The Scotch Sabbath.

An English artist travelling profes sionally through Scotland. had occa. Glfon to remain over Sunday in a small zsown in the north. To while away the time he walked out q short way in the environs, where the picturesque ruin of castle met his eye. He asked a countryman who was passing to be so good as to tell him the name of the castle. The reply was somewhat start ling. "It's no the day to be asking sic things!'
 Another good story of Scottish ob Hervance of the Sabbath is told by a clergyman. "A minister of the kirk declared in public that at a country hotel he wished the window raised so that he might get some fresh air. but the landlady would not allow 1t. saying, 'Ye can hae no fresh air here on the Sawbeth'"

There was a story told of one of the worlds great vocalists singing as a young girl at a private house. She was overwhelmed With praise. By and by says the London News, she came and sat by an elderly lady, who congratu. lated her on the way she had sang, but ventured to offer one or two suggcs, tions. The young singer treated the hints with scorn and afterward asked the hostess who "the old lady" was who had dared to give her suggestions. "Oh, that was Mime. Goldschmidt," re, piled the lady. And who Is Mme Goldschmidt" was the next inpatient query. Well, she's better known as Jenny Lind" said the hostess.

4 Frou of Peculiar Habits,

South America has a frog of peculiar habits. Dwelling in the virgin forests, at the tops of the highest trees, it chooses as site for its nursery some hollow stump and then proceeds to line 1t with resin procured from trees in the neighborhood. This lining serves to catch and hold the rainwater, with which it quickly becomes filled. AS soon as this takes place the eggs are laid therein, and here they undergo de velopment into tadpoles. How the re, sin is collected is mystery, nor is il yet known how the separate pieces be come welded to form the water tigh1 basin necessary to insure the safety oi the treasures deposited therein.

But this tradition is founded on nothing more substantial than folklore tale current among them that their ancestors came over the big salt water hundreds of moons ago.
