The motto of the highland host that
battled for the Stuart cause, which
— —
bonny Prince Charlie headed, appar’
ently was that heaven helps those who
help themselves liberally. They levied
toll on the henroost, stable and, ac
cording to the author of “The Land of
Romance,” even on the pockets of the
Covenanters,
At Swarthholm a party of these ma-
rauders overhauled the house of a tai-

to cut up a web of homespun that had
taken his fancy the good wife earnest

«“A day'l! come when ye'll ha' tae

A Mountain In the Sky.
Somewhere many miles away from
this earth an enormous mountain
twenty miles high is flying through
space. The mountain is known astro-
nomically as the planet Eros. The or-
dinary man has long taken it for
granted that all the planets are more
or less round in shape. The small
planet Eros, however, Is an exception
to this rule. According to the latest
astronomical information, it is a mere
mountain in space, “without form and
void” and as it turns upon its axis
first one corner and then another is
presented to view. These small worlds
(few are over ten or twenty miles
across) are not large enough to have
sufficient gravity to draw thelr strue-
ture into symmetry and remain as
‘when launched into space—mammoth
meteorites. A tantalizing fact for as.
tronomers is that
the ancient
Fros passed very
close to us about Jan. 24. 1894—hefore |
the planet was recognized—and that
quite so near an approach is not due
again till 1975.
“The Mine's Blown Up.”
1 was sitting on the edge of my bed,
loosening the heel of one of my rubber
boots with the toe of the other, when
suddenly through the stillness of the
sleeping town, from the power house
half a mile away, came a low and ris
ing note, the great siren whistle in the
power house. Almost fascinated, |
listened as the great note rose higher
and more shrill and died away again
One blast meant a fire in the town, twe
blasts fire in the buildings at the mine
and three blasts, the most terrible of
all, a disaster or trouble in the mine.
Once more, after an interminable
pause, the sound came again and once
more rose and died away. 1 did not
move, but there was a sudden cold
ness that came over me as once more,
for the third time, the deep note broke
out on the quiet air. Almost instan
taneously the loud jingle of my tele
phone brought me to my feet. 1 took
down the receiver. *“Che mine's blown
up,” said a woman's voice.— Atlantic.
Saying No.
The author of “Pat McCarty,” a book
of verse with a setting of prose, shows
how naturally some of the Irishmen or
Antrim dilute the wine of narrative
with the water of verblage. In the ex
cerpt below—"The Way We Tell
Story” —the diluent is used with a par
ticularly free hand:
Says I to him, 1 says, says I,
Says | to him, | says,
The thing, says 1, | says to him,
Is just, says I, this ways.
1 hev, says 1, a gre't regpeck
For you and for your breed,
And onything 1 cud, I says,
1'd do, 1 wud indeed.
I don’t know any man, 1 says,
1'd do it for, says 1,
As fast, [ says, as for yoursel'.
That's tellin’ ye no lle.
There's naught, says 1, I wudn't do
To plase your feyther's son,
But this, | says, ye see, says I,

The Spectacled Bear.
The spectacled hear of Ecuador is
go called because of a patch of white
around each eye, which makes the
animal look as though he was peering
through a pair of great spectacles.
In size and general color the spec:
tacled bear looks not unlike the Ameri:
can black bear. But its hair Is very
shaggy. At each side of the head is a
white bar, which gives the animal the
appearance of wearing un halter. But
the most distinctive feature is the
white around the eyes.
Attachment.
The schoolteacher was trying
lustrate the difference between plant:
and animals.
“Plants,” she explained, “are not sus-
ceptible of attachment to man as ani-
mals are.”

“Makers to his majesty” and “im-
ported” are words that carry much
weight to many minds. It is strange
what a glory a foreign label can cast
upon a commonplace article. The fact
of a commodity having crossed the wa-
ter, however, is not taken quite so se-
riously today as it was some fifty or
sixty years ago. M. C. D. Silsbee
gives an instance in her “A Hslf Cen-
tury In Salem.”
‘Miss Ann M. Rust was one of the
two milliners. She had a large collec-
tion of finery, shelves full of handsome
ribbons and glass showcases of rich
embroideries, besides the Inevitable
Once she imported nn quan-
tity of exquisite French caps. The
strings were somewhat crushed in the
transit across the ocean. The caps
were quickly disposed of. An aunt
bought one, and Miss Rust innocently
observed that a “warm iron would
make the creases all right.”
“What!” indignantly exclaimed the
aunt. “Smooth a crease made In Paris?
No. indeed; never!”
A Famous English Clock.
Wells cathedral contains one of the |
most interesting clocks in the whole
world. It was constructed hy Peter
Lightfoot, a monk, in 1520 and em-
braces many devices which testify to |
herologist's ingenuity. |
Several celestial and terrestrial bodies |
are Incorporated in the interes.ing
movement and relationship. They in-
dicate the hours of the day, the age
of the moon and the position of the
planets and the tides. When the clock |
strikes the hour two companies of
horsemen fully armed dash out of
gateways in opposite directions and |
churge vigorously. They strike with
thelr lances as they puss as many
times as correspond with the number
of the hour. A little distance away,
seated on a high perch, is a quaint
figure. which kicks the quarters on
two hells placed benesth his feet and
strikes the hours on a bell. The dial
of the clock is divided into iwenty-
four hours and shows the phases of
the moon and a map of the universe. —

Max O’Rell’s Reply.
Max O'Rell at a dinner in Montreal |
at which were present English, Scoteh, |
Irish and French was asked to give
his opinion of the different races.
Here is the answer he gave on the in-
stant. |
“Phe Scotchman,” he said, and he |
clinched his right hand tightly and
pretended to try to force it open with |
his left. “The Englishman” And he
went through the same performance,
opening the hand at the end after an
apparent struggle. “The Irishman”—
And he held out his hard wide open, |
with the palm upward. “The French- |
man”— And he made a motion with
both hands as if he were emptying
them on the table.
There was not a word of explana-
tion, but all understood thoroughly and
had a hearty laugh.
A Good Shot.
A sportsman of great imaginative
gifts and fond of telling his exploits
related that at one shot he had
brought down two partridges and a
hare. His explanation was that, al
though he had only hit one partridge,
the bird in falling had clutched at
another partridge and brought that to
earth entangled in its claws.
“But how about the hare?’ he was
asked.
“Oh,” was the calm reply, “my gun
kicked and knocked me backward,
and 1 fell on the hare as it ran past!”
An Old Christmas Law.
The general court of Massachusetts
Bay Colony, following the example of
the English parliament, in 1650 enact-
feasting or any other way, any such
day as Christmas day shall pay for ev-
ery such offense 5 shillings.” This law
was repealed in 1681.

A lady of my acquaintance in Tokyo,
says a writer in the World Wide Mag-
azine, possessed a valuable servant of
somewhat mature years who rejoiced
in the poetic name of Oharu San-—
“Phe Honorable Miss Spring.” -
One day Miss Spring brought In

there was not a shadow of a cloud in

ten appeared; neither, in answer to
calls at first patient and afterward
