First to Wear the Kilt.

The first reference to highland cos
tune occurs in the saga OF Magnus
Barefoot, king. of Norway, lO93-llOS'
written by Snorre Sturluson, who was
reared with the children Of that mon
arch's daughter. Here it is stated that
Magnus and his men, on their return
from marauding expedition to the
west of Scotland, brought with them a
great deal of the habits and fashions OF
clothing Of these western parts They
went about the streets with bare legs
and had short kirtles and overcloaks,
and therefore his men called him Mag
nus Barefoot, or Bareleg. "
In the thirteenth century we seem to
have something like a first reference to
actual tartans in the statutes Of the
church Of Aberdeen, which provide that
"all ecclesiastics are to be suitably ap-
pareled, avoiding red, green and striped
clothing, and their garments shall not
be shorter than the middle Of the leg. Z"
But it should be noticed that the word
tartar" " which occurs in the fifteenth
century in the accounts Of the lord
high treasurer Of Scotland, which was
regarded by both Borthwick and Pink
erton as meaning tartan, really indi-
Gates, as pointed out by DR.. Dickens, q

A BIT of "Bleak House,

By the demolition Of some old houses
IN Catherine street, Strand, and in Dru'

classic spot has been exposed to view
This is the old churchyard which
Charles Dickens graphically described
in "Bleak House." and which is ap-
preached by a narrow passage leading
from Russell court. The churchyard on
the left hand side of Drury lane higher
up has frequently been talked OF as
"Joe's churchyard, but the miserable
burial ground which received the re-
mains Of poor Memo is that on which
the sunlight is now allowed to shine
through the clearing away Of the rook'
cries which previously hemmed it in on
east and west. At the end Of the Rus
sell court passage the gate, with its iron
bars, through which Joe pointed out to
Lady Dedlock the grave Of his benefac
tor, still hangs on its rusty hinges, al
though the graveyard itself has been
asphalted over and turned into a play
ground. Some thousands Of the admir-
ers Of Dickens works, including large
number Of Americans, have visited the
spot within the last few weeks. West

The Game of Dominos,

The inventors Of the game OF domi'
nos were two monks at Monte Casino
One day the inmates Of the convent
were on the lookout for a method ot be.
guiling their leisure moments without
transgressing the rule Of silence to
which they were subject. Two Of their
number hit. upon the device of playing
with square stones covered with dots,
which they showed to each other and
combined in certain order agreed upon.
The winner communicated the result to
his partner by pronouncing In a low
voice the lines Of the vespers, which
commence as follows, "Dixit Dominus
domino meo." The new game soon
sprang into favor and was admitted to
the rank Of lawful recreations. 1t be-
came popular outside the monastery
walls, but the people, with their scanty
knowledge Of Latin, simplified the mo.
nastic formula, only retaining the word
domino, by which the game was after
ward entitled. Monde Picturesque.

Adoption Among Birds.

Modern scientific research undoubted'
" tends to place the ethics Of bird hte
on a higher and higher level Even the
cuckoo. against whom so much has been
written, is now acknowledged to have
been maligned when it was universally
affirmed by ornithologists that it displays
in its tenderest stage Of development
the odious faculty Of ejecting its lawful
occupants from the stolen nest in which
it has been placed. The bishop OF New
castle has now made himself RESPONSE
BILE for a touching little anecdote. Not
long ago, says DR.. Wilberforce, there
was a Frenchman who had large fam
ily and who was haunted by the idea
that when he died there would be no
one to look after his children. While
thinking of this one spring day he no.
ticed two nests in hedge close by each
other. Each contained half fedged
birds. whose parents were lying dead.
He went away sad, thinking that the
Young birds must die. What was his
surprise, however, a few days after to
see them quite happy and apparently
well fed. He stood apart and watched,
and presently he saw the parent birds
of other nests come to the young birds
and feed them. They had adopted the
little orphans, fact which the French
man naturally took as good omen
with regard to his own little ones. -
