Where was there a braver man, I wonder, than Sir Richard Burton? Once, though, his face paled and his breath came in gnats. A ghost did it, o f course, and this was the man ner of it: Burton was told of a house in London— quite a poor sort at house, by the way— which was said to be haunted. “ I do not be lieve it,” replied Burton. Then he was told that it was a specially ter rible kind of ghoet, and he said he didn’t believe that either. He would go and see. To the empty house (the three last tenants had been found dead in bed, and such things get talked about) went Bur ton with a friend and a dog. “ Come ap with me,” said he to his friend, and at his own request the compan ion locked Burton in the room and took the key down with him. “ I Groceries J.

To open the door was the work o f an instaht, and then into his arms reeled Bur ton, almost dead with terror. “ The place is accursed,” he gasped. "W hat have you seen?” begged the friend. Burton’s head shook. “ No, no,” he cried. “ My poor, dog’s dead. I’m almost palsied with fright. More than that, no, no, I cannot tell you!” Now, this is quite true, and the house was immediately aft erward torn down. What did Bur ton see ? No one knows. He is dead now, poor fellow, and no one ever will. The three tenants conld tell ns, hut terror and death came to gether to them.— London Tatler. 1 ■ — Aneiant Church Cuaterna. In the age o f witchcraft and su perstition it was believed that the fairies built the old kirks in Glas gow and that they had a right to them. So said Mr. W. B. Paterson, lecturing before the Old Glasgow club. Tne accommodation afforded the parishioners was very different1 from the present luxurious age. There were no pews in Scottish kirks before the reign o f Charles I. The people had to bring their stools with them, end thoee that did not do this simply sat down on the floor. For the evening service par ishioners likewise brought candles and candlesticks. On the question o f the separation o f the sexes Mr. Paterson mentioned the interesting fact that there still existed a church in the city where this rule waa ob served.— London Globe.

Early Opinions af tha Potato. The useful potato, although in troduced into England by Sir Wal ter Raleigh in 1584, was for many years little cultivated or appreci ated. In James I.’s time it sold for 2 shillings a pound, and it did not come into general use in many parts o f the country until the end o f the eighteenth century. Morti mer’s “ Gardener’s Kalendar,” pub lished in 1708, describes potatoes as being “ very like Jerusalem arti chokes, though not so good,” and adds, “ They may perhaps prove use ful for swine.” And in Scotland re ligious writers exhorted Iheir read ers to eschew the potato because it was not mentioned in the Bible.— London Chronicle. Tha Mamory of Ant«. A remarkable fact in the physiol ogy of ants is their memory. The number o f ants that go to make a nest is enormous, yet they are all personally known to each other and are able to recognize members of their own community after a pro longed absence. Sir John Lubbock kept one of these remarkable in sects from its home for a year. On its return the relatives from whom it had been so cruelly separated rec ognized their wanderer and welcom ed it back, while an ant introduced from another nest was most inhos pitably treated, even murdered and thrown out. Lag! a. Here is a prettv quibble from “ Logic For the Million,” by Mr Sharper Knowlson: David said in his wrath, “ All men are liars.” Therefore David was a liar. Therefore what David ¿Aid was hot true. Therefore David was not a liar. But if David was not a liar what he said was true— namely, that all C. B. Cummings, Newberg, Or.
