'A LOVELY ARCHIPELAGO.
StUB FAffJS OP XNTKBE3T ABOUT
TUB BBEMTJDA ISLANDS.
Their Geographical Sit nation, Pop-'
mlatloii. Government and Pro
ducts A Delighifal Climate.
These islands were also called 3om
mers' Isles, and were named respectively
from Burmudez, a Spaniard, who first
sighted them in 1527, and from Sir
George Sommers, an Englishman, whose
shipwreck there in 1609 was the imme
diate occasion of their being colonized
from Virginia.
This low and lovely archipelago is a
mere group of sparkling specks -of rock
and reef, with a thin covering of earth
here and there, surrounded by a wild
waste of surging sea.
Though the group comprises more
than three hundred islets, yet it contains
only 12,000 acres, or about forty-seven
square miles, in all, the whole occupy
ing a space of about twenty miles in
length by little more than six wiles in
breadth.
The four principal islands are St.
George's, Bermuda, Somerset and Ire
land. Among the minor islands St.
David, Cooper, Smith, Long Bird and
Nonsuch form numerous picturesque
creeks and bays ot considerable size aud
Xepth, such as the Great Sound, Castle
Harbor, Harrington Sound and others.
Their elevation is trifling, the highest
land scarcely attaining the altitude of 500
feet above the level.
In aspect they are similar to the West
Indian groups except that they remind
the voyager, by their proximity, of the
lake scenery of North America. They
are geographically situated in latitude 30
degrees and 20 minutes north, and longi
tude 61 degrees and 50 miuutes west,
and are about COO miles cast from the
coast of South Carolina.
Their population is about equally of
blacks and whites, and amounts to fifteen
or twenty thousand. The condition of
the people have oeen greatly improved
by multiplied educational facilities and
the establishment of friendly and bene
ficial societies, which have served to pro
mote the welfaro ot the blacks since
their emancipation.
The harbor of St. George's is large
enough to contain the whole British.
Navy, but it is extremely difficulty ol in
gress and egress in consequence of its
contracted entrance. The principal
island, or mainland, as it is called, is
about twenty miles in length, but it
rarely exceeds one and a half in width.
In the centre of the island, and on the
north side of a beautiful bay, is the town
of Hamilton, which is now the scat of
government.
The only places fortified are Ireland
and St. George's Islands, where large
forts have been built, which render the ,
islands almost impregnable. j
At the former of these is the navai i
dockyard, off of which there is good an- I
choTage and moorings laid down for tif- ;
teen or twenty ships of war, though the ;
breakwater is extensive enough to con
tain a large fleet of tbe lice.
With the exception of two or three
small dctachmeuts, the chief military ;
force is stationed at St. George's.
The principal exports from the Ber
mudas are arrowroot, potatoes, onions,
palmetto and straw hats, iu producing
which the people excel.
The trading companies own several
hundred small vessels, which are chiefly
employed in the trade between the north
ern colonies and the West Indies. The
whale fishery oil the islands employs
I some of the people, and might be proiit-
i i
aoiy carrieu uu wilu suimiuio r.aptuii.
The waters about the islands and reefs
abound in an endless variety of fish, but
scarcely any are at the present time cured
for exportation. Cattle and sheep are
plentiful, and large quantities of poultry
are raised to supply the numerous ships
that call at these islands. All the or
dinary products of tropical climates,
both animal and vegetable, are produced
in abundance. The fruits aie varied and
excellent. The Bermuda arrowroot ha".
a world-wide celebrity, and is fully
equal to that which is brought from the
East Indies.
Cassava, yams and maize ure grown,
but only for home consumption ; sugar
cane, coffee and cotton succeed well, but
are little cultivated ; cocoa and an in
ferior kind of indigo are indigenous.
The Bermudas possess a most delight
ful climate during the summer, neither
suffering from the rigors of the north
nor the fervid heat of more tropical re
gions. Nor in the winter is much cold
experienced.
