From this smaller island, we went

Grand Canary. The Canary birds of

these islands because they originated

From the Grand Canary Island we
proceeded to [taker, West Africa.
Here we found an entirely different
country from that, of the Canary Is-
land? and that visited by us previous-
ly. The natives of this port are most-
ly Mohammedans.
It being a Freeh port, naturally
there would be found some French
(tons. The dress of the men of
this particular part of Africa is very
interesting, being that of white robes,
feeing them working, loading and
Unloading th< ships, is quite a eon-

working in overalls.
In my visit to this port, our ship
remained in port for about two days
while cargo was being loaded and un-

the different parts of the town. It I
Indeed it is a great error for par-
ents to think that they have no time
to provide their children with plenty
amusements and pleasant surround-
ings; that they must spend all their
efforts on what has a “cash value”-
being narrow-minded, or near-sighted,
they do not perceive that an attrac-
tive home has a very decided cash
value.
I think that one reason of the rest-
less haste to leave the farm is often
owing to a neglect to make the farm
and the farm-house attractive. So
many farmsteads have a drab, des-
olate look. No lawns, whereupon the
children can enjoy a game of croquet,
or tennis, a neglect of a little in-
genuity in making a pretty porch and
fence for the hous<-front, and keep-
in-* the rooms cheerful and orderlv. so
that the children may have pleasure
in inviting their friends to spend the
evening together. All these things
contribute to the spirit of dissatisfac-
tion which causes young eyes to pine
for more attractive surroundings.
Among my acquaintances there is
a couple, who after they were mar-
ried moved on a farm. I used to
think it was the barest looking place
