The Life Story of a Sow.

To get the full flavor of this anec-
dote, which occurs in Watts "Edin-
burgh and the Lothians," you must
know Edinburgh's Cowgate and its Gu
rious buildings. 1t happened to Dr.
Guthrie, after whom a street in the
neighborhood, inclosing part of the
Horse Wynd and College Wynd, is
named. DR.. Guthrie had climbed to
the summit of a tall land one day on
a charitable visit. When he entered
the room he perceived a SOW, of which
the family seemed very proud. How
ever did you get that great animal up
stairs?" asked the doctor, painting after
his climb. "Ay, but it never was doom"
was the laconic and conclusive reply.

Curious French Market.

There is curious old market near
Paris in which everything is sold at
secondhand Working girls can fit
themselves out there from head to
foot AS a writer says: Mimi can sell
her old felt hat and buy a straw one,
exchange her old dress for a new one
and, If she likes, buy a steak and
salad for her dinner, a paper bag Of
fried potatoes, sweets and some flow
ers for her window. Democracy is king
here, and no more attention is paid to
the millionaire who is looking for
something marvellous which he may
pick up cheap than to the man with a
wooden leg who wants a new boot in
exchange for a dozen sardine tins, FIVE
gloves and stocking.

A Curious Custom.

In Scandinavia the wedding shirt is
an important part of the husbands
marriage outfit. 1t is usual for the
groom, among other gifts. to bestow
upon his bride a prayer book. In re-
ciprocation SIC gives him a neatly en-
broidered shirt. and this he invariably
wears on his wedding day. Afterward
he puts it away and does not wear it
again while alive, but he wears it in
his grave. The Scandinavian widower
must destroy, on the eve Of his second
marriage. the wedding shirt which his
first wife gave him.
