So beautiful aud free.
"0h, come to inc, sweet maiden "

And when she heard me calling,
Her lovely face she raised.
"Oh. am but n mermaid,
She sang, as down ga2ed;
"Apd It's not meet mermaid
Should by q man be praised!"
"A-et come to me. dear maiden "

"That may kiss you, maiden,

"You would not love me wholly
YOu have some love of old, -
She sighed, land should only pine,
And you would only scold y
"Alas, alas fair maiden,
II You'll not come to me,
Then | must come to you, love,
Down in the cold, cold sea
For since love YOU, maiden,
And you'll moi loving be,

From PARCHMENT to paper.

inc hrgosy.
We have specimens of paper made
from rags as early as the 14th century,
the oldest cxtant being letter from
Joinville to Louis X. OF France, dated
A. d. 1915. The continued imperfec-
ton of this manufacture still necessi-
tated the transcription of all important
documents on parchment or vellum.
The parchment was, AS of old, cut into
bands joined edgewise, so as to form
rolls, some of the judicial acts requiring
rolls 20 feet in length. Nor was this
plan discontinued till the 10Th century,
when the codex, written on both sides,
became general. 1t must not be con
cluded that ancient law parchments
were always lengthy affairs, however,
there being contracts of sales, dating
A. ID. 1888 and 1852, only two inches
long by five wide, and u will written
A. ID. 1855, two inches by three and a
half. The principle of paper making
has been the same from time immem-
orial, the only change being the ma
terial used and the machinery employed.

One of the sweetest lassies in all Scot
land, one of the best mothers and one
of the sturdiest of fathers, are dear
friends of mine mt Dumfries, Scotland
The lassie is Jean Armour Burns Brown.
Her mother is the daughter Of the oldest
and best beloved of Robert Burns sons,
Robert Burns, Jr., who was himself a
true poet and n man of profound in
tellectual attainment. This mother and
daughter are the immortal bard's nearest
living relatives. The home is modest
and plain, hut rich in love, sentiment
and the most priceless of human sym
pathies; and have long since come to
love this truly loYabG Scottish home
for the manhood, womanhood and
purity that dwell within it.
They are not rich people these; not
even folk of moderate means; but there
is true nobility in their ever fine and
lofty independence which honors the
memory of the bard whose fame be-
slowed no little homer upon them. Some
one conceived the idea of constructing u
duplicate of the Burns Cottage at Aver,
in which the poet was born, for ex-
hibit6n at the Worlds Fair. This was
all we'll enough. Then some fertile
mind devoid of scnsitiveness or senti-
ment further conceived. This little
family must he coralled, lassooed and
herded in the Burns Cottage to he
catalogued, labeled and gazod at, like Il
| Kaiiir band, Il two-heaGed calf, or the
wild Australian children, by millions of
Worlds Fair visitors. a United States
consul in Scotland has just broke the

| them TO these reputable descendants of
Robert Burns in Dumfries; and the
gentle but dignilicd reply he has re-
ceiyed will undoubtedly be omitted
from his forthcoming consulate memoirs
! to be entitled "RiftS in the Alists of Aud
Reelie."
While on the subject of Burns and
| his descendants it is also an interesting
fact that the Ellisland farm-home OF
Robert Burns has Just been thrown
open to the public. This house, on the
banks Of the sougful NTH, about siS
miles north Of Dumfries, is standing as
sturdily to-day as when its strong walls
were completed by Robert Burns owr
hands. Ii there is to be Burns Cot
tage ut the Worlds Fair, this is the ono
which should be copied, or ut leas
those having the matter in charge SHOULD
recognize the truth that its representa-
ton would infinitely more emphaticallS
memorlze "fair Coila's bard' than
prototype of the Aver cottage wherein
he was born.
This Nith-side cottage is hallowed by
myriad sacred memories of Burns. liz
