Some curious people bent over the mans
shoulder and watched the long, nervous

The man arose. The concert was over.

Dicks Brilliant Scheme.

Dick had no father, and occasionally
the fact worried him. One day his
mother fell i'll and some one incau-
tiously commented On the sad state Of
affairs if his mother, too, should die
Dick said nothing, but he kept up a
great thinking. When his mother was
quite well again, one night at dinner
Dick, who was years old, suddenly
broke the silence with the question,
Mamma, why don tyou marry again?'
When the laugh which this unexpected
query raised had subsidized, his mother
asked Dick why he wanted her to marry.
"Well, ," was his slow response, show
ing that he had carefully thought it all
out, "then I'd have papa, and if you
died he could marry another lady and
she'd be my mamma, and if he died she
could marry man and so I'd always
have papa and mamma. And then
Dick looked gIieved because his family
all laughed harder than they had before

Tiny Winter Gardens.

A pretty miniature garden is made OF
sweet peas. Fill tumbler with water,
tie over it piece of coarse net and COW
or it with peas, pressing them down into
the water. Keep it in the dark for two
or three days, then bring it out into the
light. Pretty soon you will perceive the
roots piercing the net AS the vines
grow up they may be twined about the
window, or still better plan is to
twist wire about the glass. then let it
run up in pieces that curve outward, so
as to form sort of globe above. II the
vines are twisted up these wires, very
pretty effect will be produced. says The
Standard Designer, which describes an
other tumbler garden even easier to con-
struct.
After the glass has been filled with
water cut out piece of cotton batting
or soft flannel to fit the top exactly and
allow it to float on the water. Then
scatter il with mustard, fax or grass
seeds and take IL out of the light. In a
few days the roots will be seen through
the glass and the green tendrils above.

Catherine sinclair and Scott.

There is pretty little story told in
the Dundee Advertiser concerning an
aunt of the present archdeacon of Lon
don and Sir Walter Scott. Catherine
Sinclair, the lady in question, was the
author of q number of works which at
one time were in great request, and one
of which, Holiday House," was re-
Gently published by Blackie. In her
earlier years she was frequent visitor
at Abbotsford, and on one of these occa-
sions, before the authorship Of the
"Waverley Novels" had been publicly
avowed, she presented Sir Walter with
a small engraving of himself, with a
piece of very thin muslin over the face
and the inscription underneath, 1.-The
Great Unknown.

The Name of the Vatican.

The Mons Vaticanus is sometimes
said to have received its name from
vaticinium, an oracle or phophecy, for
tradition says that Numa chose the Vat
lean hill as sacred place from which
to declare to the people the messages ne
received from the gods. 1t is not, how
ever. one of the seven hills on which
ancient Rome was built, but forms a
part of the ridge beginning with the
Janiculus and ending with Monte
Mario, all of which was outside the an
cient limits of the city. In our day the
name is applied only to the immense
pontifical palace adjacent to and con-
nected with the basilica Of st. Peters.
