Hounds discovered Eox,s Trick.

In the stone wall countries of Ire
land foxes sometimes resort to the
stratagem of running along the top of
the walls for considerable distance,
throwing the hounds off the scent.
There was an incident of this kind
with the Waterford hounds after their
meet at Carrick-on-Suir. A fox
jumped onto the top of a wall at Cor
bally, but Mr.. Pollok was equal to the
emergency and held his hounds along
by the side. Suddenly one of the pack
jumped on to the wall, and running
along the top carried the scent uner-
ringly for mile and half Finding
his tactics of no avail, the fox took to
terra firma, but hounds were now
close on his brush and bowled him
over.-London Daily Telegraph.

Feat of a Greek Scholar.

1t may safely be said that no feat Of
translation in any age has never
equalled that achieved by Prof. Jebb
In rendering Browning's "Abt Vogler"
into Greek verse. This fine soliloquy
OF the musician is less obscure, no
doubt, than many other of its authors
productions, but 1t abounds in imagery
and In turns of thought which even
an Englishman finds 1t not very easy
10 follow and OF which he could hardly
have conceived 1t possible that any
Greek equivalents should exist. Yet
they did exist, for Jebb found them.
though 1t may be doubted whether any
other Greek scholar living would have
been equally successful in his search

Rams had been in use there for

advance of the piles. The foundation
was such that the pillars had to be
driven through the Quicksand down to

On withdrawing some piles, the
points of the latter were found, owing
to the enormous friction, to have
been charred entirely and heated to
such point as to begin burning

SPEAKING "uNDsR THE Rose.-
Varying Versions Of Origin Of Famous
Phrase.

The phrase under the rose" had Its
origin In the wars between the En-
glish houses OF Lancaster and York
The parties respectively swore by the
red or the white rose, and these OPP
posite emblems were displayed as
signs of two taverns. one Of which
was by the side of and the other OPP
posite to the Parliament House, in old
Palace Yard, Westminster. Here the
retainers and servants of the noble
men attached to the Duke Of York
and Henry vi used to meet. Here
also, as disturbances were frequent,
measures, either Of defense or annoy
ance, were taken, and every trans
action was said to be done under the
rose" by which expression the most
profound secrecy was implied. Ac-
cording to others, the term originated
in the fable OF Cupid giving the rose
to Harpocrates, the god Of silence. as
bride to prevent him betraying the
amours of Venus, and was hence
adopted as the emblem Of silence. The
rose was for this reason frequently
sculptured on the ceilings of drinking
and feasting rooms, as warning to
the guests that what was said In mo-
ments Of conviviality should not be
repeated; from which, what was in
tended to be kept secret was said to
me under the rose" Roses were
consecrated as presents from the.
Pope. In 1926 they were placed over
confessionals as the symbols OF ST.
lence. Hence, according to some, the
origin of the phrase.
