A WilIino Scot.

Dean Ramsay has a story of that
border hostility between English and
Scots which used to go to halter
lengths. A Scottish drover was re-
turning from the south in particularly
bad humor with the English, having
done poor business, when he saw in
Carlisle notice offering a reward Of
ESQ to any one who would volunteer
for the unpopular task OF hanging a
condemned criminal Seeing his chance
to make up for his bad market and
comforting himself with the thought
that he was unknown there, he did
the job and got his fee. AS he was
leaving he was tainted as a beggarly
Scot, doing for money what no Eng
lshman would. But he answered, with
cheerful grin, ..I'll hang ye a. at the
price,

FEET OF SEA BEASTS.
Their Appearance When the Skin Is
Stripped Off.

Their Appearance When the Skin Is
Stripped Off.
OF all the feet that have looked at
know only one more utterly ridicu-
lous than the twisted ripper on which
the sea lion props his great bulk in
front, and that is the forked fly flap
which extends from the hinder part Of
the same. How can it be worth any
beasts while to carry such an absurd
apparatus with it just for the sake of
getting out into the air sometimes and
pushing oneself about on the ice and
being eaten by polar bears? The por-
poise has discarded one pair, turned the
other into decent fms and recovered a
grace and power Of motion in water
which is not equaled by the greyhound
on land. Why have the seals hung
back? believe know the secret. 1t
is the baby! No one knows where the
porpoise and the whale cradle their
newborn infants-it is so difficult to
pry into the domestic ways of these
sea people-but evidently the seals
cannot manage it, so they are forced
to return to the land when the cares of
maternity are on them.
! have called the feet of these sea
beasts ridiculous things. and so they
are as we see them. But strip of the
skin, and, 10, there appears a plain
foot, with its five digits, each of sew
eral joints, tipped with claws, nowise
essentially different, in short, from
that with which the toad or frog first
set out in past too distant for our
infirm imagination. Admiration itself
is paralyzed by a contrivance so sim
pie, so transmutable and so sufficient
for every need that time and change
could bring.-Strand Magazine.

QUEER BuRIALs.
Uncouth Methods Of the Nomads OIL
Queensland,

Uneouth Methods Of the Nomads Of
Queensland.
OF all the modes of burial ever prac-
ticed by creatures in the shape Of hu-
man beings the method Of the Queens
land nomads is certainly the most un-
couth. After drying the corpse in the
sun and knocking out its teeth for
keepsakes they deposit it on a frame
work Of rough poles and bury it under
few armfuls of rushes and old kan
CARGO skins, leaving the bush wolves
to sing its requiem.
No member Of the dead mans tribe
will settle within a mile of his grave
for fear Of being haunted by the spooks
making the burial place their midnight
rendezvous. The metaphysical opin-
ions Of the Australian aborigines prove
indeed that savages can be afflicted
with an abundance of supernaturalism
without betraying trace Of anything
deserving the name Of religious senti-
ment.
They believe in evil spirits whistling
in the blasts Of the storm wind and try
to exercise them by splitting in the di-
rection Of the sky, but for the concep-
lions OF the Deity, of future existence,
of repentance, atonement and con-
science their language has not even
definite word. From somewhere in the
land Of their forefathers- eastern Asia
perhaps-they have imported notion
family resembling the Buddhist doc

rior rank.-London Answers.

NOISES IN VENICE.
Khe Way They Crash Upon the Nor
NAL Quiet Of the City.

With all the water traffic and with
not a horse or a cab or wagon to
wake the echoes, the utter silence Of
Venice is the thing that first impresses
the traveller. Yet because there is no
undertone of city noises in which occa-
sional noises may merge the Grand
canal at Venice seems to the sleeper at
night the noisiest place in the world,
for every little noise crashes into
ones sleep, and the most wakeful
hours Of our six weeks in Italy were
spent on the Grand canal in Venice
The bells of the churches probably do
not ring louder nor more frequently
than they ring in other cities, yet be-
cause Venice is so still these bells
clang through the night like the alarm
of continuous and ever increasing
fire. The bawl of a lovelorn human
calf carrying home three drinks and
throbbing heart, noise that may be
heard by the attentive listener any
place on earth after II o'clock, in
Venice becomes insistent and demo-
niacal. The common quarrel in the
street enters the bedroom at night
with nerve racking distinctness, and
the morning song Of the market gar
dener bringing his wares to town in
his silent boat smites the sleeper's
ears like call to arms. If Macbeth
really did murder sleep, the crime was
done in Venice.
There are, of course, considerable
acres in Observation-Disclosures the
streets are paved and where commerce
goes on in the ordinary way, except
that there are no horses or carriages
In the narrow ways.-William Allen
White in Emporia Gazette.
