AneUnt Scotch Custom Which Involved
Human Sacrifice..
Sir John Sinclair's "Statistical Ac
count of Scotland" contains notices of
many old customs, which still contln
oed to be observed In the Highlands,
though they were even then fast dying
out From the eleventh volume of that
great work, which was published in
1791 and the succeeding years, we
learn, on the authority of the minister
of Callender. Perthshire, that the boys
of the township assembled In a body
upon the moors on May day and pro
ceeded to dig a circular trench, leaving
the soil In the center undisturbed, so as
to form a low table of green turf suf
ficient In size to accommodate the
whole party.
They lighted a fire and prepared a
rustard of milk and eggs and a large
Mhneal cake, which they baked upon a
tone placed in the embers. When they
had eaten the custard, they divided the
cake into as many equal portions as
there were persons to the assembly
and daubed one of those pieces with
charcoal until It was perfectly black.
They then placed all the pieces of cake
together in a bonnet, and each In turn
drew one blindfolded, the holder of the
bonnet being entitled to the last piece.
The boy who drew the blackened por
tion was destined to be sacrlfied and
was compelled to leap three times
through the flames.
Although the ceremony had degen
erated Into a mere pastime for boys, It
Is evident that it must once upon a
time have Involved the actual sacrifice
of a human being In order to render
the coming summer fruitful. Gentle

A QUICK TOUCH.
Sh Needed Money and Sent a
Me-
sag That Would Fetch It.
A flay or two ago a woman entered
a suburban telegraph office and said to
the receiver of messages that she de
sired to telegraph her husband, who
was away lu the country, to ask him
for money. He pointed her to the
counter supplied with blanks and told
her the rate for a dozen words. She
struggled away for a quarter of an
hour and then handed In the follow
ing: "Won't you please send me 5 by
next post?"
"I don't know whether that will do
or not" she said as she felt for her
purse. "If you were to receive such
a telegram from your wife, would you
forward the money?"
"Well well, I might," he replied in
doubtful tones.
"Now, you wait. I don't like the
telegram at all, because I tried to keep
It within twelve words. I'll write an
other." She tore It up. walked over to the
counter and in three minutes handed
In a new one reading:
"Am out of food and fuel and want
5 as soon as you can get it here. If
you can't spare it I'll pawn the parlor
carpet."
'That would bring the money from
me," said the counter clerk as he read
the lines and marked the number of
words.
"Then It will from him. Send It

Investigating Grandpa.
A grandfather, well known In the
English house of commons, was chat
ting amicably with bis little grand
daughter, who was snugly ensconced on
bis knee.
"What makes your hair so white,
grandpa?" the little miss queried.
"I am very old, my dear; I was In
the ark," replied bis lordship, with
painful disregard of the truth.
"Oh, you are Noah?"
"No."
"Are you Shem, then?"
"No, I am not Shem."
"Are you Ham?"
"No."
"Then," said the little one, who was
fast ncaring the limit of her Biblical
knowledge, "you must be Japheth."
A negative reply was given to this
query also, for the old gentleman In
wardly wondered what the outcome
would be.
"But, grandpa, if you are not Noah
or Sbem or Ham or Japheth you must
be a beast!"
The Evil Eye.
The "evil eye" was one of the many
superstitions that at one time beset
humanity In the time of Its ignorance.
It was believed throughout the middle
ages that certain persons bad the pow
er of cnrslng you by their glances, of
subjecting you to the fascination which
jnopposed, blighted and destroyed you.
Amulets of various forms were used
against this much dreaded power as
well as certain practices, eucb as laugh
ing, spitting and turning a somersault.

Doing Without the Dot.
The small letter "1" was formerly
written without the dot The dot was
Introduced In the fourteenth century
to dlBlnguIsh "I" from "e" In hasty
and Indistinct writing. The letter T'
was originally used where the letter
"J" Is now employed. The distinction
between and "J" was Introduced by
the Dutch printers at a comparatively
recent date, and the "J" was dotted
kecause the 'V from which It was de
rived, was written with a dot
Value of Religion.
"Some people," said the Rev. Mr.
Goodman, "can never be made to ap

to catch the church trade at all." Phil

The Amri1tlt of Oyster.
One of the most profound remarks
ever made by that profound philoso
pher, Thackeray, was wheu be passed
two tubs of oysters side by side, and he
saw one was labeled "Is. a dozen" and
the other "Is. 3d. a dozen." ne ex
claimed, "How those oysters must
bate each other!"
Wejl, "even an oyster may be crossed
In love," and William Dean Howells
has another tale to tell anent the psy
chology of the oyster. At one of the
little suppers that tho poet Longfellow
gave to the brilliant Cambridge circle
James Russell Lowell paused with the
pepper box poised above his plate of
oysters to say whimsically, "It's as
tonishing how these fellows love pep
per." "Dear me! You don't say so!" ejacu
lated a nice, .prosy old gentleman who
used to sleep through the suppers. The
temptation was too strong to be resist
ed, and Lowell was fairly launched
Into an account of how a red pepper
accidentally dropped Into a basket of
oysters had been drawn out with half
a dozen of the bivalves clinging to It
when the ever gentle Longfellow Inter
posed to save his matter of fact old
friend.
Grandma's Destination In Doubt.
Ethel Is of the mature age of Ave.
Recently her grandmother concluded
that It devolved on her to Instruct the
child in religious matters.
"You must be a good girl, Ethel," she
said. "Then you will go to heaven
when you die."
Ethel seemed scarcely pleased with
this reward for exceptional conduct.
Don't you want to go to heaven?"
asked grandma with a look of re
proach.
"Oh, I don't know," temporized Ethel.
I guess not."
"Why not?" demanded grandma se
verely.
"Because maybe I couldn't get out,"
answered Ethel.
"You wouldn't want to get out," re- I
plied grandma.
"Oh, yes, I should," returned Ethel
with conviction.
No." argued grandma, "you would
not Why should you want to get out
of heaven?"
Why." answered Ethel. "I euess I'd
want to go and see you once in awhile,
wouldn't I?" Woman's nome Com

"You'd better search his pockets,
