ANCIENT scoNE PALACE.
Modern improvements in Growing
Place of Scotch Kings.

.
One of the finest old Scottish residences
Is ScOne Palace, near Perth, the ancient
center of the Pictish capital, former
browning place of the kings OF Scotland
and now the residence of the Earl of
Mansfield. representative Of the ancient
family OF Stormont.
Although the old abbey of Scone was
destroyed. several hundred years ago and
the site is now occupied by compare
lively modern building. much of ancient
association has been preserved, and the
palace is still a noble and venerable look
ing pile. its dull red castellated towers
backed by luXuriant woods and facing
over stretches of rolling green park. the
meeting place OF the Almond and Tay.
The great gallery at Scone. which is 100
feet long. occupies the place of the old
hall where kings were crowned in days OF
yore, the coronation of Charles II having
taken place there in 1861 and that of the
Chevalier st. George in the fifteen"
Among the valued relics Of the house are
the old four-post bed used by James VI,
and another with hangings of richly
wrought velvet, said to have been the
work of the fair but ill-fated Queen Mary
during her imprisonment at Lochleven.
Even Of later years Scone has been hon
Ored by the visits of royalty. her late maj
esty Queen Victoria having paid quite a
long visit at the palace in 1872 the occa-
sion of her first visit to Perth, and again
after the death of the prince consort. The
present earl has done wonders for the
palace in the way of introducing modern
improvements. both within and without,
and bringing the domestic arrangements
up to date in every way.

VAIN AS A PEACOCK.
Male Bird Enraptured With Its Re-
Fiction in a Mirror.

>~SSsAS&4
From the London Spectator.
venture to send you some curious par
ticulars about the behavior of young
peacock that is kept here. 1 should be
glad to learn whether our experience can
be confirmed or illustrated by any of your
readers. The bird began by sedulously
frequentingt he stable yard and whenever
the carriage was brought out of the
coach house he would take his stand by it
and gaze at his reflection in the panels.
He then took to accompanying the car
riage up to the house, and, standing be-
side 1t at the front door. engaged in self
contemplation. He now runs behind the
carriage. when 1t starts from the house,
down to certain point of the drive, appar-
emily In the hope that II may stop and
allow him to continue his favorite oc-
cupation, but he seems to conclude at a
certain place that the case is hopeless,
though If the carriage halts farther down
the drive he will rejoin it and resume his
observation. 1t occurred to us to wonder
what he would do If a looking glass were
placed on the lawn. This was accord
ingly done, and he at once found it out.
Nothing Will induce him to. quit it, He
will stand by it for hours together.
AT first he occasionally looked inquisi-
lively behind the glass at intervals to see
II bird was actually present, but he has
given this up now. he STANDS in front OF
1t, entirely absorbed, often motionless for
a long time. occasionally moving his head
gently up and down, and sometimes soft
ly touching the glass with his bill, APP
pearing slightly bewfldered by the con-
tact. If food is thrown to him he takes
no notice, unless 1t is close 10 the glass.
when he will hurriedly gobble il up and
return to his more congenial employment
In haste, as though veXed at being inter-
rupted Ii the glass is taken into the
drawing room. which is on the ground
floor looking into the garden. he will enter
the room by door or window, and the glass
and continue his favorite pursuit, and he
spends the greater part of the day at the
door that leads from the drawing room
into the garden in the hope that some
one may bring out his glass for him.
Meanwhile the peahen Is sitting on a nest
of eggs in hedge close at hand. He new
er goes near her. his only idea being to
find opportunities for contemplating his
own projections. l suppose that the
proverb LAS vain as peacock refers to
the birds habit of spreading his tail and
strutting about, but 1t Is curious to find
that this instructive vanity lies deeper still.
and is not confined to the desire to arouse
the admiration of his mate. as is generally
taken for granted, but is based upon a
genuine complacency and an almost NOR
bid consciousness of his personal attrac-
tons.

NEW YORK, September 16-Central
office detectives are trying to solve the
mystery surrounding the shooting in Cen
trail Park Monday night of the Rev.
Father Arturo AsenciO, who came to this
country two months ago from his home in
Santiago de los Coballieros, d city in
Santo Domingo.
The detectives believe the priest at
tempted suicide. There are some fea-
lures about the case which they say may
litter on change their theory.
Father Asencio who is about thirty-five
years old and short of stature left his
native land in July. He went to Mon
treal, where he saw two nephews who are
in college. August he arrived at the
Hotel Inglaterra, in West 18th street.
He was identified by a friend in the
Presbyterian Hospital yesterday. The
physicians say his chances for recovery
are slight. He has been unconscious prac-
tically ever since he was found.
There was report yesterday that the
priest might be the victim of political
plot and that agents of the revolutionary
party in Santo Domingo had shot him.
Another report was that a woman. or
probably her husband. might have fired
the shot. The police could find nothing
to verify these rumors.
Had Woman's Address.
Three days after his arrival in town
Father Asencio deposited 1856 with Jose
Gonzales. the proprietor of the hotel.
That afternoon the priest called upon
Archbishop Farley to whom he had a
letter of introduction.
The next day the priest showed Anto-
MO Gonzales, son of the hotel proprie-
tor. the name and address of a married
woman living In West 11Oth street. Con
gales could not recall the name ado -ess
yesterday.
Father Asencio asked Gonzales to &C
company him to the 10th street address
The young man said he did not have time
but directed the priest to take the IL
and get off ut 10th street.
The next day the priest told Gonzales
he had searched along 10th street OPP
poste the park for nearly three hours.
but had been unable to locate the woman.
He said he lad known her in Santo Do
