The Great Art of Dying.

To die without rebellion and without
weakness is the masterpiece of man.
A mountain guide-whoee name the
London Daily Mail does not mention
in narrating the story of his heroism-
with two others, was leading party
over ore of the most dangerous passes
Of the higher Alps.
The men, as is usual, were tied to-
gether by a long rope. AS they scaled
wall of ice they slipped on the
edge of a frightful chasm. The guide
was at the end of the rope.
Without his weight there was
chance for the others to regain their
footing; with it, his experienced eye
told him. there was none. With In
slant courage he drew his knife from
his belt and said quietly to the man
next him:
'Tell mother how it happened. Ed
mond."
He cut the rope and fell, never to be
seen again.

st. Giles, with its queer crown-shaped
steeple, interesting on account of its
connection with the name of John
Knox. All along the way the streets
are strange and ancient in look, the
houses are high and narrow. There
! are queer little closes, which may be
likened to modern alleys. Every one
of these old places has its story. There
is the house of John Knox, and near
by the Church of St. Giles are the old
parliament houses, in front of which

reformer, John Knox.
Beyond St. Giles church, there is q
heart in the pavement marking the
site of the Heart of Midlothian, i'm.
mortalized by Scott in his novel of
that name.
The old town Is a sort of epitome of
Scottish history for the last 500 years.
Even back of history to legend runs
the tales of this ancient burgh. But
the visitor, having passed up the long
street first called Canongate, then
High, and near its end Lawnmarket
reaches the castle esplanade, fully $50
feet In length. at the end of which on
the summit of the rock stands Edin-
burgh castle. The asplanade, now used
as an infantry parade ground, in an.
Client times was the spur and used to
serve as the place of execution.
The castle, an impregnable strong
hold before gunpowder was invented,

interest centers. From Holyrood pal
ace up to Castle Rock every street and
every spot is connected with the ro-
mantle past Of "Old Scotia's glory"
Holyrood, the palace of the Scottish
kings, the place where Mary Queen of
Scots lived and where Rizzio was MUIR
dered, is located in the lower part of
the old town. This is where the pious
David 1. of Scotland, through his
vision of the Holy Cross, founded a
monastery, which later became pal
ace of Scottish royalty. Its location,
on rather low ground with Arthur's
seat towering 1872 feet high, back OF 1t,
is gloomy rather than beautiful. In
fact, the palace is gloomy, solemn
place. The rooms Of Mary and the
ruined chapel alike tell their tale of
gloom. 1t was a sorry spot for a
comely, young queen-this grim home

On the battlement of the castle
called the Kings Bastion is the IA
nous gun Mons Meg, huge piece Of
ordnance forged from bars Of iron
welded together, with 20 inches bore

1t is, however, in the Grand parade

Gated Queen Mary's rooms, the Crown
room and parliament hall.
Here in the palace is shown the tiny
room where James WI. was born, alsd
the larger room occupied by Mary
Queen of Scots, Here also in the pal
ace of the Stuarts is the great hall II
which ambassadors were received and
parliaments held during the reign Of
the early Stuarts.
Back, far back of history, legend
tells of this castle, but its authentic
history dates from Malcolm III. toward
the end of the eleventh century.

IN beautiful cities. History and
legend unite to make Edin-
burgh fascinating to the traveller.
With its towering eminences Of Cotton
Hill and Castle Rock, with its pictur-
esque old town and it's beautiful new
town, it forms an impressive sight.
It's location is most picturesque: 1t Is
situated in the north part of Mid
lothian, nearly two miles from the
Firth of Forth. A large open valley
separates the new and old towns.
Few who have not visited Scotland
realize how beautiful as its capital, nor
how filed with interest it Is. New
Edinburgh is modern in every respect.
Its charmingly laid-o It streets, its love-
ly parks, its elegant buildings speak
of prosperity. The new town has
three principal streets-Prince, St.
George and Queen. Prince is called
by some the most beautiful business
street in the world. Right in the midst
of the business district are Princes
and Queens gardens, noted the world
over. The stores and buildings, the
churches and monuments, the gal
leries and museums all attract the Wis
ltor's attention. While at the lower
end Of the new part Carlton Hill, sur
mounted by it's Parthenon-like monu-
ment, towers lofty eminence of i'm
pressive aspect. In broad Princes
street stands the great monument to
Scott. On st. Georges street are
statues of many Of Scotlands great
men.
The beauties of new Edinburgh are
such that one might cover pages in
telling Of them. And yet, though the
New Town, with its modern buildings.
its gardens and parks, may hold the
visitor and invite the weary traveller,
it is in old Edinburgh that greatest

forward an article designed to elm.

these devices is the kueepad designed
by three Illinois men. This pad is a
concave steel piece worn over the

outward. On the inside Of the pad.
toward the knee. is a cushion lining
to allow the wearer to kneel on II
without bruIsing himself. The har.

of q pair of side bars running from
the ankle to the knee. At the upper

There are newspapers controlled by

The newspapers which are established

There are newspapers controlled by
great corporations, and the voice Of
such newspapers Is always raised in
