the other five which was in his

PAGANS IN SCOTLAND.
Nails Driven Into an Ancient Oak
Tree as Offerings by Invalid
Pilgrims.

Nearly all travellers in central
Africa have referred to the curious
customs prevalent among almost all
pagan native tribes, of driving guam,
titles of nails into sacred trees and
other objects that have been adj
judged worthy of veneration; and
this not in malice, but as a religious
rite, the nails in question being in.
tended as votive offerings, says Stray
Stories.
Exactly the same thing may be
witnessed to-day at the sacred well
of ST. Maebrubha, in loch Maree,
Ross shire, where is an ancient oak
tree studded with countless nails of
all sizes, the offerings of invalid pill
grims who came to worship and be
cured.
Pennies and half-pennies also are
to be seen in enormous quantities,
driven edgewise in the tough bark;
and a friend of the writer's who Wis
tied the spot some little time back
discovered in a cleft high up in the
trunk what he took to be shilling.
On being extracted, however, it
proved to be counterfeit. Probably
the donor, finding that he could get
no value for his coin in the natural
world, concluded he might as well
try, as a last resource, what effect
it might have in the spiritual.
Of course, the poor cottars and
others who flock to St. Maebrubha
with their nails and their pence do
not for moment admit that they
are assisting at a pagan ceremony.
But they most undoubtedly are.
Well worship has always occupied
an important place in paganism; and
the sacred oak, before which each
pilgrim must thrice kneel ere humbly
presenting his offering is it
but an obvious survival of the sacred
groves of druidical times?

CHAPTER II.

I gave the young woman her early
dinner, and then left her to rest for
the afternoon. I had little time to
spare for strangers, and so long as
I gave her what I had bargained to
give, I felt that I could not be ex-
pected to do more. When Badly Tow
ner returned from the store, I set
him to work cleaning the shoes that I
had brought out from the lower
front. He was not over-pleasant about
it but I saw that there might be much
of it to do, SO I was firm, in the very
first instance. / said:
'Baldy Towner, you need not look
so unpleasant. Those are the shoes
of my boarder who came to-day. She
evidently roams about the country a
good deal, and doubtless her boots
will often be muddy, perhaps worse
than they are to-day. They must be
cleaned, and
"Why sh'd I do it?" returned Badly
Towner Grossly.
I might have returned, "And why
should -" but I said, "Who else is
there to do it?-Miss Jane Mary?"
The humor of the second part of
my sentence seemed to strike Badly
Towner as a huge joke. He really
laughed for the third time that
year.
did not smile, however, put on
my most severe expression. 81 have
enough to d." said I, without clean
ing shoes. I am sure the Judge
never anticipa-''
81 don't spose he did," said Badly
Towner. ''Then why didn't the
Jedge leave We more wealthy OFF,"
"That's enough, Baldwin Towner,"
said I. 'I'm tired, and worried, and
$50 be I. But I'll clean them shoes,
if we say so, Miss Brathwaite."
''Thank you, Badly Towner," said
I, and fled incontinently, for fear
that he might change his mind.
I gave the young woman her tea
in the dining-room across the hall.
She seemed very well pleased with
the young chicken and the nice rhu-
barb sauce, the rhubarb for which
[ had cut from the kitchen garden. I
was low in my mind about that young
chicken, but I had forgotten meat
for tea when [ sent Badly Towner
away SO hurriedly, and that chicken
had to be sacrificed. Well, I had sac
rificed more in my life than one little
pullet, and probably I should be
called upon to make much greater
sacrifices.
My guest was retiring early. I
heard her bolt her door by half af-
ter eight o'clock, and I, weary with
my days work, went upstairs to my
room over the parlor. Aunt Jane
Mary rang her bell just as I had
closed my door-her room was
across the hall from mine-and /

put out my light and lay down, but
[ could not sleep. The moonlight
streamed full in my face. I hid my
eyes in the pillow; I pulled the sheet
up over my nose. There was no use
trying; must get up, tired as I was,
and close the blinds. I raised the
window very softly SO as not to
| awake Aunt Jane Mary. I stretched
out my. hand for the hasp of the

the sound of voices.

erosity is double grace. Let us give it
to the honor of His name. Let us give
to make larger the possibilities of our
Christian service. Then with such an
edifice standing before men as an ex-
ponent of the larger life of faith and
love, we will move on from this hour to
larger things for Christ. And when
your life work will be finished,
and to this house all that is mortal OF
you will be borne as you perhaps have
borne many another, and some man of
God shall use your life as a text from
which to Adde'S the living may it be so
that there shall be nothing in the text
but the graces of the spirit of Christ.
Then there will be no regrets for him or
you. Then shall men be constrained to
say, such are the men and women who
make the church the very power of God.
Through your influence, your love and
sacrifice, they shall give glory to the
God of Heaven"

Another ridiculous food fad has been
branded by the most competent author
tiles. They have dispeled the silly
notion that one kind of food is needed
for brain, another for muscle, and still
another for bones. A correct diet will
not only nourish a particular part of the
body, but it will sustain every other
part. Yet, however good your food may
be, its nutrment is destroyed by ind:-
gestion or dyspepsia. You must pre-
pare for their appearance or prevent
their coming by taking regular doses of
Greene's August Flower, the favorite
medicine of the healthy millions. A
few doses aids Indigestion, stimulates
the liver to healthy action, purites
the blood, and makes you feel buoyant

able remedy at c. G. Cases. Price, 25c
