Some delightful oddities of Scotch
character arc given i'll Wilmot Earri-
sons now book, says The Scottish
American.
Professor Adam Ferguson, tho author
of "Roman History" Mt whose house
Burns and Scott met for tho first and
only time, cschewed Wine 'knd animal
food, "but hugo masses of milk and
vegetables disappeared before him. In
addition. his temperature was regulat-
ed by Fahrenheit and often, when sit
ting quite comfortably, he would start
up and put his vito and daughters in
connection because his eye had fallen
OH the instrument and no was % degree
too hot or too cold" Yet at tho age of
70 he started for Italy with but single
companion to prepare for now edition
of his Roman History" nor did no die
till he had attained tho age of 90.
Another character is DR.. Alcxan-
der Adam, rector of the high school and
author of work on Roman antiquities

voted himself absolutely to tho work of
teaching. III addition to his classes in
tho high school he appears to havo had
for his private pupils some of tho most
eminent Scotchmcn of his day.
Rev. Sir Henry Wildwood Moncrciff.
n member of n Scottish family distin-
guished during several generations i'll
connection both with church and state,
appears to have given wonderful Sun
day suppers. "This most admirable and
somewhat old fashioned gentleman was
ono of those who always dined between
sermons, probably without touching
wine Ho then walked back from his
small house in the cast end Of Queen
street to his church, with his bands, his
little cooked hat, his tall cane and his
cardinal air; preached, if it was his
turn, q sensible, practical sermon, walked
homo i'll the same style, took tea about
5, spent some hours in his study, ut 9
had family prayers. at which he was
delighted to sec the friends of his sonS,
after which tho whole party sat down
to roasted harcs, goblcts of vino and his
powerful talk. -

tcresting hamlet he CHANGED to come
upon little tavern, and being athirst
entered the taprooh for beer. BE it here
known that the traveller was considcra-
bly, above the average III stature, and
this was noticed by two old habitucs
sitting by the fire. Ono of these pres

OUR ATHLETES ABROAD.

The captain Of the Yale team of
athletes, who were defeated in an all

Meat Water,

Every good cook is careful to dispose
at once of the water in which meat has
been washed. Only Il very few hours
are necessary to change it into foul
smelling liquid if the temperature is
suitable. This change is due to little
plant called Bac,crium tcrmo. A drop
of this putrid material under the micro.
scope reveals many thousands of them,
acting under Il peculiar vibratilc motion.
