the shores of Dornoch Firth, in the far north OF
Scotland and but few miles from Dunrobn, the

stretches glorious panorama of loch and moors and
hills such you will scarcely match in romantic
Scotland; while the castle ITSELF which Mr.. Carnegie
has largely rebuilt is stately pile, beautiful look
upon and full of historic associations.
To this splendid retreat the millionaire laird loves

happy time with his wife and little daughter

library
Almost than his books Mr. Carnegie loves
music, and OF his greatest pleasures is sit
in the hall of Skibo while the castle organist,
highly paid artist of great SKILL conjures sweet music
from his magnificent organ.

Discomfort has been rife in Montenegro for the
last quarter of a century and has grown from year
to year. Last year Prince Nicolas became alarmed
and granted the country constitution. This was
merely deceptive on his part to create a
favorable impression in other countries and bolster
up his own rule at home. The Montenegrin Parlia-

sitting minority of seven members in the legsla-

AN EXCELLENT THOUGHT.

The following is from 8 leaflet from the pen of Rev H. A. Price, former pastor of the Baptist church in this place: Take the Lead: Men may mis- understand our lives and misinterpret our best motives. But Fear of man may not hinder us from making the most of our opportunities. If we could rise no higher than the station our neighbor chooses for us, few would probably ever rise at all. It is a strange thing, but nevertheless fact, that Wisdom and Ability are seldom recognized by those who envy them in secret A genus is often held in con. tempt by his associates simply because they are fortunate enough to be on familiar terms with him. And people, who know us least, think they know us best, only because they happen to live next door to us. Remember, therefore, that he will be the bravest and most successful man, who is so deeply absorbed in doing Right and Good, that he does not stop to consider what others think or say of him. So Success is very often simply a question of Initiative.-[H. A. Price.
