FROISSART ON ENGLISH AND
 SCOTCH

Froissart lived in England for many years, and was for a time connected with the Court of Edward III, to
 whose wife, Queen Philippa of Hain- ault, he presented a portion of his his- tory. He alsot spent six months in Scotland, travelling lon horseback with
 portmanteau behind, and followed by greyhound" He had therefore every
 opportunity of observing the traits of these peoples, and the copious details of their manners and customs which the chronicles contain show that he was
 neither a listless nor idle observer. With many of his strictures, needless to say, it is impossible to agree but they are interesting in so far as they
 are from foreign standpoint. He has
 some curious observations about the English people. Tt is strictly true"
 he says. that they are fonder of war
 than of peace,' remark in which the opponents of aggressive foreign policy will find some consolation. He praises the English and Scotch for their brav- cry and stubborn fighting energy. '"They are excellent men-atarms, and whenever they meet in battle they do not spare each other, nor is there any
 check to their courage as long as their weapons endure" His remarks on English character are by no means flattering. The English have "hot and
 impatient tempers," show great
 haughtiness," and "are affable to no
 other nation than their own'; but. as if to lessen the virulency of the forego-
 ing observations, he admits that they
 are courteous to strangers He had
 nothing but slashing condemnation for
 rebellious subjects who tried to trampIe
 sovereignty under foot; least of all for
 English, because fin such a case there is no remedy, for they are the worst
 people in the world, the most obsti-
 nate and presumptuous, and of all England the Londoners are the leaders,
 for, to say the truth, they are very powerful men. and in wealth.
 The Scots fare worse. Froissart tells of a horse having been missed on one occasion, and adds significantly that "a Scotchman (they are all thieves) had stolen him." This may be as gall and wormwood to the patriotic Scot; but if he will sink his patriotism for once, and sternly look facts in the face, he will find that Froissart's comment pretty aptly describes the general char acter of the race at that period of their history. In another part he speaks of the Scots as "a wicked race and pay not any regard to times or respites, but as it suits their own convenience" Although he was relentless in pointing out the foibles of the Scots, he was careful to note their good qualities. The rude life of the Highlanders made a deep impression upon him. He is unstnted in his admiration of their hospitality, and also notes with pride the bravery of many of the nobles.- Gentlemans Magazine.

EXTRAORDINARY CHILDREN.

EXTRAORDINARY CHILDREN. ? The elderly gentleman, looking out of the window in front, perceived two little boots dangling from the branch of high tree, almost against the heaven.
 Who's up that tall tree?' asked the elderly gentleman.
 "Oh, that's Angela. She always reads up there"
 "Bless my soul!' exclaimed the eld- erly gentleman. After further conversation, he walked down the room to examine the view from the back. In gazing across the sea, almost as far as Howth, he de- tected a rock point surrounded with heavy waves, and two little specks upon this rock.
 Tt looks as if there were some crea- lures in danger of being drowned" remarked the elderly gentleman.
 "Oh, not at all. That's Pauline's rock. She and Birdie always go out when the tide is out, and spend the whole day wading there, and they come back when the tide runs out again."
 My God!" cried the elderly gentle man,
 Looking later up to the stable roof, he saw three little golden heads bent over cards.
 What's that?" he blankly asked
 Those are the three youngest, play ing beggar-my-nei on the roof"
 What extraordinary children!" mutt tered the elderly gentleman.--From The Autobiography of Child, Blackwood

The Voice ofthe Bnspipes.

A thing all prongs and bel-mcuthed open
 tips Supplied with air from bellows, cracks, and
 lips, Adapted well to rout all carlslng cares, Converting, Scottish air to Scottish airs With something in its breezy, witchlike
 wall Suggestive of haunting old ghost tale. In 1t the mountain falcons piercing note. The eagles scream, the bleat of hillside
 goat. The plalntlve call of partridge, grail, or
 grouse, The fresh breeze whistling by straw The tril of birds in fern-clad rocky dells, The low of mountain Kline and sweet sheep
 bells. Discerning ears may hearken close and hear The hunters horn with echoes high and
 clear, Soft winds across the heather whispering
 low Or raging amid erags in binding snow; The signs of scented Summer sweet and The raging of fierce spirits of the storm. And rising high above all softer sounds The bark of fox, the deep -mouthed bay Of
 hounds The cries of warriors who in claymored elan Once fought until the streams in crimson
 ran, The wall of women OCT q warriors doom, The etin songs of night-elves In the gloom. The lays of lnnets and the joyous trills Of laughing brooks that caper down the
 hlls, The hymns intoned by waves in mountain
 lakes, The croon of mothers when a babe awakes; All these the Scottish pipes have kindly
 kept, Sounds that fnr aOee past have in them
 slept, What wonder that with them hearts
 laughed or wcpt? T. Edgar Jones in, Springfield Republican.

