when Buchanan Was King.

George Buchanan was a scholar, his
tOrian, contrOversialist and the best
Latin poet of his age. Buchanan was
tutor to Mary, queen of Scots, and to
her son James, afterward James l. of
England. One day he caused himself
to be made king of Scotland, and this
was the way of it: Having observed in
James a tendency to too ready acqui-
escence, he drew up a paper for the
royal pupil to sign. James did so at
once without having read it. The doc
ument happened to be transfer of the
royal authority to Buchanan for fifteen
days, and no sooner had the poet got it
into his possession than he began to
play the monarch, even before the king
himself. James thought the man lu-
matte until the instrument was pro-
duced by which he had signed away
his sovereignty. This incident was
used by the worthy preceptor to illus
trate the days lesson on the response
bilities of mOnarchs.

they pinch him. Finally, when he
dies, as many as can find room sit on
his body, close together, very solemn,
as though engaged in some religious
rite"

Fixed Bayonets.

1t is said that during the siege of
Ladysmith in the BOer war the assault
column of British. advancing in thick
darkness, climbed up an almost pre-
cipitous wall. Once or twice they were
family challenged At last Boer rec
ognized them and shouted to the sentry
to fire on the 'verdOmde roOinekSi' AS
the crest was gained the fire broke out.
A few of the attackers began to reply,
but they were stopped, and the voice
of the commanding officer was heard
to give the order, Elk bayonets!
That there were no bayonets did not
matte. Tie men, taking up the cry,
rushed on the Boer gunners, who fed
at the thought of the cold steel.

The streets of Peru, especially on
gala days or when they wear the spe-
cial dress of some celebration, are said
to be among the most picturesque in
the world. In their narrow proportions
they resemble somewhat the streets of
China. and the variety and contrast of
the colors used in decoration may be
compared with the Chinese. There is,
however, a distinct Latin character to
the decoration, which lends them an
atmosphere entirely their own.
