An Interesting Burns Relic.

An interesting relic has just been
presented to the Burns Cottage at
Ayr. 1t is an oak chair which thirty
five years ago was made of the print
ing press on which the original Kill
marnock edition OF Burns poems
was printed in l7s6. There is a
model of Burns bust carved on the
top OF the back, and a carving Of
Tam O'Shanter crossing the Aud
Bridge Of Doom below. and on the
arms are the heads of Tam and the
Souter. AT the centenary dinner in
Ayr in 1879 the chair was used by Sir
James FERGUSON, the chairman-Pall

To Test a Diamond.

Here is an easy means of determining
whether supposed diamond is genuine
or not. Pierce hole in card with 6
needle and then look at the hole
through the stone If false you will see
two holes, but if you have real
diamond only single hole will appear.
OH may also make the test III another
way. Put your finger behind the stone
and look at it through the diamond as
through a magnifying glass. Ifthe stone
is genuine you will be unable to dis
tinguish the grain of the skin, but with
a false stone this will be plainly visible;
Furthermore, looking through a real
diamond the setting is never visible,
whereas it is with false stone.

but to return to New York.
At this stage of the conversation q

other side of the room, laid down the
paper he held in his hand, and giving
Jack a scrutinizing glance, left his
chair.

Jack took up pen, but paused as a
humping noise was heard in the next
room.
It's only John, observed Mrs. Shrimp,
with calm reinsurance, Not having no

morning" Apparently satisfied, Jack
dipped his pen into in some rather thick
ink, and wrote in a large, bold hand,

near, regarded him with slightly be-
wildered air. In her estimation he was
upset also.

The ROYAL COachInan.

There is. or was, az old Irishman
at Lisbon, who was a royal coachman
when the late King of Portugal was
Il child. One day the little prince
was caught by the coachman up TO
some mischief in the royal stables.
Without any regard for the princely
dignity, Pat laid the heir of the
House OF BraganZa across his knee,
and spanked him soundly, despite his
howlS for mercy. The future King
bore him no malice, however, and
Pat was subsequently pensioned and
lived on terms Of friendly familiarity
with Dom Luis and his family after
his whilom victim assembled the
throne.
