THE HEART OF MONTROSE.
.N~~~


Three of the most famous names in
Scotch history have recently been
linked together. The chain is hung with
pendants of song and story, genera
tons Of daring and loyalty and self
sacrifice and deathless honor.
A few weeks ago Lochiel, chief of the
Camerons, married Lady Hermione
Graham, daughter of the Duke of Mont
rose. A part of their wedding jour
ney was performed on foot through the
Highlands, along the paths which their
famous ancestors had trod in their bat
ties for the king.
From Loeb Arkaig, so celebrated in
all the stories of Prince Charlie, boat
carried Lochiel and his bride to Ach-
nacarry, where a piper, clad in the red
tartan of the Camerons, blew the well
come home for the handsome pair.
At their wedding was announced the
engagement of the brides brother, the
young Marquis of Graham, to Lady
Mary Douglas-Hamilton. The marquis
is the eldest son and heir Of the Duke
Of Montrose. Lady Mary is the only
child Of the late twelfth Duke Of Ham
ilton, and the richest titled single wom-
an in all the United Kingdom.
She is a direct descendant of James
II, King Of Scotland, as well as great
granddaughter Of the ill-starred
Empress Josephine. She possesses mag
nificent estates and residences in diff
ferent parts of Scotland and England,
her favorite of which is Brodick Castle
on the island of Arran, over which is
land and it's five thousand inhabitants
she rules as virtual queen, with the
feudal title of the Lady Of Arran.
The Duke of Montrose, father Of the
brother and sister participating in these
two romantic marriages is still in the
prime Of life His ancestors were ele-
waited to the Scotch peerage in the fif-
teenth century, and the first Marquis of
MontrOse was probably the most bril-
liant soldier Scotland ever produced.
Everyone knows how well he fought for
his royal master, Charles l., and per-
ished on the scaffold for his loyalty.
Last summer the Duke of Montrose
visited the United States on a singular
quest, seeking the heart of Montrose.
The great marquis, before his eXecu-
ton, bequeathed to Lady Napier his
heart, which she had embalmed and in
closed in q little steel case made of the
blade Of the hero's sword. a gold
filigree box and silver urn further
protected the precious relic.
Generations later the urn and its
contents we're stolen, sold to a Madura
chief, and became famous as q tails
man. By curious coincidence, the life
of the son of this chief was saved
from death by descendant of the
Napiers, who availed himself of the
chiefs gratitude to regain possession of
the heart of MontrOse.
His family was arrested in France
during the French revolution, and the
famous urn again disappeared. For
many years the Dukes of MontrOse have
sought to trace the relic, which is now
believed to rest in some private col
lection in the United States.

1t is rare to find the estate Of dead
man anything like what the popular
estimation gave it. "NIillionaires'' die
frequently leaving one-tenth Of their
estimated fortune, while "rich" men
often die practically penniless. 1t is
because in this country people spend
their incomes instead of saving them.
There are things to be said in favor of
this custom. 1t keeps money N con-
slant circulation and provides employ
ment for many who would otherwise
have none 1t tends to prevent the ac-
emulation of great fortunes, of which
there are fewer in this country than is
generally supposed. Still, it sometimes
leaves q family without much to live
upon The foreign custom is to esti-
mate fortunes only by the annual in
come, and few spend more than their
income and most of them are anxious
TO add to the principal.

Many Of the great mines of the West
were developed by men who had com
parativeIy little capital The Aspen,
which has yielded about $23,0O0,OOO,
gave its fortunate lessee $4,000 in
forty-five days. He had spent only S.
600 in opening it, The Hecla Of Burke
Idaho, was opened by six dairymen
who a few weeks ago refused $2,67O,0OO
for it. Ex-senator Thomas Kearns,
general manager Of the Silver King,
which has paid $1O,5O5, 600 in dividends,
says that it cost $4,000 to put the prop
erty on paying basis. He and his
partners had nothing but their wages
and savings from them when they be-
gan to develop the mine.

