Why was ST. Andrew selected to be
the patron saint Of Scotland? This ques
tion has exercised clerical and lay curl
osity, but has not been satisfactorily an

by the archdeacon of Calcutta at din

becoming the rage for the future gen-
Grafton to initiate the actions of their
older brethren, but young Roncoe is
one of the boys who not only initiate
but originate, and it is said that some
of the tricks he successfully negotiates
on his wheel are wonderful to be-
hold. Despite his extreme youth, he
essays to follow in the wake of the
leading trick cyclists of the world, and
few indeed are the 'acts" that he call
not perform. He has overmastered
gravitation, and apparently de1es that
fundamental law of philosophy without
the slightest difficulty.
Many exhibitions have been given in
public during the last year by Master
Roncoe and everywhere has he been
pronounced prodigy beyond ques-
ton. Besides his ability as trick
rider, Harry has more than little
speed In him, and has, in a half-mile
exhibition ride, covered the distance in
1 minute 81 seconds His appearance
has been confined to the New England
States, but owing to the solicitations Of
many who have seen him his father will
probably show him around the United

FALL OF THE FETISH.

Destruction of the Sacrificial Grove
of Ashantis by the English.
Although the Ashanti war waged by
the English against King Prempeh is
thing of the past and other African
events are rapidly crowding 1t out of
mind, there Is one incident connected
with the demolition of Prempeh's king
dom that is worthy Of reference. This
was the destruction of the sacred grove
of the Ashantis, situated outside the
capital, Coomasie.
Here thousands upon thousands of
human beings have been sacrificed to

A ROBIN.


What art thou doing there
Robin, sweet Robin,
On yonder bough SO bare,
Singing, or sobbing2
Through the long summer days
Heard vert thou rarely:
Lark, thrush and nightingale
Oustsung thee fairly.
Now, when lark, thrush and all
Silence are keeping.
Skies like leaden pail.
Mist undercreeping,
Where the dark yew its shade
Over ehurchyards is flinging,
Thou sittest and singest.
Oh, what art thou singing'
1t is not of love;
Love needs one to hear 1t.
1t is not Of life;
Death and tombs are too near IL
And 1t Is not in hope,
With the long days before us,
With the limitless scope,
And the woods sweet in chorus.
But when all else Is still,
Or winds only are signing,
Leaves falling around thee
Decaying and dying,
When some fire yet unknown
In thy warm heart is throbbing,
Thou sittest and singest there,
Robin, sweet Robini
Gay Of heart, cheerily,
Gliding our sadness;
But, oh, there are tears In thee,
Bird, in thy gladness.

A weaseTs Hypnotic Power.

= A London correspondent writes: A
friend on whose word can rely told mo
the following: He saw a lark flying
above the turnpike road, futtering some
four or five feet above the ground in
evident distress. AS he looked he saw a
weasel in the middle of the road waiting
for the bird to come down. This it did,
falling helplessly close to the animal,
which killed it and carried it away.
This incident seems to show that q
weasel has some fascination in his eye.