The soil is fertilize I by heavy dows
and the near proximity of' the ocean,
never suffering from the drought so com
mon in the West Indies.
The government is similar to that of
most all tbe other English colonial de
pendencies. The Governor is appointed
by the Crown, with a salary of 111.000,
made up by perquisites to about $15,030.
He is asuisted by a Privy Council of
nine, nominated by the Crown, which
llso performs the functions of a legisla
tive council.
The House of Assembly has thirty s'x
members, elected by nine parishes, each
returning four.
The electoral qualification is tbe pos
session of property valued at not less
than $300, which ut present enfranchises
about 980 vote. '
Ecclesiastically Bermuda is attached
to the bishopric of Newfoundland. The
Roman Catholics, esleyans aim J.'res
byterian. ave also well representei.
Education is favored aud suppnrte.i by
the Government, and attejdanco at
school is made compulsory. All who have
carefully studied the resources of the
Bermudas unite in prophecying the rapid
approach of an era cf general prosperity
and thrift that shaU throw in the shade
all their past progress.

School!) fur the Blind.
The statistics recently issued by tho
Census Department on the various de-
tails of public education iu this country
contain no raoeo interesting data than
when the inquiry has proceeded on com
paratively unknown lines. The data on
schools for tho blind are a caie In point.
According to a sorios of ,ables just
made public it would appear that while
the average amount spent in this form of
education in 1810 to 185'J was 82(53 per
pupil, the better facilities afforded in the
decade just closed brought the cost up
o f 288. Tho number of schools shows
a gratifying increase, there bting 2931
reporting to the department.
While it must be bora in mind that
the apparent increase in the decade is due
to some extent to the increased facilities
for the rccep'.ion and education of tho
blind in the schools provide! for this
purpose, it is nono the less true that pub
lic spirit and benevolencj has largely ;
been at work in impressing upon these
unfortunates ths need of a bjtter equip
ment for life. Tbe advances made in
this respect in the United States compare
favorably with those of the older com
munities across the water, if, indeed,
thoy may not to-day bo said to be the
model for universal emulation. St.

The Illppocrntle Oath.
Proofreader (Now York, N. Y.)
writes: "In describing the closing ex
ercises of a college of medicine, a morn
ing paper recently stated that the Presi
dent of the college administered tho
Hippocrotic oath to the young graduat
Lrg physicians. What is the 'Hippo
cratio oathl' " Answer: The Hippo
cratic oath was an engagement made in
classic times between young men enter
ing into the practice of medicine. The
formula was ascribed to Hippocrates,
"the Father of Medicine," and opened
with: ' "I swear by Apollo, the physi
cian, by -jEsoulapius, by Hygcia, Pana
cea, and all the gods and goddesses,
that, according to my ability and judg
ment, I will keep this oath; to reckon
him who teaches me this art equally dear
to me with my parents; to share my sub
stance with him and relieve his necessi
ties, if required; to look upon his .off
spring upon the same footing as my own
brothers, and to teach them this art, if
they shall learn it, without fee or stipu
lation." It proceeds with the laying
down of an exalted code of medical
ethics. ! The oath administered in the
case yon mention we judge was tome
modification of the original and sup
ported ar lofty standard of medical boa-or.-oyi

Crows make very amusing pets lor any
one who can put up with their iunate
spirit of devilry, and besides that they
can be taught to talk more distinctly
I than most parrots, says Aature't liealm.
i It is a common idea among the country
people that they will Dot talk unless
j their tongues are cut at a certain tender
i aje. Be that as it may, I have heard
' crows talk excellently that never had
! their tongues cut, aud some whosj
tongues are cut never will talk at all. 1
always take my chances without cutting,
and out of nearly a dozen that I have
j owned only two proved void of a bump
of language,
j To be sure of having a good, arTcc
i tionate crow, take him from the nest as
: soon after hatching as joti can find him.
