Raleigh Finger Marks.

1t is now 500 years since Sir Walter
Raleigh lived in Ireland, but, according
to Sir John Pope Of Honlcssy many
traces of his residence there can still be
seen. The richly perfumcd yellow wall
flowers that he brought to Ireland from
the Azores and the Affune cherry are
still found where be first planted them,
by the BlackWater.
Some cedars he brought to Cork are
to this day growing at a place called
Tiyio. The four venerable yew trees, the
branches Of which have twined and in
terminglcd into a sort of summer house
thatch, arc pointed out as having shell

of the thirteenth century surrounds the

Amorg the popular drinks wero mad
dog aud dragon milk. Their main con-
stituent was ale Of different degrees of
age and strength favored with ginger
and similar hot stuff. Mad dog vas the
stronger of the two, 1t was popular
among gentlemen of ancient Pistols
stamp, who usually wanted something
to grip their threats and PIT fire into
tleir eyes. Topers owe a great deal to
this same mad dog. He it was that ia
troduced the custom, popular in other
lands besides England, CT easing the ef-
fects of overindulgence By taking "a
hair of the deg that bit you"
The fastidious Blitcn Of the olGcn
times was also mighty hard to please as
to the qualities of wine. We find record
of his nicely in this regard as far back
as the twelfth century. An old manu-
script in the British Museum tells us
what wine was most rrized:. at should
be clear like the tears Ct a penitont, 50
that a man may see distinctly to the
lotion Of his glass; its color should
represent the %greenness of a butlalo's
horn; when drunk, it should descend
impetuouslv like thunder. sweet tast-
ed, like ak almond; creeping like a
squirrel; leaping like a roebuck; strong
like the builG.ng of a Cistercian monas-
terry glittering like a spark e fire; sub
tie like tie logic of the schools Of Paris;
delicate as lne silk, and colder than
crystal"
If the Enelishman of that day was
able to rccuro this celestial liquor, lie
was more fortunate than recent topers
and tipplars have been in the triune
kingdom. Ell modern travellers can tes-
tify that 10 such wine is to be Ea1 HOW,

The remodelcd Sccord church. that Of

marked Il lawyer the other day, "but it
is true, nevertheless, that there are men
in the city who are getting rich by eS-

This is the way they do it: A cheap
shop is rented and fitted up as a restau-
raj at a cost, say. of $3.50. Food val
ucd at about 500 is purchased, and
some judicious advertising is done.
More food is sold for the money then
than customers can get anywhere else
in the neighborbood. The result is a
crowded restaurant, though the pro-
prietor is losing money steadily. When
he has a first class line OF patrons and
he appears to be doing a big business,
he advertiscs the place for sale. III

usually sells his place for $1,000 or
81, 500, half in cash. His investment
has not been more than $500, so he
clears from $500 to 81, 600. Of course
the place proves Il failure, and the pur-
chaser loses his money. The restaurant
starter, however, moves to another por-
ton of the city and repeats his enter
prise
The lawyer said that he recalled one
mar in particular who had started no
less than ten restaurants in the last six
months, all Of which he sold. With two
exceptions the places did not pay, and
the men who bought them were COM
