A Novel Advertising Scheme.

An ingenious German bicycle manu-.
facturer has invented the following de-
vice as an advertising scheme: He has
published a notice in the daily press,
according to which he promises to give
q high grade machine and a bicycling
suit to any one who pays l cent spot
cash; but, according to the agreement,
the purchaser mus pay for two weeks
the double of the amount that had been
paid the preceding day. 1t is but a SIM
pie problem in arithmetic to discover
that at the end of two weeks tie bicycls
and suit will have cost something over
$3.50.
Ingenious advertisements, as will be
seen, are nor confined exclusively to the
United States. Exchange.

DIR. johnson and Macpherson.

Though not the most virulent, Dr..
johnson was certainly the most formi-
dable of Macpherson's opponents. He
threw all his influence into the scale
against the poems. He uttered the die
tum that Gaelic was the rude speech
OF a barbarous people, who were con-
tent, as they conceived grossly, to be
grossly understood" This argument, it
is true, would have carried more weight
If the doctor had possessed an elemen-
tary acquaintance with the Gaelic Ian
guage. There seemed to be nothing
more to be said fer the antiquity of the
poems when johnson laid it down that
there Tas not a Gaelic manuscript in
the world 100 years old, and there could
be no polished language without writ
ing" And besides, whether ancient or
modern, whether by Ossian or Macpher-
son, the poems were worthless. They
We're mere ''bombast and fustian." It
was "easy to abandon ones mind to
write such stuff"
Maopherscn's reply to johnson was to
send a challenge to fight, couched, it is
said, in the following elegant piece Of
Latinity:
Maxine, 81 tn Wis, cupio contendere
tecum."
The doctor answered by purchasing a
stout oak cudgel and issuing an ultima
tum, in which he said, Il hope I shall
never be deferred from detecting what
l think a cheat by the menaces Of 4 ruf-
fam" Though Macpherson sulked in
his tent and made no detailed reply to
his critics and accusers, one Of his back
ers kept up the spirit of the controversy
by a retort, in which he made a three
fold classification Of liars into ordinary
liars, ID liars and literary critics.

The Colcr of Mary's Hair.

The exact tint of the Scottish queens
hair has been always Il vexed subject of
discussion. Some give it an uimitigated
red-Michelet, for instance, who so far
forgets himself and history as to call
the poor lady q great red camel. Others,
siding with chivalrous Sir Walter, bold
ly cEGow their martyred queen and mis-
tress with rich dark brown ~tresses. It
should not be forgotten, however, that
red hair, even modest auburn, suffered
a severe eclipse during the early years
CT u century, whereas, under the Va
lois 10 Ono with any pretensions to ele-
gance could be seen wearing it black.
In this particular at least Mary Stuart
must have had the advantage of Queen
Margct, who inherited her fathers dark
coloring and was reduced to dissemble
natures shortcomings by the peru
quler's art.

lackeys kept in her service and brought
