STORK'S VISIT TO SCOTLAND
Record of Birds Appearance In 1416 May Be Found in Chronicles of
 the Country.

The white stork of the continent of | Europe, which is encouraged in most, and even protected in some, of the | countries to which 1t resorts to breed. and round which much story and leg end have gathered, has been known for centuries to be an occasional vis- itor to the British isles, chiefly to Nor folk, but very rarely to Scotland, though 1t has never been known to nest or even attempt to do so in Brit ain.
 However, a record of its having nested in Scotland appears in Good alIs edition of the Standardization" This work was begun by John For dun, who died about 1884, and was continued by Walter Bower. the abbot of Inchcolm. It Is in Bowers chrOn- icles for 1416 that the story appears The translation runs thus:
 "In the year of our Lord, four teen hundred and sixteen, there died on the morrow of the birth of St. John the Baptist. Master James Biset, prior of St. Andrews. In this same year. a pair of storks came to Scotland and nestled on top of the church of St. Giles of Edinburgh and dwelt there throughout a season of the year; but to what place they flew away thereaf ter no one knows"
 Commenting on this, Lord Lagle Clarke says: ''The church of St. Giles, on which the storks nestled, was new stone edifice commenced in 1887, to re- place a former church destroyed in 1885, and some of 1t doubtless forms part of the cathedral of today"
 Sugar From the Garden.
 Gardeners who cannot raise sugar cane may be interested in the follow ing description, which appears in Chambers Journal, of the process of extracting sugar from beets. The ama teur must exercise great care in har- vesting the roots that the tender skin be not broken. The first operation Is to remove all dirt by washing, after which the beets are boiled in water until the skin peels off easily. They are next cut into thin slices, placed in a pan, just covered with water, brought to q boil once more and then left to simmer for ten hours. The re- sulting pulp is put into a muslin bag and squeezed until all the juice is ex- tracted. The juice is boiled down to a very thick sirup that makes a good substitute for commercial sugar. AS the sirup will not keep for more than a few weeks, it is advisable to make only a small supply at a time. The rOOtS however, can be stored for a long period without deteriorating if they are kept dry and free from frost. Youths COmDaniOn.

q consideration of the matter. how
ever II was shown that the schools are
still entitled to over 10000, and the
delegation LEFT with the assurance os
President Walton that ways would be
found for securing the full amount
due the School Commissioners In or
der that the teachers should be paid
promptly and in fuIl during the re-
mainder Of the school year.
Ii was explained that the situation
arose from the fact that consider
able amount of the taxes remains un-
collected, and also because the rate
was fixed upon the presumption that
the Court of Appeals would declare
the Annexation Act invalid, and the
property involved would remain as
taxable basis for this county At any
rate. the School Commissioners have
had to borrow money on account Of
the situation. and the county will
have to borrow more now TO fulfil its
obligation to the schools
