The Land o' the Leal,
One of the most tender strains ever sung
in Scotland is I,ady lVfeirne's "Land o' the
Leal." The author was a lovely Scotch
woman who married William Murray
Mairno, a military than of good position.'
She loved music and poetry and did much
to sweeten and purify the minstrelsy of
Scotland, She was most anxious to pre-
serve her anonymity, and today she is
known and loved for only this ono sweet
strain. These verses were written to con-
sole a friend of hers, a lady who lost her
only and dearly loved ohild:
I'm wearin' awn', John,
Like suaw-wreaths in thaw, John,
I'1>a wearin' awe,'
To the land o' the lead.
There's nae sorrow there, John,
There's neither eauld nor care, John,
Theday is aye fair
In the land o' the leal.
Our bonnie bairn's there, John,
She was baith gude and fair, John,
And oh! we grudge her sair
To the land o' the leal.
But sorrow's sal wears past, John,
And joy's a-ooming fast, John,
The joy that's aye to last
In the land o' the leal.
Sae clear that joy was bought, John,
Sae free the battle fought, John,
That sinfu' man e'er brought
To the land o' the lead.
Oh dry your glistening ee, John,
My soul Tangs to be free, John,
And angels beckon me
To the land o' the leal.
Oh, baud ye leal and true, John,
Your day it's wearin' through, John,
And. I'll welcome you
To the land o' the leal.
Now fare ye weel, my ain John,
The world's cares are vain, John,
We'll meet, and we'el be fain,
In the land o'' the lead.
The Power of a Telescope.
Prof. Hotden says that if the bright -
nem of a star seen with the eye alone
its one, with a 2 inch telescope, it is 100
times as bright; with a 4-ineli tele.
eope, 400 times ; S•inch telescope,
1600 times; 16 -inch telesenpe, ` 0400
32 -inch tolesuope, 25,000 tuned; 30-
ineh telescope, 32.400 times. That
is, store erin be seer. with toe 30 -inch
telescope which are 80,000 tidies taiuter
than the faintest stars vleh'1e to the
naked eye. While the magnifying
power which can be successfully used
on the 5 -inch teles;ope is not above
400, the 36 inch telescope will permit a
magnifying power of more than 2000
diameters on suitable objects, stars for
example. With such a telescope the
the moon appears the same as it
would with the eye 200 !aides away.
This is the same as saying that objects
about .300 feet square can be recogniz-
ed, so that no village or great canal,
or eten large edifice, can be built on
the ()soon without our knowledge.

Household Hints.
1f the rollers ot a wringer are sticky
or covered with lint pass a cloth dam-
pened with kerosene between them.
Flat irons should be kept as far
removed from the steam of cook-
ing ire possible, as this is what causes
them to rust.
Let cold water froin a tap run on to
hard boiled ems. which enables you to
shell them quickly and preserves the
color of the whites.

Remarkable Beard.
Three brothers, searing a reeemb.

shop, A few days linea one of the
brothers entered the amp early in the

About 12 o'clock another brother

Save the Deer.
A petition addressed to the Legis-
lative Assembly of Ontario is being
largely signed by eportstnen and others
asking for the better protection of the
deer in the provincial forests. It seems
that during the open season the deer
are driven into the numerous lakes
and hays, where they are slaughtered
without mercy by men *she are station-
ed there in boats for the purpose. It
i$ admitted by ell those who have
giver, the matter a thought that this
must result r alt isl the utter extermination
of the deer • in n few years. Hence
the petition. It asks teat the open
season be confined to the first ten days
in November, and the killing of deer
in the water or from a boat be strictly
prohibited.

Misplaced Gallantry.
A judge, riding in the cars recently,
from a single glance of the counten-
ance of a lady by his side imagined he
knew her and ventured to remark that
the day was pleasant. She only an-
swered:
Yes.
Why do you wear a veil ?
Lest I attract attention.
It is the province of gentlemen
to admire, replied the gallant man of
law.
Not when they are married.
But I am not.
:indeed!
Oh, no. I'rn a bachelor.
The lady quietly removed her veil,
disclosing to the astonished magistrate
the face of his mother-in-law.—Boston,

Dwarfs from Generation to Gen-
ation.
Col. A, T. Fraser has sent us an in-
teresting note from Bellary with re-
gard to two l.iindoo dwarfs which he
photo; rephed in the Kurnouf district
of the Madras presidency, notfarsouth
of the river Kistna. In speech and
intelligeutie the dwarfs were not indie-
tinguishahle from ordinary natives of
India• From ee interrogation of them
it appeared that he belonged to a fam-
ily all the male members of which
have been dwarfs for several getter -
'Wens. They marry ordinary native
girls, and the female children grow up
like those of other people. The males,
however, though they develop at the
natural rate until they reach the age
of six, thele cease to grow, and become
dwarfs. These stunted specimens of
humanity are almost helpless, and are
unable to walk more than a few yards.

Why Earls' Wives are Called Coun-
tesses.
Verstegsu, in his V estiges, states:
Before we borrowed the word tumour
we used instead thereof our own
ancient word ear. Her noble and
gentle we used ethel. Ethel was
sometimes in composition abridged to
el. So as of ear•ethel, it seine to he
ear -el, and by abbreviation earl. 1t
is as touch as to say, honor noble or
noble of honour. Earl is the ()illy
title of nobility derived frotn the
Anglo -Saxon for tttrousrll Williaiu the
Ocr,quernrfirst ivade hereditary earle
they were to Ise called counts,
ancient title, however, bold,+ its posi-
tion to the present, and in ackuowl-
Edgment of the Norman-French the
wives of earls are called countesses.

Little things often change the cur-

often severed a friendship which

Horticultural Notes.
The daily use of fruit helps materi-
ally to make people independent of the
doctor.
Remember that the very best time
to put manure around fruits, both
large and small, is in the fall. 1f this
is dune, the rains wash the plant food
down to the roots dialog the winter,
and when the best growing season
comes it is iu the best possible condi,
tion for use by the rootlets.
Pruning may be done at any time
wheu the trees are not in full loaf.
Whether it should be done 111 the fall,
in open weather during the winter or
in the epr iug depends upon the conven-
ience of the planer. Most farmers
and orchardists are apt to be unusually
busy towards spring. When it gOtS
warm enough to work out of doors
there a'e innumerable matters that
require their uttei'tiun, and if pruning
hast nut been attended to before, it is
apt to he neglected. 'frees and vines
that are only half hardy should not be
pruned so closely in the fall as would
be proper nA the spring. The cut is
porous and which admits cold which
the closer bark of the tree would ex•
3lude. Some farmers make it practice
of pruning trees in June in order to
prevent sap sprouts where the branches
are cut ant, This practice injures the
thrift of the trees, Tut it 'bey be ad-
visable for young orchards that grow
two much wood and do trot bear fruit
as they should, The cheek which lute
sluing pruning gites to sueh trees
induces the formation of fruit buds,
and the trees wtll bear the year after.
But the better way with most trees is
to prune when the budtl ate dormant,
and rub out the sprouts when they
have grown a fete triches in the spriug.
There is leas check to the tree to this
way, brit enough to make it more pro-
dnotive than it Would otherwise lee,
