PIBRocH OF DoNUIL DRU.

By Sir Walter Scott. Pibroch of Donuil Dhu,
 Pibroch of Donuil. Wake thy wild voice anew,
 Summons Clan-Conuili Come away, come away
 Hark to the summons! Come in your war-array, | Gentles and commons. Come from deep glen, and
 From mountain so rocky; - The war-pipe and pennon
 Are at Inverlochy. Come every hill-plaid, and
 True heart that wears one, Come every steel blade, and
 Strong hand that bears one. Leave intended the herd,
 The flock without shelter; Leave the corpse uninterred,
 The bride at the altar; Leave the deer, leave the steer, Leave nets and barges. Come with your fighting gear, Broadsides and targes. Come as the winds come when Forests are rended; Come as the waves comes, when Navies are stranded. Faster come, faster come,
 Faster and faster Chief. vassal, page and groom, Tenant and master! Fast they come. fast they come See how they gather! Wide waves and eagle plume, Blended with heather Cact your plaids. draw your blades. Forward each man set! Pibroch of Donuil Dhu-

 Often Snubbed. From the Philadelphia Press. Why does every one refer to him as a rising young society man% " Well, I suppose that's what he is." But why do they always speak of him as 'rising?"

Oyster Eaters.

'"The professional oyster eater is one who eats the popular bivalve by the dozens for a wager" said Albert. the restaurant man.
 'In Birmingham and every other city where oysters are served fresh in the half shell, we find men who will jump at the chance to get a big oyster feed without costing them anything. They will accept a banter to eat a stated number The man who can out eat the other man, gets his fill for nothing. The second best pays the bill.
 New Orleans Is A great city for the professional oyster eater. In that town he has the art down to a fine point. The only condiment he uses Is pepper sauce and only a few drops of that on every fourth oyster. In New Orleans I saw man eat five dozen on the shell and then after stopping just long enough to take on good jag, he sat down and ate seven dozen-twelve dozen in all I thought that fellow came pretty close to being a hog"

The Sitting Hen.

''Does hen sit or set?' asked man who likes to be funny. There is a good chance for an argument about 1t. Does a sitting hen set or does a setting hen sit? If you set hen will she sit or will she set? When she once sits down will she set there or will she sit awhile? If you try to shoo her away will she set her teeth and sit there? Will she set her mind on sitting there or sit her mind on setting there?"

Why do they do it?

Why do they do it?
 The average man can no longer afford 1n tho large cities to live in an or dinary house. The advanced cost of diving has compelled to live in a fiat.
 There are but 10000 capitalists big and little in this country, and 1O,5O0,- poo farmers. About 3,000,000 belong to the labor unions. There are left about 16,O0O,o00, engaged in gainful occupa. tions, who are average men. The six teen millions are being driven by the high cost of living into fiat buildings where various expenses can be divided with others, and living again becomes possible.
 As the average men are a majority of the republic, they should be able to vote down DinCleyism and the trusts 1t creates and fosters, but the average man IS not intelligent enough fo understand and analyze indirect taxation, and he goes on voting the ticket his father voted, and as result he moves into a fiat.
 There are some conveniences in a flat-an elevator to rioe In, and steam heat when the winds arc laden with frost, and hot and cold water, and electricity in various forms, and mail chutes, but what are such things worth 1n comparison with the freedom, pri- yacy and safety of home!

The Stock Market.

''S OeSSH f'at nSh
 The Financial Age of Saturdays date says: Wall Street is waiting-at least, that is the opinion of those who attempt to analyze the moods of the speculative community, and there seems to be a cer- tain amount of justification for the be- lief. It Is but fair to add that Wall Street is always waiting, although some- times it "hustles' while it waits. It waits for the weekly bank statement. the weather report, crop bulletin, railroad statements and numerous events which it Is popularly supposed will affect the im- mediate or future course of prices. At present 1t IS waiting because it cannot do otherwise, for the powers that be have wisely decreed that the present Is no time to indulge in speculation. Besides, there could be no marked activity with out public support which Is conspicu- ous by It's absence, as 1t has been for the past year.
 Interest at present centers in the con- fiicting weather reports that are being re- ceived from the west A flood of reports of damage by frost and indicating even more serious loss was received early in the week. Temperatures as shown by the weather map failed to bear out such as- sertions as far as actual injury was con- cerned, frosts being confined chiefly to spring wheat states, where practically DO corn is raised. It was the fear of more serious frosts that was chieny respon- sible for the discouraging impression created by these reports. A sharp ad- vance in the corn market gave these pre- dictions some force, while rising prices of wheat were accepted as an admission that the heavy rains in the northwest had caused damage to the grain In shock. Later official weather advices were more reassuring. indicating that general frosts would again be averted while late decline in the wheat market was accompanied by admissions that the damage reports had been exaggerated About Persons.
