strange story now floating OH the
great sea Of literary tabIe.talk.--
Nothing less, let me tell you, than
that an unpublished fiction by Sir
Walter Scott has turned up, and will
be published in Paris, where / it was
found. The story runs, that rich
old German, who lived in Paris when
Scott visited it in 1926, had a mono.
mania for collecting autogr apis. and
wanted one Of SCOTS; that Anne
Scott give him the manuscript of a
historical romance by hers father,
which he had determined not to pub
iish; that he priced this very much.
Kept it in box by ITSELF and promis-
ed to bequeath it TO his private secre-
tary; that he Quilted Paris in 1880,
and was lost sight OF; that a few
months ago. the Germans daughter
forwarded the writing case from Baya-
rla; that the secretary opened it, ard
found it to contain, "Moredun, a Tale
Of the Twelve Hundred and Ten"
that it is Of the usual thee volume

Clermont, France. A gardener whose
flames and hot houses required paint.

as likely to attract tbs heat better,
and from principal of economy he
IEade use OF gas tar instead Of, black
paint. lhe' work was performed dur

of spring the gardner was surpr,, !,

which usually infested his hot honses
had disappeared, and also tnat d vine. Yin,
