Tho common English delusion that
Scotchmen have no sense of humor is
due to the inability of the English to
understand the Scotch humor, which has
much finer point than theirs. Here is
an incident which is used to illustrate
the supposed density of understanding of
the Scotchman. 1t really illustrates the
fact that his humor is keener than the

TO tree top to be eaten at leisure was
addressed by fox, who came running
up, with:
"Ah, now, but I mistook you for the
eagle and wanted word with You.
The buzzard was flattered and offered
reynard the head Of the hare. AS she did
so the wolf came up and observed:
"Well, we'll, but whoever saw the
buzzard looking SO proud and fierce as
today Really, now, but took you fer
the condor. z"
That ticklcd the buzzard again, and
to show her good will she divided the
body Of the hare with the wolf. She had
said that she must be off when the
jackal came trotting up and exclaimed:
Upon my word, but I must have
dust in my eyes! l was sure that our
friend here was the ostrich, and l was
going to ask her for feather Mrs.
Buzzard, my compliments -
The buzZard grinned and gi9gled and
tried to look shy, and meanwhile the
jackal ate up the other half Of the hare.

Alfred Austin has been appointed
Poet Laureate OF England to succeed
Alfred Tennyson. He was born near
Leeds, May 3Oth. 1885, and took his de.
gree at the University of London in
1853, and in 1857 he was called to the
bar OF the Inner Temple. At the age
OF IL he had published a poem anonv-
mously called Randolph, and is himself
authority for the statement that he
was early imbued with determination
to devote his life to literature. His
first acknowledged volume of verses
THE Seasonal Satire" appeared in
1851. Since then he has published a
large number of poetical productions
and three novels.
He has written for the Standard and
for the Quarterly Review during the
sitting Of the Ecumenical Council of
the Vatican. He represented the Stand
ard at Rome, and he was special cor
respondent of that journal at the head
quarters of the King of Prussia in the
Franco German war. He has also writ
ten number of poetical and contro
versial works. In 1888, in conjunction
with W. J. Courthouse, he founded the
National Review. The work which has
brought him into special prominence
was the prose work entitled 1.-THE Gar

Are You Growing Old, Brother +?

Rev. W. g. Starr, D D., of Rich
mond. one of the leading divines of
Virginia, preached sermon on kissing
last Sunday, in which he took high
moral ground against practice which
some crusty scientists have denounced
for reasons purely hygienic in their
character. 1t was bad enough to be
told that kiss might contain the germ
of some contagious disease, and that
sentiment might be made vehicle for
carrying sickness from the kisser to the
kissee, but to interdict OSCILLATION upon
the ground that it is wrong-a viola
ton of the code of morality-is really
too bad. DR.. Starr says he has no OBJ
lection to the practice when it Is con
fined to husband and wife, parents and
children or brother and sister. But
there he draws the line and proclai.ns
that even first cousins should not be
permitted to kiss each other. Dr.
Starr, it is more than probable, is
throwing his influence in favor of an
reform. The new woman
might. have discontinued the delights
Of oscillation upon scientific grounds,
but the great majority of the gentlcr
sex, who will never be new women,'
will not be in a hurry to see that kiss
ing tends to immortality, and it is quite
certain that the average man will not.