If he is the first of the brood hatched, ail
tho better. How are you to tell that?
Why, if you find one baby crow
I and tour eggs in tho ne.it, docs
; not that- settle the question beyon 1
! dispute? Namo him as soon as you gut
home. It is a good plan to have a family
j consultation on the subject, for a re
! chiisteniug is fatal to the proper educa
tion of yourcaiiow charge. Always call
him by name when you fee 1 bin;, lie
! will learu his name before he kno.v.s
what feathers are, ami respond to it
whenever he hears it utttered.
! Feed until half fledge I on meal and
1 water regular "chicken doujh" and
if any "chicken sickness" conies on con
sult tho "chicken doctor." In otiuv
words, the young crow must be raised
on about the same diet as a young chick-
en. Feed plenty and feed often. A
crow's nest is the best thing to keep him
1 in during his infantile days. If you
I haven't one make a substitute. As he
glows in strength and is able to travel
about a little he needs more variety in
his fool, but b careful he does not
swalloA' anything that is very salt.
Damp a handful of gravel down his
mouta occasionally and give hhu min
n.nvs aud frogs once iu a while. Swal
lowing his first live frog sclmih to give a
young crow a most agreeable ne w sensa
tion. Do uot hi ia a hurry about uvik
, iug him bathe.
i lie will wash himself whenever it is
necessary, and if taken and plunged into
cold water while the ninleatners are fu'l
of blood it may- cause him to literally
"catch his death o' cold." As soon as
he is well on the wing his language les
sons should begin. Shut hiai up in a
darkened room when well fed, and begin
! l,y whispering the word or phrase you
wish him to learn. If he seems to listen,
' icpeat it a little louder, and contiuue
' until he either grows restless or goes to
I sleep. It will be but a few minute.
liepeat the same lessoa au.l uothiug
! else every time you visit him or piss with
j in hearing for a week or ten days, and if
: your crow doesn't talk iu that time he
i probably never will.
j Generally they will begin to practice
to themselves the first or second day of
their imprisonment, but once a word or
' phrase is learned others will quickly fol
; low. If really talented you can make
your crow appear to answer any ques
tion. For instance, call his name
lently and add "What" in a loud,
: emphatic tone. Soon, when his name is
called, he will respond "What" with
just the same emphasis and inflection
, that he has heard you give. Then,
again, if you say, ""It's dinner-time''
whenever you feed him, some day lie will
, walk into the house hungry aud gravely
j announce "It's dinner-time."
Ashe grows iu years and knowledge
your crow will develop a variety of thiev
ish and amusing tricks too numerous to
mention. He will cultivate the most
friendly acquaintance with some people
' and show an unaccountable animosity
! toward others. He will attend you part
way wheaever you leave home, au.l if
your hours of return are regular, will
probably meet you at the same spot and
welcjmo you exuberantly. ,very tiinj
! he fails to do so look for him at once;
I he will cither be in some utterly eutraue-
ing bit of mischief or else dead.
Speed of an Earthquake.
The course which au earthquake rum
is usually very rapid. From the instant
when the first shock was Jelt at Lisbon
to tho period when all was over, and
nearly 30,000 people killed, uot more
thau two miuutes had elapsed. Usually
from ten 1 1 thirty seconds elapse be
tween the first and last shocks ot severe
earthquake. But this lightning speed is
uot always the earthquake's mode of
traveling. While Caraca in Venezuela
was almost totally destroyed and 12,000
people were killed in less than twenty
seconds by the great shock of 1812,
there are cases in which constantly re
curring shocks have lasted for weeks.
No odds how brief the span, the most
frightful havoc can be wrought, and the
ware of destruction propagated from the
most distant regions. The rumbling
earth sounds travels at the rate of about
10,000 to 11,000 fe3t per second, and
the earth wave, on an average, about
1200 feet iu the same space of time.
