An Old Scotch Family.

In Roxburyshire there are some very
old families. One of these are the
SCOTS, baronets, of Anerum, who in q
clear line trace their descent from
Richard, who assumed the surname of
Scott, and having founded the priory of
st. Andrews died in 1864 most re-
spectacle antiquity. A descendant of
this parsonage VA the famous Sir Mich
ael Scott. . man Of learning and extra
ordinary abilities, who fourished in the
thirteenth century, and possessed the
unenviable reputation of being q wizard.
Another old family we'll worthy of mo-
tice 10 that of the D~ouglasses of Cavers,
whose last male descendant was Mi. Jas.
Douglas of Cavers, who died toward the
end Of July, 1873. Mr.. Douglas was the
twentieth in descent from Archibald,
illegitimate son OF James, second earl of
Douglas, who was killed at Chevy Chase,
or battle of Otterburn, in 1858. The
mansion of Cavers ia situated in the vale
of Teviot in the neighborhe cd of Ha-
wick, and in 1t have been preserved some
valuable memorials of q lorg distant
past. Among these is the Douglas BAN
ner that was displayed at Otterburn,
also certain Percy relics, consisting Of q
pair Of gauntlets bearing the white lion
OF the Percies, embroidered in pearls,
and fringed with ~fligree-work of silver.
These gauntlets. evidently the work of a
lady, were attached to the handle of
PeIcy's lance, and with it were captured
BY Douglas in single combat under the
walls of Newcastle. A family that can
point to such veracious testimonies of
ancestral renown, IL something not heard
OF every day.-C2GmberS Journal.

A Canine Mind Reader.

In q valuable article on "Mental
Physiology IN the Westminster Review
for January, occurs . brief description
of . magnificent mastif named "Kep-
ler," who wa the possessor of rare canine
gifts and belonged to DR.. Higgins, the
eminent English spectroscopist and
astronomer.
At the close Of a dinner or luncheon
party, Kepler would march sedately into
the room and set himself down ut his
masters feet. The doctor would pro-
pound to him various arithmetical ques-
tions, which the dog invariably solved
without q mistake-even extracting
square roots off-hand with the utmost
proinptness. Where complicated pro.
cesses were involved Kepler would give
more consideration, and sometimes hesi-
tate a. to where his barks ought finally
to stop; but he always gave the right
number. The cake which was to reward
him was held up before him during the
exercise, but Kepler never removed his
eyes from his masters face until the
solution was arrived at, then the cake
disappeared instantly.
The explanation Of these wonders il
that while DR., Higgins was perfectly
unconscious Of suggesting the proper
answer to the dog, Kepler had required
the habit of reading in his masters eye
OF countenance some indication that was
NOT known to the doctor himself. Keep
ler was, in fact, : mind reader.

Favored Critic.

M. Sarcey, the famous theatrical
critic of the Paris Temps, is really an
autocrat of the Partisan theatres. When
he enters the theatre on the first night
of a play, TIE manager bows and scrapes
to him, he is carefully escorted to his
box, and relieved of his overcoat, and
the actors, forgetting to watch the
public, watch him only. He prints his
first impression; then if on a second
hearing he sees reason to change his
opinion, he does 80, and says frankly
why he does it. He is a peculiar lectur-
er. He talks Familiarity with his audi
euce, and will stop in the middle of a
sentence to ask q gentleman the hour, or
suggest that there is a draft somewhere.
He has q way of saying Just what he
pleases. One night he was 1ecturing on
lola, who had published a collection of
dramatic pieces. lola was in the hall,
but at some distance, and trying to keep
out of sight. A friend saw him and
told Sarcey he was there (Sarcey would
never have known it, "a he was near
sighted from chat moment he lectured
at lola. 1t was rather disagreeable for
Zola, but very amusing to the audience,
composed chiefly of journalists.

make an alloy having the color and ap
pearance Of gold, they placed In . cruel
bic, copper as pure as possible, platinum,
and tungstic acid in the proportions
stated below. When the metals are COM
pletely melted they stir and granulate
them by running them into water con-
tanning 500 grammes Of slaked lime and
500 grammes of carbonate of potash for
every cubic metre Of water. This mix
turc, dissolved in water, has the property
of rendering the alloy still purer. The
granulated metal is next collected, dried,
and after remelting in a crucible, a Ger.
tain quantity of fine gold is added. An
alloy is thus produced which, when run
into ipgots, presents the appearance of
red gold of the standard 100000. The
color Of the alloy may be changed by
varying the proportions of the different
metals. As fux, boric acid, nitrate of
soda, and chloride Of sodium, previously
melted together in equal proportions, are
used. The proportion of fux to be
employed is rs grammes per kilogramme
of the alloy. The proportions employed
by preference for producing an alley OF
red gold color are: Copper, SOC
grammes; platinum, Is; tungstic acid,
10; and gold, ITO grammes.

TO STEW

Peel and trim mushrooms, using stems
and tops; wash quickly and carefully to
get rid of sand; if small, do not cut; il
large, divide into four; put into cold
milk, barely covering them, with a table
spoonful Of butter, a light teaspoonful
of salt, and a half tablespoonful Of white
pepper. Let them boil steadily for Is
minutes; add at the conclusion a heap
ing teaspoonful of -four, well mixed
with cold water; a final boil concludes
the cooking; do not overlook, I beg to
state that the old idea Of cooking asiIver
spoon with mushrooms. and throwing
them away as poisonous if the spoon ia
blackened, is an absurdity. If any sub
stance contains a free sulphuret, 1t will
blacken silver. Eggs contain this sui.
phuret, and blacken silver, but an egg
is not poisonous. Poisonous mushrooms
are exceedingly rare, and are never of.
cred in market. Perhaps some of your
contributors will give a description OF
the dangerous varieties of mushrooms.-
