like blacksmith's forge. There are some fine churches, and one old cathedral that is worth a visit. The people are mostly Catholics, but there is a large colony 01 Jews engaged in banking and trade. The town of Port de France, which was known as Port Koyal during the time of the empire, is the aeat of the government, where the lieutenant governor lives and commands a garrison of three hundred or four hundred col ored soldiers. It is about twenty miles from 8t Pierre and has ten thousand inhabitants, but the latter .place is the commercial capital and the fashionable residence. The blacks and whites live together as brothers and sisters of the common family, often intermarrying. Many of the colored . families .are wealthy and aristocratic and tend their children abroad to be educated. The upper classes wear the latest French fashions and live with consider able comfort, but the colored women of the common class, as elsewhere in the tropics, are clad in a single garment of cotton, without any particular design of concealing or exposing their anatomy. They load themselves with a large amount of jewelry of peculiar designs, . and on Sunday and feast days get them selves up in a most elaborate and out landish manner, men and women both rivaling the plumage of the birds in the mvriad colore the; assume. There are no poor, no almshouses, no asylum for the indigent. before he eot to the lockup, and with out anyone putting a hand on him. It hanoened this way: A detective who was often detailed to gatherings, wed dings, the houses of parliament, West minster abbey, and otnor puduc places, often ran across a wiry little man who he discovered had no business where he was teen, and did nothing for a living. "Coincidental with the man's visits to crowded places were complaints of lar cenies of articles that were carried in the Dockets of tails of coats, and espe cially silk handkerchiefs. The detectives suspected the little wiry man, hut he ev idently had more than one confederate to pass what was stolen so as to be clean,' for the officer who was watch ing him, and who was nettled at re proof from his superiors lor ms negli gence in not discovering the pickpock et, had him arrested twice by other of ficers and 'shaken down' without find ing anv stolen goods in his possession. "Rfcranm officers were used to make the arrests in order that the suspected man might not become familiar with the nrincinal detective's face, as he de termined to get him 'by hook or by crook.' Now I don't mean this for a pun, but it came out that way. The de tective belonged to one of the many fishing clubs that abound in London, and was familiar with tacue. "Procuring four dozen unsneued hooks of the size and strength used here for blacklist, some flax thread and a needle, he Hissed an afternoon in turn- Ins-the taU-pockets of an old-fashioned frock coat into a thiel-trap. me noons were ringed and With the. needle were tewed bent out just inside the pocket, permitting a hand to enter, but prevent ing its fithdrawal. He knew of a book sale that would be largely attended at the east endtif the Strand and made np carefully for it, so that when he left home he was a pleasant-faced old gobe- mouche. "At the book sale he took care to be as vacuous and unmindful of his sur roundings as possible, but noted the presence of the suspect and waited calmly for a bite. It came. There was a tuir at his coat and a bitter oath, and he knew that his man's hand was seized by the hooks, and that he would not venture to risk the agony that tearing away forcibly would inflict. So he said quietly: 'If you follow me our surgeon will relieve you,' and attempted to walk to Scotland Yard, half a mile away, the trapped thief following with his hand '8- Sarsaparilla and nervousness will disappear.

Martinique has a population of one hundred and fifty thousand, of whom twelve thousand, are white, thirty thousand of mixed blood,,and the remainder colored.

There ere no carriages or carts. but the women and donkeys are. .the common carriers. .:- 1 There is a good opera house where performances are often given by local talent and once in awhile an opera or a play by a company from France. One of the most beautiful parks in the world is known as the Place Bertin, when there is a magnificent fountain of bronze, a most graceful water-nymph, fourteen feet high, bearing upon her head a basket, from the rim of which ietsof water flow. '. In August this fountain exhibits what to strangers is a most amazing pnenom enon, spouting myriads of little fishes about as large as whitebait with bodies as transparent as crystal. These-are called titire and come from the moun tain streams with which the fountain is fed. In the month of August they come from the sea and are caught by the pipes that feed the fountain. The people expecting them come down with baskets, scoop them up, and taking them home, fry them in oil; they make delicious morsels. Martinique was the birthplace of Empress Josephine, whose family still landed the man safely in the detective's office. He was held by four of the hooks and the barbs had to be cut off before thev were extracted. The thief con fessed and went to prison for a short term, but the Scotland Yard authorities l-frowned on the detective's method end prohibited any further experiments of .the sort for fear the .newspapers would denounce the expedient as cruel, nut a deadlier trap could not be baited for a clyfaker.'": - " - , , JAPANESE- PIPE!!. gmiWrii -Has Been Bedimed to a Vuu . , Ait la the Ulana Empire.

WU1 Terns A writer in the New England Parm er makes the following interesting comments concerning the power of will orer circumstances. Last summer I chanced to find an -old school-book which probably had never been opened since its owner; a girl student, died forty years ago. The book wss filled with loose sheets of paper, coreredwith handwriting, uniform and .beautiful.

' gome difficult 'mathematical problems .were also -worked out, end the whole wss the work of an earnest student My conclusion was, ss I ,rev . erently laid aside the book, that will is stronger than circumstances.
