rroaned beneath the generous fare pro.

groaned beneath the generous fare pro-
vided from the private stores of loyal
urgesses-bannocks and cheese, bag
gis and tripe, apples and pears, fish
and flesh, and every other dainty usu-
ally provided for a royal marriage,
with drink to match. Then when they
they had Toasted to their hearts con-
tent like a hailstorm through the for
est, the dance began; and lords and
or not, to keep it going till morning.
The fiddles went. and harpers played.
while guitars twanged accompaniment
to song from Threats of bonnie lassies.
All took part in the entertainment,
and even bow-legged Tam the Tin
man, who could neither dance nor
play nor sing, contributed to the din,
if not the music, by shouting at the
pitch of his leathern lungs, "Ho Jed
darts herer' the burg rallying cry.
When, 10! a change came DER the
scene, and dancers broke off, awe
stricken, musicians ceased their play
ing, and singing girls became dumb.
A spell hung DER them ALL but still
the patter of pair of brogues could
be heard carrying on the broken-off
dance. though no one could be seen,
while the wall of an invisible bagpipe
playing the accompaniment was plain
ly audible The lad with the lang bas-
soon tainted, the kettle-drummers and
fifers followed suit, while the harpers
glowered quaking with terror through
the strings of their silent instruments,
and shut their eyes-on such a sight.
that now appeared.
1t was no human being, yet there it
was, dancing through the hall, cutting
such capers and performing such an
tics that it nearly tumhled over the
Provost. worthy man, who stood in its
way. Then it linked in the kings d.
rection, and even jostled him with its
elbows, to the no small dismay of the
maskers of both sexes, who fed
screaming to the other end of the hall.
1t had a plume of feathers on its
head, as if it had been a baron, while
its attenuated form was attired in a
kilt all embroidered with gold bro
cade, with dainty doublet adorned
with silver lacing to match. But yet,
as have said, it was only thing of
bones-an atomy, skeleton, sight
alike grotesque and ludicrous-a ghost
in kits! 1t lightly trod an airy minuet,
cracking its f1eshless thumbs, and pre-
tending to link with unseen partners
down the floor. 1t danced that night
as surely never before had country
dance been danced, grinning and bow
ing at the same time to the Queen
and her ladies on the dais. who were
speechless with terror; and then, ST.
lent as it had come, it fitted from the
palace and the spell was broken. Then
by degrees came courage back to the
hearts of those assembled there.
Such is the legend of the ghost that
danced at Jeddart legend that is
historically true.-Glasgow Herald.

The ignorance of many people about
the habits and capacities of the blind
is illustrated by question which a
man once asked Helen Keller. AL
though he was scholar and man of
letters, he wanted to know if she en-
joyed painting! A bright boy, who
was a pupil in one of the earliest in
situations for the blind, says Fanny
Crosby,in her Life Story" was vastly
bored by the foolish questions asked
by visitors whom lie had to escort
about the school.
The climax was reached when he
took them TO the dining hall.
Dear mer' exclaimed the wonder
ing dame. "How do you blind folks
ever manage to see the way to your
mouths?''
well. ma'am," replied the boy
solemnly, "ea ,nof us bitches one end
of string to his tongue and the other
to the leg Of his chair. BY following
that he manages to prevent the vic
tuals losing their way"

THE SONG OF AN IT.

noe.")
Of all the different kinds of men
And women that round us fit,
The ones that most tire and rouse our ire
Are they who would always be it.
In affairs great or small or of no count at
all,
They want to be the "whole thing
You can't make 'em shrink, nor let your
self think
And this is the song that they sing:
"Oh, I'll love my neighbor as myself
If he will be good to me,
And I'll never sit down with a tear or
If this he will let me be,
1t, it, it.
Whether or not I'm fit,
III be nice and good and do as I should
If can always be it.
No one must fly quite so high as I,
If they do they may surely drop;
In social life or political strife

For can you not see itewas born in me
To be leader and dethings right?
Twas natures design that / only should
And squelch every other ones light.

But this he must note, to wit:
That l won't play ball or do nothing at all
Unless I'm the one to be it.
Unless I'm the one to be it.

The things that do so well
Doesn't enter my head-why, I'd rather be

Than not ride the top O. the swell.

ers or brothers,

But they must not forget, nor even once let
This slip from their minds-that I'm it,

/ am ever and always it.
1t don't worry me that the world may see
Many things that seem to lack,
The seat up in front is the one that ! want
Let other folks 60 ''way back"
Ii friend of mine takes notion to shine
Or tries to show off bit,
Let it be understood, | shall cut him for
good
Till he feels ashamed to be it.
Oh, I'll love my neighbor as myself,
Provided he has the wit
To not undertake to run his own wake
Even then he must let me be it,

Women Becoming Sensible.

years ago the average sick woman

breathing directions and where to go
for advice upon all these subjects.

Origin of Land Surveying.

The art of land surveying owes its
origin to the fact that the Egyptians
were unable to Keep permanent monu-
ments ON land which was overfowed
every year by the Nile. Under such
circumstances it became necessary to
have some means of re-identifying the
various pieces of land. The instlu-
ments and mathematical methods of
astronomy, with suitable modifica-
tons, were used by the Egyptians for
land surveying.
