One of the Best of
Ian Maclaren'S Stories

Mr.. Beecher's funny story of the
loaded" drummer which the Journal
published last Sunday reminds me
that good stories have no local habita-
tion. Ian Maclaren, in his interesting
experience of Drumtochty, brought to-
gether under the title of AUD Lang
Syne," tells story of "Jamie" Soutar,
who possessed a nippy tongue, which
he was very fond of exploiting at the
expense of humbugs of all sorts. DR..
Watson says one of Jamie's most fell
cItous strokes was his guileless re-
Spouse to the humiliating invitation of
a lay preacher, who had secured the
Free Kirk for an exhoration meeting
TO wake up Drumtochty to a sense Of
its sinful condition, not being aware
that the people of that village carried
their religion deep down in their souls
and not upon their sleeves.
Now, my dear friends, said the
exhorter, all who wish to go TO heav-
en-. stand up and Drumtochty rose in
a solid mass, except Lachlan Camp
bell, who considered the preacher ig-
norant Of the very elements of doc
trine, and Jamie.

Home Remedies.

The following simple remedies are
given for the benefit of those who
have formed the habit of taking pat
emit medicines. Everybody is advised
to give these remedies a fair trial;
they surely can do no good and may
do some harm:
To Cure Toothache-When tooth
begins to jump tie same down by
means of stout rope, SO that jumping
is impossible. If tooth continues to
ache go to some dentist who has a
pull.
To Cure Insomnia-Shut your eyes
and count gray sheep, which you must
imagine you see jumping over pair
of bars. Count from sheep No. l up
to sheep No. 57,432 BY that time it
will be daylight and you will be
obliged to get up.
To Relieve Distress After Eating
Stop eating.
To Remove a Wart-Try filing 1t
off and If the wart does not succumb
to this use a stump puller. If this
fails try saying words over it, but
don't swear so hard that the neigh
bors will hear you.-Ohio State Jour
nal.

II is known that the Hope diamond
was recently sent to Senator Clarks
office at No. 40 Wall street, and that
he examined 1t with great interest
While he has never been known as a
collector of rare gems he is known in
Europe and America as a large pur-

The Hope diamond came to the
United States on Nov. 26, 1901.
Il was brought over by Simon Frankei,

was brought in the safe OF the Ger

Louis XIV. the Kohinoor OF the
French crown.
The Tayernier diamond was bought
in india in the early part of the eight
zenith century by a French traveller,
1t was said at that time to have been
one Of the royal jewels of the Pha-
raohs of Egypt AT any rate, 1t was
brought to France and sold to the
king.
In 1892 1t WIS seized by the revolu.
tionists along with the other crown
jewels and placed in a strong box in
the Gardemeuble. From there 1t was
stolen more than 100 years ago, and
no trace of 1t has ever been found. In
1880, however, trader named Dan
lei Eliason appeared in London with
a blue diamond about half the size
of the missing Tavernier gem, Of
which he could give no history. This
was sold to Henry Thomas Hope.
ancestor of the present Lord Hope.
In 1874 there turned up in Geneva
another blue diamond, exactly match
ing the Hope diamond in size and
color, and experts believe this gem,
known as the Brunswick diamond,
and the Hope diamond, are the halves