Four-ffths Of the civilized world live
by timetable. The clerk, the student,
the teacher, the factory worker, the
nurse, the cook, the doctor obey the
clock with precision the year round.
For them procrastination Is disaster.
Great establishments, with hundreds Of
employees, reduce punctuality to a sci
ence, and record by the time-clock ev-
cry late arrival. The SchoolmiStresS
who enforces promptness on her pupils
must be even more stern with herself.
Devotion to the schedule Is essential to
our method Of closely ordered life-the
waste not, want not OF our fore
fathers applied to time. But 1t Is wear
ing to ordinary human weakness, and
it is no mark Of moral incapacity to
long to escape from 1t. Indeed, one
of its worst effects is that its victim be-
comes addicted to it. The tired sales
woman plans her vacation hour by
hour, with the sense that only SO can
she taste the whole of it. The teacher
constructs an itinerary for her Euro
pean trip so exact that she can tell you
where she will spend every night of
the two months. Yet If the vacation
is a short one, it should be passed
away from time. The refreshment Of
freedom from the tyranny Of hours and
minutes is incalculable. Not to know
the time Of day save by the sun is to
be ones own master. To be late for
everything that does not count and
early for everything that does Is the
supreme vacation privilege. The bell,
the gong and the steam whistle should
all be banished from the real vacation,
and even the ticking of the clock may
be forgotten. Times marches forward
only by shadows on the grass or rosy
fingers on the cloud. Thus for two
weeks may the liberated spirit enjoy
the freedom Of the whole solar sys-
TEN.

were never higher than they arc nows
but the farmer apparently is not able
to pay enough money to induce COM
petent help to work on the farm. There
are many reasons, but the principal one
is that the factories are running full
time and employing labor freely at
high wages. OF course there is tramp
element that will not work under any
circumstances or for any amount Of
pay. Tramps are aggravating fellows
at the harvest season when every farm
er has two days work to do every
twenty four hours. Every year the
tramp nuisance comes up for discus
sion. 1t may be that some scheme can
be devised that will compel all able
bodied men to work for rations, and
1t might be a good thing. Kind-heart-
ed women on the farms are to blame
for good deal Of tramping. So long
as they are willing to feed this idle
class, Just so long will they have them
to feed. Tramps have a sort Of So
ciety. They tell each other where hand
outs may be had for the asking and
where cross dogs are kept and other
information that Is useful to the broth
erhood. 1t often happens that worse
information than this is handed
around. There is a criminal side to
tramp life that should be taken into
consideration by every woman who
hands out a free lunch. It Is hard
sometimes to turn a person away hum
CRY, but it is worse to encourage a set
Of fellows who are likely at any time to
waylay women or rob a hen roost.
Barns are burned because tramps sleep
in them, and a good deal Of mischief is
caused by these miserable idle rascals.

To cut a glass tube, the neck of a
bottle or other round body of glass
take a piece of flint and scratch a
line around the place where it is de-
sired to cut the glass; then wind a
thread dipped in sulphur two or

fire to the thread and allow it to
burn. When the glass is heated

CHINESE PoLITENESS.
Il Is Large Part of the Very Life of
the People.

If there be one thing more than
another upon which the Chinese
pride themselves it is upon their po-
likeness. In spite Of the three or
four inches which he lacks to make
his height equal to that of the aver
sge American, a Chinese official In
full costume carries himself with
great dignity and self possession
and makes an imposing figure. In
this respect he owes much to his
long dress, but more to the patient
study Of correct carriage. There
Is not a single awkward movement
as the Chinese gentleman bows his
visitor into the house or supplies
him from his own hand with a cup
81 tss, which is indispensable to an
interview. Not until his guest is
seated will the Chinese host venture
to take up his position on the right
hand of the former, and if in the
course of an excited conversation he
should raise himself, however slight
ly, from his position it n the duty
Il the other to do tbs same. No
Chinese gentleman will sat While his
equal stands. Occasionally, where
it il not intended to be over respect
full TO a visitor, q servant will bring
in cup Of tea cup In each hand.
Than, standing before his master
and the guest, he will cross his
arms, serving the guest, who rs to
the right, with his left hand, his
master With the right. The object
of this is TO expose the paim-fn
Chinese the heart-of either band
to each recipient Of the tea. 1t IS
a token Of fdelity and respect.
This tea IL not intended for
drinking and is called ~gueSt tea"
It has a higher mission than to allay
thirst. Unfortunate Is the man who
losses his of before ten words have
been exchanged. The oriental will
stamp him as = barbarian. The
mission of the tea is TO be used by
either party az a signal that the in
terview is at an end. \ guest no
sooner raises the cup to his lips than
the voices of dozen shout to his
coolies to bring his chair So, too,
when the master of the house Is
prevented longer acting as host he
raises the cup to his lips as if to
drink the tea. and Immediately the
guests chair IS called for.
Strangers meeting in China may
freely ask one another their names,
provinces and their business pros
poets. 1t Is always considered a
compliment to an old Chinaman to
ask him his age, but the middle
aged do not as a rule care for the
question, and their answers can rare
" be depended upon. 1t Is also good
form in China to ask the number
and sex of d mans children; also if
his father and mother are still alive.
His wife, however, must not be men
toned, even in the most indirect
manner. Friends meeting, either or
both in sedan chairs, stop their
bearers at once and get out with all
possible expedition. The same rule
applies to acquaintance meeting or
horseback.-New York Herald.
