w. Scotch Poet. VS.

The True Patronymlc Of the Great
VIZ Scotch Poet. w.
In the review OF Mr.. Millar's Liter
airy History of Scotland" in the Spec
tator OF Sept. IL the writer says:
1.-The father of Burns spelt his name,
not Burns or 'Burness, but
'Burnes.'"
There is, think, ample evidence to
the contrary, as appears from the 1ol'
lowing facts: When certain Walter
Campbell moved from Argyllshire to
Glenberyle in the Mearns (klncar-
dinshire) early in the seventeenth CEN
fury he assumed the name OF Burn
house or Burmese. From him the
fourth in descent was William Bur-
ness, the father of the poet.
The family Bible records the mar
riage of william Burmese and Agnes
Brown" in 1857, and myself copied
the name of civilian Burmese" from
the old gravestone in Alloway kirk
yard more than forty years ago, which
has since been replaced by new one.
The poet always signed himself
Robert Burmese" in his letters for
about two years after his fathers
death in 1854 the last extant letter
with that signature being one ad-
dressed to MIR. Aiken, April 3, 1880.
After this date he appears to have
adopted the spelling with which we
are all familiar, Robert Burns."-

The country cousin wasn't born yes

five cents to buy it with-the real

the girl quietly took that also. When
the waiter brought the check for their
dinner the man laid down a dollar

"Shut H."

"Shut in" All, well, my body lies
Confined and pent these walls between.
The while my happy spirit flies,
AS free as WaVelet'S dancing sheen.
Three angels softly press the key
That holds my soul in sOmber thrall.
Then lightly float md whisper me,
Gods mercy and his love for all.
With one, the Angel of the Past.
I tread the paths Of childhood's days.
I laugh and shout and lightly cast
All care aside for childish plays.
I wander through fair orchard aisles,
I pluck the fruitage, red and gold,
Heap boards of nuts in fragrant piles,
And golden hours rich blessings hold.
The Present Angel comes to me,
A wondrous gift within her hands.
Through books we sail on distant sea,
And wander far in foreign lands.
We mingle with the struggling throne,
That toll within the great worlds
With jostling crowd are borne along
TO deepest mine, or mountain tops.
And then the dearest Of the three
Sits down at eve beside my bed.
The angel Of the blest ITO Be-
When all Of life an: light are fled
A future bright she holds in view,
Through lowly doorway hid by sod:
Oh, soul! Be patient, brave, and true:
What glor1es wait who walk with God !!

The Timetable Habit,

Hotel clerks and others who handle
timetables in the bulk are responsible
for the statement that the New York
public has the timetable habit. Every
commuter who already knows to the
fraction of second the time of the
arrival and departure of the trains
on his road carries timetable. People
who do not even commute, but ride
up and down town in street cars, pore
over little timetables and figure out
the hour and minute they will start
if they get chance to go to the part
of the country they would like to
visit. AS for those who really take
long trips, no fewer than a bagful Of
timetables will keep them straight

Phrase Is One of the Oldest in Ex.
istence.

Phrase Is One Of the Oldest In Ex-
Everyone knows the meaning of Sub
rosa," whether acquainted with Latin
or not, but how many are familiar
with the origin of the pet phrase?
says Victor Smith in the New York
Press. l learn from an interior dec
orator who is employed by some of
the heavy swells along the Highlands
of Fifth avenue that it is now the GUS
tom to paint or sculpture roses on the
ceiling above dining tables in rooms
where little or big condolences are ex-
changer. This is a return to the
ancient usage. The rose is the en-
blem of silence. Cupid gave the flow
er to Harpocrates, the god of silence,
to bride him not to betray the amours
of Venus. In the middle ages live
rose was suspended from the chande-
lier when friends talked over secret
matters, and sometimes was placed
over the door, as sign that whatever
was said must be kept sacred. The
banquet room ceiling of Haddon Hall,
of which we have heard a great deal,
is decorated with roses.

Comment Of spuroeon's Auditor Not
Very Surprising.
This story was told of the great
preacher Spurgeon, at the Lotos club
last week, when a group of members
were discussing queer slips of the
tongue.
The late London pulpit orator was
in Liverpool and was asked to visit
mission house and reading room for
sailors. An audience of more than a
thousand salty sons of the sea we're
there to greet him. With a silence
that showed their keenest interest
they listened as Mr.. Sturgeon, with
the dramatic eloquerce of which he
was a master. told them the story OF
Jonah and the whale. He told how
Jonah was cast into the sea, how the
whale came along, and with great i'm
pressiveness, said:
"And Jonah swallowed the whole!"

voiced listener wasn't e fond of

New Idea in Advertising.

The ringing of burglar alarm will
attract attention to particular build
ing rather more quickly than most
other incidents, as every policeman
knows. Some of the burglar alarms
which ring in populous thoroughfares
early in the evening are for advertis"
ing purposes. "No, that amt no bur-
glar, sonny" said policeman to q
man who wondered at the apathy OF
the man in blue when the alarm bell
display was working hard to attract
attention. That's what I call a Pc
riodical. It always goes of at this
time, when folks are coming out OF

Preserving Cork Trees.

So much cork is now used in the
manufacture of linoleum and in ship
building that the protection of cork
trees has become matter of prime
Importance. Italy is taking steps to
this end in Sicily and Sardinia, where
there are large cork forests, those of
Calabra having been nearly destroyed
in the making of charcoal. It is said
that Spain is showing a like interest
in protecting these trees, as the man.
ufacture of corks is large industry
there. Only few years ago the ex-
portation of wine bottle corks from
that country amounted to about S.
100000 annually.
