John O'GrOat's House.

In the reign of James " of Scotland
John O'Groat and his two brothers, Nal
colin and Gavin, arrived at Caithness and
bought the lands of Warse and Dugisby,
near the beach at the mouth of Penland
firth, the northeastern extremity of the
mainland of Scotland. In time their fam
lilies increased until there were eight house
holds of the same name. They lived as
neighbors in the greatest peace and amity,
each year holding a festival in the original
house.
AT one of these annual gatherings the
question of precedence arose among the
younger members, and they disputed as to
who should sit nearest the ''head of the
table" or enter the room first. The old
grandfather, Johnny O'Groat of history,
was made arbitrator He promised to have
all satisfactorily settled by the time of the
next annual meeting. Accordingly he
built an eight sided house in which to hold
the annual jubilee. This octagonal domi-
Gle was fitted with door and window
on each side and round table-in the cen
ter This arrangement made it possible
for each family of the O'Groats to enter by
his own door and to sit at a table which
was practically without II head
This famous house was long a landmark
in Britain and even to this day is one OF
the Englishman's starting points of meas

Now there is scarcely anybody who is

and most speedy cure. Use it by all means.
1t is purely vegetable and harmless.

They SneeZetl In Chorus.

The Rev. X. S. Hawker, in the course of
some "reminiscences of an aged friend of
his, quotes an anecdote which his friend,
himself a clergyman, was fond Of telling.
1t is about marriage ceremony and a
pinch of snuff and in the narrator's own
language runs thus:
1t was always the custom in those days
for the clergyman after the marriage to sa-
lutte the bride first, before any other per-
son. Well, it was so that had just mar
ried very buxom, rosy young lady, and
when it was over l proceeded to observe
the usual ceremony.
But l had just taken an enormous fin
ger and thumbful of snuff, so no sooner
had the bride received my kiss--and
gave her smart kiss for her good looks
than she began to sDeeze. The bridegroom
kissed her, of course, and he began also.
Then the best man advanced to the priv
ilege. Better he hadn't, for he began to
sneeze awfully, and by and by the brides
maids also, for they were all kissed in
turn, till the whole party went sneezing
down the aisle, and the last thing / heard
outside the church door was tchu, tchu,
tchu, till the noise was drowned by the
bells from the tower.-Youth's Compan-
ion.
