"A FER0cloUs EARL.
Alexander Of Buchan, Known as the
HWoIf Of Badenoch,n

Alexander of Buchan, Known as the
wolf Of Badenoch.p5
During the restoration Of Dunkeld
cathedral the workmen unearthed the
remains Of Bishop Sinclair, one of
those who assisted in the building of
the cathedral, and Of the notorious
Alexander, earl Of Buchan, whose fe-
rocity won for him the significant
title of the "wolf of Badenoch." A
memorial marks the spot where the
"wolf" was buried, and 1t has often
been a subject Of remark by visitors
that man who plundered churches
and in various ways showed his hatred
of the clergy should have been laid
to rest side by side with bishops and
other high ecclesiastNs.
Alexander, earl Of Buchan, was a
younger son of Robert II. Of Scotland.
During the closing years Of the lat
ter's reign the chief powers in the
state were delegated to his sons, the
earls Of Fife and Buchan, and after
the accession Of Robert Ill, an anna
BILE but weak prince, this unfortu-
nate delegation was allowed to be con-
tinued. The Earl of Buchan ruled
over the northern part Of Scotland
with an authority little less than re-
gal. He has been described as scarce
ly better than a savage cruel, fero-
cious and relentless. Among his ex-
ploits was the destruction Of the mag
nificent cathedral Of Elgin. He car
ried OFF the chalices and vestments,
polluted the shrines with blood and
dnally set fire to the noble edifice, the
houses Of the canons and the town
itself. he also laid waste a large part

Air and Water "Cures."

1t is a remarkable fact that. as with

people find beneficial, no one has YET
clearly and decisiveIy shown, in the

chemical effect of special kind or

HIS MISTAKE.
II Was Costly, but Cured Him Of an
Irritating Habit.

II Was Costly, but Cured Him Of an
Irritating Habit.
Bunsen was always a great kidder.
He isn't any more.
Bunsen is lawyer, although, Of
course, he is known by a different
name. Don't ever get the idea, though,
that this didn't really happen just be-
cause Bunsen's real nomination isn't
mentioned.
AS we were saying. Bunsen used to
be pretty much Of a kidder. He would
even kid his own patient little wife.
Those who care to read on down a
little farther will learn why he ceased
to be a kidder.
One evening last week when Bunsen
got home his wife had a new hat to
show him. 1t was some hat. Any
body could have seen that 1t was the
final phrase in female headgear
! But Bunsen started in to make fun
Of 1t. He said it looked as If it had
been trimmed by cross eyed milliner
| on an empty stomach. And he made a
lot of other disparasing remarks that
were extremely haraSsing to poor Mrs
Bunsen.
"D'je buy it sight unseen?", he In
quired. "Say, how much do they pay
| the girl that sold you that? She ought
to have a raise. Any girl who could
put that one over a customer must be
| something Of smooth saleslady. I'm
here to remark"
Mrs. Bunsen was almost in tears
Bnnsen had to go into the other room
to have quiet laugh at her expense
Oh, he was the great kidder, all right
4 The next day. though. he had forgot.
/ ten all about the hat.
The day after that he was reminded
Of his little jokefest. Mrs. Bunsen
handed him a slip Of paper when he
came home to get his victuals that
i evening. 1t was bill for retrimmine
that hat: 1854 it came to.
Bunsen paid 1t without murmul
and said the revised edition Of the hat
was just exactly right. He isn't max
ing fun of hats any more.-Clevelan6

beyond the comprehension Of the COM

Iohn wesley at Iaekson.s romh.

We had forgotten until reminded by the
patriotic address Of the Hon. John Wes-
ley Gaines before the House on Jackson
Day that the Tennessee Congressman
had made a pilgrimage TO the home and
tomb Of the great Democrat on October
% last. The pilgrimage was otherwise
notable by reason OF the attendance OF
the President Of the United States. who
then and there. amid sacred scenes and
associations, vowed eternal fealty to the
pending bill for the care and preserya-
ton of the Hermitage. II was an event
that viii long be treasured in the archives
Of the Tennesseeans. Often had the Presi-
dent impaired to his bosom friend Gaines
his ardent longing 10 visit the homestead
of Old Hickory. At last his fervent de-
sire was gratiied. 1T was a feast to
him." records our pilgrim. He particu-
larly reioiced that he had, for the first
time, a chance to examine the great books
in Jacksons library. He was glad TO
know the kind Of books Jackson read
the kind every Tennesseean is brought
up on; strenuous works. full of meat.
Then the President delivered his famous
speech. One passage particularly i'm

BY the eternal, John Wesley Gaines is

incontrovertibly right, than when he
enunciated these four unimpeachable
propositions:

and never viii We have never had but one George
Washington, and never viii. We have never had

shrewd in diplomacy. democratic in his
disposition. sweet and sunny in his ma

life, and embodying a personal expert
ence that fits him better for the great
Office than any other man Of his day. He
knows not only his own country, but
the whole world, and all the world knows
and hOnOrs him. He is his own boom "
All these accessories, judiciously con-
Quoted, help, but it is many moons too
late TO talk of launching OF a discovery.
The whole State is talking about him. and
nine out Of ten men one meets are for
him.

4 Metaphor with a History.

From the Manchester Guardian.
To know a hawk from a hernshaw" Is
a metaphor with a curious history. 1t IS
& comparison drawn from falconry "Hern-
shaw" is a corruption Of ''heronshaw, g"
or young heron, bird which was COM
mon prey of the falcons. To know a
hawk from a hernshaw is, therefore, to
be able to distinguish the falcon from its
prey further colloquial corruption
crept into the phrase-'to know a hawk
from a handsaw,' a form used by Ham
let in one place. Possibly the distinction
between a hawk and q hernshaw was
found not TO be strong enough for the
purposes Of the proverb.

From the New York Herald.

From the New York Herald
Improvement In the money market has
been so rapid since the turn Of the year
as to enable the banks of the Clearing
House Association 70 convert a reserve
deficiency amounting 10 600 on De-
cember % into surplus reserve Of
100000 yesterday. The weekly bank
statement, issued after the close Of busi-
ness. marks an epoch in the financial sit

For eleven successive weeks. or from
October IS until January 4, local clearing
house banks showed reserve deficiencies
amounting 10 the heavy sum, on Novem-
Der %. of s54. Coz. 900. Both as 10 the maxi
mum amount and the duration Of the
deficit there is no parallel in local bank
ing history with the recent experience
But matters have been steadily upon the
mend and they are now readjusting them
selves rapidly.
A favorable feature OF yesterdays
statement was that so much Of the great
cash gain Of SlSo0OO00 came from the in
terror and marks release Of boarded
money. With the deficit removed and a
surplus reserve restored. the clearing
