1oiyrood's Chapel Royal.

Those who lament the results of much of the so called restoration in our ancient buildings will not be sorry to know that Holyrood's Chap el Royal is to be left untouched, for with that crumbling pile are bound up many historical memories. In that chapel the beginnings of Anglo Scottish union were made when at the altar there James ". was unit ed to Margaret Tudor, the "mar- riage of the thistle and the rose" {" There Queen Mary was twice mat ed-to Darnley first and afterward to Boutwell,. Holyrood palace, as we know it now, was mostly the handiwork of Charles IFS crafts men. James II. turned the Chapel Royal into a Romish building. In deed, he wished to restore Holyrood entirely to its original monastic purposes. But he reckoned without the dour Scots temperament, and the vestments and ornaments were ruthlessly torn from the chapel and burned by an Edinburgh mob.- London Chronicle.

The AlIigator's Sleep.

A man who passed himself off as an animal keeper at zoo had one spring an experience with an alli- gator which cost the concern dear. The alligator had not awakened from his winter nap when the keep CT appeared on the scene at the park. He could not understand why the saurian slept and thought it was sick. He punched the alli- gator and tried in many ways to wake it up. He also noticed that the creature did not eat. Finally, growing desperate for fear that he would have a death on his hands, the keeper bought ten pounds of beef, pried open the saurian's huge jaws and poked the meat down his throat with a fence rail. A few days later the thick skinned crea- ture died. The keeper later ex- plained that he did not know that alligators slept in the winter and did not eat anything during their long maps.
