branches Of religious knowledge. Rev.

nation, which was witnessed by a large
audience. The prompt answer given
BY the pupils to every interrogatory, and
the clear definition which they gave of
the development and history Of the reli-
gious sentiment, OF the Mosaic laws and
doctrines Of the Jewish faith, revealed
the fact that they had been thoroughly
instructed, and that their knowledge was
positive and comprehensive. After the
examination the rabbi declared the fol.

sion to the rite Of confirmation: Misses
Francis Wolf, Fanny Levy, Cora Beatus,
Hattie Washer, Florence Dreyfaus, Re.

Eighty odd years ago potatoes we're
introduced at Moscow by a gentleman
named Rowland, but at first the people
would not have anything to do with nor
touch nor plant them, saying they we're
the devils fruit, given to him when he
made complaint Of having no fruit. A
curious Berwickshire legend, which, how.
ever, is pAlpably anachronical, attributes
the introduction of potatoes into Scot.
land to that famous Wizard Of the
North, Sir Michael Scott. The wizard
and the devil, being in partnership, took
a lease Of a farm on the Msrtour estate,
called Whitehouse. The wizard was to
manage the farm; the devil managed the
capital. The produce was to be divided
as follows: The first year Sir Michael
was to have oil that grew above the
ground, and his partner all that grew
below; the second year their shares we're
to be just the opposite way. His So.
tanic majesty, as is usual in such cases,
was fairly OVsrreaehed in his bargain;
for the wizard cunningly sowed all the
land in the first year with wheat, and
planted it with potatoes the second, so
that the devil got nothing for his share

this securing rotation Sir Michael con.
tiuued until be had not only beggared
his partner, but exhausted the soil. In
spite Of this legend, however, we must
continue to give credit to Sir Walter Ra-
leigh for having been the i~nIroducer Of
potatoes. The first that tried them, we
are teld, fell into the very natural mis-.
take Of eating the apples and disregard
ing the roots.
