SCOTTISH ANECDOTES.

There are some capital Scottish anecdotes
in Euery Saturday, of April 20, among
them one of a dying Highland chieftsin,
who asked bis spiritual adviser eff there
was any whisky in heaven" and then half
apologetically, said, aye ken sir, it's no that
l care for it, but it looks weel on the table,"
Here is another: DR.. Robert Knox, the
great teacher of anatomy, began one of bis
letters in this way: "Gentlemen, there are
notext books can recommend. wrote one
myself, but it is poor stuff. l can't recon-
mend It. The man who knows most abont
a subject writes worst upon it. If you
want good text book on any subject,
recommend me to the man who knows
nothing earthly about the subject. The re-
suit is that we have no good text book on
anatomy. We will have one soon, how
ever; Prof. Monro is going to write one"
This Prof. Monro was so lazy that he was
in the habit of using his grandfather's lee
lures, written more than a hundred years
before his day, and students were electrified
by hearing him Gin 1929 and 1890
drawl out, "When l was in Panda in 1894. t"
This was the signal for fun, and showers
of peas descended on Monro's head, who
could never understand what it was all
about. There is also story of Scotch
servant, who, when asked how "his lord
ship" Ii. e., his mastery was, answered, 81
hope he's weel." He was, in fact, dead,
but the old servitor was too cautious to
commit himself, in his opinion, as to his
condition. Among other drinking anec-
dotes and sayings is that o an old worthy,
who used to say, "whisky's bad thing,
and then, as if to qualify such dangerous
sentiment, added, especially bad whisky.

TORTOISE SHELL COMBS AND JEW
ELRY,

The high-backed comb-carryiDg US back
to the times Of our grandmothers-has be-
come an institution of the mode, and to the
proportions then INDUCED in they are rap
idly coming. For very dark hair, Leslie's
Lddy'S Journal thinks that the amber shell
is the more elegant; for brown or blonde
hair, dark colored shell is handsoner.
Price of shell combs from ten to forty dol
lars. A novelty in shell ornaments is seen
in flowers for the hair, rose, aster, or
other blossom being attached to pin and
fastened in the braids or puffs; price 81.
There are also. beautiful darts, stars with
train, sprays, and other devices for veil
pins; chatelaines, chains, brooches, ear
rings, bracelets, fans, card and cigar cases,
tablets, and an almost iDconceivable variety
of beautiful bijouterie of tortoise shell with
out which, or some Of which, the fashion,
able LADY is not now considered complete.
The most elegant patterns are en- cameo
medallions with heads, bouquets OF flowers
or classic devices, or the wearer's mono
gram, being now executed as delicately as
in sardonyx. The most elegant necklaces
have chains of medallions of graduated
sizes linked together, and from them a
fringe of pendants, while less expensive
necklaces are the simple chain with the
locket attached. The shapes of earrings
are too various to be particularizec, and are
generally selected for comparative suitable
ness to the style of the wearer. Among
the noticeable things made of shell, not the
least is found in parasot-handles.
