Lectured by CARLYLE,

There are some amusing memories
at Kyleakin. in Skye, of visit once
made there by Carlyle travelling in the
train of Lady Ashburton. The Ky
leakinses felt a lively curiosity con-
corning the distinguished author. and
whenever he appeared in public he
was surrounded by crowd of admir-
ing men, women and children who had
heard sensational reports concerning
his ''cleverneSS as a scholar" Carlyle
seemed to like this hero worship until
these admirers clustered round him
while he was in the midst Of his sea
bath one day. Then he assailed them
in language much more emphatic than
to their heels and scamper off with all
speed out of his sight. Lady Ashbur
ton had prayers with her daughter and
servants morning and evening, but the
sage was never present. During these
periods. Neil Machines. the innkeeper,
used to relate. "he would lead me to
the coffee room and there. laying hold
of me by the coat buttonhole, be
would lecture to me for half an hour
on end on all sorts Of subjects, and he
would be so intent on it that he
wouldn't allow me to put in a word
Fancy" said Neil. that l should be
lectured to in such a way by Tommy
Carlyle!'-London Standard.

Ant Hills and Flies.

A recent traveller in central Africa
describes an interesting use Of the soil
of ant hills. 1t appears that it makes
excellent bricks, of which houses are
built. The natives tread it with water
into a doughlike substance. which is
shaped in rough wooden molds 1t is
then dried in the sun and afterward
baked in native kilns. The same SUBJ
stance is found to make excellent ten
mis- courts. 1t is mixed with water
into a thick paste. spread on the
ground and smoothed over with the
hands. The same traveller tells us how
the natives in the neighborhood OF
Lake Nyassa esteem a species of fly
as an excellent article of diet. 1t is
known as the ''kungu" and appears to
be peculiar to the lake. At certain sea-
sons Of the year these flies appear in
enormous numbers and are sometimes
blown in myriads over the land. If
this happens near village the natives
come out eagerly to gather them up
They make them into what they con-
slider a delicious confection.-London
Standard.

and exhibited no animus whatever, but
he also proved that he was the one
prosecuted. The widows hogs would
not let him alone. She was beaten
again, and this time a stout pen was
built. and the hogs were shut up. The
farmers had Of course taken sides
Some contended that Chisholm had ex-
hibited a mean and unneighborly spirit
and others that the widow had been
derelict in not mending her fences, and
there were much talk and discussion
1t occurred now and then that the two
principals met on the highway or at
the crossroads meeting house, but
while Chisholm lifted his hat and
bowed as if there was nothing on his
mind the widow, except for her blaz-
ing eyes, seemed carved of stone.
That pen held the hogs for long
six weeks, but hogpens have their
weak points, and patience and perse-
verance will seek them out. The hot
sun warped a board and made an open
ing, and the Industrious swine enlarged
it until one night they all passed out
and headed straight for the next farm.
They fetched up among the cabbages,
pumpkins, squashes, melons and car
rots, and during the long hours of
darkness they ran riot. They were
missed from the pen early next morn
ing. and the widow sat down on the
doorstep and cried. She cried because
she was veXed. and she cried because
she was woman. Every minute she
expected to hear the crack of CHS
holm's rifle. and she fully realized that
any further appeal to the law would
be wasted. She was veXed at the
hogs. at Josh and at Chisholm. Her
tears were still falling when the new
neighbor stood before her and bowed
and said:
Mrs Jason. those blamed hogs of
yours damaged me a hundred dollars
worth last night
"And how many more have you
killed." she asked
"None. I've just driven 'em home"
"But why-why"-
because | see how it is. | must
either kill off your whole drove or
build a pen myself. l shall come over
tonight to talk to you about it."
He appeared an hour after supper,
and it was II o'clock before he went
home. Even then the talk" was not
finished. AS a matter of fact. it re-
quired a great many evenings and was
only concluded one winters night
when she laid her head on his shoulder
and said:
eff you are really sure that you love
me. then the farm. the hogs and l are
yours
