The virtues of the apple as a fruit have been celebrated from time immemorial, and few fruits have so many legends associated with them. The garden of the Hesperides was the garden of the golden apple, Just as our Avalon is the Isle of Apples. “ Of all fruits,” it has 1: en written, “ the apple seems to have had the widest and most mystical history. The myths concerning it meet us in every age and country. Aphrodite hears it in her hand, as well as Eve. The serpent guards it; the dragon watches it. It is celebrated by 5301031011; is the healing fruit of Arabian tales. Ulysses longs for it. in the gardens of Alcinous; Tantalus grasps vainlyfor it in .des. In he prose Edda it is written: “ Iduna keeps in a box apples, which t c gods. vhen they feel old age ap- proaching, have only to taste to become young again. It is in this manner that they will he kept in renoVated youth until Ragnarokfithe general destruction. Azrael, the Angel of Death, accomplished his mis- sion by holding it to his nostrils; and in folk-lore Snowdrop is tempted to her death by an apple, half of which a crane has poisoned, but recovers life when the fruit falls from her lips. The Golden Bird seeks the Golden Apples of the King’s garden in many a Norse story; and when the tree hears no more, Frau Bertha reveals to her favorite that it is because a mouse gnaws at the tree’s root. Indeed, the kind mother goddess is sometimes personified as an ap- ple tree, but oftener the apple is the tempter in northern mythology and sometimes makes the nose grow, S) that the pear alone can 'ring it to a mode *ate size.” A111011g the Seminole Indians there is a singrulr :1 t1“? 1ditiu11 regarding the white 1111111 s oligin 511111 superimi y They ..ay that when the Great Spirit made the eax L11 he also 111:1 1616 three 111011, all of whom were fair compiexim 16d; and thufi after making them he led them to the 1112‘- .1‘gin Ufa small lake, 111111 he b 'Lde Li:e111 leap 1n 11.1111 wash.

The third did not leap in till the 1 '21tve11 became black with mud, and he came out; its own color. Then the Great Spirit laid before them three packages, and out, of piw for his mis- fortune in color, gave the black man first choice. He took hold of each of the pack- ages and, having felt their weight, chose the heaviest, the ceppeecolored chose the next ieaxiest, leaving; the white man thelightest.

GLENBORO, Mair, Oct. 13.â€"â€"A number of the Icelanders now at Grund settled first at Gimli, in the Lake Winnipeg district, but afterward movcd here. rl‘hey are a thrifty and industrious people, and Grund is a very prosperous colony. The majority of these settlers came in the spring of 1882. and have at present under cultivation an average of 103 acres to each family. They are all engaged in mixed farming, having an average of twenty head of cattle and a. team of horses. Several of them, however, have from 40 to 50 head of cattle and three or four horses. Nearly all are naturalized and they take a. keen interest in Canadian politics. Last spring their temperance society heldapicnic and debate and the sub- ject chosen for discussion was Equal Rights. The Icelanders are an intellectual race and very fond of education. In the library of one farmer was found a copy of Byron, \Vhittier, Scott’s Rob Roy, Huxley’s Plys- iology, Dr. Cope’s Natural History and a \Vebster”s Unabridged Dictionary. He was asked if when reading English he used the dictionary often. * . . - .-n A (ton-respondent Describes Their Manner of Living. J . ” No, expcept when I read scxentlfic works,” ng§ the rather startling answer. They hold the Lutheran creed and attend the sorvxces of their church most regularly. Their minister is an Icelmnler and preaches in his native tongue. The church itself is a frame building with a. seating capacity for Quite a number of them keep sheep, and the women spin the wool and knittheir own stockings, socks for their children and much of their own underwear ; and many wear homespun dresses. One old Wonnn was so amused at theinterest shownin her work that placing the wheel in front of me she taught me how to use it, smiling good humoredly when the thread was accidentally broken. After Spinning the yarn they color it with dyes. Their spinning wheels are very much smaller than those formerly in ordinary use in this country. Though there is little attempt at decora- tion the houses are neat and clean and the women are