TRUE   STATUS    OF   A* TRAITOR.
Well   Defined  by the  Father  of  Sir
Walter Scott.
Among the treasures which adorned
the "den" of Sir Walter Scott was a
china saucer—the memorial according
to the author of "Edinburgh Under
Sir Walter Scott," of a striking incident in the domestic life of Scott's
father and mother. One autumn Mr.
Scott, Sr., had a client who came regularly every evening at a certain hour
to the house, and remained in his
private room usually long after the
family had gone to hed. The little
mystery of the unknown visitor excited Mrs. Scott's curiosity, and her
husband's vague statements increased
It, One night, therefore, although she
knew it was against her husband's
desire, she entered the room with a
salver in her hand, and offered the
gentleman "a dish of tea," as it used
to be called in eighteenth century parlance. Mr. Scott very coldly refused
It, but the stranger bowed and accepted a cup. .Presently he took his
leave. Then Mr. Scott seized the
empty cup and threw it out on the
pavement. His wife vfaa astonished
at first, but not when she heard the.
explanation. "I may admit into my
house, on business, persons wholly unworthy, to be treated ai guests of my
i^ife. Neither- lip of me nor mine
pomes after Mr. Murray, or Brough-
ton's."- The client who had called
was none other than the traitor, Secretary Murray, who bought off his life
and fortune by giving evidence against
his gallant Jacobite associates.—Dundee Advertiser. .       •;„'"  ."

Peculiar Spook That Has Struck Terror to Farmer Folk.
Tie horseback riding ghost is the,
veiy latest variety that has appeared
in Bowdoinham, and he is a particular spirit, making visitations only at
certain times.
The,hunter's ghost, they call him,
and the big man on the big white
horse .who comes galloping down.' the
Jjisbon road on the full o*. the moon,
right up to the side door of gruffly Crest
farm' Strikes teFrQT to the hear| ot
the farmer folk as he raps smartly
with his riding whip on the panels ot
the door. Whenever one appears^ in
inswer" 'to the knock the ghost, so
they tell the story, wheels round and
disappears at a gallop, turning into
the old woods road much used in, revolutionary' times by the soldiers "of that
stormy period. -    - -

him, connecting this horsehack'riding.

