ISLANDERS IN GRIP OF POVERTY.
PROSPERITY TO PENURY.
St. Helena, one of the loneliest out-posts of the British Empire, has fallen on ovil times.
Once a prosperous port of call and "halfway house" between India and Englund, it, used to minister to the needs of nearly 1,000 ships in a year. Fruit and ἐπ and provisions were large quantities, and the inhabit- ants, who are nearly all of Eng- Hah origin, had no difficulty in earning a livelihood.

Early in the present century an attempt was made to develop flux- growing on the island, but this industry is now declining. and there seems little prospect of the islanders finding any further RICANA of supplementing their incomoя.