good cooks, being justly cele- brated for their delicious coffee, which even excels in strength and aroma. the much vaunted Southern coffee. The Icelanders are noted for strict veracity and honesty in all their dealings, and will pay their debts so soon as they can possibly do so. They are a short, small-boned people, and in com- plexion neither very fair nor very dark ; their eyes are generally blue, their hair light br0\ 'n and their skins dark. The dress of the Icelandic bride, called the skautbuniw gunâ€"which means the head-dress costume ~, is very handsome and s handed down from generation to generation. It consists of a very pretty, becoming, pointed White silk cap which sets high on the head, the point being turned forward so as to curve over the front and the whole stuffed with cider down to hold it in shape. It re- sembles somcwimt a, briinlcss Normandy bonnet, the crow 1 being peeked instead of square. From the l)ItCl{ of this cap hangs a bow of white ribbon with long, fie ving ends and then over all is thrown a long, white, emâ€" broidered veil, fas‘ e red on by a, broad band of white ribbon covered with gold stars. A girl must be plain indeed who does not. look captivating in this picturesque head- dress. The dress itself is black homespun, but the texture is exceedingly fine ”and even; the waist fastens in front with silver buttonszmd is short and tight-fitting. The collar, cuffs and both sides of the front are edged with bands of velvet embroidered in silver with a lovely artistic vine pattern, The girdle is also of velvet, embroidered in the some metal and with the solid silver buckles so wide as to run half way round the Waist. The skirt reaches only to the ankles and is worked round the bottom in green and orange colored erewcls; this stri p of embroidery is about half a foot in width. The same style of costume has been worn for over 1,000 years; its use is not strictly confined to brides, as on very especial occasions it is sometimes worn by older ,married ladies, particularly those of high 1 rank. AV young Icelmmic won‘m, who speaks English renmrkaNy yell, was :1 kcd {there was any particular celebration at the time of betrothal.Sl1e gianced at a youmr 1111111 standing beside her and spoke a few wmds in her ow 11 language, and they both smiled as she replied. .. . .x , l . - ‘ No,I guess courtmg ls the samem every country. ” m. . 1 1 7., . llie Icelanders have many legends con- cerning America, which they claim to have discovered a thousand years ago. They are subject, it will be remembered, to the King of Denmark, who holds the veto pow er. They have their own parliament, with an upper and lower ho use, called the “ A Thing” ; and the members, 26 in number are styled Thiugmemi. Of the twelve in the Upper House six are l appointed by the King and six elected by the members of the Lower House from among themselves. The Speaker of the house is called the Forseti. The general elections, i take place every six years, and both Houses i meet- onee in two years. There are 'two parties, entitled respectively the Right and the Left. The peculiarity of this sy m of government is that there is no Cabin t, Hut l its place is occupied by the governor called 3 the Landshofthing and the six 'lhiugmenn ‘ appointed by the King of Denmark. They considered Denmark used the right of veto too freely, and fo - a number of years agitat- ed for Home Rule. Finally they obtained a modification of the constitution, but in the meantime many had emigrated to different parts of America. They are much pleased with the easy conditions of life in Canada and intend to make this country their per- nnnent home. There is a great deal of sturdy independence in the Icelandic disposi- tion. ()smundursson, a man who has lost both legs and one arm, affords a remarkable instance of fortitude and industry. He made his ovn stumps m - til he had saved suflieient money to buy artificial limbs. This man has ttken up u, homestead and has fifteen acres unler culti- vation. six of breaking. 3‘3 sheep and 10 head of cattle. He ploughs and works almost at. Well as an able‘bodied man. Several I_.celau- (lie settlers are worth about 31 1,000. These men came in 1881 and brought $160 with them ; live or six are now worth from $6,000 to $7,000 and ten are worth $55,000. So it will be seen they are very prosperous. They are very fond 0f smoked mutton and also of skiersmndt or curds.
