There was a chorus of dissent from the

You are right" he said. THAT is just

Sweet Scotch Voices.

For real beauty of speech many ex.
perts think that we must go to the
glens that surround the highland capt.
tai. Sir Morell Mackenzie used to say
that the prettiest speakers were to be
found in the Badenoch district Of In
verness-shire. A wider knowledge
would probably have induced him to
modify his views and give the palm to
the glen folk Of the north and west Of
Inverness-shire. The voices Of the
highlanders are set low, and yet the
articulation is clear, distinct and dra-
matte. One inclines to liken their
speech to many beautiful things-to the
clear, mellow note of bell or the MUIR
muir of running water. The infection
Of the voice is singularly engaging, ris-
ing and falling with exquisite cadences
like bewitching music, and this, be 1t
remembered, is the speech of the com
mon people.

ROYAL Gamblers.

Henry VIII. would gamble away
property and money recklessly, taking
his defeats with bluff good humor. On
one occasion he staked the famous
campanile bell of st. Paul's and lost 1t
to his adversary, Sir Miles Partridge,
who insisted on his pound Of flesh and
removed the bell. Queen Mary some
times resorted to cards and was seldom
more lucky than her father, losing oc-
casionally even her lace caps or colts,
which were worth good sum. Charles
II. loved basset and other round games
and would play night after night and
even on Sunday till daylight, while
singers entertained the company from
a gallery. Even the cold William Of
Orange was gambler and liked moth
ing better than to spend the day racing
and the night playing cards.
George III. detested cards and disap-
proved Of playing for money, an aver
sion and opinion in nowise shared by
his son and successor, who is said to
have lost more than 100000 before he
attained his majority.

A Nation Of Smokers.

Notwithstanding all one hears about
the growth of the cigarette habit In
this country, England occupies COM
paratively lowly place as smoking
nation, says the London Taller. Sta
tistics prove that as smokers Dutch
men are well ahead of all the other
nations. Germans come second, al
though, man for man, they consume
less than half as much tobacco as
Dutchmen. Three times as many ciga-
rettes are consumed annually in Eng
land as in either Germany or Holland
but as consumers of pipe tobacco both
these countries are far ahead of us.
