WEIR OF HERMISTON.
A Portrait of Lord Braxfield, the Origi- nal of Stevenson's Fearsome Judge.

A Portrait of Lord Braxfield, the Origi-
 nal of Stevenson's Fearsome Judge.
 Old Edinburgh was an amusing place. Life was anything but dull, everybody knew everybody else, there was much good fellowship, there were the best of claret, the best of talk, and the best of stories. The pathetic and heroic mem- ories of the place, it's superb position and surroundings, l1lndled the imagina tion There was an old and famous ar istocracy, whose very names were in- stinct with romance. Moreover, there was high breeding, there was learning, there was genius, for in that strange city during the second half of the last century lived men who have profoundly influenced the thought and literature of the world. Here as contemporaries were Adam Smith, the political econo- mist; David Hume, the philosopher; Walter Scott the future novelist Could living London furnish such a trio? Burns and Smollett were ''resi- denters," though not citizens; and there were crowds of lesser and yet distinguished names. And in this town and among these men there moved the portentious figure of Robert Macqueen, Lord Braxfield. senat tor of the College of Justice, and as Lord Justice Clerk President of the Court of Justiciary, the Weir of Hermiston of Stevenson's remarkable fragment. His day wit messed a social revolution. Before the end of tke century the old mode of life was given up by the more prosperous classes. There was more space, more light, more cleanliness, an advance in every sort of refinement. BraXfield re- moved to George Square: that was his sole concession to the newer time. He was middle-aged when the change be- gan. He was formed by Old Edin- burgh, by its wit, it's learning, it's prej- udice. it's moral and physical grime, it's caustic and racy speech. and it is as a representative of Old Edinburgh that he abides to-day
 His origin was provincial His grandfather was gardener to the Earl of Selkirk, and his father was made a lawyer that he might be baron bailie to

the persecution it had (unlike the Rutherfords) inclined to the Covenant ing interest. It is useless to trace the history of Braxfields descendants, who, through the female line, still hold the estate.
 Much of Braxfleld's table talk owes it's piquancy to the high place of the talker. Sir James Colquhoun, being asked to take hand at cards as his partner, refused unless my Lord prom ised mo to mis-ca' him" 'I'll no mis- ca ye, Jamie," said Braxfield. The game went on; Sir James played badly, and was vigorously cursed as ''fule" and idiot" He taxed his lordship with broken faith. But Braxfield re- turned that he was not miscalled but truly escribed,-Fravin Watt in the New Review

The danes who indulged last season in some of the many imitation seal furs will either be wearing very shabby selections this season or else with tears preparing to put another $65 to SS5 into a new fur of some sort. The Alaska, Paris, French and goodness knows what all seals were pretty to look at, many of them really as pretty as the seal, but they wear even less well than the genuine. The woman who went to the bottom of her purse to get a $65 affair probably feels worse about it now that her investment proves one that served only one season, than does the $400 real seal woman who realizes that she. too, will be shabby this year if she tries to wear her last winters fur without renovation. The girl who bought chinchilla and then tried to wear it all through the cold of last year deserves just the trouble she is in, for she should have known only that one who could have change of furs should select delicate chinchilla, and then should give 1t only very careful wear.

 \ HIND TO-DAY was of the crisis hour preceding a long and per haps fatal illness and how such illness might be prevented and life itself, per haps, saved by Seal BOefgrain, PURE FOOD FOR SICK OR WELL.
 To-day it is of one upon whom un- fortunately such all illness has come.
 Is there not in such case often a time of crisis when the digestive or gans are wel1-nigh paralyzed, the body seemingly incapable of performing its usual functions, mind inactive, no ac- tion and reaction between body and brain, and the issue between LIFE AND DEATH hangs in the balance? Is it not reasonable to believe that, if a PURE, LIFE=SUSTAINlNG FOOD requiriugsthe least possible action of the digestive organs, could be taken in- to the stomach in that most critical hour and that, too, d food like Seal BOefgraiu containing ABUNDANT NUTRITION, that thereby the strength. might be gained to turn the balance for LIFE?
 Several leading New Haven physic- ians are using this pure food with their patients. They say that 1t furnishes nu- triton, and the most sensitive stomachs have retained it. Ill not one case re ported has the stomach rejected 1t.

A novel point in the part of interna- tional law that deals with the exterri- toriality of foreign embassies has just been decided in the Berlin Sheriff's $ court. 4 parrot belonging to the Jap aneese Embassy escaped from it's cage and took refuge on a high tree in a garden next door. To get it down some of the Embassy servants played on the bird with garden hose, and drenched at the same time the owner of the gar- den, who happened to be sitting under the tree. He brought suit for trespass, and received twenty marks damages, the injury having been inflicted on Ger man sail, though the perpetrators had not left Japanese territory.

It appears that substantial progress has been made in the promotion of trade between Russia and Bulgaria. A limited company has been formed at Sofia with capital of 500,000 f. whose special object it is to encourage the importation of Russian merchandise into Bulgaria, and committee of the directors will soon visit Russia to make extensive purchases. It is likewise stated that endeavors are being made to secure markets in Bulgaria, for Rus sian sugar The annual consumption of this commodity in the principality is estimated at about 100000 roubles, and it is believed that under favorable conditions the Russian product could be successfully introduced. A reduction in the freight tariffs of the Lower Dan ubian steam navigation companies will be necessary before Russian trade with Bulgaria can assume large proportions. It is not expected. however, that any great difficulty will be experienced iR that respect.

