Plbroch OF Donull Dhu.

Pibroch of Donuil Dhu,
Pibroch of Donuil,
Wake thy wild voice anew,
Summon Clan-Conuil!
Come away, come away:
Hark to the summons.
Come in your war array,
Gentles and commons.
Come from deep glen, and
From mountain so rocky;
The war pipe and pennon
Are at Inverlochy,
Come every hil-plaid, and
True heart that wears one;
Come every steel blade, and
Strong hand that bears one.
Leave INTENDED the herd,
The flock without shelter;
Leave the corps uninterred.
The bride at the altar;
Leave the deer, leave the steer,
Leave nets and barges;
Come with your fighting gear,
Broadswords and targes.
Come as the winds come when
Forest are rended,
Come as the waves come when
Navies are stranded.
Faster come, faster come,
Faster and faster,
Chief, vassal, page, and groom,
Tenant and master!
Fast they come, fast they come.
See how they gather!
Wide waves the eagle plume,
Blended with heather.
Cast your plaids. draw your blades
Forward each man set!
Pibroch of Donuil Dhu,
Khell for the onset!

No substance that refuses to dissolve
in water has an odor. 1t is the actual
substance. itself, floating In the air, that
appeals to the nose, and not simply
vibration OF the air, as in the case of
light and sound The damper a thing is,
the more powerful the odor 1t gives off.
A pleasant proof of the fact can be had
by walking in garden after rain.
There is no end to the curiosites of
smell. 1t Is, for instance, the vapor of a
liquid that smells and not the liquid in
the mass itself. If eau de cologne be
poured into the nostril the nose refuses
to recognize any odor there at all.-GThe

Too Harsh with Him.

Along a country road walked a man
and woman. The latter. a gaunt, stern
faced female was bullying the meek lit
tie fellow who trudged just in front of
her with downcast head.
Suddenly the woman, turning, saw
bull racing down the road behind them.
She quickly took refuge in the hedge. but
her compan MON, unconscious of aught but
his woes, kept on his way.
The bull caught up to him and sent
him spinning into a muddy ditch, then
continued on its wild career. AS the
wobegone figure crawled out of the mire
he saw his better half coming toward
him, Plucking up his little spirit he
whimpered:
"M-M-Maria, If you hit me like thai
a-g-g-ain you'll get my temper up, SO
