Adam Ferguson.

Adam FERGUSON, afterward professor
Of history in the University of Edin-
burgh and author of once popular his
tory of the Roman republic, in his
youth was chaplain of the Black Watch,
and with ii was present at Fontenoy.
When the regiment was advancing into
action, Sir Robert Munro, the colonel,
noticed his chaplain at the head of the
column with a drawn broadsword in his
hand and ordered him to the rear with
the doctors
Ferguson refused, and when the colo.
mel, in the alteration which ensued,
threatened to have his commission can
celed. replied, oh my commission. "
Then charging at the head of his flock,
he fought like gallant Scotsman dur.
ing the bloody fray. We doubt not that
the stout Munro forgave his insubordi.
nation for the sake of his valorous ex.
ample, and that the stern old Presbyte.
rians in the ranks would appreciate his
subsequent ministrations none the less
that they had seen him in time of trial
play the man in their midst. Black

nounced jana, ava, and so on, even
by educated Canadians who write per-
feet French. When the ancestors of
Jean Baptiste sailed from northern
France these words Were spelled jamois,
avois, and the pronunciation has not
changed with the photography. In some
proper names, such as Beauharnois,
even the spelling remains unaltered.

Does the Moon Affect Insomnia?

''The most singular case of insomnia
of which / ever heard" said Il well
known physician, sis that of friend
of mine in a neighboring town, lady
of middle age.
with the exception of her peculiar
insomnia, she is in robust health. She
is an uncommonly sound sleeper in the
dark of the moon, but as the new moon
approaches its first quarter she is at
tackled with wakefulness She can sleep
only at long intervals during the night,
and only few minutes at time
1.-THE sleeplessness increases with the
fulling of the moon, and by the time
that stage in the moons course is
reached she is unable to obtain even the
slightest slumber She remains in a
state of utter wakefulness until the
moon begins to wane, when she gradu.
ally grows sleepy again.
when the period of dark moon has
arrived, she resumes her unbroken slum-
Der. This condition has prevailed for
more than ten years Pearson
