Sir John Franklin.

1t was in Warwickshire that made
the acquaintance Of Sir John Franklin,
while was still quito q child. The
stout, good humored gentleman, whose
image appears before mo as write his
name, is associated in my mind with an
event i'll which he took the keenest in
terest-a total eclipse of the sun-but the
amusement afforded by rather absurd
incident connected with it l am afraid
engrossed my childish mind moro than
all the scientific explanations of the
phenomenon which Sir John Franklin
was so well qualified to give.
In those primitive days it was held
that the best mode Of witnessing the OBJ
scuration Of the sun was to watch it
through pieces of smoked glass, with
which we were all duly provided when
we sailed forth to an open piece of
ground where nothing impeded the view.
The result was that in the course Of q
few minutes the noses Of every one pres
ent were severely blackened-uncon-
sciously to themselves-and the appear
ance Of the whole scientific party was
irresistibly comic.
Sir John Franklin appeared then so
full of life and energy and high spirits
that it was difficult to think of him aft
erward as the wornout suffering hero of
that last fatal voyage, which held the
country in suspense as to his fate during
a period cruelty long and trying to his
wife and to all who had relatives among
his companions in the icebound vessels.
Ono Of my cousins was of the mum Der,
and l we'll remember tho sensation in
his home when some of tho relics Of the
disastrous expedition, afterward brought
back, were identified as having belonged
to him. -Blackwood' Magazine.

wealth of the Ancient Romans.

Some Of these Romans seem to have been
very solid, whilo others were fast to
degree not known nowadays. When Caesar
was killed on tho ides of March, Anthony
owed 81, 100000 which he paid before the
kalends of April out of tho public money
and squandcred, according to Adams, $685.
600, 600. Caesar himself, before he set out
for Spain, was in debt to tho extent of
$40, 900, 900. Lentulus possessed $16,-
lao, $50. Claudius n freedman, saved S12,.
500, 600. Augustus obtained from tho tes-
tamentary disposition of his fricnds-some
people will leave their fortunes to their
sovcrcigns-no less than Sl6l, 45S, $3.50.
Tibcrius left at his death tho enormous
sum of Sos. 9Gi, $780, which Caligula is
said to have squandcrcd in % single year.
Vcspasian estimated ut his ascension that
the money which tho maintenance of the
commonwealth required was 81, 764, $50,
000.--Exchange.

THE CANNY scorcHMAN.-
His Vices and His Virtues Compared with
Those of Other Folks

His Vices and His Virtues Compared with
Those of Other Folks.
One is not quite sure that the religi-
osity of the Scotch makes them SO much
more virtuous than people who pay less
attention to "the means Of grace" But
while it cannot readily be proved that
they have more Of the positive virtues
than their neighbors there is at least
some reason to believe that they are
freer from few of the ugly vices than
their southern cousins, although when
the Scot is bad he is very bad. When he
gives way to drink, for instance, he
runs to great lengths. But it will DO
found that there is much less wife beat
ing (there being nothing in Scotland at
all resembling the frightful practice of
"clogging" known i'll Lancashire
towns), much less cruelty to children,
much moro kindliness and fellow feel
ing among tho Scottish people than
among tho English, while ut the Same
time the Scotch are not nearly SO clan
nish as tho Irish, tho Jews or tho Chi
nese.
In his poem on Nothing" Rochester
has classed "Scotch civility" along with
French truth" and ''Hihernian learn
ing" as being nonexistent. Even Walter
Scott causes Mr.. Owen to speak of
typical Scot like Bailie Nicol Jarvie, MS
"that cross grained crabstick of tho
Saltmarket, and are we not told that
the term "Scot" as well as "Gael, do
rived from word for wind" means
"the violent, stormy people?" In spite
OF all this and much moro to tho same
end tho Scot, take him all in all, is not
fairly chargeable with being lacking in
courtesy. The word "couthy'' (the op-
Dosito or positive Of "uncouth, 1" dimin-
utivcd by the addition of tho terminal
"y''), signifying combination of quiet
kindliness and sweetness of manner, has
no English equivalent and thus would
seem to indicate a peculiarly Scotch
quality, which, it may DO said, tends to
wane considerably with the growth of
commercialism, giving place to a brus-
query peculiarly tho outcome of tho
rush of business, and what Carlyle
called the "mere cash nexus'' between
man and man.
Scottish speech abounds in what may
be called pet words, which would seem
to testify that, whether tho Scotch be
stormy and sharp tongued or not, they
can, upon occasion, be as insinuatingly
smooth tongued as the willy Italian him

THERE is more Catarrh in this Sec

eases put together, and until the last
few years, was supposed to be incura-
ole. For great many years doctors
pronounced 1t o local disease, and pre-
scribed local rem edies. and by constantly
failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be constitutional
disease and therefore requires constitu-
tional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,
