A Scotch Ring.


The traditional history of the Scotch
regalia ring is of the most tragic, not
to say melancholy, character. 1t is be-
ilieved that it was the favorite ring Of
Mary Stuart and that after her judicial
murder in Fotheringay castle it was
transmitted to her son. From James it
descended to Charles l., at whose coro-
nation at Scone in 1888 it played dis
tinct part Once more did this i'll fated
ring figure at an untimely and ill merit
ed death, for, with almost his last
breath upon the scaffold at Whitehall,
Charles bequeathed it to Bishop Juxon
in trust for his son.
In due course of time the ring came
into the possession of James II. and
was carried away with him on his
flight to the continent. When, however,
he was detained by the fishermen at
Sheerness, the ring, which had been
secreted in the kings underclothing,
only escaped robbery by the luckiest Of
mistakes on the part of the sailor who
searched him. Thus the ring was pass
ed on uninjured to James descendants
till by the bequest of Cardinal York it
became the property of the reigning
dynasty once more and was by them re-
placed among the royal jewels of Scot
land, from which it had been separated
for many long year.-Good Words.

The whippet.

Perhaps no other four footed creature
can run so fast for a short distance as
the whippet. Even that king of all
racing dogs, the grey hound, has no Ii
cense to beat the whippet over the lat
ter's distance. The small fellow gets
to the top of his speed so quickly that
the much larger and really faster
hound is beaten before he can get into
his stride. OF course at any distance
much greater than 200 yards the grey
hound stands without peer
The best of our sprinters do the 100
yards somewhere between nine and
ten seconds, but the springing canine is
able to do almost two yards to the ath-
lete's one. For example, Rosette Ran
mage, one of the fastest whippets that
ever won the Crystal Palace handicap,
ran 200 yards in twelve and half sec
onds, which means that she probably
did the middle 100 in the phenomenal
time of a trifie less than six seconds.
About thirteen seconds are considered
excellent going, but there are a dozen
of the best whippets today that can
consistently shave a fraction off that
figure.-Leslie's Monthly

He was a good little boy, and he
lived not many miles from Boston. He
never disobeyed his mother, he never
called her names when her orders were
not his wishes, and he had the face Of
an angel. Next door lived little Rosy,
girl who proved the proyerb about
small pitchers. One day Harry was
allowed to go over to play with Rosy,
but with strict orders not to take off
his hat and coat to go in the house if
Rosy could not come out into the yard.
Rosy could not come out, but would
not Harry take off his things and play
inside? Harry quoted sadly his moth
,er's injunction.
"Your mamma is silly" said Rosy
GROSSLY.
Harry went home and told his mother
what Rosy had said. "She is very
naughty little girl" his mother de-
tclared. "You must never say such a
word"
mo, mamma, won't" said the duti-
lful Harry
A few days later he was again for
lbidden to do something which he great
ly desired to do. Mamma" said he,
lifting to hers his angelic face, do you
remember what Rosy said about you"

Turkish Educational system.

/ The educational system of the Turks
is not entirely bad, but is mostly for
religious instruction. The mekteb, or
primary schools, are general and af-
ford every boy and girl in the city an
opportunity to learn to read and write
and obtain knowledge of the Koran.
Such schools are attached to every
mosque in the empire. The ibtidaiyeh,
or secondary schools, afford opportuni-
ties for learning geography, arithmetic,
history and the modern languages, but
there are only twenty of these schools
in all Constantinople for million and
more of people. The medresseh, or col
leges, teach philosophy, logic, rhetoric
theology and Turkish law and general
ly take the place Of the universities
found in other countries. They are the
highest educational institutions main
tanned by the Turkish government.

THE Women of Damascus.

The women of DamGscus-that is. the
Moslem women-are more closely veil
ed than those of Constantinople and
other eastern cities because the people
here are more tenacious in the observ-
ance of the ancient customs of their
race and the requirements of their re-
ligion. The wells are thicker. also, and
cover the entire face. Some of them
are figured so that the concealment is
even more complete.
Greeks. Jews and Armenians do not
wear wells, and some of them are very
handsome, particularly the Jewish wo-
men. Their eyes, complexion and hair
are superb. The types of orienta; love-
illness remind you of Solomon's Song.
No women are employed about the
hotels or restaurants. All the "domes-
tic" work is done by men. In the shops
and manufactures of Damascus thou
sands of women and girls are employ
ed, but they are exclusively Greeks and
Jews. No Moslem would permit his
wife. daughter or sister TO appear in a
shop or any other place where men are
employed Chicago Record Herald.

old enough to begin to spend the inter-

TIE CATFISH ZONE.
And the Origin of the Philadelphia
Habit CT Catfish and Wa11es.

And the Origin of the Philadelphia
Habit CT Catfish and WafHes.
While pessimists have been denounc-
ing the extension of the pie belt
through the United States and the en-
largement of the saleratUs biscuit dis
trict, they have been entirely oblivious
of the extraordinary development of
the catfish zone. This mischievous
dweller of the pool is known to the
small boy and the rustic angler under
many names-in one place as sucker,
in another a bullhead, i'll a third a wolf
fish and, most outra geous of all. in
northern Mississippi as shad But its
own only genuine title is catfish The
name is derived from the fact that
when the creature is raised from the
water it emits grunting protest which
poetical fishermen have pronounced
like the purring of family cat.
Philadelphia produced the catfish
habit. For two centuries the animal
was looked at as something which
might be eaten to prevent starvation
until one fine day a thrifty Quaker
found that the catfish would eat boiled
cornmeal and that this simple food not
only fattened the eater. but changed
the color of it's belly from white to
yellow. He perceived the pecuniary
value of the discovery and established
a catfish farm in which he fattened the
fishes which he caught elsewhere and
in due season sold them to the Phila-
delphia markets.
A Quakeress soon after that discov-
cred that the old fashioned waffle,
slightly salted and covered with melt
ed butter, made an irresistible accesso-
~ to the fish when well fried. This
started the catfish and waffies, for
which the City of Brotherly Love has
ever since been famous. The habit
spread like an epidemic, and, like the
star of empire, its way was westward.
So far as is known the United States
government has no record of catfish
and Waffles east of the Delaware river,
but starting at Philadelphia a distinct
catfish zone runs westward. terminal
ing at Denver. reaching as far north
as Minneapolis and st. Paul and as far
south as Mobile and New Orleans. The

tue. 1t is mildly anRsthetic, soporific

If any reader of this article should
ever be so unfortunate as to expert
ence the embrace of boa constructor
it is recommended that he try to re-
lease himself by taking hold of the
creatures tail and unwinding it from
that end. 1t can be easily unwound in
that way, but otherwise it is not possi-
bic. The way to kill snake is not to.
attempt to crush its head, the bones Of
which are very hard. but to strike the
tail, where the spinal cord is but thinly
covered by bone and suffers readily
from injury. 1t is the same with an
eel. Hit the tail two or three times
against any hard substance, and the
eel quickly dies.
The boas are not venomous. but their
fangs are sufficiently powerful to in
fiict serious wounds.
