A FAMOUS KEY.
It Was Thrown Into Loeb Leven When
Queen Mary Escaped.


The interesting key of Loeb Leven
castle is still in existence. 1t was
found in the lake and is supposed to
have been the n thrown in by the
young Douglas when Mary. queen Of
Scots, made her escape. The key was
originally in the possession of William
Hamper, Esq, who presented it to Sir
Walter Scott, having first had an en-
craving made of 1t.
The castle Of Loeb Leven is situated
on an island of about two acres near
the northwest extremity of the lake.
Queen Mary when she dismissed Both
we'll on Carberry hill and joined the
insurgents was carried captive into
Edinburgh and on the following day
committed to Loeb Leven castle. On
the 25th of March, 1868. she attempted
to escape thence in the disguise of q
laundress, but was frustrated.
On Monday, May 2, 1868, however.
while the family We're at supper Ne
boy. William Douglas, secured the keys
of the castle and gave egress to the
queen and her maid from the strong
hold; then, locking the gates behind
them to prevent pursuit. he placed the
fugitives in Il boat that lay neal at
hand and rowel them to the appointed
landing place on the north side of the
l3ke.-Stranl Magazine.

Too Much Culture.

Aunt Penelope Wiggins,' as every
body called her, was visited one sum.
mer by a niece, a Vassar college grad
uate. Aunt Penelope was one of the
most hospitable souls alive, but she
was not greatly impressed by the SUI
perior learning Of her young relative,
and n day she freed her mind about
her thus:
Talk to me about what a college
education does for a girl! What do
you suppose Matilda said to me the
first day she came? She said: I'm so
glad to meet you, aunty! You accent
your name on the Aunty Penultimate,
don't you" Did you ever hear such
nonsense? I had to tell her my name
wasn't Aunty Penultfmate, but Aunty
Penelope, and l thought she would die
a-lauehing!"

Woes Of the Rich Youno.

The children Of the rich today are not
allowed to be imaginative. They have
no Illusions. They do not have the
great and educative pleasure Of pre-
tense. In simpler, less material years
the child played att something. A
block OF wood was a locomotive. A
doll was a human being or a fairy.
The tin horse was aeeter and more
wonderful than Flora Temple or Dex-
ter. Now everything must be done for
he pleasure Of a girl or a boy. The
poor youngsters are not encouraged.
They are hardly allowed to invent their
W amusements, to turn plain and
humble things into something rare and
gloritied by sheer force Of Imagination.

English Versus French Roads,

In England it is almost impossible
to attain speed with safety. The roads
twist and turn and the walls and
hedges prevent the drivers seeing
what there is beyond a curve. An
average pace Of twenty-five miles an
hour is fairly good time in England.
OF course the country is settled much
more thickly than France, which adds
to the danger Of speeding. Speed laws
are enforced with severity in England,
but If You will try the mettle Of your
motor cross the channel. In France
the road Is yours.-Travel Magazine.
