the heroine of the song bearing her name can
be proven beyond doubt by any one who
takes the trouble to look through the old
par pers now at Craigdarroch and Maxwell
town. The song, written by William Doug
las, of Fingland, first appeared in an Edin-
burgh newspaper, and created quite sensa-
lied Stuarts. while Sir Robert Laurie, father
of Annie was a canny gentleman who be-
lieved in standing by the stronger side.

Finally the . rumor OF an impend-
back to the capital, but tradition has it that
on the night before his departure he wrote
the ballad of annie Laurie" AS well as 1
can recollect, the old version OF the song
differed little either in words or air from
that now in use. Douglas trip to Edin-
hurgh proved fatal to his love affair. His
Jacobite intrigues were suspected, and he
was forced to fly to the low countries.
Whether he CORES Sponded with Annie Laurie
from the Continent, or left her without news
of his Whereabouts. l know not. At any
Size amused herself with several love affairs,
and finally married Alexander Ferguson,
laird OF Craigdarroch. Ferguson was not a
poet, but his estates were large and his fam
flv old as the hills. With him Annie Laurie
lived long and happily. Douglas obtained
pardon from the Government and returned
to Scotland, but there is no tradition of his
ever again meeting Annie Laurie. She sur
vived her husband and became the lady
bountiful of Nithsdale. Under her direc-
tions the present mansion of Craigdarroch
was built, and a relic of her taste is still pre-
served in the formal Georgian gardens i'll
the rear OF the house.

THE SHANGHAI CHARACTER.
A Farmers Opinion of the Chicken Based
on Elaborate Experience.


on Elaborate Experience.
Shanghai chickens are born with an in
ordinate pair of legs, which continue to
grow into regular drumsticks of the longest
dimensions 1t is said that although good
layers, they are very fond of devouring
their own eggs. A farmer who has tried
them ana found them wanting, gives the
following account of their peculiarities.
Their true name, he says. is ''Shank-high, I"
and he pronounces them rightly named.
They have no body at all, and when the
head is cut off the legs come right apart. 1
don't see how they can set on their eggs
my jack-knite can set as well as they can.
They don't sit on the roost the same as
other chickens do; not bit of it. When
they attempt to sit as other chickens do,
they fall off backward. They sit when they
eat, 1 know, for I've seen 'em do it. And
I've seen 'em try to eat standing, but they
couldn't fetch it; for when they peck at
grain of corn on the ground, they don't
more'n half reach it, but their head bobs
right between their legs and makes 'em
turn complete somerset I'd as soon see
a pair of tongs or compasses walking about
my yard as these shauk-highs.
They crow, too, a long time before day,
when it isn't day. Probably because their
legs are so long that they can see daylight
long before common chicken can.

COMPETITION AMONG VEGETABLEs
Plants Are Much Like Humans and the
Strongest Win in Life's Struggles.

Plants Are Much Like Humans and the
Strongest Win in Life's Struggles.
The principal Of competition is so active
and so vigorous in the vegetable world that
it keeps up sort ofdomestic warfare among
plants. The struggle to get on in the
world, says Parsons Weekly, is less notice
able in our latitude than it is In the tropics.
Where the possibilities of reaching the most
gigantic size are the greatest, there the in
dividual plant struggles most eagerly to
get into the foremost place. Plants are
much like ourselves.
As an inst tance of how one tree will take
advantage of another, may be mentioned
the conduct of what is called the parasitic
fig. The seed of this plant is distributed by
birds. Suppose one OF these seeds happen
to lodge in the fork of fruit tree. 1t germ
mates as we'll there as it would on the
ground The young plant sends long root
down until it reaches the soil. Then it
grows vigorously. and its first development
is toward spreading itself all over the fruit
tree, until it has smothered and killed it.

Most Charming at a Distance.
Some years ago the writer journeyed up
the banks of NTH from the '.gud toun O.
Dumfries," by "Maxwelltoun braes," to
Craigdarroch. The ever-changing scenery
had all the wild beauty of the North, and
glen, scaur and woodland teemed with
poetic recollections. Altogether I felt
wondrously romantic, and could not help
singing softly to myself the tender melody
which has given deathless fame to the name
of Annie Laurie. But when entered
Craigdarroch House, and found myself con-
fronted with 900 relics OF the real Annie,
this veil of romance was rudely rent aside.
1t was hard to find that she who should
have waited long years for her Jacobite
troubadour, had actually thrown him over
to wed Dumfriesshire laird, with
paucity of ideas, and plenitude of "siller."

explained that Mrs Ferguson did not be-
come partial to snuff until late in life, but
the bare idea of her practicing the habit at
all seemed too terrible to contemplate.
The writer sadly left the ancient mansion
in which he had expected to find so many
tender memories of Annie Laurie's gracious
life. He did not linger in "Annie's walk"