The Lewiston (Maine) Journal says that the story of a Caribou potato raiser who refused an offer of AS cents barrel for eleven barrels of potatoes, declaring that he would have $5 or nothing for the load, is matched by yarn that comes from Grand Lake Stream of a man who recently went af- ter a calf that he had pastured out all summer and asked what he owed for the pasturing. Well says the farm- CT, "I've got bill of s7 against you, but I will take the calf and call it set tied, providing you are willing" ''No, sir" was the answer. 'I will not do that, but I will tell you what l will do. You keep the calf two weeks long sr and you can have her.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

New York physician says that the
cutlery in both Europe and America
agaiost the excessive use of coffee is we'll
founded; chronic coffee poisoning is
much more common than is generally
supposed. "The symptoms are usually
COMPOUNDED with the alcoholic disturb
ance, because coffee dyspepsia bears a
striking resemblance to alcoholic dys-
pepsia. There is the same disgust for
food, morning expectorations of mucu5
and marked anOrexia- This disgust for
food increases in severe cases, until the
patient can only take coffee, or bread
soaked in coffee. Nausea follows, and
many other ills that flesh is heir to-.
Concerning the same evil DR.. Mendil, of
Berlin, has published a clinical study,
which is the most thorough yet made,
as he has community of coffee drinkers
under his constant observation
working women in and about Essen. He
found that many of these women con-
sumed over pound Of coffee week.
The leading symptoms of the ills that
afflicted them were profound depression
of spirits and frequent headaches and
insomnia. A strong dose of coffee
would relieve them for time when the
ailment would return. The muscles
became weak and trembling. and the
hands shook when at rest The victims
suffered SO seriously that they dared
not abandon the drinking Of coffee for
fear of DEATH
A physician says that everybody
ought to know that the very best thing
they can do is to eat apples just before
retiring for the night Persons unini-
;ofo in hn Of no
liable to throw up their hands in horror
at the visions Of dyspepsia which such
a suggestion may summon up, but no
harm can come even to delicate sys-
tenn by the eating of ripe and juicy ap-
pies just before going to bed. The ap-
pie is excellent as brain food, because
it has more phosphoric acid in easily
digested shape than other fruits. 1t
excites the action of the liver, promotes
sound and healthy sleep and thoroughly
disinfects the mouth. This is not all.
The apple helps the kidney secretions
and prevents calculus growths. while it
obviates indigestion, and is one of the
best known representatives. of diseases Of
the throat Everybody should be fa-
miliar with such knowledge.
Linseed oil is recommended as sure
cure for both hard and soft cOrns. Bind
on soft rag saturated with linseed oil
and continue to dampen it with the oil
every night and morning until the corn
can be removed easily and without
pain.
If castor oil is applied to wart once a
day for month the wart will entirely
disappear. In many cases 1t will not
require so long a time.
Persons who have catarrh or who easi-
ly catch "catarrh cold" find immediate
and permanent relief by shutting lit
tie lukewarm water into the nostrils
every morning after rising, first cleaning
them thoroughly by blowing the nose.
The water may be held in the palm of
the hand and thus applied to the nos
trils. During an attack of cold in the
head this method of treatment will be
found very effective. A little salt added
to the water is very good, and drop OF
carbolic acid is also recommended, but
must be used cautiously.

MICROBES DEVOUR SEWAGE.

A novel disposition of sewage is made
at Exeter, England. The method con-
sists of four tanks, fourth OF the sew
age passing into each. Light and air
are excluded from the tanks, putrefaca-
ton and decomposition are rapidly set
up; the microbes multiply, and the solid
portions of the sewage are consumed,
and the outflow of the tanks are nothing
but slightly colored water, which, after
passing through filters, loses all color and
taste No chemical is used, and no at
tention to the tanks of any sort is need
ed. Each filter automatically cleanses
itself by being out of use for a short
time-London Mercury.

The manner which the long advertis-
ed prosperity has flooded the people by
the election of Mckinley Is, being made
manifest each day since he was elected.
Already nearly all the shoe factories
of st. Paul have closed down, or work
only half time: over three thousand
girls working in the Wholesale Manufac-
turing establishments have beeA laid of.
The Chicago, Milwaukee and St Paul
Railway company celebrates McKinley's
victory by a sweeping cut Of from 10 to
rs per cent in the wages of its en-
ployes. The American Hoist and Der
rick works closed down Indefinitely on
orders from the East, it being member
of trust" in the manufacture of its
goods. The Waterous Engine Works
has done the same; the Twin City Rail-
way Company has laid of large num-
Der of its men; the Northern Pac,hc
Company has reduced the hours of labor
in its shops to eight, and discharged L
large part of it's old employees. 1t can
readily be seen how the creatures and
slaves of the money power have been
duped by the order "all along the line"
the day before election that if Bryan
is elected you need not come back to
work." but now that Mckinley is cleo
ted they are discharged" or laid off,"
again have the American people been
tricked and betrayed into doing the bid
ding of their masters, to be brutally in
suited and ignored, after casting their
ballots for their masters they have been
ruthlessly kicked out, and the screws ap-
piled with another vigorous twist on
their fast diminishing wages. If Bar
mum were alive how he would smile to
see his famous assertion being justified,

shows the greatest increase, is account

the price of wheat is not occasioned by
the result of the election, as the same
