' (aonolueett from our last.) EDINBURGH RAIN AND SLUM. In the summer, the (seethes run to Roslin, but as it was too early for them, I went by rail. The sun was shining when we . left Edinburgh, but we had not gone far when it started_ to rain, and it did rain, so that when we got to the little station ab Roslin the wind and sleet were sweeping down the glen like a hurricane. Of course I -knew that even a bargain umbrella could not stand such a storm, and although the sta. then master said he was afraid it would not clear up that day, I was sure it could not rain like that for very long. n tailor-made riped cheviots, 5.00 to $20.00. Well ! I sat in the station, read all about Roslin castle in my guide book and then loeked at my return ticket, for my chances of getting any farther seemed small indeed. There was a train baok to the oity at ,11, bet not another till two in the afternoon, and as it was nearing 11, I thought I must make a try anyway. I got outside the door and started up the road, but had hardly gone any dietanoe when the wind blew my bargain umbrella iriside out and twisted the ribs as though they were made of wire. I was so read at the thing I could not be civil to a man who asked if he might fix the um- brella for me. Turning it as best I could I walked a few steps farther and then turned around and ran for the station shelter. After that I know I would take the very first train baelt even thought I was only fifteen minutes' walk from the beauties of Rodin. II don't think I was ever out when the wind and the rain were both doing suoh big Work as they were that day, but of course Edinburgh is just a fine place for a moss wind to show what it can do. From the etation I hurried &chose to the luntheon, norm that I knew would be warm and in- viting, and gob a table at a window, I did enjoy the lunch and amused myself by Watching the people trying' to get along ; princes street. By that time the pave. rents Were as Slippery as could be and one! ould not even hold up an umbrella that was I not a bargain, for you can imagine what a etveep the wind would get over that ravine! and across Princess street. That Monday,. wae Glasgow's public holiday and Edinburgh was full of those who had hoped to spend a, day at the sights. I did feel so sorry for' the men, women and children who would; persist in poking up and down the street.I They would take shelter in a shop doorway: for a time and then make a mad rush for} the street, only to be beaten and, battered by the wind and rain. I had a laugh at al woman who was standing at the head of thel Waverly station steps. She had on an old; fashioned waterproof cape, a circular one; With arm -holes at the sides, and did not notice as I did that the waterproof was: filling up at the back like a baleen. Present- ly a great guilt of wind came that took her nmbrella out of her hand and so filled up the cape that she weird have been drawn over this stairs if a policeman had not rescued! her. The man re -adjusted her Umbrella and she straightened her hat, but she neieer budged from the top of those ;stairs, and the last I saw *f her she was jstill staiding there waiting for another gust of wind; / suppme. I thought it a good ;opportunity to go about the shops and did not begrudge the time when it was 50 un`. !pleasant outof doors. I got back to Baxter's place about the ;middle of the afternoon, and had half made !up my my mind to stay in, when I saw in e paper a notice of an organ recital in "Ste ' Mary's bathedral for four o'clock ; so off I went to that, but the oar took me quite neat the church. However, I went around that church three times before I got in and didn't the wind play havoo with my umbrella. I was bound it must sob as an umbrella and put it up again most religiously ever time it deoided to twist itself out of shape. I was somewhat riled when I found some other people could get in the firet door I had trie0 and thought was locked, but I was ndt sorry that I had gone to the recital, for the music was splendid. There were nob many there, and I wa,s glad to see that some of them looked as though they were the hell. cley people. On the way back Igot out to ate St. Cuthbert's church. It was service time, but there were only three women present. The church is very plain inside, but has an interest quite its own. 1 had wanted to hear Dr. McGregor on the Srinday, but jI could nob go every place. it is said that this minister was one of Queen Victoria's favoritee.

Lord Kitch- ener's three despatches, detailing the dims. ter, read as follows: " Pretoria., Saturday, March 8.--I greatly regret to have to send you bad news of Methuen.

I forget the name he gave to the pictures, but they look- ed like photographs, and were copies of the best works of the leading artist of that year, James Patrick. The scene of most of ; the pictures was in the vicinity of Rain - (.1 burgh, about the Pentland Hills; and the shepherds' cottages needing at the foot of the hills, the sheep on the flats and thelhill aide, and the rugged but kindly faced eliep- ; herd, with hie wife industriously knitting, were all delightful subjects for the artist. 0 The shop keeper told e that Robert Isonis mStevenson, when a lad, was always sent to the hamlet homes in the Pentland hillIdis- triet, that he might escape the east winfls of Edinburgh's winter.