Ancient Uses of Bloodhounds.
Although the use of bloodhounds
for tracking criminals still survives,
another ancient use of these dogs
seems to have died out. Bloodhounds
were at one .time often called upon
to assist an army in the field, the
forces with whiah the earl of Essex
suppressed the Irish rebellion in the
time of Elizabeth, for instance, being
accompanied by 800 dogs. In the Scottish clan feuds and the wars between
England and Scotland bloodhounds
were regularly employed in tracking
fugitive warriors, and both Wallace
and -Bruce were hunted in this manner. Wallace is said to have baffled
his pursuers by killing a follower and
leaving the corpse for the hound to
find, while Bruce adopted the less
cruel plan of wading some distance
down a stream and ascending a tree
which overhung the water.
Hemming Table Linen.
Tablecloths and napkins usually are
finished with a French hem. A French
hem is ihade by first turning an ordinary hem—that is, turn one fold and
'then turn it over a second time. When
the hem has been turned", turn it back
on itself so "that -the right side of the
hem lies upon the right side of the material and top sew the edges. In other
words, sew over and over. When this
is finished spread out the hem and
crease it flat. This forms a much
stronger hem than the ordinary one
sewed with the usual hemming stitch.
Only the raw edges of table linen
should be hemmed, and the hem on
the napkin should be as narrow as it
is possible to turn it—that is, about
an eighth of an inch wide.
Success.
"He has achieved success, who has,
lived long,, 'laiighed often, and lo.yed
much; who has gained the. trust q£
pure women, the respect of intelligent
men, and the love of little children;
who has filled his nighe. and accomplished his task; who has left the
world better- than he. found it, whether
by an improved poppy, a perfect poem,
or a rescued soul; who has never
lacked appreciation of earth's, heauty,
nor failed to express it; who. has. always looked for the best in others
and given the best he had; whose life
was an inspiration; whose memory,
a benediction."—Bessie A. Stanley.
A    FEW    OF    LIFE'S    PARADOXES.
CASTORIA
For Infants and Children.
le Kind You Have Always Bought
Bears the     •
Signature of (+£,
All True,.Though at First, They Seem
to Read  Rather Odd.
Peace we secure by armaments,
liberty by laws and constitutions,
simplicity and naturalness are the
consummate result of artificial breed-
Jog .a,n*J trftinlnfj heal|h, strength and
wealth are. increased ' only" by lavish
use, expense and wear. Our mistrust
of mistrust engenders our commercial system of credit; our tolerance
of revolutionary utterances is* the
only way of lessening their danger;
our charity has to say no to beggars
in order not to defeat its own desires; the true epicurean has to observe great sobriety; the way to certainty lies through radical doubt;
virtue signifies not innocence but the
knowledge of sin and its overcoming. The ethical "and religious life
are full of contradictions held in solution. YOu hate your enemy?—-well,
forgive him, and thereby heap coals
of fire on his head; to realize yourself, renounce yourself; to save your
soul, first lose it; in short, die to live.
—Prof. William James, in Hibbert
Journal. "
A  PERSONAL  APPEAL.
If we could talk to you personally
about the great merit of- Foley's Honey and Tar, for coughs, colds and lung
trouble, you never could be induced to
experiment with unknown prepara/
tions that may contain somg harmful
drugs. Foley'g Honey and Tar "costs
you np m§re and has a record of forty
years of cures.   Wheeler's Pharmacy.
SOME SMALL ENGLISH PARISHES.
Dozen Inhabitants in One; in Another.
Only Two Houses.
Probably few people know that this;
Country contains a number of parishes so small that their population
can be housed under one or two roofs.
For instance, "Upper Eldon, near
Stockbridge, consists of two houses,
.which with an eleventh century church
and a tiny "God's. Acre"- in the middle
pf a farmyard adjoining one of- the
dwellings, comprise the whole parish.
Not much larger is the population of
Lullington, five miles from Eastbourne.
Small as its church is—the interior
dimenci^ns are only 16. feet square—
it is quite large enough for the inhabitants.
In Grove near Lighton Buzzard,
there are only about a dozen inhabitants, the parish containing a modern
farmhouse, two cottages and a tiny
church. At Khyd, in Flintshire, while
there are only.three adult inhabitants,
the village contains five cottages and
one ship. Until recently 'there were
two licensed houses, one of which still
remains.—Tit-Bits.
Gold Cake.
Take the yolks of eight eggs left
from an angel food, one cefiee cup of
sugar, one-half a cup of butter; cream
butter and sugar and beaten yolks;
one-half cup sweet milk, one-half teaspoon soda in milk, and one teaspoon
cream tartar, or yon can use one heaping teaspopn of baking powder in two
cups level full of flour sifted.four
times. One teaspoon of vanilla, frost,
and if you wish a beautiful cake, put
freshly grated cocoanut on top of the
frosting..
Handy Drying Device.
Take an o\d umbrella frame and
w,ind the wires with whites cloth and
suspend by handle, from the ceiling
near the range. It will prove excellent far drying baby's clothes and
other little pieces. If handle- is not
of the hook kind, a hook can easily
be bored into a straight handle.
Cream of Tartar Biscuits.
One quart of flour well sifted with
2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1 tablespoon of lard or butter worked in
with the band. Milk enough to make
a batter as moist as any bread dough.
Roll out on board or, better still, press
down with the palm of the hand.
Make a Knife Sharpener.
* Cut a board about an inch thick,
three inches wide and eight inches
long. Cover the top and sides with a
double thickness of emery paper.
When the first thickness wears out
cut it .off and new one is read}'. When
the second one wears out recover it.
Extracting Lemon Juice.
To extract juiGe of lemon or orange
much more juice will be obtained if
the fruit is first covered with cold
water and aHowefl to come to a boil
Iiefore the fruit is cut.