AN INDIAN LAWSUIT.

First Case Tried by White Lawyers
 on the Tonawanda Indian Reserva-
 ton.
 The first case tried by white law yers on the Tonawanda Indian reserva- tion, since the law providing for courts on the reservation was passed in 1868, is now being considered by the peace makers. This law was drafted by Will liam Tyrrell, of Batavia, and the late General Ely $. Parker, the celebrated cheftain. The white lawyers who en- joyed this distinction were ex-District Attorney James A. LeSeur, of Batavia, and the Hon. Henry Steinor, of Akron. Associated with the former was Indian Wallace Jemison, and with the latter

 Since the skirt that isn't long enough for the present fashions Is back num- Der whatever it's condition as to showing wear, the wise thing to do is to set about planning to bring it up to date. Per haps it can be turned into an over skirt. That can be done successfully in some cases. draping it over a skirt of the proper length and cut with the de- sired spread about the feet. A grena- dine dress in black over orange silk is thus made over for the coming sum- mer. The grenadine drop skirt is being cut little short all around the foot and up the slits with fluffy frills of chiffon. On the orange silk skirt is set a circular fiounce at about the knees. This fiounce trains as far as is needed, and is finished with lot of over f1ounces so that the orange does not get chance to show till at about the ankles. Thus the fact that the orange skirt does not train is not noticed. This dress is going to be charming. The bodice is made up to date merely by cutting out over the shoulder, and making the sleeves lit tie longer and closer than ever over the hand. The moral of it is that what woman has done, woman can do

F.iSHION NOTES.
They,re Not Heavy.

Critics of skirts that sweep the ground as did this pictured one find when they surrender to the established fashion that one alleged fault does not exist. That is uncomfortable weight. sure they were dreadfully heavy, but the facts are to the contrary. There is deal of goods there, to be sure, but the saving in the weight of Things more than balances this. Then when all is said, nothing else has any approach to stylishness. The trimming of this pic- tured skirt was strikingly unusual be- cause the Spanish tlounces and over skirt effects have held to horizontal or vertical lines.

"A process for making fine wool from the limestone rock found in such mex 1austible quantities in the neighhorh pod of Alexandria, Indiana, is a recent dis covery of C. c. Hall, chemist of the steel works at that place, the claim be- ing that, from combination of 94 per cent of the limestone, chemicals, and one of the commonest of minerals, pure wool is obtainable as white as snow. It seems that, while making experiments found that certain kind of material, Instead of turning to quicklime when subjected to fire, would, when combin- ed with chemicals, turn into lava, and when subjected to another process this lava could be rendered pliable and handled like molten glass. From this beginning the process was pursued and a downy wool resulted, with promise of considerable industrial possibilities that is, such rock wool is represented to be as soft and white as that pro- duced by sheep, and can be manufac- tured cheaper than sheep can be raised and clipped, is not affected by fire or water, and the supply seems to be al- most unlimited.

A new definition of science is implied in a story lately told by Canon Mac Coll: "A friend of mine once shared the box seat with the driver of a stage coach in Yorkshire and. being a lover of horses, he talked with the coachman about his team, admiring one horse in particular. "Ah," said the coachman 'but that 'oss ain't as good as he looks; he's a scientific 'oss" "A scientific horse" exclaimed my friend, what on earth do you mean by that?" "T means" replied Jehu, Ia 'oss as thinks he knows a deal more nor he does.'

Cuba is fast recuperating. Customs receipts in Cuba promise to be nearly as large for the year as they were be- fore the war, when business was at it's best. The total collections seem likely to amount to about $12 000, ,000. To un- derstand the significance of this it Is necessary to reflect that the tariff is only about one-half what 1t was and internal taxes have been reduced; the population has been diminished-some say as much as one-fourth, local indus try has been generally suspended for more than two years, commerce vrtu- ally destroyed and the wealth and pur- chasing power of the people cut down in proportion.

< It is estimated that the bicycle side paths to be built in the various coun- ties of Pennsylvania will cost S400 a mile which would mean an annual ex- penditure of $5,oO0 to construct twelve and half miles of path in a county. The paths are expected to be raised twelve to eighteen inches above the road level The minimum width must be three feet and the maximum six feet. Real poets have to sing, especially in spring. Early Myers, a Kansas school boy poet, thus testifies:
 Early every spring I must
 Either poetize or bust;
 Poetry boils in all my nature,
 As hot water boils 8 tater;
 Then I go off alone awhile
 By myself and let her bile.
 Now all natures in q rush,
 1t arn't no sin for me to gush;
 Nature wiggles all in meter
 And I catch the general teter;
 And a child of nature must
 Either poetlze or bust.
